"Please have patience, my Queen," Danburite spoke, keeping himself bowed before the woman. "I have made contact with both Zoisite and men I believe to be Jadeite and Nephrite. It was much too soon to act upon my plans." He conveniently left out the part about having Zoisite under his thumb for the time being. That was not information the Queen really needed. All she needed to hear was the progress he was making; the details were none of ehr concern.

Queen Beryl nodded, it was certainly progress at least. "Jadeite and Nephrite were always the most loyal, though only one of them was particularly useful. Zoisite and Kunzite were another matter." She spoke mostly to herself, but also for Danburite to hear. Beryl scrutinized the man bowed before her, wondering about his intentions. "Tell me, what are your plans for the Shitennou once they are returned to the Dark Kingdom? You said before that you wished to have control of them."

(I do hope it's okay for me to come back here now... sorry for leaving before! crying )
Rei would shift slightly on her feet as she awaited the answer from Usagi, pertaining to the new Shitennou that she had seen and mentioned. There had to be some link, some reason that now the one, Danubrite, she remembered, was coming back into her visions and giving off bad omens. Perhaps he had been shunned in favor of another? Perhaps his heart was not pure enough to guard the Prince of Earth? Anything was possible.
Artemis nudged Luna some. "If we still have our power, then they certainly have it within them as well. It's worth a shot, isn't it?" Green eyes peered down at his companion, before glancing over the five girls, they had their memories, they knew what to do, he didn't see why it wouldn't work even without the Ginzouhishou.

Luna gave an enthusiastic nod in response to Artemis. "Minako-chan was able to turn into Sailor V without the Ginzuishou, too, so it is possible to henshin without it," the young girl added confidently. Looking at Artemis and then at the girls, she proceeded. "Do you remember what it felt like the first time any of you transformed? It may not help but at least we have somewhere to start, ne?"~*~ "My plans for the Shitennou? Why, I wish to help pave the way for the Dark Kingdom to gain the glory it so deserves. I wish to do nothing more than serve you, my Queen, with the aid of the Shitennou. I do not wish to offend you, Beryl-sama, but I may be able to better control them as I am one of them," Danburite explained, still bowing. He kept his tone humble lest the woman figure out he had other reasons for controlling the Shitennou.

He appeared sincere enough to Queen Beryl, but something about his story still seemed a bit off. "Very well. What are your plans now?" she asked, curious about the next phase in his strategy.

"They have the focus, I know that." Artemis said to Luna, quietly for the moment, since the girls were having some sort of discussion about what Rei had seen in the fire, about the new Shitennou, or enemy as it was perhaps turning out to be. "The Ginzouhishou was powerful, it had effects on you and I, and they are still here." Something he was thankful for, personally, it was easier to get around as a human, and not be stared at TOO much for being a stuffed animal following after a human. Sure the white hair and green eyes attracted attention, but it was a small price to pay for being helpful, more so than before. "There is a way Luna-chan, I know it."

Makoto remembered it as if it was yesterday. "I was remembering my parents and their death. I knew I was alone, but then Usagi took my hand and I henshined for the first time." she explained, telling a story only Usagi would know.

"I'm sorry I put you on the spot so abruptly, Jadeite, but somehow I feel like I know the man from somewhere," Mamoru told him. He thought back to his head-splitting headache and knew there had to be some sort of connection. He had first sensed that they were lying when Zoisite gave such a weak explanation. Zoisite was one who would give very many details, but this time, it just seemed like he was leaving things out. That as well as Zoisite and Jadeite flashing many looks at each other. 'A man who knows Zoisite...there are quite few of those. It can't be...from the past?' Mamoru thought over in his head.
When Usagi thought about Mamoru the scenes of him griping his head in pain popped back up. "He looked like he had a horrible headache in front of the Crown and he seemed to be mumbling about his past..." Usagi stated what she remembered. "But he's never mentioned another Shitennou..." A rush of worry overwhelmed Usagi again while she thought of Mamoru. Was he ok? "I was thinking of Naru-chan when I transformed, but I was very scared. It was sort of a mix of emotions..." she answered Luna.

"Bad memories and ties of friendship seem to be the things triggering Henshin..." Artemis commented as he glanced then to Rei, hoping she would answer as well.
"I remember thinking about..." Rei glanced around then and shuffled her feet. "Wanting to help Usagi-chan and Ami-chan... and wanting to help the girls in need when I first henshined..." She admitted it, there. As hard as it was for the loner of the group to admit it, that was what she had been thinking.
"And the connection proves true again." Artemis said with a nod as he would not laugh at Rei for what she said, it was just proving what he had said before. Friends, wanting to help, bad memories, they seemed to awaken the power within. "If you can feel those things again, the urges to help people, your friendship bond, I'm sure you can henshin again."

As he walked, Zoisite became more and more frustrated. It would take him at least another ten minutes to reach the house by foot. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to help Danburite. There had been a time when Danburite had been as loyal a Shitennou as any of them and Zoisite had tried to forget that time, thinking that there was no point in mourning the past. But after seeing Danburite again, the thought that the fifth Tennou could be returned to them, to him...
Zoisite looked around quickly. He could see no one that he recognized in his immediate vicinity, and took this moment to turn down a smaller side street. Once he knew that he was out of sight, he reverted back to his Tennou form. He hadn't been in his old uniform since assuming his human identity, but now was not the time to think about how good it felt to be back. He needed to be in this form to teleport, and quickly did so, returning to Kunzite's home.

Looking up, Danburite gave a rather malicious smirk to the Queen. "Now I intend to divide and conquer the Shitennou, starting with their weakest members: Jadeite. I wish to use your shadow-girl to help me further confront your former warriors as well as to keep the Senshi busy."

Queen Beryl nodded. "You may use her," she replied. "Have you seen any of the Senshi yet? Though, I suppose you would not recognize them if you did."

It was true, he could not clearly identify the Senshi on Earth but he had his suspicions. That group of youg women that Mio had been bothering, the ones with Kunzite...
"This is where I believe that shadow will come in use. She seems to know a great deal about the present world and the Sailor Senshi." He would have troubles telling the Shitennou, he knew their auras (Jadeite, however, being an exception) as well as the Master's. They would be easy to locate, especially since he had interacted with them that day.

"Very well. You may proceed, Beryl said before she was silent for a moment. As Mio was her shadow, the two were always linked in someway, and Beryl took this moment to communicate the plans.
'I would like you to assist Danburite with his plans, but keep an eye on him as well. I don't trust him completely.'Zoisite reappeared near his piano. A quick inspection showed him that he was alone in the house, which was lucky as he didn't want to have to explain his appearance.
He sat at the piano quickly and lifted the key cover, but then paused. The piece he planned to use to try and link with Danburite he hadn't played since the past life. Not since the former Tennou had been banished. It wasn't as though Zoisite had forgotten how to play it, it just brought back so many memories.
He closed his eyes and placed his gloved fingers on the keys.Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 in E-flat major

"No, please don't apologize, Master! I should have just told you the truth." Jadeite walked in silence for a little while, thinking about the events of the day. He didn't like the fact that he knew nothing about what was going on. He had some questions, and even though the Master seemed to be busy thinking, he finally had to ask. "Master, why does it seem that both you and Zoisite might know this man? He didn't seem familiar to me. And do you think he may be dangerous to us?"
