Spies for the Negaverse

While Zoycite was searching for Rainbow Crystals, Malachite started targeting wizards and witches for their energy. As he suspected, witches and wizards possessed more energy. What gave him a bonus was that no Sailor Soldier or Negaverse traitor got in his way. As he captured energy, he tried using a host for Onyx's new body in Gilbert Whimple, the head of Experimental Charms. However, when Malachite placed Whimple in the pod and attempted to transfer Onyx's snake body to him, the procedure could not finish.

"What's happening?" Malachite questioned Queen Beryl.

"Hmm, it seems this man's body is not strong enough for my brother," said Queen Beryl, examining the pod. "He is rejecting it. We need more energy, and a more suitable body. This man looks too old."

She frowned at the mustached man and looked back at Malachite. "Do what you want with him—he is no use to us."

Malachite erased his memory so Whimple would not remember what the Negaverse looked like, and put him back on Earth. Malachite continued his searching, targeting famous Quidditch wizards and dueling champions as a host for Onyx but he too rejected them. Frustrated, he concentrated on gathering energy for the Negaverse instead. He'd drain the entire wizarding race of all their energy if it meant bringing his old master back. Perhaps, that was what he had to do if he rejected every body presented to him.

"Maybe he'll return once we'll have all the rainbow crystals," Zoycite pointed out to Malachite, as he sat brooding for a while.

"That is a possibility," Malachite agreed. "I have been very careful in my selections for Onyx's hosts and he rejects each one. I am running out of options."

"You take a break," Zoycite smiled, patting his shoulder. "Let me find the holder of the next crystal carrier."

She smiled at him and took out the black homing crystal. "Dark Crystal, show me the carrier of the blue rainbow crystal!"

The crystal projected an image of a slightly tanned boy with blond hair and blue eyes. "Pierre Couleer…you are mine!"

--

Pierre Couleer was a student at Beaxbatons. He had a very good imagination, making him a great artist. Though he was a skilled artist and preferred to paint than anything else, he was a good student and made sure he did his homework first. He always finished his homework fast and efficiently. Beaxbatons was leaving for Hogwarts in a few days and he wanted to paint a few of his favorite spots before they left. He stood outside the front of the castle to paint a picture of it. Beaxbatons was a large castle, next to the sea. On warm days, students would swim in it. He painted sides of the school first, then painted scenes of the grounds. While he was painting the ocean, a woman he never met before came to him. Pierre peeked over the canvas and knew immediately she was up to no good.

"Who are you?". He demanded.

"ZOY!"

The pain hurt so bad that Pierre's writing knocked the easel ant the canvas to the ground. He scrambled to get to his feet.

"Pierre!"

The Teaching assistant of Beaxbatons came running with her wand outstretched. She had dark brown hair that fell to her shoulders.

"Jilly?" mumbled Pierre.

"Get inside!" shouted the one named Jilly. She was in her twenties, wearing light blue robes but the were not the same robes as the girl students wore. Her blue eyes were set in determination and her lips barred in sneer. She was tall and a little solid, making it hard for Zoycite to aim for him when she got between Zoycite and Pierre.

Pierre wasted no time. As soon as he was able to move, he rushed to the school.

"You're not going anywhere!" Zoycite hissed.

"Don't think I'll let you follow him!" shouted Jilly. "IMPEDIMENTIA!" she shouted, just as Zoycite took a step. The Impediment jinx kept Zoycite still. "What are you doing at this school? Explain yourself at once or I'll get the Headmistress, and trust me, you don't want that!"

Zoycite grunted as she squirmed, trying to move. "I'm…not telling you anything!"

Zoycite was trapped. The spell Zoycite was under held her more firm than the plants Cedric used on her. She could barely twitch her fingers, let alone move her feet.

"How did you get here?" Jilly demanded. "Not one can just waltz into Beaxbatons unannounced. This school is very hard to find."

"That may be," said Zoycite with a sly smile. "but if I want to find something, I will always find it."

Before Jilly could interrogate her any further, Zoycite vanished. Jilly gasped and stepped to where Zoycite was just standing moments before. There was no way anyone could apparate on the school grounds; how was the strange woman able to disappear? Jilly pursed her lips in confusion. It didn't matter. The woman was gone and hopefully she'll think twice before coming back. Jilly remembered about Pierre and went inside the school to find him. He wasn't very far. He was in the library. It was easy to find a smart student—go straight to the library. When she found him, he seemed to be in a state of shock, drawing absentmindedly into his notebook.

"That girl is obviously not your type," said Jilly, "so I don't think she was bothering you for a date."

Pierre suppressed a laugh. "No."

"What did she want?"

"I have no idea," said Pierre. "Never saw her before. She had this crystal that was making me hurt."

"I never knew crystals that could cause pain before," said Jilly thoughtfully. "Well, she's gone now and if she comes back, I'll have Madame Maxime deal with her."

Pierre laughed this time. "That would definitely keep her away."

Jilly laughed too. "Well, if you're all right, I've got to get the carriage ready so we can get to Hogwarts on time."

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Pierre. Jilly nodded and went back outside. He hoped that the strange woman that attacked him wouldn't follow him to Hogwart,s or attack anyone at Beaxbatons while he was away.

--

Zoycite returned to the Negaverse, still unable to move. Malachite was able to lift the spell from her though he did not know how magic worked on Earth. After getting a mouthful from Queen Beryl, Malachite walked Zoycite to somewhere private.

"How embarrassing," muttered Zoycite. "If it's not sailor soldiers, it's witches. How am I supposed to get the crystals now?"

"I'll handle it," said Malachite softly. "If we intend to gather energy from wizards and witches on Earth during this tournament, it will help us greatly if we had spies."

"How would get get spies?" Zoycite inquired.

"Humans," Malachite answered simply. "It wouldn't be a problem to tamper their minds. This woman that got in your way could prove useful to us."

Zoycite smirked. "Yes, that seems like a good way to get revenge. She stops me from getting the crystal and becomes our puppet."

"We will need another one from the other school," said Malachite, "Durmstrang—I'll look at some individuals and see if I find any useful."

"The students are supposed to arrive at this Hogwarts in a few days," said Zoycite, "will we get our spies by then?"

Malachite smiled at his lover. "Ah, don't underestimate me. You know I can."

"Yes," Zoycite smirked back, gazing at him with adoration. "You can do anything, Malachite."

--

Malachite came to Jilly while she slept. However, he couldn't put his subordinates under his spell unless they were conscious. He appeared into her bedroom, put his hand on her mouth. She woke with her eyes and she let out a muffled gasp.

"Don't make a sound," Malachite told her, his voice and eyes full of malice. "And stay where you are." The moment he told her to remain still, Jilly felt paralyzed. "I believe you met my friend earlier? You prevented her from doing an important job."

Jilly's eyes traveled down Malachite's face and body. He was dressed similar to that woman earlier from today. Jilly could tell they were from some faction and her sinking heart told her it was not good.

"My name is Malachite and you work for me now," said Malachite. "It is your duty to spy for the Negaverse. We need information about this tournament and you are going to help us get it."

Jilly felt obligated to listen to his word and submit to his will. There was no fighting it. She was a tool for the Negaverse now.

--

Turning Jilly into a Negaverse spy was easy, just as everything came easy for Malachite. He was the strongest of the four Negaverse generals and manipulation was one of his greatest skills. Now that he had his spy from Beaxbatons, he went to find one at Durmstrang. Durmstrang was a smaller castle compared to Beaxbatons, but there were acres upon acres of forest surrounding the castle. He peeked in on the students as they went about their business. He wasn't sure if a student would be a good enough spy for him. He appeared outside the window of the headmaster's office. The headmaster had gray hair and goatee. He was talking to a woman with dark brown hair and blond bangs. She was tall and slender.

"The ship's ready, uncle," she told the Headmaster.

Uncle? So this girl was the Headmaster's niece. What was she doing at Durmstrang? She seemed too old to be a student, yet too young to be a teacher. Could she be the assistant? He listened in on their conversation about the tournament and the hope that Durmstrang would achieve all glory. This teaching assistant, Danessa as he heard the Headmaster call her, was different than Jilly. Danessa acted boastful and ambitious. She wanted power. He sensed that in her. Manipulating her would be simple. It was always a bonus when his subjects wanted some more power. It was hard to find help like that. He wouldn't have to brainwash her, if he could manage it.

Danessa left the Headmaster's office and went down to her own. She settled behind her desk to begin writing the things she would do with the extra prize money. Of course, the champion of the tournament would win the ten thousand galleons, but she knew that she would get a little something in return. She was interrupted when Malachite appeared in her office.

"Good evening, Danessa," said Malachite.

"Who are you?" Danessa demanded. "How did you get in here?"

"My name is Malachite," he said, "and please, lower your wand. I mean you no harm. I wish to help."

"Help?"

"I understand you want power, glory?" asked Malachite with a smile. "Well, I can help you with that. I know how you can get much power."

"How?" Danessa looked quizzical.

"I serve a very powerful queen," said Malachite. "Anyone who serves her willingly and respectfully are well rewarded. However, to gain more power, I will need a little assistance from you."

"I'm listening," Danessa said.

"The Tyrannized tournament," Malachite began, "I can't be there every day to keep an eye on things. That is where you come in. I need you to be my eyes and ears. You see, this faction I serve collects energy from humans. The more energy we collect, the more powerful we become. You find out who can give us more energy, see that you are ranked in our cause."

"That is all you are after," said Danessa. "Energy?"

"Among a few things," said Malachite. "A powerful crystal known as the Imperial Silver Crystal and a person with a strong body. The queen's brother is ill, and the body he is in now is damaged. He needs a new one. Perhaps you can help us find a suitable body i n this tournament."

Danessa nodded. "I see, hmm. Well, we teach the dark arts in this school. If a Durmstrang student wins the tournament, he may serve worthy to be a host to your lord. More glory for Durmstrang."

"You volunteer for my cause then?" Malachite inquired. "You will be well rewarded, I promise you."

"I'm in," said Danessa. "I promise, I will be much use to you."

"I'll be in touch," Malachite bowed gentlemanly and disappeared. Danessa grinned and turned around, folding her arms. She wondered what sort of rewards she would receive for helping Malachite.

--

There was one more spy for Malachite to get. He walked through the halls of a castle with portraits of people sleeping in the frames. One person woke up and looked at sleepily at Malachite. "Lucius Malfoy?"

Malachite waved his hand and the person in the portrait fell back asleep. He heard some footsteps around the corner.

"All clear, my sweet?" said a gruff voice.

A tabby cat with red eyes came around the corner and stared at Malachite. She meowed.

"What have you found?"

She meowed at Malachite again and a man with a lantern stepped up behind her. He looked at Malachite. "Hey, how did you get in the school?"

Malachite smiled and tossed a ball of energy at the man. He shivered and blinked. His eyes looked hazy.

"You work for me now," said Malachite as he walked by him.

"Yes, master."

Serena was ecstatic about going to the homeland of Sailor V and finally meeting her idol. It would be fun to visit a new country and learn of its culture. She hated school with a passion but if she could go to school to learn how to turn people into toads instead of learning quadratic equations, she was in. The only problem was she would be away from her dear Tuxedo Mask. If she were to run into trouble up in Scotland, who would come to her rescue? Tuxedo Mask always seemed to show up at the right moment, but she had to be practical. He couldn't find her on the other side of the world—could he?

Serena wondered how she could leave a sign for Tuxedo Mask. He could help; she knew he could. If she knew his identity, finding him would be so much easier. She thought about purposely putting her in danger or even making a light that projected a symbol of a top hat or a mask—much like the city of Gotham did to signal Batman.

"Really Serena, a mask signal?" Raye snickered as she swept the porch. "You'd think that would get his attention?"

"Well, we've got to let Tuxedo Mask where we are going somehow," Serena groaned, wishing she hadn't given her ideas away.

"Getting into a fight sounds reasonable," said Ami, "but we haven't had run-ins with the Negaverse in a long time."

"Maybe we can get Nephlyte or Jedite in on it," Serena said with a shrug. "they could pretend to attack us."

"Nah, they wouldn't go for that," Molly said, shaking her head. "Besides, Serena, we'll have the team, Nephlyte,Jedite, including these two sailor scouts. I think we'll be safe."

"Yeah, Serena," Lita chimed in. "Don't doubt our power! As cute as Tuxedo Mask is, I'm sure we'll manage without him."

"I don't," Serena insisted. "I believe in us, really I do it's just that I don't feel right about leaving without telling Tuxedo Mask goodbye."

"Well if we knew who he really was," said Ami, "we could give him a letter. Then he could keep an eye on things while we're away."

"But we don't know who he is," Serena groaned, standing up from the step she was sitting on and stretching. "See you guys later."

Serena grabbed her backpack and headed on home. She passed the OsaP jewelry store. This was where she first met Tuxedo Mask. It was in the back of the warehouse. For a split second, she saw him standing on the top floor. His eyes shining, his cape waving. She remembered what he said to her: "Very good Sailor Moon. I'll remember this night."

A thought came to her. A letter. Ami had a good idea about leaving a letter for him. Serenea had no idea who he really was but this was the firs tplace she met him. Surely if Tuxedo Mask went looking for her, he would come to the place where they first met. Serena sat down, opened her backpack and pulled out her notebook and a pen.

Dear Tuxedo Mask,

You may have noticed that the Negaverse haven't been attacking much lately. That is because they are in Scotland. There are two sailor scouts there that are in trouble and need our help. I did not want to leave without saying goodbye to you. I had no idea how to find you or who you were so I'm leaving this letter in the place where I first met you. I don't know if you'll find this but this was the only thing I could thing of, except of getting in a fake fight to lure you.

If you wish to follow us, we'll be attending the magic school Hogwarts. The Negaverse is attacking students there. They are after these crystals called the rainbow crystals. I don't know exactly what they are but I'm sure they're powerful and if they get them all then we're in trouble. If you can track us down you can help us beat the Negaverse.

If you feel that Japan needs you then stay. I'd hate to leave our home unprotected. Thank you for always coming to our rescue. I just wanted you to know

Sailor Moon.

Serena folded the letter in half and placed it on the floor against a pillar. It was the same pillar she sat at months ago, crying when he had found her. Now, she could only hope he would find it.

--

Mina, Ginny and Cedric waited at the gates for the Japan scout team to arrive. They arrived the Sunday morning before the tournament was supposed to start. After a role call and introductions, the three Hogwarts students explained the deal as they helped carry their luggage to the school. Lita immediately stated how Cedric reminded her of her old boyfriend, or even better as her words were. She carried her own bags and walked in stride with him, gazing at his handsome face. When Mina mentioned Zoycite and the shadow Warriors, both Jed and Maxfield went white and gasped.

"Shadow Warriors, are you sure?" asked Maxfield, stopping.

"Yeah," Mina said. "That's what the Rainbow Knights always call them."

"This is bad," Maxfield said, looking at Jed.

"No kidding," Jed muttered. "If Zoycite manages to bring them back to the Negaverse we're in trouble."

"What do you mean?" asked Ginny.

"The Shadow Warriors are the Negaverse's strongest warriors," explained Jed. "They were trained personally by Lord Onyx—Queen Beryl's brother."

"Queen Beryl has a brother?" questioned Lita.

"You've never told us that!" Raye yelled at Jed, pushing him.

"Onyx disappeared after the Silver Millennium!" Jed hissed, stepping back. "We don't even know if he's still alive."

"It's true," said Maxfield quickly. "He isn't back, not that we know of. We've only be taking orders from Queen Beryl. Let us hope he doesn't return. He's worse than she is."

Raye glared at Jed as if they were a couple and she just learned that he had been cheating on her.

"Tell us more about these crystals," Ami said to change the subject.

"The Negaverse already have five crystals," said Mina. "And we don't know if they've got the blue crystal yet. The carrier doesn't go here."

"What do you mean?" inquired Ami.

"Cedric didn't see him in any of his visions," Ginny explained. "He's psychic."

"Wow," Lita mumbled.

"That's cool—so is Raye!" said Serena, nudging Raye. Raye rolled her eyes.

"Where are the other knights?" asked Jed, pushing up his glasses. He took his disguise seriously. He wore a pair of crisp black pants and a blue silk shirt. "Shouldn't they be here?"

"I'm the only one who remembers anything about being a rainbow knight after changing back," said Cedric. "I'm not exactly sure why. Must be because of clairvoyance."

They entered the school and set their belongings in the entrance hall. Cedric turned to the newcomers.

"This way to the Headmaster's office," he said and again, Lita remained at his side as Cedric led him to Dumbledore's office. He said the password "Acid Pops."

The gargoyle moved and Cedric turned to the others. "I already told Professor Dumbledore you were coming, but don't worry, he doesn't know who you really are. And even if he did—I'm sure he'd keep your secret."

"Thanks," said Maxfield as he and the others stepped onto the spiraling staircase.

After meeting with Dumbledore, the group found him to be a little mad but also a genius. He didn't pry too much where they were all from. He was happy to have new students and extra hands on the staff. He interviewed both Maxfield and Jedite to learn what their interests and skills were so he could find the best positions to place them.

"Excellent," Dumbledore said with a smile. "Welcome to Hogwarts. We will introduce you to the school at lunch in two hours. You are free to roam the school until then."

--

When students came to lunch, they were surprised to see two men people sitting at the staff table and five girls stand-in in front of it in black Hogwarts robes.

"Who are they supposed to be?" Ron inquired, pointing at the five girls.

"New students," said Ginny.

"You've met them?" Ron asked in surprise.

"Yeah," Ginny said. "They're really nice."

"Why didn't you introduce us?" asked Fred.

"Yeah, Ginny—they're cute," added George. "Especially the one with the pigtails."

Once ever one had sat down, Dumbledore stood up. "As you can see, we've got some new faces. May introduce our two new teaching assistants: Maxfield Stanton and Jed Marks."

Maxfield and Jed stood up. The girls whispered and giggled about their good looks.

"Mr. Stanton will be assisting in Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies, Arithmancy, Astronomy and Divination. Mr. Marks will be in Charms, Runes, Transfiguration, Potions and Herbology."

Draco Malfoy laughed as he leaned toward Crabbe and Goyle. "Pretty boy with the hair over there wouldn't last a minute in Care of Magical Creatures."

Maxfield looked at Draco as if he heard him.

"And these are our new students waiting to be sorted," said Professor Dumbledore. "Professor McGonagall if you will..."

Professor McGonagall stood up and walked to the stool with the Sorting Hat. "I'll call your name and place this Sorting Hat on yoru head." She told the girls. "Once it states what house your are in, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin, go to that appropriate table." She pointed at the tables to indicate which house they belonged to and the girls nodded in understanding.

"All right then," she said. "Molly Baker."

Molly sat down on the stool, feeling nervous. She gasped when she heard a voice in her ear. "Outstanding loyalty, and a I see you are a quick learner when you want to be. Very honest. Yes, you will do just fine in HUFFLEPUFF!"

Cedric and Mina scooted so Molly could sit with them.

"Lita Kino."

Hand on her hip, Lita strode the stool. Being the tallest of the group, she was at the stool in three steps. She sat on the stool with her feet planted on the floor. Her eyes glanced about the room as she sat on the stool and waited to be sorted.

"Loyalty, courage and unbelievable determination," whispered the sorting hat. "You don't stop until you get what you want, and you normally always do."

"Hey, how did you know about that?" muttered Lita.

"I see it in your head," insisted the sorting hat. "You don't allow any disrespect. I think your house can learn something from you in SLYTHERIN!"

Lita frowned, hoping to be in Hufflepuff with Cedric Diggory. Most of Slytheirn was made up of unpleasant students, but her frown disapeared when John Gavington scooted so she could sit next to him.

"John Gavington," he said softly and kindly. "If you want to trade music, just let me know. I've got a stash."

When Lita saw the earbuds in his ears and heard t he faint music playing, she realized he didn't have to tell her that. It was already obvious he was a music lover.

"Awesome," she said.

"Raye Hino."

Raye walked boldly to the stool, head up high and sat down. "Aggressive and brave. You'll do well in GRYFFINDOR!"

Smiling, Raye walked down to join the Gryffindors.

"Ami Mizuno."

Shy little Ami walked to the stool and sat down. "A brilliant mind. No better place for you rather than RAVENCLAW!"

Professor McGonagall removed the hat and Ami walked to end of the Ravenclaw table to whisper a shy hello to the girl seated there.

"Serena Tsukino."

"That's me!" Serena exclaimed, though it was already obvious because she was the only girl remaining. She sat down, smiling as the hat came down on her head.

"Well, on the outside, you are a real crybaby."

"Hey!" Serena hissed. "Not so loud!"

"But you are loyal to your friends. You would do anything for them. You are brave inside though you don't really believe it. The best place for you to work on your courage would be GRYFFINDOR!'

Serena looked at the Hufflepuff table and the Gryffindor table. She wasn't going to be in the same house as her best friend Molly, or in the house with Sailor V? On top of t hat, she'd be with Raye, her least favorite person in the group? They'd be fighting every day!

'Um,' Serena thought, ' are you sure?'

But before the hat could reply, Professor McGonagall already took off the hat. "Please be seated, Miss Tsukino."

"Yes, ma'am," Serena said grudgingly as she went to sit across from Raye. She looked nearly as pleased as Raye. When the food appeared on the plates, however. Serena's disappointment faltered. There was at least one thing she she would enjoy about Hogwarts.
