Moon Rocks, Fire Birds, and Flaming Roses Part 3

    "OW!!"
    Kitty sighed. "Here we go."
    "That's it!!" Jubilee shrieked. "This fire-cracker ain't wearin heals
anymore!!"
    The nine scouts were practicing in the danger room on Muir. Pete walked
in wearing his usual garb, and immediately turned around and walked out.
    "What's his problem?" asked Illyana.
    Amanda sighed. "He doesn't want John to see him in tux. Pete doesn't like
being laughed at."
    Illyana smirked. "John has no room to talk. He's a cat."
    "Don't tell him that," said Paige. "He thinks it was a dream."
    After their session, they walked out, still wearing their scout uniforms.
Domino had insisted that she use her gun instead of her knife.

Limbo/The Negaverse...
    "Your will is my command, my queen, my king."
    "I'm glad, Jadeite. I want that first crystal with no interference from
those scouts."
    He nodded, his blond hair falling in his face a little. His expression
was that of evilness and hatred. He disappeared, and reappeared in front of
a redheaded girl.
    "Doug?"
    "Hello, Rahne." He smiled evilly at her and raised a hand. She screamed,
as she turned into a full wolf. She had no control over her actions; her
animal instincts were in control. "Find me the one they call Storm--"
    She grunted and ran out into the hall.

    "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
    "...John?"
    Pete looked around the guest room, but found no one. All of the sudden,
something bit at his ankle.
    "Shit!!" Pete looked down to see a white, adult, presumably male cat
biting his ankle. It had a crescent moon on his forehead. Pete blinked, and
began to laugh.
    "It's not funny, you fucking pratt!!"
    Pete laughed harder. "John... Yer a... a..."
    "Yeah, yeah. I'm a cat. Shut it."
    "Yer an ugly cat, Mate."
    John bit Pete again.
    "AH! I was kidding!"
    "Listen, Tuxedo Arse! I don't wanna hear any more o' it!" John let go of
his leg. "I'm a cat. So fucking what. Don't say another bleedin word!"
    "Okay... Artemis- OW!!"
    "What's all the screaming in here?"
    Pete looked to the door to see a small, black cat that also had a
crescent moon. "Romany?!"
    "Hello Pete."
    He started laughing again.
    John bit him again.
    "John," Romany snapped. "Stop that."
    John let go, and glared up at Pete.
    "We have a rather large problem on our hands," Romany told them. "You
better follow me." She scampered out of the room. John and Pete followed her
into the Danger room. "Sailor Scouts, I believe the time has come for you to
fight. We have a situation."
    "Did that cat just, like, talk?"
    Romany sighed. "Yes, I did, Jubilee, now get your arse up off the ground,
and follow me."
    Kitty stared. "R--Romany?"
    "Yes! Now will you please follow me? This is important!"
    The scouts shrugged at each other and ran after Pete and the cats.
    "You can't expect to fight looking like that," Romany said to Pete as
they ran. "You have to change into your Tuxedo Mask form."
    "Hell, no."
    "Do it, you stupid bugger!"
    Pete sighed, and concentrated. The transformation started at his feet and
worked its way up his body, until he was Tuxedo Mask.
    And then it was John's turn to laugh. "You look so bloody pathetic,
Wisdom."
    "Shut it, John," Pete snapped. "At least I don't lick my own-"
    "Will you two shut up?!" Amanda cried.
    They made their way up to the attic, to find Ororo Munroe on the run from
Rahne Sinclaire. Wolfsbane.
    "Rahne?" Meggan said, confusion filling her voice. Wolfsbane growled at 
Meggan, eyes glowing red.
    "What the hell is going on?" Domino asked.
    "I don't know!" Ororo cried. "I'm just being chased!" She tried to blast
Wolfsbane back with wind, but it was no use. "Nothing I have tried so far
has had any effect! I cannot beat her!"
    There was a low, maniacal laughter from above.
    The group looked up, and one name came out of each of their mouths.
    "DOUG?!"
    "Doug no longer!!!! I am Jadeite!!!"
    "Oh, shit," Illyana muttered. "What the hell are you talking about?!
Doug, come down from there!"
    He laughed. "You dare order me around?!" He shot at Illyana with black
energy, but she brought out her Soul Sword and deflected the blast.
    "Ororo!" Kitty yelled. "Try to hold Rahne back for as long as you can!"
    Domino ran up and jumped onto Wolfsbane. "I got it covered, Pryde! I
can't believe I'm saving your butt, Storm."
    "Don't think I'm not grateful," Ororo replied.
Wolfsbane snarled at Domino, and tried to get her off her back, but it was
no use. Domino wrestled Rahne to the ground. She then knocked her unconscious
with the butt of her gun.
    Doug sighed. "I suppose that if I want something done, I have to do it
myself." He lowered himself down in front of Ororo, and held a hand out. Her
chest opened up, and a rainbow-colored crystal rose into the air from her.
"Holy shit!" cried Pete. He tried to tackle Doug, but he was held back by
some unseen force.
    "ORORO!" Jean cried. Doug snatched the crystal, and Ororo began to fall.
Jean caught her with her telepathy, and rushed over to her, as Ororo slowly
began to change into what could only be a Negaverse monster.
    "Flash Flood!" Doug cried. "Destroy them!!!"
    "Something tells me that this is, like, not good," Jubilee muttered.
    Storm, or "Flash Flood," turned to the heroes with murder in her eyes.
