Although lunch didn’t qualify as a class it was Ranma’s favourite part of school. That would make gym his official favourite class. Well, it would be if it weren’t so easy for him. Regardless of all this he followed the blonde girl as she waved at a few other girls. “Ami, Mina, Mako!” she called out drawing the girls’ attention to herself and her companion.
‘Strange,’ Ami thought to herself. ‘Now that I look at him he seems familiar. Maybe I saw him in a magazine article or something.’
‘He’s cute,’ Mako thought to herself. ‘But it’s like I know him from somewhere... Maybe he used to go to school with me or something.’
‘Grade A hottie!’ Mina thought to herself. ‘But I keep thinking I saw him somewhere... Maybe he got victimized when I was Sailor V or something... Oh well.’
“Ranma, these are my friends. Ami, Minako and Makoto,” Usagi said as she sat down.
“Nice to meet you all,” Ranma replied as he sat down.
“Same here. So, what’s Nerima like?
Ranma opened him bento and thought for a moment before speaking. “Well let’s start off with the school, and Principle Kuno...”

If there was one downfall to being a large, round robot it was the fact that stealth wasn’t something you were good at by nature. He was heavy, and while he could fight well his stocky build wasn’t meant for speed or agility.
That said, Jugger congratulated himself on hiding in the alley across from the Crown Arcade. It was so amazingly simple, only thugs and lowlifes frequented alleys like this, and his dark colouring let him blend in. His camera-like eye spun slightly as he zoomed in on a blonde haired male.
“Potential target found. Scanning. Possibility of being the Prince, moderate. Initiating soul stealer protocol,” Jugger said to himself as he started forwards, out of the alley, ignoring the shouts of various onlookers as he stomped across the sidewalk onto the road. A car barred towards him, which he backhanded away into a crowd of people who scattered. Screams shot up as people stampeded away from the area, just as Jugger entered the door.
===
“Wow, what an... interesting guy,” Usagi said as she, Ami, Mako and Mina walked down to the arcade. “Still, it was cool hanging around an urban legend, huh?”
“Come on Usagi,” Mina said as she shook her head. “Remember, we ARE urban legends here.”
“Yeah, but still...”
“Guys! Something’s wrong here!” Mako shouted out as she pointed. The other girls turned to look as well to see a car with half of it’s front end smashed in and where it slammed against a wall.
“Guys, we should transform and take a look,” Usagi said as she led the other girls into an alley.
“I’ll call the others!” Ami shouted out as she grabbed her communicator.

“Let me go you... you...!” Motoki shouted out as he struggled, trying to escape Jugger’s grasp as the robot walked out of the arcade. Jugger’s eye turned as it looked at the human held in it’s left hand before holding up it’s right. The hand crackled with black electricity before it shot out into Motoki, pulling a glowing white ball from his chest. The rotund robot dropped the soulless body and looked at the ball in his hand.
“Scanning. Analysis indicates this soul is not the reincarnated Moon Prince. Preparing to delete soul.”
“Hold it right there!” a female voice called out. Jugger’s body turned, turning upwards to look at the five gathered silhouettes. “Stealing souls is a crime that we will not allow! And take the safety of our city very seriously! I am Sailor Moon!”
“Sailor Mercury!”
“Sailor Mars!”
“Sailor Venus!”
“Sailor Jupiter!”
“And in the name of the moon...” The first one began.
“We will punish you!” They finished together.
“Scanning. Sailor Senshi. Analysis indicates annoying little girls,” Jugger said as his eye turned and twisted.
“Annoying little girls!?” Mars shouted out. Oh was she glad she was nearby now...
“Jugger and the Bolt Guard are handsome... strong... cunning... Processing power... twelve giga-hertz and climbing. Sailor Senshi’s... A jar of mayonnaise.”
“We’ll see about that!” Sailor Moon shouted out, levelling her weapon at the robot. “You’re about to be dusted!”
Jugger’s eye twirled again before holding up the soul. “Jugger has no time for jars of mayonnaise. Will use soul to delete annoying Senshi.” And with that Jugger turned about and threw the soul into the arcade, before becoming engulfed in black flames and vanishing.
“We have to get that soul back!” Sailor Moon shouted out as she and scouts leapt down to the pavement, running to the arcade. Then they stopped as something leapt through the glass window and landed in front of them. “You gotta be joking me... We can’t fight that...”
“Why not Meatball Head?” Mars shouted out.
“Because...” Moon began. “It’s my favourite game.” The ground shook slightly as four scouts did a face fault simultaneously.
It had arms, legs and a schoolgirls skirt around it’s torso. And it’s torso had the image of Sailor V on the side of it.
The transformed arcade game adjusted the mask on it’s screen before posing with an arm in the air. “For the Bolt Guard I will destroy the annoying Sailor Moon! Codename: Sailor V! The Solider of Justice! I am the Sailor-Suited Beautiful Solider... Sailor Venus!”
“I can’t believe I used to say all that at once...” the actual Sailor Venus said.
“According my readings...” Sailor Mercury said as she tapped at her computer. “If we can defeat this... thing Motoki’s soul will go back to his body.
