"Earl Grey with a touch of lemon," agreed Sif. "Belldandy is quite fond of tea, and so I asked her if she could spare a moment to fix us up a quick pot."
"Lovely. Now I'm afraid we must get on to business," said the lead knight.
"Oh must we? It's such a nice day and I was planning on whipping up some biscuits," complained Sif.
"Well, I'm afraid we must," said one of the knights. "Terribly sorry ma'am, but we are villains."
"Yes, and we are the heroes, I suppose - though the whole thing wasn't exactly planned by our part," admitted Sif. "You seem very nice for villains though - not at all the sort to go sucking souls or life energy or some such."
"True. Our summoner was Mara of the Infernal Dispatch though - so off we must go," admitted the lead knight.
"So, uhm, who are you guys anyway?" Sailor Jupiter/Chihiro asked.
"We are the Knights Who Go Deep!" declared the lead knight.
"Deep! Deep! Deep!" declared the other knights.
"Bragging a bit are you?" said Megumi/Sailor Mercury.
The lead knight shook his helmet. "No, actually that's our name, it was a muddled bit of summoning, I'm afraid."
"So why do you have to attack us?" Sif asked. "I mean, it isn't a nice thing to do - assisting demons in their work."
The lead knight blew into a whistle. "On the count of three?"
ALL: Oh a minion's life is not a happy one.
LEAD: When a minion's not engaged in his employment.
ALL: His employment.
LEAD: Or engaged in Master's dirty little plans.
ALL: little plans.
LEAD: Their capacity for innocent enjoyment.
ALL: 'cent enjoyment

ALL: to be done.
LEAD: Ah, taking all considerations together,

LEAD: Well, a minion's lot is not a happy one.
ALL: When a minion's duty's to be done, to be done
Then a minion's lot is not a happy one. Happy one.
Chihiro/Sailor Jupiter turned to Sif. "You know, the minions never do a musical number in the manga. Much less Gilbert & Sullivan."
"I'm sorta impressed they can do all that in that armor," confided Sif. "Never thought you could tap dance in full plate."
LEAD: When the enterprising demons not a demoning
ALL: Not a demon-ing
LEAD: When the youma isn't out a-harvesting
ALL: harvesting.
LEAD: They love to play with karaoke
ALL: karaoke

ALL: sort of thing

ALL: or her mischief
LEAD: He's sit back and watches telly in the wings.
ALL: in the wings.
LEAD: Ah, taking all considerations together
ALL all together
LEAD: A minion's life is not a happy one.
"Got that?" Chihiro asked Megumi.
"Somewhere where there's arcades, karaoke, and a place someone can watch TV, got it," said Megumi.
"Do we attack them now?" Chihiro asked Sif.
"Wait till they finish. I've never seen someone in armor do cartwheels and acrobatic flips before," said Sif.
