Tonight was a training night. At least, that was how it started.
With all the emphasis on form lately thanks to certain others she had been training with, it was nice to get back to the basics. Running laps was an excellent exercise, but the little Mantis Senshi was feeling a bit bold. Rather than use a predetermined path, she began just running wherever she felt like going.
Paying attention to street signs was not a thing for such a wild child. However, as she passed a sign that said Locust Street, she couldn't help but inwardly smile, since she was also named for an insect apparently.
She had barely penetrated the insect-street when she saw her.
A girl with blue hair and a mask much like a ninja.
I always wanted to fight a ninja!
There were magical girls out there, so a ninja out of nowhere didn't seem very farfetched.
"HEY! Let's fight!!" was called out in a friendly tone to the stranger-ninja. The Mantis Senshi already had turned her head slightly to try and get it to crack.

This was it! Sailor Nassovia was out on patrol at her patrol route of choice, Locust Street. She was dutifully marching down the sidewalk on her way to the skate park, occasionally skipping to some Cyndi Lauper earworm that had gotten stuck in her head earlier that day, when she heard a voice call to her.
Turning, the floral senshi noticed another superhero like herself. She hadn't met many superheroes yet, but from the few superheroes, youma and Negaverse officers Nassovia had met, this girl definitely looked like one of the good guys. Yep. Superhero.
"What, you mean like arm wrestle?" she wound her arm up to stretch it just in case. She could arm wrestle anyone, she told herself. What she didn't tell herself that anyone she arm wrestled normally won.

Arm wrestling a ninja did not sound like a legitimate test of skill. Strength, yes, but strength was not the full sum of skills.
"No... Let's go big!" The green suited senshi crouched down a bit, making a quick stance that showed her intent to legitimately fight.
"It's no fun if we don't go big!"

"Big?" Nassovia was perplexed for a moment, but the other girl's stance blew the clouds of confusion away.
"Oh! Okay! I'm all about fun!"
The morning glory senshi chuckled and mirrored her opponent's stance as best as she could.

Did the ninja know Northern Mantis style too? With a quick glance, Antiope had decided that the ninja, in fact, did not know that particular style. The stance was too informal, and the hand positioning was not precise enough.
Perhaps it was a scare tactic.
However, one thing that the ninja would learn was that Antiope was not easily intimidated. "Let the fun begin!"
With that, she rushed in, keeping her body low in a defensive tactic. However, once she felt she was close enough, the short girl jabbed out with a claw masked by her sleeves towards the girl's ribs.

"OOF!"The "ninja" was sufficiently taken off-guard by the sleeved jab. Admittedly she had no idea what she expected, agreeing to fight another superhero. Maybe this one had punching superpower? Jumping backwards a little bit, Nassovia activated her own. "Nassovia Morning Madness!"For the second time in her life, vines crept down her arms and burst into bloom, releasing a sweet, psychotropic scent into the air. Nassovia Morning Madness Morning glory vines creep down Sailor Nassovia's arms and bloom, releasing a scent which carries with it the psychotropic properties of the morning glory. This causes enemies near Sailor Nassovia to experience a mild hallucinatory high for two rounds. Mild distractions may occur, but the victims of the attack are still aware of their surroundings. *Sailor Nassovia has no control over what is being hallucinated. Hallucinations at this stage should be simple shapes, colors and sounds. There should be no dinosaurs in tutus philosophizing with you.

Antiope had heard of various types of abilities that ninjas had which seemed like magic. Did she believe it back in the day? No.
Did she believe it these days? Absolutely!
Flowers miraculously sprouted out of nowhere in a nearly sinister manner and unleashed their "noxious" smell all over. Her gut instinct was to hold her breath, and for a moment or two she was able to pull such a feat off. However, she realistically could not maintain such little air in her lungs given the short notice.
And so she regrettably inhaled.
"I won't fall for your Jutsus!" she declared as she pointed out towards what she thought as the ninja. However, she was off by about 30 degrees and was instead pointing towards a nearby bush.
A bush which soon enough was pounced upon and had another firm jab thrust at it.

Nassovia relaxed her stance after summoning her superpower and rubbed her sore ribs as she watched the results.
So that's what it does, she thought to herself. ********* had mentioned something that like that, but the senshi had yet to see the actual effects. She had no idea why it had caused a youma to burst into dust last time. Maybe that was one of the other superheroes' powers.
She completely failed to realize that, had her superpower actually been the one to disintegrate the monster, she could have just done the same to....whomever this was.
Instead of realizing that, Nassovia tapped the other senshi on the shoulder.
"Joot sues?"

It was after the punch to the bush that Antiope noticed that it was not a ninja she was punching, but a plant. It was not the desired target. The stray inquiry got the senshi of the Mantis to snap out a bit.
"Jutsus! It's what you ninjas do!"
The inquiry, however, gave Antiope something more than a question to snap at.
Crouching down briefly, the girl then rushed towards the girl's voice, her sleeve-covered claws extended. She couldn't rely on her sight at the moment it seemed, but her hearing was still quite good. Once more, the little senshi swiped (blindly) at her opponent.

"I'm a ninja?!"
It was more an exclamation of excitement than a query. Not only was Nassovia a superhero, but she was a ninja superhero! Whatever that meant! The only thing she understood about ninjas was that they were pretty much crystallized awesome of some sort. And that some ninjas are turtles, but she was pretty sure that she wasn't one of those ninjas.
"That's so cool! What else am I? OH MY GAWD!"
Nassovia fell backwards onto her rump as she kicked her legs randomly at her advancing opponent.

There were some doubts in Antiope's mind when it came to this ninja's actually status as a ninja. This girl was very loud, which was not a trait usually associated with ninjas. However, as Antiope's vision became a bit more reliable, she caught sight of something that completely dishonored any association of being a ninja. The girl had kicked and fallen on her own a**. Antiope's usual cheery demeanor when it came to fighting broke, revealing a rather upset snarl upon her mouth. " Y-you... you are no ninja!" The Mantis senshi did not usually fight out of anger. However, this situation had just become a sort of humiliating task. With that, she jumped back slightly, then pointed to her downed target. " ANTIOPE VICEGRIP!" It was only once her non-ninja opponent was restrained that the girl then ruthlessly came in, jabbing at her ruthlessly in the ribs, the neck, and whatever pressure points she'd be able to effectively hit in that short span of time. Quote: Antiope Vicegrip - Antiope points at the opponent and makes one downward motion to set this attack in motion. Once the opponent has been selected, they will feel as if they are being restrained by the neck, like in a headlock. It solely restricts the opponent's movement for 20 seconds, leaving them open for attack. This skill can be used 3 times in one battle.

One second, Sailor Nassovia was a ninja. The next, she wasn't...and she was magically headlocked while the other senshi assailed her with jabs.
She kicked. She screamed. She shouted.
"OW OW OW! Why - OW! Why am I not a ninja any more? OW! OW! WHYYYY?!"

Once the onslaught of attacks had come to an end, it seemed as if her opponent was freed. However, the reality was that the onslaught of attacks ended because the time her opponent was restrained was coming to an end. Antiope might not have had a chance to use her magic frequently, but she had come to learn approximately how long she could attack with no interruption.
Straightening herself to her full terrorizing height of 59 inches, the Mantis senshi then pointed with her floppy sleeve to what she had considered her challenger.
"You never were a ninja! I have clearly won this fight! Tell me... what are you?"

Once freed, Sailor Nassovia straightened up and began rubbing anything that hurt.
"Owowowow."
She kicked the ground abruptly.
"I'm a superhero! Why did you call me a ninja if I was never a ninja? Why would you lie to me like that? I got all excited and everything!"

"Super hero?"
The term had been used loosely in the media. Any child who couldn't understand the concept was an imbecile at best. Super heroes were the best of the best!
Which meant that Antiope had just beaten one of the best of the best! Perhaps that was better than defeating a ninja.
Raised with discipline and respect, the girl clapped her arms against her side and bowed forward slightly in apology.
"Your uniform and skills are very misleading... do you have a name, Miss Hero?"
