Michiru jumped from roof to roof in the dark of the night. Serenity had decided to lay off their search till night, when most of Tokyo would be sleeping. Her powers had increased with the addition of Mars' and Tuxedo Kamen's powers. Michiru sighed. Where could Ami be at this hour? She paused for rest on the ledge of a building. A sudden push toppled her over the edge.
"YOU CAN'T GET ME!" Ami's scream echoed in the dark of the night. Sailor Neptune just calmly turned her body into a diving position, tumbled, and landed safely on her feet.
"Deep SUBMERGE!" Neptune pointed her hands towards the ground. The attack pushed her above the ledge from which she fell. She did a flip and landed there. Ami gasped and turned around. She started to run to the door that would lead her to her apartment. Neptune ran after her. "Oh no you don't, coward!"
With that, Neptune kicked Ami's back, causing the navy haired girl to topple over.
"Mercury crystal power, make-up!" Ami turned into Sailor Mercury in a flash of blue light. She backed away. "You won't get me like you got Rei and Mamoru!! Mercury bubbles BLAST!"
A thick layer of mist surrounded Neptune, obscuring her view. Neptune tried to get out, but the entire rooftop was covered with the freezing water droplets. When the mist cleared, Mercury was nowhere in sight. Neptune sighed. She jumped from rooftop to rooftop again, in search of the stubborn senshi of ice. (Ami is the senshi of ice in this fic, not water. Neptune is the senshi of water here.)
Makoto ran around the park, trying to find her blue-haired exfriend. She swung onto a tree, searching for movement. When something stirred in the bushes, Makoto yelled an "AHA!" and tackled the figure crouching in there.
"Saturn?!?" Jupiter exclaimed. She let go of the senshi of death. "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for Ami," Hotaru had a look on her face that said, "DUH!". She rolled her eyes. "So. Any sign of her yet?"
A scream interrupted their conversation. A battered Sailor Mercury ran towards them, chased by Venus and Uranus. Neptune ran a distance behind them. Jupiter blocked Mercury's path. Saturn joined her. Mercury looked frantically for an escape route, but she was completely surrounded.
"You can't get my powers!" Mercury screamed. She struggled against the barrier of clasped hands. "They're MINE!!"
"Face it, bitch," Neptune glared at the ice senshi. "You're done with."
"Sailor Transport!"
The six senshi appeared inside the Outers' house. Everyone de-transformed into their civilian forms, all except Mercury.
"Mako-chan," Hotaru sighed. "Get Serenity. By the snores I'm hearing, she should be upstairs in my room sleeping." "Be right back," Makoto ran upstairs and came back carrying a sleeping Serenity. Usagi hadn't bothered to transform back to her civilian form. "Damn, she so much lighter than before. I guess she hasn't been eating as much."
"True. I thought she went anorexic a few days back. She wouldn't eat anything."
"All because of this blue bitch!" Makoto gently shook Serenity. Serenity opened her eyes groggily. "Come on, milady, time to wake up! We brought Ami."
"Uuuggghhh," Usagi groaned loudly. "Already time to get up? Mercury? What the hell are you doing here?"
"Serenity, milady," Mercury bowed. "Please, don't take away my powers. I offer you my hand in lasting friendship. Please! Spare me!"
Serenity spat at Ami. "I don't spare beggars. Now it's your turn to go. Oh, Ami. If only you had loved me like Mina-chan and Mako-chan. But you don't. I guess it's farewell to you! And don't you EVER set foot in Crystal Tokyo while I'm queen!"
Serenity gave a triumphant smile, bringing out her Crystal. She whispered a chant. Mercury pleaded innocence, but Serenity ignored her lying talk. Mercury rose a few feet into the air, her back arched, as a beam of ice flew out of her mouth into the Silver Crystal. The Crystal glowed blue, then settled down to silver. Ami lay slumped on the ground.
"Get this trash out before I throw up," Serenity turned around, grandly escalating the stairs. Haruka and Michiru pulled Ami out and threw her into the chilly night. They closed the doors to their cozy, warmly lit home.
Hey you guys! I hope you liked this chapter. It's just a quickie since I have a lot of time on my hands. About having the starlites here... I dunno. I don't think that Mina and Mako will pair up with Yaten and Taiki, but I mite haf a Usa/Seiya relationship here. I think Yaten and Taiki won't have anyone here to spark a love interest with. They'll probably have someone else, that's not a scout.
