Me: Hey everybody! Sorry for the wait, it's V's fate, all her fate.

Violentdelight: *cough*dew'sfault*cough*

Me: Pardon?

Violentdelight: I'll write the disclaimer:

Disclaimer: Plot and Original Characters belong to Dew, and me. Everything else belongs to their respective owners.

Skyprincess:

Me: Interesting pairing….hmm….wait, I made George freaky? Heehee..opps.

Violentdelight: Dew, Dew, Dew….*shakes head sadly*

Makoto Almasy:

Me: Pansy is really annoying! Hmm…making Makoto punch Pansy? Love the idea!

Violentdelight: Malfoy is a fool, he should've asked Makoto to the ball. Are you going to-

Me: Quiet, Secret-giver-awayer!

Violentdelight: Who me? *whistles innocently*

JpandS:

Me: Yay you like it! Sorry that I didn't update very soon…bad me!

Violentdelight: I tried to get to her write, but noooo she had to play games and had homework instead.

Me: I had a lot of homework!

Violentdelight: *cough*yaright*cough*

Tigeress Moon:

Me: You may have the right feeling!

Violentdelight: Now who's giving away the plot?

D-chan:

Me: Since you wrote in your story that somebody has been stealing your flames and posting them up other people's stories, I believe it. Whoever is stealing flames and posting them on other peoples stories should be stopped, it not only is mean to the person whose story their bad-mouthing, but it also hurts the original writer's reputation!

Violentdelight:  Though I have to say, your reviews are pretty harsh. Try writing critiques; they help the author more, instead of just damaging their feelings.

Girl of darkness

Me: Awww…^-^ Thank-you! Hear that V? My story's on a fav list!

Violentdelight: *sniff* Does anybody read my stories? They're not that hard to read.

Me: *cough* They're originally written. Very well done and nice…but fairly original. And slightly hard to read.

Violentdelight: Only adds to their charm!

Me: -_-"

Lady Wolf Moon, Kara, Kenoko:

Me: You're back! ^-^

Violentdelight: 5 days away? *shudder* The torture.

Me: Poor U! Glad your back.

Sara

Me: Don't worry, everything will work out in the end…. maybe….

Violentdelight: Dew, that was pathetic.

Me: -_-" Thanks a lot.

Violentdelight: ^-^ Your welcome!

Chapter 9: Ritorni Nemici

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ami held out a paper with some ink plots in it, showing it to the group of reluctant teens she had gathered to help with her experiment.

"Come on, it's just an experiment. Now." Ami said, moving towards George.

"What do you see?" Ami asked, holding up the paper in front of George's face.

George stared with great concentration at the ink spots, a clear image forming in his mind.

"I see fire…I see….I see….a fire roasting chocolate covered Blott's bean in a seasoned dressing?" George looked slightly bewildered at his words. "Hey! That would be a great idea for a joke!"

The some laughed at George's antics, while others merely smiled.

"Okay, now…Raye, what do you see?"

Raye peered into the ink spots, her eyes widening slightly at her image.

"I see…I see…a clown?" Raye shook her head before looking back. "A clown. I see a clown. That's weird...ug, I hate most clowns." Raye said, showing others the clown.

George pouted at this but then brightened up.

"Since you hate most clowns, and I am technically not a clown you technically don't hate me, right?"

"……"

"I don't really get it…but okay!" Minako said cheerfully, while moving closer to the ink-splattered paper.

"Hmm….I see a  potion. Wow, it looks like on of those potions Professor Roye is making us do. Cool!" Minako said, beaming at Dean smiled at her in return.

"Alrighty then! Terry, your turn." Ami said, placing the picture in front of Terry.

"Alright….well…I see a lake surrounded by a field….and a quidditch match…see there are the little quidditch players, and a snitch." Terry said, pointing to various different inkblots.

"You turn Wood." Ami said, moving the paper over to Wood, who they managed to convince to join them for their little game.

"Alright…well….I see…letters." Wood said simply, expecting Ami to move the picture away. She didn't.

"What letters?" Ami said, unmoving.

"Well….I see a few words in Occitan, and Latin, and I think I see a little Quenya. Let's see…. Playful Fire…Timeless Water…. Loving Oceans, and Thundering Death." Wood said. Immediately Edith moved over, (who they also convinced to join their game) to see the paper for herself.

"Oh! I see it! So, you know Occitan and Quenya?" Edith asked, turning to Wood, who was slightly blushing as all the eyes turned on him.

"A bit, I liked the language so I decided to study it." Wood said modestly.

Edith gave him a warm smile, before suddenly blushing and turning away…much to the amusement of the rest of the group.

"Ok, Makoto, what do you see?" Ami asked, moving the paper over to Makoto.

Makoto's eyes burrowed into the paper…her eyes glazed over and her mouth opened, speaking in a monotone voice.

"I see…. flames…. darkness…. death…. chaos…Saturn and Jupiter…Voldemert." Makoto's body falling into a trance as she continued to list the dark and deadly.

"Makoto, wake up…this isn't funny." Ami said, pushing the picture away and moving her hand in front of Makoto's face, waving her hand rapidly.

Everyone watched with growing anxiety as Makoto's trance continued, shivers of fear enveloping them.

"Death…. destruction…chaos…. pain…. tears…. sadness…." Another voice said, the voice mingling with Makoto's, both never wavering as they continued to list.

"Adi!" Minako exclaimed, the Adramyttium collapsed, her voice never wavering as she continued to list with Makoto her vision.

Edith rushed over to her sister's side as words began spilling forth from her tongue, which no one could understand except for Edith and Wood.

"She's speaking in Quenya, I didn't even know she knew that language!" Edith said worried.

Makoto and Adi continued to chant, their words seemed to weave a spell that no one could truly see or feel, but was sensed by all in the room.

"We have to get them to Dumbledore." Ami said, watching motionless as the two continued their disturbing speech.

"NOW!" Edith shouted, picking up her sister, breaking the motionless group into a flurry of action. Wood quickly followed suit and picked up Makoto, and the whole gang hurried over to Dumbledore, the traced girls still reciting words of darkness.

Screaming for the Headmaster, the group yelled as they ran through the castle, catching no site of the Headmaster.

"Yes?"

Dumbledore stood in front of them, watching surprised as a whole group of young people came to him, shouting.

Spotting the problem immediately, he quickly whipped out his wand and took the enveloped the two girls in magic, and moved them out of the arms of Edith and Wood and into his office.

"Miss Mizuni, Miss Aino, and Miss Hino are the only ones to follow me, the rest may leave." Dumbledore said, before disappearing into his office without waiting for a response.
The group seemed to make a unanimous decision to wait, while the three girl walked quickly into the office.

Makoto and Adramyttium were moving around, their eyes moving wildly in all directions, glazed over.

"What's happening?" Minako asked, frightened. Dumbledore merely looked at the two girls grimly.

"I don't know." He finally admitted. The girl's chanting made the atmosphere feel cold and dark.

Raye's eyes turned cold. The presence of darkness was in this room. Sitting down on the floor, Raye began to meditate, picturing the Flame in front of her, guiding her way to discover what was wrong.

Ami transformed quickly, and took out her Mercury computer, quickly making scans and analysing the situation, while Minako had gone back outside to dispel the group and somehow convince them that it was just a vision thing and the girls would be alright and ready to be seen in the following morning.

"Cold…. so…cold…" Makoto whispered, her chant breaking slightly as she began to shiver uncontrollably.

"Her body temperature has lowered ten degrees Celsius! We have to warm her up." Ami said urgently, alarmed by her readings.

"Fire! I call on you now, Come to my aid!" Raye called out, her eyes unnaturally red with flames seeming to burst from them. A flame flicker form her hand and spread towards the girls, still hovering in mid-air thanks for Dumbledore's magic. The fire flickered around and over the girls, close, but not close enough to cause them any real harm.

"Scouts…." Adramyttium said, her body suddenly sitting up and fell out of Dumbledore's spell, falling through the flames untouched, landing cat-like on the ground.

"So…. we meet again…." Adramyttium said, her eyes flaring a metallic orange colour, her voice unnatural.

"She's possessed! I can't get into her mind, it blocked somehow!" Raye said, straining against the power radiating from the small form, mocking them.  

"Why, Sailor Mars, what an astute idea! Me, a possessor hmm…I rather like the sound of that." Adramyttium laughed coldly, moving towards the chanting Makoto.

"This wasn't in my plan really," Adi said, her voice thick and sugary and she moved towards Makoto, the rest of the scouts suddenly finding themselves immobile.

"But, as long as I'm here, I might as well exterminate you, starting the this trouble-maker!" Adi said, her hands glowing with negative energy as she moved to choke the helpless Makoto.

Suddenly the hand stopped and began flickering with the light. The scouts watched confused as Adi fell to the ground, struggling, and her eyes open and white as the pupil dilated to a mere shrivel.

Makoto's eyes flew open, and she fell through the flames untouched as well. Landing gracefully on the ground.

"Adi, Adi, wake up." Makoto said, moving towards the motionless form.

"Raye?"

"It's gone, I can't find it anymore." Raye said, her mind probing for the negative energy, which suddenly vanished.

Minako walked over to Dumbledore, who was pale, and was obviously strained from the events.

Mercury typed into the computer, running scans over the motionless girl.

"It's gone. Nothing left except for traces of negative energy, which means one thing." Mercury said, her eyes closed from weariness.

"The negaverse is back?" Minako asked.

Makoto stood up, holding Adi up. 

"Perhaps…but whoever they are, they know who we are, and they know where we are, and who our friends are." Makoto said grimly.

"It stands to reason that if that demon thing comes back, it would take over Adi again, so we better keep an eye on her." Minako said, eyeing Adi with distrustful eyes.

"Nothing else is going to be accomplished here tonight, I would suggest you take Miss Avalon-Fox over to the infirmary and have Madam Hooch take a look at her. The rest of you should go to bed and rest. Today was…trying." Dumbledore said, putting his office into order as the scouts quietly left. 

"What worries me is, what id Adi remembers?" Ami said, staring at the sleeping girl.
The group remained silent as they gave Adi over to the nurse and left for their dorm room, mentally exhausted.
