KiAnson – hai, hai, I’m updating! I don’t, I hate Winfield…

Akiko Koishii – hi~! Well, I’ve seen one or two fics with misty as a sailor senshi, but never Ash, so I thought, why not?

Chapter 9: Reveal the monster – or… the whole key/other object dilemma

Ashline sighed as her locket changed into a key again. It was always a locket when she needed it, but still.

What was wrong?

In a second, it changed back.

Ashline decided that glaring wouldn’t help. Sighing, she pocketed it, buckled on her poke belt, and headed off to face another new day.

Lance raised his eyebrows as she stumbled out of the door. “Ash… you had a match an hour ago.”

“I know, I’m sorry… I overslept and then got distracted…”

Lance grinned in a predatory fashion. “Don’t worry. I took care of him.”

“You did?” Ash jumped on Lance, hugging him tightly. “Thank you!”

“No problem.”

Misty sighed. Yes, they were a cute couple. Yes, she was slightly jealous. Yes, she would like a boyfriend.

But she wasn’t going to steal Ash’s.

Besides, it wasn’t as if Lance had any feelings for her.

“Tired?”
Ash nodded as Lance picked her up. “Hai…”

“I’ll give you some more of my energy… that youma attack yesterday took a lot out of you.”

Without another word, Lance’s eyes began to shine silver as energy wrapped around the two of them. When Misty could see again, Ash was looking much more awake while Lance looked tired.

“Thank you…”

“No problem, you’re the one who has to run around in a miniskirt.”

Ash blushed.

Lance stood up. “Well, call me if anything attacks. You have physics now.”

“Hai!”

Ashline ran off to find her teacher/tutor/school system the Elite Four and Co. use, and another day began.

It was normal, until snow started to fall.

Ash sighed. * No, no, no, no, no, I am NOT going out there! *

She attempted to ignore the snow.

Fifteen minutes later, Winfield showed up and tried to yank her out there by the leg of her jeans. The jeans wound up tearing.

“HENTAI UMBREON! I liked these jeans too! That was my only pair of black jeans!!!”

Winfield ran, Ashline chasing after him angrily, hurling textbooks and other items as she ran.

Garina and Misty were already using a combination of Mermaid’s enchantment and Silence Blast to hold it at bay. The Moonlit Darkness kept away all of the snowballs flying at them.

“Moon Star Boomerang!” Ashline cried, hurling her weapon forwards.

Moondust again.

Mewthree ground his teeth and appeared. * This is my last chance… *

Suddenly, psychic beams began flinging the girls everywhere.

“This is not good!” Garina said. “Moonlit Darkness!”

The shield went up temporarily, but it was not a full-proof plan just to hide there forever.

“Any ideas?”

“Hold on.” Ashline continued to spin the boomerang in her hands. “Let’s combine attacks.”

“Good idea.” Misty approved. Both she and Garina waited. As Mewthree charged the barrier, trying to break it apart, they ducked and the boomerang shot off. A silence blast and a mermaid’s enchantment melded with it at the same time.

Tracking and blazing with energy, the boomerang crashed into Mewthree’s head, knocking him out.

“We did it!”

“Now what?”

“Hmm…”

Winfield showed now to show up, after the danger was over.

“Excellent!” Winfield turned a flip. A purple clear orb dropped out of midair. It flew to Mewthree and sucked him in.

“We have to capture him?”

“Well, see… Mewthree is one of the four guardians of the prince of the moon. But he was kidnapped along with the other three by the Dark Queen and forced to be a minion after brainwashing!”

“… I see…” Misty muttered.

“So now, we just wait for him to come back to normal!”

“You are way too optimistic.” Ash told Umbreon.

Winfield sulked. “At least there are only three guardians left. And you still haven’t found the princess!”

“How in the world are we supposed to know where she is?!”

“Good question! I’ll think on it!”

Three very peeved senshi returned to the Plateau.

“I hate that Umbreon.”

“Who doesn’t? I was so pleased when Rachel wasn’t a senshi. Lucky duck though!”

“You said it!”

That night, Ash and Lance’s room

“I think I have a solution.”

“You do?”

“Yes, I’m calling Charlotte from Cosmos. She might know something about these keys.”

“Cool. Nice to see my cousin again.”

“True.”
