Part 3 of Elementals:  Water


	Amy tapped her pencil against her notebook.  She was sitting at her desk at home, 
absently studying her math.  She stared at the wall, not actually seeing it, as she thought 
about what had happened recently.  
	The Sailor Scouts were given a new mission, on the way acquiring two new Sailor 
Scouts, one of whom was Sailor Earth, Darien's twin sister during the Silver Millennium.  
The other Sailor Scout, Sailor Space, had had a fling with a Negaverse general.  He had 
turned good because of her, but another Negaverse general had killed him for being a 
traitor.
	Amy sighed and shut her notebook.  She changed into her blue pajamas and 
crawled into her bed.  She fell asleep with her thoughts churning in her mind.
************************************************************************
	..........the Queen...........  ..........inner circle........  .......danger.....  ......the 
moon...........  .............battle at hand............  .........blast......  .......screams..........  
.....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......
************************************************************************
	"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"  Amy bolted up and blinked hard several times, trying 
to remember where she was.  Her blue hair was plastered to her head and there were 
beads of sweat on her forehead.  Even though she was hot, she shuddered and she was out 
of breath.  As her mind cleared itself out of the fog it was in, she tried to grasp what she 
had dreamed, but she just couldn't remember.
	Finally, Amy calmed down and she looked at the clock.  1:53 A.M.  Amy sighed.  
How was she going to get a good grade on the big exam tomorrow without enough sleep?  
She sighed again before slipping into a deep sleep.
************************************************************************
	Amy drudged unhappily home.  That was the worst grade she had gotten in her 
whole life!
	Her head was still clouded with the confusion she had experienced last night.  
Then, Amy heard her name being called.  She turned around and saw Serena running to 
catch up.
	"What's wrong, Amy?" Serena asked with concern when she noticed Amy's 
gloomy expression.
	"I didn't get enough sleep last night because I had some weird dream I can't 
remember, so I did bad on my big exam today."
	"So what did you get?"
	"An A-."
	Serena's jaw dropped and she looked like she was going to hit her friend.  "Amy!  
An A- is super good!  Look at me.  I never get A's!"
	Amy looked at her friend and smiled.  Serena sure wasn't one to get good grades, 
but she always made her feel better, and Amy was glad to have such a good friend.
	"The girls are getting together tonight.  Are you going to come?" Serena asked.
	"Sure," Amy said.
	"Okay.  We're meeting tonight, at the temple, at 4:00.  See ya later."
	"Bye," Amy replied as Serena hurried away.
************************************************************************
	"You IDIOTS!" Queen Shera* growled at the minions assembled before her.  
"You can't don ANYTHING right!  All I ask is for you to locate the Sailor Star Elemental 
Scouts, and can you do it?  NO!  You have already let two of them be found out!"
	The court winced as their leader yelled at them.  Nothing was worse than a 
tongue-lashing from their queen.
	"Let me do it, Queen Shera," Sun said with a bow, her bright orange hair falling in 
soft waves around her.
	"Sun, you have let one Sailor Star Elemental Scout escape, but you did capture the 
traitor, Day.  For that, I will give you one more chance.  Do not fail me again!" Queen 
Shera said, her temper cooling some, but only a little.
	"Yes, my queen," Sun said with another bow and disappeared.
************************************************************************
	"Did you check out that new movie?"
	"Yeah, it was great!"
	"Wasn't that guy sooooo cute?"
	"Yeah, he was real dreamy.  Sigh."
	"Raye, can I borrow these comics?"
	"Serena!  I just got those!  Give them back!"
	"We're here on Scout business."
	"Oh, lighten up Luna!  All work and no play is a boring life."
	"Are you calling me boring?"
	"Anyway, what do you thing the Negaverse is doing now?"
	"I don't know.  What do you think, Amy?"
	Amy was staring out into space, while her friends were talking (actually, it was 
more like bickering), when a pillow came flying out of nowhere and hit her in the head.
	"Hey!" Amy exclaimed.
	"Earth to Amy!" Lita said.
	"Sorry for hitting you, but you weren't paying attention," Serena stated.
	"Yeah, what's up with you today, Amy?  You've been a lot quieter than normal," 
Raye said, concern showing on her face.
	"Huh?  Oh, I don't know.  I had .......a dream last night ............I think.  I haven't 
been able to ...................concentrate since," Amy replied slowly.
	"Maybe you should go home and get some sleep," Mina suggested.
	"Thank you.  That sounds good."  Amy smiled.  "See you guys later," she said and 
left.
************************************************************************
	On her way home, Amy passed the hospital where her mother worked.  She 
debated going in and saying 'hi' or just going home, when screams came from the building.
	Amy raced in and up the stairs.  She saw patients and doctors running for the door 
with no success as they collapsed, energy draining in waves from their bodies.  She also 
saw their newest enemy, Sun, floating in the air, her red-orange hair flailing behind her.  
Amy backed out of the room, out of sight and hearing, and pulled out her communicator.
	Amy contacted Serena and explained what was going on.  "Sun is attacking the 
hospital where my mom works.  Come quickly!" she whispered with urgency.
	"We're on it!" Serena replied, and her image faded.
	"Mercury Star Power!" Amy cried, transforming into Sailor Mercury.
************************************************************************
	"Come on you guys!  Amy's in trouble!" Serena huffed, running ahead of the 
group.
	When they arrived, out of breath, at the hospital, they got ready to transform.
	"Jupiter Star Power!"
	"Venus Star Power!"
	"Mars Star Power!"
	"Space Star Power!"**
	"Earth Star Power!"***
	"Moon Crystal Power!"
	The Sailor Scouts rushed into the building.
************************************************************************
	"Stop Negascum!  I am Sailor Mercury!  In the name of Mercury, I will punish 
you!" she cried, charging into the room.
	She couldn't wait any longer for her friends.  Pretty soon all of the captives' 
energy, and Sun with it, would be gone.
	"HUH?!" Sun exclaimed, whipping her head around to see Sailor Mercury 
standing in the doorway.
	"Where's your friends, Sailor Brat?" Sun sneered.
	"They're coming, but I can't allow you to take the energy from all of these innocent 
people.  Now leave or fight!" Sailor Mercury said, nervously glancing around, looking for 
her mother.  She finally found her, hiding under a desk.
	Sun glanced where that Sailor Mercury brat was looking and saw a female human 
hiding under a desk.  She smiled wickedly and grabbed the woman.
	"Why don't I take all of the energy from this woman?" Sun suggested with an evil 
grin.
	"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Sailor Mercury screamed, 
her tiara disappearing, a bright blue star appearing in its place on her forehead.
	"A Star Elemental?!" Sun thought with surprise.
************************************************************************
	The Sailor Scouts burst into the room just as Sailor Mercury screamed.  Luna was 
the first one to see the blue star blazing on Amy's forehead.
	"Amy!  Take this pin!  Use Star Elemental Power!" Luna cried, forgetting not to 
use Amy's name while she was Sailor Mercury.
	Sailor Mercury turned around, grabbed the star and pinned it to her bow.
	"Oh no you don't," Sun thought as she saw this.  She dropped the woman she had 
still been holding and dashed at Sailor Mercury.
	Sailor Mercury started saying, "Mercury Star Elemental Pow...," when Sun 
grabbed her and put a hand firmly over her mouth.
	"Sorry to be in such a hurry, but we have an appointment with Queen Shera."
	The Scouts ran full speed at Sun, but they were too far away and it was too late.  
Sun disapeared, along with Sailor Mercury.
************************************************************************
	"Amy! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Sailor Moon cried.
	The woman that had haphazardly dropped on the floor picked herself up.  "My 
Amy?  Could she be Sailor Mercury?  My Amy's ........gone?!" she cried in disbelief.
	Sailor Moon walked over to the woman and gave her a hug.  "Yes, Amy is Sailor 
Mercury.  Don't worry.  We'll get her back.  I promise."
	With that, the Sailor Scouts left.

F.Y.I.
*Shera (pronounced Shay-ra) is Aramaic for light.  In the Elementals series, all Negaverse 
characters' names have to do with light.
**The Sailor Star Elemental Scouts, Sailor Space and Sailor Earth, haven't ever actually 
transformed into the Star Elemental Scouts yet.  When Sailor Space transforms, she wears 
a uniform just like the other Sailor Scouts, except her color is black.  She wears black, 
ankle-high boots.  Her attacks are as powerful as the other Sailor Scouts, not more.  The 
attack she uses is 'Void Blackness Envelope.'  This attack basically makes the enemy blind.  
It is similar to Sailor Mercury's bubbles but it only affects the enemy (and isn't cold), 
making the enemy think it's pitch black.
***The same goes with Sailor Earth, except her uniform's color is brown.  She wears 
high-heels, like Raye, except her's are brown.  Her attacks are also as powerful as the 
other Sailor Scouts, not more, when not a Star Elemental.  The attack she uses is 'Earth 
Quake Shatter.'  This attack opens a crevice underneath the enemy and basically shatters 
everything in the area directed by Sailor Earth's attack.
