"Thank you for flying Juuban International," the head stewardess said with a respectful bow to the customer that had just boarded the plane. "If there's anything I could help you with, please let me know."

"There is one thing, babe. You can find a man to help me." the customer said in an extremely sexist and condescending tone.

If it weren't for the years worth of professionalism, combined with knowing which employees were on her flight, she would have had security escort the man out of the plane. Instead, she picked up the intercom and said, "Kitekaze-kun to the front entrance, please. Kitekaze-kun, please come to the front."

Within moments, Kitekaze Taka had reached the front of the plane and approached the head stewardess.

"What's up?" Taka asked as he looked at her, then at the customer and back to the head stewardess.

"This passenger would like a man to help him." she replied with emphasis on 'man'.

"Oh, I'm so glad you chose me to help him," Taka squealed with effeminate delight as he caught onto the head stewardess's meaning immediately. He then proceeded to be as feminine as possible, which was normal to him, for the entire time that he helped the customer.

A snooty-sounding feminine laughter came from the tearoom.

"Fu fu fu fu..." Yuugao, a purple with pink streak-haired beauty laughed. "So, your demons failed in their missions. I'm not surprised considering how ugly they were."

Palan downed his tea, his hand tightening around the cup so hard as to attempt to keep himself from lashing out at Yuugao in anger. The way Yuugao acted, one wouldn't know that they were allies, much less that they even tolerated each other. Hoshite walked into the tearoom, sitting down next to a seething Palan.

"So what's up, you guys? Anything new in your plans, Palan?" Hoshite asked.

Yuugao raised one eyebrow. "Considering that his little demons failed their missions in not only capturing the pegasus, but also in spreading the energy around I don't think Palan should do anything more. I think he'd just hold us back. After all, his supposedly powerful monsters got beaten by a couple of HUMANS."

She spat out the last word, as if the word human had such a horrid taste in her mouth.

"For the last time..." Palan gritted his teeth. "They weren't human...at least they weren't normal humans at any rate. They were....sailor soldiers...but they had names that were mouthfuls. At least the first one did. Don't know who the second one is...yet."

Hoshite looked at Palan thoughtfully. "Well, if you like, I can take over your missions for now until you come up with a plan to expose the sailor soldiers' identities. That's what you want to do right?"

Palan looked over at Hoshite. "Well, I was actually planning to have my monsters infiltrate this airport because of all the people that goes through there daily. But after the mechanic shop fiasco, I'm not so sure."

Yuugao smirked. "Oh, are you afraid you're losing your touch, Palan?"

Palan seethed again. He really did not like that damned woman.

Hoshite looked at Yuugao reproachfully. "Come on now that's no way for us to act. We're all allies, right?"

Yuugao raised her eyebrows, giving herself an haughty-looking expression. "For now at least we are."

Hoshite then asked her, "Would you be up to taking over the airport mission for Palan?"

Yuugao snorted in a rather unladylike manner. "What would I do with airplanes? You know plants are my specialty!"

"Is that why you're clinging to us like a rash after being in contact with poison ivy?" Palan muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" Yuugao glowered dangerously.

"That's for me to know and for you to figure out..." Palan said with a smirk as he knew that he just got under Yuugao's skin.

Hoshite sighed. "Well then, I guess I'll take this mission. That is, if you don't mind Palan."

"Knock yourself out." Palan shrugged.

Taka was in the middle of his lunch break at the airport, when he noticed a familiar-looking man walk over to him.

"Oh great, not him..." he frowned, although inside he was actually glad to see the guy; he had been so busy lately that he had hardly any time to see the guy.

"Is that all you do around here, drink coffee and eat bagels?" The teal-green haired male asked, raising his eyebrows.

"It beats the hell out of what you're doing here. What do you want, Kaiba?" Taka muttered, seeming to be irritated at Kaiba's presence

"I hadn't seen you lately in the last few days. I thought maybe you had been in a plane crash or something more drastic, and just had to make sure you weren't dead. Since you're not, here's your bill for the rent. Just because you live in my house doesn't give you the right to slack off!" Kaiba answered.

"Gimme a break. It's not even your house, it's a rental!" Taka retorted.

"Whatever. At any rate you still need to pay for your half. There's no way I'm able to pay for whole thing myself!"

They were just getting off on a really good start to yet another full-blown argument for which they were infamous for with Taka's co-workers, when a new voice cut in.

"Err, pardon me?"

The two men turned around to look at the newcomer, and both of them said at the same time, "Yeah, what do you want?"

Hoshite who was wearing his somewhat goofy-looking cowboy hat, seemed a little bit put off by the two men's attitude.

To Taka, he asked, "You work here, correct?"

Taka didn't say anything, he just nodded.

Hoshite beamed. "Great! Now could you please direct me to the airport control room? I'm kind of lost myself...this place is like a maze!"

Kaiba rolled his eyes and sulked away to the snack bar to order a coffee.

"Sorry. No can do." Taka said while shaking his head.

"What? Why not?" Hoshite asked.

"For one thing, I'm off duty. I couldn't help my grandma even if I wanted to. And secondly, no one but authorized personnel can gain access to the control room." Taka replied.

Hoshite blinked.

"Err..." He tried to think of something good, and then finally said, "But I am authorized personnel! I own this airport!"

He then waited to see if Taka would believe the lie.

"Right, and I'm the queen of England." Taka retorted with a snort.

Hoshite frowned at Taka's reaction. He didn't think it was going to work anyway.

"Well, then in that case I guess I'll be off."

With that, he wandered off to search for somebody else at the airport who would let him into the control room.

Kaiba came back with a piping hot cup of coffee and asked, "So what was with that guy?"

Taka shook his head. "Some weirdo. I think I better call security so they can have him checked out. He gives me a strange feeling."

Kaiba pouted. "Okay. but be sure to come back so we can discuss the rent some more."

"You better be waiting with bells on your toes." Taka retorted.

"Bite my weenie, Kitakaze!" Kaiba lashed out.

"With relish, Suisei!" Taka shot back as he smirked, nodding as he left to head towards the nearest security guard.

Hoshite was in the furthest stall from the door of the men's room so that he wouldn't be overheard. He was whispering into his hat, which actually seemed to act as a communication system to Palan's realm.

"I don't know how you expected to pull off this plan! Nobody seems to want to let me into the control room. This started out as yours, did you have a Plan B in case they didn't let you into the control room?"

Palan's voice came out of the hat, with an hollow-sounding effect. "You weren't supposed to ask nicely! You were supposed to hypnotize the crew and have them let you into there! You could even use that energy of yours to make them your brainwashed minions."

Hoshite frowned. "I don't mind being a leader in certain aspects, but brainwashing and having a legion of mindless zombies is not something I care to have. Besides, it'd bring me to your level of fuzzy logic."

Palan groaned. "Hoshite, this is no time to be a sentimental fool...We're doing what we feel is good for the world, correct? Sometimes people don't know what is best for the world, so in those instances, we are going to have to do things by force! Do you want me to send you some of my monsters to help you out?"

Hoshite sighed. "I should stick to my own plans from now on...but if the monsters are required, then I guess you can send them my way."

With that, cards seemed to come flying out of Hoshite's hat, and Palan's voice replied, "If something happens to my tarot monsters, I'm not going to be so pleased. IN FACT I'LL RIP YOUR VOCAL CORDS OUT AND DRINK YOUR BLOOD! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Hoshite just simply ignored that last part, since that was a typical response from Palan. He put the hat back on his head, and picked up the cards.

"Time to conquer the airport. Oh, joy." Hoshite said to himself in a very flat, deadpan voice.

With that, he walked out of the bathroom, where he ran into Taka and two security guards.

"That's him, guys. The guy who claims to own the joint." Taka squealed with girlish delight.

"Oh no..." Hoshite groaned loudly. This was definitely not a good day for him.

He looked around, and saw many people walking by. He then smiled at Taka. "Umm. why don't we take this somewhere more private? Then you can check me out all you want..."

With that, he winked at Taka, assuming that Taka was in fact a woman.

"Sounds kinky. Though I doubt my boyfriend will appreciate the innuendo. All the same, I'm sure these two gentlemen wouldn't mind asking you a few questions in a more private locale." Taka replied.

Hoshite sweatdropped. "Uh, sounds good with me. I surely don't want to air my dirty laundry in public..." He replied, while mentally adding, 'not to mention attracting those unwanted Sailor senshi here!'

With that, Hoshite allowed himself to be escorted to a private room by the guards to be questioned. Taka snorted, and went back to the airport coffee shop where Kaiba was waiting. Meanwhile, Hoshite had pulled out the tarot cards of the monsters inside the secluded room, and summoned the monsters out of the cards.

"Iron Steward here!" a robotic-looking creature appeared.

A second one appeared too, but this time it seemed to be an attractive-looking, blue-skinned alien monster with dark green hair. "Madmossile Aira reporting for duty too!"

Hoshite simply pointed to the guards, who at this point in time was freaking out. "Knock them out and take on their forms. Then I want you to escort me to the control room."

The female monster giggled girlishly in an overly obnoxious manner. "I'm on it!"

With that, she walked over to them and blew a finely ground powder from her hand that seemed to knock the guards unconscious. The two monsters then touched the guards briefly, and took on the appearance of the guards. Turning around and smiling at Hoshite they then all went out of the room, towards the control room.

Taka finished up his coffee as well as his daily argument with Kaiba.

"Well, it's time for me to go back on the clock." Taka replied.

Kaiba shrugged. "So what did you do with that weird guy, anyway?"

Taka just shook his head. "I left him with security. After that, I dunno. I think I'll check up on him before hopping the next flight."

Kaiba smiled. "I'm interested myself too. There's just something about the guy... Mind if I tag along?"

"Knock yourself out." Taka replied.

With that, they stopped by the interrogation room, and Taka was surprised to find the guards lying on the floor.

"Oh, shit." Kabia echoed Taka's thoughts, as Taka promptly called for backup and to secure the airport before Hoshite would get anywhere else.

More security guards arrived, just as Kaiba had gotten done checking for vital signs. Taka told the security guards about Hoshite and how he looked. With that, the security guards spread out, and Taka went to join in on the search. He didn't object when Kaiba joined him. Taka went towards the direction of the control room, where he actually found Hoshite being escorted there by what appeared to be the unconscious guards.

"HEY! What in the hell is going on?" Taka yelled.

Hoshite turned around, and then sighed. "Man, you're a real pain in the ass for an cute lady, you know?"

Kabia snorted while Taka poked him in his ribs.

"Thanks for the compliment, but the last time I checked, I'm a guy! But that doesn't matter. Who are you and what in the hell are you doing?" Taka said.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Hoshite sarcastically replied with a smirk. "It doesn't matter, really. Hoshite's my name."

The fake guards then kicked the door off it's hinges, and Hoshite waved at Taka as he entered the control room.

"HEY!!" Taka yelled, as he and Kaiba tried to follow Hoshite into the control room, only to be blocked by the guard clones.

Hoshite then scratched his head.

"Whoo, in all the excitement, I kinda forgot what I was supposed to do in here." After a brief moment, it came to him as he slapped his forehead. "Oh yeah, the machines."

With that, he outstretched his hands and a flash of energy seemed to shoot from his fingertips into the machines. The machines in the control room seemed to start acting oddly. Some sped up their actions while others glowed eerily.

One of the guards smirked at Taka and Kaiba. "Well, whomever you are, you're too late. In fifteen minutes or so, the virus will spread over this whole airport! There's nothing you can do to stop us!"

"Not unless you have superpowers somehow, which we highly doubt." the other guard scoffed.

"Well, there goes that idea of keeping our secret identities a secret..." Taka retorted as he raised an eyebrow and glanced non-plused in Kaiba's general direction.

"The adventures of Birdboy and Merman?" Kaiba said with a grin at the inside joke names they gave each other connected to their animagus forms.

"Enough idle chit-chat. You're not to pass or interfere with Master Hoshite's plans! Leave and we might consider letting you live." said the second guard.

"And what if we want a fight?" Kaiba asked as he cracked his knuckles.

"Then die!" snarled the first guard as both of the imposters reverted back to their normal guise.

Something within Taka and Kaiba snapped as two distinct auras covered them both.

"Uranus Miranda Power, Make Up!"

"Neptune Triton Power, Make Up!"

After a brief transformation, Hoshite came out of the control room and took note of his borrowed monsters in their natural state & the two new nega-senshi.

"Who in the hell? What's going on?" Hoshite exclaimed.

"Handsome sailor suited soldier of space and aviation, Sailor Negauranus. I would like to help you out. Which way did you come in?"

"Enraged like a tsunami, I am the handsome sailor suited soldier of the ocean, Sailor Neganeptune. It's time to give you concrete shoes so you can sleep with the fishes."

"Aw, hell. More of you Nega-whosits?" Hoshite said a bit dejectedly.

The monsters snarled.

"Super powers or not, this still changes nothing! In the name of Master Hoshite, we shall defeat you!"

The female monster lunged at Negauranus, while the male one took on Neganeptune. Negauranus simply jumped straight up and seemed to have floated in place as the female monster continued its momentum. Neganeptune however crouched and used the male monster's momentum against it to do a full back flip.

Aira, the female monster, wasn't to be stopped by this. Transparent wings seemed to sprout of her back, as she took to the air to attack Negauranus. The male monster's hands became claws and attempted to swipe at Neganeptune as he was doing the back flip.

"Not today, girlfriend!" Negauranus exclaimed before summoning his talisman. "Spacial Delivery!"

Several mini balls of light, each in the shape of the planet Uranus, shot out of Negauranus's talisman and collided with the monster. Aira let out an loud shriek, as she crashed into the ground.

She then wailed, as she noticed that her body appeared to be messed up. "Oh no, you ruined my beautiful looks! You're gonna paaayy!!"

Sailor Negauranus then rolled his eyes. "Oh, puh-lease... You weren't a beauty queen then, nor are you one now..."

Meanwhile, Sailor Neganeptune ducked an attack and kicked the legs from under the monster he was facing. The monster fell on his back with a loud thud.

"Now's not the time to consider how you're looking, Miss Priss." Sailor Neganeptune exclaimed as he briefly looked over at Sailor Negauranus and the female monster. He then managed to summon his mirror talisman. "However, if you insist, reflect on this! Hydro Barrage!"

The female monster screeched, trying to shield her face in an feeble attempt to 'protect' what was left of her 'beauty'. Pressurized water the size and relative shape of basketballs appeared to have shot out of the reflective surface of the Aqua Mirror. The balls of water collected together and crushed the monster between the attack itself and the wall. All that seemed to be left of her body was a few scraps of her metallic body.

The other monster screeched in distress once it realized what had happened to his female companion.

"I can't believe you did that to her! You two are gonna pay for doing that to such a beautiful monster!" With that, he summoned whilwhirds to attack the nega-senshi.

Mentally rolling his eyes, Sailor Negauranus smirked. Wind was his major specialty and with his Space Sword in hand, sliced through the whirlwinds and embedded his talisman into the remaining monster's torso.

"Ughh. Defeated so easily. I can't believe I couldn't even carry out revenge for my beloved..." the monster muttered just before he died.

Hoshite muttered under his breath when he realized that his monsters had been destroyed. "Looks like I'm gonna have to deal with you two by myself. I so hoped that I wouldn't have to fight though. I so loathe fighting." he said to the pair.

Suddenly, two long shadows made an appearance on the floor. Hoshite looked down and followed the shadows to their owners.

"Oh, geeze...here comes trouble." he muttered before sighing. "I'm probably going to regret asking, but who the hell are you?"

"Like the circle of life, I am the infinite sailor suited soldier, Sailor Negaearth. Hell hath no fury when I'm scorned."

"Handsome sailor suited soldier of tough love, Sailor Negavenus. Man, what wouldn't you give to be in my shoes now, eh?"

Hoshite then sweatdropped. "Two, I could had possibly handled. But four of you?! Forget it, I'm getting out of here!"

Hoshite lifted his hat as if he about to do an gesture of respect, and a black wind seemed to come out of his hat. With that, he was gone. Sailor Negaearth and Sailor Negavenus then turned their attentions to the two new additions to their team.

"Swell, more freaks to be partnered with..." Negavenus muttered.

Sailor Negaearth uncerimoniously whacked him upside the back of his head for that comment before commenting herself. "Don't be a dumbass, Negavenus. As for you two... Welcome to the group, I suppose. We would have showed up sooner if Taiyou would have been able to sence you sooner."

"Who's Taiyou and why are you so sure we'd join you?" Neganeptune demanded.

"All in good time, unless you like making big scenes in public." Negaearth replied, indicating that there were people in the distance comming towards them.

"Sister, you don't know the half of it..." Negauranus smirked while rolling his eyes.

After the failure to claim the airport, Hoshite made his way back to the hidden base and plopped himself down upon a couch. Yuugao smirked as she saw the look on his face.

"More of the idiot's mosters failed, I take it?" Yuugao said smuggly.

"Yuugao...must you continue your tirade against him?" Hoshite sighed.

"Yes, it's what keeps me going when things look dismal. And believe you me, your expression alone say things are dismal. So, how many are there this time?" Yuugao asked deadpan, as if she weren't really interested at all.

"Four." Hoshite said as he placed his face in his hands and rested his elbows on his knees.

"Uggh...they're multiplying like rabbits." Yuugao retorted and pratically spat out at the thought.

"And did you happen to catch their names?" Palan asked as he came in in an apparently calm manner.

"Uh...let's see, first it was Sailor Negauranus and Sailor Neganeptune. Then came Sailor Negaearth and Sailor Negavenus. Why?" Hoshite responded.

"Nothing...Nothing indeed." Palan chuckled lightly.

"Indeed, nothing like the vast empty-ness of your brain." Yuugao retorted. "Whereas plants have never let me down."

"That's because you have low expectations." Palan muttered.

"What was that?" Yuugao growled dangerously.

"I'm out of here." Hoshite exclaimed suddenly. He simply could not stand their bickering any longer, so he teleported out of the room to get away from his two cohorts.
