The Element Sailors / By: ChibiEve
PART THREE- The Forest Crystal

	The scouts had a meeting.
	" This is awful," Mina said. " We've failed to get back any of the crystals..."
	" Don't be discouraged yet, Mina." Amy said, taking out her Mini Computer. " I think this still might work."
	She pushed the "on" button, but nothing happened. Amy frowned.
	" Sorry, Amy," Luna said. " But, only Sailor Mercury can use the Mini Computer."
	" But, I am Sailor Mercury!" Amy said.
	" Without the Water Crystal, you are just a normal person." Artemis said.
	Amy looked down. Raye patted her on the back. " Don't worry, Amy," she said. " Everything will be fine."
	Amy smiled. " Thanks."
	" Anyway," Luna said. " I called this mission because I found out something about our enemy."
	" What, Luna?" Serena asked.
	" The two enemies were enemies like us," Luna explained. " But then, they all the sudden joined forces."
	" That explains how powerful they were," Michelle said.
	" But, one of them betrayed the other, and took the two crystals," Artemis continued. " So, there will be must dispute over who will get the last two crystals."
	" We have to make sure we have the last two crystals in the end," Amara said. " And the other two. They rightfully belong to us scouts."
	" That's right!" Lita said. 
	" We need a plan first," Amy said. " To trick them."
	" We could have a decoy crystal," Mina said. " Say that one of us was foolish enough to leave it on the desk."
	" Wouldn't work," Rini said. " The crystals are inside you. The only time they would be out is if they took them out from you."
	" Let's think," Raye said. " What would be a way to outsmart them?"

	Rob and Dr. Utonium were in their lab. 
	" Haha!" Dr. Utonium said. " We have the Water Crystal and the Fire Crystal! How delightful!"
	" Our plan was a big sucess," Rob said. " It shows how gullible those sailors are."
	" And it showed how weak the Sailor Scouts are," Dr. Utonium said. " Our monster practically killed that Sailor Neptune in 2 seconds!" They both laughed. " Plus, those Element sailors are weak too."
	" Fire Gun and Water Whip," Rob said. " How pitiful."
	" She got confused in Sailor Mercury's bubbles!" The room was flooded in laughter again.
	" Give back those crystals!" a voice said. Rob and Dr. Utonium spun around. There were four shadows in the doorway.
	" Brought by Mother Nature and Father Sky, I, Sailor Earth, fight for our mission!" the first one said. " I won't let you take the crystals we rightfully earned!"
	" Brought by the trees and thorns of the forest, I, Sailor Forest, fight for the crystals!" the second one said. " They shouldn't be here with you, but with us!"
	" Brought by the raging seas and beautiful oceans, I, Sailor Water, fight against scum like you!" the third one said. " You guys are evil for betraying us, and I won't take it anymore!"
	" Brought by the heat and extremes of this world, I, Sailor Fire, stand against betrayal from evils!" the last one said. " And of course that means you! So, hand over the crystals!"
	" We are the Element Sailors!" they all yelled. " Protectors of the Elements!"
	" Touching," Rob said. " Almost brings tears to my eyes."
	" And why is that, scum?" Kiara spat.
	" Because it's so pitiful," Dr. Utonium finished for Rob. 
	" We'll see who's pitiful!" Harriet said.
	" We challenge you to a duel!" Renee yelled.
	" A duel?" Dr. Utonium said. He glanced at Rob, who was smiling.
	" How fun," Rob said.
	" The Element Sailors vs. you two and two of your monsters!" Gina said. " Winners get the crystals."
	" Sounds fair enough," Rob said. " Do you agree, doctor?"
	" Yes," Dr. Utonium said. " Meet us at the park, at midnight."
	" Deal!" the Element sailors said. They ran out.
	Rob started to laugh. " Shows how gullible they are," he said while laughing. " They think we're actually gonna give them the crystals if they win?"
	" Of course we will, Rob," Dr. Utonium said. " That would be cheating if we didn't."
	Rob stopped laughing. " But, doctor-"
	" They can't win," Dr. Utonium continued. " So, therefore, we won't have to worry about giving them the crystals."
	Rob smiled. " Excellent."

	" DARIEN!!!" Serena yelled as she ran into Darien's arms.
	" Serena, hi!" Darien said. " How's my Meatball Head?"
	" Fine," Serena said. " How was your hiking trip?'
	" Good," Darien said. " Anything new happen, like scout business?"
	Serena looked down. " Yes, something happened," she said. " There are two new enemies looking for Element Crystals... Raye lost her Fire Crystal and  Amy lost her Water Crystal... everything is hectic."
	" That must suck," Darien said.
	" Yes, it does a lot," Serena said. " You have a lot to catch up on."
	" I'll be sure to ask Amy," Darien said. " Is Rini back?"
	Serena nodded. " So is Amara, Trista, and Michelle."
	" That's nice," Darien asked. They stopped at his apartment building.
	" I'll call you, Serena, OK?" Darien said. Serena nodded as Darien went inside.

	Amara and Michelle were walking down the street together.
	" The ocean is churning," Michelle said. " The monster will attack for the next crystal."
	" Which means that Lita and I are targets." Amara said. " They'll go for one of us."
	" I have a feeling... " Michelle said. " ...that it will be Lita."
	" Then we should protect her," Amara said. " She may be tough... but she isn't strong enough to face the monster herself."
	Michelle nodded, and they continued to walk.

	It was midnight the next day. The Element sailors waited eagerly at the park.
	" Maybe they'll chicken out," Kiara said nervously.
	" Doubt it," Gina said. " They seem too confident."
	" We'll woop them good though," Harriet said. " Even if we loose, we'll try to grab a crystal."
	" Good idea," Renee said. " They betrayed us, so why not betray them?"
	" We'll do that only if all else fails," Gina said.
	" I think all else as already failed," Kiara said.
	" Stop being so negetive," Harriet said. " I bet we can't loose."
	" Never say that," Kiara said. " Then we'll definetly loose!"
	" We'll only loose if you think like that," Renee said.
	" Be strong, be confident," Gina said. " We are the Element Sailors, protectors of the elements. We will not let the crystals fall into the wrong hands."
	They all nodded.
	
	Meanwhile, Rob and Dr. Utonium were up in a tree.
	" God, they are already too confident," Rob said.
	" No, not all," Dr. Utonium said. " Observe the one in blue. She seems nervous. She is probably frightened that they will loose."
	" Their weak spot," Rob said.
	" Yes,"  Dr. Utonium said. " She goes down first. Then the others."
	Rob smiled. " Exterminate the pest first, as I always say."
	Dr. Utonium looked down. " You packed our two finest monsters?"
	" Yes." He took out two balls. " They are inside here. It is Ginado and Kinglo."
	" Tell me about the monsters," Dr. Utonium said. " I want to know what my allies do."
	" Ginado is a transforming monster," Rob explained. " It can transform into any human, and make it seem like it is the actual person. Then, whoever is with the person and Ginado will be confused."
	" Excellent," Utonium said. " And what about Kinglo?"
	" Kinglo is a very strong monster," Rob said. " It uses physical strength to tackle all obstacles. It can withstand almost any attack."
	" Perfect," Utonium said. " I think we are ready."
	Rob nodded, and they both dissapeared.

	" I can't stand it anymore!" Kiara yelled out suddenly. " Where the heck are they?!"
	" Hush, Kiara," Renee said. " If they aren't cowards they'll come."
	" And we're not," a voice said. Rob and Utonium appeared.
	Gina smiled. " Let's do it then," she said. " Rock cannon!" A big cannon appeared in her hand.
	" Leaf blower!" A big leaf blower appeared in Renee's hands. Rob chuckled a little.
	" Water Whip!"
	" Fire Gun!"
	Utonium let out the monsters. " Go! Ginado! Kinglo!"
	Ginado and Kinglo burst out. Kinglo immediately attack Kiara, which sent her flying.
	" Ooooow, that hurt!" Kiara complained. She started to whip Kinglo, but he had no signs of pain.
	" What the heck?!" Kiara said. She ran to Renee who was fighting a double of herself.
	" Renee! Renee!" Kiara yelled.
	" What?!" both of them said. Kiara froze.
	" Um... which on is Renee?" she asked.
	" I am!" one of them said.
	" No, I am! You have to believe me!" said the other. Kiara backed away slowly.
	" Um... anyway, the real Renee, kick the monster's butt!" She ran off towards Harriet and Gina who were trying to fight Kinglo.
	" This is sooooo unfair!" Harriet said. " Kiara, go for Dr. Utonium and Rob!"
	" Alone?!" Kiara said.
	" Harriet, go with her!" Gina said. " I can take this dirtbag on!"
	Harriet hestitated, then they bothed headed for Dr. Utonium and Rob.
	Harriet started shooting her gun which sent Rob flying.
	Kiara tripped Utonium with her whip, causing him to drop the Water Crystal.
	" I got it!" Kiara said, snatching the Water Crystal.
	" Hey, that's not fair!" Utonium yelled.
	" It's not fair that you sent the two invincible monsters!" Harriet snapped back.
	" You never said they couldn't be strong," Rob said. " That crystal is ours right now!"
	Kiara stuck her tongue out, and they headed for Gina.
	" Gina! Run for it, we have the Water Crystal!" Gina nodded, and they ran toward the two Renee's.
	" Renee! Time to go!" One Renee seemed confused, but the other ran with them. The confused one turned into Ginado.
	The Element Sailors dissapeared as Utonium and Rob got up.
	" I can't believe they took the crystal!" Rob yelled kicking a rock across the grass.
	" Don't worry," Utonium said. " We can easily get it back. As soon as we find the Forest Crystal and the Earth Crystal, they'll definetly come to us to get them."

	Lita was walking home from school. She walked slowly and stared at the ground.
	" I can't believe I failed the test..." Lita said. " I got a lower score than Serena!" She rememered how Serena laughed at her.
	Lita growled. " I'll get back at her," she said.
	" Excuse me," a voice said. " Are you Lita Kino?"
	Lita turned around to see a girl with green hair. " Yes, that's me," she said. " Who are you?" {And why do you look so familiar?}
	" My name is Renee," she said. " Miss Haruna wanted me to tutor you." {She's the one... with the Forest Crystal!!}
	" A tutor?!" Lita said in shock. " NO! I already go to Study Buddies... that's bad enough!"
	Renee shook her head in amusement. " How about you think of me more of a helper than a tutor? More like a friend."
	Lita sighed. " Fine..." she muttered. She held up her test. " If it helps me improve my grades..."
	Renee started to chuckle. " So, your the one who got the 15 on the English test." she said.
	" Shuddap about it!!" Lita yelled. Renee's eyes were wide from shock.
	" Oh dear..."
	Lita laughed. " Sorry, got a little outta control there! Heh heh!!" Renee smiled.
	" Let's go, you can come to my place," Renee said. {So I can take your crystal.}
	Lita smiled and shurgged. " Alright," she said. They started to walk.
	" So, what grade are you in?" Lita asked. 
	" I'm a senior in High School," Renee said. Lita's jag dropped.
	" Wow, I'm only a freshman!" Lita said. " This is going to be so cool!"
	Renee nodded. " Lita, don't mind my house... it's a little high-tech. My parents are scientists and my sisters follow their lead. So, don't mind them."
	Lita nodded. {High tech? Cool!}
	Renee nodded and turned into a back alley. A small doorway was at the end. " I present to you, my humble abode."
	Lita chuckled, and they both entered.

	" Renee should be with the Forest Crystal holder right now," Gina said. Harriet was in the corner fiddling with the Water Crystal.
	" Where is she taking her?" Kiara said. " She just said that she was gonna pretend to be a tutor."	
	Renee entered the doorway, followed by Lita. The Element Sailors had their eyes wide.
	" RENEE!!!" they all yelled. Lita stood there in shock.
	Harriet quickly put away the Water Crystal and Gina shut off the computers.
	" Sorry if I'm interrupting anything..." Lita said.
	" No, don't worry," Renee said. " We love visitors. Come with me." They walked across the room. The sailors eyed Lita suspiciously.
	{They all look so familiar} Lita thought. It then struck her. {That's... Harriet! Sailor Fire!! And... Sailor Water and Sailor Earth!} Her eyes went upon Renee. {She's Sailor Forest! She's here for my crystal!} She tried to stay calm as they entered Renee's room.
	" Now, let's go over prepositions first," Renee suggested. " You seem to have the most trouble there." Lita nodded nervously as they began.

	Raye and Serena were walking together. Serena was giggling.
	" I still can't believe you passed the test," Raye said. " And I can't believe Lita failed."
	Serena waved the 75 in front of Raye's face. " I passed!!!" She started chuckling again. " And Lita got a 15!!! Hahahaha!!!"
	" You didn't rub it in her face, did you?" Raye said. Serena paused.
	" Oops..." Serena said.
	" Great, you probably made her feel stupid," Raye said. " I think you should go apologize."
	" Can't now," Serena said. " Daddy's taking me to the mall today and is letting my buy three things that I want. My parents are so proud!"
	A sweatdrop formed on Raye's head as Serena ran off.

	Unusually, the study session was like any other. Renee showed Lita everything in the book, and then Lita went home. Lita was confused.
	" Maybe I was wrong..." Lita said. " Maybe... they are just normal girls, but they didn't know I had the crystal. They are just normal girls with normal friends and... partially normal lives." She smiles.
	She suddenly felt something hit her, and she fell.
	" Owwwwwwww!" Lita said, rubbing her head. " That hurt!"
	" I'm so sorry," a voice said. She looked up and saw Raye. " Where did you go?"
	" Hi, Raye," Lita said. " I went to Renee's house to study."
	" Renee..." Raye said. " That sounds familiar."
	" She's... Sailor Forest," Lita said. Raye's jaw dropped.
	" You went to the Element sailors house?!" she said.
	Lita nodded. " But she didn't even attempt to take my crystal," Lita explained. " She just taught me English."
	" Maybe she didn't think you had the crystal," Raye said. " Or maybe they are aiming for the Earth Crystal?"
	Lita shook her head. " They knew..." she said. " I could tell by their stares."
	Raye thought for a moment. " I don't know what to tell you," she said finally. " Maybe you just shouldn't go to the study sessions anymore."
	" Maybe your right," Lita said." But... I hate to admit that these sessions are really working..."
	Raye's jaw dropped once more. " You're... you're thinking about going again?!"
	" Why not?" Lita said.
	" You're crazy!" Raye shouted. " None of the other scouts would approve."
	" Listen, Raye," Lita said. " I'm glad that you are so concerned but I think I'll be fine... anyway, I could easily kick their butts!" She then waved, and ran off.
	Raye looked down. " Poor Lita," she thought to herself. " One day, they will attack her."

	Many study sessions went by, and nothing happened to Lita. The sailor scouts soon forgot about their threat, and continued on with their daily lives. But, meanwhile, the element soldiers were thinking hard.
	" Lita finally trusts us," Gina said happily. " We can attack now."
	Renee looked down. She had become very close to Lita throughout the study sessions. They had even gone to the mall a few times together, and went to see a movie.
	" Must we?" Renee said.
	" Are you crazy, Renee?" Kiara said. " Of course we must! Did you forget our mission?"
	" I was just thinking that if we attack, Lita won't trust me anymore," Renee said sadly. " I'll never be able to hang out with her anymore."
	Everyone's jaws dropped.
	" You've been her friend?!" Harriet said. " All those times you said you were going with her for the mission, you were going because she was your FRIEND?!"
	" Hey, she's really nice!" Renee said.
	" She is also Sailor Jupiter, our enemy," Gina reminded her. " We have to attack her sooner or later."
	" Well count me out!" Renee yelled. " I will not help you hurt my friend!"
	Kiara glared at Renee. " Fine, we'll attack her without you," she said. " Tonight, we shall attack at her house!"
	Renee stared in horror as the element soldiers left. She looked down. " Poor Lita..."

	Lita looked out her window. It was almost midnight. She sighed.
	That day, Luna had given her a big lecture. She was not allowed to go to anymore study sessions with Renee.
	" Too risky," Luna had said. " I'm surprised you were going! You know better than that."
	Lita looked down. " Renee is my friend," she said. " She would never betray me like this."
	Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Confused, Lita went and opened the door. The element sailors were standing in the doorway. Renee stood in the back, her head down.
	" Hi, guys," Lita said uneasily. " What are you doing here?"
	All of them smiled, except for Renee.
	" Earth Power!"
	" Fire Power!"
	" Water Power!"
	There was a pause. Gina nudged Renee.
	" Um... Forest Power."
	" Transform!!" they all yelled. They all turned into the element sailors.
	Lita looked at them in shock as Gina approached her. " We are here for the Forest Crystal," she said.
	Lita despretely looked at Renee. Her head was still bowed.
	" No..." she said as her eyes filled with rage. She held up her henshin stick. " Jupiter Star Power!" She transformed into Sailor Jupiter.
	" Bring it on!" she yelled. Renee huddled into a corner, as the other sailors prepared to fight.
	Kiara smiled. " Alright then." She took out a large gun and pointed it at Lita. " This is the Crystal Snatcher 2000. We invented it recently in our laboratory. It uses the power of the crystal to charge it up. It takes only one blast to extract the crystal." She aimed it towards Lita's heart. " It may be more painful, but it is much more time efficent. The more you struggle, the worse it will be."
	She shot out a blast, and Lita nimbly dodged it. A cloud of smoke filled the room.
	" Jupiter Thundercloud Zap!" Lita yelled. She purposely missed, so the smoke would become thicker. She approached Renee.
	" You betrayed me," she said with hate.
	Renee looked down. " I'm sorry, Lita," she said. " I really want to be your friend, but I can't forget my mission." She looked up. " We need your crystal to to complete it. I'm sorry..."
	" And what mission would that be?"
	Renee sighed. " We have gone without a leader for many years. We recently found in an old legend that the leader of the Element sailors would be the Holder of the Elements. She has a great power-"
	" That can destroy anything, no matter how big or small," Lita finished. " We know the tale. You could've just asked, and we could've helped you."
	Renee shook her head. " No. No one can be trusted. We've been betrayed before. People say that want to help us... they seem kind. But they end up only going after the power the Holder of the Elements has. This is the closest we've gotten... please, just don't struggle, and let us take your crystal!"
	" Can't do that," Lita said. " Your mission doesn't sound too nice... you approached it in the wrong way." Lita then bounded to the balcony, and jumped down.
	" Leaf blower!" Renee yelled. She used the wind to blast away the smoke.
	The Element sailors looked around in confusion. Gina had a nasty wound on her arm from Lita's attack.
	" You're injured!" Harriet said, rushing to Gina. 
	Gina pushed her away. " Never mind that," she said. " Where did Lita go?"
	Renee looked toward the balcony. " Out there," she said numbly. " Somewhere."
	They all went towards the balcony. They saw Lita's shape running down the street towards Serena's house.
	" We'll take the van and follow her," Gina said. " She can't outrun a car."
	They all nodded and ran downstairs, except for Renee. She stood out on the balcony and stared at Lita.
	" Good luck, my friend..."

	Lita ran as hard as she could. She would not surrender her crystal.
	" Serena's house is only down this road," she said. She finally got to the house, and started banging on the door. A sleepy Sammy answered the door. Sammy suddenly wasn't sleepy anymore.
	" Oh my god, it's Sailor Jupiter!" he said happily. Awaken by Sammy, Rini and Serena ran downstairs.
	" Sailor Jupiter?!" they both said.
	" Please, I need shelter," Lita said eagerly. She closed the door. Shortly after that, a speeding van passed by.
	" Wait till I tell mom and dad!" Sammy said as he ran upstairs.
	Serena took Lita into the kitchen.
	" What happened?!" Serena said. Luna came downstairs.
	" Jupiter, what are you doing here?" Luna asked.
	" The Element sailors attacked at my apartment," Lita explained.
	Luna frowned. " I knew it!"
	" They started chasing me," Lita said. " They are much stronger than they appear to be."
	" We've already noticed that," Serena said. " Are you alright?!"
	Lita nodded. "  They could come any second though," she said.
	Serena's parents suddenly came downstairs in shock.
	" Oh my goodness, Sammy was right," Mrs. Tsukino said. " Sailor Jupiter is in my house."
	Lita sighed. " I have put this family in danger," she said. " My enemies could come here any second. I must leave. Good bye." Luna jumped on Lita's shoulders as they started to leave. Serena took Lita's arm.
	" I wish I could come," Serena whispered.
	" Me too," Rini added. Lita smiled, and nodded. She then left with Luna.
	" Hey, Sailor Jupiter took Luna," Sammy said.
	" Don't worry," Mr. Tsukino said. " I bet Luna will be safe in the sailor scouts hands."
	" And it only seems right for Luna to be with Sailor Moon," Mrs. Tsukino said. " After all, she does have a crescent moon bald spot." She giggled as a sweatdrop formed on Serena's head.
	" It's not a bald spot..." Serena said as Rini giggled.

	Lita ran towards the park. She stopped to rest.
	" Luna, what am I going to do?" she asked Luna. Luna went in a tree.
	" Call the other scouts," Luna said, getting out Lita's communicator. Lita snatched it back.
	" No, we can't! What will their parents say?" Lita said. " They won't let them leave in the middle of the night!"
	" Remeber, Mina, Amara, and Michelle live alone," Luna said. Lita sighed, and called up all three of them. They all agreed to meet her at the park.
	Suddenly, a dark figure appeared behind a tree.
	" Sailor Jupiter, I think you need some help," the voice said. Trista emerged from the shadows.
	" Sailor Pluto!" Lita said. " I'm glad your here."
	Trista nodded. " I had to," she said. " You are in much trouble."
	Suddenly, Amara's car stopped by the park. Mina, Michelle, and Amara came out. They had already transformed.
	" We're here!" Mina announced, feeling funny since she was one of the only inners here besides Lita.
	" Thank you," Lita said nervously. " They will probably arrive soon, so we should move."
	Amara nodded, and they all ran down the street to the arcade.
	" The bald spotted kitty likes field mouse pudding," Luna said stupidly. The door open and they herded in.
	Luna closed the door and went on a machine. She called all the scouts. She got all of them on.
	" Amy and Raye, you should stay home, since you have no powers," Luna said. " But Serena and Rini, you guys should come. Sneak out if possible."
	" Alright!" Rini and Serena said. They closed the connection.
	" Luna, be careful," Amy said.
	" Never surrender the crystal!" Raye yelled. The connections were closed.
	" Serena and Rini are on their way," Luna said.
	" We could use Moon-Face right now," Amara said.
	" We need a plan," Michelle said. " It's not that easy to avoid these sailors, since they know so much about her."
	" I knew those study sessions were bad news!" Luna said. 
	Mina shook her head. " This is so horrible..." Mina said. " What exactly are they doing with the crystals? Do they want the power that the Holder of the Elements have?"
	Lita shook her head. " Renee told me that they need the crystals to find the Holder of the Elements because she is their leader."
	They all looked surprised.
	" Such an innocent mission," Amara said. " But they make it seem so evil."
	Michelle nodded. " We could've helped them," she said. 
	" But it's not that easy to just let people help you," Amara interrupted. " Remember how we didn't let anyone help us with our mission?"
	Trista looked down. " We should've..." she said. " But why won't they let us help them now?"
	" The fear of betrayal," Lita said.
	Suddenly, Serena and Rini knocked on the door. Trista let them in.
	" Puu!" Rini said, hugging Trista. She smiled.
	" No time for hugs now, Small Lady," Trista whispered. " It's sailor business time."
	Rini nodded, and the pair joined the team.
	" So, what's the plan?" Serena asked.
	" We have none yet," Mina said wearily. " God, why did they decide to attack so late at night?"
	" They didn't think any of the scouts would come to help since they're sleeping," Rini said.
	" Or they thought that we would be too tired to fight," Serena added.
	Lita looked down. " They mean business now," she said. " They made a gun-"
	" Like the one Eugile had?" Serena asked. Lita nodded.
	" That's evil of them," Rini said.
	" They said it was painful, and if I didn't struggle it wouldn't hurt as much," Lita said. " But I don't want to face that thing."
	" No one would," Michelle said.
	The van suddenly pulled up by the arcade.
	" I heard voices in here," they heard Harriet say.
	" I say we come back in the morning," Kiara said. There was a slapping sound, then an " Ouch!" from Kiara.
	" Shut up!" Gina said.
	They scouts hurried into the backroom and shut the door as the sailors entered.
	" I was sure they were here," Gina said.
	" Oh, well," Renee said, obviously pleased.
	" Renee, don't forget our mission!" Gina snapped. " Your the one who got us into this mess. We get the crystal and leave, and if you don't, your out!"
	It was silent.
	" Harsh leader," Mina whispered. Trista searched around the wall. She flipped open a small window.
	" We might be able to fit through this," Trista said.
	Rini and Luna had no trouble get through but the others got through as well. Amara had just slipped out as the backroom as the sailors whipped open the backroom door.
	" Dammit!" Gina yelled. She grumpily slammed the door.
	The scouts sighed in relief.
	" Now what?" Lita said.
	" You can all come to our place for the night," Amara said. Michelle smiled comfortingly.
	The other scouts nodded, and went into Amara's car. They drove off to Amara's apartment.

	Lita woke up on the couch to the sound of a ringing phone.
	" Hello...?" Lita said wearily.
	" Lita!!" Raye's voice said on the other line. " I am so glad your OK."
	Lita smiled. " I had a lot of help from the other scouts."
	" Amy spent the night over here," Raye said. " We were worried all night long."
	" I'm glad you guys care," Lita said. " But I'm fine."
	Suddenly, the phone line got disconnected.
	" Raye??? Are you there?" Lita said.
	" She was," a voice said. " But she is gone now."
	Lita turned around to a gun pointed at her head. Gina stood there, holding it, the other sailors behind her.
	" Give it up," Kiara said. " Or else."
	Lita shook her head, but knew she couldn't get out of this one.
	" Fine, we have no choice," Gina said.
	She shot out a blast, and Lita cried out in pain. It was the worst pain she could ever imagine. Soon enough it was gone, and Lita layed there, almost lifeless. Gina grabbed the crystal, and they all dissapeared.
