[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5415695/1/Soldiers_of_Love '''''Soldiers of Love]''''' is a ''[[Sailor Moon (Manga)|Sailor Moon]]'' / ''Sisterhood Of Nine'' / ''[[Iji (Video Game)|Iji]]'' [[Crossover]] [[Fan Fiction]] by troper Vilui. The story opens a couple of years after ''[[Sailor Moon]]''; the Senshi have gone their separate ways, and Ami is studying medicine in America. An e-mail from her invites the others to join her in New York, where she suspects their powers may be needed. Meanwhile, the Sisterhood of Nine are hired to investigate the disappearance of a tennis star. Their paths soon cross, and it gradually becomes clear that the world is in danger from a war-loving race of aliens who've come to Earth armed with all sorts of bizarre weaponry.
 
It can be read [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5415695/1/Soldiers_of_Love here].
=== ''Soldiers of Love'' provides examples of the following tropes: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Actual Pacifist]]: Usagi and Ami. The others show varying degrees of [[Technical Pacifist|Technical Pacifism]].
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: ''And'' Japanese.
Line 8 ⟶ 10:
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: {{spoiler|Ruby.}}
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Rui / Ruby. All the way from a single-episode appearance to main character.
** On the ''[[Iji (Video Game)|Iji]]'' side, there's Yukabacera, Vateilika and Kiron.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Ruby.}}
* [[Badass Normal]]: The Sisters.
** Naru becomes one later, which may count as a subversion of the "Naru is a Senshi" [[Fandom -Specific Plot]].
* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]: {{spoiler|Asha.}}
* [[Big Applesauce]]: The D.C.M.F.P.R. Research Facility is in New York. (The original game didn't specify what city or even country.)
Line 18 ⟶ 20:
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: One [[Stealth Pun]] requires knowing what "Tor" means in German.
* [[Catch Phrase]] / [[Culture Clash]]: Vateilika's "That must be a human concept."
* [[Cosplay]]: Usagi as [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Mikuru Asahina]]. Ami as [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Rei Ayanami]]. Rei as [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Sakaki]]. Makoto as [[Asagiri no Miko|Shizuka Midou]]. Minako as [[Sailor Moon]]. Mamoru as [[Seirei no Moribito|Tanda]]. Ruby as [[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Tomoyo Daidouji]].
* [[Death Equals Redemption]]: {{spoiler|General Tor.}}
* [[Determinator]]: Kiron. Still fighting after having half his face burnt off, no less.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Subverted. The heroes are trying to rescue Ruby from her prison, {{spoiler|not realising that she's already escaped and is running loose in the fortress, turning into an [[Action Girl]] [[Girls Withwith Guns|with a Velocithor]].}}
* [[Dramatic Necklace Removal]]: Tor dismisses Krotera this way.
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: The Tasen Shredder.
* {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending]]}}
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: Vateilika. She was not a princess in [[Iji (Video Game)|the game]].
* [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]: "I know you are not to blame for what you have to do." {{spoiler|Ruby}}
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Deep Sector.
** Also, riding a Tasen Shredder, according to Ruby, {{spoiler|and she would know, having experienced both}}.
* [[Genre Blindness]]: {{spoiler|Sharon.}}
* [[Genre Shift]]: The first half alternates chapters between a whodunit and a ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' fanfic incorporating ''[[Iji (Video Game)|Iji]]'' characters. The second half drops both in favour of an ''[[Iji (Video Game)|Iji]]'' fanfic incorporating ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' characters.
* [[Girls Withwith Guns]]: Except for Usagi, all the Senshi and Sisters eventually get weapons.
* [[Gunship Rescue]]: "''Ciretako!''"
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Tieropay}}.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|Proxima takes the poison she had intended for General Tor.}}
* [[Hot Mom]]: Makoto technically qualifies, though she's only 19.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Tor's Eidolon. Lampshaded in that its appearance is what gets the cosplay festival started.
Line 52 ⟶ 54:
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Rui Saionji is renamed Ruby. An in-story reason is given, but the external reason is that her name is too similar to Rei.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Taeho.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]] / [[Refusal of the Call]]: Makoto.
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: The younger Vateilika, seen in flashback.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]] / [[Taking the Bullet]]: {{spoiler|Sharon.}}
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]] / [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]]: Vateilika.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Quite a few references to things from ''[[Iji (Video Game)|Iji]]'' that aren't part of the story, such as Mia's ribbons and the Banana Gun. ''Iji'' creator Dan Remar even makes a cameo appearance.
** Liz and Rebecca visit Central Perk, of ''[[Friends]]'' fame.
** Liz knows her [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[GKG. K. Chesterton]].
** Tor's final speech contains allusions to ''[[Othello]]'' and ''[[The Little Prince]]''.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: The story is ''all about'' what happens when you cross works from opposite extremes of the scale.
* [[Suddenly-Suitable Suitor]]: Vateilika can't marry Yukabacera {{spoiler|until she kills Iosa, making her a god in her people's eyes and therefore able to do as she likes.}}
* [[Ten -Minute Retirement]]: {{spoiler|Ami, after she and Makoto accidentally kill a Berserker.}}
* [[The Load]]: Naru worries about being this. {{spoiler|She turns out to be a more of a [[Badass Normal]].}}
* [[Unaccustomed Asas I Am to Public Speaking]]: General Tor.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Poor, poor Naotgerai.
* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]]: {{spoiler|Yukabacera.}}
