Like a Lithium Flower
Tokyo 2025 and the world has changed due to the outbreak of the youma population within the city years back. The government knew about the Sailor Senshi for a decade but it was shrugged by the National Diet since it was just one part of the Minato ward. It was when people had noticed the strange kidnappings of Naru Osaka and Haruna Sakaruada almost daily as well as the Japanese people were turning into energy gathering monsters that the people had enough. The wealthy American ex-pats had decided to move back home enough by the youma, it also affected all of the Minato ward as tourism dwindled to minimum visitors thanks to bad reviews TripAdvisor, negative press outside of Japan on social media and clips on Youtube. It was pretty much a slum and Japan wanted something done about it.
With the Prime Minister, Mamoru now officially Chief Chiba had set up Senshi 9 that is a top secret organisation to deal with the youma attacks. The stress that Chief Chiba had within the past 30 years have aged him to the point of grey hair however the Senshi were unaffected physically. At first the government wanted to denote a large flash bomb within the Minato ward to kill all of the youma however the elderly people complained as it gave them bad memories when they were kids regarding Hiroshima. It was a last resort as Chiba and the Prime Minister, the newly elected Prime Minister had spent a year debating about the issue. The National Diet didn't want to use these "aliens" has looking at footage, they had caused damage trying to deal with the youma accidentally. It was all these years ago that they spent trying to remove rumours of both Sailor Moon and Sailor V acting as guardians. Anyone who had magical powers was not a human especially ones that still looked like teenagers/young adults.
Chiba gave them a detailed report and the Prime Minister finally agreed as if it was dealt quietly then higher class of people can move back to the Minato ward and Azabu-Juban. Due to the bad press in the past regarding the Sailor Senshi, Chiba had decided to use new names for the group. Usagi was renamed to The Moon who would deal with investigating and taking the final blow of the youma, Ami was renamed to Mizuno and was relegated to hacking and look out, Makoto was the least to be changed since they called her Mako anyway just with a spelling change to Makou and she dealt with both the strength but also the heart as she looked after special flowers called Sasanqua that were developed by Senshi 9. There was massive debate who got to be leader with Usagi, Rei and Minako were all arguing about the title, Chiba decided that Usagi would be the leader and Rei and Minako, now Marth and Venito would be paired up. Hotaru, Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna were back up in case things went wrong and became the rapid response team however they weren't given new names. It didn't matter for Haruka and Michiru as it meant more time together with kisses and shoulder rubs as well as Haruka's twilight days as a racing driver.
New recruit Furuhata had entered the building, he was startled as he didn't know where to go and which floor Senshi 9 was since it was at a hidden partition and required keycode access. Luckily for him after meeting with the Secretary, Chief Chiba stood by the reception area colder than in the past, more stoic than he ever was.
Chiba instructed, "Welcome Furuhata, you are no longer allowed to be called Motoki as part of Senshi 9."
"Thanks and that's great of you Mam... Chief, however I do not have the intelligence or the strength of the others in Senshi 9", blushed Furuhata as he struggled looking at his cold former friend.
"Senshi 9 needs a more natural understanding within the group, highly skilled but needs a liaison between myself and the others of Senshi 9. Your first assignment is to partner up with Makou."
Furuhata made a puzzled look, in the past he wanted to stay away from Makoto however he was ordered to be with her and wondered why her. Why not The Moon who had a crush at him in their earlier years?
The blond wondered, "Why do I have partner up with Makou?"
"She's the closest to being a human and you're like me, a human", coldly nodded Chief Chiba.
While running on the rooftops of the various businesses in Azabu-Juban, The Moon was delighted yet had a serious look on her usually large eyes as she was scouting for youma in the area. Yet as she jumped off the roof and heading towards the direction of the former luxury area of Roppongi Hills, she had found a light green object that was lurking around the apartment block moving from floor to floor hoping to see something.
The Moon got out her communicator, a small pink microphone that came from her wand and gave instructions in a clear yet understanding tone. In the past Usagi was never like this however as the years went by, she got more and more depressed and mostly outgrew her behaviour outside of crushes and seeing large cakes.
"We have a situation, there's a youma lurking around the disused apartment complex of Roppongi Hills. Marth, Venito, you two will go towards the rooftop of the Mori Tower and provide distance attacks."
Marth and Venito were nearby as they were outside the Louis Vuitton store in the Roppongi Keyakizaka Street that was behind the target. It was unknown what they did however the blonde was looking at a small brown handbag and the long blacked haired woman was looking at a black dress.
"Got it The Moon", responded Marth as she looked towards her partner and grumbled, "The Moon is such a stupid name for a leader."
"It might be stupid Marth but at least she chose that name, I wanted to be called The Goddess of Love but the Chief named me Venito. That's actually a nice name if you say it fifty times", smiled Venito as she was distracted and went off course in her speech.
"Mizuno, you get a visual on the kind of youma that is located there and best strategies."
"Roger", sighed the blue haired woman as she was stuck with a virtual headset and was typing on a keyboard.
"Makou, you get a Sasanqua to take to the Mori Tower and meet with Furuhata by the nearest restaurant there."
"Got it", smirked Makou as she was in the Senshi 9 flower garden.
As well as Makou looking at the garden that was full of trees and grasses, there were ten pink Sasanqua that were planted. They were pink leaved evergreen shrubs however there was a major difference between these and Sasanqua Camellia plants, they had faces on them where the stigmata and the stamen were in the flowers. One of them was in front of the other flowers and smiled as it looked towards the giant brunette.
Makou blissfully smiled as she stroked the petals of the Sasanqua, "You're going on a trip with Marth and Venito to Mori Tower."
"Yay! I get to be with Marth and Venito!", cheered the shrub as it spoke in a child like voice. "Okay Makou, I won't let you down."
Very quickly the Sasanqua had managed to walk from its leaves and stalk away from the garden towards the wooden floor as it went off down an elevator towards the Mori Tower. Makou then decided to sprint as she headed towards the stairs.
Five minutes later, Marth and Venito were at the top of the Mori Tower and could see the youma hanging around the first floor of the apartment block, it was the light green object from earlier and got to see it more clearly. It was very spiky and had large nails growing out of its hand.
Mizuno informed, "Marth, Venito. It is a Class 2 youma. Your instructions are for Venito to use her Love Me Chain attack and you Marth to fire an arrow."
Will Marth and Venito attack the youma? Will Makou punch some youma while being friendly with Furuhata? Will The Moon say "Moon Healing Escalation Refresh?" at the youma. Also why is Beryl lurking around? Sadly we may never know as the time was up and the stream got dropped out.
