As Prudentius Said....
by papirini
"Mamo-chan."
Mamoru's ears perked up as he heard the words coming from his
lover's lips. He turned around to look at her, to respond, and was
instantly stymied by what he saw.
"Uuuuh...."
"What's the matter, Mamo-chan?" Usagi's breasts, which
had been underneath a shirt and held by a bra only five seconds ago,
were suddenly out and about, their roundness and bounciness almost
throwing a challenge out to him. "You seem....flustered."
Mamoru gave a slight moan as he understood what was happening. He
had been hoping, almost praying, that there would be no effect on
Usagi. The strange monster that had attacked out of nowhere had eight
heads - one real one, and seven fake heads which it quickly sent out
to attack the senshi. All of the senshi attempted to outrun it, and
for awhile, they did a good job.
"....AAH!!"
Then, Sailor Neptune made a mistake. She turned left instead of
right, and the head that was chasing her managed to catch up, seizing
her by the shoulder. Fangs sunk in deeply, causing Neptune to scream
and stumble.
"No!!"
Uranus was quickly by Neptune's side, holding her. As soon as she
did it, something odd happened. As soon as the head made its mark, it
had dissipated, so Uranus was in no danger from it. Stranger still,
there seemed to be no mark on her shoulder after the head
disappeared, not even a tear in her clothing.
"Huh....?" Uranus' eyes slit. "Neptune, what..."
"I....." Neptune shuddered. "An illusion. I'm
ok....I think."
"Meeeheeheeheeheeheehee!!!"
The two looked up to see the monster visibly gloating at them. On
instinct, Uranus held her hand out, allowing her sword to appear. It
didn't seem to faze the monster at all.
"That was no illusion, and it's no use what you do now."
The monster started to step forward. "She's been injected
with the Poison of Prudentius. Soon, her spirit will be filled with
the essence of a deadly sin...and with a little bit of my own. She
will come to serve me!"
"Fat chance." Uranus grit her teeth as she brandished
her sword. "I think it's time to kick your ass."
"Hahahaha!!" The demon only laughed louder. "I
think no-"
The demon was cut off by Uranus' sword. Rather, the demon's head
was cut off.
"...DAMNIT!!!"
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
The rest of the demon's body exploded, blasting Uranus - indeed,
everyone - back several feet. Dust was kicked up all around them,
throwing everyone into confusion.
"Ow!! OW!!"
"Hey, get off my feet!"
"Keep ru-huh, candy!"
Finally, the dust cleared, leaving nine mangled, dusty senshi.
They all looked at one another, looking confused, before looking
around them. The severed head was still there, and the remains of the
demon were scattered about. The six remaining heads, however - the
ones which held the dreaded poison - had disappeared.
"Huuuuh." Sailor Moon's head spun as she held her head.
"I f-feel weird."
"Mmm..." Pluto grasped her rod as she shut her eyes
tightly. "Uranus, good job, but-"
"The other heads." Uranus huffed as she nodded. "I
know."
At this, Mercury took out her computer and began to punch in a few
numbers. Walking over to Neptune, she then activated her visor,
pressing the adjust button as she looked the soldier up and down,
then looked around.
"Sailor Mercury."
"Well....." After several moments of silence, Mercury
turned her visor off. "I have some bad news. The poison is still
in Neptune."
"Shit."
"What about the rest of us?" Jupiter looked at Venus and
Mars, who were simply looking at each other. "Are the heads
still around?"
"...I don't know." Mercury pressed a few more numbers.
"This dust...it's the ashes of the enemy. Even these things seem
to have some type of magical property to them, because it's messing
up my computer. Everyone is reading the same way Neptune is."
"Whaaaat?!"
"Th-that means...." Sailor Moon's eyes bugged out as she
looked around frantically. "We 're all infected?!?"
"...No...." Mercury shook her head. "I just think,
in the confusion, the other demonic heads implanted their essences
into us. The dust is just confusing my readings."
"But....but that still means six of us have each been
injected with a deadly sin!!"
"Not for long," Mercury replied. "My readings are
indicating that the dust is the last remnant of the power; any
long-term effects it might have had if Uranus hadn't killed it was
eradicated. But....just to be on the safe side, for at least one
night we should be wary of our actions. All of us."
"That sounds reasonable." Uranus shook the dust out of
her head. "I know that I'll be watching Neptune, so that's ok."
"One night...!" Minako also fervently nodded. "That's
easy! Right?"
There was a silence at this.
"Um..." Sailor Moon looked sheepishly at the others.
"Um....I have a question."
"What?"
"...Are these sins really going to kill us?"
Everyone moaned at this lapse of reason. It was obvious the
princess had no idea what she was in for.
But fortunately for Usagi, she had already told everyone she would
go to Mamoru's house so he could watch over her in case she was
poisoned. Unfortunately for Mamoru, however, she didn't bother to
inform him of this.
"Let's go, Mamo-chan." With a seductive dance heretofore
unknown to have been done by her, Usagi then proceeded to start
shaking off her pants. "You know you want your mommy...."
Mamoru began to shake at this. Usagi was, quite frankly, starting
to scare him. The strange things she was saying aside, Usagi was not
one to be sexually aggressive. Yet there she was, completely naked,
strolling over to him as casually as one did when walking across the
street.
"Come on! I know you can go all night!" She leaped onto
to him, hissing into his ear. "Don't make me...get nasty
on you."
"Uh...."
Mamoru was really at a loss. His cheerful, innocent, dainty Usagi
was suddenly acting like a brazen prostitute. He didn't know what she
had done before coming to his house; he didn't know what he
had done in the past ten minutes to warrant the change. She had been
completely normal before; in fact, he had just turned around for a
minute to get a napkin while she ate her dinner.
...On the other hand, as frightened as Mamoru was of this new
Usagi, with the fear came curiosity, even a hint of boldness. Mamoru
himself had a few things he had always wanted to act out, but with
Usagi, he would never have even uttered a word of it. Now, for
whatever reason, Usagi seemed ready to boldly go where she had never
gone before; she made this clear when she nipped the lapel of his
neck, drawing blood, and then proceeded to rip off his clothes.
"AI....I mean....sure." Mamoru shut his eyes. He hoped
he wouldn't regret what was going to happen. "I'll...I'll do
whatever you want."
"Good." The sexy lull in her voice suddenly intensified
as she snapped off the last vestiges of his clothing - and, perhaps,
his restraint. "Because I'll make this a night you'll never
forget..."
-------------
The Poison of Prudentius was powerful, but without the monster
controlling the strings, a brief phenomenon, a one-night effect. When
the first light of dawn hit the senshi, in whatever form they were
in, they would suddenly drop to the floor as if dead. In reality, the
poison had lost its effect, and the inherent power the senshi bore
swung into effect, destroying the vestiges of the curse, and with it,
the deadly sin.
Ami woke up the next morning, and went to the nearest bookstore to
purchase a new chemistry book. Despite her precautions, to her shock,
her credit card had been maxed out. Also to her chagrin, she found
that her closet was filled with designer clothing she didn't remember
purchasing - or even liking.
Setsuna woke up the next morning with the worst stomachache in the
history of mankind. Her house was littered with the most disgusting
food she could imagine, food she didn't remember buying. She threw up
several times as a result; the food was so rich that she simply could
not hold it down.
Minako didn't wake up - even though she had slept twelve hours
already. Hence, when she woke up at 5:50 the next evening, she
chalked it up to mere exhaustion, though she wasn't sure why the TV
was on and why on earth Artemis was complaining about her snoring.
After all, she didn't snore!
Rei woke up to an unpleasant shock. It was as if someone had come
in, gotten pissed off at the TV for looking at them wrong, then
punched out the TV, smashed up the bed, ripped up manga and threw all
the clothing out of the drawers and onto the floor. She didn't know
who could have possibly done that, but a certain old man came to mind
as she went to confront him.
Haruka spent the whole night listening to Michiru as she boasted
about all her deeds and accomplishments. No deed was too
insignificant, not even bowel movements. By the end of the night,
Haruka was about to throttle her partner, but to her relief, the
aqua-haired girl suddenly fell aslep at dawn. She woke up remembering
nothing after the battle.
Makoto spent the whole night grumbling about how much she hated
everyone - how they were richer, cooler, had better things. She
decided to plot their public downfall, so she made a giant
four-tiered cake in twelve hours, cackling the whole time about how
jealous everyone would be when they saw her talents. She then slept,
woke up an hour later, saw the cake, and wondered who's birthday it
was.
-
Usagi was completely sore from head to toe when he woke up.
Confused about the soreness, and about her ravished, naked state, she
could only ask Mamoru, as she hobbled into his kitchen, what in the
world he did to her last night.
"...Actually," Mamoru couldn't supress a wide grin. "I
think the question you should be asking is what you
did to me."
THE END
