Bishoujo Slayers Muyo
Part One
    Once again, a typical evening at the Misaki residence. While Ryoko and Ayeka battled it out in the latest attempt to impress Tenchi, Sasami was in bed after another tiring day of cooking and cleaning. She heard Mihoshi's voice mildly intervening and Tenchi's pleas for them to stop. She finally drifted off to sleep with Ryo-oh-ki beside her.
    The image of Ryoko appeared, followed by a strange woman wearing almost nothing floating in the black abyss. A red haired girl marched by, followed by a blond-haired man in armor, a young girl in white, and a main with blue hair in single file. A shadow loomed above them all as Sasami tread on air.
    "Tenchi-ni-chan?" she yelled, "Ryo-oh-ki-chan? Sister? Where are you?"
    She gasped as Tenchi was swallowed by the shadow. The light of five girls encircled the demon, but they were also swallowed.
    "Tenchi!" Sasami ran toward it, tears trailing behind her. She fell away from them, leaving her screaming.
    "Sasami!" Ayeka's hand touched her younger sister's shoulder as Washu appeared behind her.
    "Meow!?" Ryo-oh-ki wiggled her nose, showing concern on her face.
    "Ayeka..." Sasami fell into the darkness.
    The others had come after hearing Sasami's scream. The room was embraced in a mysterious energy while the symbol on Sasami's forehead glowed fiercely.
 

    It was another headache on the road south of Atlas city as Naga chuckled to herself and mumbled things none of us could hear. Amelia hopped along without concern of the fact that we were marching off toward a battle with some goof-ball who thought he could bring Shabronigdou back to life, I mean, he's already dead, right? I killed him a while back when I first met Gourry, and Zelgadiss. So maybe he just got the names mixed up and is resurrecting some other monster. Well, whatever it was, we were hired by Phil, Amelia's princely father to go and stop Aro.
    As usual, Gourry with his lack of understanding of the simplest things, just stared at me cluelessly as I attempted to explain the purpose of stopping the moron who wanted to call forth the monster. My philosophy is, "You can't make a brick understand." Thankfully, Zel knew what I was talking about and Naga...well, how can I describe that hideous laugh and beyond comprehensible fashion sense?
    "So...why are we going after this guy?" Gourry looked down at me blankly.
    "How many more times do I have to say this!?"
    "Just one more time...I think," he responded.
    Heaving a big sigh, I tried again, "Gourry."
    "Yeah?"
    "Mazoku want to destroy the world."
    "Yeah..."
    "You are on the world."
    "Uh huh."
    "If a Mazoku destroys the world, it destroys you. That is bad."
    "Uh huh."
    "Understand?" I gritted my teeth, waiting for the answer.
    "Oh."
    "Oh!?" I tried to contain my anger, "Do you understand or not!?"
    "Um..."
    "Well!?"
    "Can you go back to the part about destroying the world?"
    "GOURRY!!" I desperately tried to strangle him to relieve all of our agony.
    Zelgadiss and Amelia watched and sprouted familiar sweat drops. Naga was spaced and continued to revel in her thoughts.
    "Gourry you useless, clueless, brainless--"
    Ahem.
    "Huh?" a momentary pause in my murdering of Gourry.
    Excuse me, Lina, but shall I continue now?
    "Oh...oh yeah...sorry Mr. Narrator, just don't interrupt me when I'm trying to kill Gourry next time!"
    Riiight...anyhow...
    The sun was setting behind the rim of trees and the path seemed too obvious. It was Zelgadiss' suggestion to take a more subtle route by taking a commonly used road to reach Aro's tower. He probably wouldn't be expecting an open attack, but instead, a sneak attack. So off they went, in plain sight, ready for anything.
    That's when Naga stopped to investigate a small gathering of civilians that were staring at her. Lina decided that Naga would catch up once she had realized that no one had waited, so they ignored her. Deeply interested in the peasant's problem, Naga only stared back and attempted to get one of them to speak.
    "Now then, Gourry, where was I..." Lina reached at his throat with her hands.
    "Uh...Lina, I don't know everything, but I do know some stuff!" Gourry said the line that usually stopped Lina from doing irrational things to him.
    "all right, Gourry, but the next time you don't try to understand, I won't be held responsible for my actions," Lina stepped away from him and kept walking.
    "Maybe we should find someplace to camp for the night," Zelgadiss offered, now used to Lina's eccentric way of expressing herself.
    "Wow, it's getting dark already," Amelia stated the obvious.
    Lina planted herself on a patch of grass, just off the road, "This looks like a good spot!"
    Gourry sat against a tree and stared upward for no particular reason. Amelia plopped down next to Lina and started to rehearse her speeches again. Zelgadiss leaned against a different tree than Gourry's with his arms crossed and eyes closed, displaying an expression that looked as if her were deep in thought.
    "Don't get too cozy," said a high pitched male voice that sounded almost female.
    Lina glanced around and Amelia silenced. Gourry had fallen asleep and Zelgadiss' expression did not change.
    A man in a brown robe stepped forward with three dingey cohorts just behind him, "Give me your goods and you won't get hurt," the man with the high voice demanded.
    Lina fell backwards with laughter, "That voice...ha ha!!" she didn't stop when the four bandits drew swords.
    "Lina!" Amelia stood up, battle ready.
    The bandits looked at each other, "Lina...as in Lina Inverse...Bandit Killer!!?" They were on the verge of running away.
    "You sound like a woman!!" Lina could barely say through her laughter.
    By this time, Gourry had woken up and just dozed somewhere between awake and sleep, totally oblivious to the situation.
    Lina suddenly stopped and leapt to her feet, "Mega Brand!!"
    Gourry's eyes whipped open, Amelia flew from her spot a few feet and landed hard, Zelgadiss opened one eye, then closed it again.
 

    Meanwhile, in the present, at the exact same location...
    "Sailor Moon, NOW!" cried Sailor Mars.
    Luna and Artemus clung to the pavement as the monster known as Bura prepared to attack again. Chibi-usa and the four inner Senshi huddled together, barely able to avoid being blown away by the energy the monster was emitting. Eternal Sailor Moon stood up. The wings had been ripped from her costume. With scepter in hand, its shaft extended, she gripped it with both hands. Bura attacked with a condensed ball of power.
    "Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!" Sailor Moon yelled, pointing the elongated staff at Bura.
    The two attacks collided and a strange power enveloped them all.
