Chapter 8: Wise Endings

 

            It was a few days after the dating accident, and Garina had prompted Misty to shut down her web site to prevent more dangerous accidents from occurring. After all, the next time, it might not be a senshi who got a date with a dark kingdom creature.

            Misty protested though, she got paid next to zip for being a gym leader and she needed the revenue the site generated.

            Finally, they agreed to have one person keep an eye on each couple. Needless to say, with four people, their forces were spread very thinly over the area.

            Lance put down his binoculars, sighing as he watched three couples in the same park. “At least I’m getting 15% of the money each person pays…”

            That thought was not very cheering though, as it was practically hailing. One wonders why there were people in the park at all.

            Lance sighed, surrounded himself with a shield of dragon magic, and continued his observations, stopping when the advances became too intimate to view.

           

            Ashline ran into the nearest restroom, before bolting the door shut and holding up her locket. “Moon Prism Power!”

            “Just had to be my luck that one of my couples got attacked.” She griped as she put on the white mask that came with the fuku, before jumping out the window to land in a tree, somewhat gracefully, in front of the youma.

            “I am Sailor Eevee!” She declared, albeit sarcastically. “Moonlight Flash!”

            Both the girl and her monster date fell asleep. Ashline then used her boomerang to finish off the monster, before detransforming in a convenient bush, winding up with scrapes all over her arms, and then running back to survey her other couple.

 

            “You know, I think I’m in trouble…” Garina muttered to no one in particular as she watched four couples in a public pool.

            True, nothing bad was happening, but the screams coming from the nearby sidewalk might indicate something had happened.

            Sighing, Garina pulled out her binoculars and sure enough, saw what looked like an insane dentist chasing a mob of preschoolers.

            “I hate this job…”

            She transformed in broad daylight, knowing that nobody could see her and any flashes would be misinterpreted as a camera, before running after the monster. “Come back here!”

            A few silence blasts later, she finally got the monster’s unwanted attention and was now running through the park with it chasing her. Pulling out her cell phone, she suddenly noticed that it was out of batteries.

            A streak of cursing that I shall not type here followed.

           

            Fortunately, Winfield showed up at that time.

            “Hey! Hentai Umbreon! Could you help?” Garina yelled, as the monster got close enough in rage to start actually hitting her with syringes. “Yeow! That hurts!”

            “Use your second move!”

            “What second move?!” Garina demanded as she Silence Blasted it again.

            “It’s a shield!”

            “A shield?” Garina jumped up to avoid another flurry of syringes, and shrugged. “Nothing to lose. Moonlit Darkness!”

            In the sky, the moon temporarily shone darkly, once, and then Sailor Umbreon found her protected by a dome of black energy.

            “Hey, pretty cool.” She said. “But I still need Ashline to finish this off.”

            Winfield bounded off to find the missing senshi.

 

            Elsewhere, Misty was in room, at her computer, evaluating more matches.

            “No, not good enough percentage match… seventy percent is cutting it a little close.”

            She refreshed the results page to see if there were any new submissions to consider.

            “No? Oh well, break time then.” Misty downed a bottle of spring water and then went to take a long, hot shower to stretch out.

 

            Winfield found Ashline half an hour later, still busy watching her couples.

            “Garina needs your help!”

            Ashline sighed, transformed again, and went to find the monster. Soon enough, all that remained was a pile of Moondust.

            “No use. We have to shut down Misty’s operation forcefully.” Lance said, as he joined them. “All of them were monsters, can you believe it? Dragonite got a very good workout.”

            Ashline touched his arm, and he smiled at her.

            “I am going to kill Misty again…” Gary vowed.

 

            The next day, amidst tears, Misty’s Matchmaking service was finally brought to an end.

 

            The Queen looked at Mewthree. “I believe your second experiment was the best one, Mewthree. We didn’t get much energy out of the other ones.”

            “Yes, my Queen.” Mewthree said, looking down.

            “Well, those sailor brats are certainly a pain. You must dispose of them! You have two more chances.”

            Mewthree gulped as he left the realm.

 

            Ivy laughed. “Well, when we have enough energy, I’ll revive my second general, Articuno2, and then, my revenge will come! And once I find the three orbs of Fire, Ice, and Lightning, the world will be mine!”

            Cackles filled the air after that.

 

            Lance sighed as he and Ash tried to enjoy ice cream cones at a roadside stand without being mobbed by fans. It didn’t work.

            Sunglasses and hair dye weren’t enough.

            Finally, Ashline dragged Lance behind a bush and whipped out her Moon disguise pen. “Just turn us into two ordinary trainers!”

            After that, the afternoon was uninterrupted, even though Winfield scolded that the pen was only for use for ‘sailor business.’

 

            “Listen, Winfield or whatever your name is.” Lance said. “I’m only saying this once. You’re putting us through enough hell with all of these battles we have to fight, so we might as well put our powers to good use. So…”

            Dragonair was released.

            “Leave us alone or else I will feed you to Tempest. He must be hungry…”

            Winfield eeped and ran off as fast as his legs could carry him.
