Makoto glared at the girl, punching her fist into her hand. "Back off. No one is going anywhere near her." She hissed, advancing towards the threat, puffing out her chest, standing taller, looking more intimidating. She knew how to fight without transforming. If need be, if Neptune and Uranus weren't fast enough, she could create a distraction for the others.
"Smart idea Minako..." Ami whispered, standing, moving in front of Usagi. It wouldn't help anyone to play stupid, acting 'Princess Serenity? Who's that?' Especially after Minako and Makoto's moments . Might as well protect the princess. Should someone try to hurt Usagi, that someone would have to get through her first. Which wouldn't be too hard, but it was a bit of stalling.
