[The shimmering hues of blue and whites almost blinded Kotetsu, but once the initial shock faded he found himself standing in the middle of a large ice rink. It was cold, so very cold. Kotetsu could literally see his breath before him in the form of a smoky mist.]

G-Geez! It's frickin' freezing here!

[Blowing into his shivering hands, Kotetsu paused once he saw a figure laying on the ice. At first, he swore his brown eyes were playing tricks on him. He couldn't make out the person's face but he could tell it was the silhouette of a girl.]

H-Hey?

[He called out to them but they didn't acknowledge him.]

Konnichiwa? Hello?

[A frustrated sigh escaped the old man's lips.]

Is this some kind of dream or somethin? This doesn't make any sense...

[Kotetsu let out a frustrated sigh as he made his approach towards the girl. Walking on ice is a tad tricky, so the poor guy nearly takes a dive a few times before he reaches the middle of the ice rink.]

Oi, girl! Can you hear me? Can you--Bwah?

[He trailed off immediately once the girl started to moan. She was wearing a purple skating leotard, one that had a little pink polka dots on it and a matching skirt. While the outfit was something typical that a child would wear, something about the colors and pattern reminded Kotetsu of someone.]

Polka...dots?

[Taking one step closer, suddenly the ceiling above the rink caves in and glass comes tumbling down on their heads.]

W-WHAT?! What the hell is goi---

[A terrible scream erupts from the girl once she raised her head upward. Her familiar bright brown eyes are filled with fear and tears streak down her delicate cheeks. The girl's hair moved erratically in the wind, with little glass shards now dotting her chestnut hued hair. Before, Kotetsu didn't recognize the child but now that her face was finally revealed to him; a sense of dread began to pool within his stomach.]

KAEEEEDE!

[Kaede looks back at him, her innocent eyes filled with such shock.]

OTOUSAAAAN!

[Reaching out her hand to him, Kotetsu almost reached it until several steel beams came crashing down on his little girl. Her blood spewed forth from the impact, splattering all across Kotetsu's shocked face. ]

K-Kaede...?

[He was standing in the middle of the ice rink with his hand still outstretched before him, pointing towards the rumble that claimed the life of his ten year old daughter. Frozen in that pose for a minute or two, Kotetsu suddenly fell to his knees. Kaede's blood dripped down his cheeks as he stared at the carnage before him with a haunted gaze. Unable to speak, unable to even cry, Kotetsu just sat there in a daze as his mind tried to process what happened to his baby girl.]

...no.

N-Nani!?

[Tiger didn't know what to think when suddenly flames engulfed the streets. Another girl appeared, this time a teenage girl dressed in all red. She wore the same weird uniform as the other two girls, but she seemed more focused than the others.]

She really has the right idea.

[He mumbled to himself after Mercury sped off ahead.]

Oi, okay! We can work to--AH!

[Poor Tiger nearly jumped out of his suit once Jupiter came near. The thunder girl was probably the scariest one out of the bunch. She had the same powers as fellow hero, Dragon Kid, but she wasn't hardly as patient as the little heroine. Unsure what to make of the thunder girl, Tiger came to a solemn realization.

They need to work together.]

...Alright, it's time to win this!

[Ignoring whatever conflicting emotions he might have of being forced to rely on these strangers, Tiger leap into the fray without any hesitation. He started hammering away at the little ducks, literally crushing each one until there was nearly nothing left.]

This is for that stupid dream, you damn duck!

[He growled.]

This is for Kaede...

[ Mars waited for Mercury to catch up to her position, and fell into step beside her, glancing over her shoulder at the man in the mech. ] Who's that?

[Mercury hurried alongside Mars, spent only a few seconds to catch her breath, and nodded.]

He's called 'Wild Tiger'; he was going to help us go after our friend who was attacked. It may be related to the other illusions lately.

He's an idiot.

We need to find Kotetsu-san, and this self-proclaimed hero is--

Jupiter Oak Evolution!

Kotetsu-san?

Oiii!!!!!

[Wild Tiger stopped briefly in his assault to shake his fist at the "Amazon".]

I'm NOT an idiot! Quit with the name callin' already! I'm getting angry!

[The hero let's out a grumpy "Hmph!" before continuing with the duck massacre. It was almost a shame that they had to slaughter such adorable little toys, but Tiger knew it had to be done.

However, just when he was about to destroy a few more ducks; Tiger nearly rushed right into a brick wall when the green girl said his REAL name.]

W-W-WHAAAAAAATTTTT?!

[He was stared at the girl in pure disbelief behind that metallic helmet of his.]

H-How...did you...what? Ahh...?

AH!?

[He's been figured out?!]

Enough!

[Cue spotlight up high. Camera pans upwards to a girl in a sailor fuku, orange skirt with a blue front bow. Orange heels place neatly next to each other, poised and ready to go. On her face was a familiar red mask, obscuring her eyes.]

We shouldn't be fighting!

[Dramatic finger point.]

Our enemies are these adorable ducks! We need to band together and defeat them, not antagonize each other! We are heroes, soldiers of love and justice!

[The girl jumps down off her high perch, landing with grace and ease. The mask is flung away, and Sailor Venus points at Wild Tiger.]

Enough of your shenanigans! Tell us who you really are behind that mask!

[Her turn.]

Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!

[She plays an arpeggio on a glistening harp, and her water attacks the ducks - to little effect; they enjoy water, after all. She frowns, and the water freezes, finally breaking her targets into pieces.]

Venus! Let's all go together!

I'm ready.

[With his secret identity now compromised, Wild Tiger felt rather distrustful of this group of magical girls. He had no idea who they were, but they certainly seem to know him. This worried Tiger greatly.]

You ladies better be the "good guys"--I mean, "good girls".

[Letting out a frustrated grumble, the hero wen back to work. There were just a few of the little ducklings left, and Wild Tiger easily handled most of them thanks to the Sailor Senshi's awesome magic.]

Phew!

[He yanked off his helmet and took off his black mask with an exhausted sigh.]

And here I used to think rubber duckies were cute...

Edited 2011-09-02 03:26 (UTC)

Waah, Kotetsu-san? You're this masked hero?!

[The girls could easily notice the love in Venus' eyes. Ha! Usagi didn't have to be the only one who had a hero to come rescue her!]

Why didn't you tell us sooner?! Jupiter, it's fate, I tell you! F-A-T-E!

Edited 2011-09-02 03:36 (UTC)

[Then Jupiter was... interested in Kotetsu? For just a second, she glanced away.

Right. There wasn't time to worry about that right now. There was something more important to think of instead. Business-like, her voice is firm.]

We need to make sure none of the ducks are still nearby. Let's not get too comfortable yet.

It must be fate! We'll have to work even harder. We can do it, Venus!

[He stared at Sailor Venus and Jupiter with a look of mild shock and awe. Were they REALLY talking about romance stuff in the middle of a fight?

Women. They are so strange sometimes.]

...Ya know, we still have a battle to win.

Edited 2011-09-02 04:18 (UTC)

Of course we do! A battle of love and justice!

[Completely serious now - which was odd, all things considering. Venus, just like Minako, seemed to turn the seriousness on and off. Being a Libra seemed to fit her.]

We'll take it from here. [She winked at Kotetsu, flashing him the V is for Victory sign.

[Ami, of course, remained serious throughout. But neither did she reprimand her friends. Instead, as soon as Venus spoke, she gave a crisp nod.]

Please understand, Tiger-san. We're used to working together. We can do this.

That's right.

We'll also do this for Kaede. After what you went through, it's best you rest. Let us show you what we can do.

[Were these girls seriously going to handle all these "ducks" by themselves? By the way they were speaking, it seemed as if all of them were prepared for war. It was...interesting to say the least.

Kotetsu couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed right now, but it was the good kind of embarrassment.]

Thanks.

[He said with a slight bow.]

Thank you for your help!

[Venus nodded her head at Kotetsu, then turned her attention towards the leftover ducks.]

Everyone, I think a little overkill is in order.

[Venus brought her gloved hand to her lips, kissing it like she was going to blow a kiss. The golden heart appeared, which she grasped tightly. She flung it toward their enemies, calling out her attack.]

Venus Love and Beauty Shock!

Right! [The moment Venus gives the order, the harp shimmers back into her hand. She plays it once more.]

Mercury Aqua Rhapsody! Blow away these illusions!

[It feels so right. She's been so afraid at first, until the others arrived, that she wouldn't be strong enough for any of this.

With them at her side, of course she is.]

Jupiter Oak Evolution!

[ Through it all, Rei had just stood to the side, unimpressed with Venus and Jupiter's boycraziness, though she was mildly impressed with the fact that Kotetsu probably wasn't as useless as she previously thought. Nodding at Venus' order, Rei's Flame Sniper was ready, and she fired off another volley of arrows. ] Mars Flame Sniper!

[While he definitely didn't know who these girls were, Kotetsu knew one thing--they're strong.]

...You ladies really didn't need my help, did you?

[He says as he scratches the back of his head a tad sheepishly.]

Oh well, upstaged again.

[The hero chuckled lightly.]

[It's Mercury, who understands that feeling of uselessness, who turns to reassure Tiger - no, Kotetsu.]

We're very grateful for your assistance. You were a valuable help to everyone in the town by fighting today.

[She looks him over briefly.]

Were you injured at all?

[Venus dusted imaginary dust off of her fuku, flipping her long blond hair behind her shoulders.]

Oh, don't worry, Kotetsu-san! At least you're not running around in a tuxedo and a cape giving corny speeches!

It never hurts to have an extra hand, but Mercury's right--are you hurt?
