Haruka angrily shook the water out of her fur. This wasn't her lucky day. She didn't even manage to catch one single fish.
She mounted her trusty motorcycle and got ready to drive home... that means, to the Chaotix' apartment.
When she suddenly heard the loud crash coming from the beach.
Haruka thought about it. She preferred riding her bike, but she would be faster if she just ran on foot. And she had to get Michiru before she could check it out.
She let the motorbike stand where it was and grumbled: "Don't let anyone steal you, got it?" Then she started running.
Her speed wasn't nearly as formidable as that of the local hero number one, Sonic the Hedgehog, but she was faster than every human she had met up to now. Espio was as fast as her, as they found out in a racing contest.
She reached the apartment block, jumped down into the cellar and looked around. Vector and Charmy were still arguing, but Michiru was conversing with Espio.
Haruka coughed to get Haruka's attention, then gestured towards the door with her head.
Michiru frowned, but put down her glass and got up. "Is something the matter?" Espio asked. Michiru shrugged. "I guess it's important. Haruka always gets cranky if she has to wait for something, so I better see what's up. See you later!"
Espio watched the dolphin as she ran out of the door. Sometimes, those two acted strange...

Sonic dodged a propeller blade as the daimon fired one after another at him. "Too slow, you tin can," he shouted. "Even Big would have dodged that. I would advise trying something else."
Cyclone got angry. "Well, if you insist..." And she let the propeller on her chest spin rapidly. Caught by surprise by the gust of wind, Sonic nearly lost his footing. "Whoa, nice breeze. But a little drafty. I better close the window." And he sped towards the daimon to hit it with a Homing Attack.
Only to be hit with another propeller blade she had hurled at him. She snarled. "Now stay down, you pesky rodent!"
"Hey, hedgehogs are no rodents..." Sonic murmured while trying to get up. The daimon returned her attention to the heart crystal that was floating over Tails' chest.
She grinned. "Your friend's heart seems to be very pure. It will provide us with a remarkable amount of energy."
"No one's... going to steal Tails' heart," the blue hedgehog muttered, before another gust of wind blasted him back to the ground.
"Please, do not disturb me while I'm working," Cyclone said. She turned back to Tails' unmoving body.
"STOP IT RIGHT THERE!" an angry voice yelled.
Cyclone looked up. "Who's there?"
On a balcony of the hotel, five humanoid animals wearing Senshi fukus were standing. The blonde hedgehog that seemed to be their leader pointed at her with a finger. "This little boy's heart is filled with friendship towards his friends. He enjoys working on machines and testing them. And you want to steal his heart? I don't think so! We're the Sailor Senshi and don't like your attitude. I'm Sailor Moon, and in the name of the moon... I'm going to punish you!"
Sonic looked at the five warrior girls. "So, those are the Sailor Senshi they always talk about on TV, huh?" he murmured. "I don't know if they can beat that thing, but they better quit giving such long speeches."
Cyclone snarled. "Damn! Sailor Moon! You won't defeat me as you did with the other daimons!" And she sent several propeller blades at the Senshi.
The furry protectors of the Earth jumped into the air. Two of them let their magic attacks fly at the daimon.
"Fire Soul!"
"Crescent Beam!"
Cyclone managed to dodge the fire attack, but Sailor Venus' beam hit her on the arm, so she had to drop the crystal. It floated to the ground.
Mercury gasped. "I have to get the crystal back," she shouted. "Cover me!"
While the others restrained the daimon, the blue-furred senshi twirled around her tails and flew towards the heart crystal. But before she could grab it, an orange blur zoomed past her and snatched it.
"Wha...?" she said.
Cheetah Uranus hold up the crystal. "I'll be taking that. Just have to check if it's a talisman. Thank you!"
"No," Ami shouted. "If we don't put it back, the boy could die." She was really worried about her brother.
Then, the dolphin of Neptune jumped in front of her. "I'll take care of her, Uranus," she said. "Get the heart crystal away from here, we'll check it later."
Sailor Uranus nodded. "Got it." And she started running.
Sonic growled. "Oh no, you don't." And he ran after her.
Cyclone barely registered the two speedsters getting away with the heart crystal. "No! That's mine!"
"Oh, shut up," Jupiter the Rabbit shouted. "Sparkling Wide Pressure!"
The lightning attack hit the daimon in the chest. Cyclone screamed and let the Chaos Emerald drop to the ground. "Now's your chance, Sailor Moon," Jupiter shouted.
Sailor Moon raised her wand. "MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK!"
Cyclone screamed again as the hearts hit her and turned her body back into a plane. The daimon egg fell to the ground and cracked open. A dark shadow flew out of it and vanished.

The chase between Uranus and Sonic took them through the whole city. By now, they had reached the impressive highway called 'Speed Highway'. Uranus looked back. "World Shaking!" But she wasn't used to attack while running, so she missed the speedy hedgehog entirely.
Sonic smirked while he collected the rings. Those girls seemed to be able to use magics without needing rings, so he was happy that she left more for him. "So you wanna cheat, huh?" he smirked. "Well, I've got just the thing for you... Sonic Wind!"
He used the rings' magic to create a vortex of blue wind that surrounded the cheetah. The good thing of that attack: It almost never missed. Uranus yelled in anger as the hit caused her to drop the heart crystal. It nearly fell of the highway.
But Sonic snatched it in time. "Gotcha!" He skidded to a stop and smirked. "I'd love to race you some more, but I have a heart to deliver. See ya!" And he zoomed back to the coast.
Uranus growled angrily.
