"PLUTO-SAN! Step away from the Gates Of Time!"
"You're too late, Usagi, the past is already in motion, the die cast." Dark Pluto smiled at her princess. "The male gender - always tempting you, always getting in your way. No longer!"
"What did you do?" Sailor Mercury began scanning. "The time period is... 1942?"
"Exactly," said Dark Pluto. "The Japanese government was very fond of biological weapons, and since they couldn't get enough nuclear material to build atomic weapons - they used it as a catalyst instead."
"Oh no," said Mercury, getting it immediately.
"What's she talking about?" asked Sailor Moon, not following this.
"By using low level radioactives to induce rapid mutation in disease organisms, that's what you're talking about, isn't it?" said Sailor Mercury, realizing that without some expositionary dialogue, none of her team-mates would have a clue.
"huh?" indicated Sailor Moon, still not getting it.
"Yes, but that wasn't where I intervened," said Dark Pluto. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"What she's saying is that during World War II, Japan used biological weapons extensively against China among other targets. She's done something to one of them," expositionary dialogued Mercury.
"AHHHH! In the name of the Moon I can't forgive you!" said Sailor Moon. "Though wasn't World War II a big misunderstanding and we were just attacking China before they could invade us?"
"Focus, Sailor Moon," said Mercury.
"Yes, focus, Sailor Moon Unit. Why should I stop with the destruction of all males? Why not come up with some manner of trimming the evolutionary deadweight from humanity?" mused Dark Pluto. "Snip away all the -"
"VENUS -"
"-JUPITER"
"- HI LOW ATTACK!"
Dark Pluto stopped. "You don't have a -"
Venus booted Dark Pluto in the head while Jupiter went for a legsweep.
"We do now," crowed Venus as Dark Pluto hit the floor.
"Quick, Mercury, do something!" called out Sailor Moon, beginning a wind up.
"Do what?!" asked Sailor Mercury. "How do I stop something when I don't know what she did?"
"I unleashed a plague that wiped out the male gender," said a voice.
"What?" Venus glanced at the fallen Dark Pluto. "A log in a seifuku? That's an old ninja trick!"
"AhhH!" Sailor Moon managed as serpentine masses of something began wrapping up the Senshi.
"So predictable," said Dark Pluto as the girls became wrapped up in strings. "I'll just keep you safe here while I prepare more permanent prisons. Temporal stasis should do."
"HMMMMMMPH!" protested Sailor Moon, trying to point out that Mamoru was necessary for Chibi-usa and that he was of the male gender.
"The plague bomb is ready and prepared, but it fails to go off until later. My little contribution ensures its survival till then, and then a nice little 98% kill rate. With an incubation period of one week, it will spread nicely. The plague that wipes all male humans out," said Dark Pluto, "hits in"
