"He seemed genuinely concerned, but he's probably got other motives than our best interest at heart," Setsuna observed as the vehicle flittered over the horizon. "Still, it won't do any harm to take precautions."
"Bah," Haruka snorted in contempt, "I don't know about the inners, but we can handle anything normals can throw at us."
"Hey, we're sailor senshi too," protested Makoto. "We've been getting on just fine without you outers!"
"I don't know about that," worried Ami, "we're talking about assassins. Our usual methods won't protect us against snipers. It's not like they're going to burst through a window and anounce themselves."
This was the cue for five men wearing black beloclavas to rapel through the Mizuno's appartment window. The men winched the grappeling ropes back into their enormous switz army knives, then switched them over to machine gun, grenade launcher, flame thrower, unbrella and sword attachments.
"James," the sword bearer growled. "What the heck is that going to do?"
"Terribly sorry, Old Chap," James appologied. "I meant to use the bazooka mode, not the jolly brolly."
"That's why I wanted only switz nationals on this assigment," the machine gunner swore.
"Why is the Switz army attacking us anyway?" Rei demanded. "I thought you were neutral!"
"You just can't trust those darn neutrals," Haruka swore. "At least you know where you stand with an enemy? But neutrals?"
"No, no, we are international criminals, dear lady," James appologised.
"Our actions in no way reflect the policies of the Switz government," the sword bearer agreed.
"That's what they all say," Haruka growled.
"No, really," insisted James. "We're all industrial spies. But thanks to your fumbling ineptitued we'll soon be out of a job."
"Whatever. Alright, if it's a fight you want, we're ready to rumble."
"Er no, we're not, Haruka papa!" Hotaru reminded her. "They've got guns and swords and umbrellas and stuff."
"Doesn't matter," Haruka insisted. "They won't stand up against a Space Sword - oh blast!"
"That's right," the grenadier smirked as he lifted the barrel of his bigarse army knife. "You're not dressed for the occassion, are you? And if you think we're going to stand around gawking while you pull off a magical transformation or something, guess again."
"Dreadfully sorry about this, girls," James appologied as he aimed his umbrella, "but a job's a job, you know."
"Not so fast!" interupted...
