As the Senshi transformed all of them were in shock at the betrayal of Michiru and Makoto. How could two such close friends and in some cases family betray them like that?
"How is this possible, Setsuna?" Rei angrily asked.
Setsuna mentally growled to herself in frustration realizing that they would not fight until they got answers. She and Ami knew it wasn't the time but the others would be stubborn about it.
"That hostage crisis a few days back was done on purpose by the enemy to draw us into the open and isolate one of us when we scattered. They got Jupiter that way." Setsuna was watching as Ranma faced off against Kuno hoping that the pigtailed man would win. "Ami and I only realized what the enemy was after a few hours ago but because we were so slow in realizing it the enemy managed to get Neptune as well."
"But, How?" Usagi asked.
"That man Kuno that Ranma-san is fighting was made to counter us. He has an aura that makes any female pliable after they are exposed to it. Simply put; you stay around that guy you become his loyal slave." Ami answered.
"Enough talking, we got work to do." Setsuna ordered. "We can't hold here. If I am right this is only the first wave. We need to fall back since all of our advantages with secrecy is now gone. We take down the minions but stay the hell away from Kuno. He is our worst enemy and if we try to take him on we'll become like Michiru and Makoto."
Uranus growled in frustration as she leapt taking down a couple of the mooks with a world shaking.
"And we withdraw from Juuban with Ranma and his group." Setsuna sadly said.

Cologne was hoping she had gotten enough of the poison out to keep fighting. She had to admit she had sorely underestimated the girl. However what none realized was the body that Cologne was gifted with had a gift that would show itself.
Cologne's large breasts and firm ass along with her long, shapely legs were visual indicators that her body had changed but none realized that the change went deeper in the body. A normal person would have been out for a day in 15 minutes. The poison that Makoto had infected Cologne with would have put her out for 4 hours. But that changed when Cologne sucked out the poison. She had gotten enough out to keep fighting.
In other words her immune system's capabilities had been increased to be at least 10 times more effective than a normal person's immune system. Ranma's experiences with Kodachi's poisons, love potions, and other potions had been factored in their changes. They still could be affected but it would be less than a normal person would be affected.

Motoko was easily slaying the mooks with her sword as she weaved in and out like she danced a dance of death.
"Dead Scream!!"
An energy caught two of the mooks that were about to blindside her.
"My thanks, Sailor Pluto." Motoko said as her sword slashed another three into ribbons.
"Don't mention it, now we have to retreat." Sailor Pluto said. "This is just the first wave. Sacrificial soldiers to wear us down in order to kill or capture and convert us."
Motoko looked and realized that Sailor Pluto was speaking the truth.
"You are correct in that, Sailor Pluto." Motoko said as she caught another one with her sword. "I just hope we can do the retreat without losing anyone else."
