"Ah, a sweet treat? Very well then..."
The first of Esmeraude's droids was a rather fine choice. In her true form she was a red skinned beauty with bright purple spiky hair. Her top looked like a giant viennese whirl, her skirt was a bright yellow that clashed against her skin, and on top of that she wore yellow and green leggings which, quite frankly, made her look more like a fashion disaster come to life than a menacing droid.
Her task was simple enough: Guard a Negative Point until it was filled with Dark Energy. This mission was interrupted when Mamoru noticed something amiss with the cakes, compelling her to transform from humble waitress into her normal form. Her fight had even been progressing well, until Tuxedo Mask interfered and warned the Sailors of her weakness in his usual roundabout manner.
Her powers consisted of spraying people to trap them in cakes. Pretty ludicrous really, but also quite low on the overall scale of stupid monster of the week abilities. At the very least it seemed entirely capable of trapping the Sailors.
But no. Forget the battle stage of the confrontation, if anything this corruption should begin well before that. Now, how best to proceed...
<hr>
Do Droids have personalities of their own? Yes, naturally. How else can they be expected to blend in? For Marzipan hers came down to a simple love of sweets. Not just that, the love of other people loving sweets. This only made sense. Given her nature, and the fact that her body was made of a sugar-like substance it was completely natural that she would enjoy such things.
Her role here was simple enough: Pretend to be a waitress. Serve these cakes. Keep people from getting suspicious about the kitchen, pretend everything is normal until the dark energy completely fills this Negative Point. Easy peasy.
And yet... Marzipan felt something strange just now. All of a sudden the Droid felt really quite warm. Fortunately she was still in the kitchen, making ready to take out some delicious treats. She fanned herself down and popped open the top of her maid uniform, baring her breasts to the cool air. She glimpsed down and blinked.
"Nozzles?" she wondered aloud. She was supposed to be in human form, was she not? Why were there nozzles were her nipples should be? Marzipan gave them an experimental heft, then grunted and bit back a helpless whine. There was a strange pressure in her breasts begging to be let out, and her hands instinctively moved to grab her bosom from the underside. She squeezed - "Kya! What is this feeling?"
That feeling was icing coming out of her nozzle nipples. Marzipan goggled at it in disbelief. Since when could she do that? Her finger dabbed at it experimentally and she brought it to her lips.
"Sweet!" she cooed. "Ooh, that is so much more delicious than regular icing!"
Alright then. Her mind was made up. Marzipan nodded and set about making use of this brand new talent. Her icing would be the talk of the town! Oh, all those happy satisfied customers... She just could not wait!
<hr>
Usagi was depressed. And when she was depressed, she was hungry! Although much the same could be said for when she was afraid, happy, angry - Really, just all the way across the entire emotional spectrum.
"So that I'm clear on this, you're jealous because Mamoru is spending time with a girl one tenth your size," Luna said. "Is my understanding on this correct?"
"Yes! Yes it is!" Usagi wailed. Oh, thank goodness someone understood! "She's so cute and tiny she can cuddle with him! Ohhh, I'm so jealous right now."
As for Luna, she could but sigh in frustration. This was their Princess. Their vaunted leader. The girl with the most potent magical potential out of all of their team. "Alright. So what are you going to do instead?"
"I'm going to that cake shop, duh! Free cakes!"
"... The cake shop where Mamoru is taking the squirt?"
"The very same!"
Ohhh, but this headache was going to be a doozy. On the bright side the other members of the team were all up ahead. Maybe, just maybe, they could talk some sense into Usagi?
"Hello Usagi!" Minako cooed. "We're heading off to get some free cakes!"
"So am I!" said Usagi's stomach. It then followed this up with "Yum yum gonna get me some."
"I'm out!" Luna saluted with her front paws. "This is all getting a little too silly for my tastes."
"Well, I'm not so sure this is such a good idea..." Ami said. Finally the voice of reason. "All those empty calories? And besides which, doesn't it seem like a strange business decision? Offering up all those free cakes must be losing them a mint."
"Right!" Makoto nodded. "So let's take advantage of it before they come back to their senses! Besides, I can always use some inspiration."
By this point Luna had already gone, having left an upright wooden sign reading "You're all crazy! ~L"
"Huh, I wonder how she set that up without thumbs," Rei pondered aloud. "Oh well, never mind. We can always ask her later when she's in less of a bad mood."
And so, on they went to the cake shop that had apparently started offering free cakes even before the Dark Moon got involved. For some reason. Usagi in particular could hardly wait. Free food! She almost forgot why she was miserable in the first place, maybe she should ask Mam-
Oh yeah. Blast it all!
The five of them sat around a table in the corner, though Ami was still quite reluctant. A cute waitress delivered a round of cakes, one to each of them in quick order then disappeared back into the kitchen.
"I'm still not sure about this," Ami sighed. "I've been trying to watch my figure lately."
"Oh relax," Makoto smiled at her and eyed the cake with a master's gaze. "One little cupcake won't ruin you." Then she took a bite, her pupils dilated, and she scarfed the rest down in quick order. "Of course, if you don't want yours I'll certainly have it!"
"Or I will!" Minako panted. "Mine was amazing!"
"No me!" Rei insisted. Both girls had frosting and crumbs around the corners of their mouths. "I'd love to have your cake, Ami!"
"Caaaaaake!" Usagi whined, mouth wide open while her head was tilted back. Right... So Ami was getting a little bit worried about this. Aside from Usagi the other three were all acting really weird as soon as they bit into that cake! It couldn't possibly be that delicious.
Yet her curious mind got the better of her caution, and Ami took a tiny nibble. Bliss filled her thoughts, and before she knew it she was eating down the rest of it just as hungrily as the others. She'd never tasted anything so sweet, yet also textured so perfectly. It was the icing, she concluded after a moment of consideration. Definitely the icing!
Ah, but dear reader... If you expect that to be the end of their corruption then you are quite mistaken. It will take quite a bit more than this mere morsel to properly corrupt this quartet. That mere cupcake was an appetiser of things still to come.
- Marzipan arrives at their table, and tempts the girls with even more yummy treats intended to tantalise their tongues and lead them further into the path of decadence.
- Mamoru arrives and works out something is amiss. Time to fight it out!
- Each of the cakes has a slightly different effect on the girls.
- Esmeraude herself winds up eating a cake. Now her own Droid sets about corrupting her creator.
- Marzipan gets one of the girls alone.
- Something else
