Cher: WHEEEEE! NO! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! Everyone landed gracefully on the palace roof, except for Cher, who mistimed her landing and ended up in the moat. Cher: Oh my Doq, ENGLE! Cher petted the petrified skull of a dragon floating on the muddy dried moat. L*: Cher? What's wrong? Cher smiled with tear-filled as she looked up at L*. Cher: It's Engle, he... he listened to me for once. And he died... In the distance, a yellow dragon laughed hysterically at Cher and the Styrofoam skeleton. Cher looked up at the drawbridge. Cher: L*, can you lower the drawbridge? L* nodded as she and the six others walked into the elevator. Chavuni started panicking. Chavu: We're all gonna die... L*: Uh huh that's what you thought in the past! L* then hit the button for first floor. After the elevator dinged four floors, Giaque looked up. Gia: And the rope will snap in seven Daka: You are being foolish Gia: Six Chavu: We're all gonna die Gia: Five X: Will you all be quiet? Gia: Four Kizu: I have a bad feeling about this Gia: Three Kou: Auntie Artemisu, tell them to stop. Gia: Two L*: GIAQUE SHUT UP! Gia: One. L*: THAT'S IT! L* then leapt upon Giaque and started pounding her, Kizu slid over to X. Kizu: X, 3000 yen on Lady. 100-1 odds! I bet you 3000, and I'll pay you 300,000 yen if she loses. X rolled her eyes. X: Deal.... Suddenly, the elevator cord snapped, and L* leaped onto Dakasina. L*: OKAY GIAQUE I GIVE UP JUST DON'T HURT ME! X looked at Kizu with her hand outstretched. X: That'll be 600,000 yen any day now. Kizu glared at X. Kizu: *mumbles* I'll pay you later. X tossed her head proudly and then Kousagi screamed Kou: Did anybody else realize WE'RE STILL FALLING? Everyone looked, and Giaque nodded. Gia: And panic will arise in three...two...one Chavu: HOLY COW WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! The lights went out and the elevator gained in speed, everyone screaming their heads off. Chavuni looked up at the number arrow that was quickly coming closer and closer to the bottom floor. Everyone braced himself or herself when suddenly laughter filled the elevator as it stopped. L* looked up and uncovered her ears. MV: Thank you for riding the tower of terror. Please dispose of used vomit bags in the receptacle on your left as you exit. Thank you, have a scary day! L* glared at Giaque who was now collecting her 10,000 yen pay. L*: Okay minna lets go get Cher, find Naoko and destroy that *horror music* Baby Spice that escaped who is now with Hotaru. Kizu looked over his list. Kizu: Um, Lady... We missed more than *horror music* Baby Spice. We apparently also missed Christina Aguilera *someone screams in the distance*, Britney Spears *sounds of people run in fear*, Mandy Moore *sounds of breaking glass sound in the background*, and Jessica Simpson *sounds of blinking, then of people walking away*. L* blinked. L*: We missed the blondes? Dear goq, the world's gonna go to Martha Stewert in a wicker basket! Kousagi shook her hands and screamed when Cher stomped into the elevator, covered in mud, with wall scaling equipment. Cher: You guys suck! After I waited HALF AN HOUR on what I found out to be a STYROFOAM SKELETON which then gave out under me which made me fall into the moat that hasn't been drained in SEVEN THOUSAND YEARS since I found my necklace in there. Then I found this rock scaling equipment so I could get to Naoko's room and then I fell and landed in the moat where I found a switch to lower the drawbridge. Then as I came to the elevator it asked my password but I didn't remember what it was so it covered me in ice until it exploded from pressure. Then after I passed that I stepped on the wrong tile and I stepped on a flame thrower trap and then I was doused in RAW SEWAGE- Kizu stepped away from Cher at this point. Cher: So then I wiped as much off as I could then I find you guys hadn't even gotten-to-the-bottom-floor yet... Cher started to hiccup from depression and L* took a step closer and pulled on a large rubber glove that extended to her shoulder. She wrapped it gently around Cher to comfort until Cher flung herself into her arms, rubbing her face onto L* shiny white sailor uniform. L*: DAMNIT I JUST GOT THIS DRY-CLEANED! Cher pulled away and everyone ran out of the elevator into the new hallway. L* followed, only for Cher to attach her sewage covered self to L*'s alabaster thighs. L*: Um, minna, help please? Nobody paid attention when they opened the door to Naoko's room. Kizu pushed the cobwebs away from his face and squinted into the faint light. Kizu: Naoko-sama? Is that you? A head slowly rose, and gentle eyes looked back at Kizu. Old Naoko: No one... has come... for a few hundred years... L* pulled Cher into the room. Cher looked up to notice her purple odango's had returned to a brown ponytail. Cher: Naoko-Sama! Can I have orange heart shaped odango's? Old Naoko lit a candle and pulled Cher into her lap. Old Naoko: Here you go... Old Naoko then carefully pulled the murky brown hair out of its restrains and pushed away the sewage, which then flew and hit Giaque in the face. Gia: Grossedness! Everyone laughed except L*, who was currently walking around in a bathrobe with her uniform in a heap, soaking in cleanser. Old Naoko: So, are you the same Senshi from 2004? They all nodded, and L* started scraping the encrusted poo from her sparkly white uniform. L*: Yes, we are Naoko-sama. Now we need YOUR help. We need the stuff to destroy what's-her-name. Old Naoko: Hoku, the retarded teenybopper that I don't like. Kizu: Ho Who? L* shot up, and shook her head. L*: Hoku... is back? Old Naoko nodded. Old Naoko: Hai, Maverick, hai. The only way you can even dream of taking down Hoku is with the power of... Old Naoko started hacking, and Cher looked up at her half completed heart shaped odango. Cher: Naoko-sama? Are you okay? She nodded, and took a sip of some tea with a dead cockroach in it. Everyone squirmed and Old Naoko continued. Chavu: Ickyickyicky ICKY! Old Naoko: Kousagi. She has within her what no one else can compare to. Kizu: But before you said I was the key to the mission! Old Naoko: Yes, to get the music. But the rest is up to Kousagi. Kou: Me? Really? Up to me? Old Naoko nodded, and pointed to the small symbol that was constantly shifting on Kousagi's forehead. Old Naoko: This proves it. You will know what to do when the time comes. It's a shame that blondes have been given such a bad name from these monsters. Like Usagi. Everyone laughed. Old Naoko: Minako? Everyone continued laughing. Old Naoko: Haruka? Everyone stopped. They looked at each other, knowing Old Naoko was right. Kizu: Wait. Haruka had WHITE hair in the manga! Old Naoko: Oh yeah... Did I even have a blonde person other than those two? Daka: Does Motoki count? Old Naoko: He had brown hair. She sighed, and began hacking. Cher: You know cockroach tea isn't that good for you. Old Naoko smiled, and finished off Cher's second odango. Old Naoko: Here, this is the key to the backroom. It holds all the weapons and such. Cher opened her hand and Old Naoko opened her hand and nothing showed up. Kizu: Oh is this like the map that only you guys can see? Cher: No, she didn't give it to me, BAKA! Kizu rolled his eyes as Naoko turned Cher's hair orange. She smiled gleefully. Cher: Thankies Naoko-sama! Old Naoko: Uh huh whatever. Now you missed a bunch I can tell. X: How? Old Naoko pointed out the window to see Baby Spice chucking in a record. She then pointed to the other side where Jessica, Mandy, Christina and Britney were singing into a *thankfully* dead mike. Old Naoko: Now can you grab your weapons before they report you to Hoku? They took over the world here. You MUST NOT FAIL! Cher, L*, Kizu, and Kousagi nodded. Naoko handed them the REAL KEY which looked like a poorly made copy of the time key, and they headed into the back room. They each knew instinctively what to grab, and then they teleported out. Old Naoko looked about and sweat-dropped. Old Naoko: MaverICK! You forgot you UNIFORM! The bathrobe wearing Artemisu popped back in, quickly pulled on her uniform, and zapped out.
