All at once, Cadet Kawagawa goes still, before his hands slowly slide down his face. The young man's eyes suddenly come into focus, looking directly at the superintendent. "They did something to me." He says, voice entirely monotone, without even the slightest hint of emotion. "Changed something in me. Oh. Yeah. That." With a sigh, the young man shakes his head. "I don't want to die." He says simply, and both Kimiko and the Superintendent frown at the statement.
"You aren't going to die." Kimiko says, "We'll protect you."
"That's nice." The cadet says as his entire body begins to glow red, like a high powered flashlight through a thumb, "but it's too late. I'm a bomb. Sorry Miss Sakurada." Then, before another word can slip through the man's mouth, Sailor Moon is there. The girl is glowing bright with magical energy. One hand snaps out as she spins around the young man, the Moon rod in one hand, tracing a circle around the boy.
「MOON HEALING ESCALATION!」 The girl all but roars in her hurry to cast the spell. The glow inside of the young man grows brighter for a moment, until the last syllable is said, and then the glow is gone. Blinking a few times, Kawagawa looks very confused for a moment, before he looks down at himself.
"Did I just nearly explode?"
Standing next to the very much not exploded young cadet, Sailor Moon dusts her hands off. "Nearly, but you didn't." She says with a smile, patting the young man on the shoulder. "Just one more service that the Senshi offer. Though, uhh... Try not to nearly explode again." The girl suggests.
Kimiko snorts, shaking her head as Mercury's computer dings, the girl stepping back. "Alright, Moon." She says, I've got everything I can from the mark. You should be good to remove it."
Sailor Moon approaches the still unresponsive older man, placing both her hands on either side of his head. Soft wisps of glowing silvery mist begins to flow off of the girl's hands and arms, as the invisible symbol on the officer's head begins to flicker, a strange pattern appearing across his scalp.
Moon takes a long, deep breath in. There she holds it for a long moment, all the while the symbol on the man's head starts to glow brighter and brighter and brighter before she slowly lets the air out. Then, with an audible Crack, the symbol shatters, fading into wispy thin mist that disperses. Officer Toshiro is still for a moment, before the man suddenly blinks. Eyes that blurry and out of focus sharpen, as the sagging open mouth shuts with a click.
"I..." Officer Toshiro begins, before blinking again, and shaking his head. "I'm sorry," He says, almost instinctively. "I must have zoned out there for a moment. What were we..." The words trail off as the man glances around. Sailor Moon can almost see the man's thoughts as his eyes snap from place to place. First the man's eyes go to his legs, and the lack of pants that he is wearing, then the bars around him. The open door, and the Cadet who is in the middle of some kind of break down. Kimiko and the superintendent, and finally around to the different Senshi in the room. "How long was I out?" He asks instead.
"We're not sure. What's the last time that you can remember?" Mercury asks, and if the officer has any trouble answering the questions of the mysterious women in the room, he doesn't show it.
"It should be about 8:15, by my count." He says, and each of the Senshi can't help but grin hearing that. It was only just past 8:30 when they arrived, and just barely nine now. "What happened?" Toshiro asks. "The last thing that I remember was the prisoners acting up. The big one, Danbura was whistling. At first I didn't think much of it, but there was something about what he was whistling. The notes were... the longer he whistled, the notes started to layer over themselves. A regular person can't whistle like that, and despite what the Captains are saying, I'm not an idiot." He glances around the girls, "You lot are the Senshi, right? The ones that have been taking down most of the DK's bases."
"That's us." Sailor Moon confirms.
The older man smiles, nodding. "I've got to thank you for that. My Grandson was a student at the Crystal Seminar." Sailor Moon does her best to hide the wince that mentioning the Seminar draws from her. "Tried to warn his father that there was something fishy about it, but he wouldn't listen."
"Glad to help." Sailor Moon says, before turning back to the superintendent. "So, it's not been an hour yet. If we're lucky, they still might be in the building."
Kimiko glances over to the Senshi, an odd look on her face. "What makes you think that? Wouldn't they prefer to just get out of here as soon as they can?"
Sailor Moon shakes her head. "They'll certainly want to get out of here, sure, but they're also pretty dedicated to their whole making sure that no one knows about magic thing." The girl explains, "I have a feeling that they won't leave until they've made sure that there isn't any evidence of magic left here in the station."
Kimiko goes pale, whirling around to Natsuda. "The Morgue!" She cries out, and for a moment the superintendent looks confused, before the woman seems to realize something.
"Shit." Is all Natsuda says, before turning to the Senshi. "We've got a Youma contained on the premises." The superintendent explains,
"The thing is nearly ten feet tall," Kimiko says, her voice strangely quiet in a way that the Senshi haven't really heard before, as if Kimiko is far away, the woman's eyes out of focus as she speaks. "It had the ability to disguise itself as a regular person, but it could also turn into this mass of shapeless goo that was burning hot, enough to kill... our weapons did nothing to it."
Mercury glances over to Moon for a moment, a worried look on her face, before glancing back to the two speakers. "And the reason that it's in the morgue?" Mercury asks.
"The creature doesn't seem to handle the cold well." Natsuda explains, as she places a hand on Kimiko's shoulder, lightly shaking the girl for a moment. "The colder the air around it, the more effort it took the creature to move, and the less it was able to change it's shape or burn the people around it." Kimiko starts to lead the group up and out of the detention floor, heading through the halls towards the back of the building. "In the end, the only thing that we could do was lock the monster into one of our freezers in the morgue, it chilled the thing down to the point where it couldn't move at all." She says, "And if those two guys are going after everything magical in the station, then there is a decent chance that they'll be heading that way."
Sailor Moon nods, looking at the superintendent for a long moment. "Is there anything else magic in the building?"
"I don't think..." Natsuda starts to say, before the woman frowns. "Wait, no, there are a handful of other things." The woman says after a moment. "Over the last year, I've received a number of souvenirs from Sailor V. Some of them are just little cute things, but several of them were things that seemed a bit more important than your average souvenirs, so I had them locked up in a safe down in the basement."
"In the base.... Wait," Jupiter says, the girl stumbling to a stop, an odd look on her face. "I know that you mentioned this last night, but what do those two guys look like again?"? She asks, starting to turn and look up towards the ceiling of the hall.
"Uhh..." Sailor Moon starts, trying to figure out how to describe the two men.
"Danbura was the taller of the two men." Ami says, vaguely motioning with her hands. "He was big and broad shouldered, with thick mutton chops and his eyes always seemed bloodshot."
"Meanwhile," Mercury adds, "Yosuke was thin and reedy, with sandy hair and thick glasses."
"Thin and reedy, with sandy hair." Sailor Mars repeats, getting a nod from Sailor Moon. "Like that police officer who was wearing a jacket that didn't fit him when we first arrived?" She asks.All at once, the group freezes, as each of the Senshi's heads tilt, their minds racing as they try and think about what Mars is meaning.
"That was the guy," Sailor Moon says, nodding quickly. "I thought it was really weird how he seemed entirely unsurprised by us teleporting in."
"But then where was Danbura?" Kimiko asks, clearly recalling the man that the Senshi are mentioning.
"I mean, I didn't think anything of it at the time," Sailor Mars says, "But there was a man sitting across from Yosuke - he was facing the desk, so I don't know what he looked like."
"Okay," Sailor Moon says, standing there for a moment, trying to think everything over. Slowly, Sailor Moon looks between each of her senshi for a long moment. "Danbura and Yosuke have escaped from their cells. They mind wiped a member of the police, and tried to kill a cadet." Kimiko scowls, lightning dancing across her hands as they clench into fists. "But if they are still acting the way that they did last night, there is no chance that they are going to leave until they've gotten something. Whether that be the Youma in the morgue, or something out of that safe down in the basement."
"There is one other thing that you might want to know about." Natsuda says, looking over to the Sailor Senshi. "I've got a meeting in about ten minutes." This is a very strange thing for the woman to say, but given the fact that there are dangerous magical people running loose in the building it is worth knowing that more innocent people are on their way. "It's a representative from some new government organization called the Metanormal Capabilities and Tactics."
Kimiko starts, turning to look at the superintendent. "Wait, MCAT?" The woman asks, blinking in surprise, "That's who you're meeting is with?"
If anything, Kimiko's question seems to throw Natsuda completely off guard. "You know about MCAT?" The woman asks, turning to look back at Kimiko.
"Yeah, they tried to recruit me last week. They've been bugging me constantly ever since." The superintendent scowls, shaking her head.
"Alright." Natsuda says, a slight growl on her voice. "I'll make sure that they know that is not going to fly." And from the woman's tone, it is clear that she very much means it. "Special Government Organization or not, poaching my people is not okay."
"So," Mercury starts, looking between the two woman, "What is MCAT?" She asks, "You said.... Metanormal Capabilities and Tactics... right? Like..."
The superintendent nods, "Magic." She glances over to Sailor Moon. "You might want to have someone come by for that too.
So what are your plans? Where do you want to send each of the different senshi?
