baby-bunnygurl: I'm sorry, I wish I could give you the couple you want, since that is also one of my favorites, but the other readers voted on Heero and it's too late. Maybe in the future I\'ll write a quatre/ami pairing. Thanks for reviewing!

Cassie-bear01: Thanks!

Lady Light: Yes, poor sukie.... Well, thanks for the review!

anon: Thanks, and Sukie was like many others before her in the sailor moon series corrupted by evil. When she saw the little girl was gonna die, she realized she cared and saved her. Also, the fact that none of the children were harmed in the zone was to show that Sukie was too good to put them in more danger. Thanks for reviewing :)

NickeyWhite2: Thanks for reviewing!

Kaiya: Thanks, and your right, poor wufei....As always, thanks for your review!

Mistress of Ice: Thanks a lot, and I will!

Chapter 12
_____________

-This is a surprise challenge. Be ready, this challenge will go on for two days whenever we decide to spring it-

She folded the piece of paper up and put in her pocket.

She steadied her breaths, and made sure her face looked normal before helping the kids get ready to go home. They had all suddenly awoken, whatever evil spell put on them done.

"You guys had an extended nap today. Let's get ready," she said. Some yawned, others rubbed their eyes and nodded.

She helped them put on their coats and their parents came. 20 minutes later she left.

====================================================================

She thought on her way home. Had she made a mistake? Could the mess have been avoided?

Tears brimmed her eyes. If Usagi had been there, she would have tried to see the good in Sukie. Sukie could have been spared. Then Usagi would have healed her. Sukie could have been good. Ami knew she was truly good from the minute she caught the child.

Only someone truly evil would have let the girl die.

All she knew was that Tavia was a cold- hearted killer, and unlike Sukie, there was no hope for her. She had yet to take a good look at Kin, who seemed to be a follower. Then again, Kin had made no movement to save the girl.

She seriously had to toughen up.

She entered the school from the main doors. The gundam pilots stoof there, waiting.

"Let's talk in the courtyard," she said, walking by them. As soon as they got out there, Ami found a table, and they all sat down.

"Explain yourself, what are you doing at this school. I've never heard of Sailor anything around here," Wufei said. Ami's eyes were narrowed in thought. She looked around. The courtyard was deserted.

"Alright, Heero- first of all, I'm not a spy. Those anonomous messages you received were probably from my enemy. I'm not from around here though," she paused, trying to find a way to word it.

"Like....your from Japan," Duo said.

"Well, Kind of," she answered.

"Kind of," Quatre repeated.

"I'm from a different demension. I'm here on a mission to find a jewel of power, but along the way, Pluto was captured, and now I have to complete 4 challenges to save her-," she was interrupted.

"Pluto as in Setsuna," Trowa said.

Ami nodded.

"So, you have these powers that you use to fight," Heero said.

"Yes, I get my powers from my planet, Mercury. Pluto gets hers from her planet."

Heero started to speak again, but was cut off when Tamera came up behind Ami.

"Hey Ami, you feeling ok now," Tamera said.

Ami turned to Tamera. Eyes that had been like ice directed towards them turned into bright blue eyes.

"Yes, I am. Thankyou for taking the time to help me out," she told her with a smile.

"It's nothing. Oh, by the way, they're showing that history movie about the colonies you told me you wanted to see in the auditorium, come watch with me," Tamera said.

"Alright, bye," she told the boys jumping up and following Tamera.

"What just happened," asked Duo.

The others shrugged and left.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One hour later Ami left back to her room.

Her computer went off.

Once, Twice, 3 times.

Several attacks?

She picked it up, and scanned. There were several people being attacked in the auditorium. She transformed, jumped out the window, and ran in through the main doors.

Going into the auditorium, she saw that several people were lying on the floor, unconsious after being checked.

Duo and Wufei were some of them. She knew that Heero, Quatre, and Trowa were in the library.

There was a youma doing it quickly, checking and then knocking them unconsious when finding nothing.

"Shine Aqua Illusion," she yelled, firing at the youma.

It looked up at her.

"Oh, it's the Mercury Scout. I've heard a great deal about you," it snarled.

It started throwing attack and attack at her, and she dodged all of them, rolling to her side or quickly dropping to the floor.

It threw another at her and before she could recover, it hit her, knocking her to the floor.

She took a deep breath and started to get up, but another attack hit her, then another, and another.

She struggled to her feet.

A larger attack rushed at her. There was no way that would miss. She closed her eyes, and felt herself being grabbed and shoved out of the way. She opened her eyes. Heero stood next to her.

"I need you here so you can save my friends," he said with a smirk.

She nodded and smiled in gratitude. She turned to the youma.
"Merury Ice Bubbles Freeze!"

The youma was hit. It staggered back a step. She continued. She formed a ball of water in her hand which took the shape of a harp.

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"

It was destroyed. She sighed and detransformed. Her and Heero ran over to check on Wufei and Duo. They were fine. Quatre and Trowa joined them to help out. Everyone in the auditorium started to wake up.

Ami left. Heero had saved her...again. Was he finally starting to warm up to her? Only time would tell....

She laid down and fell asleep.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the nega force....

Setsuna was afcourse, no longer unconsious.

She looked around. Her hands and legs were chained with a sort of magic, and she was unable to break free.

She pulled for the millionth time on her chains. Nothing.

She could have just used her garnet rod to escape, but it was chained up next to her. All she could do was just barely tap the handle to see what was going on and send messsges.

For instance, she had been sending messages to Trowa in his dreams, but the messages were hard to decipher, and Trowa forgot most of what he did decipher once he woke up.

She tried again.

'Trowa, you @&# @%$ %$# %&$#@ @#$&&!#&'

She was sure he didn't understand though. Maybe certain events would help him...
______________________________________________________________________________________________

Ami woke up the next morning and realized she had classes. She knew she had to be prepared for the challenge, but she really couldn't risk blowing her cover.

She got her books. Before she enetered her classroom, her math teacher grabbed her arm.

"Ami, can I speak to you for a minute," she asked. Ami nodded. She pulled her aside.

"Listen Ami, you've been pulling a 50% in my class. That is a big drop. You used to be my top student. I think you had a 100%. You know the material, but you haven't been doing any of your work.
I spoke to the other teachers, it's the same."

"I'm sorry miss, I've been pre-occupied lately," she said.

"By what," the teacher asked. Ami thought and tried to come up with a good answer. She didn't like lying, but then again, she lied to her mother everyday. Her identity in this demension was a lie.

"A lot of things," she answered. The bell rang. Ami sighed in relief.

"My class is starting, I gotta go, bye," she said, dashing off.

Classes went normally.

Untill she heard the P.A system come on.

"Ami Mizuno, to the office," a low voice said. Her teacher nodded for her to go. Ami momentarilly froze. That voice did not belong to the secretary or the principle. But it did sound familiar. A little too familiar.

'The challenge is right now,' she realized.

Now they were controling her school.

Sorry it's so short. The next chapter will be much longer.
