"I thought you said you detected an enemy," Sailor Moon asked Sailor Mercury. "This is a candy factory."
"That it is," said an unfamiliar voice.
The various color coded defenders of love and justice looked around.
"Where are you? Who are you?" Sailor Jupiter held herself ready. This wasn't the usual daimon. They usually operated right out in the open and were quite obvious.
"I am the Candyman! And as for the where, I am HERE!" With that the fellow in an oddly colorful uniform stepped out from between two vats and began shooting.
"EEP!" Sailor Moon managed just before she was hit.
The remaining Senshi gasped. Sailor Moon had just been turned to solid chocolate right before their eyes!
"She'll be very popular come Easter," said the Candyman as he lined up his next shot.
"Don't use flame attacks," Mercury warned Mars. "The heat might melt Sailor Moon." "Waaaah!" said the chocolate bunny, clearly not happy about being solid chocolate.
"Then what am I supposed to EEEK!" Mars broke off her protest as she was hit by the next blast.
"Interesting," said Mercury. "You appear to be composed of milk chocolate and caramel. In short, a Mars bar."
"I couldn't resist," admitted the Candyman as he ducked behind a vat.
"HAH! I've got you now," said Sailor Uranus. "World Shaking!"
The Candyman reversed direction with an evil chortle.
WHANG! went the golden ball of energy as it penetrated the thick plating on the #2 Vat.
Glooop! came the stream of hot gooey caramel as it gushed out.
"I'm going to kill him. Dead dead de-glub glub!" announced Sailor Uranus as she was abruptly swept off her feet by the flood of hot goo.
"URANUS!" Neptune cried out on seeing her lover submerged beneath a stream. "I'll get you out. Deep Submerge!" The water attack began cutting into the caramel tomb of her partner.
"Gotcha!" Candyman announced as he lobbed a grenade at Neptune.
"Deep Submerge!" Neptune parried the missile with another water attack.
Schlumpf! went the grenade, sending a glop to completely engulf Neptune in...
"Salt water taffy," said Mercury as she analyzed it.
"Four down, who's next?" Candyman asked as he slapped a new charge into his weapon.
"dead scream" "Love and Beauty Shock!" "Oak Evolution!"
The Candyman went down, literally collapsing in his tracks with his odd weapon firing one more shot into the ceiling .
"He didn't dissolve into dust, he just fell down," said Venus as if puzzled.
"He appears to be more along the lines of a Western supervillain, though the attack was similar to some youma attacks," said Mercury.
"Uhm, Uranus-papa?" Sailor Saturn asked the large lump of caramel that had gotten up after Neptune's attack had partially washed away the goo.
"Where is he? I can't see where he is to kick his sorry ass," came a mumbled response from the lump as it moved around.
Mercury turned her attention to the large glob of salt water taffy that had a vague resemblence to Sailor Neptune. "These attacks aren't going away after his defeat either. Possibly because they were device-driven and not an innate power of the Candyman."
"So what do we do now?" asked the chocolate Sailor Moon as she gestured towards Sailor Mars Bar.
