WHEN HEROES COLLIDE
Part Two: Great Balls of Fire

It has been almost a day since the Sailor Scouts
arrived in Toyoma. Since there were eight extra
guests, including the cats, staying in Mia’s home, she
was forced to place everyone into two separate rooms:
the Ronin Warriors in one bedroom and the Sailor
Scouts and Rini in another bedroom just across the
hall. Rae was looking out the windowsill of the
temporary bedroom, in silent thought, when Serena, Amy
and Mina, followed by Rini, Luna, and Artemis, entered
the room. “Hey, Rae, are you all right?” Mina asked.
Rae turned toward her friends and replied, “I’m fine,
really. I just needed some time to myself, that’s
all.” “Well, I hope you’re hungry,” Lita announced as
she entered the room, “because lunch is ready.” “It’s
about time, Lita!” Serena exclaimed. “I’m starving!”
She raced out of the room, with Rini at her heels.
“Well, we’d better hurry,” Luna replied to the girls,
“or there will be nothing left for us!” The girls
laughed as they made their way downstairs.

The four girls took their places at the table, where a
plate of food was waiting for each of them. Serena was
already chowing down, eating as though she hadn’t had
any food in days. Rini was also eating, but not as
fast as Serena was. “Mia!” Lita shouted toward the
kitchen. “Don’t bother doing our dishes. I’ll wash
them for you.” Mia appeared at the kitchen door,
drying a plate with a small dishcloth. “Thank you,
Lita,” she replied. “That’s very kind of you.” “No
problem!” Lita admitted. As Mia headed back into the
kitchen, Mina asked her, “Where are the guys?” Mia
turned her head and replied, “Don’t worry about them,
Mina. They’re out in the woods, but they should be
back in about half an hour.” With that, Mia went back
to the kitchen.

The girls continued eating in silence. Luna broke the
silence. “Girls,” she started, “did any of you happen
to see some strange lights coming from the sky
yesterday?” They shook their heads no. “What do you
mean, Luna?” Serena asked. “Yesterday the three of
us,” she started, indicating Rini, Artemis and
herself, “saw some strange lights in the sky. As soon
as we saw them, the lights disappeared.” “But, what
could they mean?” Rae asked Luna. “I think I know.”
The girls looked at Rini, who was playing with her
food, lost in thought. “Do you know something that we
don’t?” Serena cautiously asked Rini.

“I’m not exactly sure,” she started, “but this
information is from what my mommy told me before I
left Crystal Tokyo. There were rumors about these
weapons that the Dark Moon people created. These
weapons were called the Celestial Stones, because each
stone absorbed energy from one of the five elements of
nature: fire, earth, air, water, and spirit. Each
stone also contained a fragment of the Dark Crystal.
When the Celestial Stones gather enough energy, a
powerful creature would emerge from each one. If the
creatures are not destroyed, the people from the Dark
Moon will take them back to Crystal Tokyo…” Rini
started to cry at the thought of this. Serena got up
from her seat and went to Rini’s side. “It’s okay,
Rini,” she whispered as she hugged Rini...

Meanwhile, out in the woods not far from the house,
the Ronin Warriors were having a private conversation.
Kento was chowing down on the remaining sandwiches Mia
packed for them. “Hey, Kento!” Cye shouted to his
friend. “Take it easy with those sandwiches. We’re not
far from the house, you know.” Ryo was leaning against
a tree, lost in thought until a friend’s voice brought
him back to reality. “Ryo, are you okay?” Sage asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Ryo replied. “We should be heading
back,” Rowen mentioned as he glanced at his watch.
“You guys go ahead,” Ryo told them. “I need some time
alone. Come on, White Blaze!” As he got onto the
tiger’s back, Rowen asked, “When will you be back?”
“I’ll be back before sunset. Let’s go, White Blaze!”
The two of them ran off into the woods, while the
remaining four grabbed their things and headed back up
to the house...

Back in the house, Rini managed to calm down. “I
wonder,” Amy muttered aloud, “if there’s a way we
could track down these Celestial Stones before the
creatures emerge from them.” “I know how we can do
that!” Rini replied. “Wait here.” She got up from the
table and ran upstairs. Moments later, she came back
downstairs with her Luna Sphere. “LUNA SPHERE…KITTY
MAGIC!” Rini cried out as she threw the Luna Sphere
into the air. Instantly, an object that looked like a
hand-held computer appeared and landed in Rini’s open
hands. It was pink with a gold crescent moon on the
lid. “This is a pocket tracer,” she explained as she
held the device up in the air. “It can be programmed
to track down anything, including the Celestial
Stones!”

She opened the tracer and began typing rapidly, while
the Sailor Scouts watched in awe. Moments later, Rini
announced, “Done! I’ve programmed it to track down the
five Celestial Stones. And look! It found one of the
stones already!” The girls looked at the screen, where
they could see a flashing red blip and a solid white
blip. “What do those dots mean, Rini?” Rae asked her.
“That red dot at the top of the screen is the
Celestial Stone of Fire,” Rini explained, “and that
white dot at the bottom indicates where the tracer
is.” “Can we find out where the Fire Stone is?” “Of
course, we can, Rae.” Rini pressed a couple of
buttons, and a map appeared on the screen. “Let’s
see,” Rini muttered, “the Fire Stone is located
several miles south away from here.” “Yeah, but who’s
going to look for it?” Serena asked.

“I’ll do it.” The other girls turned toward Rae, who
continued. “That Fire Stone needs to be in a hot place
in order to gather energy. Since fire is my element,
it would make sense if I go retrieve the Fire Stone.”
“That’s true,” Amy agreed, “but how are you going to
get to the other side of Toyoma in time?” “I have an
idea,” Rae muttered out loud as she walked to the
kitchen door. “Mia,” she called out, “can you do a
favor for me?” Mia came through the door and asked,
“Yes, Rae. What is it?” “I need to check out something
very important on the other side of Toyoma. Could you
give me a ride, please?” “Of course, I will. Just let
me get the car keys,” Mia explained as she went back
to the kitchen. “But, Rae, are you sure you want to go
alone?” Lita asked her. “Don’t worry, guys,” Rae
reassured them. “If worst comes to worst, I can always
contact you through our wrist communicators.”

Just then, Mia came back into the dining room, keys in
hand. “Are you ready, Rae?” she asked. “Yes, let’s
go!” As Rae walked toward the front door, she felt a
tug on her wrist. She looked down at Rini, who had
both hands around her wrist. “What is it, Rini?” she
asked. “Here, you might need this,” Rini explained as
she placed the tracer in Rae’s open hand. She smiled
at the brave little girl as she stood up and headed
toward the door. “Good luck, Rae!” Serena shouted.
“Thanks, Serena,” Rae replied before she walked out of
the door. They watched through the window as Rae and
Mia got into the car and left the house...

Meanwhile, Ryo, who was in his red and white
sub-armor, and White Blaze have reached their final
destination. Ryo got off the tiger and looked up at
the massive mountain. “Mount Fuji,” he whispered to
himself, “it’s been a while since I came here.” He
stood there for a moment, staring at the still-active
volcano. He shook out of his trance and turned to
White Blaze. “Come on, boy, let’s go!” Ryo yelled as
the two of them raced toward the base of Mt. Fuji.
They were completely unaware that their enemies were
watching them as they headed toward the base of the
volcano...

“We have a problem, Amethyst,” Topaz stated while
looking at the images of Ryo and White Blaze through
his crystal ball. “It appears that Ryo of Wildfire has
discovered where the Fire Stone is hidden.” “We can’t
allow him to get too close,” Amethyst replied. “The
Fire Stone is almost fully charged. Destroy him, now!”
“Right away, my lady,” he replied as he pulled a
lever, revealing a wide screen and a weapons panel.
The screen turned on, showing the images of Ryo and
White Blaze. Topaz took a seat in front of the screen
and started typing rapidly. After a few moments, he
stopped typing and turned his head toward Amethyst.
“We’re locked on target,” he reported. “Excellent!”
she replied. “Fire!”

Topaz responded by pressing a large red button on his
left. The screen showed Ryo narrowly avoiding a blast
from what appeared to be a bolt of purple lightning.
“You missed, brother!” an angry Amethyst yelled. “I
won’t miss this time, sister,” Topaz muttered as he
pressed the red button again. This time, the blast
apparently found its mark, for the screen showed Ryo
lying on the ground, eyes closed. “That’s one Ronin
Warrior down,” he boasted to his sister. She gave an
evil smile as she added, “And four more to go!”

Meanwhile, back at Mia’s house, the girls were sitting
in the living room, waiting for any word from Rae.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Serena ran to
the door, checked the peephole, and opened the door.
“Hi, guys!” she greeted cheerfully to the four guys
standing there. “Hey, Serena,” Rowen replied as he and
the other three entered the house. “Where’s Ryo and
White Blaze?” Amy asked. “Ryo said he needed some time
to himself,” Cye answered, “so don’t worry about him.
He should be back before sunset.” The four guys took
their seats on the floor. There were a few minutes of
uncomfortable silence. Kento got up and muttered out
loud, “I wonder if Mia has any food out for us.” As he
headed toward the kitchen, he heard Mina say, “Kento,
Mia’s not here.” “Then where is she?” Sage asked. “She
left with Rae half an hour ago,” Lita told him. “Rae
had to check out something very important.” “And what
is that?” Rowen asked them. “Well,” Serena started,
“Rini can explain it better than we can.” The four
boys looked at Rini, who took a deep breath and
repeated what she just said to the Sailor Scouts...

In the meantime, on the other side of Toyoma, Rae was
looking at the tracer’s screen, while Mia drove by
Rae’s directions. “Wait! Stop here, Mia,” Rae
exclaimed. Mia brought the car to a halt and asked,
“What’s wrong, Rae?” “The Fire Stone is nearby,” Rae
replied, while pointing at a mountain. “It’s in there.
I can sense it. You should head back to the house.
I’ll be fine.” “Well, okay,” Mia agreed uncertainly as
Rae got out of the car, “but if you’re going to
explore around Mt. Fuji, please be careful. It’s an
active volcano.” With that, Mia turned the car around
and left Rae at the end of the dirt road.

Rae started heading toward the base of Mt. Fuji, with
several thoughts racing in her head. “That was pretty
clever of them,” she thought, “placing the Fire Stone
inside an active volcano.” As she got closer to the
base of Mt. Fuji, Rae heard a deep roar from her left.
“That sounded like White Blaze. Oh, I hope nothing
happened to Ryo,” she thought as she raced toward the
direction of the sound. She looked around a large
boulder and discovered that she was wrong. There was
Ryo in his sub-armor, lying on the ground unconscious.
White Blaze was standing next to him, with his head
bowed down. The tiger looked up when Rae showed up and
growled a warning. “Take it easy, White Blaze,” she
whispered calmly to the tiger. “I’m going to help
Ryo.” White Blaze seemed to understand her and stepped
back.

After doing a quick check, Rae was relieved to know
that Ryo was still alive. Suddenly, Ryo started to
slowly, but surely, open his eyes. He was surprised to
see Rae standing next to him. “Rae,” he muttered as he
started to get up. “What’s going on?” “I was about to
ask you the same thing,” Rae replied. “This is how I
found you, lying on the ground unconscious.” Ryo sat
there for a moment, holding his hand against his
forehead. “I remember. I was heading up to Mt. Fuji,”
he recalled, pointing to the volcano as he spoke, “and
this blast of purple lightning nearly zapped me. The
next thing I know, you’re here trying to wake me up.”
The two of them stood up and looked in the direction
of Mt. Fuji.

“Why were you going to go inside an active volcano?”
Rae asked. “I go in there,” Ryo started, “to meditate
and to help clear my head. Now it’s my turn. What are
you doing here?” “I’m looking for the Fire Stone, and
I have a feeling it’s inside there,” Rae replied,
pointing at Mt. Fuji. “What’s the Fire Stone?” “Let’s
just say it’s something that the brother-sister team
from the Dark Moon made, and you know that’s not good.
We have to get that stone out of there before the
creature inside it is fully charged.” She started
running toward the mountain until Ryo shouted, “Wait!”


She stopped and turned around. “Why? What’s the
problem?” she asked him. “The heat inside Mt. Fuji is
intense. We should suit up first.” “Right!” Rae took
out her transformation wand and yelled, “Mars Star
Power!” She was instantly transformed into Sailor
Mars. “Very impressive,” Ryo admitted, giving her a
light applause. “Thank you,” Sailor Mars replied.
“Now, it’s your turn.” “Right! Armor of Wildfire! DAO
JIN!” He soon emerged from the light that engulfed
him, wearing the Wildfire armor. “Are you ready?”
Sailor Mars asked. “You bet I am!” he exclaimed.
“Great, let’s go!” she shouted. Ryo, White Blaze and
Sailor Mars continued running to the base of Mt. Fuji.


When they reached the base, Sailor Mars looked up at
the opening at the top of the volcano. “It’s too steep
for us to climb,” she told Ryo. “Do you know a faster
way to get up there?” “You bet I do,” he responded.
Ryo walked over to White Blaze and got on his back as
though he was riding a horse. “Hurry, get on,” Ryo
told Sailor Mars, indicating for her to sit on White
Blaze. “But, can White Blaze support our combined
weight?” Sailor Mars asked. “Of course, he can,” Ryo
replied. “Once, he carried both Rowen and I, and we
were both in our full armor. If White Blaze can carry
Rowen and I, he should have no problem carrying the
two of us to the top of Mt. Fuji.” Now convinced,
Sailor Mars got on White Blaze, right behind Ryo.
“Hang on,” he told her. She held onto Ryo’s waist as
White Blaze started to run up the face of Mt. Fuji...

Meanwhile, up in the spacecraft where the Dark Moon
people dwell, Topaz was watching the image of White
Blaze carrying Ryo and Sailor Mars up the face of Mt.
Fuji. “He’s still alive, isn’t he?” Topaz turned
around and saw his sister standing there.
“Unfortunately, yes, my lady,” he replied. “Ryo of
Wildfire is still alive and continuing his way to the
volcano. There’s more. Sailor Mars is with him.” “It
doesn’t matter if they try to stop us now,” Amethyst
replied. “By the time they reach the Fire Stone, it
will be too late for them to stop the creature from
emerging. They will both perish!” She gave out an evil
chuckle as she watched the threesome through her
brother’s crystal ball...

White Blaze finally reached the top of Mt. Fuji, and
his two riders got off. Sailor Mars walked to the edge
of the volcano and looked around the scorching pit of
lava inside. “Look, Ryo. There it is!” she exclaimed.
“The Fire Stone!” Ryo looked in the direction Sailor
Mars was pointing and saw it: a large red orb resting
on top of a rock jutting out of the center of the lava
pit, which was glowing with a mysterious red light.
The two jumped into the volcano and landed safely on a
rocky ledge. There were several other crags protruding
out of the molten rock. “Wait here,” Ryo told Sailor
Mars before he leapt to the nearest rock. “Be
careful,” she warned him as she watched Ryo make his
way to the Fire Stone.

Leaping from stepping-stone to stepping-stone, Ryo
never kept his eyes off the Fire Stone. He finally
reached the center stone where the red orb laid. He
picked it up and was on his way back when, suddenly,
the ground started to shake vigorously. Ryo lost his
balance and fell into the pool of molten lava.
“RYO!!!” Sailor Mars screamed. She felt it was too
late to save him. Suddenly, she heard a noise that
caused her to look toward the spot where Ryo fell in.
All of a sudden, Ryo emerged from the lava pool and
landed right next to Sailor Mars. Trying to keep back
the tears that were already starting to brim up in her
eyes, Sailor Mars asked, “Ryo, are you all right?” Ryo
turned toward her, and she saw, for the first time,
the white mask that covered his face. “Don’t worry,”
he assured her. “I’m just fine.” “Are you sure?”
Sailor Mars asked as the mask covering Ryo’s face
disappeared into his helmet. “I mean, you just fell
into a lava pit!” “I’m okay, Sailor Mars,” he replied.
“My armor protects me from heat, so I didn’t feel a
thing.” “Yeah, but how did you...?” she started to ask
him.

Before Sailor Mars could finish her question, a steady
blast of lava exploded from the volcano. “Oh, no!
We’re too late to stop it!” she cried out. “Stop
what?” Ryo asked her. Before she could respond, a
creature emerged from the molten blast of lava. She
had burning red eyes that glowed like red-hot coals,
and red and orange hair that stood up like a flame of
a candle. She was wearing a sleeveless red dress with
a slit down the right side of the skirt and red boots.
On her forehead, she bore the symbol of the Dark Moon
family. She looked toward the Ronin Warrior and Sailor
Scout and announced, “I am Flarea, servant to the Dark
Moon Kingdom, and the one who will destroy you both!”

She launched a blast of hot lava straight at them, but
Ryo managed to push Sailor Mars out of the way in
time. When the smoke cleared Ryo and Sailor Mars were
nowhere to be seen. Flarea looked around, but she
couldn’t seem to find them. In the meantime, the two
young heroes were hiding behind a huge boulder. Ryo
carefully watched Flarea while Sailor Mars tried to
contact the Sailor Scouts with her wrist communicator.
“Any luck, yet?” Ryo whispered to her. “It’s no use,”
she whispered back to him. “The heat from the volcano
must be jamming the signal.” “I have an idea,” he
whispered, motioning for White Blaze to come to him.
“The guys should be back at the house by now,” Ryo
explained. “If we send White Blaze to the house, the
guys will know that I’m in trouble, and they’ll come
to help us.”

“That sounds like a good idea,” Sailor Mars whispered,
“but just wait a second.” Ryo and White Blaze watched
as she took off her wrist communicator. “If White
Blaze takes this with him,” she explained while
holding the communicator in her hand, “the girls will
know that I’m with you.” “Okay,” Ryo whispered. “I’ll
distract Flarea, so White Blaze can get out of here
undetected. Once he’s out, you’ll join me.” “Right,”
Sailor Mars agreed with him. As Ryo emerged from the
boulder, with both katanas drawn, to face Flarea,
Sailor Mars watched as White Blaze ran up toward the
top of Mt. Fuji, carrying her communicator in his
mouth. When he reached the top, she breathed a sigh of
relief. “Way to go, White Blaze,” she thought to
herself. “It’s up to you, now.” With that, Sailor Mars
left the safety of the boulder to help out Ryo...

Meanwhile, back at Mia’s house, while the girls were
helping Mia prepare dinner (well, except for Serena),
the guys were waiting in the living room. Rowen was
looking out the window at the sun, which was starting
to go down. “You guys,” he finally admitted. “I’m
concerned about Ryo. He should have been back by now.”
The others nodded in agreement. Just then, a loud
scratching noise came from the front door. “That’s
White Blaze,” Sage replied as Kento made his way to
the door. “Why would he scratch at the door like
that?” “Perhaps Ryo is injured,” Cye muttered slowly
as Kento opened the door and let the tiger inside.
“Well, whatever he is,” Kento retorted as he looked
outside, “he’s not here.”

“What’s this?” Rowen asked as he pointed at something
dangling from White Blaze’s mouth. He approached the
tiger and removed the item from his mouth so everyone
could see. It was a watch or at least it looked like
one, with white wrist straps and a red lid, with a
gold symbol on top of the lid. Rowen took a closer
look at the symbol and realized that it was the symbol
of Mars. “It must belong to Rae,” he thought to
himself. “I better confirm this before I say
anything.” He approached the kitchen door and shouted,
“Excuse me, girls, but could you step out here for a
minute? It’s important.”

The four girls emerged from the kitchen into the
living room. “What’s wrong, Rowen?” Amy asked. “Do you
recognize this?” he asked them, holding up the device.
The girls gasped when they saw what Rowen was holding
up. “That’s Rae’s communicator!” Serena exclaimed. “I
had a feeling it belonged to your friend,” Rowen
responded. “She must be with Ryo, otherwise White
Blaze wouldn’t have brought her communicator to us.”
“Do you know where Ryo would be?” Lita asked the guys.
“He usually goes up to Mt. Fuji to clear his mind,”
Sage replied. “I’ll bet that they’re both inside.”
“Inside a mountain?” Mina asked. “How is that
possible?” “Mt. Fuji is not a mountain,” Kento
retorted, “it’s a volcano!”

“If Rae’s inside the volcano, then the Fire Stone must
be inside as well.”  Everyone turned toward Rini, who
was standing in front of the kitchen doors. “If that’s
true, then Ryo and Rae need our help.” Sage muttered
thoughtfully. “Mia!” he yelled. Mia came into the
living room. “Yes, what is it, Sage?” she asked. “We
need to go to Mt. Fuji immediately,” he told her. “I
need the keys to the jeep.” Mia fished through her
pockets, pulled out the car keys and handed them to
Sage. He thanked her as he and the others made their
way out the front door. “You stay here with Mia,”
Serena instructed Rini before she left. Mia and Rini
watched as Sage, Cye, and the girls piled into the red
jeep and left, followed by Rowen and Kento on White
Blaze...

Meanwhile, back inside Mt. Fuji, Ryo and Sailor Mars
were still fighting against Flarea, who seemed to be
getting stronger with every blow. “MARS CELESTIAL FIRE
SURROUND!” Sailor Mars yelled as the rings of fire
repeatedly struck the creature. “Pathetic!” Flarea
sneered. Ryo took this opportunity to strike her from
behind. He brought his katanas together and yelled
“FLARE UP NOW!” as he brought them down through
Flarea. For a moment, it appeared that Ryo was the
victor, since Flarea collapsed to the ground. “Is it
over?” Sailor Mars asked him. Before Ryo could
respond, they heard an evil chuckle from behind them.
They turned around and there was Flarea, breathing
heavily with fire burning brightly in her eyes. “When
will you two learn that your attacks won’t work on
me?” she asked sarcastically.

“Aww, man,” Ryo replied. “She’s tough. How are we ever
going to destroy this thing?” “I have an idea, Ryo,”
Sailor Mars revealed. “What is it, and make it quick.”
“Attacking her by ourselves isn’t working. I know it’s
a long shot, but if we combine our attacks, it might
be enough to take out Flarea.” “It’s worth a shot.”
They looked up at Flarea, who looked ready to fight
them both. Ryo brought his katanas together and raised
them above his head. “FLARE UP NOW!” “MARS CELESTIAL
FIRE SURROUND!” The combined attacks hit Flarea
head-on. She let out a hideous scream, as her body
became a pile of gray ashes. “All right, we smoked
her,” Ryo cheered. Suddenly, the earth started to
shake violently. Sailor Mars was knocked down to the
ground. “What’s going on?” she asked with fear in her
voice. “The volcano, it’s going to erupt!” Ryo cried
out. “We got to get out of here, now!” He quickly
pulled Sailor Mars up to her feet and they ran as fast
as they could to the mouth of the volcano...

In the meantime, just outside Mt. Fuji, Mia’s red jeep
stopped at the base of the volcano. The doors opened,
and Sage and Cye came out in their sub-armor, followed
by Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, and
Sailor Venus. White Blaze stopped next to the jeep,
letting off Rowen and Kento, who were also in their
sub-armor. Suddenly, they heard a loud rumbling from
Mt. Fuji. “What...was...that?” Sailor Moon slowly
asked. Before anyone could answer, an incredible
explosion of smoke and ashes erupted from the volcano.
The eight heroes went behind the jeep to shield
themselves from the blast.

A few minutes later, which felt more like a few hours
to the four Sailor Scouts and the four Ronin Warriors,
the eruption stopped. Ashes fell down heavily and
smoke blanketed the immediate area like a thick fog.
The eight heroes stepped out from behind the jeep and
cautiously walked toward the base of the volcano. “I
wonder,” Cye thought aloud, “if Ryo and Rae are all
right.” “I’ll see if I can find them,” Sailor Mercury
replied as she touched her earring and her visor
appeared. “Any sign of them, Sailor Mercury?” Rowen
asked as she looked toward Mt. Fuji. “There’s no trace
of them in the volcano at all,” she answered. “I think
we might be…No, wait a minute!” She pointed toward the
smoke in front of her. “There they are, coming
straight toward us!” she cried. “Ryo! Rae!” Sage
yelled through cupped hands. “Can you hear me?”

“You don’t need to yell, Sage!” Ryo shouted. “We heard
you!” The eight heroes sighed with relief as they
watched Ryo and Sailor Mars emerge from the smoke
screen surrounding them. “Are you all right, guys?”
Sailor Moon asked with concern in her voice. “We’re
just fine, Sailor Moon,” Sailor Mars retorted. “Come
on, let’s go back to Mia’s,” Ryo said. “We both could
use some rest.” As they prepared to leave Mt. Fuji,
the ten heroes didn’t notice Topaz appear above the
mouth of the volcano. He stretched out his hand above
the bubbling pool of lava. Suddenly, a spurt of lava
burst, and the Fire Stone rose out of the lava pool
and landed in Topaz’s open hand. He gave out a
sinister laugh as he disappeared with the Fire Stone
