On indirectly bringing Urawa/Greg into the AU

[waterfell]

He was speaking seriously. That boy would rather die than live like this.

And yet, even with his form already changed, he'd try to protect someone. His fate might not change, but somehow, I don't want to see him give up.

[waterfell]

Worrying about him is starting to hold you back.

[lead_shitennou]

I worry about him because I love him. That will not change.

[waterfell]

Do you think that sort of thing has anything to do with our life in the Darkness?

[lead_shitennou]

Perhaps. Even though we live in dark times, our love cannot be removed. I will protect Zoisite until the end of time.

[waterfell]

And before, in the past life, was it the same?

[lead_shitennou]

Without Beryl, it was peace. Endymion....he treated us an equals almost.

[waterfell]

The man who abandoned you and turned his weapon on his own men to defend the enemy?

[Yes, Serenity is 'the enemy'.]

[lead_shitennou]

He was a darn sight better than Beryl.

[waterfell]

Beryl can also be taken out. [The two have nothing to do with each other. Don't compare them, get rid of both.]

[lead_shitennou]

Taken out... [He breathed.]

You cannot defeat her, Mercury. She is dangerously powerful.

[waterfell]

[Not alone, no; but she hadn't been alone.

Of course, she doesn't dim her boast by saying that part.]

Beryl is already gone.

[lead_shitennou]

Of course she is. [He rolled his eyes.]

[waterfell]

If you doubt that, why not see it for yourself?

[lead_shitennou]

Perhaps our timelines differ, Mercury.

[waterfell]

That's why I said I'll let you see it.

[lead_shitennou]

See it?.... [He was sceptical.]

Very well.

[waterfell]

Beryl has power, but she's also a fool. Remember that. [It's the key to getting rid of her, really.]

[lead_shitennou]

A fool? Tch. [He frowned then clenched his jaw.]

One that can end your life in a heartbeat.

[waterfell]

And yet, she hasn't touched me. Don't you think there's a reason for that?

[lead_shitennou]

She doesn't need to touch you because what quarrel has she with you? You are no longer with Sailor Moon, so there is no need.

[He studied her expression.] Don't be so cocky, Mercury.

[waterfell]

[More truthfully in Mercury's world, Beryl would have been pleased to see the senshi interloper - Kunzite's puppet, and not hers - dead. But it would have provoked the shitennou's leader, and she wasn't ready, yet, for that. Not while he, and his toy, could be useful to her own plans as well.

But Mercury does not say this last part.]

She never once gave me welcome in the Dark Kingdom.

[lead_shitennou]

Oh, I see. So, this has to do with her not letting you into the Dark Kingdom? Ah, I see. You feel left out?

I'd gladly let you in....but Beryl would not approve I think.

[waterfell]

[He's taunting her. Her eyes narrow.]

I'll make my way where I want to go for myself.

[lead_shitennou]

Is that so? I wasn't joking when I said I'd let you into the Dark Kingdom, Mercury.

[waterfell]

You forget. I'm already there.

Are you saying you want me for yourself instead?
