The Collector


Outer space: Galactus's ship

At the main room of the ship, Galactus was with Sludge and Mechasai, then, Galactus looked at the Earth and turned away in anger.

"Every day that I look at that planet, the more impatient I become." Galactus said. "I want those Power Gems now!"

And then, Moth Kreid came into the room with an alien.

"There, state your name to Lord Galactus." Moth Kreid said.

"I am Gamegrab, also known as the Collector." the alien introduced himself. "I was looking forward to do some collecting, and I can collect the Earthlings, in addition to their Power Gems."

"Well, if you are so determined, then go. Bring me the Power Gems." Galactus ordered.

"Fear not, my lord." Gamegrab said. "I won't return without all the Power Gems."

Gamegrab got into a space pod and flew down to Earth.

Sunny Bay: Iris's home

At Iris's home, the girls were relaxing and using their powers for recreational purposes.

Iris was in her room, using her light powers to make sparkles fall from the ceiling.

Talia was in the basement, using her ice powers to create sculptures.

Auriana was outside, using her fire powers to practice fire dancing.

Lyna was in the library, using her wind powers to blow wind to herself while she read books.

Carissa was outside, using her lightning powers to zap objects in midair that she threw.

And then, the Power Gems began flashing and Cabax's voice came through them.

"This is bad! We have another alien attack!" Cabax said.

The Princesses regrouped with each other and changed into their elemental dresses.

Sunny Bay: Downtown

At downtown Sunny Bay, Gamegrab was attacking with an army of robot grunts.

"Wreck everything you want, Crushers!" Gamegrab said. "This will surely draw out the ones with the Power Gems."

As Gamegrab was boasting, he was hit by an ice block.

"Oh, don't worry. Your plan worked." Talia said.

"Ah, you showed up. Crushers, get them!" Gamegrab said.

The Crushers attacked, and the Princesses began battling them.

In about five minutes, all the Crushers were defeated and they all exploded.

"Not bad, but I won't go down so easily." Gamegrab said.

"Oh yeah, take this!" Talia said as she sent a wave of ice towards Gamegrab.

"Collect." Gamegrab said, and a white orb on his chest glowed and absorbed the attack.

"What the?" Talia asked.

"Right back at ya!" Gamegrab said as he sent Talia's attack right back at her.

"Try this on for size!" Iris said as the Princesses united their powers for an attack.

The Princesses' combined their powers into a beam of lightning, wind, fire, ice, and light.

"Collect." Gamegrab said, and a white orb on his chest glowed and absorbed the attack.

"No way, he absorbed that attack as well?" Carissa said.

"Right back at ya!" Gamegrab said as he sent the Princesses' attack right back at them, knocking them down to the ground.

"Now then, which one of you should I collect first?" Gamegrab asked, and turned his attention towards Iris. "I know, you."

Gamegrab shot white beams from the orb on his chest at Iris, but the beams were intercepted by Talia and Carissa, who used their powers to form a shield.

"That won't last for long!" Gamegrab said, as he continued to strike Talia and Carissa's shield, and eventually broke through it, catching Talia and Carissa with the beams. "Now, collect."

Talia and Carissa were turned into small, blue and purple balls respectively and were brought over to Gamegrab.

"I collected two, and three more to go." Gamegrab said.

"Talia, Carissa!" Lyna shouted.

"Give us back our friends, you monster!" Auriana said as she tried to strike Gamegrab with the Whip of Fire.

Auriana struck Gamegrab on the leg, causing him to fall down, and drop Talia and Carissa.

Lyna used wind to bring Talia and Carissa to her and Auriana.

"Talia, Carissa! Can you hear us?" Auriana asked.

"We'll find some way to turn you guys back to normal." Lyna said.

"That's the least of your worries, right now, you should be worrying about me." Gamegrab said as he got up and shot his beams at Auriana and Lyna. "Collect."

Auriana and Lyna were turned into small, orange and green balls respectively and were brought over to Gamegrab, along with Talia and Calissa.

"Now I collected four, and only one more to go." Gamegrab said as he held the four Princesses, that he turned into balls, in his hand.

"No!" Iris shouted as Gamegrab held Talia, Auriana, Lyna, and Carissa in his hand.

"You want your friends back, then come and get them." Gamegrab said.

Iris tightened her grip on the Sword of Light and charged for Gamegrab.

Gamegrab shot his beams at Iris, but she managed to knock them away with the Sword of Light.

Iris managed to get in real close to Gamegrab and slashed him multiple times across the chest, and eventually knocked him down onto the ground.

"Turn my friends back to normal." Iris said, pointing the Sword of Light at Gamegrab's face.

"Or, how about I could tell you that I collected all the strikes you gave me earlier." Gamegrab said. "I wonder how many times you struck me."

Gamegrab unleashed all the stored attacks back at Iris, who was hit badly and knocked back.

"You were a fool to think you could defeat me easily like that." Gamegrab said. "Now it's time to collect the prize."

Gamegrab shot his beams at Iris, who was turned into a pink ball, and as Gamegrab could grab Iris, Amaru, as a pegasus, came flying and rammed into Gamegrab.

Amaru managed to get away with Iris and flew to where Cabax was watching from the rooftops.

"Nice work, Amaru." Cabax said, then, he looked down where Gamegrab was and analyzed him. "I see, so that's how he does it."

Cabax created a pink ball that looked like Iris.

"Amaru, make sure he gets this." Cabax said. "It will mess with his abilities and turn the girls back to normal, but don't make it too easy on him."

Amaru took the pink ball and flew down to confront Gamegrab.

"Ah, it's so nice of you to bring back my prize." Gamegrab shot his beams at Amaru.

Amaru dodged most of them, but he got caught by some.

"I have no interest in beasts." Gamegrab said as he tossed Amaru away. "Now, the girl is mine."

Gamegrab picked up the pink ball and laughed, until he felt a spark.

"What's happening?" Gamegrab said, as his entire body started sparking.

"What you have is a decoy, the real Iris is with me." Cabax said as he revealed himself.

"No, curse you." Gamegrab said as he fell down, and the white orb on his chest shattered, and all the Princesses were returned to normal and regrouped.

"Alright, we're back to normal!" Carissa said.

"Thanks to you, Cabax." Talia said.

"I was created to be the guardian of the Power Gems, I can't just stand by and make you do all my work." Cabax said.

"You will all pay for tricking me!" Gamegrab said as he got up.

"The only one who will pay is you, for turning us into balls." Iris said.

The Princesses' combined their powers into a beam of lightning, wind, fire, ice, and light.

The attack struck Gamegrab, and he was killed in an explosion.

"Alright! Feels so good to finally do that!" Auriana said.
