Sharks!?

There was a kid, walking along with his grandpa to the outdoor exhbit the Aquarium was happening today. She was super exicted! She was going to see the new shark exhibit! She was so excited. Obviously the most excited child here. She found sharks neat and exciting and maybe the bullies would leave her alone if she could become a shark! You probably wanna be careful what you wish for.

Such happiness draws Phantom to this area like a fly into honey. He appears in front of the pair with a burst of wind and foul corruption that calls out the magical senses of most Mahou Shoujo.

"So the sharks make you happy? Such happiness.... it's fleeting. An illusion meant to decieve your heart. But for now. For now it's very useful to me."- following by the sound of metal scraping from his scabbard as he drew his mirror sword.

"LET THE FUTURE REFLECTED IN THE MIRROR BECOME TERRIBLE!" he yelled as the pair looked spooked more---- the pair fell into a mirror--- shaped much like a coffin---- red ribbions wrapping around it as it seated itself into the Earth.

"COME ON OUT...TERRIBAD!" he yells out. The mirror glows as the happiness is sucked out of it and converted into a twelve story talk monster wearing a shark hat with sharks for arms and also feet. It was kind of ridicolous. "TERRIBAD!" it yelled out.

"Come on..!" calls out Phantom--- the Terribad starts waving it's arms---the area begining to become a purple grounded wasteland with purple crystal growths beining to clog up the area- Phantoms idea of what the world should look like, of course.

"Come on....Pretty Cure." he said more lowly to himself. As usual. He was trying to draw them out.

Friends! Friends who fight sometimes, and who get involved in awkward and weird lunar love polygons sometimes, and who are definitely Experiencing Shark Week at the aquarium right now!

Mamoru, from behind the comfortable mask of his spectacles, makes the terrible sound at the end of a soft drink in a cup when you're using a straw and the soft drink's all gone.

Repeatedly.

He stares at the shark.

He is super aware of both Usagi and Makoto in his immediate vicinity. He feels like he has eyes staring at him from behind. He may very well. He clears his throat. "So-- Mako-chan, are you picking up study gr--"

Then Phantom happens, like, right across the exhibit from them. Like TEN FEET AWAY. With a Terribad.

"Dammit," he mumbles.

    Cheerful as always, no matter how bright or dull the day was, Akane Hino was walking along with a big grin on her face. Her flats clicked the ground slightly as she walked down the street, heading to the aquarium to check out the shark exhibit that was on display. Or at least that was her plan, until things started to go downhill quickly with the appearance of a Youma! If Phantom was trying to draw out the Pretty Cure, he was doing a good job, but Akane wasn't about to let her form be known that easily either.

    She ducks into a nearby alleyway, hiding from the outside world, before chanting her incantation. ""The brilliant sun, hot-blooded power! Cure Sunny!" Almost immediately, Akane Hino becomes Cure Sunny, and now it's time to show this Youma a lesson in manners!

    "You are one to sour a sweet mood, but you won't get away with it! I am Cure Sunny, and I'm going to make your day dark while making everyone else's bright!" Cure Sunny holds her hands on her hips and stares with a look of determination on her face.

Tadase is, actually, legitimately at the aquarium! He's there doing some research on a school report. He could've used the internet, but there was something to be said for being there personally, and seeing the subject of his report up close. Plus, Kiseki wanted to see the sharks.

Okay, he's largely there because Kiseki wanted to see the sharks.

And maybe because he wanted to see the sharks too.

Tadase doesn't notice the effects of Phantom's presence and generally mean work immediately - but Kiseki does. He shudders, and momentarily goes straight as a board. Tadase /does/ notice that, and it knocks him somewhat out of the dull trance that he was put in. "What's going on, Kiseki?" he asks. "Something really bad. Not an X-egg. But it's something dangerous - and it's something we can't allow to go on!" he says, firmly. But it's also obvious he's a little scared. And frankly, so is Tadase, but one of the things about being regal is doing what's right, no matter your fears!

And that's why Tadase has appeared, with a crown on his head, and a royal scepter in his hand, appearing from one of the entrances. There's a very upset looking Kiseki beside him, and as Tadase prepares to say something - he's cut off by Kiseki!

"I won't tolerate anyone who turns a day at the aquarium into a bad one!" Tadase just blinks as Kiseki delivers a (small) speech himself. His voice can really carry when he's indignantly upset!

There were several levels of scary, the two biggest being 'cute scary' and 'AUGH BUG KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!' Sharks tended to be closer to the cute scary, at least from behind the safety of glass. (And if they started more toward the AUGH scary, she had two people much taller than she to hide behind.)

It is only a little awkward, she supposed. Mamoru-kun had only just recently offered to tutor her, so she could use the excuse of the deal being new to have left it out of conversations with her friends.

Besides, it is easy to forget about when she wanted to drown Mamoru-kun it what remained of his slurpy soda! Augh!

She opened her mouth to say just that, but he started talking first. Oh no, don't bring it up! Augh!

Oh, look, a convenient enemy!

Oh no, a complete transition from cute to AUGH BUG KILL IT WITH FIRE scary!

She shrieks, of course, because she's Usagi, and scrambles for high safety up Mamoru-kun's back.

Makoto, to be honest, feels a little bit like a third wheel. Or possibly like an old-fashioned chaperone there to keep two of her friends from getting carried away by their emotions and - however improbably given the venue - doing something they might come to regret later.

It's about as awkward as it sounds.

She's smiling lopsidedly at Mamoru's half-asked question when all hell breaks loose, because of course it does, and Mako's eyes go wide in surprise and alarm at the sight of the shark monster. For a moment, before she turns a knowing look towards Usagi.

Who has just screamed and leaped onto Mamoru's back.

"Mamoru-san!" she declares with authority, promptly seizing Usagi by both arms to pry her loose before the high schooler can get it into his head to do anything misguidedly heroic. "I'll get Usagi-chan to safety, so don't do anything reckless!"

She doesn't wait for Usagi to voice any opinion of her own about this, just tucks her friend under her arm and *legs it.*

Phantom is confronted by someone who looks like a tiny prince he does not know, and is confronted bu a Cure Sunny. Phantom regards these two. Sunny is most definitly a Pretty Cure. He can /feel/ that. But something is off. This one isn't powered by Blue's power. Her power came from somewhere else. Marchenland? Palmier? He didn't know. But he particularly didn't care. A Pretty Cure is a Pretty Cure--- and one wiped from the Earth that couldn't be replaced!? Yes. That would be delightful indeed.

"Little Prince...... Cure Sunny." Phantom says.

"Everyone is in the dark. Happiness is like a match in the darkness. It gives you a little light. Then it's gone. Such temporary measures are useless." he insists. "This world's destiny is to fall into misfortune. You cannot stop this. All you're doing is delaying it by another day." he says, as he swings his arm out.

This is the command for the Terribad to begin running at Tadase and Cure Sunny with it's Shark Arms as it screams out "TERRIBAD!". It seems it intends to swing them downwards to try to chomp on Tadase and Sunny.

The more-or-less empty slurpy soft-drink cup is dropped as Usagi climbs up Mamoru like he's a tree, and he's frozen half-flinched. "Augh! Bun-head, it'll be okay! Mako--"

But Makoto's already in motion, peeling Usagi off of him, and his face flushes red in sheepish annoyance that can't really be annoyed because he knows it's justified. "I won't!" he insists, already starting to back away from the monster and Phantom and oh good Tadase is here and oh excellent a Pretty Cure is here and--

--the black-haired teenager staggers, then almost doubles over, clutching his head.

Once she's got Usagi in tow, Makoto's stride doesn't break until she's rounded a corner and the two of them are safely out of sight. Then she sets the blonde girl down carefully on her feet, before reaching for her transformation pen.

"We'd better get back in there fast," she says. "Who knows what kind of trouble Mamoru-san will get himself into otherwise--"

And with this hurried declaration, she raises her pen over her head.

"Jupiter Power - MAKE UP!"

As it always does, lightning crackles from the Jupiter symbol that caps the pen, tendrils of energy reaching down to surround her. Silhouetted within the cage of electricity, her clothing transforms from everyday streetclothes to the distinctive fuku, and in moments where Makoto stood now stands the Senshi of Thunder, Sailor Jupiter.

"Let's go!"

    "You're wrong! The light shall always shine!" Cure Sunny yells back at Phantom. "You can't win! We have the power of light on our side! While you're just a sourpuss who just can't see the light!" When Terribad starts running at Cure Sunny and Tadase, she stares in disbelief before scowling. "You won't get us that easily!" She adds.

    Thinking quickly, Cure Sunny twists to the side then hops back a little. Another backwards jump gives her more room to breathe against this youma. "Give up now, I don't want to have to hurt anyone!"

Tadase looks up at those two shark arms coming down. The other target has announced herself as Cure Sunny, which frankly gave Tadase a lot of relief - firstly, he wouldn't be fighting alone! Secondly, in times like this, he had one less civilian to focus on. As far as he could tell, in fact, it was only the two of them - which was good for defense and bad because THERE IS A GIANT SHARK YOUMA TRYING TO EAT HIM.

"HOLY CROWN!" he calls out, the crown-shaped projection of energy becoming a giant shield to protect him from that biting shark arm!

And while all this is going on, Kiseki has heard only one word. That word, unfortunantly, was 'prince'. And now the little king, in all of his royal fury, is flying around the battlefield, UTTERLY ENRAGED. "He's not a prince! HE'S A KING. HE'S /THE/ KING. YOU'RE JUST A COMMONER, WHOEVER YOU ARE!" he shouts, zipping around and yelling all of this at Phantom. It's a good thing he's so tiny and fast or there might be a risk of Phantom grabbing him. On the other hand, all of Kiseki's emotions are feedbacking into Tadase, and the force of his Holy Crown is glowing a bright gold - after pushing back the shark youma's attack, the crown detonates in a blast of bright white light and energy - becoming an attack in its own right!

And as Tadase sees the Sailor Senshi of Lightning arrive, he can't help but do a little fist-pump. The odds just got better. In fact, so emboldened is he that he yells out at Phantom. "You're so wrong! If happiness is a match, we'll pass it from one matchstick to another - from Sailor Senshi to Pretty Cure to Guardian - we'll protect it and nurture it and it will go from a small light in the darkness to a roaring bonfire that banishes the sadness you want to bring!"

That small part of Usagi that isn't pumped so full of Frightened Adrenaline she could power a small town given a bike and potato is quite pleased that she doesn't strangle Mamoru-kun when Mako-chan peels her off him. Of course, that small part is only there because of Bun-head. Hmph!

It helps that she knew her culinary inclined friend is also a safety net until transformations could be done!

By the time Mako-chan sets her on her feet, her hand is already closed around her broach. She gulps, more worried for Mamoru-kun than she is of the shark.

Okay, it's a tie.

"Moon Prism Power - MAKE UP!"

Colorful ribbons and a slight breeze! Then she is no longer Usagi, a fightened girl, but Sailor Moon! ...who is also a frightened girl but can at least protect herself now!

"Right!"

And what better way to bolster confidence than with a well placed speech! When they're back, she already has a Genius Speech prepared!

"It's bad form to wear live animals, even if they are scary sharks out of tanks! For Love, Justice and Fish, a sailor suited pretty soldier, Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon and animal right activists everywhere, I will punish you!"

Phantom doesn't particularly seem to be moved by the 'speeches' he's getting. He's heard various ones. In various languages. From many Pretty Cure. If he felt so inclined, he could probably construct a form letter of the standard speech. He doesn't of course- and of course- those speech givers are now sitting in mirrors- sleeping in despair. With hope- Cure Sunny and Cure Jupiter would be joining them soon.

Yes, Phantom is 99.9 percent sure Jupiter is a Pretty Cure. It feels off. But. Someone who fights like that? It has to be a truth.

It is not, but that's another issue all together.

The Terribad cuts off toward's Cure Sunny, leaving an opening for Tadase to exploit as it's rocked by Holy Crown.

Cure Sunny is able to easily give herself some room. A Terribad is not fast or lighting quick. This leaves it nice and open for quick strikes or ranged attacks. You probably wanna avoid shark hands though.

Phantom is confused though. That girl just made a justice speech.... about fish....

He seems to blink a bit in surprise. THAT one is honestly a first ever. He looks to the tiny Chara Fairy. "A tidal wave of darkness will always snuff out the light." he says plainly to Kiseki.

Somewhere in the middle of the henshining and justice speeches, Mamoru managed to work through the Moon Migraine to get the hell out of dodge while the others occupy Phantom and Sharknado.

Once out of the way and under cover of shadow, and finally hearing the ringing tone of Sailor Moon's voice giving her own justice sp--

--fish?

--eech, he lets go and the shadows engulf him completely, dark, warm colors glittering around him and completing his own transformation.

Instead of announcing himself, he keeps to the background, watching carefully to make sure everything goes according to keikaku.

Tadase looks to Phantom - even though there's, you know, a big shark creature bearing down on him. One thing Tsukasa and Blue have taught him, that he's taken to heart, is that these things are battles of ideas and emotions as much as magic and light. "There isn't a wave of darkness strong enough to snuff out all of the light. That little brightness will always be in our hearts, and will always find a way to flare up again!" he says.

That being said, Tadase knows where his strengths lie right now - and that burst earlier took up a lot of his strength. He's still there, holding tall - but there's now TWO Sailor Senshi and a Pretty Cure here - better to save his own strength for defenses, and continue holding Phantom's attention in some small way. He doesn't want him to enter the fight.

So he keeps an eye on Phantom while he talks, ready to jump in if need be to block a sudden shark arm - or whatever this enemy in the white coat might try to lump on.

She was unaware at how odd the others find her speech (because after all, it's sheer genius!) and is instead preparing to enter the fray!

But wait!

She scans the crowd, and Mamoru-kun is nowhere to be seen. He's out there somewhere, defenceless! What if he's hurt! Dead! Or worse!!! Oh, the agonizing distraction of it all!

Before she can run around and kick things, she has to know! Or at least be placated!

"Where is he, where is he, where is he!"

She likes to think she's quiet about it, but shaking Jupiter's arm probably doesn't elicit discretion.

    "A tidal wave of darkness?" Cure Sunny seems unimpressed with this threat. "That's nothing! The light will always come back in oceans!" She smiles a little but her scowl remains, almost like a determined smile. "We can take on the darkness any way it comes at us!" She points at the shark youma and adds, "I'm not afraid of you, and neither are the others! You're outnumbered, so you might as well just return to where you came from, or we're going to have to send you back their ourselves!"

"Phantom!" Oh yeah, Sailor Jupiter remembers *this* guy. In the wake of Sailor Moon's inspired (if somewhat baffling) speech, Jupiter jabs a pointing finger towards Phantom, mouth opening as though to add her own declaration--

Except that her teammate is shaking her arm anxiously over the absence of one Mamoru Chiba.

A quick look around doesn't provide any answers; Jupiter soon focuses on her friend. "He probably ran and hid since he didn't need to throw himself in front of any sharks for you," she says in the most reassuring undertone she can manage in a hurry. "We'll find him as soon as we beat the monster, okay?"

And speaking of--

She waits until Usagi lets go of her arm of her own volition rather than actually shaking her friend off, but as soon as she's free to move, Sailor Jupiter surges into motion, charging straight towards the Terribad. Some yards away she gathers her strength and *leaps,* becoming a hurtling meteor blur of white and green and pink, fists trailing threads of lightning.

"Eat *this!*"

Sailor Moon is frantically looking for Mamo-chan. Did the shark eat him!? Probably not. Sunny is leading the creature on and it's giving everyone good chances to hit it. But now Cure(?) Jupiter comes into the fray and gives the creature a tremendous lightning infused punch and slams it down and hard into the ground, causing to to slide backwards.

It responds with throwing itself forward, all four(!?) mouths on it's being trying to munch into Jupiter.

Phantom just hrmphs. "I don't belive your conviction." he merely says. Of course, it doesn't matter if HE belives in it or not. But there's a sudden burst of air from Phantom's location-----and before Tadase knows it---he's about halfway toward's his location with that sword being drawn out to the right--- glowing a brilliant white, aiming to collide with Tadase. Hopefully- he's ready for this on coming sword swing!

Tadase is almost caught off guard by the Phantom Empire General's speed and strength, just barely raising his scepter in time to block the blow... and getting knocked back hard by the raw strength of the impact! Phantom's sword is barely being held back by Tadase's scepter, but he's not giving up, and his face is only filled with determination. "It's not just my conviction - it's everyone's." he says, through gritted teeth. "Everyone who's willing to fight to keep the world full of happiness, who's willing to channel those positive emotions. And we'll win." he adds.

But Phantom's strength is apparent, and he's pushing Tadase back even as he tries to dig his heels into the ground...

Oh, Sailor Moon wished he were hiding! That was so much preferable than dead!

Jupiter's reassurances calms her nerves and she let go of her friend's arm.

Jupiter leaps into the fray, and Sailor Moon is ready to join!

She hops to the closest souvenir stand. A fitting arsenal!

"Aieeeee!"

With her cry echoing across the field of battle, she starts to hurl various knick-knacks in the direction of the scary shark guy in a pinwheeling motion!

"Taste the Keychains of Justice and the Shotglasses of Virtue!!!"

    When Tadase goes down, Cure Sunny leaps into action. "Hey you, get off of him!" She yells, rushing in quickly. "I won't let you hurt him or anyone else!" She begins to summon her energy and bring forth the magic of light, turning it into a fireball, albeit one made from pure sunshine instead of just flame. "This should help teach you a lesson in how to treat people! Sunny Fire!" Cure Sunny tosses the fireball into the air, then literally spikes it towards the Phantom Empire General!

--that is a lot of saw-toothed mouths coming at her at once. Sailor Jupiter does a quick duck-and-weave, narrowly managing to keep herself out of those snapping jaws, but it's clear that dodging is only going to last so long.

Instead, she goes on the offensive, bracing her stance for the split second that it takes to call up and unleash a charge. Unguided towards any particular direction, the voltage simply floods out of her, spiking out all around her like the spidery shape of some many-petaled flower.

This, and the distraction of Sailor Moon's assault by souvenir merchandise, should by her enough breathing room to haul back and drive another wrecking-ball punch into the Terribad.

Phantom uses no effort to push Tadase back with his staff-- and Tadase is just lucky he isn't a Pretty Cure. This is when he usually make his sword burst. Instead, Cure Sunny intercedes---- he jumps up into the air and over the fireball as he lands back more toward's his usual location. He holds out his hand with the red bracer on it, forming a red blade of energy, as he throws it back at Cure Sunny. It reeks of something like corruption and red dark energy.

Phantom isn't paying attention to the Terribad now- as he's engaging a Cure on his own.

This means it's on it's own. It opens both it mouths on it's hand as the shark's mouthes explodes in two bursts of water, aimed at Sailor Jupiter--- AND Sailor Moon--- as she throws kitchy souviners at it. It somehow takes offenes to this as it yells out. "TERRIBAD!" it yells at them.

In the midst of the chaos of battle with a terrifying shark Terribad and the smug Phantom, and just as said shark turns its many toothful mouths toward the purpose of creating an oncoming train of woe for the pretty sailor-suited soldiers--

--there's the crackle of red lightning through the air and a sound like a whipcrack.

Winging in out of nowhere, a @};--',--'-,-- lands, stem first, sticking into the ground like an arrow. A petal flutters down as the rose settles. Somewhere, a spanish guitar plays, accompanied by castanets; a spotlight lands on a white-masked and black-clad figure, up above Sailor Moon, and his white-gloved hand lowers to his side.

"Happiness may be fleeting, but it will always return. However, when wise old women tell young maidens with broken hearts that there are many fish in the sea, they do not intend for those fish to then exit the sea and wreak havoc on land! For misinterpreting the lovingly given adages of those kindly people experienced in the ups and downs of lives lived with conviction and valor, you will not be forgiven! I, Tuxedo Kamen, will not stand for this gross injustice!"

His cape unfurls in a heretofore un-felt and frankly somewhat unlikely wind, and he stands tall and proud atop the souvenir stand, poised and ready to distribute hella justice.

Via, you know, the soldiers thereof.

"Sailor Moon! Trust in your friends and allies! Friends of happiness, combine your powers! NOW!"

Tadase watches as Phantom jumps away from the attack - which he's grateful for. But both Tadase and Kiseki notice Phantom has turned his attention away from him.

Somewhere in Tadase's mind is the clear understanding that he is grossly outmatched by Phantom, and the understanding that taunting him, or continuing to fight him, would be a bad idea; the Pretty Cure should probably be left to handle him, as she's most appropriate. But during battles like this (or battles with a certain catboy) Tadase does not listen to that part of his brain.

"Hey, I wasn't done with you yet!" Tadase shouts, and levels his scepter at Phantom. So many of the others are, after all, working to handle the shark-youma.

"ROYAL LIGHT!" Tadase shouts out, and a blast of white energy erupts out of the scepter, headed towards Phantom.

Yay! She is helping her friend! She is Providing Distraction! She is--

Being attacked!!!

"AIEEE!"

This time, it is not a cry of battle, but a shriek as she scrambles out of the way!

She trips, only because the walkway decided it was going to raise up at that second (honest, it wasn't air!) and lands on her backside. It hurts, and she takes a deep inhale to unleash her own streams of water when--

A rose? That's new. Where'd it--

A familiar voice filters through the air, turning a dangerous atmosphere to a comforting blanket as a violin quartet plays a heartfelt number, and her heart feels as though it will explode!

Twisting about, tears forgotten, she presses her hands to her chest as she visibly swoons.

"Tuxedo Kamen-Sama!"

Pupils grow from black to pink, and instead of circles they are now the pulsing hearts of sheer adoration!

His words, though said to all feel as though they are meant for her and her alone, and she hangs onto every word. (His also cheesy speeches is PROOF they belong together!) She is emboldened! She has a new strength and courage!

She stands and faces the enemy now. "Right!" Her fingertips go to her forehead. "Jupiter! Let's do this!"

She twirls, and builds momentum, and flings!

"Moon Tiara Action!"

    "What is THAT?" Cure Sunny asks as she sees Phantom summoning forth the dark energy. "Oh no, it can't be!" She doesn't want to believe it, but apparently Phantom is sending forth dark energy at Cure Sunny! And Sunny doesn't like that at all! "No, you won't stop me!" Sunny crouches down as she anticipates the incoming blade, then does a forwards roll on the ground. After that, she watches as Tadase summons forth his energy, and Sunny decides to join in on the action, since, just like Tuxedo Kamen said, they need to combine their powers.

    "Sunny Fire Burning!" Cure Sunny yells, this time summoning more energy than usual, and sending an even larger ball of light flame towards Phantom, this one attempting to join with the light from Tadase's attack and combine power. The more power of positivity, Cure Sunny believes, the better off they are!

As the shark mouths open, Sailor Jupiter crosses her arms in front of her as a shield and squares her stance against the incoming assault... at least until Tuxedo Kamen makes his very timely interruption.

When Sailor Moon calls out to her, she's ready, tiara already sparking.

"Right!" she calls back, before her hands form the familiar gesture and she gathers the growing charge around her in a mantle of sizzling energy. "Supreme----"

As the tiara flies out, Jupiter throws out both hands, releasing the lightning in a brilliant, searing torrent. In a flash it catches up to Sailor Moon's tiara and joins with it, haloing the spinning disc of moonlight in a corona of electricity. "--Thunder!"

Phantom turns around to----face the man in the Tuxedo. He's faced him before. He's annoying- and right now he's filling this bunch of magical girls with effervescent hope. He hates this feeling. He hates this feeling because it makes him doubt himself. No--- no he has to be strong. He has to be strong for Mirage-sama. Those paying attention can see that struggle in his eyes for a moment. Cure Sunny can feel it though, from Phantom. It's an odd feeling.

Something like love. Something like courage.

But it isn't.

Surpreme Thunder rocks the Terribad, the water inside it's dark form resonating heavily in it and stunning it- aswell as making it hurt a lot.

Cure Sunny and Tadase's attacked hit it on the side, causing it to veer and start to fall over. It flails it's arms in an attempt to stay balanced. "TERRI!?" it yells out.

Moon Tiara Action slices through it, and there's a giant explosion of white light from the youma as the purifying attack slices through it---

"SO RELAXXXXING!" it coughs out as the Terribad explodes into smoke--- at the same time the mirror fades away that had the grandkid and grandpa trapped, causing the two to fall lightly onto thier feet and blink confusedly. They're fine! But where did everybody go!? The girl thinks, did the Sharks eat everyone!? SO COOL!

She doesn't say it though. Right now. Confusion and 'Who are these strangely dressed people!?'

Where Phantom was is nothing but a sudden burst of wind as he teleports from the area. He'll try again. There will be more chances-- for now, he returns to his queen empty handed.

Atop the souvenir stand, blue eyes behind a white mask meet the blue eyes of Phantom, and mixed in with determination and belief, there's--

--is that empathy? Or pity? Or some strange and equally potentially insulting mixture of both?

Just as Phantom teleports out and before the civilians start to pick themselves up, there's a black and red whirl of silk and Tuxedo Kamen vanishes.

As the civilians start picking themselves up, there's a call on people's shiny new Virtuephones!

    "Good job everyone! That teamwork was amazing!"

Aaaand that's Mamoru. And more civilians are gonna be showing up any second. Probably time to split.

Tadase smiles. He looks around at everyone. He can't spend much time out here like the others - people will be getting up soon, asking questions. But he does take the time to look at Cure Sunny. "Thank you - that was close. That guy's pretty dangerous. If you hadn't jumped in when you did, he might have got me..." and then up to Tuxedo Kamen, who he's met before personally, and the Senshi who he knows from Virtue "Thank you, Tuxedo Kamen-Sempai! Thank you Sailor Moon, Sailor Jupiter!"Then, with a smile, a wink, and a helping of bishonen sparkles, he makes his exit - hopefully before any of the civilans can pick him out as one of Seiyou Academy's Guardians.

    "Hey, no problem!" She says with a big smile. "When we're working together, we can do anything!" SHe looks to Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter. "And you girls did a lot too!" She seems to be in quite the positive mood now that everything's been taken care of. "We make a great team, don't we?"

Sailor Moon beams at everyone! They did it, and they were all healthy! "We do!"

Then there is a very familiar voice from the virtuphone and she shrieks, but incoherently. Mamoru-kun's safe! The stinker snuck away and made her worry! Ooooo, she was going to punch him in the toe!

Then she remembers it would be weird if she yelled at him as Sailor Moon...huh. Oh well.

Still, she's glad! "I'm happy to hear you're safe!"

Straightening back up, she is cheerful and almost vibrating with Post Battle Adrenaline Glee!

"Everyone was amazing! I'm so happy!"

She giggles and throws her arms around Jupiter. She wishes to hug everybody!
