"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle aaallll the waaayyyy..."
"Usagi, shut up already! The people are staring!"
The meatball-headed blonde, Usagi Tsukino, grinned sheepishly at her friend, Rei Hino. "Sorry, Rei-chan... it's just that I'm looking forward to Christmas." Her eyes sparkled in excitement. "I can't wait to see if Mom and Dad will buy me the newest Sailor V game."
"I'm surprised that you don't believe in Santa Claus anymore..." Chibiusa said with a frown.
"Of course I do, spore," Usagi grumbled. "But Santa Claus is sooo busy every Christmas season, I doubt he can visit every single person in Japan... That's why I asked Mom to buy me the game."
Luna was walking next to the three girls, her paws sinking into the soft snow. She sweat-dropped. "You never change, do you, Usagi?"
Suddenly, both Rei's and Usagi's Sailor communicators started beeping.
They looked at each other, then Usagi pulled out hers and answered. "Yes?"
It was Hotaru Tomoe, youngest member of the Sailor Senshi. "Usagi-chan... could you please come to my father's house? Something awful happened."
Rei leaned in next to her blonde friend. "Is it Senshi business?" she whispered, so no one would be able to hear her.
The small Senshi of destruction nodded. "I already called Minako, Ami and Makoto... could you please come as quick as possible? I'll tell you everything once you get there."
----
In the nice house of Professor Tomoe, all the other Senshi had already gathered when Usagi and Rei arrived.
The Professor smiled at them. "Good to see you again. I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but this morning, I had a flash of memory from the being that had possessed me, Germatoid."
"It must be something really important if you're calling us all because of that memory," Makoto pondered.
Tomoe nodded. "Yes... I'm afraid that while you managed to defeat all of the death-busters, there still had been some daimon eggs left that were hidden underneath Mugen academy."
"I already figured something like this..." Haruka groaned. "So, we have to go there and smash them up, right?"
"But wait a minute," Ami said. "I doubt that you would've gathered us all if it would be that simple, correct? I mean, those daimon eggs usually need someone to give them some kind of 'instructions', do they?"
Tomoe looked uncomfortable. "I'm afraid Germatoid installed some sort of automatic activation device that made the eggs merge with several living beings once activated... He made it in case he would be defeated some day."
"Did you say 'living beings?" Minako asked. "I thought those guys only possess lifeless things..."
"Well, those daimons seem to be different from the ones we usually fought," Setsuna explained. "They managed to merge with several animals in the Tokyo zoo tonight." She held up a newspaper. "It's all in the news: A thief who was going to rob the zoo director's office had been caught, and he ran into several of those animal-daimons."
Tomoe scratched his head. "Well, actually... he surrendered himself to the police... and the strange thing was, he somehow acted like a duck. He could still think like a normal human being and was able to head to the nearest police station, but all the time, he was quacking and flapping his arms like wings."
"Those transformed animals have some strange new powers from the daimon eggs," Setsuna said. "But as Pharaoh 90 is destroyed, they are not evil. So please, attack them if you must, but do not destroy them. We'll try to catch them all and bring them here, to find a way to turn them back."
"Sounds almost like a Pokémon game," Minako grinned. "Gotta snatch'em all!"
Artemis sweat-dropped. "That means: Gotta CATCH'em all, Minako..."
"Those poor animals..." Chibiusa said. "They must be really confused..."
"Well, whatever they might think of their new situation, with their new abilities, they're definitely a threat to the city," Rei said. "They probably won't like it, but we have to get them."
"It's probably the best if we split up in several groups to search for them," Setsuna said. She handed everyone a sheet of paper. "The Professor and I have prepared a list with all of the daimons and their powers... also which animals from the zoo escaped. We don't know which one of them has been possessed by which daimon, but we should be able to find them pretty easily."
Michiru grinned and grabbed Haruka's arm. "I'll go with Haruka."
Makoto grinned. "Why am I not surprised?"
"I know!" Usagi grinned. "I'll ask Mamoru if he wants to help as well."
"I-I'm coming, too!" Chibiusa quickly said.
----
Several hours later, the various Senshi troops were already searching through the city.
Mamoru checked the list. "Well, won't this be fun..." he grumbled. "The first daimon on the list has the ability to fly and create supersonic blasts..."
Usagi peered over his shoulder. Chibiusa jumped up next to them, but couldn't see anything. "Hey, I wanna see too!"
Usagi sweat-dropped. "She likes to drink sake and other alcoholic beverages?"
Mamoru shrugged. "Well, I guess everyone has his flaws..."
