Tsukino Usagi: "You need quite the opposite, stepmother—you need to be protected from your own pride." Tenrai retorted as she continued to observe her, her blue eyes firm. "Stepmother I know you more than you think I do…I know you don't need to be protected, you have enough power to handle yourself as you've demonstrated before. Why do you think I didn't intervene when you fought that Dark Being before? I know what to expect from you. You don't like to admit when you're unwell, you're too proud. Pride can easily lead to one's downfall…" She would point her index finger towards her as she mentally began to chant a Kage healing spell. She would only say what she said towards Graceson out loud if they were by themselves. If they weren't she would speak them mentally towards her. "My duty presently is to watch over you in order to ensure that you don't overstep your own limits… (c)
Tsukino Usagi: I foresaw this without father having to instruct me. Even I can tell when you're slipping, stepmother. I told you back in your room that I would aid you…and I'd follow your lead, but I'm not about to let you harm yourself out of your desire to not let others see your weakness as a result of your pride. You are a person too, stepmother. Everyone will understand and I don't think anyone would take it personally if you cannot maintain your duties as a result of your current state." Tenrai said calmly, if she was able to she would attempt to utilize that Kage healing spell on her. "I'm going with you to find your Captain." Meanwhile when Serenity heard Ella speak she gazed towards her emotionless, her hands folded in front of her stomach in her typical style. "Ella…we need to talk, calmly." Serenity said, although she was worried about the Venus Knight that (c)
Tsukino Usagi: she had only encountered a few times before, she needed to see to Ella first. She knew that even if she tried to aid them in their task to retrieve the Venus Knight, her presence alone would have compromised it all. "If Victor's appearance today hasn't taught us anything…then what are we doing?" Serenity closed her eyes briefly. "We are both to blame for that, and we need to realize that if we're going to get anywhere… We cannot hate each other. We need to learn to cooperate with each other and learn to compromise even if we don't like it. This isn't the Outer Being realm; the people here have a different way of doing things." Serenity breathed deeply as she would then look towards the direction of the Moon Kingdom from where they were at and then back towards Ella. "I want to make the most of our new lives…and start fresh. It's time we both started looking (c)
Tsukino Usagi: towards the future and set the past aside. If not for our sake, but for at the very least for Nomen's sake. You have Nomen's memories do you not?" Serenity asked calmly. "If you do…you'd know how much stress he's been under. The last thing he needs is us bickering at each other and releasing hatred for things that happened in the past. If you're willing to start anew…I will be too." Serenity gazed towards Ella softly, holding out her hand for her to take. Meanwhile Voima arched a brow when she heard Wiseman, knowing very well that Kenshi's current state was a result of chance and not hard work. She merely chuckled at the thought. "Dear if you intend on getting that boy back when you cannot control him…I'd advise thinking of a plan before jumping into action. That boy…intrigues me…" Placing her index finger against her chin as she reminisced about his transformation, Voima was interested about it. (c)
Tsukino Usagi: "I don't think the revelation of this planet's whereabouts is of any concern." Meanwhile Usagi when she found herself teleported to the Crystal Palace as a result of holding Chibiusa, Usagi was baffled only to watch Chibiusa frantically look for Kenshi. "Hey, wait a minute!" Usagi shouted and ran towards her. It was her daughter's tears that made her place her palms on her shoulder, a concerned, motherly look appeared on her features that was rare for Usagi to express since her children were older now. "Chibiusa…do you remember what happened when the Black Moon first took my friends? What you're going through right now…is exactly how I felt. We're not going to let anything happen to Kenshi, but you need to stay here. He went to help you for a reason. I don't think…he'd want anything to happen to you. I'll use my power to locate him but you need to promise me that you'll stay here, okay?" (e)
Chibiusa: Chibiusa was shaking horribly, he was nowhere around the castle ground. So he had to be somewhere towards the tower right? “KENSHI!!” She called out with tears rolling down her cheeks. The young princess was going to teleport again until feeling her mother grab onto her. A small gasp escaping, she must of accident teleported her mother too. “M-Mom..” Listening to her, Chibs nodded her head some. She did indeed remember that time when the Dark Moon came and took her friends. She was so small back then and had no real control over her powers, because they were not unlocked yet. Not to mention they changed her into black lady. Clenching her fist some, the senshi bites her bottom lip. “I...I can’t mom...I can’t just stay here...” Grabs at her glove and pulled it off to show a ring. “He’s the man I plan to marry! So I want to go and help find him!” -e-
Kenshi Aino: Graceson’s eyes had been looking to Tenrai while listening to her speak. Closing her eyes the female thought silently to herself. When opening her eyes the female slowly eased her head off the wall after the healing spell took effect upon her. “ Fine Tenrai it seems I can’t talk you out of not coming along with me. You may in company me. There is something you must know about Kenshi Aino. His teachings in the field of combat are just as in-depth as yours with some differences. Long range Kenshi’s aim is flawless.. He can take down the smallest object from great distances . Mid to close range he is just as dangerous. If Wise Man has turned Kenshi evil bringing him back isn’t going to be an easy task. I’d do it myself but .. “ her hand was placed upon her stomach. “ You want to protect me than you will have to combat Kenshi. One thing you have to be wary of is ... He is unorthodox. He figures tactics out which not many would think of to combat more advanced things. Don’t underestimate (c)
Kenshi Aino: him Tenrai and don’t try to kill him... Let's go “ She called out and raised her hand out for Tenrai’s. Ella meanwhile would simply look in Serenity’s direction. “ Let go and start anew. “ Shifting her body she moved in front of Serenity “ I can never forgive him for what he did.. “ She called out to her. Have the one you love the most betray you and toss you aside and tell me how that feels before you try telling me to start a new. Feel the pain I have felt and then try saying that Serenity. If my son did that toward you... I don’t think that would be something you’d be able to endure so don’t try to be the light in my path Selene. I will allow Usagi and Mamoru’s marriage to resume. I will allow their children to carry on but what you ask of me to do I cannot. Now.... leave me alone. “ She said and shifted again to allow herself to just float in the middle of space. Upon the Tokyo Towers Kenshi and Mitsukai had been but a few inches from one another when Mitsukai took the bold (c)
Kenshi Aino: chance of moving closer to Kenshi. “ Kenshi meanwhile would tilt his head “ Still you try to speak to me as if I know or care for the words you speak of Moon Prince. I have only one agenda .. To kill you and anyone else who stands in my way. “ Mitsukai would raise his hands up “ I told you man , I’m not fighting you... Our mothers are best friends.. Were best friends.. Come on when we were kids we hung out .. You remember that martial arts tournament we attended we made it to the finals just to both shake hands and both forfeit at the same time cause we didn’t want to fight one another. They had no choice but to split the prizes between us bro.. Come on.. “ he said and clenched his fist raising it up to Kenshi . Kenshi would blink listening to Mitsukai. He didn’t remember any of this , he didn’t much know who Mitsukai was just that he had a strong craving to kill him . Raising his fist he was about to fist bump Mitsukai though in a burst of speed he punched Mitsukai (c)
Kenshi Aino: right across his face sent him falling off the Tokyo Towers. “ Soft hearted idiot and his rambling lies of a story. “ he called out. Chiba’s left eye closed upon the impact and trying to regain his balance the male managed to grasp on to a steel rod of the tower. Kenshi noticing such would jump off the tower only to use the Venus Chain to swing from the Tower to kick Mitsukai off the tower again “ again Chiba would fall his back slamming upon a rod of the tower. Kenshi landing on his feet shook his head “ Just your hostile neighborhood Moon Prince killer swinging through. “ Kenshi ironically still had that cocky sass to him even dark it was just a personality trait. Coughing some Mitsukai slowly sat up “ Kenshi.. I’m not gonna fight you.. “ He said shaking his head. Glaring at Mitsukai he raised his finger up at the male “Cause your too weak to fight me ... you and your lies can die.. “ he said while a yellow flicker of energy could be seen building from Kenshi’s index finger. (c)
Kenshi Aino: Mitsukai knew very well what that attack was. Kenshi was building energy for the “ Super Venus Crescent Beam . “ Kenshi snap out of it ! “ he yelled out . Kenshi only chuckled and raised his index finger from Mitsukai and toward the innocent people below them “ I wonder how many of these people I can kill ... Maybe that will spark you to be more of a challenge !! I’ll start with those in the streets.. “ Maybe the two girls walking across the street coming from school.. Pick one A-man.. .. I can shoot them without even looking. Mitsukai again raised his hands up “ WOAH WAIT NO.. Kenshi.. Listen to me.. You don’t want to do that.. You're going to regret that... You called me A-man.. You always call me A-man .. Don’t you remember.. “ Kenshi would blink having not even noticed he said “ A-Man. “ Shut up.. “ he called out and built up the energy more “ PICK YOUR LIFE OR THERES OR ARE YOU GOING TO FIGHT ME ! “ Lowering his head Mitsukai shook his head and grasped on to his hair . (c)
Kenshi Aino: Suddenly the male lowered his hands and raised his head. The crescent moon symbol formed upon his forehead and Mitsukai would increase his power going into his Imperial form. A wide grin showed upon Kenshi’s face “ Ah there it is.. That pure moon glow in which I detest... I’m going to have fun slowly killing you. “ Wise-Man meanwhile would just look to Voima “ well I think it does matter if they find the location of this new planet I have formed. It’s ability to bring out their darkness is why. BAH .. Let's just go woman and no being interested in the boy. He is nothing but a TOOL . A tool in which I will regain control over. I have a plan. I simply will wipe his memory to that of a blank shell.. All I need is his power... I’ll kill his fighting ability intact .” (e)
Minako Aino: "Venus!" Minako held out that hand which her symbol glowed in her left palm. Orange lip gloss shined brightly upon her lips, lifting that gloved hand to blow a kiss. A multi-shade color heart could be seen, as she moved her hand down and around. Letting those hearts multiply around her waist. "Love and Beauty shock!" Those hearts would form into one with an air bubble around it. It would be sent between Kenshi and Mitsukai, as if they were too close to it. It would cut like a sword, as Venus landed softly upon the Tokyo tower beam. Those bright blue eyes staring between Kenshi and Mitsukai. "Enough!! No one is killing anyone.." Her attention turned to Kenshi. "Kenshi..this isn't you. You are not like this, i am your mother. You do not want to kill Mitsukai, nor the other way around. You will regret it if you do...please listen to me Kenshi..." Minako would move to take a few steps forward to Kenshi. Minako didn't know how she was going to bring Kenshi back, but she was not going to -c-
Minako Aino: abandon her son. Venus didn't even want to fight her son either, but if it came down to it. She would have no other choice. Left gloved hand going to be placed on that chain, that hung around her waist. -e-
Tsukino Usagi: "Stepmother…me accompanying you wasn't optional." Tenrai said nonchalantly as she listened to Graceson provide information regarding Kenshi. She wasn't the type of person to easily back down when orders were given, it was something she learned being on the Kage High Council. Kage's were usually fighters who didn't require much movement to perform their abilities; they were capable of releasing spells at any particular range. If the spell required movement normally it was minimal at best depending on how complex it was but the outcome of it varied. In Tenrai's case considering she was capable of using the power aspect of Kage abilities it granted her a bit more freedom. What Tenrai lacked was real combat experience and she briefly wondered how she'd fair against a knight of this realm who likely had more experience than her considering the chaotic state of this realm. There was a difference between training and actually fighting somebody in a real battle. (c)
Tsukino Usagi: Tenrai briefly considered if her time in this realm wasn't to get to know Graceson's family but to rather get that experience that she needed, perhaps getting to know the Aino family was simply an excuse? "Acknowledged," she responded calmly and took Graceson's hand. "The goal is to restrain him am I correct?" Meanwhile Serenity remained impassive when Ella talked about her grievances. Lowering her head she sighed. "When I was inside the Eternity Main System there were times when I truly wished that he did do that to me, but that was under an entirely different circumstance. Would I like it now?" She would turn her head away. "No…I wouldn't. I would be conflicted, certainly. I'd wonder why I had to watch him go through all that effort into bringing me back only to toss all that hard work aside. But Gaiken is dead, Ella...it wouldn't hurt to get to know Endymion." She would redirect her attention to Ella. "I don't expect you to forgive Gaiken for anything he's done to you, but (c)
Tsukino Usagi: give Endymion a chance. He's done so much for Serenity…even died for her. I think that separates him from his father does it not?" Serenity gave Ella a soft smile, but it was her request that made her inwardly sigh. "Very well. I'll be returning to the Moon Palace." With that Serenity would teleport away. Meanwhile Usagi was baffled at Chibiusa's revelation to her engagement. How the hell did something like that slip right by her!? Her jaw agape, Usagi wasn't sure what to say! She was happy for Chibiusa, she really was—but for it to go on behind her back like that!? She wondered how long it had been going on, she knew they were childhood friends and that even complicated things! "Listen, Chibiusa! That's an even bigger reason to stay here!" She exclaimed. "We'll talk about your engagement to Kenshi later, but you need to stay here. If something were to happen to you how do you think he'd feel?! Chibiusa, when Mamo-chan was killed in my past life….(c)
Tsukino Usagi: I was heartbroken enough to forfeit my life. I don't want the same thing to happen to you, so…you know, just stay put and keep that ring hidden from your father!" Meanwhile Voima simply shrugged. "You're a dark being you'll be able to work around it even without this damn planet." It was Wiseman's words which made her inch closer to him, gazing towards him with an innocent look on her face. "You wouldn't be jealous of my interest in the boy, would you? I see him as a tool as well…but a cute little tool that I wouldn't mind serving me a glass of wine. But fine, let's go." (e)
Chibiusa: Slips her glove back on to cover up her ringed hand and gave a deep sigh. “What am I supposed to do? Just wait for everyone else to take action and I do nothing?” She said after hearing her mother talk about her past self-committing suicide over her father's death. Running her hands over her face, the pink haired princess would give a bit of sigh. “Fine...I will just...stay here at the castle. Just..” The girl steps over and placed her face on her mother's shoulder. Sniffling a little bit and having some tears run down her cheeks. “Just please bring him back to me...” The senshi would soon transform back into her regular self and pulled away. Slowly walking off toward the castle without another word. -e-
Kenshi Aino: Mitsukai looking in Sailor Venus’s direction after her attack went between both himself and Kenshi the male would raise his hand out to her . “ Minako !! Stay back ! “ He called out to her and looked to Kenshi. “ He’s not in his right mind. Wise Man did something to him. You got to trust me... “ Even with Minako’s training given to her by her father Imperial Knights like Mitsukai and Kenshi were on a whole different scale. Mitsukai held an Outer being form and Kenshi , the male was an up roar of hidden potential in which was growing through out every battle. He was a Knight greatly underestimated. While being ranked as an A ranked Knight the male had done feats that was said was the skills of an S+ Knight. Kenshi’s eyes went wide almost in a crazed manner “ Oh look a senshi for me to rip to pieces. Make your move Moon Knight ! Or this Senshi will be yet another person you couldn’t help ! “ He called out while shifting his finger in Minako’s direction. Again Mitsukai spoke out (c)
Kenshi Aino: toward Minako “ GET OUT OF HERE NOW... Look I know he’s your son but you just have to trust me on this.... PLEASE “ He snapped out at Minako. His eyes quickly looked to Kenshi “ No!.. “ he called out and pointed to himself “ You come at me.. You leave these people alone. You and me bro “ Kenshi’s eyes narrowed upon Mitsukai and the male’s power increased even further a yellowish flash could be seen . The Venus symbol formed upon his forehead while his eyes gave that same yellowish tent again “ Kenshi had tapped right into his imperial form but the rate of power which he was giving off was far higher then what he normally did. This even surprised Mitsukai to some extent . “ Man... I always knew Kenshi was reserved but damn he’s just as powerful as I was before Fong’s training ! No way this is going to be easy. “ he thought to himself. Kenshi without warning then would take off running right toward Mitsukai . That yellow sash flowing along his body he would pull off only to swing (c)
Kenshi Aino: it like a whip toward Mitsukai “ DIE ! “ He called out . Jumping back the sash touched only strains of his hair cutting the strains. When Kenshi swung the sash again he moved to wrap it along Mitsukai’s left arm. “ It was then Mitsukai pulled forward to force Kenshi closer toward him.. With a wide grin however his other hand would reveal a charging Venus Crescent Beam building and flickering at his fingertips . “ Can you dodge ! He called out “ Using Zero Shift however he’d teleport right from the grasp . Kenshi only smiled . He couldn’t sense Mitsukai so why was he smiling his instincts , that unpredictable manner which was explained to Tenrai of how Kenshi fought was coming into play. When Chiba re-phased behind Kenshi the male simply closed his eyes waiting for when he sensed Chiba’s energy . Turning around he shot off the Crescent Beam in Mitsukai’s direction. Mitsukai using the Moon Beam would counter the very beam causing both attacks to cancel one another. “ Cheeky little (c)
Kenshi Aino: moon punk. “ He called out. “ For someone who does not know me your reading how I fight pretty good.... Ever ask yourself how? Kenshi only shifted around slowly using his sash to circle along his body “ I simply just fight better than you... “ What about your powers? Mitsukai called out “ Their just like hers... your mothers.. “ SHE’S NOT MY MOTHER ! “ Kenshi snapped out only to charge at Mitsukai. Wise man meanwhile would watch through a small orb upon the interesting turn of events with Mitsukai , Minako and Kenshi .” Voima do you think we should wait to see if Kenshi kills the moon brat to take Kenshi ? “ he asked tilting his head. Graceson meanwhile would teleport herself upon the Tokyo Towers. High heights and being pregnant didn’t mix .. “ I feel like I’m going to gag .. “ Graceson whispered to herself only to notice the conflict between Mitsukai and Kenshi . “ Kenshi.. “ She called out . “ Kenshi stopped moving toward Mitsukai when seeing Graceson “ It seems like everyone (c)
Kenshi Aino: is coming to their deaths today oh the joy. “ (e)
Tsukino Usagi: "For now, yes," Usagi confirmed Chibiusa's comment and sighed. "I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I didn't go off and commit suicide like I did….if I'd known mother had the power to resurrect people, I wonder what would have happened if I asked her to resurrect Mamo-chan for me…" She confessed, turning her head away as she admitted one of her biggest regrets. But if she'd done that, she knew she wouldn't have had the life she had now and gotten to know her wonderful friends the way she had. Usagi would hug Chibiusa when she placed her head on her shoulder, knowing fully how she felt. "We'll do everything in our power to bring back Kenshi, I promise." Releasing her daughter from her embrace, Usagi would watch as Chibiusa walked away, briefly wondering if she would go against her wishes. She was determined to bring Kenshi back not only for Chibiusa's sake but for also Minako's. Closing her eyes briefly, Usagi would reenter her Sailor Cosmos form with (c)
Tsukino Usagi: the absence of her cape and wings. Kneeling down Usagi would place her hand against the ground, closing her eyes as she'd use her power in order to begin to attempt to locate Kenshi. Tenrai meanwhile had been beside Graceson once they both appeared at Tokyo Tower. Hearing Kenshi's words her own eyes narrowed, moving in front of Graceson as she crossed her arms. "Stepmother I think it is best you leave…looks like your hunch was proven correct." She responded nonchalantly, completely unfazed by the situation at hand. Tenrai didn't know Kenshi and had only just met him therefore her judgment wasn't based upon emotions like most present. However as a Kage, Tenrai took her duty seriously. She would only abide by Graceson's orders not to kill him, but if it was up to her the simple fact that he became dark was enough of a reason to kill him. Meanwhile Voima being close enough to look into the orb would shrug. "If there's one thing I recall from the previous incident with the Dark Moon (c)
Tsukino Usagi: was that the White Moon's friendship overpowered your control. Now that Youma displayed some independence… I wonder how much you're willing to let fall from your grasp?" Voima asked calmly. (e)
Minako Aino: Minako's eyes widen when the battle between Kenshi and Mitsukai had begun, but what hurt her the most when Kenshi denounced that she wasn't his mother. Those white gloved fists clenched, as she was not going to take that. Minako knew that he was under Wiseman's control but still. Her form vanished from where it was only to appear in front of Kenshi. Gloved hands reaching out in an attempt to grasp Kenshi's cheeks. Her eyes looking into his. "Tell me...right now, by looking me in the eyes...that I am not your mother." Venus was serious on this, as her eyes were showing deep pain. "Me and your father were their when you were first born. I watched you take your first baby steps. I was there whenever you scrapped your knee, or when you got hurt…I sang you a lullaby when you had nightmares...I watched both you and Mitsukai grow up to become fine adults...now tell me how I cannot be your mother Kenshi!" (c)
Minako Aino: Minako's voice picked up a bit, as she didn't care what would happen to her. If she even did grasp Kenshi's cheeks, she would try to pull him into a hug. Minako was holding back tears, as she whispered in her mind 'please Venus...give me the power to give me my son back..' Her own Venus energy would begin to outline her form, as she opened her lips to begin to sing softly. The lullaby she used to sing to Kenshi when she was little." Leading to the miracle...that i am holding now...When you cry, we still rejoice...please understand how much we love you." Granted, usually people wouldn't dare to do this. But Minako loved her son, even though it seemed a bit crazy what she was doing. When she did sing, her Venus energy would give off a few pulses. The light of her energy trying to envelope and enter Kenshi's body. Wanting him to remember all the times they were together (c)
Minako Aino: from when he was a child up till he joined the knights. Setsuna would appear behind Queen Serenity, as got to one knee. Bowing to her. "Queen Serenity, I am sorry for my absence...but i was busy investigating something." When she was given the task to rise up, she would. Standing on those Garnet colored boots. "I've been doing some research...what if we could bring Wiseman astral body and make it real?" Setsuna was serious about this plan. "I was investigating some things...apparently, many priestess can bring a phantoms to a physical form...maybe if we do that and can injure Wiseman. We can have a brief moment of peace.." Her idea wasn't too farfetched. Astrea was watching everything that was going on from above the others. One leg crossed over the other, as she finally replaced her black dress that Wiseman ruined. Long blonde locks blew freely with the nice breeze. She even wore a small Santa hat. "Hmm...humans...can be quite fascinating.." Muttering under her breath, as her palm rested (c)
Minako Aino: against her cheek. "I wonder how my Nephew will react if his plan back-fires...again.." The woman was on neither side. This body was just a shell, as her true body lied somewhere in the milky-way. Forever cased in ice that the hottest flames could not break, as deep down she longed for her original body. Tired of her mind going from body to body. Naturally she didn't do anything for either sides but watch. Letting the events unfold themselves, and would step in if need to be. (e)
