Gluttony had been defeated and was now at the panda exhibit of the Tokyo Zoo. He kept trying to get people's attention, which was interpreted usually as attacks or spasms of some kind, and so he was being stuck with really large gauge needles and being poked and prodded and sedated a lot. There was talk about sending him to a special Panda Research Center that had opened up in Russia but nothing had been done yet.
She had captured some of the other Deadly Sins fairly easily. Greed was good to go. Maybe she could use Pride or Hatred instead. Decisions, decisions.
Getting drunk would not stop the Senshi. Now Sailor Mars had been joined by Sailor Mercury, Tuxedo Kamen, and Sailor Jupiter.
Which meant that somewhere out there was Sailor Moon and these Senshi had to be stopped before they could find her!
"Senbei! We know where they'll be," said Mara. "Or at least where Sailor Mars is."
"The shrine. Yet you attack them there - they have goddesses back them up and that little robot shooting wards and that doggie!" Senbei shuddered. The "doggie" scared him. He was a bottle imp. That was a shikigami. Sailor Mars could banish him back to the infernal planes. That shikigami could eat him. Poof. No more Senbei. "Senbei no like this idea."
"Don't be such a baby," said Mara to her imp.
"Not a baby. Not stupid. Not expendable. No going."
"Well, I have this for just such an emergency," said Mara, going to a table and pulling out a box.
"Those are dragon teeth? Where did you get dragon teeth?" Senbei asked.
"England, I ran across them a couple of decades ago in some BBC warehouse. How they'd gotten them I don't know but I followed the magical trail to them." Mara said as she went outside to a small garden and began planting the teeth. Two incisors, a pair of bicuspids, and three molars - not that this mattered in the slightest.
"Powers of darkness, powers of strife,
Come ye forth, give my monsters life!"
"That sound like something out of sentai series," commented Senbei.
"When in Rome," replied Mara as she watched the earth bulge and shift and armored forms pushed their way forward.
"They look like Knights of the Round Table," commented Senbei.
Ta-da-da-da-da-daaaaa!
"We're Knights of the Round Gable,
We dance when'er we're able,
We do routines,
We steal the scenes,
We put food on the table!"
Mara twitched, looking most unhappy.
"We dine well here in Camelot,
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot!"
Mara slumped as the armored knights danced and stomped around the garden. "Don't tell me it was from that program." Though the words seemed off somehow.
"We're Knights Of The Round Gable,
Our jokes are all disabled!"
"That not how song goes," insisted Senbei, who'd once been tortured by having to watch the group in question.
"All sorts of times,
We seek some rhymes,
but just don't seem able.
But down here in Camelot
we sing from the diaphragm a lotttttt!"
Mara's shoulders slumped and she retreated towards her lair. "Why me? I'm a bad demon. I attend seminars on being properly evil..."
"Though we're tough and able!
From some twisted fable!
It's a bit too loud in Camelot,
cause we like to play the ham a lot!"
Mara stopped and regarded the dancing knights. "Go find the Senshi and destroy them!"
Linking arms and line dancing out the gate, the Dragon Knights sought their foe.
"We're off to smite the foe,
And deal them lots of woe!
With song and dance,
We freely prance,
We'll beat them if we're able!"
"Maybe they'll at least annoy the Senshi," Mara said hopefully as she watched her new "troops" hit the street and trip over their own feet.
