The Element Sailors / By: ChibiEve PART TWO - The Water Crystal The scouts were at the Cherry Hill Temple. " It's my fault," Amara said. " I should've protected her." " Stop it, Amara," Raye said. " It isn't your fault. All this happened because of those stupid Element Sailors." " Poor Raye," Serena said. " Are you sure you have no powers?" " Positive," Raye said. " I feel so... helpless." " They'll probably come after one of the other four too," Amy said. " Lita, Amara, and I are the next likely targets." " I won't let them get me!" Lita said. " I'll die before letting them take my crystal!" " Same with me!" Amara said. " I'll defeat these imposter sailors, and get Raye's crystal back, too!" " We need a plan," Michelle said. "They could attack at any time." Rini nodded and turned toward Raye. " Don't worry, Raye," she said. " Sailor Mini Moon will defeat the monsters and retrieve your crystals!" " Not without my help!" Serena said. " Serena, you can't even tie your own shoes, let alone help Raye." Serena's head bottled up in rage. " Can too! I could help!" " Yea, right." " I can!!!!!" They continued to argue as sweatdrops formed on everyone's heads. " I guess this meeting is over," Luna said. " Yea, I guess so," Artemis said. Gina sat in the backroom with Rob. " So, your suggesting we kill our leader so we can control the universe?" Gina asked. "Doesn't seem too bad of an idea..." " I knew you'd see it my way," Rob said. " I'm not done yet," Gina interrupted. " Also, this means we must change our whole mission just for your petty dream." " It's not petty," Rob said. " It's smart." " Yes, so it is..." Gina said. There was a silence. " So, do you agree?" Rob asked. " Will we join forces?" Gina looked up. " Fine," she said. " But you must promise... you will never betray us." Rob smiled, and crossed his fingers behind his back. " I promise." " Then it's settled." Gina said. " I will tell the other sailors, and you will tell your doctor. We will meet again tomorrow and then we'll work out our first mission." She got up and left the room. Rob smiled. " We have suceeded." He dissapeared. " Amy?" a voice said as Amy entered her apartment. Amy was startled. " Who's there?!" Lita emerged from the apartment. " Hi, Amy." Amy sighed. " God, Lita, you startled me!" She put her books down. " What are you doing here?" " I'm making sure no monsters are here to get you," Lita said. Amy shook her head. " You don't have to protect me," she said. " Besides, you a target too. So is Amara." " Yea, but I want to protect you," Lita said. " After you left study buddies, we decided we would protect you since you would probably be attacked first." " That's very nice of you, Lita," Amy said. " But I think I'll be fine." Lita looked down. "Are you sure?" " Yes, I'm fine," Amy said. " Thanks anyway." Lita shrugged and left. "Bye, Amy!" Amy went on her couch. She opened a book and started reading it. But soon she got lonely. She looked at the clock; it was 8 'o clock. She picked up her phone and called up Michelle. " Hi, Michelle, this is Amy," Amy said. " Oh, hi, Amy," Michelle said. " What's new?" " Nothing," Amy said. " That's why I'm calling. It's so lonely over her. And dark. It's like a monster could attack at any time." " Isn't Lita there?" " Not anymore. I told her I would be fine. I wish she hadn't left." " I'm sure everything will be fine," Michelle said. " You're strong. The monster wouldn't have a chance." Amy chuckled. " Thanks for the support." " Well, I'll see you tomorrow," Michelle said. " Alright, bye!" They hung up. Amy resumed her position on the couch and continued to read. It was noon the next day. Dr. Utonium, Rob, and the Element sailors were meeting at the control center. " So, I guess we'll be working together," Gina said. " The doctor looks kinda freaky," Kiara whispered to Harriet. " Hold your tongue, Kiara," Harriet snapped. " This is part of the mission." " Doesn't seem like much of a mission now," interrupted Renee. " They want us to kill our leader!" " I have an uneasy feeling about this," Kiara said. Harriet sighed. " I do too. But I think we should trust Gina. We're all like sisters." " You better be right," Renee said. " Because if this thing screws up, I'm never going to trust her decisions again." Rob gave them a glare, and they stopped whispering. " I have a monster," Dr. Utonium announced. " Rob made sure that it would obey your every command." " We shall accompany it," Gina said. " I've found the person who holds the Water Crystal." A screen popped up. " Observe." " Her name is Amy Anderson," Kiara said. " She is like a genius, and she's a great swimmer. She lives in a condo with her mom, who's a doctor." " We don't need her whole bio," Dr. Utonium interrupted. Kiara sighed. " Um, she usually hangs around the pool or at the Cherry Hill Temple." " We can't go to Cherry Hill Temple," Harriet said. " They know us already." " Exactly," Kiara said. " So, if we ever attack, she's usually alone at the pool." " Excellant," Rob said. " And when is the next time she will be at this pool?" " According to my calculations," Renee said. " At 3 'o clock this afternoon." " Then, at 3 'o clock today, Kiara, accompanied by our monster, will get the Water Crystal." Dr. Utonium said. " Me? Alone?" Kiara gulped. " Yes, I think our monster is strong enough to only need one sailor." Dr. Utonium said. " You are all dismissed, except for Rob." They all left and Rob stayed. " I can't stand working with these twits!" Dr. Utonium said. " Neither can I," Rob said. " Are we going to use Plan B?" " Yes," Dr. Utonium said. There was a pause. " Um... doctor?" Rob asked. " Um... what is exactly... Plan B?" The doctor sighed. " You go find the Fire Crystal. Then, you bring it here. Once those twits get the Water Crystal, we take it, and go back to our place.We will already have two crystals. Then, it will be a snap to get the other two without the sailor's help." Rob smiled. " Yes, perfect." They both laughed, and Dr. Utonium left. Rob hurried into the back room. He found the Fire Crystal and put it into his pocket. He then left. It was 3 'o clock. Amy went to the pool in her bathing suit. She got into the water. " Nice to see you here," a voice said. Amy turned around to see Michelle. " Oh, hi, Michelle," Amy said. " Anything new?" Michelle shook her head. " No," she said. " How about you?" " No," Amy said. " I don't think I'm the next target. They would've attacked by now." " Either that, or they have an extremely good plan," Michelle said. Amy sighed, and floated on her back. " It's kind of boring though," Amy said. " With all the other monsters, they attacked every day." " Yea, it's weird, isn't it?" Michelle said. " Doesn't seem like their in too much of a rush." " Or maybe their just working secretly," Amy said. " Maybe I've lost my crystal without me knowing it." " Very doubtful," Michelle replied. " You seen how much pain Raye went through when her crystal was extracted." Amy looked down. " I hope it's not too painful..." Michelle laughed. " Don't worry about that, because we won't let them touch your crystal." She put her hand on Amy's shoulder. " I promise." Amy smiled. " Thank you, but please don't promise," Amy said. " Because such a promise can be so easily broken. Amara promised Raye that she wouldn't let anyone hurt her, but... the enemy is just too strong." Michelle looked down. " OK, then, I won't promise," Michelle said. " I'll try." Kiara and the monster appeared outside the pool. " Darn it!" Kiara said. " One of those pesky scouts are with her!" " I will take care of the other scout, and you go for the Water Crystal," the monster said. " Good idea," Kiara said. " Go!" The monster nodded, and entered the pool. Amy and Michelle gasped. " I am here for the Water Crystal," the monster said. " Surrender!" " Not if I can help it!" Michelle yelled. " Neptune Planet Power!" She transformed into Sailor Neptune. " Mercury Star Power!" Amy yelled. She transformed into Sailor Mercury. " Amy, you leave! I'll take care of the monster," Michelle said. " Neptune Deep Submerge!" The monster dodged it. " But, Michelle-" " No buts, Amy!" Michelle yelled. " GO!" She attacked the monster as Amy ran off. The monster took Michelle and held her underwater. She then tied Michelle to a pole, and left. " NO!" Michelle said. " Amy!!!!!" Amy ran down the hallways, into the locker room. " Hopefully, they won't find me in there," Amy said. " But I did," a voice said. Amy looked up. It was Kiara! " Brought by the waves of the sea, I , Sailor Water, fight for our mission. Hand over the Water Crystal, and you're torture will be less than expected!" " I don't think so, Sailor Water!" Amy said. " The Water Crystal will always stay with me! For, I am Sailor Mercury, the rightful owner of the Water Crystal, and the defender of truth and love!" Kiara chuckled. " Nice speech," she said. She took out a blue whip. " But mine was better. Water Whip!" She slashed the whip at Amy once, and it made her fall. " Mecury Bubbles Blast!" Amy yelled. Kiara looked around. " You can't hide, Mercury." she taunted. " I will find you... and your punishment will be servere." " Not if I can help it!" Amy said, appearing behind Kiara. " Shine Aqua Illusion!" Kiara fell, and landed hard. " My face! You smudged my lipstick! You're gonna pay!" She got up and glared at Amy. She lifted one hand. " I call upon the element water! Bring waves of water upon this pitiful human!" she yelled. She put a hand towards Amy. " Tidal Waves Blast!" A huge stream of water hit Amy and knocked her into the wall. Four starfish came and suctioned Amy to the wall. " Your crystal is mine," Kiara said. She took out her crystal, and aimed it at Amy. A beam shot out, and went right into Amy. She screamed. " Yes, come to me, Water Crystal," Kiara said. The Water Crystal emerged from Amy's body, and she immediately detransformed. Amy lie there, limp and weak. " Haha!" Kiara said as she grabbed the crystal. " Monster! Come out!" The monster appeared. " Take this crystal back to the base," Kiara said, tossing the crystal to her. The monster dissapeared with the crystal. " Mercury.... Star..." Amy said. " Don't even try," Kiara said. " It doesn't work. But you don't have to worry, because I'm gonna kill you!" The whip came back into her hands. " The punishment for resistance against the almighty Sailor Water is 100 lashings with the Water Whip, and then death. Do you deny the charges?" " I will always resist the enemy!" Amy spat. " Fine, then," Kiara said. " Have it your way." She let the whip down onto Amy's back. " One!" WHIP! " Two!" WHIP! " Three!" " HOLD IT!!!!" a voice yelled. Kiara turned around. " How dare you hurt poor Amy!" the voice continued. " She is a kind sweet girl who doesn't need the likes of you to hurt her! Now return the crystal!" " Who is that?!" Kiara said. " I am Sailor Moon!" the voice said. " Champion of justice!" " And we are the Sailor team!" the rest of them said. " Sailor Jupiter!" " Sailor Venus!" " Sailor Mini Moon!" " And Sailor Uranus!" " Tiny team," Kiara giggled. " What about the precious Sailor Neptune? And Mars? Or..." She looked at Amy. " You little sailor Mercury?" " We would've had them if it weren't for the likes of you!" Rini yelled. " My work here is done," Kiara said. " I'll spare Amy... strong for such a pathetic girl." She dissapeared. " AMY!" they all yelled. They took her down from the wall. Raye emrged from the darkness with Michelle who detransformed. " I'm so sorry, Amy," Michelle apologized. " It's not your fault, Michelle," Amy said. " Please don't blame yourself." " Amy, are you alright?" Raye asked. " I must be strong," Amy said. " For our team, even if I don't have powers." " You're very brave," Amara said. Kiara appeared in the control room. The other sailors were there. " Mission accomplished!" Kiara said happily. The sailors looked at her with sad faces. " Hey, who died?" Kiara joked. " We have been betrayed," Gina said. Kiara's smile dissapeared. " What?!" " Today, Dr. Utonium and Rob left," Renee said. " They took the Fire Crystal with them." " They probably have the Water Crystal too," Harriet said. Kiara looked down. " Oops... it's my fault. I gave the Water Crystal to the monster." " It's not your fault, Kiara," Gina said. " You didn't know." " Your not mad at me?" Kiara asked. " We're only mad at Rob and Dr. Utonium now," Renee said. " We have to get the two crystals from them, and get the two other crystals. We will go back to our old mission." " The right mission." Harriet said. END OF PART TWO
