Usagi's altered Senshi uniform thereby became accepted as a "costume" setting, with the weapons becoming magically charged as a sort of "accessory." The tiara hadn't been enchanted originally as a weapon after all, there hadn't been a Sailor Moon in the Silver Millenium to use such a thing.
So the next time Usagi transformed to Sailor Moon, the outfit was a little different from one might have expected.
The typical white gloves had reappeared, but they had combined with the black replacements to form padded armor segments and silver-metal knuckles then extending to the first knuckle where they stopped in a heavy ring around each finger. The studded bracers were part of the white gloves as well - becoming a set of armor backed padding.
The metal capped kneepads were now part of the boots, which were likewise padded in several places.
The belt holster with its pair of tonfa now looked more like it fit into the rest of the uniform, with the tonfa having changed from black lacquered wood to a yellow-bronze metal similar to the material used in the henshin pens.
Usagi nodded as she checked this out, then added a box of shuriken. She had to replace her dresser, so she'd invested a little effort to find a good deal and then use the extra money to get these. If the bad guys had hostages, hitting them with something from concealment at a distance would be cool. Then the dramatic entry and so on. Heh heh.
Luna watched from concealment and groaned.
Usagi checked the weather. It was a bit nippy outside. Best to wear a jacket.
Jadite lurked in the background and observed as much as possible. Three times now he'd had yoma return with serious injuries and panicked tales of a RIVAL Dark Kingdom. One had related the appearance of a body shifting yoma of some kind that had switched a cat and a girl's minds around, another had encountered a Dark General of some kind.
"RRRARRGHHHH!"
"Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
So here we had a silly looking monster girl chasing around a crowd of high school girls. Well, Bambar was nine feet tall and looked kind of like a horned oni if you added features that would be more in keeping with a stripper or something. Fact was, if it wasn't for her size and a snarling face mask, she wouldn't be able to scare even the high school girls she was chasing. Fairly worthless as a soldier of the Dark Kingdom, hence bait for this Dark Competition.
That he got to watch a skimpily dressed yoma chasing high school girls around, snapping her whip at them. Heaving bosoms. Sweaty limbs. Panting young cute lithe forms.
Jadite smirked as he watched the show. Ah, the joys of being a bad guy.
"RARRRGHHHH!"
"AAAAA! Someone help us!"
"Moon Knight Shuriken!"
THUNKITY THUNK THUNK!
Bambar blinked comically for a moment, then grabbed the injured foot in both hands and started jumping up and down on the other one. "Yeowtch ouch ouch OUCH!"
"Who's there?" asked one of the victims, thinking that being rescued by ninja was certainly unexpected.
"Where badly dressed S&M gals try to molest their victims, I'll be there to take 'em... waitaminute - that doesn't sound right. Oh heck with the speeches. Take this!"
"WAHHHHH! I don't wanna die! I'm just following orders!" cried out Bambar, hobbling away as fast as she could.
The high school girls stood and watched as an odd echo of their previous scene occurred with the monster being chased by some ninja cheerleader.
"Come back here and let me beat on ya!"
"I don't wanna! WAHHHHHHHH!"
Jadite rubbed his forehead. He had known Bambar was pathetic, but apparently he'd underestimated exactly how pathetic Bambar was.
Luna watched in... well she wasn't quite sure what she was feeling. The Dark Kingdom was EVIL. It had to be stopped from destroying the entire world!
Why then did she have the odd impulse of wanting to pull a mallet out of somewhere and slam it into Usagi for picking on the yoma?!
"I'm just a minor minion! Have mercy!"
"Hold still, dangit!"
