Element Sailors / By: ChibiEve
PART ONE- The Fire Crystal

	" What is our mission?" a red haired girl said. Her green eyes reflect off the control screen.
	" Find the Holder of the Elements, so we can finally leave and go home," a green haired girl replied. She took off her green rimmed glasses to show her pale blue eyes.
	" I must say, this Earth has good clothes," a blue haired girl said. " Look at this girl! She has such beautiful purple pants. Oooo, I have to find out who the designer is."
	" Kiara!" a white haired girl said. " You have been here for only two days, and already you act like them."
	" Really, Gina, I think you should go out more often," the blue hair girl continued. " I bought this lovely thing called eyeshadow. You put it right on your eyelid to enhance your looks. I think this purple shade will match your purple eyes."
	" We have no time for fun and games," the green hair girl interrupted. " We are strictly here for the mission."
	" That's nice!" the red haired one said, as she peered into the blue haired girl's bag. " What is it?"
	" Lipstick," the blue one said. " It's a pretty shade, isn't it? It's called crimsom red."
	" Perfect for your red eyes," the red one said. 
	" Harriet and Kiara! Stop fumbling with your petty human objects!" the white haired one ordered.
	" Yes, Gina," they both said.
	" I found it!" the green haired girl yelled. " I found what we were looking for!"
	" You found the owner of an element crystal?!" the white haired one said.
	" Yes, I think I have. The owner of the Fire Crystal." A picture of a long black haired girl appeared. She was wearing a priestess gown.
	" Her name is Raye Hino. She works at the Cherry Hill Temple," the green one said.
	" Fire! Yes, that means I get to go!" the red haired one said. 
	The white haired one handed her a clear crystal. " Use it wisely. We only have so much energy to find the four element crystals and the Holder of the Elements."
	" God, Gina, your such a poop. Of course I'll get the crystal in one shot." The red haired one dissapeared.

	" Dr. Utonium, are you ready?" a voice said. A man appeared behind a doctor in a lab coat.
	" My first monster is complete!" the doctor yelled.
	" Fascinating," the man said. " Now we can finally get the element crystals, and find the Holder of the Elements."
	" Yes... then, we can control the Earth." The doctor smiled evilly.
	The man grinned. "Perfect."

	Raye was sweeping the steps.
	" Hellooooooooooooo!" a voice yelled. 
	" Oh, no..." Raye grumbled. A cheerful Serena bounced up the stairs of the temple.
	" Hi, Raye! Just here to read the latest copy of the Sailor V comic!" Serena said. She ran inside before Raye could even answer.
	" Sure, just go ahead." Raye said, obviously annoyed. " And while your there, just pig out on all my food." Raye shook her head, she knew Serena was going to pig out.
	A young girl with red hair came up the stairs. Her hair was let down long, and her blue eyes shone in the sun. Raye looked up at the visitor. She had a T*A Academy uniform on.
	" Hello, miss, may I help you?" Raye asked, stopping her sweeping.
	" Yes, I am looking for a Raye Hino," the woman said. She looked at Raye. {That's her alright. She must have the fire crystal.}
	" I'm Raye," she said. " How may I help you?"
	The woman grinned. " My name is Harriet."  Raye smiled.
	" Would you like to come inside? We have tea."
	" I would love to." She smiled evilly and they walked inside.

	A man slowly walked to the Cherry Hill Temple. He looked around.
	" Everything looks alright," he said. He suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. 
	" Dude, may I help you?"
	The man turned around, and flipped the boy over his shoulder. Chad screamed.
	" AHHHH! Don't hurt me!" Chad yelled, shielding his face.
	The man stopped. "Sorry, you startled me."
	" S-Sorry dude..." Chad said, getting up. "May I help you?"
	" Does a Raye Hino live here?" 
	" Yes, she does," Chad said. " Why do you ask?"
	" Please give this to her," the man said. He handed him a bag.
	Chad took it. "What's inside?"
	" That is none of your business, nor is it any of your concern. I think you should give it to her immediately." The man walked away.
	Chad scratched his head. "Yea, sure thing, dude!" He took the bag, and walked inside.

	" So, Harriet, what courses are you interested in taking?" Raye asked.
	Harriet put her teacup down. " Hmmmm, I'm not sure...." she said. " I think I should get back to you on that. For now, how about we just become friends?"
	Raye was a little confused at Harriet's outgoing ways. But she kept her comments to herself. " Um, sure, I guess."
	Harriet smiled. She gripped her crystal in her pocket.
	" You know," Harriet said. " Sometimes, I feel connected to fire. You know?"
	Raye's smile fell. {Does she... know? Does she know I am Sailor Mars?} "Um, yea, but that's because I am a priestess here."
	" Yes, you seem like it." Harriet sipped some more tea. 
	She was about to take out her crystal when Chad burst in. "Raye, you have a gift." He plopped the bag in front of Raye.
	" A gift? Oh, wow. Maybe it's from Darien, tee-hee!" Raye frumbled with the bag as a sweatdrop formed on Harriet's head.
	Raye eagerly took out the gift. It was a small box.
	" What is it?" Harriet asked.
	" I don't know..." Raye said. She timidly opened the box.
	They all screamed. A huge monster popped out of the box! It grabbed Raye by the neck and slammed her into the wall.
	" Dammit! He's going for the Fire Crystal too!" Harriet muttered to herself. She watches as Chad frantically pounded on the monster.
	" Leave me alone, monster!" Raye yelled. They monster opened its mouth, and let out a beam. It went right into her heart. She screamed.
	Harriet looked down. " I have no choice." She put her hand in the air. " I call upon the power of the elements! Fire Power!" A fireball exploded in front of her, and Harriet appeared through the smoke. 	
	She was wearing a white leotard with a red ruffled skirt. Buttons went down her front, and she had a red bow on the back. He long boots were white, and she had a red headband around her head.
	" How dare you try and take this Fire Crystal!" she yelled. " Anyone knows that it is rightfully ours. I am the Element Sailor Fire! You better give me the crystal, or leave that girl alone!"
	The monster laughed. A red crystal came out of Raye's body and went to the monster.
	" No!" Raye yelled. " Mars Star Power!" Nothing happened. Raye stood there, shocked. " It... it won't work!"
	" Try and take the crystal from me." the monster teased. " Go on and try."
	" Fire Gun!" Harriet said. A gun appeared in her hand. Fire balls started shooting at the monster.
	The monster easily dodged them all. " Is that all you've got?"
	By the wall, Raye was standing there, amazed. Chad was already knocked out. {That crystal must be my powers... they both want it, but why?} She shook her head. {I must get it back.}
	Raye leaped at the monster and bit it's hand. The crystal fell.
	Harriet lept for the crystal. But Raye grabbed it right before her. 
	" Evil witch!" Raye said. " Mars Star Power!" She transformed into Sailor Mars.
	" I'll deal with you later," Raye said. She turned to the monster. " Mars Celestial Fire Surround!"
	Harriet  joined with her Fire Gun. " Might as well exterminate the problem first."
	The monster soon burned. Raye smiled.
	Harriet took out her crystal. " Element crystal!" she yelled. " Retrieve the Fire Crystal!"
	A wave of energy came over Raye. She collapsed. She automatically detransformed as the crystal left her body. 
	" No...." Raye muttered.
	Suddenly....
	" Jupiter Thundercloud Zap!" Thunder flew at Harriet, causing her to drop the crystal. Raye reached for it.
	" Hey, you! How dare you try and take Raye's poor crystal! We are the Sailor Team!" Serena appeared, along with Rini, Amy, Lita, Mina, Amara, and Michelle.
	" Amara?" Raye said, blinking. " Michelle?"
	" Came back for a visit." Amara said. "Serena said you needed help."
	" Do not interfere!" Harriet yelled. 
	" Leave this poor girl alone!" Michelle said. " Let's do it, Amara."
	Amara nodded. " Uranus World Shaking!"
	" Neptune Deep Submerge!"
	Harriet dissapeared just as the attacks struck.
	" Haha! Good going, guys!" Mina said. Rini ran to Raye.
	" Raye, are you alright?" she asked.
	" I'll be fine now," Raye said. " Thanks, guys."

	Harriet appeared sadly at the base.
	" Have you suceeded?" Gina asked. The two others came by.
	" No..." Harriet said. " It seems we have someone else who wants the Element Crystals." She looked at the crystal. " Plus, I used a lot of the crystal's energy trying to get the Fire Crystal."
	" Maybe you should take me next time." Renee said. She pushed her green hair aside. " I'm strong."
	" No, me!" Kiara argued. " I make fighting look easy... and fashionable!"
	" I think we should all go next time." Gina suggested. " With this other enemy and this Sailor Team, we may have a challenge." They all nodded.

	Raye drank some tea. " It was weird, guys..." she said. " I just opened the box and the monster flew out. Harriet didn't do anything to stop it. Then she transformed into a Sailor scout.... Sailor Fire."
	" I think this Sailor Fire is definetly bad news," Mina said. " It kind of reminds me when Amara and Michelle first came. It seemed like she was looking for something."
	" Yes, but she's not going to have it," Amara said. " Whatever she wanted from Raye, she's not getting."
	" But what did they want?" Michelle asked. " What was it that she took from Raye?"
	All eyes came upon Raye.
	Raye shrugged. " I don't know." She showed them the crystal. " This.... I think I need this to transform. But I don't know what it is... or how to put it back into my body."
	" So, you have to have it in your possesion to transform?" Amy asked.
	Raye nodded. " Even to just touch it, I can transform. Without it, I'm powerless."
	" I wonder if..." Michelle said. " I wonder if we all have one of these crystals..."
	" Probably not," Serena said. " Since they seem to only be after Raye's, then Raye is probably the only one who has one."
	The all sighed.
	" We must protect Raye and her crystal at all times," Amara said. " We cannot be foolish."
	Suddenly, Luna and Artemis burst in. " Sorry we're late," Artemis said.
	" Ha-HA!" Serena luaghed amusingly. " Luna's actually LATE!"
	" Your tardiness rubbed off on me, Serena," Luna said. A small weatdrop formed on everyone's head.
	" What happened?" Artemis said.
	" Some evil monster wanted this crystal from Raye... and so did this girl named Sailor Fire." Lita explained.
	" Sailor.... Fire?" Luna said uneasily. " Never heard of her."
	Raye took out her crystal. " This is the crystal they wanted."
	Luna looked at it. " The Fire Crystal." she said.
	The all looked at her.
	" Luna, you know about this?" Mina asked.
	Artemis nodded. " You each have your own crystals." he explained. " One for each of your elements. But there are four main ones: the Fire Crystal, which Raye has, the Wayter Crystal, which Amy has, the Earth Crystal, which Amara has, and the Forest Crystal, which Lita has. When these four element crystals are combined, the Holder of the Elements appears, with a great power who can destroy anything, no matter how big or small."
	" Have you found the Holder of the Elements?" Rini asked.
	Luna shook her head. " If the Holder of the Elements used it's powers for evil, the whole universe could  be blown up by their command. It would be dreadful. So, we did it for safety."
	" Raye, do you know anything else about this Sailor Fire girl?" Artemis asked.
	" Yes," Raye said. " Her name is Harriet... or so she said. She told me she was going to be a student and T*A Girls' Academy. Maybe if she keeps her human role, she'll be at school."
	" Not likely," Amy said. " Since you know her true identity, it would be a risk for her to approach you at school."
	They all sat in deep thought. 
	" Like I said," Amara said. " We must protect Raye and her crystal at all times. Now that the crystal has left her body, it would be easier to steal."
	" Luna," Rini said. " How does Raye put the crystal back in?"
	Luna shook her head. " I don't know... since we've never taken out any crystals, we never bothered to learn how to put them back in."
	Raye looked down. " I'm in danger at all times."
	Amara stood up. " I say that one of us stays with Raye for a while. Then, we'll switch. So we can protect Raye."
	" Good idea," Michelle said. 
	" I'll take the first watch," Amara said. " No one will hurt Raye."
	
	Raye was sweeping the steps at her temple. Amara was sitting on the stairs with her.
	" So, how was school today?" Amara said. " Sorry I couldn't go with you."
	" That's alright, Amara," Raye said. " Besides, Harriet wasn't there."
	Amara nodded. " She probably won't attack for a while. Enemies don't attack one after another."
	Raye nodded quietly and continued to sweep.

	Harriet, Gina, Kiara, and Renee appeared above the temple.
	" There she is!" Harriet pointed.
	" Let's get her!" Renee said.
	" No!" Gina commanded. " Look closely. See that girl? She one of the Sailor Scouts."
	Kiara frowned. " That will just make our work more difficult."
	" Kiara, you could've stayed home and did your nails," Renee said. 
	Kiara smiled. " Really? Cool!" She started to dissapear, but was grabbed by the neck by Gina.
	" I was just kidding, Gina," Kiara said uneasily.
	" I bet you were," Gina said, releasing her hold. Kiara put her hand on her neck.
	" Your so mean," Kiara muttered.
	" Come on, I bet that sailor is easy to take down." Harriet said. " From experiance, I saw that our powers are far superior to those of a Sailor Scout."
	Gina nodded. " Let's transform and go."
	The all lifted their hand in the air.
	" We call upon the power of the elements!" they all yelled.
	" Earth Power!"
	" Forest Power!"
	" Water Power!"
	" Fire Power!"
	" Elements... TRANSFORM!"
	They all tranformed into their Sailor forms.
	" Let's do it!" Harriet said. They all dissapeared.

	Dr. Utonium sat on his seat. He glared at the man.
	" You have failed, Rob," he said.
	" I am sorry, doctor," Rob said. " I didn't know there were these two different Sailor teams. The Sailor Fire woman wanted the Fire Crystal too."
	" I made that one monster weaker, since I didn't think there was a force against us," the doctor explained. " I assumed that we could easily take a crystal from a girl. But I didn't think. I forgot that whoever holds an element crystal has magical powers."
	" But I will make a new monster," Rob said. " I can help. With your brains, and my strength, we could easily win back the crystal."
	" Rob, your not thinking," Dr. Utonium said. " We need a new plan of attack. Surprise hasn't worked."
	Rob looked down. "Yes, doctor. What do you suggest we do?"
	He smiled. " Ask the other Sailor Team to join us... when they help us get all the crystals, we kill them, and control the world." Rob smiled, and they both laughed evilly.

	Amara starting playing with a stone. She sighed. {I thought there was going to be action... but it's just dull.}
	Raye stopped. She sat down next to Amara.
	" Maybe they gave up..." Raye said.
	" Not likely," Amara said. She looked down.
	" Hey, you!" a voice said. Amara and Raye's head shot up.
	" Yea, you!" the voice continued. Four shadows appeared. " That Fire Crystal is rightfully ours!"
	Amara stood up. " Who do you think you are?!"
	A girl in gray came out. " I am Sailor Earth! I seek out the Fire Crystal for a good cause!"
	A girl in green came out after her. " I am Sailor Forest! You would not understand our mission, so hand over the Fire Crystal!"
	The blue girl jumped out. " I am the almighty (and fashionable) Sailor Water! I will make sure that the crystal will not be mis-used by you!"
	Lastly, Harriet appeared. " And I am Sailor Fire, as you already know! I will take the Fire Crystal by force if I must!"
	" Not if I can help it!" Raye said. " Mars Star Power!" She transformed into Sailor Mars.
	" Uranus Planet Power!" Amara yelled. She transformed into Sailor Uranus.
	" Let's retrieve the crystal!" Gina yelled. They ran at the two scouts. " Earthquake!" The ground shook. 
	Amara grabbed Raye, and they both jumped up.
	" Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" Raye yelled. Fire went towards the Element sailors.
	" World Shaking!" Amara yelled. The earth shook under the sailors and Harriet and Kiara fell.
	" Not fair!" Renee said. " Trees and Nature Bind!" 
	Suddenly, a million branches came out, and grabbed Amara. Amara dropped Raye, and was strapped against a tree.
	" Amara!" Raye yelled as she fell to the ground. She landed hard, and the crystal fell from her. She detransformed.
	Branches wipped at Amara and she soon passed out. Raye was helpless and without her powers.
	Harriet casually walked to the crystal, and picked it up. She smiled. " You lose."
	" Give it back..." Raye said in pain. She winced.
	" Fire Gun!" Harriet yelled. The gun appeared in her hand and she put it to Raye's head. " Die," she said.
	" Harriet!" Gina said. " Spare her. She is weak."
	Harriet put the gun down. She walked to the other sailors, and they dissapeared.
	Raye looked up. " No... NO!" Raye yelled. Amara was released from the tree and fell to the ground. She woke up and looked at Raye.
	" I failed... haven't I..." she said sadly.
	Raye shook her head. " No... you tried." Raye went next to her. " It was my fault. I was foolish."
	
	The Element sailors appeared in their control center.
	" Yea! One crystal down, three to go!" Kiara said happily.
	" If it was this hard to get one crystal, imagine how hard it will be to get the others." Renee said sadly.
	Harriet placed the Fire Crystal on a pedestal. " There," she said.
	" Good job, girls," a voice said. They all turned around. Rob appeared.
	" Who are you?!" Gina said.
	" Allow me to introduce myself," he said. " I am Robert. I work with Dr. Utonium, a great doctor."
	" You were the ones who sent the monster," Kiara said.
	" Yes, it was us," Rob said simply.
	" Why?! What do you want of the Element Crystals?!" Renee said sharply.
	" The question, I think is, Why do you want it?" Rob asked. They all paused.
	" The Holder of the Elements is our leader," Harriet said finally. " If we find all the Element Crystals, we find the Holder of the Elements."
	Rob sat down. " Interesting... please continue."
	" We never had a leader..." Renee continued. " We were always loners. We want someone to lead us... like how Sailor Moon leads her scouts. If we find the Holder of the Elements... we'll have a leader."
	" We can help," Rob said.
	" I don't think so," Gina said. 
	" Think about it," Rob said. " With your powers combined with our monsters, we will be unstoppable."
	" But..." Kiara said. " What's in it for you?"
	Rob smiled. " I'm glad you said that. Once we find the Holder of the Elements, we kill her." The sailors gasped. " Then, with the Element Crystals, we have all the power in the world. We can control everything."
	" Kill our leader?!" Harriet yelled. " You have to be kidding!"
	" I'm not," Rob said. " It's smart."
	" Absolutely not," Renee said. " I think we can all agree with that."
	" It's not right... No!" Kiara said. " Gina... what do you think?"
	Gina was silent.
	" Don't tell me your agree, Gina!?" Harriet said.
	" Rob, I think we can work something out," Gina said. He smiled. They walked into the backroom.
