Bishoujo no Senshi...Sailor Ryder!

[Bean Bandit]

Almost immediately, the screen blinked on to reveal a crowded arena, and each and every one of the spectators was on their feet, cheering at the top of their lungs as heavy electric guitar music began to play.

The camera slowly panned over to what the crowd was watching, and slowly it came to a ring in the middle of the arena, the roar of the crowd mingling with the music, until it came to the ring.

Suprisingly enough, Minako herself was in the ring, as Sailor Venus. However, she was unconscious, and a girl who looked strikingly similar to Amelia, from the 'Slayers' anime series stood over her, holding a gold belt above her head, and making a 'Victory' sign at the crowd.

The scene cut to a montage, and literally dozens of Anime characters Minako recognized were either dispensing brutal beatings, or recieving them.

Finally, the montage cut back to the orginal scene, and announcer began to speak in the breathlessly amazed manner of wrestling announcers. "It's all happening right here, Tokyo dome, this weekend! Bring on the PAIN!"

The scene cut to black, and the words 'Bring on the PAIN' splashed on the screen in white, under the heading "Chaos Entertainment". With that, the commecial ended, and a Japanese sitcom resumed...

[RyderHakubi]

Many thoughts raged through the head of the displaced gamer as she watched the promo appearing in front of her.

So... This is what they meant...

Wait a tic!?!  That was me!!!

AMELIA?!?  I'D KICK HER ASS IN A SECOND!!!

Hey... That kinda looks like the Big Gold Belt (tm)...  I want that belt!

Bring the Pain?  That ain't the line, It's HERE COMES THE PAIN.

This weekend?  Well... that gives me some time.

Oh crap... I'm going to have to face those people?  And to do that, I'd have to be... OH... 5%17

And as if it was a major delayed reaction, the gravity of her gender change came down upon her.  Until then, playing the part of Minako and then playing the part of Master Chief had kept her from thinking about the situation she was in...

"Oh no... I am a girl... I am a ditz... I am a Senshi... and I am not f'n dreaming damnit." she said as she turned off the sitcom and headed back to her room.

As she walked into her room, she shut off her X-Box, checked her schedule and alarm to see if they were set with enough time to get to school AND deal with getting ready as a girl... and slipped into bed to try and handle being Aino Minako without causing people to notice the change too much...

She had gotten lucky today after all.

[Asrana]

Minako's night was rather lucky as well...

Well, some people would consider it lucky.

One dream seemed to stand out as it began happening, the new girl suddenly becoming more aware of it all.

She was watching things happen. In an...oddly decorated bedroom. Pink was everywhere, along with pictures of a blond man, recognizable as Motoki, the manager of the arcade.

On the rather large heart shaped bed, she could see Motoki, and someone who looked like Mamoru embracing. Rather passionately too. Kissing was involved, and some rather blatant groping of certain parts...

Her vision seemed to zoom in on the frolicking men, trying to take in every detail of their quite male bodies, clad in VERY tight clothing, moving together; even the shuffling of their clothing was audible, and their slight moans of 'Mamo-kun' and 'Moto-kun'...

Minako's brain apparently had major ideas about some things...

[RyderHakubi]

Upon her awakening, many things ran through the mind and body of Aino Minako.

For one thing, as is usual for both, they were still tired.  But, Ryder was not nearly tired enough to forget the dream, no, the nightmare that she had just experienced, and wished the scream at the horrifying images burned into her memory.

However, her body... See, the body, in a purely physical sense... enjoyed what Ryder felt like pulling out her eyes at.  After all, it had been trained to do so.

But, the slight arousal in the body, the greatest feeling going through Minako's body was the urge to vomit.  So, Ryder stumbled out of bed, rushed to the bathroom, and did so...

***

5 minutes, and a glass of water later, Ryder was in a dilemia...

She was VERY tired.  It was 4:20 AM after all.  But, this is normal... it would not be a typical morning for Ryder if he wasn't.

But, she was also afraid.  Afraid of having another dream much like the disturbing one that he had just experienced.

And then, there was THAT dream.

She saw Chaos in work.  She saw anarchy, she saw mayhem... And worst of all, she saw her own death.  He body ripped apart by the same forces tearing apart the Universe around her.  All because of losing this weekend...

And there was no way she was going to let that happen.  Not when she had time to figure out how to work the powers of Sailor Venus to thier maximum.  Even though it meant... wearing THAT.

"I've got to do this eventually..." Ryder muttered as she put down her glass of water and, after a bit of searching for the right door, went to the basement.

She stood in the middle of the small, slightly cramped room, and sighed as reached around in subspace and pulled out the Venus Star pen, held it up, and whispered, since she didn't feel like waking Artemis with her experimentation, "venus star power,  make up..."

[Asrana]

The wand worked as expected, a flash of bright yellow light filling the room on Minako's command, swirling around her in a dazzling display of energy. Her clothing seemed to dissolve off her form, her nudeness concealed by the energy storm of her powers.

The streaks of light constricted around her, merging into definition as they wrapped around Minako's body, the fade glowing to reveal the sailor senshi seifuku, in orange and white, as well as Minako's high heels...

[RyderHakubi]

The magic flowing off of Ryder's body was VERY exhilerating, almost destroying her reservations about wearing such an outfit in public, in front of millions.

It was hard to describe Ryder's mood before she took a step... BUT, it was quickly replaced with a combination of pain and embarrassment as she took a step in the high heels, wobbled, and crashed to the ground.

"Owwwww!!!!" she cried out in pain as she rubbed her right knee, which had hit first on the concrete floor.

[Asrana]

"What is it this time?" came a grumbling reply from behind the water heater, followed by the emergence of a white lunar cat. Sitting behind Minako, and yawning in an oddly human fashion for a cat, it looked pointedly at the blond.

"You're acting like Usagi-chan, Mina...what's happening to the world now?"

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder quickly stiffened as Artemis spoke, realizing that she had been caught...

Oh shit....

She had been preparing for this confrontation, but now that it had started, she was at a loss of words, except for a bit of a nervous, "Oh... well, It was something I ate.  Screwed my balance up a bit..."

[Asrana]

Artemis sweatdropped, eyeing Minako curiously. "Um...what the hell did you eat?" he asked curiously, taking a step closer. "I don't think there's anything in the house quite that toxic..."

[RyderHakubi]

"Those burger/fry nuggets... I undercooked them slightly." Ryder replied while continuing to laugh nervously.

At least he hasn't asked why I'm in my Venus form right now...

[Asrana]

Artemis somehow managed a dubious expression with his feline face at the explanation. "That meat wasn't raw when you put it in...how could they be undercooked?" he inquired, blinking. "They've already been cooked once, too."

[RyderHakubi]

With a great deal more laughing, Ryder replied, "Really... I guess they just were not nearly as good as I thought when they are reheated."

Hope he buys that one...

[Asrana]

"I guess..." Artemis allowed, stil not looking entirely convinced. "So then, if you're not feeling well, why are you in your senshi uniform and not in bed or something?"

[RyderHakubi]

"I had a nightmare... maybe even a vision, I have to talk to Rei about it later," Ryder began saying.

With a changed face, she continued, "The world was dying... being ripped and torn apart because I lost... because I failed in my mission."

[Asrana]

Artemis blinked curiously, looking slightly more interested as Minako spoke. "That's odd, thoug...you don't normally have visions of any kind."

"Going to contact Rei now?" he asked, frowning slightly in thought.
