Michiru didn't respond, only staring at the dazed young girl with two tranq darts sticking out of her torso. It would take a lot more than that to keep a Sandman down for very long, and Wheeler guessed it would be less than a minute before this one was combat ready again.
Unfortunately for Wheeler, Setsuna had already recovered, a fact he became aware of as a crushing pressure was felt on his shoulder. Before he could even react, the combat specialist was flung more than a dozen feet from the vehicle to land, skidding across the asphalt. Trying to prop himself up, he cursed as a lance of pain shot through his right arm on the slightest pressure. No doubt about it, she'd broken his collarbone.
Looking up, he saw that Setsuna was leaning into the car, and knew that the girl in there wouldn't stand a chance between the two Sandmen, and Wheeler was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to do much good from his current position with his shooting arm incapacitated and the severe amount of pain he was in.
Suddenly there was a loud cry of "Neptune Planet Power, Make UP!" and an almost blinding greenish light blasted out of the car for a few seconds. This was almost immediately followed by a yell of "Deep Submerge!"
Wheeler could only look on in awe as the side of the car was blown apart, and a glowing ball of energy blasted Setsuna even further than he had been thrown. Luckily for Wheeler, the attack was angled upwards, and so flew over his head, giving him a nice view as the Sandman rocketed into the second storey of the Juuban Hilton.
Setsuna hung their, mostly embedded in the crater she had made in the wall, for a few seconds before dissolving into a fine grey sand.
"I believe the term the Princess used is 'Moon Dusted'."
Returning his attention to the wrecked vehicle, Wheeler saw a girl in an abbreviated sailor suit stepping out. While Wheeler knew she had to be the green haired girl, for some reason she just seemed... fundamentally different.
"Invited by a New Age, I am the elegant Sailor Neptune, and I will not forgive a youma who impersonates my friends!"
She thinks that was an imposter...? Wheeler though, feeling a bit of pity for how the girl would react to the truth. But it was still for the best... the Sandman change was completely irreversable.
There was further movement from inside the car, and Wheeler could see the younger girl starting to stir...
