Chapter 14
_______________________________________________________________________________________
As soon as she finished patching herself up, using mostly liquid band aids because she knew
her injuries would be invisible to see by the next day. After most battles, her skin looked fine, untouched, but she ussually felt the physical pain for days after.
At least no one would be able to tell she was injured.
The worst injury she had was on her side. That was the only one she would keep wrapped. It
was very deep, so the cut would still be visable for at least 2 days.
She fell asleep. The next day, she was awoken abruptly by a crash. She shot up in her bed.
The vas holding lillies next to her bed was on the floor-shattered.
She looked around. She felt a sharp pain in her neck. She placed her hand on her neck. Covered
in blood.
Tavia appeared before her, smirking and holding a piece of the shattered vas in her hand.
"Whats wrong Mercury," she asked in an innocent voice. Still slightly confused, she looked over at
the clock.
7:00.
"I'm going to make this quick. You do realize we know your identity. I could kill you. I could kill your family, your friends, you do realize that."
She was greeted by silent. This caused Tavia to laugh.
"I could just kill you now- but then again, torture seems like so much more fun. Don't you agree," Tavia asked.
Again, no answer.
"I do like to here people's tortured screams, but what I enjoy more are the screams of my enemies when we kill off everyone they care for. What is it called? Oh yes- attacking the heart," continued Tavia, still chuckling as she spoke.
She crouched down next to Ami, getting close to ear.
"And let me warn you- in the nega force, we don't sleep."
Tavia gave a final laugh and disapeared.
She sent one final blow of wind as she dissapeared. The book shelf fell over, her door flew open, and the snow globe on her fell and broke in half.
Someone walked in through the open door. There was a pause.
"Heero, come here!"
She reconized the voice as Quatre's. She was glad she had fallen asleep in her clothes, or she would have been pretty embarrased.
She started to climb out of her bed and make her way acroos the room.
"Miss Ami, what happened in here? Why are you out of bed? Where are your injuries," He ended in confusion.
She shook her head.
"I told you I was a fast healer."
Heero walked into the room. He took the scene in for a minute before pointing to Ami's neck.
She placed her hand on her neck, and remembered that Tavia had cut her. Blood leaked down her neck.
"I guess I better patch that up," she said, heading for the first aid kit.
"Miss Ami, you've probably lost a lot of blood already. You never answered my question, what happened in here," Quatre insisted.
Ami paused when she heard a sound. A small scream. She put down the cotton swab she was about to place on her neck, and ran towards the sound. Heero and Quatre soundlessly followed.
The room across the hall-Tamera.
She threw open the door. Tamera lay unconsious on the floor. Tavia stood next to her.
"Stop! You already searched her for the jewel!" Ami knew her voice was practically a screech.
"You still don't get, do you Mercury. Her life means nothing to me. I could blow up a planet filled with people and I wouldn't care! It's your foolish heart! The thing that makes every human weak. If you and your scouts were more like us, then you could at least be evenly matched."
"If my heart is my only weakness then I don't think I'm doing that bad," Ami snapped, pulling Tamera away from Tavia and handing her to Quatre.
"Take her to the hospital wing."
"No, no, don't leave," Tavia said in a babyish voice. She appeared next to the 2 boys, standing behind them.
"How would you suppose I kill them Mercury?"
She traced her hand down Heero's neck. He looked very tense.
"Should I break his neck, or would you prefer I ripped him into pieces instead," she said, a small smile coming to her face.
"Or maybe I should keep him for myself," she continued, recieving no answer," he is kind of cute anyways."
This for some reason made Ami really angry.
Ami opened her mouth to say something, and stopped.
"Tavia, come back to the negaforce. Now is not the time to face off with the Mercury scout. We have too much planning to do."
"L-Lord Jinuy. But- I was just about to kill-" started Tavia.
"I don't care who you kill later, come back now," The voice said again. She nodded.
"It's not over Ami. You'll die, you, your family, and all the other scouts will die!"
She jumped backwards strait into a portal.
Ami frowned.
"Let's get her to the hospital wing of the school."
They carried her there.
"Oh, another attack. Lay her down there- what happened to your neck dear," the nurse turned to her.
"I cut it on a piece of...glass. The vas next to my bed broke, and I was cleaning it up." Not quite a lie. then again, Ami found she had gotten quite good at it.
The nurse patched her neck up.
She said Tamera would be fine in a day or so. They left silently.
They walked outside for some fresh air.
Duo, Trowa, and Wufei spotted them and joined them.
"Wow, Ami, I can't believe that all your injuries are completely healed," Duo noted.
She was silent for a minute, before spoting a bench. She edged over to it and painfully brought herself to sit down. Her side was especially bothering her.
"To be honest, they're not. It just gets covered up by the skin."
"So- it's like you still have the injuries pain, but it's not visible?"
"Exactly Duo."
"Wow, I should like be a doctor or something," Duo said getting the same goofy grin on his face.
"Please- no," Trowa said dramaticlly.
Everyone sweat dropped.
"Maybe being a doctor isn't the best career choice for you," Ami said gingerly.
All this time, Heero had been silent. Ami looked towards him. He had been staring at her, she knew because when she looked up he quickly put his head down.
"Well- I uh, am gonna have class," she said. She stood up.
"Alright, bye Ami," Quatre said.
"Bye."
Once she was in her room, she started gathering her books.
A flash of light blocked her field of vision for a minute. Pluto appeared before her.
"Hi pluto, whats wrong," Ami asked.
"I've been watching your battles, and the scouts battles, and have come up with a solution to your problems. You ussually can't dodge attacks because of your speed.
The planet Mercury had it's own gaurdian, either hermes or Mercury, which ever you want to call him. Since your planet is gaurdian was the messanger of the gods, known for his speed, we have decided to give you a power upgrade, powers you would not have developed for another 2 year from now.
It will leave you drained after battle, but you guys all really need it. Your speed should increase amazingly," Pluto said.
"Are the others going to recieve this as well?"
"Yes, they will need it for the upcoming battle in a few weeks. Rei's physcic abilities will increase so that she can sence an evil presence before it is even close, and get the evil out of anyone orriginally good with just the wave of a hand.
Makato's strength will triple. She is already very strong, so it might be difficult to even imagine the strength she will have.
Minako's sense as the goddess of love will increase. Anything to do with matters of the heart she will know of. It doesn't even have to be love. Her and Rei's powers can somehow work as a team. Minako will be able to sense the good or evil in there hearts, and Rei will be able to free them from the evil.
Usagi will gain two attacks, so that her powers do not always have to finish the monsters, and she can fight along with you.
"The outers will also gain powers, although not like you. Their current attacks will be much more powerful," Pluto took a breath.
"And, on top of all that, you will all gain another attack. We need every possible resourse necessary to win this war. I cannot however, guarantee when your new attack will appear. It will most likely show up at a time of desperation. For now, you will have your speed. Transform and try it."
Ami nodded. She transformed. Pluto threw a light blew orb at her. It hit her tiara, and it glowed brightly.
When the light dissapeared, she bassiaclly felt the same. She walked back to where Pluto was, and found herself there as soon as she thought she had only taken a step.
"Wow. But I can hardly control it," Ami said.
"I know, I will show you how quickly, but I warn you. The powers I gave you took you 2 whole years to perfect. Do not be reckless Ami," Pluto warned.
"Don't worry, I mean, how bad can being tired after I use it be?"
"Well, imagine how tired you are after an all night battle, and double it. If you use your powers too much, you'll have difficulty standing and want to sleep all day," Pluto said.
Ami nodded again.
"Alright."
Pluto spent about an hour teaching Ami how to control her speed. Ami could now walk normally without going inhumanly fast, and only had to think of going fast and she would.
Afcourse, she was only at her top speed when she was transformed. When she wasn't, she was much faster. But to move like a blur, she had to be transformed.
Ami detransformed. She looked at her watch.
"I've already missed two of my classes!"
Pluto smiled.
"Alright Ami, but I would suggest you take a break for a while, and good luck finding the jewel."
"Thanks Pluto, take care."
Pluto dissapeared. Ami was about to run around and pick up her books when she stopped. She sat down. She was suddenly extremly tired.
Now she understood. She forced herself to stand up and grab her books. She may have been tired, but if she missed any more school her cover would be blown.
"Me, take a break. Very funny," she said to herself as she walked out her door.
As she walked though, she realized she was growing more and more tired with every step. She forced herself to keep walking. As she turned the corner, she ran into someone.
"Hey, I thought you left for class over 2 hours ago," Heero said, in his ussual monotone.
Ami opened her mouth to say something, and stopped. She started feeling a little dizzy. Maybe she should have taken a break.
"Ami," a voice said. But it sounded far away.
First step to fainting, losing your hearing. Now if she could just remember what you were supposed to do to stop yourself from fainting.....
She felt herself hit the floor and all went black.

Well? Please Review! No flames Please! Sorry it wasn't as long as the last. It's only a little shorter though. I'll have a chapter out for the Catholic Easter, and then one for the orthodox easter(one week later). I hope there arem't spelling or grammer mistakes!
