"Senbei no like this plan. Senbei think uniforms not have enough empty space to hide in and Senbei got sidelined LAST time Senbei met Senshi. Senbei no like this game at all."
Chihiro started up her motorbike, thinking over this odd impulse. And where had this strange pen come from?
Before setting out, the motorcycle otaku took a look at it again, turning it over in her hands. Odd metal, light but apparently scratch resistant. The little stylized lightning bolt symbol was odd too.
Oh well.
She couldn't resist: kids, pets, cute motorcycles. And now cute pens it seemed.
Chihiro put the odd pen away and began driving. If anything would clear her head, this would.
The 20 year old watched the buildings zip past for a few minutes, losing herself momentarily in the flow. The scenery was familiar enough. There was the bakery that made those cinnamon twists. There was the turnoff heading over to Keiichi's place. There was the Starbucks. There was the giant panda ripping the roof off and trying to get at the snacks inside. There was the laundromat. There was...
Chihiro pulled her motorcycle off to the side, slowly undid her helmet, and slowly looked back towards the Starbucks.
x people running amuck
x fifty foot panda eating a Starbucks
xscreaming manager of a store being tossed down the gullet of said panda
x panda pulling out a big sign to swat at approaching helicopters.
The panda sniffed in the air and started walking towards the bakery.
"A publicity stunt?" Chihiro asked, trying to convince herself.
"Quick, you have to turn into Sailor Jupiter!"
Chihiro looked right. She looked left. She looked up. She looked down. She stared at the little cat. "..."
"Preferably before you get eaten," said the cat, "or have you noticed that a giant panda is coming after you?"
Chihiro slowly looked back. Giant panda approaching at high speed. Hmmm. What's the proper thing to say in a situation like this? Ah, that should do it. "EEEEEKKKK!!!"
A clawed hand grabbed her motorcycle and popped it into the enormous mouth, with crunching noises as the beast masticated it. The sign he held up now read [I need more iron in my diet.]
"Are you ready to transform yet?" asked the sprinting cat.
"What did you say I had to do?" Chihiro asked the cat while running.
"Hold your pen over your head and say the command phrase," said the cat.
Chihiro pulled it out, frightened and more than a little angry, "Jupiter Power, Make UP!"
Crackle Boom!
Chihiro stood, changed by the bolt of lightning. Now wearing a green sailor seifuku, she seemed momentarily stunned.Jupiter - Power
Uranus- Stamina
Poseidon - Strength
Ishtar - Martial Prowess
Thoth - Knowledge
Eagle - Courage
Raideen - Speed
Long enough for a panda to grab her.
"EEK! PERVERT!"
The panda looked rather startled as the girl began throwing him around like a wad of pizza dough getting ready for the pan.
Crunch wham thud smash bang ka-powie
The panda shrank from fifty foot to closer to seven feet in height. Though the lump on his head was at least an additional six inches and a substantial amount of black and blue had been added to black and white. His sign now read: [Ouch].
"The knowledge of Thoth tells me that I can find answers at Keiichi's place," mused Sailor Jupiter from a rooftop as the Tokyo Zoo van came by to collect the unconscious panda.
