*********************************************************** FSC Memories Part 3: Sweatdrop Crystal Power! *********************************************************** At the temple, all the witches were in the kitchen. On the table there were many sheets of paper. Some of them looked like blueprints for a new weapon. Viluy was examining data on a small computer, Tellu was taking care of a little potted plant, the twins were playing Monopoly and Mimet was searching for food in the fridge. Eudial dropped a blueprint and sighed. "What's wrong, Eudial?" Viluy asked. "Eugeal is dead, Hiryu has been kidnapped by the Negamail, a new enemy showed up and they seem to know our secret identity, and I can't concentrate to build a new weapon powerful enough to defeat them! What else could be wrong?!" Viluy sighed too. "I'm trying to collect information on the Negamail, but I hadn't luck. I only found out that an unknown object entered Earth atmosphere exactly when Sailor Saturn began her attack... Then I lose its traces..." "By the way," Cyprine asked "How is Silver?" "He'll be OK, but he needs to rest a lot. That Mailbox took almost all his energy. But next time I meet her, she'll pay!" Mimet sat at the table, holding a glass filled with a orange liquid. Tellu looked at her. "What are you drinking, Mimet? Isn't that orange juice, right? You didn't hurt a little harmless orange, RIGHT?!" Mimet gave her a surprised look. "No, Tellu. There was no orange juice in the fridge. That's all I could find: carrot juice..." Tellu turned blue and stepped back in horror. "You murderer! Oh, if I think that all those little nice carrots were living happy in the green, then someone tortured them until they become juice! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" All the other witches sweatdropped. "What do you mean with 'I can't'?!" Ikari yelled. "Iry! You were supposed to use e-mail to drain people's energies! We're the Negamail, so we rule on EVERY kind of mail! Is that clear?!" "I know that perfectly well, Ikari, but there is a problem." Iry answered. Lalia walked a little far from them. Iry's voice was quiet, but she knew her twin sister was about to get mad. And she preferred to stay in a safe place when her two sisters would begin to fight... "WHAT problem?!" Ikari yelled again. "When you send e-mails, you have to use the phone. Did you know that, Ika?" "SURE I KNEW THAT!!!!!" "And you can't send an e-mail if phone lines are busy, right? Well, they're ALWAYS busy..." "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Ikari shouted "My! You aren't even able to make a call!" Iry developed a ghost flame and crossveined. Lalia sweatdropped and tried to run out of the room, when she bumped in Shin-E. Hiryu was sitting on her shoulder. She walked in to the room, apparently unaware of the two girls and looked at the monitor. Lalia followed her sweatdropping. Shin-E softly laughed. Iry and Ikari looked at their Mailbox. She caressed Hiryu's hair and laughed again. Ikari looked pretty angry. "Do you think it's so funny?!" Shin-E grinned. "It must be the Negaphone. They are the ones who mess Net.tokyo phone lines." Hiryu glanced at Eugeal: how could she remember clearly things like the Negaphone or the scouts' identities and forget her friends and her love? The three sisters gasped. "What?! The Negaphone is here?!" Shin-E nodded. "I'll transfer all known data about them on the central computer now." She handed Hiryu to Lalia and closed her eyes. Two wires coming from the computer wrapped her body, causing her uniform to disappear. Electric lightenings and sparkles surrounded her to avoid problems with censors. After a while, they disappeared and Shin-E was wearing her uniform again. The wires went back into the computer. "Data transfer successfully completed." Shin-E said, then she took Hiryu from Lalia hands and put him on her shoulder again. Ikari pressed a button on the keyboard and the pics of the four Annoying Sisters appeared on the monitor. "There's no doubt! They're the ones we know!" Lalia said. Iry fumed. "We'll have revenge for what they did when we were in the same school!" "Yes! They'll pay for all the sorrow they gave to us!" Ikari added. "YES! REVENGE!" They yelled at once. Shin-E and Hiryu sweatdropped. "Little Hiryu, what do you think? I wonder what the Negaphone sisters did to them..." she whispered to him. Hiryu shrugged. "I've no idea Eu....Shin-E." Iry called her. "Shin-E! Are your ready for your next mission?" Shin-E looked at her. "A Mailbox is always ready, Iry-san." The other woman nodded. "Perfect. You'll have to go out and wait for the Negaphone to attack, then destroy them...No! I've a better idea! What's up Shin-E? Are you well?" Shin-E was looking around with a strange look in her eyes. She stared at Iry and shook her head. "I had the impression that a dog should show up when you said you had a better idea..." Everyone sweatdropped. "So her memory hasn't been wiped out at all...She could still remember her friends..." Hiryu thought. Iry continued to talk. "Well, as I was saying, I want you to capture them alive. It will be much funnier to torture them." "What if Negaphone doesn't show up?" "Then collect more energy." Shin-E nodded and walked out of the room. Back in her room, she told Hiryu to stay there and wore her mask. "I want to come with you!" Hiryu said. Shin-E smiled. "I'm sorry little one, but you can't. I'll be back soon." "Wait! Why can you remember about the Negaphone and everything, but you can't remember your friends?!" "What do you mean for friends?" "Eugeal, can't you remember the persons you loved? Can't you feel it in your heart?" "Feel? Mailboxes haven't feelings. And I already told you my name is Shin-E! Now I've to go." Hiryu sighed. "Please, be careful...Shin-E." Shin-E teleported away. Hiryu dropped himself on the bed. "It is as if they wiped out all her feelings..." he thought "I have to find a way to save her...Eugeal was ready to die to save the place she loved and her friends...No one can destroy this, I'm sure. Eugeal's soul is asleep now and I just have to find a way to wake her up..." He touched the black stamp symbol on his forehead. "I'm afraid the sailor scouts can hurt her, but I can't do anything to warn them..." Eudial looked at Silver. The boy was still unconscious. She caressed his cheek and sighed. "He's so nice when he's asleep..." she wiped out a tear "I'm so scared...All the ones I loved aren't near me anymore...Sil-chan, I don't want to lose you too!" She kneeled near the bed and put her cheek on Silver's hand. The witch didn't notice that Christine was watching her, hiding behind the door of the room. The young girl silently walked away. Christine walked out of the temple, silently weeping. "It's all my fault... Eudial is suffering so much because I killed Eugeal...And Hiryu had been kidnapped because he was defending me... I bring sorrow with me..." She felt a hand touching her shoulder. Christine looked up and saw that her father was in front of her. "What's up Christine? Why are you crying?" Professor Chronos looked concerned. "Daddy..." Christine sobbed "Oh daddy! It's horrible! I...I..." Chronos hugged his daughter. "Don't cry Christine...Everything will be fine, I'm sure..." "But I kill..." Christine stopped when she noticed the woman who had appeared behind Prof. Chronos. "Who are you?!" she said. Prof. Chronos turned and saw the girl in a black uniform who was floating in the air over them. "Coming from the powerful Negamail, Mailbox Shin-E!" Shin-E softly landed in front of Prof. Chronos and wickedly smiled. The professor stepped back. "Christine! Go away!" he said to the daughter then he looked at Shin-E "So, what do you want?" Christine ran to call Wendy and Eudial. Shin-E moved a hand and her staff appeared. She grabbed it and aimed it a Prof. Chronos neck. "You asked me what I want?" The professor sweatdropped and nodded. The Mailbox grinned an took a envelope. "I want your energy, human. I'm tired to wait for the Negaphone to show up..." Shin-E put the envelope on Prof. Chronos forehead and was about to drain his energy, when a little sharp black star hit her hand. She turned, holding her hand in pain. Sailor Kurohoshi grinned. "I was waiting for you, Mailbox! You hurt Silver and kidnapped Hiryu, I won't forgive you! I'm Eternal Sailor Kurohoshi and in name of sweatdrops, I'll punish you!" Shin-E held her staff in front of her. "Really, Eudy?" Sailor Kurohoshi sweatdropped and formed a ghost flame. "I warn you...never...call...me...that!" Shin-E laughed. "Eudy! Eudy! Eudy!" "I WARNED YOU!!! NOW YOU DIE!!!!!" Sailor Kurohoshi charged her wand thanks to Prof. Chronos sweatdrop and used her Sweatdrops Deep Submerge. Shin-E rotated the staff and used it to hit the energy sphere, sending it back to Eudial. The witch dodged it and the Sweatdrop Deep Submerge headed towards Prof. Chronos. Sailor Callisto pushed her father away just a second before the attack hit him. Shin-E laughed at Eudial. "Poor Eudy...You can't do anything against my Silver Staff! What will you do now? I'll drain your energy, all your energy and you won't be able to stop me..." "We'll see!" Eudial floated and Shin-E followed her. Sailor Kurohoshi moved her wings and flew at high speed towards the Mailbox. "Hey!" she thought "The author found a practical use for these wings.... I can't believe that!" Shin-E stopped her with the staff, giving her a electric shock. Sailor Kurohoshi jumped back and glared at Shin-E. The Mailbox smiled. "You can't beat me, Eudy..." "I will...I have other weapons...I can still use the Holy Grail..." *1 Eudial closed her eyes and the Holy Grail appeared in front of her. Sailor Kurohoshi touched it with the Sweatdrops Wand and it grew in length. "Now I've a staff too!" Eudial said. The two girls began fighting with their staffs. Sailor Callisto looked at them. "I wish I could help Eudial, but I can't fly..." Idea walked near her and sat. "They seem to have the same power level..." he barked. "I wonder who's that girl..." Prof. Chronos said "Too bad she works for the Negamail, she'd be a good assistant..." Idea and Sailor Callisto sweatdropped. Shin-E rotated her staff and hit Eudial's one, making it to fly away. Sailor Kurohoshi stared at the Mailbox. Shin-E laughed and rose her staff. "Now you die, Eudy!" Eudial bitterly smiled. "No, Shin-E. I can still use a weapon... I'll use the Sweatdrop Crystal!" A drop shaped faceted crystal formed in her hands and began to glow. Idea gasped. "No, she can't use the full power of the Sweatdrop Crystal! If she loses control on it, she'll die! Eudial, stop!" Eudial smiled. "Don't worry, Idea. I won't lose control...I'll win." The crystal charged with her power. Shin-E seemed to be in pain. "What are you doing to me?! My heart is burning!!!" she cried. Sailor Kurohoshi blinked. "I haven't begun yet...But now I'll really attack you...SWEATDROP CRYSTAL POWER!" The light of the crystal wrapped Shin-E and the Mailbox crashed to the ground. Sailor Kurohoshi landed and walked in front of Shin-E. Sailor Callisto, Chronos and Idea sided her. "I won, Mailbox. Now You'll have to give Hiryu back to us..." Shin-E weakly moved. "You won't have him back...he's my pet..." The Mailbox rose her head. Eudial grinned and moved to grab her mask. "Now we'll find out your identity!" The witch sweatdropped when she saw the other girl's face. "What?! Eugeal?! You're alive!" "My name is Shin-E. And I'll have revenge..." Shin-E grabbed her Silver Staff and teleported away. Eudial transformed back. "She was Eugeal, I'm sure..." "But why is she fighting us?" Wendy asked. "I don't know. But I can't be wrong. That was really Eugeal." Idea nodded. "Now I understand why she was suffering when Eudial used the Sweatdrop Crystal. She has the other talisman in her body and it reacted when Eudial used hers..." "We'll have to find a way to save her!" Wendy said. Eudial nodded and smiled. "Now she's evil and she attacked us, but I'm so happy she isn't dead!"
