	Howdy, Sailor Moon Fans. Welcome again to the world of Y2V. I have 
for y'all the revision of my second fanfic, "Five-Alarm Fire". There 
ain't much difference between this and the original, just that I took 
care of the major errors in this story, as well as add a bit more 
description in few scenes. I'm also workin on revisin' "Brother of Fire" 
as well, so y'all will enjoy it better. This one takes place in the first 
season again, figures, after Brother of Fire. I'm introducin' another 
major character for the first season. Y'all have to read about him. As 
always, I hate to do this but here's my...


...Disclaimer: Sailor Moon and most of the characters ain't mine. They 
belong to Naoko Takeuchi, and I thank that woman for creating such great 
entertainment. The English dub belongs to DiC Entertainment, and I thank 
them for bringing' it, and finally the S season, to America. Anyways, 
Russell Hino, Hino Kyodai, Tuxedo Inferno, and all his other identities 
are MINE (in a deep, dark, growling voice). The new villain I'm 'bout to 
introduce is also mine. So, please don't sue me. Well, y'all enjoy this 
fanfic and e-mail me.

                                  Chapter 1

	"Negaverse, what are you talking about," says a soldier dressed in 
black armor. "Inferno Fire, BEAM!" Tuxedo Inferno sends a beam of fire at 
the soldier, knocking him on his back. He draws his flame sword and walks 
up to the fallen soldier. "Who are you?" the soldier cries.
	"I am Tuxedo Inferno, warrior of fire and protector of good. On 
behalf of the planet Mars, I will burn you," he responds as he raises his 
flame sword as it begins to burn. "Flame Sword, Strike!" He strikes the 
soldier with all his might, destroying him in a matter of seconds. "He 
wasn't lying. He doesn't look like somebody from the Negaverse," Tuxedo 
Inferno says to himself as he sheathes his flame sword, making it 
disappear into his obsidian jewel ring. "Still, somebody from the 
Negaverse must've sent him."

	Jedite looks on from a distance as Tuxedo Inferno defeats his 
soldier for hire. "He knows we're behind this," he says as he leaves. 
Queen Beryl watches from the Negaverse headquarters, "The Mars Prince is 
tougher than we thought. Jedite's gonna pay for his stupidity, sending a 
soldier who knew nothing of his enemy."

	Tuxedo Inferno changes back into his civilian form and jumps into 
his old coupe. He looks at his watch, 11:12 a.m., "Dang! I gotta go pick 
Mina up." He starts the engine and puts the pedal to the metal. He 
arrives at Mina's and checks his watch, 11:27 a.m., "Good, I made it. 
Good thing the cops didn't catch me speeding." He walks up casually and 
rings Mina's doorbell. She opens the door, "Hi Russell," and jumps on him,
wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "I'm glad to see you too," 
Russell responds. 
"So," Mina says, rubbing his face, "where're we going?"
	"You'll see," Russell says with a grin.
	"Oh, I love surprises," she says, jumping up and down excitedly. 
After letting Russell go, he now gets a better look at his sweetheart. 
She still wears the same cute red bow in her hair, a pale blue T-shirt, 
and a dark blue jumper with the skirt just above knee height. "You look 
great, Mina," Russell complements.
	He walks her out to the car and, as always, opens the door for her. 
"You're such a gentleman Russell," she says, smiling.
	"Thanks," he says as he closes the door and walks around to get in. 
They drive to the park. "The park, I love the park," says Mina, "Let's go 
to the duck pond." Russell walks toward the pond while Mina runs, chasing 
a white duck. 'Silly girl,' he thinks to himself, trying to hold back a 
laugh. "Mina, we've got all afternoon," he says, getting her attention, 
"You don't have to run. Besides, my surprise isn't 'til tonight."
	"Really," she says anxiously, "Oh I can't wait."
	They sit down near the edge of the pond and watch the ducks swim by.
Russell pulls out some grain, hands a little to Mina, and tosses it out 
to the ducks. They watch as a few ducks franticly chase after the food, 
gobbling it up in a heartbeat. Mina tosses her little bit out and watches 
a larger group flock towards the food. "Hi Russell, Hi Mina."
	They look back to see Serena and Lita. "What'cha doin'?" Serena 
asks.
	"Feeding ducks, enjoying some time together," Russell replies. Lita 
looks at him and Mina grimly.
	"Yeah," says Mina, "He's gonna take me some place tonight."
	'So you got Russell, huh,' Lita thinks to herself, 'You may have 
won the battle, but the war is far from over.' "Enjoy your time together," 
she says, keeping her composure. She and Serena walk off. when they get 
far enough from the couple, she whispers into her ear, "She'll get tired 
of him. I give them a week."
	"And then," says Serena, "you nab him, right?"
	"Something like that," Lita answers, cackling. 'He will be mine, oh 
yes he will. 'Back at the duck pond, Russell and Mina watch the waters 
and the ducks swimming by. Mina scoots closer to Russell and lies her 
head on his shoulder. Russell responds by wrapping his arm around her, 
holding her tightly. Together, they enjoy the sight of flocks of ducks 
enjoying their time swimming in the duck pond. They watch as one duck does 
its courtship dance to a potential mate. That sight prompts Mina to give 
Russell a slight squeeze and a kiss on the cheek. "Beautiful day, isn't 
it?" says Russell.
	"Yes," Mina replies, just enjoying the beautiful Saturday afternoon 
and Russell's company. She lets up from Russell's shoulder and turns to 
him, "You wanna go to the mall?" 
	Russell looks at her to see her smiling and swiftly batting her 
eyes, trying to get him to say yes. I mean, how could one say no to a 
face like Mina's? Easy, NO. But Russell enjoys spending time with this 
rather beautiful girl, whose beautiful blue eyes and that cute red bow in 
long blonde hair could convince any man to go her way. "Sure," he replies.
	They get up and walk towards Russell's car. They look around for 
Serena and Lita, but are nowhere to be seen. As always, Russell opens the
passenger side door for his girlfriend of one week. "Thank you," Mina 
says as she gets in. Russell hops in and looks through his CD case. He 
seems to have an endless cache of CDs, ranging from: Pop, Rock, Jazz, R&B, 
and even Japanese Traditional. He takes an R&B CD and pops it in his CD 
player. 'Whatever car I decide to get, it'd better have a CD player,' he 
thinks to himself as the CD starts playing.
	"Oh, I love this group," Mina says as she recognizes the first few 
notes of the song. Russell starts the engine and makes his way towards 
the mall. After a short drive and hearing a few songs as Mina holds 
Russell's hand, they arrive at the mall. Russell lets go of Mina's hand 
as he struggles to find a parking spot in this jam-packed parking lot. He 
finds a car in front of him backing out and decides to take that spot 
after the car leaves. He turns off his CD player and turns the engine off. 
He let's Mina out, like the true gentleman he's been for the whole week 
they've been going out. In her mind, Mina can't seem to stress it enough. 
She absolutely loves this guy. They hold hands as they walk through the 
parking lot. A car door nearby opens as they hear a voice call out, "Hey 
Russell." 
	They look to see Daniel waving to Russell, "I never knew you had 
time for a girlfriend."
	"Surprise, Surprise," Russell responds. He and Mina walk over to 
Daniel's car. 
	"Daniel, this is my girlfriend Mina. Mina, this is my friend Daniel. 
We're co-starters on the soccer team."
	"Pleased to meet you," Mina says, immediately noticing his 
appearance. 'You're not as cute as my Russell.'
	"He may be a year behind me, but Russell here's a great soccer 
player," says Daniel.
	"What are you doing?" Russell asks.
	"Going to the department store. You wanna come?" Daniel replies
	"Nah," Russell declines, "just spending time with Mina."
	"Alright, see ya' at practice Monday," says Daniel.
	Russell and Mina walk off as Daniel proceeds in the opposite 
direction. They walk inside the huge mall and walk to the large fountain, 
where the ceiling is a beautiful crystal glass. "Lots of people here," 
Russell says as large groups of people pass them by.
	"Yeah, it's Saturday," Mina adds.
	"I'm going to the music store," says Russell.
	"We can look at clothes after that," Mina suggests.
	"We can go to the department store for that. Besides, I need a new
blazer," says Russell.
	"I can look at some dresses as well," Mina adds.
	They walk over to the music store, where lots of people dwell, 
browsing through various CD's. Russell browses through the Pop CDs while 
Mina looks at some R&B titles. "Hey Russell, they've got a new album," 
Mina says, referring to the group they listened to on their way to the 
mall. Russell takes the CD and continues looking through. After a while, 
Russell is carrying 7 CD's, 3 for him, and 4 for Mina. As he gets to the 
counter, Mina's communicator goes off. "Sorry Russell, I gotta check my 
pager." She looks in her purse and pulls out the money to pay for her CDs. 
"I'll be back," she says as she hands Russell the money and leaves.
	She walks into the lady's room. "No one here, Good." She pulls out 
her communicator, "Yes."
	"Mina," it was Luna, "We've got trouble at the park. Another 
soldier is wreaking havoc at the park, and a couple youma are with him. 
I've already sent Serena out and am calling the others."
	"I'm on it," Mina says as she quickly leaves the ladies room, 
keeping her eyes out and making sure Russell doesn't catch her leaving 
him like this. She makes it outside and hides in a corner. She pulls out 
her pin, "Venus Power!" She transforms into Sailor Venus and runs toward 
the park.
	She arrives on the scene to see the soldier with his youma 
terrorizing the people. Sailor Venus finds it hard to believe that she 
and Russell were just here half-an-hour ago. Without any of the other 
scouts there yet, she launches an attack on one of the youma, "Venus 
Crescent Beam, SMASH!" She fires a laser at the youma, knocking it back 
a ways. Both youmas begin advancing on Mina, when a blast of fire hits 
one of them. Sailor Mars lands beside Sailor Venus as they both take it 
to the youmas. With the scouts' hands full with the youmas, the soldier 
begins draining energy from the nearby people. Suddenly, flashes of 
lightning accompanied by bubbles destroy the youmas. Sailor Jupiter and 
Sailor Mercury arrive at the battlefield, with Sailor Moon following 
them. The soldier looks on, "Ah, perfect. With all the scouts here, we 
can carry on our plans."
	"Plans," says Sailor Moon, "What are you talking about?"
	"You'll see," the soldier says as he launches a large ball of dark 
energy at the scouts, knocking all five of them back.

	Negaverse Headquarters...

	Queen Beryl and Jedite look on. "Perfect, we use this soldier to 
lure the Sailor Scouts," says Beryl.
	"Yeah," Jedite agrees, "Hopefully we'll lure the Mars Prince as 
planned."
	"But we still have to find out his connection with them," Beryl 
adds, "Let's try concentrating on one at a time."
	"You got it," Jedite replies.

	Park...

	Sailor Mercury lies wounded as the soldier concentrates on Sailor 
Venus. Sailor Jupiter jumps in the way of the soldier to save her friend, 
even though she stole her Russell. She grapples with the soldier, giving 
Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus enough time to set up an attack. 
	"Mars Fire, Ignite!" 
	"Venus Crescent Beam, Smash!"
	Sailor Jupiter jumps out of the way as the combined attack hits the 
soldier square in the chest, knocking him into a tree.

	Negaverse Headquarters...

	"NO," Jedite yells as he looks on in shock, with beads of sweat 
forming on his forehead. Suddenly, he lowers his eyebrows and clinches a 
fist in front of him. "CONCENTRATE ON THOSE TWO," he yells, sending a 
message to the soldier back on earth.

	Park...

	The soldier recovers and fires a swirling ray of dark energy at 
Sailor Venus, throwing her into the duck pond and scarring off most of 
the ducks. Suddenly, a flying disk of light hits him in the side, 
knocking him to the ground and causing him to slide about 50 feet. Sailor 
looks at the soldier in anger. "In the name of the Moon, I will punish 
you!" She draws her wand and fires a beam of light into the soldier, 
disintegrating it.

	Negaverse Headquarters...

	"NO," Beryl and Jedite yell in anger. "I told you concentrating on 
one at a time wouldn't work," says Beryl, "How are we going to carry out 
are plans if your soldiers can't even take them on."
	"But, didn't you tell me to concentrate on one at a time?" Jedite 
questions.
	"Of course I did, and I had an idea it wouldn't work."
	"Then I'll send another and change my strategy," Jedite says as he 
sends another soldier.

	Park...

	The scouts regroup as a ball of energy hits them, scattering them 
about. Sailor Moon recovers and sees the soldier Jedite sent. "Oh, no. 
Not another one," she says as she takes it to him while the other scouts 
recover. The soldier knocks Sailor Moon back and rushes toward the other 
scouts. He draws a dark crystal. "You're mine," he says as the crystal 
glows a bright violet and fires an intense bean at Sailor Jupiter, 
sending her on the other side of the lake.
	Sailor Mercury grabs her minicomputer. "Be careful scouts. The 
energy readings on that crystal are off the charts."
	"Find a weakness," Sailor Mars says as the soldier knocks her on 
her back.
	"Moon Tiara, Magic!"
	Sailor Moon hits the dark crystal, knocking it out of the soldier's 
hand. He recovers the crystal and fires a beam at Sailor Mars, hitting 
her square in the chest and sending her into a picnic table.

	Mall...

	Russell waits at the department store for Mina, wondering what's 
taking her so long. Fed up with waiting, he browses through the men's 
clothes section, looking at blazers and sport coats. He finds a great 
maroon blazer, a well-made maroon double-breasted coat, and an expensive 
dark maroon business suit. And he wonders if there are any tuxedos. 'Nah, 
I'll search the Tux store on my own time. Where's Mina.'
	Satisfied and waiting to show Mina, he puts the coats back up and 
begins looking at some ties. Suddenly, he gets some odd sense, that maybe 
someone close to him is in danger. He tries to ignore it, but the feeling 
gets stronger. It gets to the point to where he hears a voice in his head 
calling for help. He runs through the department store to find someplace 
to transform and finds an elevator. He points to it, "YEAH," and runs to 
it. He vigorously and constantly presses the down button to open it, 
"C'mon, c'mon, work. Open sesame." The elevator dings and the door opens, 
no one is inside, "YES." He walks in and vigorously presses the close 
door button. He takes his obsidian jewel ring and transforms into Tuxedo 
Inferno. He presses the button to go to the first floor. He makes it 
there and leaves the elevator. "Nice outfit handsome," says a woman near 
the elevator. "Thanks," Tuxedo Inferno says as he walks toward the exit. 
He then walks by a man in the furniture section, "Costume party's in the 
ballroom across the street." "Thank you," Tuxedo Inferno says as he waves 
to the man. More women and even some sorority girls he knows notice him, 
some whistling at him. He finally makes it out of that department store. 
"Man, I'm never gonna transform here again," he says as he runs in the 
direction of the park.

	Park...

	Sailor Moon tangles with the soldier, desperately trying to get his 
dark crystal. "Serena," Sailor Mercury says, getting Sailor Moon's 
attention. This gives the soldier an opportunity as he knocks Sailor Moon 
back. 
	"Fire and thunder can take this guy out," she says.
	"But Sailor Mars is way over there," Sailor Moon says as she points 
to the picnic table where Sailor Mars is just now getting up, "And Sailor 
Jupiter's on the other side of the lake."
	Suddenly, a beam of fire hits the soldier in the chest, knocking 
him in the duck pond. The 3 standing scouts look towards the hill, where 
Tuxedo Inferno is standing with his cape and long hair waving in the wind. 
"He's back," says Sailor Venus.
	"Maybe we can trust him," says Sailor Mercury.
	"Maybe," Sailor Moon responds in doubt, "Go over to Sailor Jupiter 
and make sure she doesn't lash out at him. If the soldier hates fire, 
then this Tuxedo Inferno could be of help." Sailor Venus starts running 
around the lake to where Sailor Jupiter is just now recovering.
	The soldier recovers and realizes that he had lured the Mars Prince 
as planned, "Good, you're here. Now face my dark crystal." The dark 
crystal begins to glow. Tuxedo Inferno brings his arm across his body, 
with his two fingers by his ear, "Inferno Blaze!" He swings his arm, 
sending a wall of fire rushing towards the soldier, knocking his crystal 
from his hand. Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon jump in.
	"Mercury Bubbles, Blast!" She sends her bubbles at the soldier, 
causing him to feel very woozy and unable to fight.
	"In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!" She sends a blast of 
light into the woozy soldier, disintegrating him into a puff of purple 
smoke. The other scouts walk over to where they are. "YOU," Sailor 
Jupiter yells, about ready to electrocute the man in the maroon tuxedo.
	"CALM DOWN," Sailor Moon yells. She turns back to Tuxedo Inferno, 
"Thank you for you help Tuxedo Inferno."
	"Don't sweat it," Tuxedo Inferno says as he runs off. Sailor Moon 
turns back to Sailor Jupiter, "Lita, he helped us out."
	"That's right," Sailor Mercury agrees, "He used fire to weaken the 
soldier while Serena finished him off."
	"It's all too coincidental," says Sailor Jupiter, "I still don't 
trust him."
	"Scout meeting at the temple," says Sailor Mars.
	"What about your brother," says Sailor Mercury.
	"Oh my goodness, I forgot about him," says Sailor Venus, "Ohhh he's 
gonna be so mad." She runs back towards the mall, not forgetting to 
transform back into her civilian form when she reaches an alleyway.
	"Let's go," Sailor Moon says as they all head towards Raye's.

	Back at the Negaverse headquarters, Jedite and Queen Beryl 
witnessed the battle. 
	The battle ends and they both smile at the results. "Ha, ha, ha, 
great," says Beryl. 
	"When the scouts are in trouble, the Mars Prince comes to help," 
says Jedite.
	"No," snarled Beryl, "the pretty little twit's prince would've 
showed up as well. There must be some connection between him and that 
pyromaniac Sailor Mars."
	"But none of the scouts, not even she, know about him," Jedite 
argued.
	"Still, now that we've studied him a little, it's time to carry out 
our plans. Set a price on him, make sure we get the best bounty hunter on 
him."
	"You got it," says Jedite.
