Batmanmarch. A review.

Batmanmarch.

Batmanmarch is a YouTube channel dedicated to Doctor who. On the channel you can find reviews of toys, games, episodes, and many other things that are Doctor who based (although there are Batman and Masters of the Universe stuff to be found as well). But it's mainly a channel where Matthew Toffolo (with the help from his friends and relatives) create whole new Doctor who adventures with the latest action figures. They are very good and deserve to be watched by all. You really get the feeling that these are ether ideas that never made it to production or Big Finish fan fiction. What is really ironic that they kept these adventures as original as possible. Which is why you don't see Patrick Troughton's doctor meeting the Cybermen from Matt Smith's time. And like I said before Matthew also did some Batman and some Masters of the Universe ones as well (although I would like to see an epic hour long special where Jon Pertwee's doctor and U.N.I.T teaming up with He-man and his friends when Skeletor and his forces invade Earth). Anyway the adventures are great and you should watch them. And these are my top six  favourite ones.

Valentines special

My date with Kurumu.

Gary Matrix stood at the edge of the forest early that evening. The sun was setting over the trees, giving it a glowing red look. Gary sighed and looked at his watch for the sixth time. Half past five. "She is running late" he thought to himself "I could never understand that girl" Gary had been waiting for an hour and a half now and he was getting a little annoyed. This wasn't the first time that his was kept waiting. He was just about to phone her to see if she is alright when he heard the familiar flap, flap of wings. Gary looked up to see his date flying towards him. "I'm sorry I am late Gary" Kurumu said landing next to him "I missed the bus and had to fly here" The nineteen year old girl with blue hair retracted her wings under her tight jumper and adjusted her long socks. "Well I'm glad that you're here Kurumu" Gary said smiling "I was about to give up. Now we can get going on our date. Oh and by the way these are for you" Gary handed her a bunch of flowers and a Valentines day card. "Thank you Gary" Kurumu said taking them from him. She read the card as they walked along the dusty path back to town. It was getting late now and the night was closing in. Kurumu loved her card and showed it by holding onto Gary's arm as they walked into town. It would be a lie if Gary said that he didn't like it.

"So where first?" Gary said "It's your treat so you get to decide where to go" "Lets start with dinner" Kurumu said "flying really make you hungry" "Ok then" Gary said and they went off to the restaurant. After they were shown to their table (a quiet corner table where they were alone), they ordered their drinks. "Gary?" Kurumu said as the waiter went to get their drinks "may I ask you something?" "Sure" Gary said "what is it?" "How long have we been seeing each other?" Kurumu said "err.... about three weeks now" Gary said thinking "I could remember that it was a Tuesday that we met....." "Gary!" Kurumu said "be serious please. Yes we have been dating for three weeks but that's not the point. I am a succubus. A female demon that lures males with their attractiveness and then (after a long night of passion) eats them alive. I told you this when we went out the third time. Doesn't that make you feel strange?" Gary thought for a bit when the waiter brought over their drinks. After the waiter had left, he said "Kurumu. The fact that you're a succubus doesn't make me feel weird. I had always admired you as a wonderful person. I never known how much you meant to me until that time I rescued you from that minotaur" "Hey!" Kurumu said "I was doing fine until you showed up. I got that giant freak where I wanted" "Kurumu, he had your head under his foot!" Gary said "he was about to crush it until I ran up and knocked him off his feet" "Well I did say thank you didn't I?" Kurumu said. Gary paused and then said "yes you did" They sipped their drinks in silence for a while. Then Kurumu said "it was kind of you to protect me like that. You managed to distract it long enough for me to get to safety. While Tsukune was rescuing Moka" She said that last bit with a slight anger in her voice. "Well she was trapped under a tree" Gary said "he couldn't leave her like that" "Yeah but I was in more danger than her!" Kurumu said "When he went to rescue Moka, I lost all respect for all men. But then you came and saved me. You made me realise that not all men are bad"  Kurumu reached over and hold Gary's hand. "Gary.... I love you" she said. Her cheeks going red with embarrassment. Gary felt embarrassed too. This was the first time in his life that a girl had said this to him. What should he say in return? Then he knew what to say. "Kurumu..... I love you too" he said smiling. He lent forward and kissed Kurumu on her hand (making her blush even redder). They then ordered their food and spent the rest of the time chatting about resent events in their lives.

After their meal, they went to a nightclub and danced the night away. Kurumu was a great dancer and practically swept Gary off his feet. This was the most wonderful time in both of their lives. Then came the moment that they were dreading. The time for them to go home. Gary decided to walk Kurumu back to Yokai academy. Gary was one of a few humans who know of the academy's existence and had kept it a secret from the rest of the world. As they walked, they continued to talk. "Thank you for a lovely time Gary" Kurumu said "Hey it's alright" Gary said "anything for my girl" "Gary please!" Kurumu said half giggling "I'm too embarrassed as it is". They continued to walk for a long time until Kurumu asked "Do you want to take our relationship to the next level Gary?" Gary looked at her. She was so beautiful in the moon light. "I thought we already are? Aren't we?" Kurumu looked at her boyfriend. "I feel like we are" she said "but I want to know what you think. Should we or not?" Gary thought about it. And then said "I think I will like that". Kurumu smiled and (with a sudden burst of excitement and energy) leapt onto Gary and began to make out with him. Poor Gary was pinned up against a tree. But then he gave in and began to kiss her too. They kissed for a long time. Then they stopped and they continued towards Yokai academy. Which was now in sight. After several more steps, they reached the girls dorm. "I'm afraid I have finals to study for the rest of the month Gary" Kurumu said "but afterwards I am free. So how about another date some time next month?" "Certainly" Gary said "I'll be looking forward to it". "Well see yah" Kurumu said and (after kissing Gary again) she went inside. Gary watched her go inside and then went on his way. Gary and Kurumu were definitely an item and very soon they will be a couple. Gary loved Kurumu and she loved him back. And that is why we have Valentines Day. So that we can show how much we love our loved ones.

Happy Valentines day everyone.

Sailor Moon meets the Puppet Master 14

Epilogue:

In the far off distant future of the next millennium, there was a gigantic city. A city that was built years after the apocalypse. But this city was that of peace and tranquillity. This city was called Crystal Tokyo. And it was the capital of the world. Many of the buildings were futuristic in their design and even the transport was futuristic. But was most impressive was the crystal palace. Looking like shards of pinkish purple crystals, it can be located in the centre of the kingdom. And that is where the now grown up Serena and Darien lived with their daughter Rini. Also located at random places in the city are similar crystal palaces. But these were smaller and simpler than the main palace. These four are of different colours. One green, one orange, one red, and one blue. These are the homes of the other sailor scouts. Rei, Ami, Lita, and Mina (although since Lita married the now King Midnight, she had to keep going in-between ruling a kingdom and serving a kingdom). And as you guessed, Ami lived in the blue crystal palace with Gary (who was now her husband) and their two children Andre and Naoko. Even though it was the next millennium, Both Gary and Ami were alive and well. And also in their early thirties (due to a fact that there was a mystical element in the air that made everyone immortal). 

One late afternoon, Gary was teaching Andre (who also went by the name Alex. Due to the fact the most of his teachers and friends can't pronounce French names) the ways of being a puppeteer. “You’re really getting the hang of it” he said as Andre managed to make his puppet dance “some more lessons and you’ll be ready when we perform for Rini’s birthday” “Thank you dad” Andre said "but I don't think that I am ever going to be as good as you are" "Hey come on Andre" Gary said "you are getting there. I mean this is the ninth time you didn't give up half way through. And also the fourth time that you didn't storm off in a temper. I'm proud of you. But son you don't have to do the same job as me. You can be what ever you want" Andre looked at his father. "Thank you dad" he said smiling "but I do want to become an entertainer just like you. I see the happiness on your face when you perform at the theatre. When you make the audience either laugh or cry or gasp. I also want to do that for people. I mean it's either that or become a doctor like mum. But I don't want to poke around peoples insides" "I understand Andre" Gary said "it also makes me feel queasy. Especially after she went into great details about a heart transplant that she had to perform on Darien" he shuddered at the thought. From a shelf just overlooking them, Gary’s puppets looked down at Gary and his son. Yes every one of them are still alive and intact. Blade, Pin-Head, Six-Shooter, Torch, Tunneler, Jester, Miss Leech, General Cyclops, Doctor Death, Nurse Mercury, and Ninja were given the freedom to walk about the palace and the shelf was now their new home. Only the Decapitron wasn’t present (only because it was deactivated) and sadly Oracle was no longer with them. 

After half an hour Andre’s lesson was over and Gary took his son to the kitchen for a milkshake. As they walked along the hallway, the front doors opened and Ami (now sporting a short ponytail and glasses)  and Naoko walked in. “Hello you two” Gary said seeing them entering “how have you been?” “Great thank you” Ami said “we’ve got some news for you!” “Really?!” Gary said “what is it?” “Tell them Naoko” Ami said. “I’ve past!” Naoko said “I’ve past my final test!” “Really?!” Gary said “how wonderful!” “Yes it is!” Ami said “now Naoko is a member of the Junior Sailor Scouts” She then looked down to congratulate her daughter again, only to notice that she was beginning to cry. “Oh darling what’s the matter?” she said hugging her. “Has it been too much for you?” Gary said. Naoko looked at her father and nodded. “Andre why don’t you take your sister into the living room and play a game or something?” Gary said to Andre “I’ll bring you both a milkshake each” “Ok dad” Andre said and he led Naoko to the living room. 

“You’ve handled that very well” Ami said closing the front doors. “Yeah my father did the same thing” Gary said. Then he and Ami secretly had a kiss in the hallway. "I've got something for you" Gary said feeling around in his top coat pocket. Ami looked on as her husband brought out a small velvet case. "Happy anniversary honey" Gary said handing it over to her. Ami opened it to find a blue crystal neckless inside. "Oh my god Gary this must have cost you a fortune!" she said "and you remembered as well!" She threw herself on Gary and hugged him tightly. "Happy anniversary too Gary" she said "I'm sorry but I was the one to forget this year. I'll make us a perfect dinner to make up for it" "No need" Gary said "I have booked us a table at Le Cigare Volante for dinner. Then perhaps we could take a romantic stroll in the park afterwoulds?" "That's wonderful Gary" Ami said "but what about Andre and Naoko?" "I asked Mina and Itachi and they said that they would be happy to babysit for us" Gary said. Ami felt tears in her eyes. "You are such a wonderful person Gary" she said hugging Gary again "I knew I did the right thing in marrying you and having your children" She kissed Gary more passionately and then said “well if it’s alright for you, I’m going to have a shower before getting ready” She smiled and went on her way. As she walked she then said “and no peaking you two” before heading upstairs. Gary looked to see Blade and Pin-Head peering round the corner. Obviously Ami was talking to them. Gary laughed and then went off to get his children their milkshakes. That was basically what life’s was like since Ami met Gary. And to be completely honest, life couldn’t be happier.

The End

Sailor Moon meets the Puppet Master 13

Chapter 13: All’s well that ends well:

The dust settled as the last remains of the warehouse collapsed into rubble. The battle was over. The battle was won. Everything was still and quiet. Until a hand shot out from the rubble. Ami forced herself out from the rubble and surveyed the damage. The warehouse was now dust and broken bricks. The explosion also cause several other warehouses some damaged too. But not as much. She staggered to her feet as the others began to emerge from the rubble. “Is everyone ok?” Mina asked “I’m a bit battered and bruised” Lita said “but I’m ok”. Ami stood there looking at everyone. Mina, Lita, Rei, Darien, and even Serena (who was back to normal) were all managing to get themselves free from the rubble and stagger away from the damages. Ami had a feeling that there was something missing. Then it hit her. “Where’s Gary?” she asked. “Gary?” Rei said “Oh my god I’ve forgotten about him. He must be still under the rubble!” Upon hearing this, Ami started to search for Gary. Flinging piles of rubble everywhere. Everyone else help in searching too. After a long time they’ve almost given up until Ami noticed something. An arm sticking out from the rubble. “GARY!” she screamed as she ran over and begun to dig under the rubble. She struggled to lift heavy pieces of brick and stone until she managed to reach Gary. She then managed to pulled him out of the rubble and (with the help from the others) carried him to a safe place far from the collapsed warehouse. Gary was laid down and Ami knelt by his side. She began to check his pulse and to see if there wasn’t any broken bones or internal wounds. Thankfully he still had his pulse and there weren’t any damages. "Is he going to be ok?" Serena said knelling beside Ami. "I hope so" Ami said "I really don't want him to be hurt" “You really care about him don’t you?” Serena said. Ami looked at her and said “yes I do. He is the only one who stood by me when you and the others weren’t speaking to me. He cheered me up, comfort me, and gave me the care and attention like that of a friend. And then our feelings for each other grew until we fell in love for each other! We love each other just as much as you and Darien” She began to cry “now I wish that he just wake up” Tears began to fall down her face and fall onto Gary’s face. Then slowly his eyes opened. “Hey” he asked “why the tears?” Ami couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Gary?!" she said "you're alright!" "Of course I am" Gary said grinning "I'm from England. Therefore I am indestructible!" he added jokingly. Ami was over joyed and hugged her boyfriend who happily hugged her back.

Everyone gathered around them as Ami helped Gary to sit up. “Gary” Serena said “all of us here own you an apology. We are so sorry that we declared you a member of the negaveres. With everything that’s happening we just didn’t think……” she stopped talking when Gary put up his hand. “Even though you’ve said some hurtful things Serena” he said “You are forgiven. And so is everyone else” “Thank you Gary” Rei said “I must say that your puppets are amazingly impressive. Especially their fighting skills…….” “Oh my god! My puppets!” Gary said “they must be still under the rubble!” He tried to get up but Ami stopped him “You are in no condition to shift rubble Gary” she said “you need to rest!” “But I can’t leave them!” Gary said “They were left to me by my grandfather and I was trusted to look after them! I have to help them!” “I know that Gary” Ami said “but not now. Just rest and we’ll look for them later” “I don’t think we have to” Darien said pointing towards the rubble. Everyone looked as to their amazement, Gary’s puppets began to emerge from the rubble. Blade, Torch, Pin-Head, Jester, Six-Shooter, Miss Leech, Tunneler, General Cyclops, Ninja, and even the Decapitron. All of them were alright. Gary was happy as they walked out from the ruined warehouse and towards him and the others. “Thank you my friends” he said as they gathered around him “you did well” And as everyone looked on, the puppets hugged their master. “You’ve led them well Gary” the Decapitron said. And then (to everyone’s amazement) its head morphed into that of an old man in his late fifties. With silvery white hair and beard. “The evil we’ve faced today has been defeated” he said “you lot have fought bravely. Well most of you have” Lita, Rei, and Mina didn’t know whether to laugh or be angry. “I’m glad that my grandson has found great friends and allies” Andre Toulon said “and a lover I believe?” Ami nodded in agreement. “You Ami Mizuno,” Andre said “have taken the oath that you’ll keep my family’s secret. I must ask that your friends also take the oath as well. And I take it that Gary will keep your secret too?” Gary nodded in agreement. “Sir I will keep your grandson’s secret safe” Serena said “we all will” Darian added. Andre smiled and then said “Then I’ll leave feeling happy that our legacy will continue for millennia onwards. I am with you Puppet Master. And I am with you too Sailor Moon” And with that his head morphed back into the Decapitron. And then collapsed face down on the ground. “Is he alright?” Mina said “It’s ok Mina” Gary said “his energy has run out. He won’t be coming back until we need him again” Gary then got up and picked up the puppet. "Thank you grandfather" he said quietly. “Come on everyone” Serena said “let’s go home”. “Ok Serena” Lita said “but first….” She then wondered over to Blade, and then violently kicked him. The surprised puppet flew for yards until hitting the ground with a loud thud. “Now we’re even!” Lita said seeing the shock look on the others faces.

They made it back to Gary’s apartment just before dawn. Luna and Artemis had come over when they noticed that their friends had returned. Mina and Rei told them about the battle that just happened and their reactions were mixed. Luna and Artemis were both horrified that they took on a creature from the negaveres without their powers and disappointed that they weren’t contacted and had been there to help them. But at least that the evil was gone for good. The rest of the month went smoothly. Ami decided to stay permanently at Gary’s apartment and had lent her old one to a new student. She and Gary then settled down together with Gary’s puppets. Come Christmas day, Gary invited Serena, Darien, Mina, Lita, and Rei over for Christmas dinner and a party. Even though they didn’t celebrate Christmas, Ami happily told them about the holiday and they all enjoyed the food and the fun. But what they especially enjoyed were the presents that Gary and Ami had brought them. Serena got a silver neckless, Darien got a white scarf, Rei got an elephant plushy, Lita got a pair of silk gloves, and Mina got a small basket of chocolates. Ami meanwhile was given the dress that Lita had brought for her and Gary was given a ring with a symbol of a crescent moon on it. This (Gary was told) was given to those who are friends and loyalist to the Moon Kingdom. And Gary accepted it with great pride. Luna and Artemis also had a reason to feel happy as well. Because Luna just had her kittens. All nine of them. They were all slivery grey with the crescent moon on all of their heads (the same as on Gary’s ring). Luna and Artemis also had apologised to Gary and Ami for what they said. Ami and Gary accepted their apologies and were even told that they can have one of the kittens. The one they chose was a boy with greyish eyes. Which Gary named Icarus.

Afterwards the party was over. Everyone had now gone home and Gary and Ami cleaned up the apartment. Gary’s puppets also helped and after they put Icarus to bed, Gary was left to sweep up. His puppets had gone back to the trunk (they like to sleep there) and Ami had disappeared into her room. Gary swept up a lot of confetti, used crackers, and party hats. He binned them and was just putting his broom away, when he then heard the radio being switched on and tuned to a soft mellow number. Gary went into the lounge to see Ami (wearing the blue dress) diming the lights. “At last” she said turning to face him “we are finally alone” Smiling she offered Gary her hand. Smiling too, he took it and they slowly danced together. As they danced, they hold each other close. Ami laid her head on Gary’s chest and Gary gently stroked her hair. “I’ve always wanted to do this” Ami said “to dance with a guy who I’m in love with. I just get this empty feeling when I see Serena and Darien together. In fact Mina, Lita, and Rei also get the feeling as well” “You lot deserve someone in your lives” Gary said “Well we almost did” Ami said “You see Darien did have some generals at his command when the Moon Kingdom was at its height. Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite. They were going to hitch up with me, Lita, Mina, and Rei but they betrayed us to Queen Beryl. They are now dead but they can be summoned if Darien wants it. But because of their betrayal they can never have a physical form again” “So you’re saying that I may have competition?” Gary said concerned “No Gary” Ami said “They are long gone. And Zoisite the one who was meant for me turned out to be gay. And besides Lita has Prince Midnight of the Nightmare Kingdom (I’ll tell you some other time) and I have you” They gazed into each other’s eyes and then kissed. They kissed for a long time. Then Ami lent forwards and whispered into Gary’s ear “Gary Matrix. Take me to your bed!” Gary wasn’t expecting this but (knowing that he wanted to make Ami happy) he lifted her up (in the same manner as a groom carrying his bride) and he took her to his room. Where they partake in what lovers do when they are alone together.

Sailor Moon meets the Puppet Master 12

Chapter 12: The Final Confrontation:

There was a scream. A loud scream. A scream from someone who was experiencing a huge amount of pain. But it was not Ami who was screaming. The clown yelled in agony and dropped both Ami and the knife. Everyone had no idea why the clown was like this. Then they found out. Tunneler was drilling into one of the clowns ankles and green goo was flying everywhere. Ami didn’t think twice before hitting the floor. Once she did, she immediately got up and ran to the others. The clown swung his foot and Tunneler was flung towards a pillar. Where Pin-Head caught him. The clown roared in agony and then said “YOU WILL ALL DI………” but got no further. Because a foot had whacked across its face and it was sent flying to the other side of the warehouse. Everyone looked at who kicked the clown and were delighted to see who had done it. “Darien!” Serena said. Happy to see her boyfriend again. “Serena!” Darien said “are you ok?” “Yes I’m fine” Serena said “but out of curiosity, why didn’t you do your signature entrance with the rose?” “Well apart from the fact that I was getting tired of it” Darien said “I was told that if I wanted to fight someone then I mustn’t stand around talking about it and just do it. Which reminds me” He opened his inside pocket and took out the four missing sailor wands. “You’ve found them!” Rei said “Thank you so much”. “Hey it’s nothing” Darien said “I couldn’t have achieve it without a little help from some friends” He indicated Jester and Tunneler, who had re-joined the other puppets.

Everyone gathered around Darien and (after retrieving their wands) changed into their sailor scout outfits. Ami on the other hand went over to Gary. “Are you ok?” she asked “yeah I’m fine” Gary said “but what about you?” “I’m alright” Ami said “a little worn out but ok”. She then hugged Gary tightly. “Thank you for being concerned about me” she said “it was so sweet of you. You would had risked your life to save mine. This is why I love you” Gary then gently lifted her head up so that they were looking in each other’s eyes “I know” he said “I love you too” Then he kissed her. They kissed lovingly but then they felt like they’ve being watched. They stopped and looked to see… everyone else looking at them. Serena, Rei, Lita, Mina, and Darien were looking at both of them with ether a “well this is a surprise” or a “what on earth?” looks on their faces. Embarrassed Gary and Ami stepped away from each other. “Would someone explain to me what just happened?” Serena asked. “Well what does it look like!” Lita said. She then indicated for Ami to continue. “Well you see….” Ami started but she was interrupted by a loud growl. A very inhuman growl. Then something began to emerge from the other side of the warehouse. It was the clown. But there was a strange glowing smoke around it. It looked at them with an even more sinister look on its face. “So you really think that you can defeat me?!” it said. And (to the horror of everyone present) it began to change. It grew larger, longer, and its appearance began to change too. So in the end it was no longer a clown. It was now a hybrid of a gorilla and a lizard. But it still had its clown’s face. “I AM FAR MORE POWERFUL THEN ANYTHING YOU CAN EVER IMAGEN!” it shouted “ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I AM IN MY ULTIMATE FORM!” It then roared at them, expecting them to be frightened. Well they were but not as much. “Do you really think that you can just come here,” Serena said walking up to the thing “kidnap us, and threaten to take over our world?” As she walked, a strange glow appeared around her. And her wand was beginning to glow brighter as well. “I have face freaks like you” Serena continued “and they are no longer around to tell you that you are making the biggest mistake ever! SO YOU BETTER GET READY TO JOIN THEM BECAUSE IN THE NAME OF THE MOON I WILL KILL YOU!” And with that she was engulfed in a white ball of energy. Everyone was half blinded by this. Gary wanted to know what was happening. But Ami assured him that everything was ok. After a while the ball went away. Leaving Serena behind. And boy did she looked different. Her hair was longer and more golden, she was wearing a white dress with golden trim, and there were sparks flying off of her. She also had butterfly wings. Gary was spell bound by all of this. He wanted to have a closer look but he was stopped by Darien. Who indicated that Gary should stay back. Serena then raised her wand and aimed it at the creature that stood before her. And a white beam shot out from it. But the clown thing managed to block it and shot out a similar black beam at her, but she blocked it too. 

The battle that followed was long and savage. But it was mainly one shoots a beam at the other while dodging the others beam. All who were watching had to jump out of the way at times. Gary just managed to dodge a massive tail that swung past his head when he notice something. Serena was in agony. And her nose was bleeding. “Oh my god she’s going to die!” he said. He then told the others that Serena was going to die if she continued to fight. “We have to help her!” he said “We can lend her our powers” Mina said “but that will be no use. That thing’s way to powerful!” “Perhaps I could lend a hand” said a voice. Everyone looked to see a small figure entering through a shattered wall. It was one of Gary’s puppets. But this was nothing compare to the other puppets. It was as tall as Six-Shooter but it had two long arms, was wearing a brown leather coat, and grey trousers with black boots. Its head was dark silver with indents where its eyes and nose were supposed to be. Only Gary, Darien, and Ami knew what this puppet was. “The Decapitron!” Darien said “So now you’ve decided to show up!” “We’ll have none of that” the voice said again. The voice in question was like that of a gentleman with a French accent. A voice Gary knew all too well. “Grandfather?” he said “is that you?” The Decapitron turned to face Gary. “It is me Gary” it spoke “I have transferred my soul into this puppet. Even though I wasn’t activated, I was with you where ever you are. I’m proud of you for taken over from me as puppet master. And you have done well. You have uphold the honour of me and your great grandfather. But sadly I can’t talk anymore” The puppet turned towards the clown monster “I have this thing to deal with” it then said and started towards the monster. “Well that was something” Ami said “yes it was” Gary said “but I still think we should help Serena. Lend her your powers and let us defeat that thing together”

Serena was getting a battering. Even thou she wasn’t being hit, she felt like a large hammer was smacking her around. This monster was way too powerful for her to handle. It was now standing over her gloating as she was forced on her knees. “WHO’S TALKING NOW!” it was saying “NOW IT’S YOU WHO IS GOING TO DIE!” Serena could do nothing but conger up a force shield to protect her. But it was beginning to fade. “Well” she thought “It was fun while it lasted”. She closed her eyes waiting for then end. But the end never came. Serena wondered what was happening. Then she heard a loud yelled. She opened one eye and saw something extraordinary. The clown monster was being bombarded by a series of what could only be described as bombs made out of light. Where were they coming from? And who was shooting them? Then Serena’s questions were answered. There was a puppet (that looked like a silver shop window dummy) that was shooting those glowing bomb things. Could this be another one of Gary’s puppets? It must be because it was weird enough. And boy was it powerful. “I’m glad my powers are still up to date” it said in a French accent. “WHO ARE YOU?” the clown monster said “DO YOU INTEND ON FIGHT ME TOO?” “No” the puppet said “I intend on defeating you! You are an evil I cannot allow to live. And you must be stopped!” “WELL THEN DIE!” The clown monster said and turned its attention on it. Leaving Serena to rest for a bit. She collapsed on the rubble gasping for breath. The clown monster was now battling that puppet. But the puppet was doing a better job than her. Serena just wanted to close her eyes and hopefully she’ll wake up in her bed back home. But then she felt something. A sudden warmth flooding thru her. She found the strength to stand up. Serena looked around her and saw her friends on the opposite end of the warehouse. Mina, Ami, Rei, and Lita all were glowing and concentrating on her. They were lending Serena their powers. “Thank you my friends” Serena thought and she picked up her wand and went towards the clown monster. Which was by now being hammered by the Decapitron. “How can something so small be so powerful?!” it was saying “I am far more powerful than you think” the Decapitron said “I can if I want do this!” It then shoot out lightning bolts from its palms at the clown monster. Which were supper affective. “Impressive” said a voice. The Decapitron turned its head to see Serena walking up to stand by its side. “So were you” It said “with our powers combined, we can defeat this abomination” “let’s do it” Serena said. They combined their powers together and attacked the clown monster. The clown monster did its best to strike back but by now its powers were getting weaker. Then the Decapitron struck. He sent a lightning bolt at the left hand side of the clown monster’s chest. Causing a massive explosion that torn the clown monster’s chest apart. Leaving a massive open wound, exposing everything inside. Including its heart. “THERE!” the Decapitron said “KILL IT SERENA! STRIKE AT THE HEART!” Serena knew just the right finishing move. “MOON LIGHT ULTRA BLAST!” she screamed. A gigantic white beam shot out from her wand and strike the clown monster’s heart. It exploded and then continued through the clown monster, bursting out from its back. The clown monster roared in pain. “DAM YOU!” it screamed “DAM YOU ALL TO HELL!” And with that it exploded.

Sailor Moon meets the Puppet Master 11

Chapter 11: The Puppet Master vs The Toy Maker:

Serena was trying again to untie herself. But it was no use. She had tried everything. From trying to force herself out of the wrapping paper to biting the paper. But everything she did hadn’t work. She then gave up and began to cry. This is truly the end of her and the Sailor Scouts. She thought that this day would never come. But it has and now she must accept it. “Hey why the tears?” said a voice. Serena looked up and tried to see who was talking to her. She knew the voice all too well. “Ami!?” she said “Is that you?!” “Yes it is” Ami said “Now hold still while I just….” She began to untie the wrappings around Serena. In a little time later Serena was freed and soon they began to untie the others. One by one Lita, Rei, and Mina all woke up and were told about the situation. “So this clown freak wants to take over the world?” Mina said “that’s nothing we can handle” “I doubt it” Serena said “I could sense that the clown is too powerful. More powerful than anything we had encountered before. And I regret to say this but we can’t face it alone” “We not going to” Ami said “Gary and his puppets are already helping us. Also Darien is looking for your Sailor wands and together we can defeat this freak” “Yeah about that…..” Lita said. She went over to Ami and (to the astonishment of Rei, Mina, and Serena) she flung her arms around Ami and hugged her tightly. “I’m sorry!” she said “I’m sorry for everything I’ve said. It was completely heartless of me to say that you’ve betrayed us and joined the Negaveres. I’ll understand if you don’t ever forgive me. But I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for everything” Ami was taken aback by all this. Then she too hugged her friend. “Even though those things you’ve said really did hurt me” she said “you four are still my friends. I forgive you. All of you” “Ami” Serena said “I’m sorry too that I forced you out of the Sailor Scouts. With everything that happened to us, I didn’t know what to think. So… you would like to re-join us?” “More than anything!” Ami said happily. “Well, well, well” said a voice. Everyone looked to see the clown standing just behind them. “Looks like I have all four of you in my possession. Now the fun can really begin!” “Gee you think!” Serena said “You failed to realise that we are now free and ready to beat the crap out of you! IN THE NAME OF THE MOON WE WILL PUNISH YOU!” “But YOU failed to realise that only your blue friend has her sailor wand” the clown said “so it will be extremely difficult for you to try and defeat me!” “We don’t care” Ami said “we may be depowered right now but we’ll do anything to protect our friends, love ones, and future generations before us!” Everyone looked at Ami. This was a very brave thing for her to do. Normally it would take all of them to say brave things like that (that doesn’t say that they were brave themselves) but it takes more courage for one to protect their friends who just turned their backs on them. And for the first time since they met it, the clown was slightly less smug about this. But then it grinned again. “Well then” it said “I think that this is gonna be fun!” It then began to advance on the five girls. Only Ami can protect her friends against the clown. But what they didn’t know is that Ami had back up. And timing couldn’t be better because the large doors on the other side of the warehouse were blown apart.

Everyone (apart from Ami) jumped at this. “WHAT THE?” the clown said running to see what caused the explosion. Ami and the others also went to see. And all of them arrived to see a silhouette of a figure stepping through the smoke. And as the smoked cleared, everyone saw who it was. “I don’t really like the idea of a fat git like you terrorising a group of girls like that!” Gary said stopping just forty yards away from the clown “Especially when my girlfriend is one of them!” (Ami literally blushed at this). The clown growled angrily at this new comer. “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!” it said “YOU DARE MOCK ME!” It then began to rant and rave insanely. But failed to notice Gary signalling to Ami to take the girls and flee. Ami nodded and the girls ran off. Gary then turned back to the clown and said “My you don’t have any control over your temper don’t you” The clown stopped ranting and glared at Gary. “Well then” it said getting back to its sinister style of voice “it looks like there’s one more to me to kill” “Well if I am to die” Gary said “would you mind telling me who you are?” “I am Bobo the toy maker!” the clown said “and who are you again?” “I am Gary Matrix” Gary said loudly “The Puppet Master!” And with that, all of his puppets stepped out from the demolished door. Well not all of them. Two of them are on a mission of their own. The clown looked at the puppets with amazement. “What is this?” it said laughing “your back up? Tiny figures? You must be mad to try and……” The clown was cut short when a brick hit it in its face. It fell to the ground clutching its face in pain. Gary glanced at Pin-Head (he had thrown the brick) “Thank you” Gary said “I needed that. But remember the plan ok. Darien, Tunneler, and Jester need time to locate the Sailor wands. So we need to distract this thing long enough…..” “WHAT THERE’S OTHERS?” the clown said. He then yelled at the top of its lungs “WE HAVE INTRUDERS IN THE BASE. FIND THEM AND KILL THEM!” And from everywhere in the base, toys of all descriptions came pouring out from crates and boxes. From toy soldiers to creepy looking dolls, they began to swarm everywhere like insects. Gary groaned to himself. Why didn’t he keep his mouth shut? But anyway he then gave his puppets their orders. “PUPPETS ATTTACK!” he said and the puppets attacked. The battle had just begun.

Meanwhile elsewhere, Darien was looking various other rooms in another part of the warehouse. He was looking for the stolen sailor wands that he hoped might be in one of these offices. But so far he had no luck. Nor did the two puppets that Gary lent him. “Did you find anything?” Darien asked as Jester and Tunneler met up with him in the corridor. Both of them shook their heads. Jester even spun his head so that his “sorry” face was showing. “It is ok guys” Darien said “I’m having no luck ether. I’m beginning to think that they are not here at all……” He stopped as he noticed a door at the end of the corridor. Darien hadn’t notice this door before. Maybe they are in there? Darien headed towards the door with Jester and Tunneler following behind. Darien pushed open the door and entered quietly. The room was empty except for a table. And on the table were the sailor wands! “There they are!” Darien said going over to the table. Quickly he picked them up and put them in his inside pocket. “Right” he said “now I have to get back to Gary. Luckily he’s with the girls by now” But then he heard a comical yet creepy laugh. Darien turned to see…. A creepy rabbit toy. “What’s yah doing?” it said in a voice that came straight from a 1950’s children’s show. “What is it to you?” Darien said “you are stealing the wands aren’t you?!” the rabbit said “I’m afraid that can’t happen” it then picked up a basket of Easter eggs and selected two of them. It then thrown them at Darien who ducked out of the way. But these were no ordinarily eggs. They exploded as soon as they hit something. Darien was blinded by the flashes. He had to take shelter behind the table as the rabbit threw more exploding eggs. But then Jester attacked the rabbit. He had spun his head and selected the angry face. Jester punched the rabbit and then whacked the basket of eggs out of reach. Darien watched as the puppet then grabbed the rabbit’s paws and hold it back. Then Tunneler stepped forward. The drill on his head began to spin wildly. Then lowering his head, Tunneler charged at the rabbit. The drill went straight into the rabbit and (after some time) it a circuit. The rabbit went up in a ball of flames and fell dead on the floor. Darien got up from behind the table and looked at the burnt out remains of the psycho rabbit. Jester and Tunneler both looked up at Darien with a “what now?” look on their faces. “I can see why Gary likes you lot” he said. The puppets nodded in response. Darien made a mental note to stay on their good sides and all three of them went off to find the girls.

Meanwhile there was chaos back in the warehouse. Puppets fighting toys and toys fighting puppets. With humans caught in-between. Ami and Gary did their best to protect the others. But it wasn’t easy seeing that the toys vary in size and shape. Rei found herself against a corner by a savage teddy bear. The same savage teddy bear that kidnapped her in the first place. It swiped at Rei and tore at her skirt. But then Blade dashed over and pushed Rei out of the way. Then Blade and the teddy bear went at it savagely. Swiping at each other with blades and claws. But finally Blade got his hook into the bear. Within seconds the bear was in shreds. Rei thanked Blade for rescuing her and she went to find a safe place. Meanwhile Lita was annoyed. “Let go of me!” she said as she flung a ragdoll off of her. But then she heard a voice from behind her. “Hey hot head” it said “just chill would you?” Lita turned to see a creepy looking snowman standing right behind her. It was holding icicles in its hands like daggers and it was grinning madly. “What do you want pal?” Lita said “Oh I just want to show my cold side” the snowman said. But before it could do anything, something small walked in-between it and Lita. It looked up at the snowman and raised its stumpy right arm. “And what do they call you?” the snowman said “Twinkle toes?” Torch ignored the question and activated his flamethrower. The snowman was engulf in a fireball and melted within seconds. Lita thanked Torch and went to find Rei. Elsewhere Gary was having trouble with a giant slinky. It wrapped itself around his throat and was choking him. Ami noticed this and ran over to help Gary. With Ami’s help, Gary managed to tare the slinky off of him and threw it away. Ami then gave Gary a quick kiss then she ran off to save Serena from a singing doll. Blade and Pin-Head were also having difficulties. Pin-head had just encountered a robot and was having difficulty trying to defeat it. Blade then jumped on its back and managed to distract it long enough in order for Pin-Head to break its arms off. Miss Leech was also fighting alongside her friends. She didn’t have any fighting skills but her special trick is that she can vomit up legions of leeches and send them out to do her bidding. Which came in use when she had to fight off a large clockwork spider. Rei and Lita managed to find a stack of crates and hid behind them. “This is insane” Rei said “I hate not having my sailor wand with me. I would clean out this place” “me too” Lita said “I just hope that our wands would be found soon so we can get on the action……” “HELP ME SOMEONE!” someone shouted. Lita and Rei looked over the crates to see Mina. She was in danger. A Jack in the box had freed itself from its box and had wrapped itself (like a snake) around Mina. “I CAN’T GET THIS THING OFF OF ME!” she was yelling “I CAN’T BREATHE!” “Don’t worry Mina!” Lita said “we’re coming!” She and Rei jumped over the crates and ran over to help their friend. But the jack in the box was more savage then they thought. It then bit Lita on her hand. But its triumph didn’t last because tiny bullets began to bounce off its head. Six-Shooter was letting loose a fury of bullets at the jack in a box and eventually it let go of Mina. The Jack in the box then went after Six-Shooter who was still firing at while Lita and Rei carried Mina to safety. Six-Shooter then continued to fight the Jack in the box and managed to defeat it by blowing its head off. Six-Shooter then did the traditional cowboy trick (spinning his guns and then placing them back in their holders) and then went off to help his allies. 

Serena was behind the crates when Lita and Rei arrived with Mina being supported between them. “Is she ok?” Serena asked as they laid her down. “She just needs to get her breath back” Lit said “Oh I wish I had my sailor wand with me! I really want to get back at those toys!” “Me too!” Rei said “this is our fight and we are reduced to the typical damsels in distress” “If only Darien can retrieve our sailor wands” Serena said “then we can help Ami and Gary. But at the moment we must keep our heads down….” Suddenly the crates were flung everywhere. Gary it seems had been thrown against the crates and now the only safe haven they had was demolished. “Oh man sorry” Gary said getting off of Lita (who both liked and disliked a boy landing on her). Then there was a loud yell. The clown had caught Ami and was now holding her up by the neck. “Not so powerful now are you!” it was saying. “AMI!” Gary yelled as he saw her in danger. Hearing this, the clown then lowered Ami to the ground and stood behind her (still holding on to her from behind) “Don’t get any ideas pal!” the clown said. It then produced a long knife from its sleeve and hold the blade against Ami’s throat. “Make any move what so ever and I’ll slice her up!” it said. “DON’T YOU DARE!” Gary said. He was about to lunge at the clown but Lita grabbed his arms and hold him back. “Don’t Gary!” Lita said “it’s no use!” “LET GO OF ME!” Gary demanded. Serena looked at him. He had tears in his eyes! Is it possible that he had feelings for Ami? He was determined to rescue her from that clown. Serena then heard Ami calling out to him. “Gary please” she was saying “listen to Lita. Stay back”. Gary didn’t want to, but did as he was told. “That’s a good boy” the clown said “now you can stay there and….. WATCH YOUR FRIEND DIE!” It raise the knife up and was ready to plunge it into Ami’s throat.

Sailor Moon meets the Puppet Master 10

Chapter 10: The Sinister Toy Maker:

Serena stirred and woke up in a cold disused warehouse. She had no idea how she got there or why she was there. But then everything came flying back to her. The creepy snowman, Mina in trouble, Darien being thrown out of a window, and then…. Serena couldn’t remember anything else afterwards. She looked around herself and saw her friends. All tied up like Christmas presents. Serena found this slightly comical. Until she found herself tied up in the same way. She tried to loosen the straps on her bondages but it was no good. Serena was about to wonder how to escape and free her friends until she heard someone talking. Whatever was talking, it wasn’t human. “So you have four of them?” it was saying “that means that there is still one left. Still that can wait. Show me the four that you’ve already caught” Serena then began to hear footstep. But these footsteps are heavy and squelchy. Then something came into view from behind a stack of empty crates. It was a group of toy soldiers. Serena sighed with relief. But then something else followed behind them that made her terrified again. It was a clown. A big clown. A big, obese, demonic clown with a face that looks half melted and with teeth that were sharp and crooked. “Arrr… you must be Serena” it said “a.k.a Sailor Moon, a.k.a Neo Queen Serenity. Future queen of Earth!” “That’s right” Serena said “and who are you?” “Forgive me” the clown said “how rude of me for not introducing myself. My name is Bobo. The Toy Maker!” Serena didn’t react to this. Seriously that was the best name it could come up with? Ok its appearance is horrifying to look at but it could get a better sounding name. But the clown was still talking so Serena went back to listening. “I have learnt so much from you and your previous battles. Queen Beryl, the Death Moon Clan, the Heart Snatchers, the Dead Moon Circus and the Shadow Galatica. And now it’s my turn” “Your turn?” Serena said “your turn to do what?” “To conquer the world of course” The clown said “I have an infinite army of toys at my command that will, given time, will dominate the whole world. But then I realised that only you and your friends would be the only obstacle in my way. So I decided to take you lot out. One by one. So far I have managed to capture you and these three” He waved his hand in the direction of Lita, Rei, and Mina. Serena then realised that Ami was the only one left. At least she will come to their rescue….. Oh wait. Ever since she and everyone else declared that she was no longer a Sailor Scout, Ami had been advoiding them ever since. And she was extremely sad about this. Would she come to rescue them after what they had done? Dose she even know about this? Will this be the end of Serena and her…“WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME WHEN I’M TALKING TO YOU!?” the clown screamed in Serena’s ear. Covering her face with saliva. “I’ll have great pleasure in killing you” the clown said “better yet I might turn you into my personal Barbie doll” The clown then grinned. Serena was now desperate to get untied and send this clown back to where ever it came from. But she needed to keep it talking so it wouldn’t notice. So she then said “So you want to take over the world right? Well you are the only one who had done their homework. Getting rid of us one by one was a good decision you’ve made. But you should had killed us when you’ve had the chance. Because you’ve made the biggest mistake ever in keeping us alive” “Oh have I?” The clown said “because I was just planning on ways on killing you. I had sent some of my servants ahead of me before my arrival so they can spy on you and learn about you lot. You know to see if you have any weaknesses. Haven’t you seen any suspicious activity for the past few months?” Now that it come to mention it, Serena had heard some suspicious rumours. About small figures spying on everyone at the college. She and her friends thought that it was Gary’s doing. And that thought grew stronger when they found out that he had living puppets. So if it weren’t them then it was this abomination’s toys. Serena then made a mental note to apologise to Gary. But then the clown started talking again. “I have plenty of ways of dispatching you and your friends” it said “And if you are wondering where your Sailor wands are…. Well I’m not going to tell you” Then he laughed loudly. Serena was both horrified and a little annoyed by everything the clown had said. It wants to conquer the world with a killer toy army. That sounds like something out of a weird low budget B movie. Serena just hoped that Ami would forgive her and rescue both her and the others. If she knew about it. 

But what she didn’t know is that Ami was already about to rescue her. Because just overlooking the hanger was a series of large windows. And that’s where both Blade and Six-Shooter were when the clown was giving its speech about world domination. Quickly and silently they slipped off the sloping roof and headed towards a small hut just close to the warehouse. And inside was were Ami, Darien, Gary, and the rest of the puppets were hiding. Jester was on watch. Looking out from the little window he could see everything. And he saw Blade and Six-Shooter heading towards them. Jester spun his head and stopped at his happy face. He then turned and signalled to Gary that they are coming. “Oh thank god” Gary said opening the door to let them in. “So what did you discover?” Ami said as they stood in a circle around the only light there is (which was a rubbish bin filled with paper that Torch had set alight). Blade and Six-Shooter did their best to explain what they have seen and heard. Gary was the only one that understood what they were saying. “Serena and the others are safe but there is a demonic clown that wants to take over the world using killer toys” he translated. “Oh god this sounds familiar” Darien said “what do you mean by that?” Gary said “let’s just say that we’ve encountered something similar before Gary” Ami said “well other sailor scouts have. Just before we encountered Queen Nehelenia” Gary nodded. He didn’t admit it but he was nervous. Not that he was about to go into battle. But because he had just awaken one of his grandfather’s most powerful puppet. The Decapitron. It stood quietly with the other puppets and they too were well aware of its presents. Gary must use it carefully. Otherwise it would be disastrous. He didn’t want it to overload with power and take out the whole of Tokyo. “So do we have a plan or something?” Darien said interrupting Gary’s thoughts. “Not at the moment” Gary said “just let me think”. And he began to plan something that would lead to the ultimate showdown in both of their history. And with the lives of everyone on the planet at stake, they just had to win.
