First off, Sailor Jupiter was now Sailor Moon who was now calling herself Moon Knight and looked more like she stepped off a videogame like Street Kombat II: Arena Fighter.
Second, she'd just kicked a Dark General between the goalposts. That was wrong. Gratifying on a certain level, perhaps, but it simply was NOT done.
Third, she'd just rescued a yoma and was recruiting her.
VERY VERY WRONG.
"I hope Artemis is having better luck," griped Luna.
"Hmmmm," hmmmed Usagi, thinking.
"Sailor Moon," began a voice from under a bush.
"Hey, k-kitty?" asked Usagi, recognizing the voice.
"It's Luna. Luna. Lu-na."
"Right, Lou-ni. There any 'turn yoma human' gadgets ya got?" Ranma asked, jerking a thumb at the nine foot tall, horned, overly curvaceous, version of Akane's friend Sayuri who was currently looking puzzled.
There was a long suffering sigh from under the bush. "Well, there's your disguise pen."
"Ya mean you got all that stuff, but I gotta give up disguises for this?" pressed Usagi.
"I don't think... wait a minute," said Luna. Hadn't there been something? Masquerades? Costume parties?
"Ya got something?" said Usagi, winking at Bambar.
Luna stepped a short distance away. crouch triple-backflip-handstand twinge. "Ow! Oh my back!"
"That didn't sound too good," said Usagi, taking something out of her shuriken pouch. "Hey Bambar, find out where she hurts and rub some'a this in."
"WHAT?"
"It's just an herbal muscle rub I found, doesn't stink too much," said Usagi. "Didn't wanna have a lot of questions about why I smelled like 'tiger balm' or something."
"Oh," said Luna, eyeing the huge yoma making her way over with a little jar of something.
"I been working out a lot lately," admitted Usagi. "Some'a the muscle groups ain't used to operating at that level."
"I can see where that would be the case," admitted Luna. "Not so hard! Down a little. Oh. Yeah. Right there. Oooooooooooo."
Usagi waited a few minutes, impatience making her pace around. Not so much that she'd see the little c-c-c furry thing.
"These pendants were used by royal children in the Silver Millenium to play hide and seek and as training in magical abilities," said a still distrustful Luna. She still thought this a BAD idea, but it was obvious that until more Senshi could be found - she was going to have her hands full dealing with 'Moon Knight' here.
"So I put it on and then what?" asked Bambar.
"Try this activation phrase. 'Moon Glowing Bright, Hide In Plain Sight.'"
"Ya gotta be kidding me," said Usagi, listening in.
Luna snorted. "It was a children's toy."
"Good point," said Usagi, thinking it over.
"Moon glowing bright," said Bambar, touching the pendant. "Hide In Plain Sight."
Fwoooph!
"EEEK! I'm small!"
"You look perfectly normal," said Luna, thinking this was a 100% improvement. "Now you won't cause people to go running in panic."
"Oh, that might be nice," admitted Bambar.
When Bambar came out of the bushes, Usagi nodded. School uniform was different, but it was definitely Sayuri. Except that she had a better figure than Shampoo. Hmmmm. "Well, 'Bambar' ain't exactly a normal name around here. So how about I call ya 'Sayuri' - that's a fairly normal name."
"Thank the Crystal she didn't go with 'Bambi'," said a feline voice under the shrubbery.
"Okayyyy, 'Sayuri'," sounded out Bambar. "So I'm gonna be a spy or something?"
"Sorta," said Usagi, thinking that sounded like it might be doable. "What I want ya to do is this-"
Luna's eyes widened as she heard the plan. That... didn't sound that bad an idea. She didn't really trust this yoma, but even she had to admit that the yoma had been fairly pathetic. Maybe.
