"Well?" The younger girl still expected an answer.
"I was trying to get information on our enemies. What are you doing?"
"Nothin'. So what d'you find?"
"Not that it's your business, but one of the Knights just healed her little sister's skinned elbow."
"How cute!" Amber liked children. A lot. It probably had to do with the fact that she had never quite grown up. Although it had been twenty years since she had been taken from her home, she had barely aged six or seven years.
"It's not cute. It's important info. She can heal!"
"The kid?"
"No. The Knight."
"Oh, well, what was the kid's aura like? You were looking at auras, right?"
"I don't know. I wasn't looking at her. I was looking at the Knight."
"Well, next time you should check out the little girl too!"
Crystal sighed in exasperation.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*At last!* Crystal thought as she looked in prism again hours later. With all the stuff Team Eclipse expected her to do around here, it was a wonder she ever got a chance to be alone.
She couldn't blame them all that much. Since the deterioration of the Army Eclipse, they all had to work harder to achieve any of their goals. But while they had conquered several solar systems, none of them had managed to find a suitable planet to call their home. But now Amethyst seemed obsessed with this planet. This Earth. She was dead-set on making this planet her home. Well, hers and Jasper's.
So Crystal had to wonder why she seemed to be doing all the work today.
Once again she concentrated on Tenshi, deciding to forego the Mizuno family. But when she found her, Tenshi was in her car, which made it difficult to focus on her. Finally, Tenshi parked and ran up to a house.
She rang the bell and waited there until Mizuno Kimahou answered the door.
"Konban wa. Is Koneko here?"
"I'll get her." Kimahou left Tenshi at the door. At this point, Tenshi was surrounded by a pink aura, which intensified as Neko, also enveloped in pink, approached.
Crystal focused more on Tenshi, trying to ascertain her outer aura.
"Tenshi-kun!" Neko smiled at the older girl, as she reached the door-
Suddenly, Crystal's vision went black. She jerked away from the prism, which quickly returned to its normal translucent color. "What the�"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
All night Crystal tried to focus on Neko and Tenshi, but she couldn't get through to them. All the others were accessible to her through the prism, but for some reason, she was blocked from the couple. *God, are they still together?! It's got to be four in the morning here on Earth. They're too young to be out all night or sleeping together!*
"Find anything useful?" Crystal turned at Amethyst's voice to find everyone behind her. Amber had apparently snitched to the rest of the team.
"Well�." She considered the benefits of sharing her information with the other four team members. They weren't always very nice to her, and this was something that she alone could do. Besides, she was a little unsure that she knew what was going on herself.
Jasper, as usual, was reassuring. "Crystal, anything you found that can be of use to the team would be appreciated." Jasper didn't have any psychic ability, nor did his sister Amber - in fact, the power they did possess came from the necklaces that General Eclipse had given them years ago - but he still was generally able to ascertain what the others were feeling. Out of the whole team, Crystal felt he was the nicest. In fact, she'd be lying if she didn't admit to having a small crush on him. But he belonged to Amethyst.
"Well� okay. The Sailor Senshi as a whole don't really have any protection�. Um, two of them are protected, I think. Except� well, I'm not sure, but it seems to work only when they're together, maybe. All I know is that as soon as they were close, I was blocked. The twins have a psychic link and their father is psychic as well. And one of the Knights has the ability to heal, like you Jasper. Other than that they seem to be normal Senshi." This wasn't totally accurate. Crystal had noticed that the white light that shown around the chest of all Sailor Senshi was especially strong in this solar system. The Senshi of Neo-Queen Serenity all had pure hearts that connected to the brilliance of the ginzuishou. However, she didn't feel that was important enough to share. They weren't concerned with pure hearts.
"Did you detect any weaknesses that we could use against them?" Carnelian was all-business.
"Well, not really with the couple. I do think we have other ways to get to them. Of the group, I think that Mizuno Gebriel will be easiest to approach. He's reaching the end of his childhood and feels like the others don't respect him. Also, he's looking for a girlfriend." Crystal looked at Amber. "Not you."
Amber stuck her tongue out. "Like I'd want a Knight for a boyfriend anyway!" Jasper put a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to make her settle down.
"I'll do it," Carnelian volunteered. They looked at her in surprise. Gebriel wasn't really her type. "If their father's psychic, I'm the obvious choice. He can't read anything off of me." Carnelian was completely unscannable by psychics. Even Crystal and their father couldn't read her.
"Good, that's something then. I didn't get much on the younger Senshi in my research." Jasper had been talking to several people on the moon and in Crystal Tokyo. "Everyone gave me detailed stories about how Neo-Queen Serenity and the original Sailor Senshi had saved the world time and time again, but I guess the newer Senshi haven't made their mark yet. I did hear that they beat one of Sailor Moon - that's who the queen used to be - her old enemies, though, so they aren't exactly incompetent."
