(Dreamy306 and BiggerBetterBarbie)
(--AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is an extended and revamped version of the original story, done by the lovely BiggerBetterBarbie! You'll find the original, here...)
The Witches 5 had become nigh-invulnerable after their ungodly transformations,
and thanks to them the city of Tokyo had devolved into a complete apocalypse.
Pharaoh 90 would almost cry at the sight. The insignificant insects were already
making for excellent playthings, toppling over each other to escape the booming
shockwaves of giantess feet & malevolent magical energy erupting all around the
cretins. The five giantesses had delightfully wicked grins on their faces as
they each leisurely paraded across Tokyo, each of them seizing some hundred
sorry miscreants below their footwear per step. Eudial, Mimete, Tellu, Viluy,
Cyprine, and Ptilol had all grown to around 100 feet large, taking great
satisfaction in whatever carnage they could cause with their apocalyptic powers
as they strode about. The abominable energy saturated the landscape in an
ominous atmosphere of color with an aftertone of darkness, complementing the
smoldering carnage below with a pretty little bow on top. Practically all of
Tokyo had gone from a dazzling environment of harmony to a prism of the
apocalypse screaming "DON'T COME HERE!!"
"What extraordinary displays of power~...only a mere taste of Master Pharaoh
90's magnificent energy, and we've already evolved into the new goddesses of
this puny little planet!" Viluy gloated, telepathically controlling tornadoes of
her nanobots that devoured and dissolved all in their path.
"I'll say... how could we NOT test these experiments any sooner? We possessed a
marvelous resource right in front of us, and almost didn't even use it! Just
like these awful earth mammals, taking advantage of their planets extraordinary
garden!" Tellu sneered in response, every step of her fertile feet giving bloom
to a cesspool of thorny, ravenous flora that brutally devoured every lesser
being in sight.
"Big words, describing Earth's plant life like that, Tellu. You DO know Pharaoh
90's gonna put an end to all that nonsense once he inhabits this miserable rock,
right?" Mimete teased, playfully sweeping the tip of her high heel across the
ground. If the fleeing bystanders weren't swept under her heel or tossed inside
the footwear's gaps, they were obliterated under falling buildings or cut to
macabre shreds by the glowing tip of her heel as it careened across everything
in sight, cutting and crushing anything & everything to pieces...At least until
a gleaming flame flew across her foot.
"OW! HOT, HOT, HOT!! Eudial, what the hell?!!" She complained, more victims
obliterated as she foolishly hopped around, trying to blow the licking flames
off her foot.
"Sor-ry, you should've been out of my way." The red-head chortled in response,
igniting her own fists with the modified Fire Buster she'd strapped to her back.
As soon as they were completely aflame, the Witch set her sights on another
patch of poor, primitive structures for her next demonstration.
"Mark and despair, you lowly earthlings! Spend your final meaningless moment
witness the beautiful flames of...Witches Flaming Fist!" She called out, leaning
over as she pounded them all into oblivion with her fists. The shockwaves from
hell swallowed the pulverized buildings and anything within a 5-mile radius,
turning the patch of land into an inferno.
"Watch it, you ditz! You're going to hurt my pretties!" Tellu complained,
shielding her hungry army of eldritch flora from the hell around them with her
arms.
"I can't lie, quite impressive, Eudial! See what beauty we can achieve when
we're all operating together rather than bickering like clowns?" Viluy asked.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Pharaoh 90 would be willing to pay entire galaxies
of every galactic currency for a planetary work of art like this!" Eudial
replied, blowing her fists.
"Come to think of it...I haven't heard a word from any of those itty-bitty
Sailor Senshi since I transcended into my new form! You think we can play with
'em for a while, or was their second-rate charm too insignificant to notice
before our glorious new forms did them in?" Mimete teased.
And that, right there, was where the Witches' scheme had gone entirely sideways.
When you strain a force of nature to its breaking point, astronomical or not, it
will always return. Count on it.
The wretched "Goddesses'" magnificent fall commenced as the miasma of chaos was
ever so slowly replaced by a nebula of cosmic colors behind the Witches' backs.
Suddenly, the corrupted environment was slowly extinguished, gently embracing
the sky in a polychromatic ambiance that seemed to engulf space itself.
"What in the?! How sudden…what sort of phenomenon could this be?" Eudial
inquired.
"Have we truly achieved goddess-hood? Are the heavenly gates opening to accept
their new members?!" Mimete asked as if such an ironic possibility was even
imaginable, gazing around as she wondered what could possibly be creating the
shimmering sky… she gasped as she turned around and looked up… and up… and up…
"Uh… guys?" Mimete nervously stuttered, finally grasping their predicament as
the others gazed up as well.
"Holy shi--!" Viluy began, taken by quite the surprise.
The now lowly giantesses were now gaping up in awe at nine incomprehensibly
astronomicalx2 pairs of feet that circled around them, and I mean BIG. The pinky
toe the smallest of the newcomers towered just as greatly vast as the Tokyo
Tower itself! The second-rate giantesses & everyone having survived their
apocalypse on the ground could hardly identify the even greater giantesses
because their bodies had practically faded into the atmosphere, but their
eardrum-piercing voices would become very familiar. The giga-goddesses were
Eternal Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Mercury, Super Sailor Mars, Super Sailor
Jupiter, Super Sailor Venus, Super Sailor Uranus, Super Sailor Neptune, Super
Sailor Pluto, & Super Sailor Saturn (yes, the titles were all needed)…famously
known as the Sailor Senshi. The Sailor Fukus they bore hadn't changed at all
(minus their footwear), but their very bodies radiated the now-shimmering sky
with planetary auras. The cosmic heroes had essentially, in effect, assumed the
astronomical forms of their patron planets, effectively seizing the puny
darknesses had finally been seized by the benevolent planets, inadvertently
bringing their apocalypse to an end.
"Wow, what a potent outcome! Look how incredibly tiny they and the city are!"
Venus began, leaning over to inspect her surroundings.
"Yeah, they almost look as "miniscule" & "lowly" as all the innocent lives
they've been ending..." Uranus sneered, stamping her foot for effect. The
resounding shockwave knocked the Witches 5 flat off their feet and shook any
buildings that hadn't disappeared under the Senshis' pedis into mid-air.
"Look at that! Do you think...maybe we overdid it on the growth formula?"
Jupiter asked.
"Nonsense! Do you know how hopeless taking these brats on at normal size
would've been? Even if we matched them in size, we wouldn't be able to compete
with the energy Pharaoh 90 had granted them." Pluto replied.
"Sailor Pluto is right. If this is how the entire city and ultimately the whole
world must be cleansed of evil, these are the lengths we must go to achieve such
a goal." Mercury stated.
"And I suppose that means...nearly becoming one with reality? Not that this is
permanent, but I almost can't complain...seeing the villains who would treat
tens of thousands of innocent lives as playthings and amusement 'literally' at
our feet provides me with such a rush..." Neptune giggled, an almost evil smile
on her face as she pondered the tyrants' fate.
"You bet it will! I've suffered so much at the hands of you horrible people!"
Saturn angrily shouted. Her voice was so incredibly loud it sent booming
shockwaves across the city, shattering windows, breaking car alarms, and sending
everyone (including the Witches 5) to their knees.
"I admit, I'm impressed...Such extraordinary lengths to defeat you all, too. We
really passed the Godzilla Threshold, this time. It's a shame you atrocious
people couldn't have adopted goodness in your hearts, else we wouldn't be here!"
Jupiter remarked, hands on her hips.
"Logical as always, everyone. I like it!" Mars said. Usagi then stepped in front
of the other girls, with just one step shaking the Earth unimaginably and
knocking the villainesses off their feet yet again.
"Hey, everyone in Tokyo! You've all been through quite the wringer, huh... it's
loathsome what these no-good giantesses have done to you all! We promise we'll
be much better...but you'll all have to endure juuuust a lil' bit more pain
before then. Sorry for doing this, but in-between dealing with all this chaos
and using the Silver Crystal, we're pretty weary of fighting evil by moonlight
and winning love by daylight for now, so we're just gonna have a spot of fun,
turn these cities into our own personal stomping grounds, and then we'll crush
them flat when we're done. You'll all, well, MOST of you will be right back to
your daily lives after we fix all this mess with the Garnet Orb, and we'll even
stay at giantess size and help you all fix anything up, so no hard feelings,
okay?" Moon spoke.
"Bah, quit flapping your gums, meatball head! Everyone's...probably gone,
unfortunately. And there's sure as hell nowhere for these despicable gnats to
run, so no sense trying to reason with them." Mars replied.
"Oooooh… you're so mean, Sailor Mars! You're as mean as your new size!" Moon
snapped as the two ladies stuck their tongues at each other.
"Okay, girls, okay. Let's just get this over with. On the count of three,
everyone. One, two…" Mercury began as she and the other girls each raised a
barefoot. The nowhere-near-as-gigantic Witches 5 could only wish they could
escape, eyeing up in horror as they watched a giant barefoot take up their
entire field of vision.
"Crap! What're you waiting for?! Make a beeline for it so we can absorb more
energy from Pharaoh 90!" Eudial ordered, the hopeless villainesses running for
dear Pharaoh 90. Unfortunately, they stood no chance at escaping the Sailor
Senshis' incomprehensibly-massive feet, and all they could do was watch in
horror as an incomprehensibly-massive bare-foot blocked their field of vision.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" They all screamed, karma finally catching up to them.
--
"And… BOOM! They're done for, and all of Tokyo is crushed." Chibiusa suddenly
said, making sound effects with her mouth for emphasis. Yep, what you just read
was merely a (very descriptive) shared daydream by Chibiusa, joined in the Tomoe
Mansion basement by her good friend Hotaru. Having recently been completely
repurposed as Haruka-papa's private workspace (even though Hotaru and her
friends were still allowed inside), the floor had been occupied by an extensive
diorama, repurposed from what was a giant-sized model of modern-day Tokyo into
what appeared to be an epic battle between the Sailor Senshi, with some very
creative liberties taken along the way.
The tykes were currently engrossed with Chibiusa's latest creative endeavor: a
tabletop board game featuring the Sailor Senshi, and Chibiusa's personal
"fascinations." Yup, the fact that it was a repurposed Tokyo diorama was
probably the most "normal" thing about it; the whole thing had been decked out
with buildings that looked MUCH bigger than the diorama's original size would've
suggested, and stylized to look like present-day Tokyo and Crystal Tokyo had
been mixed into a beautiful skyline (courtesy of Luna-P)! The street itself had
been adorned with colored spaces, much like something out of a board game. And
not to mention the Sailor Senshi themselves. The toys modeled after them (again
courtesy of Luna-P) were probably life-sized at that point (if they hadn't
almost looked like the real thing already), animating Chibiusa's story for her
with the help of Luna-P and a special remote for her to control their entire
surroundings with. The full effect of their magnanimous size was shown in full
to Chibiusa and Hotaru, having agreed to take a much closer look at the scenery
with the help of Chibiusa's signature shrink ray. The scene had been paused just
before the impact, leaving the tantalizing view of their ginormous soles just
before impact in full view.
"And that's it, Tokyo gets crushed and everyone just...dies? ...That smarts, I
don't think I'd want
the game to end like that. It almost makes us Senshi seem like the rampaging
bad-guys..."
Hotaru added, carefully looking at the giant Sailor Senshi feet above her. The
display
was...overwhelming, to say the least, especially when you could see it in full
effect! Hotaru
found it difficult just to cohere what was happening, even when her friend had
"explained" it to
her. She could've sworn Chibiusa said something about the rules that got tossed
aside a few
minutes later?
"Oh, you think so? If you wanna know, Sailor Moon uses the Silver Crystal to
bring everyone back and everything ends happily-ever-after. So, how does it all
sound? Like fun? Wanna play it with me?" Chibiusa asked, always eager to share
her things with friends.
"I mean, your pinky toe must dwarf the biggest building here! Check it out!"
Chibiusa said, pulling a remote she was using to control everything out of her
pocket.
"This Game Master Remote sure is nifty. The referee's supposed to use it to
control the game when we play! It can even control the computer-controlled
players, check it out!" With one click, Sailor Saturn's mighty foot crashed to
the ground somewhere far from the duo's location, creating a shockwave that
knocked them off their feet!
"Ack! Jeez, who needs the Silence Glaive when you have this?!" Hotaru shouted as
the duo tumbled to the ground. Chibiusa was giggling like a madwoman, Hotaru HAD
to have loved the idea. There were giant Sailor Senshi! And awesome new powers.
There couldn't have been any fault with Chibiusa's new creation...
"Now you've got me thinking...it seems a bit much, isn't it counterproductive to
have all that craziness going on? How's this thing supposed to work, anyway?"
Hotaru asked as the duo rose to their feet.
"Uh...really? What do you mean?" Chibiusa asked, tilting her head in confusion.
She'd never assumed her work had gone all over the place, did Hotaru not enjoy
it or something? Maybe her magnum opus DID have faults, after all!
"Well, you said the Senshi are supposed to grow into super-giantess size and get
all those wacky powers...but you never explained the way the game is supposed
to, well, play. How are we supposed to play if we don't even know the rules?
Hold on, let me give you an example. Mind handing me the remote?" Hotaru asked.
"Oh, of course! Go for it!" Chibiusa chirped, happily following suit.
"Okay, let's see here..." Hotaru began, inquisitively fiddling with the buttons.
Eventually, she hit the right button, and the impending doom of Sailor Senshi
feet faded from the "sky."
"Say I went ahead and got super-lucky as soon as the game started, and got one
of these wacky power-ups you were just talking about." She continued, hitting a
button that looked like it was supposed to do what she wanted. In a stroke of
luck, she did, and Hotaru promptly soared into the air, returning to her normal
size. Chibiusa was so small compared to her, the tyke could've easily been
mistaken for a bug in Hotaru's eyes.
"Now that I've grown so big...what's to stop me from, say, doing this right off
the bat?" Hotaru asked, raising her socked foot up above the city. It was
obvious what was coming next.
"Whoa there, Hotaru! You know I'd rather crush than be crushed!" Chibiusa
complained, backing herself up. Not listening, Hotaru brought her foot down upon
the poor city, knocking her friend right off her feet.
"And, I thought you'd said that we were supposed to move spaces by rolling dice.
If my feet are so big, then how long do you think it'd take me to crush you like
this? Say I rolled a 6..." Hotaru asked.
"A 6?! Come on, that's no fair!" Chibiusa complained. Still undeterred, Hotaru
slowly began taking her turn, her foot already covering tons of ground on her
shrunken friend.
"Eek! You can't lose this early, can you?!" Chibiusa yelled, running for the
hills. It didn't matter, 1...2...3 steps later, and Hotaru's foot loomed far too
close for Chibiusa to escape.
"ACK!" She yelped as the unstoppable socked force descended upon her.
"See? I can end the game with one turn at that rate!" Hotaru replied, lifting
her foot from her friend as she pressed the "undo" button on the Game Master
Remote, returning her to shrunken-dom.
"Yikes...this must be how Usagi feels whenever she gets caught in my shrinking
traps." Chibiusa groaned, rising to her feet.
"You've finished the prototype...but has anyone helped you out? Has it even been
tested beforehand?" Hotaru asked. There was no way someone with attention to
detail like Ami could've allowed this to pass.
"Oh...not really. I didn't get anybody's help, either. Sucks, I thought I had
something going here for a second!" Chibiusa pouted, hands on her hips. Was she
always making careless mistakes like this with her work?
"No wonder everything's so disorganized! You're gonna have to refine your work
before you have it put up for the world to see. That's what Michiru-mama always
says!" Hotaru replied.
"Well, if even she says so...then there's no way I can go around calling this a
finished product! I'm gonna have to pull out the big guns for this one...and
pull a real power-hour!" Chibiusa proclaimed, pumping her fist. Her goal was for
all of her friends to enjoy playing, so she had to take their advice first and
foremost! Unbeknownst to them, the basement door slowly opened, a tired figure
wandering downstairs...
"...The big guns? Chibiusa, what happened to being organized? How's adding even
more stuff gonna help?" Hotaru asked.
"You won't have to worry one bit, Hotaru! When I'm back in my bedroom with the
rest of my tools, I'll be fixing this into the greatest game ever, count on it!
Now, if you hand the remote over so we can get back to--" The tyke was
interrupted, as another unidentified shockwave shook the entire diorama. The
impact was so sudden it shocked both girls for a moment.
"W-What was that? WHO was that?" Hotaru asked.
"Uhh...I don't know. We'd definitely get back to normal now, it could be some--"
Chibiusa was interrupted yet again as an even mightier shockwave sent them both
to the ground. Said-
shockwaves were now coming at a much faster pace, intensifying with every
impact. The duo could hardly keep a sound footing at that rate.
"Eek! I can't--ACK!--stay--Oof!--still..." Hotaru complained, falling over time
and time again.
"Hey, Hotaru! Press the--EEK!--reset button! Well--OW!--get back to our normal
sizes!" Chibiusa called out!
"Okay! Give me--OOF!--A chance to get back up... Yikes!" Hotaru yelled. After a
particularly nasty booming of the ground, the remote Hotaru had been fighting to
grab flew straight out of her hands, bouncing all over the ground...the
batteries falling out...and the whole thing straight into a storm drain.
Ironically, that was where the shockwaves stopped, leaving the duo in stunned
disbelief.
"REALLY?! A storm-drain?!" Hotaru yelled, clearly angry at what had just
happened.
"I'm...so sorry, Hotaru...I've been putting the effort in all the wrong places."
Chibiusa began.
"I know...I know...and you were gonna fix it, right? Before whatever THAT was
just happened. Now, what are we gonna do?!" Hotaru asked, rushing over to the
drain to see if she could at least still see it.
"Uhh, Hotaru...I think the bigger problem is where those earthquakes CAME
from..." Chibiusa began, looking upwards.
"Wait...what do you mean?" Hotaru asked, rising from her position to scope any
changes in her surroundings. Changes, in fact, there were...
"*yaaawn*...Haruka? Have you seen my Garnet Rod? Make it quick, I'm not at all
happy about waking up so early..." Setsuna asked, tiredly wandering around the
basement. She wasn't in the mood to deal with Haruka's protectiveness of her
workspace (which still didn't even apply to Hotaru).
"*sigh* I see you aren't a fan of picking up after yourself, as usual..." The
greenette began, shuffling her feet over to the diorama? This was what Haruka
was so adamant about keeping locked to herself in the basement?
"Uh-oh...It's Setsuna-mama..." Hotaru began, the duo now aware of the culprit in
full.
"Puu! Down here! We've got a problem!" Chibiusa yelled out, waving her arms to
gain her friend's attention.
"Ch-Chibiusa...I don't think that's a great idea! Come hide, you know
Setsuna-mama is no fan of bugs!" Hotaru prodded, running to a nearby alleyway
for cover.
"Oops, you're right! Nobody wants to be crushed under two giantesses' feet in a
row!" Chibiusa replied, following suit.
"Is everyone out of the house?! Ugh, just my luck. I was enjoying my beauty
sleep...Even Michiru needs to stop behaving like I'm the housemaid. How am I
going to put this away..." Setsuna began, taking a careless step into the
diorama.
"Hey! What's she doing?!" Hotaru asked.
"She's walking right through it?! I thought she was tired, but not THIS tired!"
Chibiusa replied.
"Never mind that, she's right in our path! Get out of the way, it doesn't look
like she's watching her step, either!"Hotaru yelled, the duo running from their
hiding spot to seek alternative cover. They made it out in the nick of time;
Setsuna's gigantic bare-foot came right down upon the alleyway they were hiding
in, big enough to stomp the two buildings flat.
"Whew, cathartic..." Setsuna remarked to herself as she playfully strode to the
back of the room, surprisingly enjoying catching building after building
underfoot. There was a workbench occupied by a cyan-colored briefcase, and
Setsuna was planning on getting cleaned up, having much better things she needed
to be doing.
"Let's get started, I want to make this quick so I can see what her highness is
worked up about. I could've sworn everything looked normal on her end..."
Setsuna mumbled to herself, going for the big thing.
"Oh, no...she's not gonna do what I think she's gonna do, is she?" Hotaru began.
"Hey, she's got MY briefcase!" Chibiusa said, hurrying Hotaru in the other
direction. It...didn't make a difference at all. Setsuna, in quite a hurry to
have everything cleaned up, grabbed Chibusa's briefcase and set in on the
ground.
"Alright, since you want to leave your things all over the place, I'll step on
and throw them together with the same level of care as you." Setsuna remarked,
stepping back into the diorama.
"Such a mess, everyone leaves. No matter, they'll be cleaning up mine once I'm
through with this." She remarked, beginning another walk of terror. While
Chibiusa and Hotaru hurried in the other direction, Setsuna promptly got to work
"disassembling" the diorama. Only this time, she was doing all of the
disassembling with her feet.
"Hey, what does she think she's doing, rampaging around here like that?!" Hotaru
asked, the noise giving it away.
"Teehee...well, seeing the others run around as giantesses is always fun, even
when it's my stuff. I don't blame her for getting the idea!" Chibiusa replied.
"Yeah, but not when we might get crushed ourselves!" Hotaru replied. As they
ran, Setsuna brought up her massive feet time and time again, each impact
leaving more of the city in disorganized rubble.
"This will teach nuisances to clutter a giantess's walking path!" Setsuna
replied, devastating an entire line of buildings with a sweeping kick. Her foot
swept just ahead of Chibiusa and Hotaru, leaving a wall of debris to climb.
"Oh come on! Setsuna-mama, what did I ever do to you?!" Hotaru asked, running up
to try and climb it.
"I doubt she'd be doing this if you were in her, but we've gotta get out of here
before we end up crammed in that briefcase! Trust me, it packs things in like
magic!" Chibiusa replied, joining her friend in the struggle. Meanwhile,
Setsuna's feet had made short work of the city, and it now laid in an
easy-to-pack mess. The greenette contently squeezed a group of toy cars between
her toes and stepped away to open the suitcase, only to be greeted by a bright
blue light from inside.
"ACK! Oh, my...what's the meaning of this?!" She asked, looking around the
suitcase to see what was going on. The "property of Chibiusa" engravement
promptly gave it away.
"Ah...so it was one of Small Lady's belongings I just smashed through. Oops, my
bad...Well, I imagine it was for that express purpose anyway. Now I'll have
to--WHOA!!" Setsuna gasped, interrupted as the container violently threw itself
from Setsuna's hands. It hovered directly above the diorama, engulfing it in
bright blue light at the whole thing began to hover in the air.
"Whoa...what's going on now?!" Hotaru yelled, nervously scoping the situation.
"It's much less...terrifying from normal size, but we're being put away in my
briefcase!" Chibiusa replied. And with that, literally, the entire diorama flew
straight into the suitcase in a very improbable, cartoonish fashion. When the
job was done, the briefcase popped right back onto the ground, an assuring click
of the lock to make sure the job was done. Setsuna was so stunned she had to
pause for a moment before rising to her feet.
"Oh, my...If it isn't one thing, it's another. Next time, Small Lady should be
careful not to leave her things lying around." Setsuna replied, rising to her
feet.
"*sigh* With that, I'll be off. I must be seeing what the fuss is about with her
highness...Pluto Planet Power, Make Up!" Setsuna pouted, mumbling to herself as
she raised her hand into the air, enveloping herself in a flash of teleporting
light.
Crystal Tokyo, the 30th Century: Two Hours Later -
The fuss was about completely nothing. Eventually, Setsuna would need to explain
to Serenity that being summoned on an "urgent notice" to travel through time
generally entailed things like malevolent forces on an attack that couldn't be
managed without extra numbers, and not because she was too lazy to be cleaning
up around the Moon Palace by herself. Apparently, certain things never die with
certain people.
With one final hasty effort and the power of two excellently toned arms, Setsuna
had finally heaved Chibiusa's big suitcase onto the last shelf. Sailor Pluto and
(not) Serenity had emerged from their trial on top, but maybe it could've been
sooner had Serenity pulled her weight just more than she already had.
"Excellently done, Setsuna! Chibiusa's room looks so beautiful! I swear, I
couldn't have ever gotten this done without your help!" Serenity applauded. The
thing was: she could, she really could.
Setsuna just sighed, seeing her queen happy and content was halfway-worth all
the heavy-lifting and time wasted. Halfway.
"Your highness, I'm going to make myself clear here. I was in the middle of an
incredibly peaceful beauty sleep before the news of an "urgent matter" in
Crystal Tokyo scared me to half-death. Do NOT incur me to travel through time,
especially with the threat of an "urgent matter," unless it is, in fact, an
urgent matter. Please understand." Setsuna replied, hands on her hips.
"Oh...I'll admit, my methods of summoning you here were very unorthodox. See,
I'm having a few honored guests tonight. I figured I'd clean up around the
palace, but the task seemed too momentous for me to achieve all by my lonesome.
Is there any way I can make it up to you?" Serenity apologized, sheepishly
smiling.
"Hmm, I appreciate your offer...I could return through time and finish my nap,
but I don't want to have come here for naught...I'll tell you what, I'd like to
request permission to take advantage of Crystal Tokyo's accommodations. And
maybe a date with Endymion... " Setsuna began, wishfully thinking as she plopped
down in a nearby seat, kicking her feet up on the table.
"A date with-- Setsuna, no! I don't want to compete for Mamo-chan's
attention..." Serenity pouted. That, however, was where she drew the line.
"Come on, there must be some sort of compromise we can make. Come, let's
negotiate..." Setsuna encouraged. As the young women, well, "negotiated," a
small opening in Chibiusa's briefcase had given way to the escape of two
familiar tykes.
"Whew...my, I'm glad being stuffed in that suitcase wasn't completely dangerous.
I was half expecting us to be to fit in some weird space pocket!" Hotaru sighed,
helping herself and Chibiusa out of the small opening.
"I'll say. I guess it was foresight on my part!" Chibiusa said, congratulating
herself as she landed on the ground. The scenery, however, was instantly
recognizable to her.
"Wait a second...no way!" She exclaimed.
"Um...what is it? And, where even are we?" Hotaru asked, looking at the
surroundings. Chibiusa's bedroom almost looked akin to the Grand Canyon (or
insert another landmark here) from where the two stood.
"We're in...my bedroom! Puu must've taken my things and traveled through time to
get here!" Chibiusa replied.
"You're...you're serious?! Now, what're we gonna do?!" Hotaru asked. One second
she was shrunken inside of a toy city, now she'd inadvertently traveled through
time!
"I don't know yet, but I think that means...look!" Chibiusa said, pointing to
the two conversing giantesses below the shelf they were standing on.
"Oh...so that's Usagi's future self. I've never seen her like that!" Hotaru
replied, leaning in for a closer look.
"Trust me, there generally isn't that much of a difference. But more to the
point, we're trapped up here! At this size, I'm not so sure anyone will be able
to recognize us, they'll try to exterminate us like bugs instead!" Chibiusa
replied.
"That's the thing...we're at this size because of that remote, right? And it's
still...in there." Hotaru replied, pointing to the briefcase.
"Yeah...there's no way we can find it in that mess. Unless..." Chibiusa began,
formulating a plan.
"Do you think it's safer to stay up here? I mean, we're in danger of being
smashed into a paste by some careless foot if we're on the floor, but we're
sitting ducks up here." Hotaru asked.
"You're right...Hey! My game needs to be tested!" Chibiusa blurted at random.
"You're...what? You're not serious, now's not the time to be telling jokes!"
Hotaru scolded.
"I am serious! Hear me out, if we can get this big thing down there somehow...
maybe they'll open it! And, while they're busy playing, we can find the remote,
get ourselves back to normal, and have my game tested!" Chibiusa replied, proud
of her new plan.
"...How in the name of your mom are we going to get this giant suitcase to fall
off the shelf? " Hotaru asked, sounding very deadpan.
"Well...wait a minute, I've got another idea! Hotaru, let's transform! "
Chibiusa suggested, the Crisis Moon Compact appearing in her hands.
"T-Transform? What good will that do us?" Hotaru asked apprehensively.
"We may be tiny, but I'm sure out combined Sailor Senshi strength can knock this
big thing off the shelf!" Chibiusa replied, running to the sliver of space in
the back of the briefcase.
"Well, that seems super unorthodox, but it's the best chance we have..." Hotaru
replied, following her friend as the Saturn Lip Rod appeared in her hands.
"Okay. 3... 2...1...Let's Go!" Chibiusa proclaimed, she and Hotaru raising their
transformation devices to the air.
"Chibi-Moon Crisis Power, Make Up!"
"Saturn Crystal Power, Make Up!"
Meanwhile...
"For the last time, Setsuna, you can't go on a date with my Mamo-chan. He's
off-limits!" Serenity pouted, seeming more childish than assertive.
"Oh, poo...I still want to enjoy his company. What's so wrong about the king
being my personal assistant for just one night?" Setsuna teased, playfully
flexing the tips of her boots. Sure, Serenity was the queen, but it wouldn't
hurt for the guardian of time to have her way once in a while. She...arguably
still had a thing for Endymion, and getting of Serenity's often childish nerves
proved to be fun as well.
"Setsunaaaa, nooo! I want him to myself, tonight! Isn't there ANYONE else you'd
rather court for the night?" Serenity whined.
"Hmm...nope. Or, would you rather serve me in his stead? I've never gotten a
foot massage from the queen, before." Setsuna said, teasingly wiggling her
boot-clad toes.
"M-Me? ...Err, no! Setsuna, I already told you I had guests to host tonight."
Serenity complained, still blushing from Setsuna's remark.
"Well, I won't be leaving until I have something to compensate me for my time.
You already had me travel through time on such short notice, so it's my turn to
be unreasonable." Setsuna replied, firmly crossing her arms.
"*sigh* I suppose I can't complain if that's the case...So, how do you want to
decide this? Rock-paper-scissors, a coin-flip or..." Serenity suggested.
"No, that's random chance. You aren't going to get off that easily!" Setsuna
replied, still unmoving from her seat.
"Now, that's just being unreasonable! How else are we going to decide this?!"
Serenity asked, unjustly irritated.
"Chibi-Moon and Saturn Miracle Punch!!"
*CRASSSSHHH!*
The quarreling ladies looked at the other side of the room in stunned silence.
They were sure they'd packed everything away neatly, so how a lone briefcase had
made it onto the floor was astonishing.
"Yay! We made it!" Chibiusa exclaimed, happily pumping her fist.
"Nice attack name, Chibiusa! Now let's hope they take the bait..." Hotaru
replied, intently watching the two giantesses.
"What in the...How'd that happen?" Setsuna asked, rising from her seat.
"I couldn't be any wiser...did something in the suitcase move?" Serenity asked,
apprehensively approaching it.
"I don't think so...when I packed this thing up, it was just a big diorama of
Tokyo. Now that I think about it, I could've sworn it looked like a board game
too. There were spaces and everything, but I wasn't completely paying
attention..." Setsuna began.
"A board game, you say? Hey...that gives me an idea! Setsuna, would you mind
enjoying a game with our guests?" Serenity asked, eagerly turning to face her
friend.
"What do you mean...Is that how we're supposed to settle this little dispute?
Heh heh, if you say so. It'll give me something to spend my evening on." Setsuna
replied, contently smiling. It was nice to spend quality time with her queen,
especially with how much duty tended to get in their way...
"If you say so...the winner of our littler game gets to court Mamo-chan for the
night. Deal?" Serenity asked, offering a handshake to Setsuna.
"Agreed. Shouldn't said guests be arriving soon, I suppose?" Setsuna asked,
rising from her seat.
"Indeed. Come, we must be meeting them at the front gate. I do hope this won't
be too difficult to understand..." Serenity said as the duo exited Chibiusa's
room.
"Whew...it worked!" Hotaru sighed, relieved the duo's plan had gone
successfully.
"I know... just as expected! We can watch them play for a while, but remember,
we have to get inside and find that remote, too." Chibiusa replied.
"Yeah, but I think we should stay and wait a while. We don't wanna be on the
ground when they come back, or else we'll be dodging all those feet..." Hotaru
replied, taking a seat on the edge of the shelf.
"Yeah, I get it. Ooh, and that means I'll get tons of data for the game! I'll be
improving it in no time!" Chibiusa cheered. The thing was, she hadn't updated
the game at all...
30 Minutes Later --
"Here we are, ladies! We'll be spending the night in Chibiusa's room; Setsuna
and I have something we'd like you to enjoy with us for the night." Serenity
said, happily opening the door as she motioned her guests in. In came Sailor
Pluto once more, followed by the beautiful figures of Princess Mercury and
Venus.
"Our apologies we were the only ones who could make it, your highness. The
others seemed to have other commitments on their plate, so I hope the two of us
will be enough." Mercury replied.
"It shouldn't matter, as long as you two take the time to attend, that's enough
for us." Setsuna replied, each lady taking their seats and kicking their heels
off.
"So, I heard you two were in a little spat over your beloved Endymion. I didn't
know that stoic Setsuna over here was so entranced by him!" Venus teased,
playfully kicking her orange heels away.
"Well, we were...fortunately we've decided the way we're going to settle our
little dispute. Would anybody be interested in spending the night doing
something else, before we pull it out?" Setsuna inquired. Everyone shook their
heads. It was the hostess's call, after all.
"Why, I'd love to be the one to decipher who gets to bed--"
"Not BED him, my dear."
"Err, court him. I AM the Goddess of Love, after all." Venus proclaimed, putting
a hand up to her chest.
"Why, that's splendid to hear! Go ahead, Setsuna, open it up!" Serenity replied,
happily clapping her hands. The greenette sighed (she still was in the habit of
having others do things for her) and did exactly that.
"Alright...the last time I opened it, this functioned rather odd. It's a magical
tool, I know it, so stand back..." Setsuna motioned, walking to the back of the
room as she opened the thing.
"Oh, is that Chibiusa's briefcase? Yes, she had me assist her with its
development, so I think I know what game we're going to play." Mercury remarked.
"So she helped you, and the thing still ended up a jumbled mess." Hotaru
remarked, she and Chibiusa watching from a distance.
"Yeah...she was responsible for most of the technical stuff. I suppose it just
wasn't done properly." Chibiusa replied.
"Really, Ami? Spit it out, what game are we going to play?" Venus prodded,
shaking Mercury by the shoulder.
"Well, you'll see once it's finished loading..." The bluenette replied.
"Loading? I didn't anticipate a board game would--WHOA!" Setsuna exclaimed, the
guardian of time slowly lifting off the ground. She was engulfed in a bright
blue aura, as were Serenity and Minako.
"Oh, my...why, tonight's just full of surprises! What's going on?" Serenity
asked.
"Oh, you'll see. Chibiusa and I had to do a lot of work to finish this, it's
quite the immersive experience." Mercury silently giggled to herself.
"I don't quite get what you mean, and why aren't you all floaty. But...knowing
you, your crazy technology must've whipped something--WHOOOAAA!" Venus was
interrupted as the three women disappeared in wisps of blue light, flying
straight into the briefcase. Once its four captives were inside, it closed
itself and fell to the ground.
"W-What was that?!" Hotaru called out.
"Oh, I told you we were going to be walking around in the game! There was no way
walking around that at life-size would be fun, so I had to improvise with
Princess Mercury's help!" Chibiusa replied.
"Improvise? What do you mean..." Hotaru asked. Almost as if to answer her
question, the briefcase opened itself back up with a bright blue light,
releasing the rubble from Setsuna's recent rampage. Engulfed in magic, each and
every piece flew to the ground and reconstructed itself into the diorama from
earlier. The toy cityscape of Tokyo had been reconstructed almost as if nothing
had happened to it at all, completely vacant of any soul but three. Sailor
Pluto, Serenity, and Princess Venus appeared on three corners of the cityscape.
Their sizes had changed, however, they were at a quarter of their previous
height!
"Oh my gosh, what a rush! ...Where are we?" Venus asked, looking around.
"Yoo-hoo! You three, I'm up here!" Rang a familiar voice. The trio looked up to
see none other than Princess Mercury herself, happily waving down at them. She
practically looked like the 50-foot princess from Outer Space from that view!
"My word...that all went so fast, and the next thing I know Ami's a giant!
What's going on, here?" Serenity asked.
"Hee hee...I'm glad you all came upon Chibiusa's little game. This is no regular
board game, no...I enhanced this with Mercurian technology! You three might as
well be standing in a pocket-dimension, right now!" Mercury giggled, rising from
her seat.
"...I swear, this just gets more confusing as time goes on." Hotaru replied.
"Yeah, those were my thoughts at first." Chibiusa replied.
"Tell me, how does this feel? I need to test the sensory setting real quick."
Mercury asked, raising her bare-foot to the heavens. With a mighty stomp, she
sent a shockwave so powerful the ladies were knocked right off their feet!
"Oooh...my apologies, I can tell they work now." The bluenette giggled, sitting
back down.
"Jeez, this is nutty...So, what's the point of us standing in
a...pocket-dimension to play a board game?" Venus inquired.
"Well, look around! You three are standing like giantesses in a city! That's the
point of this game, you're going to have to use your sizes to your advantage,
and clear a set of challenges to win!" Mercury replied.
"I see...so, how are we supposed to proceed, then?" Pluto asked.
"Yeah, I'm growing tired of standing here." Serenity complained.
"Well, I could've sworn there was a rule-book somewhere...Oh, and has anyone
seen the Game Master Remote?" Mercury asked. Her question was answered by
crickets.
"Hmm...I see. Well, we'll have to find it eventually. Anyways, allow me to go
over the rules: See, I'm the Game Master here. I'm here to make sure any
instances of cheating are concluded with a decisive stomp of my foot!" Mercury
complained, doing exactly that for reference.
"Teehee, that's fun...*Ahem,* you're going to face a set of challenges given to
you by me. You'll have to use your sizes to your advantage to complete them. The
one who completes each challenge will win one point, and to win the game you'll
want the most of those. To move, you'll roll dice and move spaces. Here you go."
Mercury explained, throwing the girls one dice each.
"Oh, and one more warning: all the spaces here are black. What they do is a
mystery, and it will reveal itself once you've stepped on it. Understand?"
Mercury asked.
"Hmm...yep, I get it now. Let's get moving, the winner wins Endymion for the
night!" Venus proclaimed, pumping her fist in the air.
"Wait, you too?! I thought I was only competing with Setsuna!" Serenity
complained.
"Too bad, you're highness. All's fair in love and war, and I'm the goddess of
one of those things in case you couldn't tell. Let's get started, Ami!" Venus
ordered, pointing at the referee.
"Why, if you say so. Give me a moment..." Ami began, thinking to herself.
"Ah, I have an idea! For your first challenge..." Mercury began, propping her
feet up on a nearby table.
"I'd like you three to give me a pedicure!" She replied, happily flexing her
toes.
"Whaaaaat?! How's that supposed to let us flex our gigantic sizes?" Venus
complained.
"Ugh. I hadn't guessed this was what I'd be doing with my night. Where are we
supposed to get the products?" Setsuna asked.
"Good question, Setsuna." Mercury replied, snapping her fingers. Three wisps of
light burst from her hand and landed somewhere on the board.
"You'll need three things to take care of my feet. Some nail polish, lotion, and
a brush. They're hidden in three spaces. Bring them all to me to win one point.
You'll have to take each other one for the items if they get to one, though.
Understand?" Mercury asked.
"Alright. So I have to take care of a giant woman's feet to win my beloved
Mamo-chan, so be it! Let's begin!" Serenity replied, playfully determined.
"Very well, your highness. Start round 1!" Mercury proclaimed.
Round 1
"Alright, you three. Begin by rolling your dices." Mercury replied. The trio did
just that, with Setsuna pulling a lucky 7, Serenity pulling an even luckier 10,
and Venus pulling another 7.
"Great start, everyone! Watch out, you teensy little city! God save you from the
queen!" Serenity said, running forwards. She blew through her 10 like a champ,
taking 10 mighty stomps like they were nothing. Her footfalls carried a lot of
her weight, too, and ended up making giant craters in the ground.
"So, she's going all-in immediately, hm? I'll have to play conservatively if I
want to succeed..." Pluto began, carefully walking forwards. Her bare-feet came
down slowly upon the helpless
city, depressing the asphalt into a paste that stuck to her sole. Trees, cars,
nothing was safe from an impending doom under Pluto's foot. At least Serenity's
footfalls had pulverized them into almost nothing, now they were stuck to the
mighty sole of Pluto! Upon coming across an intersection, Setsuna looked
carefully to make sure she wasn't being watched before making a right. Three
steps later she'd reached her limit.
"Hey, what's the meaning of just walking there? See, the Goddess of Love can get
her self around in style!" Venus proclaimed, taking a step forward. As soon as
she did, she flipped herself over and performed a consecutive handstand,
catching tons of debris on her hands and feet, before finally making a large
jump onto her final space. The impact was so powerful, it leveled all the
buildings around her!
"Lovely first turn girls, now let's see how those spaces treat you." Mercury
replied, patiently rocking her soles back and forth.
First, it was Setsuna's turn. The black space under her slowly faded into a
bright light...that faded to reveal a red-exclamation mark.
"Hm? What could this be..." She began, moving her feet off the space. Almost as
if to answer, a bright ball of light appeared from the ground, to reveal a fancy
looking brush. It was one of Ami's three pedicure products!
"Oh my, already?! Well, if I let those two know about it, I'm sure they'll be
flying their feet into my face...I'll make my moves cautiously." She replied,
fitting the thing into a hidden pocket.
Venus's reward was straightforward. A couple, well, a group of gold coins popped
out from under her space.
"Thank you, thank you. Rewarded as a performed deserves!" The blonde said,
bowing to an imaginary crowd.
"Ooh, I see you've gotten some of those, Minako! Keep track of them, and you'll
be able to exchange them for an item later on. Understand?" Mercury asked.
"Teehee...hear that, girls? You'll want to be wary of the almighty Goddess of
Love!" Venus proclaimed in response, congratulating herself.
Serenity's reward was rather unorthodox. A traditional magic wand with a ribbon
attached to it appeared from the ground.
"Ooh, what's this?" She began, reading the note's contents.
HOCUS POCUS WAND - A mysterious wand whose effects are unknown. Give it a try if
you want to test your luck!
"Okay, I'll be making sure not to waste my luck, then." She said, silently
fitting it into her pocket. This was a modest start, for now.
"Having fun already, girls? Allow me to spice things up with some... well,
people!" Mercury said, snapping her fingers. Just like that, even tinier people
appeared on the board.
"If you want to grow in size, you'll have to get to crushing those little guys!
If you wanna be nice, you'll have to grow bigger in a different way. With that
said, you may now roll your die again." Mercury proclaimed.
"Is that so...well, I might want to consider being mean just this once..."
Serenity began, rolling her dice along with her competitors. She pulled a 6,
Setsuna nabbed an 8, and Venus rolled another 6. And, just Serenity's luck, a
group of fleeing bystanders was right in front of her.
"Hmm...so I'll need to crush you all to grow bigger...Oh, well. You aren't
actually real, anyways! Sorry, little guys, the rampaging Serenity is here,
bringing anything but!" The queen proclaimed, playfully stepping forward. Just
like a typical giant, she mumbled "Fee Fi Fo Fum..." playfully to herself as she
caught each group of people under her feet, some tried to escape in littler cars
behind her...
"I don't think so! I need you to get bigger!" Serenity called out, pinning said
automobiles in between her toes.
"Now, what should I do with you? I'll crush you right here for disobeying my
will!" Serenity said, squeezing her toes to instantly pulverize the offenders.
"My, that was cathartic...but still kind of boring. The next time I do that, I
want to get creative..." The queen thought before the rest of her captives
caught her eye.
"Hey! Don't act like you can get off so easily!" Serenity called out, hastily
running to catch the rest underfoot. She did so quickly, and efficiently, and
had amassed quite a number count under her feet before finally catching up to
her space.
Meanwhile, Setsuna would rather go a different route than harming civilians. She
wanted to succeed the hard way, after all.
"Alright, everyone. Please go right by my toes, I've no intention of hurting
you..." Setsuna cooed, unable to keep a smile from forming on her face as
everyone fled her toes. The temptation to have just a little bit of fun with
them was quite much, to say the least. Her eyes darted from artificial person to
artificial person... until a particularly cure boy caught her eye.
"Oh, I see you there. Think you can resist the allure of my titanic toe?" She
asked, playfully raising her foot. With decisiveness and precision, she managed
to pin him right under her big toe!
"Oops, my bad." She teased, leaning down to witness her struggling captive.
"Hmm, it seems you've been rather careless. You'd be well to avoid my toes next
time. That is, if you want to." Setsuna teased.
"Yes, yes...please, goddess! Let me go!" The man begged, struggling for his
life.
"Very well... off you go, then." The greenette replied, following suit. The
temptation to toy with these tinies hadn't been satisfied, however, maybe just
one more. The greenette raised her foot to the fleeing crowd, her tows
inquisitively pawing for something to grab. At last, they came upon a rather
large bus, which the guardian of time picked up quite easily with her toes.
Setsuna picked the thing up from in between her digits and raised it to her
face, looking to see the petrified people inside.
"Why, you're one of the lucky few! Not many people get up close and personal
with my toes. Having fun?" She asked, only to receive no response from whoever
was inside. They were frozen like deer in the headlights.
"Whatever, go on ...Do your thing." Setsuna replied, setting the bus back on the
ground. It promptly made a mad dash for the next intersection, along with the
fleeing crowd. Setsuna smiled contently, before continuing towards the rest of
her spaces...Only to be interrupted by some loud banging. Yup, none other than
Princess Venus had scooped the tinies all up in between her...legs.
"Hey, what're you...doing?" Setsuna asked, raising an eyebrow. This sure was a
"raunchy" display.
"Oh, me? I thought we had to crush these little guys to get stronger. Sorry,
Setsuna, They're MY call!" Venus replied, playfully bringing her soles together.
They were big, but not as big as everything caught between her legs, so she
found herself bringing her feet together to catch as much as she could with each
crush.
"Teehee...that's what you all get for being perverts!" The princess said, rising
up as she went to continue her rampage (that fit within her allotted spaces)
elsewhere, growing slightly bigger as she stomped away.
"*sigh* So much for being pacific. Whatever, that's not my goal, anyways." Now,
where were we?" Setsuna asked. With that, the ladies' second turn had ended. It
was time to see what those spaces were actually good for. While stretching her
arms before the next turn, Serenity received a good smack to the chin from
something popping up from the ground. It was enough of a surprise for her to
jump.
"EEK!" She cried, leaping away into a nearby building. It...well, it wasn't that
anymore once she flew into it, reducing it to rubble.
"Oww, so much for subtlety...Whoever designed this has some work to do."
Serenity replied, getting up from the pile of ash. Floating there in front of
her, however, was a bottle of lotion. The second of Ami's items!
"Ooh. That, on the other hand...I will take." Serenity finished, grabbing it.
Since she didn't have any pockets, she'd just have to carry it.
Setsuna's reward was rather boring. A bunch of coins. Venus, on the other hand,
received a strange-looking, plunger-like device for her troubles.
"Ooh...do tell, what's this?" She asked, peeking at the tag. It said...
SIZE STEALER - This nifty gadget will shrink an opponent, and give their size to
you! Use it in a disadvantaged state!
"Is that so, Mr. Plunger? I'll make sure to make good use of you, then." Venus
replied, slipping it into a dress pocket.
"Alright, third turn! I can see you three are rather into it... and, begin!"
Mercury proclaimed. The trio rolled their die again: Serenity received an 8,
Setsuna got a lucky 7, and Venus...got a 1.
"Well, that smarts. You all just got lucky, this time!" Venus pouted, walking
her space with a significant powerful STOMP. There wasn't anyone under her foot,
but it left a rather large crater.
"Okay, let's see...Other than Venus, I should still be alone." Setsuna began,
looking around. She was at another intersection: to the left was a fleeing
crown, and to the right stood nothing.
"Hmm...if I don't want followers, I'll do well to make a blockade." She decided,
going right. 1 step, 2 steps, 3 steps...as she went, Setsuna made sure to
demolish everything around her: her toes uprooted and tossed whatever structure
lied on the ground, be it a vehicle or a fire hydrant. The upper half of her
body put in the hours too, Sailor Pluto's strength being enough to rip buildings
from the ground!
"Timber! ...Or whatever you shout when grabbing a building off the ground, I
don't know!" She proclaimed, tearing the poor thing right from its foundation.
She threw it onto the ground behind her, creating an unpleasant pile of rubble
to sort through.
"Whew...you think anyone can walk through that? Well..." Setsuna began. With
that, she rained devastation on the other buildings around them, kicking and
punching the infrastructure until the path behind her was littered with debris.
"Try wading through that." Setsuna finished, walking onto her last space.
"Hmm...also, where's her highness? Was she following me?" The greenette asked,
looking around her. No, there was no sign of her at all...But that meant
Setsuna's turn had ended.
Another bright sphere appeared from the ground, revealing itself to be...a
bottle of blue nail polish!
"Oh...really? Why, this is going better than I anticipated!" Setsuna said,
grabbing the bottle.
With that, only one item remained, and Setsuna didn't who where (or who) it was
with...
"Okay...Is everyone else done?" Setsuna called out.
"Yeah...I only went one, anyways." Venus pouted.
"I'm done, too!" Serenity replied.
"Alright girls, go ahead and roll again." Mercury replied. The girls did just
that: Serenity pulled a 2, Setsuna pulled a 10(!), and Venus pulled a 6.
"Okay. With that said, I'll do well to get as close to Princess Mercury as
possible." Setsuna replied, pacing towards the giant referee. She turned one
block, then the other...only to end up running into a crowd.
"Aww, cripes...I don't want to hurt any of you, but...Oh, maybe I won't have
to!" Setsuna said, an idea forming in her head. She positioned her feet towards
the fleeing crowd, before running as hard as she could.
"I'm not trying to crush you, so don't try to be crushed!" Setsuna proclaimed,
leaping above them all. She landed right on her final space, but not without
(unawaringly) catching a few of them underfoot.
"Alright, now let's see what I receive for my performance..." Setsuna asked,
balancing herself.
As if to answer, a peculiar disk-shaped item popped up from the ground, floating
in front of her.
"Oh...this. Well, what could it be?" She asked, taking a loot at its tag.
SPACE MARKER - Place this marker on a space, and anyone who lands on it will
face an inconvenience...for your benefit!
"Hmm...I presume this may come in handy." Setsuna replied, putting it away.
"Now, I just have to find the final--"
"Hiya, Setsuna!" The aforementioned greenette pirouetted on instinct to face
Serenity, who had somehow snuck up on her.
"Your highness! Why I didn't see you there!" Setsuna replied.
"Oh, that's alright? How's your search going?" Serenity asked, sounding too
innocent to be true.
She was hiding what looked like two things behind her back.
"Well...I haven't found any of them, yet." The greenette lied. It was best to
play conservatively.
"Yes, yes, I imagine...Well, it'd be best if I narrowed down my competition,
wouldn't it?" She asked, raising one of her hands to show a funny looking wand.
"Hmm, I'd imagine. What are you planning?" Setsuna asked. There was something
fishy about this, she just knew it.
"I'm not planning anything...just whatever this wand wants to do!" Serenity
finished, waving it around at Setsuna...Only to instantly flash away in a
teleporting light, leaving a bottle of lotion on the ground.
The queen appeared above the game board, behind a similar (and much larger)
face.
"Hey...what happened? Where am I, now?" She asked, looking down at the board.
"Did I grow? Hmm..." She asked, looking down at her feet. No, she, in fact,
hadn't.
"Ooh, you used that wand, didn't you? Did you know its effects were random?" A
familiar voice asked from behind her. Serenity turned around to face none other
than Princess Mercury, or her giant feet for reference!
"Eek! Hey, what am I doing up here? I didn't break any rules!" Serenity
complained.
"The wand said its effects were random right? It just decided to bring you to
me. And since you're here...go ahead and spin the wheel!" Mercury replied,
snapping her fingers. A large spin-wheel appeared in front of Serenity, who just
shrugged and spun it around. Round and round it went, what it would land on,
nobody knew...until it did, on "Get Crushed by Feet!"
"W-Wait, what?!" Serenity asked dumbstruck.
"Ooh...tough luck, your highness. Maybe next time!" Mercury replied, raising a
foot.
"Hey, that's no fair! I thought using that wand would help me out! Eek!"
Serenity cried as Mercury's foot descended upon her. The bluenette made sure to
shift her foot a little to give Serenity a good massage, for releasing her from
the Iron Fist (or Iron Foot, in this case).
"Ugh...the last time I try playing competitively." Serenity replied as she was
teleported somewhere on the board. Setsuna, meanwhile, had made a very important
achievement.
"Wait a second. One, two, three...Hey, Mercury! I have them all!" Setsuna
shouted.
"Really?! That was fast: I'll have to be quicker, next time!" Venus replied,
crossing her arms.
"Oh, and I lost my little thing?! Hmph. I'll have to doll out some payback for
this..." Serenity complained as she reentered the board.
"Really? That's great, Setsuna! Now come on up here, you get a point!" Mercury
applauded, snapping her fingers. With that, Pluto had been warped right in front
of Mercury's soles.
"Alright, now that you're here...Please get to work!" Mercury asked, flexing her
soles.
"Oh, right. I'm supposed to give you a pedicure. Ugh, I really should've stayed
in bed..." Setsuna replied, promptly getting to work on the giant soles...
Meanwhile, Chibiusa and Hotaru had seen everything unfold from their hiding
place.
"See? Doesn't that look like fun?" Chibiusa asked.
"Hmm...now that I see it in action, it does make a little bit more sense...I
wonder what the next round will be...Also, where's Endymion? They're supposed to
be fighting over him, right?" Hotaru asked.
"I dunno, maybe he's out for the night...Hey, that gives me an idea!" Chibiusa
said, pulling a communication device out of her pocket.
"Let's try getting ahold of Mamo-chan. Then, we may be able to get back to
normal without having to go in there!" Chibiusa suggested.
"If you say so, hopefully, it'll work..." Hotaru replied, leaning in to observe
her friend at work.
"Y'know, Setsuna, I'd congratulate you for winning, but I'm not completely sure
if you're enjoying your prize or not." Venus remarked, she and Serenity
witnessing their friend hard at work from a distance. Setsuna's...not as big
size made it rather difficult to beautify the walls that were Mercury's pedis.
The greenette had already finished using the lotion-covered brush (which was
snug in between two of Mercury's toes) and had almost finished brushing her
nails as well.
"Thank you very much for this, Setsuna...It's been a while since I've been
treated like this, given how hard I work and all. Hopefully, they weren't too
much to handle." Mercury said, eyeing her nails as she congratulated herself.
Whether she liked it or not, the generally timid woman was enjoying her position
of power.
"Yeah, well, there. I've finished. I may be spending my time cleaning your feet
right now, but I'm one step closer to courting my Endymion. Now, what's our next
trial?" Setsuna asked, stepping away from Mercury's feet. As much as she wasn't
a fan of the job, she'd made those feet shine like a work of art (complete with
glittery blue toenails to boot)!
"Yes, of course...Let's see, the way you've been playing it wearing on me,
somewhat...Hold on, how about we switch it up?" Mercury asked, snapping her
fingers yet again as the lifted her feet from the table.
"Wait, what do you mean--WHOA! Aww, here we go again!" Venus said, as all the
three players were lifted off the ground. The cityscape below them faded into a
bright blue light, rearranging itself into a new challenge for the giantesses to
play...Eventually, the bright lights faded,
revealing what appeared to be...three giant foot spas. They were regularly sized
chairs accompanied by small pools at the bottom, with ladders and platforms fit
for a tiny competitor.
"Oh, brother...I can already tell what we're supposed to be doing here." Setsuna
sighed, as the trio softly landed on the ground once more.
"Hmm, you think so? Well, I've been looking at my communication device...I think
some of the others are on their way now." Mercury replied, checking what was
commonly referred to as a "phone."
"Oh, really? Well, I'm glad everybody can attend...but aren't we already
playing? We already started with the three of us..." Serenity began.
"Your highness...I think you're missing the point." Setsuna replied,
facepalming.
"Oh, I know that. You three see these foot spas in front of you?" Mercury asked,
pointing at them with her toes.
"Oh...are we doing what I think we're doing?" Venus asked.
"Yep! When the others arrive, you three will be providing them as much service
at Setsuna did for me! You had your fun as giantesses, so I hope you'll enjoy
the other side of the coin. You've each got a 5-minute time limit to make their
feet look as pretty as possible. It'll start once they sit down, and once
everyone is finished, the sparkliest feet will win! Do you three understand?"
Mercury asked, smiling at her competitors.
"Well, I'm going to be surrounded by giant feet for the rest of the night,
aren't I? If it's for Endymion, I'm going to make him give some attention to
mine once I've won this..." Setsuna proclaimed.
"Ooh, great idea! Once I've won this round and the game, I wonder what nail
polish I want my toes painted..."
"Hey! Well, at least I won't make him give me foot massages! I'll beat the two
of you and shower Mamo-chan with my own love...and hugs!" Serenity proclaimed,
haughtily raising a hand to her chest.
"Well, the others should be arriving any second now. You'll have to wait for
them before you can begin...Or, not! Here they come now!" Mercury said,
motioning over to the opening door. In stepped three more planetary princesses:
those of Jupiter, Uranus, and Mars.
"Hello, you three! How kind of you to come to join us!" Mercury replied.
"Greetings, kitten. Err, I know it's odd that Michiru's not by my side, but she
had business to attend to this evening. Uranus replied.
"Oh, it's not a problem! Really, it's interesting to see you here alone. Say,
Ami...what's going on, here?" Jupiter asked, motioning to the...odd sights
below.
"Oh, this! Yes, I'll admit this looks strange... the story here is, we're
settling a debacle between these three to see who wins Endymion's affections
with one of Chibiusa's games. I'm sure you're all...accustomed to her
fascination with size, as you can see here." Mercury said, showing them over to
the foot spas.
"Wow...I guess I can't help but expect it from Chibiusa." Mars said as the three
caught sight of the tiny competitors.
"Hmm, I didn't know kitten enjoyed being so small." Uranus remarked, leaning
down to get a closer look.
"So, what's the deal here? How do we join?" Jupiter asked, always eager for
competition.
"About that...see, we've already started the game, so it looks like you'll all
just have to spectate this time around. But, we will need your help for this
particular challenge. Go ahead and take your shoes off, and sit in these spas
right here." Mercury directed, the three princesses doing as directed.
"Jeez...look at those feet, they're so big." Venus observed, watching the girls
take off their shoes. Sure, they were normally big at the ladies' sizes, but
Uranus & Jupiters' pedis had to be the biggest of all nine Senshi. The trio
backed away apprehensively as each giantess sat in their seat, raising their
soles just enough to come into view of the competitors.
"Okay, my little competitors! You've got some products to use right there, and
use the ladders to reach the rest of their feet. Ladies, relax and enjoy the
pedicure. Your time begins... now!" Mercury said, beginning a stopwatch she set
as the trio ran to start working as quickly as possible. Meanwhile...
"Still no dice?" Hotaru asked, watching the next challenge begin as Chibiusa
tried reaching Mamoru.
"Good news and bad news...His phone is on, but he's not answering. I think he's
in a meeting." Chibiusa replied, trying again...to the sound of nothing but a
dial tone.
"Great. Hopefully, he answers you soon. Sitting here and watching this go on is
getting kinda boring. Especially the first round, the writing was kinda stale."
Hotaru replied nonchalantly.
"Okay, hopefully I get a response soon..." Chibiusa asked, trying one more time.
Just her luck, with a few rings of the dial tone...
"Small Lady, what is it? I just got out of a meeting, how many times have you
been calling me?" The voice of Endymion spoke through the device.
"Mamo-chan, finally!" Chibiusa responded, jumping for joy.
"*gasp* He answered?!" Hotaru asked, rising from her seat.
"We were wondering when you'd answer! We're in, uh, a bit of a pickle at the
Moon Palace. If you can come and help us, that'd be swell!" Chibiusa replied.
"A pickle? What has your mother gotten you into now?" Endymion asked.
"Ahh, not so much her as much as it was a little mishap. Speaking of her, I
think you've got a bunch of people waiting to see you at home..." Chibiusa
began.
Meanwhile, the competitors were making short work of any blemishes on the
giantesses' soles. Pluto was at it particularly hard, furiously scrubbing her
brush at some lint that had made it onto the brunette's upper sole.
"H-Hey, teehee! Cut it out, that tickles!" Jupiter giggled, scrunching her toes.
Pluto leaned back as quickly as she could, not wanting to get her face caught in
between the mighty digits. She leaped away so fast, she nearly fell off the
platform she was on!
"Yikes...ugh, could you give us less of a hard time?" Setsuna asked, regaining
her balance.
"Sorry...but you guys seem to be doing good, anyways!" The brunette replied.
Serenity, on the other hand, was having a mich lighter time painting Uranus's
toes a nice, deep blue.
"Look at you, all hard at work. Doesn't being a tiny little girl make things
harder?" Haruka asked, coyishly looking down at the blonde.
"Hmm, not at all! And your feet are nicely defined, too. It makes things a lot
easier, despite how big they are!" Serenity replied, having finished the
giantess's last big toe. She could practically see her reflection in the
glittery polish, but now wasn't the time for staring, it was for winning
Endymion! The queen climbed back down to grab her brush, ready to finish the job
by scrubbing Uranus's unnaturally large foot.
"Hey, Jupiter says that thing tickles. Lemme make things easier for you." Haruka
replied, kicking away the platforms. She lowered her massive foot SUPER close to
Serenity, almost at face-level!
"Hopefully that simplifies it. Go ahead, my feet are waiting for your care."
Haruka teased, crossing her arms as she leaned back.
"Teehee...she's really trying, isn't she? This makes my life a whole lot easier,
though!" Serenity said, getting right to work. The distance of Uranus's foot was
like a small ceiling, which made it as simple as raising her arm to scrub for
Serenity.
"Wow, this is a lot easier than expected! Haruka, you're feet are looking better
by the second!" Serenity said.
"Good to hear. Hey, Mars, how're you doing? I can tell Michiru enjoys your
company a lot, so you want to make sure Venus makes your feet look nice." Uranus
replied.
"Oh, she's doing quite alright. Don't overexert yourself, Minako!" Mars called
out to the blonde scrubbing between her toes.
"Don't worry *pant* *pant* I won't...Gee, these feet sure are pretty..." Venus
observed, gazing at the space in between Rei's toes.
"Well, a little kiss won't hurt." Minako replied, planting a small kiss on Rei's
big toe.
"I felt that, weirdo." Mars replied.
"Good, a blessing from the Goddess of Love will make them extra appealing, I
bet! Now, where's that nail polish?" Minako replied, climbing down the ladder.
On the other hand...
"So, let me get this straight. While you were testing one of your projects while
shrunken, Sailor Pluto came in and put the whole thing away with you in it and
traveled through time to get you here." Endymion asked over the phone.
"Yeah...we're sorry we were so careless." Chibiusa admitted.
"Well, stuff like this is bound to happen with all that size-changing, so I
don't see anything to be angry over. What can I do to help?" Endymion asked.
"Hmm...If you could come back and help us get that remote, that'd be fine. Now
that I think about it..." Chibiusa began.
"...You've got a competition for who wants your attention for the night. I think
you may have to decide that for yourself too." Chibiusa replied.
"Okay, I'll see for myself when I get home, I suppose. You'll be waiting for me
on the shelf?"
"Yup!"
"Okay, sit tight, and I'll be there soon. Farewell, you two." Endymion said,
finally logging off.
"...What do you think he's gonna do when he finds a bunch of shrunken women
fighting over him?" Hotaru asked.
"I don't know...Say, a giant Endymion? That sounds like fun, I've never seen
daddy as a giant before..." Chibiusa said, the duo returning to their seats. The
time was finally up, and it was time for a victor to be crowned.
"Okay, ladies, you've all worked hard, hm? Let's see who wins this round."
Mercury replied, the princesses raising their feet on a table to be judged.
"Tonight has been ridiculous...I think this is the last time I'll be up close
and personal with anyone's feet for a while" Pluto mumble, crossing her arms.
"Okay, let's see here...Hey, it's almost a tie. Everybody did so well..."
Mercury remarked, checking for any sign of a blemish on their mighty soles.
"Well, if I had to choose...I'd say Uranus's feet look imposing enough.
Serenity, you get a point!" Mercury declared.
"And just like that, I'm never doing this again." Setsuna replied.
"See, Kitten? You know how to look pretty, and make others look pretty." Uranus
replied.
"I'll say! We're tied, Setsuna!" Serenity cheered.
"Okay, I need a point if I'm going to win this. What's next, Ami? Lay it on me!"
Venus demanded.
"Hmm, let me think..." She began, raising a hand to her chin. She could only
extend these odd challenges so far, and everyone was probably tired of messing
with each others' feet anyways (especially Setsuna)...
"I'm drawing too many blanks, here. Guess I'll have to try something more
straightforward...I know!" Ami said, snapping her fingers again. With that, the
area faded into a bright blue light as it began to rearrange itself yet again.
When it was finished, the contenders saw themselves in a circular, roulette like
an arena. It looked like a dance floor, adorned with a set of six multi-colored
panels like a pinwheel.
"Uh...what's all this?" Venus asked, the contenders looking down at the floor.
"We've already had two rounds, and you've all been doing quite nicely. So how
about this, the final round wins the game, winner takes all!" Mercury suggested.
"Oh, really? It almost seems like you were just in it for free
pedicures...Whatever, what are we doing this time?" Setsuna asked.
"Oh, that's simple. To our late arrivals, I'll have you participate in this as
well!" Mercury replied.
"Oh, really? Then, what's the game, Ami?" Jupiter asked, hands on her hips.
"Well, the rules for this should be straightforward. You three will mark one of
these panels each, and when I spin the wheel, our contenders will make sure they
don't land on them as soon as it stops! If they do, well..." Mercury explained.
"A stomp to the...wel, whole body, I imagine." Setsuna replied. This may have
been fun, but next time people were going to be under HER feet for once.
"Well then, let's get started, everyone! Our three giantesses will go ahead and
mark their panels..." Mercury began, allowing the giantesses to do their thing.
As they did, the panels under the contenders' feet lit up with their planetary
symbols, letting them know what to look out for.
"And...it spins! Good luck, girls!" Mercury finished, spinning the wheel. There
was a barrier between the actual panels and the surface the ladies were standing
on, so they had al the freedom in the world to make sure they were on top...
"Setsuna, can I push you onto one of those panels?" Serenity asked, approaching
the greenette.
"Uhh...no?" She replied, crossing her arms.
"Oh...well, I'll just get to doing this, then!" Serenity replied, picking her
friend up in a bridal carry.
"W-What do you think you're doing?!" Setsuna asked, blushing furiously.
"Minako! Watch out if you want to win!" Serenity warned, ramming into the blonde
with Setsuna in tow.
"What the--Geez! What's gotten into you people?!" She asked, falling to the
ground.
"Well, I'm trying to make sure I don't land on any of those panels! We've gotta
make this quick before--"
"Aaaaand, stop!" Ami finished, bringing the spinning to a stop. When she had,
what do you know, nobody had gotten caught. Yet.
"Ooh, looks like the pressure's on! Nice dodges everyone, even Minako!" Jupiter
cheered, leaning in to look closer.
"Yeah, if you lose, we won't crush you outright. We'll take you to our rooms and
decide what to do with you then!" Mars replied, putting a hand up to her chest.
"Hmm, all the reason to not let her highness sweep me off my feet next time."
Setsuna replied, having escaped Serenity's grasp.
"Alright, next round. Good luck, girls...go!" Ami declared, spinning the wheel
once more.
"Okay...once of us has to lose, so the other can have a 1 on 1!" Venus declared,
the three girls stancing up.
"That won't be me, so you two better get ready for...whatever those three will
do to you. It won't be too bad, I'll make them promise!" Serenity replied.
"*huff* *puff* Well, I'm tired, and I want to get this over with. I'd love to
rest my head on Endymion's shoulder..." Pluto fantasized. Serenity took that as
a lowering of Setsuna's guard and promptly went in to grab her again...Only to
have the exact opposite happen to her, as the greenette promptly got her in an
armlock.
"What makes you think I'll fall for the bridal carry again?! I'll make sure you
lose, this time!" Setsuna said, holding onto her...Only to feel something grab
onto her bosom.
"No...I'll make sure both of you lose!" Venus declared, trying to lift the two
of them up...to no avail.
"Okay... okay...*pant* *pant* Never mind. Give me a second to catch my
breath..." Minako panted. Setsuna wasn't having any of it. She let go of
Serenity and wriggled away from Minako's grasp just as...
"And...stop!" Mercury exclaimed, stopping the wheel. By a lucky chance, no-one
had landed on any of the marked spaces yet again!
"Phew..." Setsuna began, wiping sweat off her forehead.
"Wow...I'm almost considering making a chance to my choice. I do want to take
one of you to my room tonight..." Haruka began.
"Well, make it one of them! Come on Ami, do it again!" Venus called out, pumping
her fist to the air.
"Well, if you say so...we'll do it once more. Ready, set, go!" Ami replied,
spinning the wheel for a decisive last bout. Setsuna began playing defensively,
watching the panels as they went by to stay off of them as long as possible.
Serenity and Venus opted for the sabotage route.
"Hey, Minako! Look, Endymion's here!" The queen said, pointing away.
"Wait, now?! Where--HEY!" Venus cried out, Serenity having grabbed her again.
"Teehee, my distraction worked! Hey, Ami! Stop the wheel, I've got her!"
Serenity exclaimed.
"No, don't do that! That's not playing fairly!" Venus complained, struggling to
break free.
"...Are those two ever going to calm down?" Setsuna asked. Suddenly, an
opportunity came to her mind. With the right play, Endymion would be hers in no
time.
"You want me to stop? Alright, I'll count down. 3...2...1..." Mercury counted.
Setsuna acted quickly, toppling Serenity over with a quick leg sweep!
"Aaaaand, stop!" The bluenette finished, stopping the wheel with a quick grab.
Wouldn't you know it, Setsuna's little plan had worked, leaving her competitors
on none other than Mars's space.
"Wait...what? Aww! No fair!" Serenity pouted, rising from her fall.
"No fair?! You're one to talk...whatever, I accept my loss." Venus replied,
magnanimously (pretentiously) rising to accept her defeat.
"Aww...I would've loved that two for one deal. You got lucky, Rei." Uranus
replied.
"You bet I did! Now I've just gotta figure out what to do with you..." Mars
said, reaching for the duo before the door suddenly opened. The ladies turned to
see a man dressed in purple looking very awkwardly at everyone.
"Err...did I stop by at the wrong time?" Endymion asked, seeming very timid.
"Hey, Mamo-chan! Come and take me away!" Serenity cheered, outstretching her
arms to accept her lover's embrace.
"U-Uhh, Usako?! What's going on, here?" He asked. He knew Chibiusa and Hotaru
had shrunken, but Venus and Pluto, too?!
"Hi there, your highness. We've been waiting for you all night." Jupiter said,
joined by the two other giantesses (Mars grabbing her captives and Setsuna).
"H-Hey! Ask before grabbing me like that out of the blue!" Setsuna complained.
"...Why, you've all gotten...smaller. How did this happen?" Endymion asked,
finally getting a closer look at the ladies. All three of them blushed,
overwhelmingly excited by seeing Endymion's giant face up close.
"Well, it is a long story...I'd love to tell you about it, but maybe somewhere
else." Serenity replied.
"Yeah, in MY room. I just defeated you two, remember?" Setsuna replied.
"Okay, okay everyone...I do have something I need to be doing, so might we save
this for another time?" Endymion asked.
"Oh, we'll help you! Come on, everyone! Let's go help Mamo-chan!" Serenity
replied, the princesses all hurrying him out of Chibiusa's room to vie for his
attention. Chibiusa and Hotaru were completely shocked (and not at the crappy
writing lol).
"Did...Did they just..." Chibiusa began.
"Leave without us?! ...Now, what are we gonna do?" Hotaru asked.
"Hmm...wait, our original plan was to get the remote, remember? Let's go down
there and get it!" Chibiusa replied, the duo turning to face the end of the
shelf...only to see Princess Mercury approaching it.
"Uhh...run for cover instead?!" Hotaru asked, the two backing away. There was no
need for alarm, however, as the bluenette activated her visor as soon as she'd
reached the duo's location. It fired another bright blue light that engulfed
Chibiusa and Hotaru, enlarging them back to their regular sizes!
"Greetings, you two. Did you enjoy the show?" The princess asked, helping the
tykes down.
"Hi, Princess Mercury! ..How'd you know we were up here?" Chibiusa asked.
"Well, I didn't at first. My visor picked you two up when I had entered the
room, however, and with your game on the floor, I anticipated it needed a little
test." Mercury replied.
"Oh, yeah...So, how do you two think that went?" Hotaru replied.
"I think it went perfectly! We must have a lot of data to use now." Chibiusa
replied.
"And that, we do. You can thank my visor for it. So, how about heading into
another room to finish development?" Mercury asked, opening the door. With a
snap of her fingers, everything had been packed away in the briefcase for future
use.
"I'll say! You won't need to ask me, Chibiusa, I want to help perfect the
finished product!" Hotaru replied, walking out the door as Chibiusa picked her
case up.
"Great! Thanks for your help, you two. In no time flat, we'll have a finished
game I can't wait to play!" Chibiusa replied, walking out of her room with the
duo. All she could now think about
was the fun her fellow Sailor Senshi were going to have playing the game. There
were so many possibilities, and maybe Mamo-chan would like a go at it. Yes, this
wouldn't be the last the Senshi had seen of Chibiusa's creativity...
END
