Zia had flopped on the couch as the other two took the loveseat, and sort of looked like she'd fall asleep right there. She at least had the courtesy to curl up so she wasn't taking up the whole thing.
"The royals have Great Crystals," She said in the midst of a long yawn. "The Moon Princess can purify servants of Chaos, which, I think means, if she was around we wouldn't even be having this Negaverse problem in the first place. That's why she's so important. And Chibimoon's a stupid twit," She said in a grumpy mumble. She didn't know too much about Chibimoon, except for the post-Elysion BMC meeting. Obviously her opinions-- or rather, Zirconia's-- hadn't changed much.
"I am curious where the Prince's crystal ended up. Helios vanished with it in Elysion, I think."
She opened one eye to glance at her little cousin and her family theory. "You're close, I think. The senshi here are all mixed up. I don't know what happened but it's like you've all be gone for centuries. Now you're all confused and scattered and don't remember who you were. The Negaverse knows who they are. They know what they're doing."
She caught herself mumbling and rambling and just kind of buried her face into a couch cushion. "Anywaaaay..." She yawned out wistfully, giving pause to see what Lily had to say.

Lily nodded, " your right Istas, on pretty much all those points, but we will come back to that. Instead lets go back to a year and half ago."
"That's when I was wakened in march after I turned 16. ********* found me at the community center, gave me a henshin pen and helped me defeat a mud monster youma. Unfortunately, that did not really include any explanation of senshi or our war. As far as I knew I was suppose to take out youma, because they ate starseeds, which they seems not to really do anymore."
She looked at the other's who were listening to her story. "I battled youma and met other senshi, you know the normal. Met and got my behind handed to me by a few negaversers. Then I met Europa, a brilliant senshi who know knowledge is power. She formed a team called the basterds which at the time was one of just a few teams. Still back then we weren't many senshi. There weren't even any parallels back then. No Zirc, No Gaia, No Ares none of them."
She took a breath and continued, "the basis of the team was to gather information and learn what would could about the war. Our team consisted of first Europa, Bellatrix, Pyxis, Polaris, Regulus, Pomona, Myself, guardian cat Abel, Eos and Castor. Castor left early on, Eos disappeared, and Themis, my cousin, joined us later. Together we discovered a few thing."
"Important thing number one, this has happened before in Tokyo. There was a Sailor V active back then, around the 1980's. Europa was the one to gather that information unfortunately it was in Japanese which we can't read. Google wasn't much help and Sailor V disappeared so there was no asking her, right?"
She shook her head, "We gathered information on negaversers and all understood the senshi were looking for the moon princess, but not really why, just that she is the supposed leader. Part of the team is partly responsible for the negaverse database. Though Zia is right, I'm pretty sure her statement is why the white moon is looking for the moon princess."
She looked around, "I'm no longer sure how relevant that is, but onward to other things, yes? Like the cavalier that disappeared, the talking alien tree, starseeds, the comma, the rainbow crystal and cryptic message from the not a princess and what not?"

Chris smiled softly at Istas when she offered him a piece of cloth, taking it from her with a quiet 'thanks' before working on getting the cloth tied around the wound. It was a little difficult with just one hand, so after a while he just balled up the cloth and used it to continue putting pressure on his arm.
"Tortured...?" he asked warily. He didn't like the sound of that. "Wolframite was tortured?" Well, jeez... that certainly explained a lot. No wonder why the guy was messed up. He was sure he's be a little crazy if he'd been tortured. "Is that how he lost his eye?" He wanted to ask and make sure. It was... sad... even if the guy had done so many horrible things... he was still just a kid, right?
He smiled again at Istas, thinking that was an obvious answer she gave about why she was there. "Well, yes. Protecting people is my number one priority, but as far as I'm aware, we're new to all this. Us knights, I mean. We haven't been around as long as the senshi or the negaverse, so I'm trying to figure out if we started to awaken for a specific purpose. We awaken on our own... Not all of us have the luxury of a cat being there when we do," he said with a glance over at Zia. She'd been there when he awakened, and it was probably why he was so willing to jump to help others. If he'd been alone when he'd awakened, he might have shut himself off from everyone else, not knowing who he could trust.
"What about a president? Or a council? They're just as important. That nursery rhyme was written back when there was a king ruling over the land. It was also a time in which the lower class was repressed and uneducated, while those born into wealth had an easy life and many opportunities," he explained, knowing that Istas was young and might not understand. She seemed to look at the world in black and white, and that was fine for a child, but as one grew they needed to know that it wasn't that simple. "I don't think we should be looking for one leader over all. We should work together, on equal grounds. We could become a family, too." That was just his opinion, of course. And he didn't know about the others, but he knew everyone in his family, and it was rather large. Of course, they had a reunion every year, just for the purpose of seeing everyone, so...
And as Zia and Lily began to explain things, Chris's head was spinning with all the new information he was getting in a matter of minutes. He didn't even know what to say or what more to ask. It was all going so fast. There were Great Crystals and purifying people and teams and stuff going back to the eighties...
"Uh... you wouldn't happen to have something I can jot notes down on, do you? I think I'm going to start forgetting things." It was late after all. He wanted to listen and learn as much as possible... there was just... so much, though. "Alien tree? Rainbow crystal...?" Maybe he really was in over his head...

Istas nodded, "Well... I think some other senshi took his eye, I know Scheelite said something about this court having kidnapped them. I've been trying to find out who to talk to, to at least let them know what kind of impression they've left him with of us senshi. Not to mention the trouble they've caused by being bullies."
She seemed to shrug softly, she'd find out who to talk too sooner or later. She wasn't worried about that. She nodded softly thinking, "Maybe the same reason the chibis started showing up." She wasn't sure why she was awoken to start with, "You have to be somewhat important or you wouldn't be here."
She paused, "I don't think anyone really knows what we're doing. I've been told a few times about being from different planets... like the Negaverse thinks we're little green men from mars." She knew enough about space to say that, but she didn't know they could actually travel to their space homes.
"However, I've never really seen anyone with any sort of know-how expect for Almost Cosmos. But she didn't say much, I guess we're expected to figure it out for ourselves?"
She paused, "Chibimoon's from Tokyo!" She chimed in, maybe there was a tie there? Istas wasn't sure, she'd heard Chris at some point ask for something to write in. Pulling out a glitter infested my little pony notebook and a pencil Hug-bell offered it to Chris "That work?"
The mention of the rainbow crystal, "We should probably still look for those that can purify. I know Lina said something about Cosmos being able to do it, but Castor seemed conflicted and like he didn't think the negaverse could be saved, nor that Cosmos could do it even when Lina was standing there..." The child sat quite for a second, she knew Lily had heard the same thing; "I know at least Scheelite can be, he's nice and he saved me back in Elysion. There's no way he's completely bad." The child needed to make a point of seeing Scheelite again, she missed her buddy. "And before any of you say he's dangerous because he's a Negaverse agent, ********* met him, she knows he's okay."
"Rainbow Crystal?" the child echoed, "Is that like the thing that makes your rainbow-colored bridge?" She was trying to hide a yawn, leaning on Chris as she did.

"Oh, Tokyo," Zia lazily rolled over, her chin resting on the arm of the couch. "There were active senshi back then, there," She said, oddly casually. "I fought them before the Moon Princess purified me and Nehelenia and sent us back through the mirror. You know, back when we were corrupted and trying to kill the White Moon. Steal the Golden Crystal..."
Okay, that was more Zirconia talking, but it was spewed out somewhat lazily for what it was. It almost seemed like a 'you know, usual stuff' was meant to follow before she trailed off.
Still, she didn't know everything. "Alien tree? What? Whatwhatwhat?" She'd never heard of an alien tree, that was before her time.
Heug-Bell started talking about Cosmos and her brow knitted in a displeased little look. "Cosmos? I would think if Cosmos was actively fighting things wouldn't be this bad. For now it's probably best to assume that if there is a Cosmos running around, she's probably an imposter like this 'Prince' dude," Finger quotes where appropriate.
"Anyway, I know about cavaliers. They're soldiers, they serve the Prince of Earth... Well, you know, when there is one. I haven't seen any White Earth cavaliers, but we had two from the Black Earth on this side of the mirror."
Her ramble stopped short and she suddenly looked bereaved and grim. "Unfortunately, Cavalier Hector was killed and Cavalier Laocoon is missing, though..."
She still didn't want to talk about Wolframite and cast her eyes down to the floor when his subject came up. She did say, though, "He didn't lose his eye from being tortured. That was from before."

Lily frowned her eyes watering. It had taken her a long time to get past the torture thing, but it seemed tonight she would once again have to explain it. She knew she had to keep going from where she left off. "Don't worry all your questions will be answered, but I think I should keep going in order."
She looked to Zia nodding at her explanation and adding it to the notes on her computer. She would have to ask her later if she knew anything about Usagi, Ami, or Rei, but she doubted it.
"Now on to the alien tree, which is an event most won't remember, but it was the first time I met the negaverse army and saw how organized they were. I am not sure you could consider them a family back then, but I would say yes they are now. It was also the first time I met Tanzanite, she was just as scary even then."
She looked at the other's, "Do you remember the giant tree in the park back over a year ago? The really really big tree. It was an alien tree. It's children came looking for energy to help revive it, but the tree hoped the moon princess might help its astrayed children. It called out for people to come to it and so we did. It was a strong calling, many senshi came, even a parallel I believe. She had a weird chain, but ran off before things got to out of control."
She sighed shaking lightly, "we wanted to help the tree, but none of us had the power to purify it and then the negaverse showed up determined to destroy the tree. They came the whole army, a nega with a large blade, Tanzanite, Serdanite, and one with dreads were the one that took out the tree and killed the aliens. Charonite, who use to be the king of the negaverse, who I believe is now dead was there as well. He seemed to have it out for Princess Chronos, the zodiacs Princess."
She had tears in her eyes, "we wanted to fight, we wanted to help, but instead the tree encased us in an magic dome to protect us. It sacrificed itself and it children to save us.. I will never forget the horrors of the night. It showed me for the first time what the negaverse is really capable of and how unorganized we were as we scrambled about."
She didn't want to answer question about it or even think about the red haired nega wiping the dead alien across the dome while they watched helpless to do anything.
She looked to Zia wiping her eyes, "there was a white earth cavalier at one point. Her name was cavalier Kunzunite and I think she was a reincarnation. I'm not sure, but Europa had on the Basterds board that Kunzunite was originally male. She disappeared though and I do not know what happened to her. That was some time ago and I hope the Laocoon doesn't share the same fate. We'll find him Zia."

Chris didn't like how there was talk of torture and s**t kept coming up, especially since, well, it was no wonder why there was such a bad relationship between the Negaverse and the Senshi, dead princess or queen be damned. He tried keeping up as best he could, although he blinked as Istas leaned up against him, and he shifted a bit to hopefully make it more comfortable for her. It must be hours past her bedtime... He didn't know how these children did it, but it hurt his heart.
He made little bullet points on the little notebook with the pencil he'd borrowed from Istas, trying to ignore how Zia didn't seem to want to talk about Wolframite. Chris was almost caught by surprise when Zee started talking about Tokyo and being purified, but soon realized that it wasn't his childhood friend talking... It must be Zirconia's memories, and Chris frowned at the thought of Zee's memories mixing in with the strange Guardian Cat's memory.
"That big tree...?" he stared at Lily, curious now that it was brought up. "Yeah, I remember it. I just thought the city took it out or something... Wait, that was an alien tree??" He couldn't get his mind wrapped around it. Why here?? Of all the places in the world? He jotted down a few more notes, but he couldn't help but ask... "Are senshi and Negaverse officers here only in Destiny City, or are there more out there...?" That could be dangerous... he didn't like it, either way.
It was difficult not to just start spouting out a hundred and one questions, because he was sure he could go on all night. Instead he did his best to keep himself quiet and let both Lily and Zia continue to educate him on all he was apparently missing. "Okay, got the alien tree... I'm sorry you had to go through that," he said softly, sympathetic as he looked up at Lily. He hadn't been there, but he knew it must have affected her a lot if she was still upset about everything that had happened. "What happened after the tree...? And who's Laocoon...? Maybe I can help keep an eye out for him...?" he suggested to Zia, feeling like he really was the least prepared person in the world for all this.

Istas yawned as she listened, she'd caught the displeased look from Zia. "Cosmos purified Lina..." She added sleepily. "She didn't look all that strong when I last saw her though..." Maybe something was wrong with Cosmos.... the child seemed to think about that since Castor had said something about not being able to purify more.
"A lot of people have it out for Chronos." She was drifting in and out, "That prince thing... the negaverse..." She gave another yawn closing her eyes and mumbling slightly. It was a wonder she could really sleep after all those bugs.
However she opened one eye at Lily when there was a mention of a team she thought she knew, "Basterds? Polaris was on that team yeah?" She was trying to stay awake and listen but that was pretty hard to do after having wore herself out and it was catching up to her.
"If they're here... and they've been in Tokyo.... before..." The child stopped, she was sort of half talking in her sleep half thinking, "why not be other places? They can get anywhere pretty easily considering airplanes and busses, and trains...." She wasn't thinking about the fact that could be dangerous, "They were at camp...." She added... before drifting off again occasionally shifting slightly to get more comfortable.

"The parallel with the chain was Sailor Aphrodite, our captain," Zia almost interrupted just to spit that out. It was important, she figured. People should know who she was; She needed to be remembered properly.
She was silent in regards to the alien tree. It was hard to sympathize by proxy, she was already doing a lot of that just to register some emotion on the goings on of the White Moon, much less some aliens who were here before her time, but she did feel something for poor Lily and the pain that came from remembering. In fact it was too hard not to give into the maternal guardian cat within her and coddle her.
She ended up sitting up and then slinking around to give the redhead a quiet embrace and ended up rubbing her cheek against her before Zirconia remembered they were not currently a cat right now.
"Hm, Laocoon," She went back to sitting upright, releasing Lily and playing off the affectionate little showing as totally normal. "He dressed in black and blue, with a rapier, but he's not a negaverser," That addendum was important. She lived in constant fear that being the last of his kind, the parallel cavalier would be on the receiving end of friendly fire from senshi making assumptions. "He sort of... feels different. Like a knight, but not."
Everyone seemed to be getting their hopes up that there were senshi elsewhere, and ever the cynic, she had to shake her head. "No, the cats would know," She said, fairly certain. She had seen the Mauvian pens and cellphones, they were technological feats and excellent communication devices for creatures not as well versed in magic. She was sure that they would all know, by way of White Moon Mauvians, if there were senshi outside Destiny city. "It makes sense; You are needed here so this is where fate would have you awaken."
She hoped. These were all assumptions, but she really didn't want there to be other senshi around. Other battles, other agents of Chaos. Things would be easier if they were all confined to Destiny City.

"Our captain," Lily asked confused, before realizing she meant the Parallel captain, not the blood moon court or more importantly on of Zirc's current girls. She gave a nod at the confirmation of identity.
Lily was a bit surprised at be hugged and have her cheek nuzzled, she only managed to blink and blush slightly embarrassed. "Sorry," she apologized. "I haven't thought about that to much in some time and even less now as it reminds me of another thing I can't forget but she wish to distance myself from."
She looked to Hugbell smiling at the sleepy child, "yes I was on the same team as Polaris. She is a tough brand of senshi, really loyal, a good friend and ally," she mumbled thinking fondly on her friend.
"For now I think this is the only place the senshi are, but not all of us are originally from Destiny City I do not believe," she said with a yawn. "I think we should sleep, its to late to be going anywhere. I have two other bedrooms, aside from my room. One has a bed, I'll sleep there. Zia and Istas can have my room, the bed is bigger and Chris can take the couch if you don't mind. I'd offer to share with you, but that would be so weird," she giggled.
"We'll continue in the morning, when we are more coherent."
Lily would tell the rest of the story in the morning. Right on from the aliens, talking about the coma, which her sister Rose had fallen into and how afterwards she missed the whole summer after her parents forced them on a vacation, through to Halloween, the message from the not Serenity, crystal hunting, her own crystal and the other's that she knew of.
She'd talk about going to space with Kurma, and continue through Elysion to and the BMC torture. Where she would shake again while speaking, allowing to Zirc to offer up what she would, if she did, not mention her otherwise. She'd confirm the rumors and tell what the experience did to her, how much she regretted it and telling she left the BMC even if she still considered them her allies. She'd ramble on about Maia to calm herself and talk let them know that the information about the BMC was to remain a secret and she was sure, but her life might depend on it.
