br />Now They Got Ami
(Sequel to "The Appearance of Giant Chibi(?) Moon")
by Deathworks
"Have you heard the latest? Eudial has failed again."
"The professor will probably be mad at her."
"And she claims to be one of us."
Eudial heard every single word uttered by the shadows in the locker room. She
was getting angry at those arrogant jerks who just didn't know what she had to
put up with. Reminding herself that she would prevail, she managed to calm down.
Yes, the most recent incident was a failure, but it had also given her an idea
which may enable her to get rid of those stupid Sailorsenshi once and for all.
And if it hadn't been for their meddling, Eudial would certainly have completed
the mission by now. Snickering to herself, Eudial arrived at her desk and sat
down. If the doctor would give her the demons she needed, everything would be
just fine.
"And you, my sweet, will finish the job, right?"
Eudial smiled down onto her desk.

Ami was enjoying the evening walking back from the seminar. Things had been
quiet for a few days now, and although they knew that something was up, all the
girls were happy about this respite from the constant fighting. As there was no
word from the enemy, the battles somehow began to fade away behind a comfy fog
of everyday incidents and necessities. Ami just recalled their last meeting
where Usagi and Rei clashed like never before. Still their antics were quite
amusing.
Ami's thoughts were disrupted when a man bumped into her. Before she really had
any time to react, he was up and running again, in a rather odd hurry it would
seem. Turning around, she saw more people heading her way. Immediately, the
tranquility of the past days was gone and Ami recalled her duty to protect her
princess and this world.
When a young woman came by, she quickly stepped in her way and stopped her.
"What's going on?"
"Monsters! Terrible monsters! Let go!"
As the woman continued on her way, Ami grew even more determined to investigate
this incident. As the number of people heading towards her decreased, she was
able to see some red shimmering ahead where there should be a plaza. Carefully
making her way past the last few civilians, she reached its edge. There she was.
Eudial, together with two spider- like demons. And she was firing around with
that freaky gun of hers rather wildly. Most shots disappeared harmlessly on
walls and trees surrounding the plaza, but there were also a few bodies lying
around, their heart crystals floating above them.
Quickly, Ami hid in an entrance and activated her wrist communicator.
"Eudial has appeared. She is in the middle of town shooting around like a
madman. I will try to keep her busy."
Turning off the communicator, Ami looked down and concentrated. She knew she
wasn't very strong, but she knew that this was her duty and that she could do
it.
"Mercury Planet Power Make Up!"
Sailormercury turned towards the plaza, her eyes filled with determination.
+++
Eudial was losing her patience. Where were those brats? Usually they showed up
just as she zapped a single guy, but now she has been pulling the trigger so
often that her finger was hurting, but no sign of the pests yet. Could they
somehow have found out about her plan? No way, after all, even the doctor didn't
know the details. Well, that's typical Murphy's law for you.
"Having the water planet as my guardian star, I am the warrior of knowledge,
Sailormercury!"
Eudial nearly sighed in relief as she finally heard those words. Instead, she
slowly turned around to face the enemy.
"You are late! DEMONS!"
Without hesitating the two ugly beasts ran towards Sailormercury, their long,
hairy arms raised and their mouths opened in howling screams. Seeing the danger
approaching, the girl instinctively went in a defensive combat position but then
quickly shifted into the beginning of her attack. As she closed her eyes, she
didn't notice the broad smile spreading across Eudial's face. She concentrated
all her strength, took a deep breath and ... At that moment, another demon broke
through a window right next to her, grabbing her before she could start her
attack or even turn to face it. Although its arms were pitifully thin, it had
incredible strength and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't get
loose.
"Let go of me."
"My, my, my. Now we are not the powerful warrior, are we? "
Slowly, Eudial walked over to her captive savoring every single moment of this.
It would be easy to dispose of that stupid brat right now, but that would
probably not be enough to get rid of the others. No, although the thought was
tempting, Eudial decided that it would be best to stick to the original plan.
As she arrived at Ami's side, she bent down, bringing her face close to Ami's.
Looking at her from her right side, she continued.
"It seems as if your friends have abandoned you this time. Too bad. But you know
what? There is someone I want you to meet : Terror Bug!"
Raising her right hand, Eudial held something before Ami's face. Though she had
trouble focusing at an object that close to her, Ami still saw enough to stop
breathing for a second. The thing was black and silver and looked like a big
beetle. There were two small red dots on his head, which seemed to be its eyes
and it glittered as if covered in some liquid or something. Slowly, it raised
one of its legs which ended in a relatively long claw. But all in all, it was
about 5cm in length and stood just over 1 cm tall.
"What ... are you up to?"
"Well, Terror Bug here was hoping to become real close friends with you. Really
close. Hohohoho!"
"???"
"Demon! Now!"
The creature that had been holding Sailormercury's arms suddenly released
electric energy. Bolts of lightning shot all across Ami's body which twisted and
bent in agony. She opened her mouth wide in a scream echoing over the entire
plaza. This had been the moment Eudial had been waiting for.
"now!"
The bug-like thing unfolded its wings with a metallic sound remniscient of a
sword being drawn. Then it started buzzing with them until it rose into the air.
Quickly, it rushed towards Ami and disappeared in the cavity of her mouth.
Seeing this, Eudial nodded at the spider thing which stopped its attack, leaving
only the smell of burnt hair and the nearly unconscious warrior in its arms as
evidence.
Gulp
It was just a small movement, a reflex really, but Eudial's triumph was perfect
as she saw Ami swallow. She bent down to look at her face again, this time using
her left hand to raise Ami's head which had been hanging down ever since the
attack. There seemed to be recognition somewhere in these eyes, but instead of
determination or anything there was only exhaustion in those clouded orbs.
"Now, you have ensured my success my dear."
Eudial began going through Ami's hair with her right hand as if petting her.
"What ...?"
"Ah, don't worry. YOU will be fine."
Having said that, Eudial gave Ami a light kiss on her brow and then retreated.
As she winked with her hand, the demon released Ami from its claws, allowing her
lifeless body to fall to the ground. Then the creatures left along with their
master.
+++
As Sailormoon and the others arrived at the site, a few people were beginning to
move closer towards the plaza. Though everything seemed quiet now, fear and
worry were clearly dominating their faces, often mixed with curiosity, however.
Stepping into the open, the Senshi immediately saw the glittering heart crystals
which were only reluctantly returning to their rightful places. And in the
foreground those two misfits Uranus and Neptune kneeling around Mercury's form.
Uranus was actually holding her torso in her arms and trying to speak to her.
"Ami!"
Ignoring everything else, Usagi rushed forward to embrace her fallen friend. She
was crying while looking at Ami's unconscious form. She was slightly started
when feeling something touch her shoulder, but then was comforted by seeing
Tuxedo Kamen kneeling down next to her. She didn' really notice Chibi- Usa
clinging to his other arm, concern for her friend not allowing for childish
rivalries.
"What did you do to her?"
Makoto moved towards Uranus and Neptune in a threatening manner, backed by Venus
and Mars, all of them ready to start a fight. While Uranus still held Mercury in
her arms, Neptune stood up and went into a fighting pose, prepared to meet any
challenges.
"We didn't do anything; we arrived just a few seconds before you and found
things like this."
Neither side showed any sign of retreating, angry looks on the girls' faces as a
groaning disrupted the growing dispute. More tears welled up in Sailormoon's
eyes as she saw her friend coming to.
"Ami!"
"What happened to you?"
Usagi was a bit confused by how cool and untouched Tuxedo Kamen's voice sounded.
His face did not betray any feelings as he examined Ami who was beginning to
recover. But there was fresh sweat on her face and she was breathing
irregularly.
"Eudial...ha ... shot the people...ha ... demons ambushed... couldn't stop...
ha"
"It's alright, Ami. Don't worry, everything will be - Ami!?!"
"Aargh!"
Ami closed her eyes as her body shuddered in a fit. Tears were running down her
reddened cheeks mingling with the sweat as she released a scream of agony. As
the Senshi looked at her in horror, her size suddenly doubled. Surprised by this
sudden change in weight and balance, Uranus let her slide down from her knees
onto the ground.
"Quick, we have to get the people out of here!"
Venus was the first to overcome the shock and realize what needed to be done. As
Makoto and Mamoru joined her running towards the middle of the plaza, Usagi was
still transfixed next to the twitching body, now holding her hand and calling
her name again and again. Chibi- Moon hesitated at first, but finally turned
around and followed Minako and the others. Then it happened again, a scream
accompanied by Mercury's body bending to its limits followed by her size
increasing again. Amazement was replaced by realization and Uranus and Neptune
nodded at each other before joining the others pulling the lifeless people away
from Ami. All who remained were Usagi and Rei who was just as helpless about
Usagi as Usagi was about Ami.
"Aaah..." - Wamm - "Ugh!" - "Usagiii!"
As Mercury's body grew yet again, she threw around her hands violently, hitting
Usagi in the torso. Caught by surprise, Sailormoon was thrown back a few meters.
Rei was immediately at her side.
"There is nothing we can do right now, so we better get away from her right
now."
"But... but..."
"I understand, but if Ami hurt you now, she would feel bad as well. You don't
want that either, right? So, come now."
"... Yes..."
As she talked gently to her, Rei began stroking Usagi's hair as an older sister
would do to calm a crying child. Slowly pulling Sailormoon along, she retreated
to the street.
+++
A few minutes later, the place was completely abandoned except for Ami who had
grown to about 150m in size, filling the entire space. Fortunately, the growth
seemed to have stopped, just before she would start bashing into the buildings
surrounding her. Her breath was still quick but not irregular and there were no
signs of twitching as she began looking around, obviously not really aware of
all that had happened.
"What ... ? The pain ... stopped ...? Where ... WHAT!!!"
As Mercury moved her head to see all her surroundings, her eyes suddenly lost
the daze they had but moments before as realization spread through her mind.
In the meantime, Mamoru was doing his best to reassure the police officers.
"...So, we are to keep people away and cover this whole thing up? And you will
not tell us anything about it but that this is an accident and only
temporary..."
"...Well, yes, even if I told you the entire story, you wouldn't believe
it.(^_^;;; She doesn't mean any harm, but if people got too close, they might
get hurt accidentily."
"Alright, I guess it can't be helped. Even now I don't know what to write in the
report without sounding ridiculous. Just try to be quick about it. (^_^;;;"
"Thank you, officer.m(_ _)m"
Mixed feelings were on Tuxedo Kamen's face as he returned to the girls; he was
glad that things had went relatively well with the police, though he didn't like
the thought that he had to reveal his personal data in conjunction with such an
incident.
The Sailorsenshi were just standing there, at the edge of the plaza, unable to
do anything but watch as their now colossal comrade slowly stood up. Uranus and
Neptune had once more disappeared during the final phase of Ami's growth.
Mercury's face looked pale, and it took her quite a while to rise to a standing
position. Her movements seemed insecure, weak, and she nearly fell down during
the process, sending a shout of fear through the people nearby.
Her legs still shaking, her standing form was still a very impressive sight.
Even the largest building surrounding the plaza would just barely reach her
thigh while the others didn't even make it to her knees. By now, a croud of
spectators had gathered, making it difficult for the police to keep people from
actually entering the square. Seeing Ami's full size and realizing it, some
people dropped to their knees, others started praying, while some even ran away
or cowered on the ground.
"If it worked for Chibi- Usa, it might work for me as well, so here ...
"Argh!!"
While considering her options, Mercury prepared herself to cancel her
transformation returning to her normal form (and hopefully size) as Mizuno Ami.
However, her thoughts were interrupted by pain ripping through her torso as if
someone was trying to cut her apart from the inside. It was realesed (together
with her fear) in a terrible cry as she lost her balance and tumbled to the
right.
Seeing the human collosus suddenly cry out loud and then falling towards them,
the people to her right started to panic, running away screaming and trampling
those who weren't fast enough or had tripped. No matter how cute the girl was,
getting squashed under her gigantic form couldn't find any friends.
Just as suddenly as the pain had started, it subsided again, just like a flash
of lightning going through her body. It was replaced by a slight feeling of
numbness - and the sensation of falling! Instinctively, she reached out with her
arm so as to keep herself from hitting the ground. Her hand impacted on the
pavement sending shock waves through it that shattered the last windows that had
survived the previous incidents. In fact, the tremendous force was big enough to
drive her hand right through the surface, digging a hole maybe 10m deep before
coming to a halt. However catastrophic this last- minute maneuver had been for
the plaza, it had keep her from impacting on the buildings lining one of the
streets leading towards the square. As it was, her head was now only a few
meters if not less away from those buildings' rooves as the last people were
trying to get away from the endangered street.
Carefully shifting her weight back towards her legs and thus the center of her
space, Mercury was able to return to a squatting position. Then she examined her
body and her surroundings, sweat showing on her face and a worried gleam in her
eyes.
"Nothing has changed... Good.
The realization that whatever had caused that last attack of pain had not done
any further changes to her body made Ami release a sigh of relief, sending a
hot, humid breeze through the street in front of her which left everything
covered with a sheet of liquid.
Activating her computer, Ami began to analyze the situation. Except for her
being 100 times as big as usual, there was nothing extraordinary about her when
compared with her usual form as a Sailorsenshi. No hint of whatever had caused
her to grow or had caused that terrible pain. But then, she found it, an unusual
energy concentration. Quickly checking the numbers and changing to another
window, she got the answer.
"This ... can't be... inside my ... stomach!?!?!?!?!"
+++
The other Senshi had been in a street in front of Ami as she had stood up. No
matter how much this was their trusted comrade, seeing her standing half as tall
as the Tokyo Tower right before them definitely caused awe in all of them.
Everyone held their breaths as she finished standing up and thus making her size
clearly visible for the first time.
Looking up, Sailormoon and the others were able to see Ami's face. It was
obvious that she was thinking about her options. As she began to move her hands,
they all realized that she was going to end her transformation. The incident
with Chibi- Usa not being that long ago, they all remembered that this had been
a sufficient cure for the giant size then.
"ARGH!!"
"Ami!"
"Amiiii!"
"Usagi!"
They were startled when Ami suddenly released a loud cry, her body momentarily
stiffening before falling to the side like some piece of freshly cut lumber.
Usagi immediately started off towards the giantess. Having always been careful
so as to keep an eye on her friend, Rei's response came quickly and strongly as
she lurged forward and tackled Sailormoon, sending both of them onto the ground.
"Ouch!"
"Ugh!"
DA DONK! kiri kiri
"Kya!"
"Wow!"
Just as Usagi began to struggle against Rei lying on her, there was a thundering
noise and the ground shook as if a bomb had exploded next to them. Some people
even lost their footing and fragments of glass were falling into the streets as
the windows in the surrounding buildings shattered.
Twisting her head back as far as possible, Sailormoon was able to see that Ami
had been able to stop her fall the very last second. Just now, she was moving
again, shifting her torso back towards the plaza until she was squatting in its
center.
Usagi was startled as she felt movement on top of her. Watching Ami, she had
completely forgotten about Rei lying on her. As she turned her head to face Rei,
she saw her smiling down at her while getting off.
"You won't do anything stupid, okay."
"Un."
"HA"
"Yuk!"
"Eech!"
After standing up, Rei knelt down again, to help Usagi get up. As they were
standing there, they heard a loud howling or something, accompanied by a warm
and wet wind. Their hair and clothes wet and sticky, they turned to see Ami
starting to type things into her computer.
"Usagi. Rei. Are you alright?"
Usagi had totally forgotten about Makoto and the others also being there. As Ami
seemed to be alright, they had come up to Rei and Usagi, all drenched as well.
"It looks like this is going to be more difficult than before. ..."
"... Well, we should get in contact with her then. I will call you when I am
ready."
Turning away towards Mercury, Jupiter left Minako and the others standing there,
boldly (?) walking ahead.
"THIS ... CAN'T BE... INSIDE MY ... STOMACH!?!?!?!?!"
+++
Looking at the screen, Ami's face went white. Hoping that she had made some
mistake, she checked the numbers again, then looked through all examinations the
computer had done. But no matter how many times she checked, the machine left no
doubts about what it was telling her. There was still a demon around, and it was
sitting right inside her stomach! Although being as near to her as possible,
there was nothing she or anyone could do. She was utterly helpless against it,
completely at its mercy.
"No, I can't give up that easily. There has to be a way. I am sure of it. Ara?
Trying to shake off the dark thoughts welling up in her mind, Mercury looked
away from the screen she had been staring at. Some movement right in front of
her caused her attention. It seemed as if someone had walked up to her and was
doing something she couldn't quite make out. In order to get a better view, she
bent forward.
"Jupiter!? ... I understand."
+++
Makoto scolded herself. Though talking with so much self- confidence,
approaching that colossus in front of her was making her legs wobbly, and there
was even some sweat mingling with the sticky wetness covering her face.
"What are you afraid of? This is Ami, your friend. You know she could never hurt
anyone, and she really needs your help now. Get a grip of yourself.
Stopping square in front of the giantess, Jupiter looked up. She was still
several meters away from the huge form, so as to ensure that Ami would see her
once she looked up from the computer she was wildly typing at.
"AAAA - miiii!! AAAA - miiii!!!"
There was no reaction as Makoto shouted Mercury's name. Realizing that the
difference in size was just too great for Ami to hear her right now, Jupiter
stopped shouting and began waving her arms. As she saw Ami's fingers ending
their dance over the keyboard, Makoto began jumping up and down as well, so as
to become even more visible. Finally, Mercury began to raise her head and then
ceased her motion as her eyes focused on Makoto.
"She has seen me. Now to get a lift.
Instead of simply waving, Makoto now began raising one hand repeatedly while
pointing at her ear. Then she held her hands before her mouth as if shouting,
only to start that routine anew.
"JUPITER!? ... I UNDERSTAND."
Mercury had bent forward so as to get a better view of her comrade. As she
confirmed her friend's success, she carefully lowered her right hand to the
ground only a few meters away from Makoto.
Jupiter felt every breath Ami took as a breeze moving away from her and then
back again. As Mercury spoke, it was like booming thunder, although her face
looked as if she was only whispering it. The blasts of wind that accompanied the
words nearly made Jupiter loose her footing, but she tensed her muscles and
stood strong.
With this in mind, Makoto was quite surprised how quiet and gentle she had
lowered her hand to the ground. Quickly, Jupiter walked up to it. With the hand
resting firmly on its back, each finger seemed 1.5m broad and 1.5m tall to
Makoto, who climbed onto it after only a moment's hesitation. Once atop of it,
she looked around, amazed by the view. It seemed as if she was looking at the
hand through a looking glass. She could see the individual threads making up the
glove reminding her of cables. And below that net, she could make out Ami's pale
flesh the heat of which was radiating all the way up to her. But the glove was
not perfectely clean as smaller and larger bits of concrete had been caught in
its threads. Makoto couldn't help but shudder as she recalled the booming noise
as this very hand had dug itself deep into the street.
She lost her footing as the ground began to move. Sitting on the palm of Ami's
hand, Makoto felt as if in a starting air plane. Looking at the quickly moving
buildings around her, she realized she was not only going up, but also moving
forward. Then, only a few seconds later, the movement stopped, the sudden
acceleration shaking Jupiter's entire body. Turning around to face Ami, Makoto
first only saw a thick wall of black ropes. Continuing her examination, she saw
it replaced by flesh. And there it was, the tunnel of Ami's ear.
Jupiter took a deep breath. It was not as if she hadn't done this kind of stunt
before. But when she had contacted Chibi Moon, Usagi's life had been in danger
and every little delay could have doomed her. Now, there wasn't that feeling of
urgency, no rush of adrenaline. Thus, there was more than enough space for
claustrophobia to raise its head.
"You have to do this. You owe this to your friend.
Overcoming her hesitation, Makoto walked over Ami's hand. When she reached her
head, she got on all fours since the tunnel ahead of her was only a little more
than 1m high, definitely not big enough for her to stand up. Swallowing down
hard, she began to crawl in.
The flesh beneath her hand and feet was soft, giving way whenever she shifted
her weight. Somehow, it seemed even softer than the threads of the gloves,
though this seemed rather unlikely. It was hot, really hot, as Ami's warmth came
from all around Makoto. Actually, breathing was mostly hindered by the
temperature and not by Ami's sweet smell that permeated it all. Blocking off
what little light had previously been able to enter with her own body, Jupiter
was crawling forward in utter darkness. If it hadn't been for the warmth and the
sensation of the soft flesh beneath her, she could just as well have been in
space. As she slowly moved on, her searching hands touched fine hairs which bent
to make way for her.
Finally, figuring that she was in deep enough so as not to fall out if Ami moved
or anything, Makoto lay down in a comfortable position (as comfortable as lying
inside a friend's ear can be, that is) and gave it a try.
"Ami! Can you hear me?"
"...YES ..."
Ami's answer resounded through Jupiter's body. Everything around her had started
moving as Sailormercury gave shape to the sounds. She really felt at ease when
things calmed down after Mercury had finished her comment. However, she had to
go on, make it count.
"Listen, Ami. I will do the talking, and you simply respond with single words.
Understood?"
"YES"
Makoto really hoped that she wouldn't have to ask too many questions; her
stomach just needed too much time to recover from each answer.
+++
As Jupiter climbed onto her hand, Ami couldn't help but marvel at how small she
seemed. Although the cloth of her gloves was very thin, she could hardly feel
Jupiter moving around on her hand. With this in mind, she remembered how Chibi
Moon had swallowed Usagi by mistake.
"Swallowing someone whole without noticing it had somehow seemed absurd. But
now, I can't really feel Makoto walking on the palm of my hand. Everything is so
tiny - so vulnerable. If I am not careful, I could easily hurt people, or even
kill them. Even my friends. What should I do if something like that happened? Or
if there was no cure? ...... I have to snap out of it. This is no time to
despair.
Seeing that Jupiter was standing in the middle of her hand, Mercury carefully
lifted it towards her ear. Pressing it against it, she began to wait. She didn't
notice any movement. Had Makoto falled off? Fear began to rise in her, and she
began to hold her breath. Just then, she felt some tickling in her ear.
Something was crawling around in it. Ami found it hard to concentrate as both
the urge to laugh and the urge to scratch her ear tried to get the better of
her.
After what seemed like ages to her, the movement stopped.
"Ami! Can you hear me?"
The voice was weak and distant. It lacked all the strength she associated with
her comrade. Still, there was something incredibly comforting in the fact that
she was able to hear her, know that she was there for her. Awakening from her
joy, Ami realized that she hadn't answered Jupiter's question yet.
"Yes"
Knowing that Jupiter would hear all she would hear, Mercury spoke as softly as
she could.
"What is this like for Makoto? Especially given her strength, it will probably
feel odd for her to be lifted by me with a single hand and to actually lie
inside my ear. At least it is a strange situation for me.
"Listen, Ami. I will do the talking, and you simply respond with single words.
Understood?"
There was that tiny voice again. It really didn' fit in with the image of
Makoto's strong arms which had scared both her fellow class mates and the demons
they had encountered. It was nothing but cute.
"Yes"
"Well, communication is established, so now we only need to find a solution for
this mess.
+++
Quite some time later, all the Senshi knew about the details of Ami's
predicament. By now, a real crowd had gathered around the plaza. Reporters
mingled with common folks and the Japanese Self Defense Forces were also there.
In the end, a lot of commotion without anyone being able to do anything. Big
search lights had been positioned in all roads leading towards the scene, their
pale light making Ami look ghostly white.
However the most annoying thing were probably the helicopters circling the area,
their lights blinding Ami's eyes time and time again. And even with them being
so small, their constant sirring was making all concentration impossible. But
there was little Ami could do about them. If she were to wave her hand at them,
there would be no telling what disaster she could cause.
"I agree with Minako. ... Yes, I know, but we have to do it. ... Alright."
"I wonder what they are talking about. If only I could think of a reasonable way
to solve this problem. I am the brain of the team. Of course, what a fine brain
I turn out to be.
Waiting through the other's discussion was hell for Ami. It might have been
better had not Makoto been in her ear. While she couldn't hear what the others
said, she caught Makoto's answer. It seemed as if they were getting somewhere,
but she couldn't hear what it was.
"Alright. You get mine, I'll tell her. Okay. ... Ami!"
"HA!?"
"Ah! Ami!"
"AH. SORRY. YOU ALRIGHT?"
Makoto suddenly addressing her startled Ami, making her twitch. Though only a
little movement to Ami, it sent Jupiter flying in all directions. Fortunately,
the walls of the tunnel were soft enough to avoid any real injury (though Makoto
was sure she got some bruises at that moment). Though it hurt, Jupiter was
befuddled rather than really angry.
"I'm fine. Listen, we are going in and destroy that demon."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!"
"Calm down. Please."
Hearing of the other Senshi's absurd decision, Ami forgot all caution and
shouted out her reply. Accordingly, Makoto's head felt as if it would explode.
As she called out to Ami, her voice sounded distant, as if not her own. Ami had
thought of that option, of course, but if anything went wrong, it would lead to
her digesting her friends! She could kill Usagi, Rei and the others. No, there
had to be some safer way to get rid of her size - or herself.
"Listen. We know it is dangerous, but it is the only way we can save you.
Besides, it had worked with Chibi- Usa, why shouldn't it work with you?"
"BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO FIGHT THAT TIME!"
"It's alright, we will put on some extra clothes to buy us some time. Trust us,
please."
"......UN."
"Okay. Now, when the others get back, we will attach a rope to your teeth, climb
down to your stomach, destroy the demon, and climb back out. All you have to do
is give us a lift up and down and otherwise stay still, no matter what happens.
Everything will be alright. Okay?"
"...UN."
Deep inside, Mercury had her doubts. Makoto and the others, they had always been
covering her, always helping her. And now they were putting their lives on the
line just because of her shortcomings. It was all her fault, and still they were
supporting her. She really didn't deserve this. Tears began streaming down her
face. All in all, she looked rather miserable, puzzling the crowd far down
below.
+++
"Okay. The others are back. Give me a lift down; I will put on the clothes, then
we climb onto your hand and you lift us up to your mouth. And then you just
wait. Don't worry, we will be fine."
Makoto began to wriggle back towards the exit of the ear. Although Ami was
feeling sick of worry, she nearly started giggling, as the tiny body kept on
tickling her. Finally, it stopped. Then she felt a gentle touch on her hand
which she had raised to her ear again after hearing Jupiter's commands.
Slowly, she lowered the hand to the ground. Though the strong lights were
blinding her, she watched as Jupiter climbed off to meet the others who entered
the plaza at that very moment.
+++
Waiting in the warm darkness of Ami's ear for the others to return, Makoto had
broken out into a sweat. Even waving her hands couldn't pull in fresh air so
deep inside.
"Makoto!"
"Minako. Are you back?"
"Yes, we are making our way to the plaza right now. We got all we need, so we
will proceed as planned. You better get ready yourself."
"Okay. The others are back. Give me a lift down; I will put on the clothes, then
we climb onto your hand and you lift us up to your mouth. And then you just
wait. Don't worry, we will be fine."
Having said that, Makoto rose a bit, just enough to be able to move backwards.
Slowly, she slid back over the soft flesh, brushing along the fine hair
sprouting from it. The bruises ached, and her muscles complained about the
sudden activity after the long period of rest. But the prospect of the fresh air
outside, the freedom, was more than enough motivation to keep her going.
Finally, she felt a cool breeze touch her legs, then her back, which was when
her feet found a step. Turning around, she was able to see the bright lights
pointed at the hand which was at the ear's exit again. She slid half way out of
the ear sitting on its edge. Her clothes drenched in sweat, the cold night air
made Makoto shiver. Quickly, she jumped onto the hand, and started stretching
her muscles. Though she had expected it, the movement of Ami's hand caused her
to lose her balance again. Trying to ignore the odd feeling in her stomach, she
continued her exercises.
"Makoto!"
"Usagi!"
Climbing down from the hand which was now resting on the ground, Jupiter saw
some people approaching her. Since all the lights were pointing her way, they
were but vague shadows closing in quickly. For a moment, the shadows seemed to
distort, but then, Usagi's voice called her back from her revery.
Makoto nearly lost her balance as Usagi jumped at her and embraced her. That
child would never really change. Now that they had reached her, the shadows had
become her friends, sort of. All of them wore rain clothes, big boots, and
seemingly thick trousers as are used for fishing. Rubber gloves and ski goggles
completed the weird get- up.
"Put these on. They will give us a little bit of time, but we still need to be
careful. We will have to really stick together and look out for each other once
we get inside."
Carrying a large coil of cable and a big flash light, Mamoru joined the girls.
His mood seemed specially grim and there was something in his voice that did not
allow for any delays. Makoto took the bundle Minako was holding out to her and
began putting on the unwieldy clothes.
Mamoru looked up at the huge form in front of them, then scanned the ragtag band
around him. His eyes came to rest on Chibi- Usa, who was hardly looking human,
hidden almost completely by the gear.
"Chibi- Usa, you don't have to go, really. We will be ..."
"No, I will go and save Ami. I am a Sailorsenshi, right? So I will be strong and
fight."
"Chibi- Usa. ..."
"I will go."
"Alright then. Let's go."
Without looking around, Mamoru walked towards the gigantic hand that was still
resting on the pavement. The others followed him, although Makoto actually
hadn't put on her second boot completely. Feeling the general urgency, she
jumped on one leg while trying to pull up the boot with her hands. Reaching
Ami's hand, she was able to get into the it so that she wouldn't have trouble
climbing the obstacle. The scene was really bizarre. There they were, all the
Senshi and Mamoru, standing on the palm of Ami's hand.
+++
"Do they really understand what they are about to do? Do they really see the
risk? They are trying to help me, but if anything happens to them ... But I
can't really stop them. They are determined to do this. What should I do?
Ami felt extremely uneasy looking at the small figures moving around on the
ground before her hand. She couldn't hear anything they might have been talking
about, and thanks to the odd clothes they were wearing, any actions of them
would be invisible. Thus all Ami could do was wait and ponder the different
aspects of her problem. She knew the others all too well. If she wanted to stop
them she would have to use force. But as things were right now, her using force
would cause them injury, no matter how gentle she would be. Thus, she had run
out of options.
Finally, the group began approaching her waiting hand. One after the other, they
climbed onto it. With their entire bodies covered, Ami couldn't tell who was
who. But then again, what would have been the meaning for her anyway. There was
no use stalling them, they might do something stupid, so Ami gave in to her fate
and started to lift them up.
Shifting her torso back into an upright form, Mercury tried to find a
comfortable sitting position she could maintain over the next minutes or even
hour. After all, there was no telling how long the entire operation would take.
She didn't even really know what the others were up against since the data she
had been able to retrieve was rather sketchy. At the same time, she started
raising her hand as slowly as possibly, so as not to lose her tiny passengers.
As it aproached her face, she swallowed hard then opened her mouth slightly.
With her hand moving towards her mouth Ami found it more and more difficult to
keep it level. Again and again she started tilting it automatically as her arm
resisted the odd position she had in mind for it. But somehow, she managed to
reach her mouth without anyone falling of. Pressing her hand so hard against her
lip as to rub it against her front teeth, Ami began waiting. It didn't take long
until she noticed some slight sensation on the tip of her tongue. Concentrating
all her strength, she forbid herself to make any movement. It was at this point
that she realized this would be a very long night.
+++
Although Ami was obviously doing her best to make this a slow ride, it still was
a strange feeling. Makoto noticed though, that Mercury was getting better at it.
The others didn't seem troubled at all. Chibi- Usa and Usagi walked towards the
edge of the hand as soon as it started moving and enjoyed the view. Rei had
followed them shouting at her friend. Mamoru and Minako didn't seem to pay any
attention to the others on the hand as their heads were turned towards Mercury's
body which was flying by like an absurd landscape. The hoods of their rain coats
pulled low over the ski masks, their features disappeared in utter darkness. And
the wide clothes would hide any small movements that could be betray their
thoughts.
It was not a perfect ride, though. From time to time, the ground would start
tilting, making everyone fight keep their balance. Fortunately, it never took
long for things to return to normal as Ami's watchful eyes noticed her mistake.
Still, those phases were enough to keep the Senshi alert and aware that they
weren't here for their amusement.
Finally the movement stopped. Looking around, Makoto was able to see the roofs
of the surrounding buildings. They were quite high up now. Turning away from the
cityscape, she saw the enormous background of Ami's face, a broad wall of white
flesh, everything cut out sharply by the lights pointed at her. And there, right
ahead, was the mouth, a gaping hole ready to devour them all. The opening stood
two meters tall and several meters wide and was lined by lips that were only
slightly darker than the surrounding flesh. The inside consisted of utter
blackness, only disrupted by a patch of flesh in the roof of the mouth brightly
illuminated by the light entering the mouth. A crimson ghost inside the night.
"Yes, Ami never applied strong cosmetics. Always shy. Having her fight those
monsters has always been somewhat out of character for her. But now her looking
like Godzilla. It's just wrong. ... Well, I better get going then.
Makoto joined the others who had started to climb into the dark cavern. Although
compressed by the hand, the lip was still more than 50cm broad. It was followed
by the teeth, which were about 30cm broad and surrounded the tongue which lay in
utter darkness a meter below as their searching feet found out. As Makoto
entered, she noticed that it was not quite as hot as inside the ear. Ami's
breath kept the air in constant motion. A rather cold wind entered behind the
Senshi and was then replaced by a warm and humid one going out only to return
moments later.
Suddenly, a stream of light cut through the night as Mamoru turned on the flash
light. moving it around, he inspected the huge cavern they were in. The walls
were red glistening with moisture. The teeth formed two rows of fences opposing
each other while the ground slowly rose towards the back until there only was
but a meter between it and the roof.
Without any comment, he handed the lamp to what seemed to be Usagi, and took the
cable from his shoulder. It seemed very heavy and was made of several
intertwined metal strands which themselves were composed of finer strands. It
ended in a cap with a steel loop. Walking to the side of the mouth, Mamoru began
to losen some length of it. After some examination, he knelt down in front of
Ami's teeth and shoved the rope in a little gap between two teeth and the flesh
they protruded from. After moving quite a length of it through, he dropped the
rest of the cable and climbed over the teeth into the space between them and the
cheek. Soon thereafter, the end of cable re- appeared in the next gap, covered
by some yellow slime. Climbing back into the main part of the mouth, Mamoru
produced a grappling hook from somewhere in his clothes and attached it to the
loop. Then he bent the cable so that he could catch it with the hook, embracing
the tooth in a tight snare. The hook firmly entangled in the cable itself, he
tested the stability of the construction carefully before picking up the rest of
the cable and heading towards the back of the cave.
Makoto and the others had watched him in silence all the time. Although she
wasn't able to see any of the faces, Jupiter had come to the conclusion that it
was Rei or Minako who was holding the light. Usagi herself was easy enough to
identify, her not standing still for a single, always walking around, touching
things (well, probably pushing them, since touching was rather pointless given
that thick rubber gloves covered her hands) in her typical, childish manner.
As Mamoru neared the top of the tongue he had to get on all fours to proceed.
The girls followed him at a short distance. While the ground did give a little
bit, the slippery wetness that covered it had greater impact on their climbing.
Makoto nearly lost her footing twice and she saw how Usagi fell down and slid
back a meter before being able to stand up again. The force of the wind grew
stronger the higher they got and when Jupiter reached the top she found it to be
of considerable strength. Looking back a last time, she could see the exit as an
illuminated line, the upper lip and teeth gleaming cheerfully. Facing the path
before her, there was nothing but darkness, disrupted only by a single beam of
light pointed at Mamoru who was already 3m below. Some of the light didn't hit
him but rather carried on to be reflected by glistening red walls or to simply
faint away in the bottomless darkness of Ami's throat.
With the only available light source focused on him, Mamoru's activities were
easy to see, even at a distance. He had already gone past the point were he
could stand on the tongue's surface and was now hanging from the cable, his feet
planted on the wall before him. Giving only one additional meter of cable at a
time, he slowly began climbing down, not jumping like the mountaineers you could
see on television, but rather walking down the wall. Next to go was the person
with the flash light, Minako, Makoto figured, though she hadn't asked her.
Somehow, this entire situation had filled her with an uneasy feeling that forbid
any conversation. The others seemed to feel the same, since no had spoken a word
ever since they had entered the mouth. It wasn't completely quiet, though. There
was the constant sound of Ami's breath going back and forth, the distant
thumping of her heart, and the squiking of their clothes, steps, every movement.
Finally, Makoto found the slope too steep to stand on herself. Gripping the
cable she had only kept track of thus far with both her hands, she started
climbing down. Having watched Mamoru's descent, she knew that the opposite wall
was about 3m behind her, and there had been no bottom to this tube. The flash
light directed at Mamoru's descent, there was no one to give light to her. Her
world just consisted of a neverending night full of strange sounds and
sensations. All she had to go by was her sense of gravity and the feeling of the
cable in her glove covered fists.
The first stretch was rather interesting. Initially, the ground tilted more and
more, until it was completely vertical. Then it tilted even more, moving away
from her as she passed the base of the tongue. For a moment she was worried,
since her grip on the cable was not that good, given the thick rubber gloves she
was wearing. If the wall receded so much that she couldn't reach it with her
feet, there would be a real danger of her slipping down. But even as she fought
off those meddling thoughts, the wall stopped its flight and became vertical
again. Her boots however found that things had changed a little bit. Compared
with the surface thus far, the walls of the throat were even more slippery.
Realizing her precarious situation, Jupiter proceeded extremely slowly.
Not that much further below, there really came the point for her to worry about
her grip. Without her noticing it, the cable had gradually been moving away from
the wall. Only when she had to straighten her legs completely in order to really
stand on the wall did she realize what was going on. The wind, which had become
weaker after she had passed the top of the tongue had picked up in strength
again, indicating that the entrance to the wind pipe was nearby. Recalling
biology class, Makoto envisioned the structure of the human body. There was the
throat leading to the divide between the wind pipe and the esophagus. And the
esophagus was ... behind the wind pipe!
As she continued, it became impossible to use the wall for stabilization. Thus,
she slung her legs around the cable, embracing it as hard as possible. Wary of
the danger of slipping down and maybe messing up the others below her, she moved
only one limb at a time, her progress coming to a virtual standstill.
At last her boots found an obstacle. As much as this was comforting, it also
marked another small challenge, as the cable was pressed tightly into Ami's
flesh for a small distance, making it impossible for her to surround it with her
fingers. But this threat also ended. giving way to what should be a simple
climb.
+++
Closing her eyes, Ami had focused on the slight sensations coming from inside
her mouth. Even her sensitive tongue had a hard time keeping track of the other
Senshi moving around, and there was no way for her to determine any of their
other activities. She tried to imagine what would be necessary for this kind of
mission and how it could relate to what she felt, but in the end, this was all
just too vague. Besides, there was no way for her to help except by being a good
girl and sitting still and motionless.
Finally, the feeling of a fine string pressing against the back of her tongue
told her that the others were starting the descent. Her throat not as sensitive
as her tongue, the incidents of her really feeling the feet pressing against her
flesh became fewer and fewer, and she had to rely on her imagination to keep
track of the expedition.
"I wonder where they are now. I hope they are alright. It should be about 25cm
to the entrance to the stomach, that would be about 25m at my current size. Like
a 9- story- building. This is just so weird. Queen Serenity, please protect your
daughter and the others.
Ami felt a tear running down her right cheek. For the people watching her, it
was like a crystal ball glittering in the strong light focused on her.
But as her mind got lost in her own world, her body responded as it always did.
Before she was even aware of it, she had swallowed the saliva that had
accumulated in her mouth. A moment later the shock of the realization made her
bend forward only to stop when she realized that this was the biggest mistake
she could make. Slowly returning to her former position, Ami prayed the others
were alright despite her unbelievably stupid mistake. Frowning, she tried to
concentrate even harder than before.
+++
Jupiter was only two or three meters down the esophagus when she heard a
rumbling noise. Before she had lifted her head completely, the flood was upon
her. Instinctively, her hands tightened around the cable. Even then, she felt as
if she was losing her grip. Just then the liquid was replaced by flesh no longer
soft as the muscles of the esophagus constricted all around her. It felt as if
her chest was being crushed, her ribs reaching their limit. And her legs were
nearly broken as they were forced towards the center of the shrinking tube she
was in. Fortunately, the torment lasted only a moment before the muscles
released her from their grip. Although her entire body hurt and some of the
thick liquid had entered her lung, all Makoto felt at that time was relief and
happyness.
Not all fared as well as Makoto, though. When Usagi tried to hang onto the
cable, it was already too late. The wave hit her hard and swept her right off
the cable as if she was a leaf caught by a storm. She felt herself being
surrounded by a thick liquid that was pushing her down making the sensation of
falling even stronger. Since she hadn't been prepared for this, Usagi couldn't
hold her breath and tried to inhale. But her getting tighty squeezed from all
sides made it nearly impossible for her to expand her lungs, and the little room
she could make was filled by nothing but the sticky liquid that surrounded her.
Panic welled up in her head as she was tumbling down.
Mamoru, who was leading the expedition, was the last to be hit by the saliva.
But since it happened so quickly, there was only the rumbling noise to warn him
as none of the others had been able to shout a warning before it caught them.
Clenching his teeth, Mamoru did all he could at that point, which was simply to
hang on and wait for the flood to move on. It was impossible for him to notice
that his girl friend and his future daughter were passing by just a meter away
from him, hopelessly lost in the stream of spit. Fortunately for him, he had
dropped the rest of the cable the moment he had entered the esophagus, since
there would be no further branches in the tunnel he would need to worry about.
Had he been encumbered by its weight, there would be no telling what could have
happened.
As he recovered from the pain in his chest, he noticed that Minako had turned
the light away from him and up the throat.
"... No. Don't waste any time Minako. If someone got caught in it, we have to
move onward to help her, so hurry up. All of you."
Mamoru shouted the words angrily. He was aware that this entire stunt was far
too dangerous, and if he had had the power to do so, he would have stopped the
others from setting out on it. He was worried about Ami as well, but there were
just too many things that could go wrong, too many ways one or all of them could
get killed. There simply had been no way to discourage Usagi, no argument that
could counter her devotion to her friend. And he hadn't been able to come up
with a better plan so quickly. Cursing their bad luck, he continued his descent.
Finally, the tube ended with the cable disappearing in the ground as strong
muscles kept them outside the stomach. Clinging to the rope, Mamoru began
hitting the ground as hard as possible. After a dozen kicks, maybe more, the
muscles losened a bit. Quickly, he eased his grip and allowed himself to slide
into the opening. But before he was through entirely, the ring of muscles closed
again, pressing hard against him. Taking advantage of the flesh being slimy and
a little bit soft, Mamoru was able to wriggle his way through and disappear into
the stomach.
+++
It took Usagi's dazed mind several seconds to realize that she was breathing air
again. The next revelation was that she wasn't falling anymore but rather
floating inside some hot slime. Everything was dark, and the only sounds were a
constant thumping coming from all around her and some obscene noises. Moving her
arms around, Usagi found that she could kind of swim in whatever she was in as
it was much denser than water. While this fact kept her from going under, it
also meant that every movement below the surface required quite some effort. As
her heart beat slowed down and her thoughts cleared, she noticed the smell. It
was an odd mixture of the smell of food mixing with the sweet smell of decay and
an extremely acidic note.
Mamoru had warned her of the strength of the stomach acid, and the stench would
fit her image of it nicely. As panic began to besiege her mind again, her
fingers touched something hard. Finding that it was some hard object floating in
this swamp, Usagi quickly made up her mind and climbed aboard. The slime tried
to hold her back, but fear and determination gave her the strength to win her
freedom.
Sitting on her little island of hope, Sailormoon looked around. Everything was
dark around her and she was all alone. She recalled how she had lost her grip.
The feeling of suffocating, and that of falling. She couldn't really remember
when she entered this swamp, or when she coughed up the liquid that had blocked
her lungs. She had no idea how long she had been here and what had become of the
others. And she didn't know what she was to do.
"At least no one will scold me for crying. Rei is always just mean to me, as is
Chibi- Usa. Always hanging around my Mamoru. Mamoru...
Sniffing, Usagi continued to shed tears in the dark.
She was roused out of her misery when she noticed some light coming from above.
But when she raised her head, it was gone again. Still, it had filled her with
hope again. Quickly she stood up, waiting for its return. Actually, she nearly
toppled the piece of food she was standing on. But this didn't matter. If she
had been able to see light, that would mean Mamoru and the other would be there
soon.
She was overjoyed when the light appeared again, centering on the cable a few
meters away. And there, bathed in the light, which shone much brighter than
usual in this abyssmal darkness, was her saving angel. No matter what his
clothes looked like, he never seemed more beautiful. Looking down, Usagi found
that the cable dropped down into the ocean of food near an island similar to her
own. And standing atop of it was a slime- covered form. Seeing how small it was,
there was no doubt about it, this had to be Chibi- Usa waiting to greet Mamoru.
Envy replacing the joy she had felt but moments before, Usagi fervently looked
for the fastest way to reach that cable. Now that there was some light, she
realized that the stomach's contents were not a uniform mass but a mixture of
various colors and forms which were dissolving at different speeds. There seemed
to be a lot of islands floating on this murky sea, seemingly bits of cookies or
something like that, allowing her to practically walk over to her destination.
"Mommy!"
As she reached the cable, Sailormoon took a deep breath, preparing to scold the
little girl before her. But when she stepped onto the island, Chibi- Moon turned
towards her, jumped at her and embraced her. Though she couldn't see them, she
heard the tears in this single word. And within a blink of an eye all her anger
was washed away as she hugged her daughter, comforting her.
"Are you alright?"
"Ha? ... Yes... , yes, I am fine. And you, Chibi- Usa?"
"Un, I am fine."
"Good."
Mamoru's voice suddenly addressing her startled Usagi. Concentrating on calming
Chibi- Usa, she had completely forgotten about him, as well as about their
surroundings. Actually, she had been a bit worried about Mamoru. Ever since this
incident had started, he had seemed so distant, so cold. Even now, he didn't
really talk to her. But then again, she felt some warmth in that final word,
some relief in his tension. This could be just as well her desire making her
hear things there were not really there, however.
+++
It took quite a while for all of the others to arrive inside the stomach. As
soon as Minako had released the cable, they had checked on Usagi and Chibi- Usa.
Fortunately, the location where they had entered the stomach had not yet been
dominated by the stomach acid, so that they were uninjured and the clothes
didn't show any signs of damage either.
With everyone together, they started looking for the demon. As the beam of the
flash light explored the walls and ceilings, Makoto realized that the stomach
was nearly empty. Thus, the point where they had entered it was several meters
above their heads, beyond their reach hadn't it been for the cable that was
forming a straight line which seemed rather lost in the weird and bent forms all
around them.
They had explored but half of the walls which were glistening as they produced
fresh acid when those very walls suddenly started moving, sending waves through
the thick, slimey mass and rocking the fragments of food the girls were standing
on. After overcoming their initial surprise, the Senshi didn't have a problem to
stay on board, though the effort to keep their balance certainly hindered them.
"Wa!? What is Ami doing? You told her not to move, didn't you?"
"Idiot! That's her stomach movements. There is nothing she could do about that."
"Up there! Look!"
Minako's shout disrupted Rei and Usagi quarreling. Following the light with
their eyes, they saw a gigantic black and silver bug hanging at the wall. It
seemed 7m long and its sinister red eyes glittered in the flash light's beam. It
hugged to the wall sitting there on its six short legs.
"Supreme Thunder!"
Crackle
"Ha?"
Jupiter was the first to react. As her voice cut through the unhealthy sounds of
their surroundings, a second stream of light erupted as a bolt of lightning
formed above her head before winding its way towards the creature. The thing
didn't even try to evade the attack, and it didn't flinch when the energy
engulfed it. As the flow of electricity stopped, the bug seemed unscathed. It
calmly unfolded its wings. With a sirring sound, it left its position, pulling
its legs out of the stomach walls, leaving six red wounds were they had
penetrated it.
"Burning Man ... ugh!?"
"Ah!"
"UN!"
"Amiii!!!"
The next moments were utter chaos, and there was no telling what happened when.
Minako was trying to keep track of the creature as it swooped down the Senshi,
disrupting Rei's attack and throwing Jupiter off her island into the swamp. At
the same time everything tilted and large waves threatened to topple the pieces
of food Usagi and the others were standing on. This was accompanied by the
rumbling thunder of Ami's voice.
With all the Senshi on their knees, Minako tried in vain to keep the light
trimmed on the enemy. Whenever they saw it blinking in the light, it changed
direction and flew away quickly. An attack was impossible under such
circumstances, and all they could do was brace themselves to defend against its
tackles as it tried to finish them off.
Just then, an enormous amount of liquid fell into the stomach, rocking the
pieces of food. The Senshi and Mamoru were barely able to keep from falling off,
but the monster didn't get a chance to exploit that situation as the saliva had
dropped right on top of it, pushing it down into the swamp. For a moment, it
seemed to have disappeared, but then it resurfaced and climb
