"Queen Beryl!" yelled Jadeite. "I found a new source of energy!"

"Actually Jadeite, I have a mission for you."

Jadeite gasped and fell to the floor. "A... a mission? I haven't had one of those since the Silver Millennium! I remember it like it was yesterday. You told me and the other Shitennou to take out Queen Serenity, and you said it was a very important mission! I don't recall what happened next, but I know I respawned a thousand years later, so I don't think I succeeded."

Smoke was coming out of Beryl's ears.

"Beryl, are you okay?" asked Jadeite. "What's my mission?"

Queen Beryl rubbed her head. "Your mission is to steal the Imperium Silver Crystal from the Tokyo Museum of Art!"

Jadeite gasped again and stood up. "You mean the Silver Imperium Crystal is in a museum?!"

"Well… I'm not quite sure if it's the crystal we're after or not, but it is silver, and it is imperial, which are the two requirements."

"You can count on me, professor!" promised Jadeite.

"Wait, Jadeite-" began Beryl, but he was gone.


Jadeite pranced into the museum at night hours.

There were two guards blocking the door.

"Outta my way!" yelled Jadeite. He made a sort of J-shape with his arms and they fell asleep.

"That's a useful attack," he said to himself.

He pranced up to the crystal and smashed open the glass.

The alarm was triggered, and the floor dropped out from under him, dropping him in a pit of sharks.

He tried to fly out but the door closed.

He hovered above the shark tank for eight hours until he ran out of energy and dropped like a stone.

He was severely eaten and barely teleported out with his life.

Jadeite limped towards his room to throw in the towel for the night.

Nephrite was camping the soda machine, waiting for someone to come and refill it. "Where is that guy that refills it?" he wondered.

Suddenly Jadeite walked by, and Nephrite noticed that he looked like a puzzle that was missing several pieces.

"Jed, didn't you used to have limbs?" he asked concerned.

Jadeite turned to answer, but passed out.

"Drat," said Nephrite.

He was going to help Jed to his space, but he had to camp the soda machine.

A couple hours later Jadeite came to and was still in the same spot he had passed out.

"Welcome back," said Nephrite. "He should be here any minute!"

"Who?" asked Jed.

"Nevermind," barked Nephrite. "Leave me alone!"

Jadeite continued to his room and sat down on his thinking chair.

He thought and he thought and he thought. "How will I get that crystal? I can't do this alone!"

Jadeite pulled out his black notepad of phone numbers. "It's time to bring back the dream team."


Jadeite entered Crown Arcade in an overcoat with sunglasses.

He sat down at his table alone.

Sitting alone at the table across from him was none other than Rei's grandpa.

The rest of the team was gathered in different booths.

Without turning to any of them, Jed made a gesture with two of his fingers. He then nodded.

Grandpa nodded back.

"We'll meet at 2 o'clock then," said Grandpa.

They all went their separate ways.


It was 2 am, and they gathered in a circle on the roof of the museum and examined Jed's blue prints.

"How'd you get that?" asked Melvin.

"I drew them from memory. They might not be to scale."

"Well," began Diana the baby cat. "I think we should form a-"

"Can it," said Jadeite. He backhanded her and she was crippled. Jadeite knew this would be no good, since he needed her expertise, so he healed her.

"Woah, nice ability," commented Diana.

Jed backhanded her but didn't revive her this time.

"We all need codenames," he stated.

"OOOO, I know mine!" volunteered Melvin.

"NO!" shouted Jadeite. "I make the codenames. Alright, Grandpa. You'll be 'Young One.' Melvin. You'll be 'Nerd Boy.' Diana, we'll call you 'Mittens.' Now Motoki. For you it'll just be 'Motoki.'"

"Aww man," said Motoki sadly.

"Motoki's sis. You'll be 'Papa Bear.' Shingo. You'll be 'Aluminum Siren.' And last, but certainly not least, Taiki's forehead. We'll call you 'T-Head.'"

"What about you?" asked Melvin.

"I'll be Jadeito-sama," explained Jadeite.

"Why are you adding an 'o' at the end?" asked Shingo. "Are you retarded?"

"Do you want a face full of fist?" asked Jed.

"I'll call Kenji on you!" threatened Shingo.

"Ooo, you're scarin' me!" mocked Jadeite. "However, I know that Kenji is playing cards with Beryl and Kunzite right now, maybe even Prince Endarien."

"Endarien?" asked Shingo. "Make up your mind if this is sub or dub!"

"Can it, Sammy!" warned Jadeite. "Now, here's the plan."

Jadeite explained the plan.

"Good plan," commented Grandpa.

"Thanks," said Jadeite. "Now that you all understand, here's your walkie talkies."

"How come we're not getting any?" asked Motoki.

"You won't need them," promised Jed. "It would just be a waste to give you some, considering your roll."

Motoki didn't like the sound of this, but was too shy to speak up.


Motoki, Motoki's sister, Shingo, and Taiki's forehead all walked through the front door and pulled out their guns.

"Alright guys, we don't want to trigger any alarms, so watch out for the red lines!" explained Motoki.

Once they had reached the center of the museum, Jadeite pulled the fire alarm, and the security guards quickly showed up and caught the four bandits red-handed.

"What?!" cried Shingo. "We were set up!"

"Why'd you do that, Jadeite?" asked Grandpa.

"That's Jadeito-sama, Young One," reminded Jadeite. "And they were the decoys. The museum will send the whole staff after them once I use my powers to send a stray bullet flying, and that's when we'll make our move!"

"Good idea," said Grandpa, pulling his ski mask over his face.

Jadeite threw his stray bullet, and the security guards panicked and started throwing blows.

"No!" cried Motoki's sister. "We'll go to jail willingly!"

"It's too late for that, Papa Bear," said Motoki. He threw a wild right hook at the guards, taking one out.

But three others took his place, and tackled down Motoki to the floor.

"Onii-chan!" yelled Motoki's sister. Motoki's sister got slugged in the chops, and then she threw herself at the guards as self-defense.

But they got her in a full nelson, and one of them threw punches at her exposed torso.

She died.

"Papa Bear down!" yelled Jadeite, who was in there watching.

Shingo knew this was goodbye, and tried to escape. He was light and small, so he boosted his speed stat and zipped under the guards' legs.

But as he was sliding under one of their legs, they closed their legs right on his neck, and pile-drove him into the ground. They pummeled him into the floor.

T-Head observed his surroundings. He saw that Motoki was still fighting, but he was fighting a losing battle, and was receiving punches from all angles.

"THIS IS FOR KAKYUU!" howled T-Head. He charged into the pack, knowing that this was a suicide move. He threw a head-butt taking out ten guards, and then took his own life.

The guards quickly finished Motoki soon after.

"Well that's the end of that," said Jadeite. He put all the guards to sleep.

"Alright, time to get that crystal!"

Diana was sobbing. "Why did you let them all die?"

"They were the diversion," explained Jadeite.

"Where's Nerd Boy?" asked Grandpa.

"He's currently hacking into the security software from a van outside," said Jadeite. "The defenses should be off in no time."

Suddenly Diana's walkie talkie went off. "Nerd Boy to Mittens! Over!"

"Nerd Boy?" asked Diana. "Is that you?"

"Yes," said Melvin. "I have succeeded."

"Good job," said Diana.

"Now, I just need to-"

There was tap on Melvin's window. He rolled it down.

"Excuse me sir, why are you in this empty parking lot in a strange van at 2am?"

Melvin knew he was done for, and threw himself into the technology box, causing it to explode.

"Sir, what was that?" asked the cop.

Melvin opened the back door and made a run for it.

However, Melvin was not the fittest kid in school, and was quickly tackled down.

"HEEEELP!" yelled Melvin into the walkie talkie.

All Jadeite could hear was rustling and Melvin's shrieks. Then it went silent.

"It seems one of ours has been captured," said Jadeite sadly. "Nerd Boy will be missed. Now then, we have to get rid of the security cameras ourselves, since Nerd Boy suffered a premature death before he could disable them."

"Leave it to me!" said Diana the Specialist.

"Okay Mittens, give it a go," decided Jadeite.

Diana leapt into Grandpa's palm, and he tossed her up to the first security camera.

She nibbled down the wire until it was no more.

"Good work!" said Jed.

Diana swung from the gnawed cord to the next one, and soon had taken down all the cameras.

"Well done," commended Jadeite.

They entered the room with the crystal.

"Young One, guard the door in case any stray guards enter," said Jadeite.

Grandpa nodded.

"Now listen Mittens. If we lift the glass, an alarm will sound. That's why we need to dig down from the ceiling and saw a hole in the top of the case. Then we reach in and snatch it!"

"Got it!" said Diana.

Jadeite threw a grappling hook, and then sawed a hole into the ceiling and climbed up. He sawed another one above the crystal, and lowered himself slowly on a rope.

He took out his laser pen, and made a perfect circle in the glass. No alarms went off, and the trap door did not open.

"Go on in, Mittens!"

Diana skittered down the rope Jed was dangling from, and leapt in the box.

She tried to fit the crystal in her mouth but it was too big.

She got it between her two back paws, and then climbed back up the rope.

"Wowee!" said Jed. "This actually worked! Wait a minute, if Mittens is there, and Young One's over there, and Nerd Boy's dead, then who's holding the rope?!"

Jadeite fell on top of the crystal exhibit, shattering the glass and setting off a thousand alarms. The floor dropped out all around the crystal's case, but Jadeite made a wild leap from the case to the other side of the room.

A steel wall started to drop in front of the door. Jadeite knew he could never make it out in time. "NO!" he cried. "WE WERE SO CLOSE!"

That's when Young One ripped off his shirt and flexed his muscles.

As the steel wall was falling, Grandpa lifted his arms and held it up.

He was starting to sweat. "I can't hold this up forever."

Jed slid under the door with no injuries.

Grandpa threw the door up and leapt out, however it cut off the bottom of his shoe when it slammed shut.

"NO!" he yelled. "That was a new pair!"

"Wait a minute," realized Jadeite. "I can teleport!"

"Sweet!" exclaimed Diana. "Here's the crystal, teleport us all out!"

"I'm sorry but I don't have enough energy left to teleport both of you. I can only take one."

Jadeite placed his hand on Grandpa's shiny bulbous noggin.

"WHAT?!" cried Diana. "But I'm so little! Surely it couldn't cost that much energy to teleport me!"

"Sorry but my hands are tied," said Jadeite sadly.

He threw Diana across the room and teleported away.

Diana was soon discovered and imprisoned in a bottle.


"QUEEN BERYL!" howled Jadeite, appearing with Grandpa.

"Oh hey Grandpa," said Kenji.

Grandpa hissed at him.

As Jadeite suspected, Beryl was still in the middle of her card game with Kenji and Prince Endarien.

"Huh, no Kunzite?" asked Jed.

"No," said Beryl. "He doesn't like my circle of friends so I didn't invite him."

"Ah," said Jadeite. "Anyway I got the Silver Crystal!"

"HOT DAWGY!" yelled Beryl. She took out a kaleidoscope and looked through it at the crystal.

"Mmm, pretty colors," she said. "But this crystal is just a huge diamond. No magic whatsoever."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" howled Jadeite. He was okay in a few seconds.

"At least we got to get the team together one last time!" said Jadeite with a smile. "Because I don't think they're gonna wanna join me next time."

"They will," stated Grandpa, patting him on the shoulder. "The mission was a success, and at the end of the day, that's all they really wanted."

"I agree," said Jadeite.

Beryl dealt him and Grandpa a hand of cards.

Zoisite appeared suddenly.

Everyone turned to him.

"Hey guys," he said awkwardly. "I came here to get one line in this chapter, but I don't really remember what I was going to say."
