Description: Welcome to the anime museum! Where characters come alive! Witness the many costumes as people mill about and randomly get attacked! Just what -does- happen when Joe's manager books him at the museum for some sort of title match for a league that neither Joe nor his completely random opponent belong to?
Mitaka, a nice western suburb of Tokyo.
Home to one of the commercial anime museums in the country.
Crowds bustle through the mazelike interior, stopping every so often to view many of the child-oriented art displays. Not usually a place for adults like Rainbow Mika! That's to say, it would be easy to assume that an aspiring Professional Wrestler would never be caught dead in a place like this; let alone alive.
But there is no pro-wrestler here today. Nope! Wanting to have a day of freedom to come and go from the museum as she pleases, she's transformed herself! Instead of having her bangs parted to the side today, they split down the middle. Pigtails have been turned into odango and red baubles adorn the center of each little 'dumpling' on her head. A plastic tiara made to look like gold comes down in a vee shape on her forehead, the center piece of this item also decorated with a red bauble. Sporting a white and blue seifuku that has an extremely short skirt, she reaches back to adjust the HUGE red bow that's resting at the small of her back. Her boots have been replaced with knee high boots of red and her hands are covered in long white gloves that reach her elbows, where they are trimmed in red.
Transformation complete! Rainbow Mika is no more and in her place stands....
SAILOR MIKA! Champion of Justice!
Girl who's been mistaken more times than not and has had rude little kids trying to cling to her. It's all she can do to stop herself from barking down at them to behave and mind their parents. Paragons of good don't do things like that though!
Sneaking away for a break, she's sitting just outside the Straw Hat Cafe with a great big bubble tea and is sipping at it furiously before another round of annoying children decide they want to pull her bow or ask her where her cat is.
'What am I doing here?' was the question running repeatedly through Joe Higashi's mind as he waded through the throngs of children, trying to arrive at his appointment on time. He didn't really want to be here in the first place, but his manager, Chaz Periwinkle, had insisted he do this job. In fact, he had come over at 8am to insist that Joe do this job, which has left Joe a little grumpy. It wasn't bad enough that he had to get up early, but he had to get up early, put on a really stupid costume, and be escorted by his overzealous manager through the museum to what he believes to be some sort of weird title fight for a league he didn't even know he was in.
The costume provided for Joe was one that it seems everyone except Joe recognized. He was wearing a bright orange gi with blue boots and a blue undershirt. To him, it felt as though he was some sort of crossing guard that had forgotten his stop sign. As if to add insult to injury, his normally spikey hair had been dyed blonde that morning by Lilly, who promised hopefully that it would wash out quickly. Joe had no idea who he was, but everyone kept calling out 'Goku!' whenever he was shuffled past. A few excited fans even took to punching him in the stomach. Ah, children.
"Excuse me! Coming through! Pardon me!" Chaz appologized profusely as he dragged Joe through the crowd, trying to avoid people wanting Goku's autograph as he made his way to the Straw Hat Cafe. Once the cafe was in sight, Chaz shoved Joe forward and gave him the sparkling smile and thumbs up that seemed to be a prologue to most of Joe's recent disasters. "Knock em dead buddy. Just look for the blonde girl in a really skimpy school uniform. I've got... a meeting!" With that, Chaz ducked into the nearest crowd, not wanting to be around for when Joe figured out what was going on.
Joe signed, his hair drooping slightly in sympathy. He had no idea what Chaz was up to, but since he was bound to the slimey bastard with a contract, Joe had no choice but to do whatever jobs he was told, even if both sides weren't always properly informed. He gets within about ten feet of the girl he believes is his opponent today and tries to get her attention! "Hey! You! Schoolgirl! I have to beat you up!" This earns him more than a few strange looks as well as some horrified gasps from a passing group of real schoolgirls. His shouts had been drowned out, so without really thinking, Joe grabs a salt shaker from a nearby table and chucks it lightly at the girl to get her attention! "HEY!"
Mmm. Bubble tea! Great big bubbly tea. Ice cold. So very good!
PLOP!
When a salt shaker suddenly appears in the drink, Sailor Mika holds it out in front of her and gives it a very odd look. "HEY! I DIDN'T ORDER THIS!" Plastic cup sliding out of her hand as she tries to pull a glove off to extract the foreign object, it hits the ground and covers it with tea, bubbles and plastic shrapnel.
SPLASH!
Boots drenched she peers across the way, baby blue eyes narrowing upon the Yu-Gi-Oh wannabe. "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BEAT ME UP? I'M JUST A TOURIST!" Hands settle against each hip and she frowns at him. "YOU OWE ME A BUBBLE TEA!" HMPH! Ruining her day off, he is! So very rare that she takes a break from training to enjoy herself! HOW DARE HE?!?!

Having seen Goku attack Sailor Moon, a crowd of children and their parents had begin to accumulate in the area, waiting to see what exactly was going on. There was no mention of live shows in the brochure, but few people would pass up free entertainment. The lines had been drawn, and unfortunately for Joe, the number of people rooting for Sailor Moon severely outnumbered the number of people rooting for Goku, which means most of the crowd had already starting booing him and scolding him for picking on the schoolgirl.
Joe was already annoyed at having his good night's sleep interrupted for what he was certain would be yet another disasterous fight. And instead of going on a nice date with Lilly to that new italian place down the street from his apartment, Joe was stuck attacking schoolgirls in public.... AGAIN! He couldn't hear what the pigtailed girl was yelling at him, so rather than move closer so he could figure out what was being said, Joe just grabs another salt shaker and chucks it a bit harder towards the girl. The crowd was bugging him, his outfit was bugging him, and now the look on his opponent's face was bugging him. He really should have gotten more sleep last night.

Gack! More salt shakers being thrown her way? Though it's likely easy to dodge, Sailor Mika has had about enough salt thrown in her direction. Grabbing a bag from a passing child, she tosses it at the salt shaker and then pulls at the side of her cheeks in a 'NYAH NYAH' kind of way.
Then she's approaching the orange Gi'd man. "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, HUH? ALL I WAS DOING WAS ENJOYING SOME BUBBLE TEA!!!" Hands are once more placed upon her hips and she shakes her head. "YOU BETTER TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON OR THIS IS GOING TO GET MESSY!" The voice is loud, but not angry.
Yet.

A satisfied smirk on his face, Joe was internally gloating at his great aim when his salt shaker attack was cast aside by the thrown bag. He barely had enough time to close his eyes and grit his teeth as the bag containing some sort of heavy porcelain figure slammed into the side of his head, causing him to stagger sideways. A serious of ooohs and aaahs pass through the crowd, which begins to form in wide circle surrounding the pair, with only the occasional clueless straggler walking inbetween.
A stray bit of blonde hair droops down in front of Joe's eyes, obscuring his vision for a few moments until he bats it away in annoyance. "Tea? What tea? Come on already, I'm here on time! I haven't got all day you know!" With that, the impatient Joe Higashi lunges forward a step, his body ducking slightly as he brings his right arm upwards in a powerful uppercut... that is nowhere near Sailor Mika. A slight breeze picks up, and in the blink of an eye there's a vortex closing the distance between The Wannabe Goku and Mika, scattering the few people in the way as they dive for cover. A confused chorus pipes up from the crowd, wondering why Goku isn't shooting fireballs!
... Except, the vortex piddles out well before it even reaches the blonde girl. Joe sighs heavily, shaking his head at the impotent gust. Of all the days to have troubles with his own moves. He's quick to react to the move failure, and quickly leaps to replace the lost tornado with his own foot as he lunges forward suddenly!

"MY BUBBLE TEA!" Sailor Mika points down at the mess on the floor, but already a janitor is sloshing a mop through it to clean it up. Woe! The poor little bubbles in the tea! "Here on time for wha--" There's energy coming toward her? No. No... there's a foot coming toward her! The switch up in attacks confuses the buxom blonde and she's unable to even think about dodging the foot. Jutting her knee up quickly to take the brunt of the attack, she winds up taking it to the shin instead.
"OW-OW-OW!" Okay, so maybe it didn't quite hurt -that- much, but it's enough that she can put on a good show, right?
"LOOK, BUDDY, I DON'T GOT A CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" HMPH! He's still attacking her without saying why! Flailing about in an anime-esque manner, Sailor Mika begins to whine. "WAaAaAaAaaaaaah!" She's seen enough anime, apparently, that she can pick up on their nuances well.
Just then, Sailor Mika does something that's -not- very like a Sailor Moon character. Back turned to Joeku, she hops toward him; buttocks first. The attack is aimed at his face; very fan-servicey of her to do that! Especially dressed like she is. Either hit or miss, when she lands she takes a moment to rub at her tush before getting up to face him once more.
"NOW EXPLAIN!!!"
COMBATSYS: Joe fails to interrupt Shooting Peach from R.Mika with Strong Punch.

Joe 0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0 R.Mika
The pig-tailed girl was apparently getting into her character as far as Joe was concerned, so he ignores the demands for an explanation and just continues to make his angry faces, which do impress the crowd. Joe was about to say something dramatic and equally impressive when suddenly all he could see was a full moon headed straight for him! He tries to react by slamming his fist into it, but he misjudges the distance entirely and his fist ends up swishing past his target. Of course, this leaves the Joe dressed as Son Goku to be slammed into butt-first by the blonde. The attack hits his chest, knocking him backwards to the edge of the crowd of Sailor Moon fans, who are throwing candy and booing loudly at him.
Joe stands up and shakes his head, "Come on! Get serious already! If we're showing off asses here, then so be it! The blonde-haired Higashi wheels around and drops his pants, waving his own moon back and forth at Mika, "Not quite as shapely, but equally awesome!" Mothers cover their children's eyes, Dads cringe away, Grandmothers stare and a loud gasp can be heard from the crowd in response to the display. "Now I'm here for a fight so you'd better give me one! I need the paycheck!"
"PUT THAT THING AWAY BEFORE SOMEONE HAS YOU ARRESTED, IDIOT!" Lord! This guy is worse than all the rude kids combined! Sailor Mika doesn't let the bare bottom affect what she does at all. "FINE! YOU WANT IT THAT WAY?"
The blonde keeps one hand on her hip and points the index finger of her other directly at him. "I'M HERE TO RIGHT WRONGS AND TRIUMPH OVER EVIL! AND THAT MEANS -YOU- SON GOKU!!!" Thusly proving that it's extremely hard to 'get serious' when one is dressed up like an anime character. Seems like she's destined to costume fight again, which was fun enough as Alice but she's not got a lively little prop with her this time. Alas! Poor Sylvester was given away on that Monorail so that she could have some peace and quiet.
To make good on her promise to 'triumph' she throws out a quick, head-level swipe. Partially just hoping to knock some sense into the man. Partially hoping to knock some sense -out- of him at the same time.

Had Joe been less busy trying to pull his pants back up, he might have noticed the incoming punch. Had he been a bit more adept at trying the belt on the costume, he might have had time to even got out of the way. And had Joe had the sense to bring up his hands to block, he might not have gotten pounded in the jaw by such a telegraphed attack. Perhaps he really does need an official invitation to defend against it. He twists to the side from the force of the attack and holds that position for a moment, rubbing his sore chin before standing up, a grin on his face. "Now that's more like it!"
Mika had gotten a good punch in, now it was Joe's turn. But rather than risk missing with just one punch, Joe-Goku begins to throw a flurry of punches at Sailor Mika, none of them particularly aimed, but all of them intended to hit their target hard. The small group of emo schoolkids that were the only ones cheering for Goku erupt into applause as Joe inadvertently performs a signature attack from their favorite series!

Whack. Whack. Whack. And so and and so forth. Sailor Mika seems to brace herself for the punches, but at the same time? THEY STILL HURT! Baby blue eyes well up with tears reminiscent of Sailor Moon and she bawls. Not literally, but she plays it up a lot. "WaAaAaAaAaAHHHH! YOU'RE MEAN! PICKING ON A POOR DEFENSELESS SCHOOL GIRL!"
NOW Sailor Mika's voice sounds upset. Wiping the big crocodile tears from her eyes, she stares over at Joeku and frowns. "Do you see that, kids? See how mean he is to me? Why don't you tell him to go back to summoning monsters from cards?" Deliberately getting it wrong, she gets a few giggles from the crowd, calming a few of the younger children down. What she's about to do though...
... is going to have them upset again, for sure.
Situating herself to the side of Joeku, she grabs for his shoulder with one hand, his neck with the other and makes an attempt to lift him up and slam him down to the ground. "NNRAR! EVIL uhhh... Darkverse scum!" So she doesn't know the show -that- well, but at least she's trying to fake it!
COMBATSYS: R.Mika successfully hits Joe with Medium Throw.

Joe 1/-------/=======|=====--\-------\0 R.Mika
Joe leaps back a few steps after a couple of successful strikes with his attack, a satisfied grin on his face. The expression doesn't last long, for as soon as Joe drops back into his stance, an elderly woman with a large purse begins slamming the bag over and over into his head. He flails his arms about ineffectively, trying to fend off the attack, and just when he thinks he's dodged it, he realizes that it was Mika who had pulled him away from the woman. After a rather nasty sounding crunch, Joe finds himself staring straight up Mika's skirt with his back to the floor. He winces in pain before rolling onto his side and climbing to his feet. She may act like a spoiled little girl, but she hits like a freight train!
"Okay. That's it. Now I'm serious!" Joe says through gritted teeth, his hands reaching up to push up non-existent sleeves as he curls his fingers into fists. His aura actually flares up visibly as he begins to focus his energy inwards, trying to increase his power to help deal with this annoying girl. The crowd, unaware of the nature of this fight, applaud the special effects while simultaneously booing Joe for wanting to harm the girl. Joe knew better though. He knew the schoolgirl was dangerous. They always are.
COMBATSYS: Joe gathers his will.

Joe 1/---====/=======|=====--\-------\0 R.Mika
Meep! Energy! At least it looks like energy! H-hey! Wait! Sailor Mika didn't get such nifty special effects! Lower lip jutting out in a pout, the buxom blonde waits for a moment, almost bracing herself for another onslaught. None forthcoming it would seem, and it causes her to pause.
Hmm. What to do?
The Senshi in that show usually call out their attacks against the evil and do a lot of posturing, don't they? So that's what she'll do! Left hand hits her hip, bent at the elbow. Right hand moves up to her forehead, fingers forming the shape of a 'V' before she calls out, "IT'S NOT POLITE TO LOOK UP PEOPLE'S SKIRTS YOU KNOW!"
Pretending to peel off the tiara, she cries, "MIIIIIIIKAAAAAA," and springs herself into a foreward handstand. Utilizing her momentum to the best of her ability, she tries to knock Joeku down with her legs. "PARADIIIIIIIISE...." And hopefully this is where Joe hits the ground. "HOLD!" If he does, she attempts to lock her legs around his body and flip him over, crushing him a little with her powerful legs.
COMBATSYS: Joe endures R.Mika's Paradise Hold.

Joe 1/=======/=======|=======\-------\0 R.Mika
The strange display catches Joe off guard, as does the 'kick' that sends him sprawling to the floor where he is shortly pounced upon by the scantily clad girl and then flipped over once more. By the time he hits the ground again, Joe no longer knows which way is up. In fact, all he knows right now is that some powerful thighs are squeezing the air out of his lungs. "Augh! What the heck do they put in that school food!?"
With a grunt of exertion, Joe pushes up from the floor and stands up, both of his fists raising up quickly above his head as he does. The force of the blow brings two giant whirlwinds spinning to life, sending the gathered crowd back a few feet as chairs, bags, and small children get pushed around by the gales! Joe never was very careful with his attacks.

So, what does a girl like Sailor Mika do when there are two large whirlwinds of energy spinning toward her?
She makes a very valiant attempt to get the heck out of the way.
Valiant attempts aren't all they're cracked up to be though. As she nearly escapes the tornadoes, the buxom blonde spies an older gentleman in the way and she decides instead to throw herself in front of him so that he's not sent flying against the wall and breaking his back. The force instead whaps her on the head with a chair and sends her flying back into the restaurant. From inside, a meek voice can be heard calling, "Auntie Em, I don't think we're in Kansas any more..." before a crash is heard.
Parents scream. Children are grabbed. Chairs are knocked out of the way. Exits are run for.
Mass exodus of bodies causes things to quiet down a bit, but still no sound is coming from the restaurant.
A blur suddenly bolts past, heading toward the playroom. Sailor Mika, it would seem, is taking an opportunity to regroup and refocus. "CLEAR THE ROOM," she calls out as she clambers up into the catbus, sits, takes a deep breath and waits for her opponent to follow suit.
COMBATSYS: R.Mika gains composure.

The strangely antagonistic Son Goku glances at his watch and sighs. His date is supposed to start in fifteen minutes, and if he ends up standing Lilly up one more time, he might as well be single! When the blonde-headed girl doesn't appear, Joe runs in after her, dodging child and parent alike as they hastily get out of the way of the fight in progress. Joe leaps up onto the strangely shaped bus and shakes a fist, "Stop dragging this out longer than it needs to be!" Without giving his opponent a chance to respond to his words, Joe leaps towards Sailor Mika, his body twisting about as he extends his leg in a powerful strike! If she wasn't going to end it quickly, then he would. A delicious italian dinner was at stake!

Hearing Joeku coming toward her, Sailor Mika frowns and leaps back up to her feet. Thankfully this gives her enough time to block the leg that's coming toward her with her hands, but the force of it sends her back into a seated position again anyhow. Exhaling an explosive sigh, the buxom blonde begins to run along the seats until she's on the opposing side of the catbus.
Running toward him, energy shadows of her body trailing at a distance behind her. Setting herself behind him, she throws her arms out to attempt locking him up in a tight headlock, where she's every intention of squeezing and choking a half dozen times before performing a running bulldog; which would hopefully see his face being driven against the floor of the bus.

Joe 1/-------/=======|=------\-------\0 R.Mika
Joe tends to get confused easily, and when the powerful girl begins running about, Joe just tries to keep his eyes on her in the hopes that he can do something to counter the incoming attack. Sadly, he loses sight of Mika for only a moment and then his next is wrapped about with her powerful arm, causing him to gasp for breath while flailing his arms uselessly. He tries to lean forward to throw the girl over his shoulder, but before he can get the leverage, she runs forward and drops him face first into the floor. A few indistinct mumbles can be heard from the droopy-haired Higashi before he goes silent, his bumps, bruises and multiple shots to the head having finally gotten to him. Looks like it is pizza delivery for dinner tonight.

Indistinct mumbles are good though, right? Sailor Mika checks his pulse, just because she wasn't trying to -kill- him. Finding one, she steps back and then hops up in the air; excitedly.
Someone's gone and replaced the air with the roof of the catbus though, and she gets another bump to her noggin for her trouble.
"AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T MESS WITH SAILOR MIKA!" Huzzah! Triumphantly exiting the catbus, the buxom blonde waves to some of the children-fans and feels pretty darned good about this fight. Even if she -still- doesn't know what the heck was going on.
COMBATSYS: R.Mika has ended the fight here.
