The next day, all Senshi were coming to the Outer's home in Juuban.
Michiru smiled as she welcomed their guests. "How nice to see so many new Senshi that are willing to help us in our cause," she said with a smile.
Haruka looked critically at Ranma. "You're a Senshi? Strange, you don't look like a girl to me..."
Ranma chuckled. "Well, I turn into a girl with cold water..."
"It's true, I've seen it with my own eyes," Ami said. "Unbelievable, isn't it?"
Haruka wasn't happy that one of the new Senshi was originally a BOY, but she accepted him after a quiet scolding of Michiru.
Hotaru seemed a little disappointed, because she hoped that one of the new Senshi would be her age, but when she realized how nice everyone was (especially Kasumi), she didn't worry anymore.
They sat all down. "So, what do you all know about the Zodiac Senshi?" Nabiki asked Setsuna, a little too directly for Akane's and Kasumi's tastes.
Setsuna sipped at her tea (she complimented Kasumi who brought some along from home) and finally said: "When I looked into the future, I could see glimpses of Senshi I didn't see before... Only when I looked at some ancient texts I still have from the Silver Millennium, I remembered the Zodiac Senshi from that time... and Sting as well.
After doing some research, I managed to track down most of the amulets of the Zodiac Senshi. Following their trail though the Gates of Time, I was able to determine most of their current whereabouts. I told Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru of them, and they agreed to come with me to Brazil, where we wanted to find the first amulet... and that's really all we know." She picked up a piece of paper. "This is the list of the places where we should be able to find the other amulets. But I'm afraid that's all I can offer."
"Well, that's not too bad," Rei commented. "Using this list, we can track down the remaining amulets... even if we still don't know who the other Senshi are..."
"We know the identity of one," Ranma suddenly spoke up. "Azusa Shiratori!"
Akane and her sisters gasped. "Azusa? Of all people, that little kleptomaniac is supposed to be a Senshi? Why do you believe that, Ranma?"
"Think about it, Akane," Ranma said. "Remember how she acted... I heard her calling that artist's little statue 'Angelique'. If that doesn't sound like Azusa..."
"You're right, Ranchan," Ukyo said in surprise. "But why didn't we recognize her earlier?"
"Disguise magic," Ami explained. "As long as we are transformed, no one will recognize us, even our closest friends and family won't. Only those people that know it's us or that saw our transformation can see through the disguise."
"So she probably doesn't know it was us she fought at the airport," Nabiki assumed.
Makoto snorted. "Fight? That was a dirty trick, nothing else! She made us demolish those police cars..."
"I still don't understand why Sailor Capricorn would do something like this." Sting wondered. "Normally, the reincarnated Senshi are people that are similar to their pre-incarnation counterparts. And this 'Azusa' you just described doesn't fit Capricorn's personality at all."
"Perhaps those Youmas are controlling her somehow," Artemis pondered.
"Might be, but Azusa has always been like this, as far as I know," Nabiki explained. "Well, not as bad as recently, if it's really her... She just stole whatever she found on the ground or what someone she was passing by was carrying. But... stealing from a famous artist? And I read in the newspaper that she even tried to rob a bank. That's hardly her style... Also, I wonder how she got the Capricorn Amulet."
"It's assumable that she found it - or received it - when we were on our trips around the world," Minako guessed. "But that leaves the question: What are we going to do about her?"
"We somehow have to catch her," Usagi said in a determined voice. "She gives us Sailor Senshi a bad name. Also, stealing is bad!"
"Perhaps we can trick her somehow," Akane murmured. "She always had a simple mind..."
Ranma grinned. "How about using her dear 'Charlotte' as a bait?" He snickered.
Akane whapped him on his head. "Ranma, keep P-chan out of this! Besides, I don't really know where he is... I didn't see him the last days..."
"Who's P-chan?" Makoto wondered.
Kasumi smiled. "Oh, he's Akane's little pet piglet. He's black, small and always has a spotted bandana around his neck."
Hotaru imagined it and smiled. "How cute!"
Nabiki frowned. "Yeah, and he's actually a guy that always gets los..."
"AAAAAAAAAAHHH... That's not important now, is it?" Ranma said quickly. "Um, Ami, do you have an idea how we could trick Azusa?"
The girl genius thought about that. "Hmmmm..."
"Yeeeeeees?" everyone asked.
"Well, we have to make sure not to be tricked by her illusions anymore. Don't shoot just wildly if you see something threatening... you could hurt someone! Perhaps I can use my visor to track her down..."
Michiru smiled. "Yes, or I can try my mirror."
"We also have to be quick if we want to catch her," Ukyo pointed out. "She's darn fast on those rollerblades..."
Michiru smirked. "Ah, don't worry! I think I know someone that should be able to keep up with her." She looked at that person's face.
Haruka grinned.
