"WHAT'S THAT?!" exclaimed Sailor Venus as she dodged a pink projectile herself.
"Analyzing," said Sailor Mercury. "Crystalline chain of monosaccharide with traces of bixin... what?"
"What what? Is it dangerous?" asked Sailor Venus, looking at where the now-sinister projectile had spattered against a building.
"It's 'cotton candy,'" said Sailor Mercury, twitching just a little bit.
"That's magical and entraps the target in sticky fibers, right?" asked Sailor Jupiter, her tone a little hopeful.
"No, it's apparently magically conjured but otherwise normal," said Sailor Mercury, leaning just a little to the side to avoid getting hit by another little pink cloud.
"WAHHHHH!" said the cotton-candy-hurling member of Morning Musume.
"That is so incredibly pathetic as a magical attack that I'm having trouble targetting her," said Sailor Jupiter.

"He's found the weak point," pointed out Sailor Mercury. "Aim for that bundle of fibers on the chest."
"Status?"
"The glowing dot split off from the gate nine minutes ago, travelling at a speed of roughly Mach 3. It passed through several buildings and personnel without any notable effect," the scientist brought up a set of pictures of the still travelling dot.
"It's bigger and more disc shaped now," pointed out the General.
"It's also losing speed as it goes," said the scientist. "We're computing where and when it will come to a stop now."
"Any ideas?" asked the General. "What IS it?"
"Initial findings all agree," said the scientist, pointing at the picture, "that's a SECONDARY Gate. We're not in complete agreement, but since the energy fluctuations of the first Gate have stabilized a little when that was ejected, we think it likely that the main Gate will throw out three more of these until it completely stabilizes."
The General winced. "That thing's leaving Japan, isn't it?"
"At current speed, yes," said the scientist, listening to his headset for a minute. "Rate of slowing seems to remain constant. Okay, we estimate this second Gate will come to rest:"
