Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ami thought about what Artemis had said it was true to a point. But she herself had chosen to become a Senshi. True, her life was in danger but, still. Maybe the key was that they had to truly want to transform.

Minako pulled out her phone, her situation had been different than the other girls. She had gone around as Sailor V for quite some time before she took off her mask and became Sailor Venus. 'It couldn't be that simple could it?' All she had done was take off her Sailor V mask. Though she wasn't beyond herself not to admit that there was some longing to not have to carry the whole weight. Being able to trust someone. "I guess you could put trust in the feelings needed to henshin."

Trust that was it. "Now all we need to do is find a way to combine all of these elements together. Then we should be able to henshin again." Ami paused and thought about her finding in her own heart. "And we need to truly want to transform."

Mio gave a bitter laugh from where she was currently recovering from Kunzite's attack. It seemed to her as though the Queen had read her mind almost - she had intended to assist Danburite with his plans. The only difference was she trusted Danburite more than Beryl. She may have been created to be Beryl's shadow but Kuroki Mio had a will and agenda all of her own.

"Hai, hai. Just keep practicing and everyone will be able to transform again in no time!" Luna added, trying to boost their confidence. She wanted to see the girls succeed for the sake of their world, their home. The return of the Dark Kingdom had shaken the young girl but she knew they would survive again.

Minako continued to stare at her cell. 'what's the worse that can happen?'. She stood up and moved away from the other girls. And before they could ask what she was doing, she transformed into Sailor V. Unlike when she first became Sailor V though there was no feeling of power. Nothing. Slowly she reached up towards her mask, trying to summon the same feeling that she had felt back then. Her fingers touched the mask, and she swiftly pulled it off. Then she looked down at her skirt. Blue? "Cuso!" She then threw the mask away and de-transformed. "So much for that!" She sat back down in a huff. "I guess there's no short cuts then."

Zoisite had managed to reach him, of course Danburite was fighting him, but the white Tennou had never been one to be pushed away easily.

He let his voice travel with his music. "Calm yourself. Remember the past. We were happy once."

Grabbing the first thing he could get his hands on, Danburite hurled the object at the wall as he listened to Zoisite's voice echo in his head. "I will not let you play with my mind!" he shouted, his hands returning to his head to cover his ears in an attempt to shut out his lover.

Makoto closed her eyes and thought back to when she said she heard the wind tell her she was meant to be alone. She accepted the fact that she was meant to be alone. With her feelings strong and a fight to look forward to, she said, "Jupiter Power, Make-Up!" She tried, but she got nowhere. "I'm having no luck either." she said slowly.

Nephrite ran to the front, screaming and holding his wrist tightly. "That damned corner got me again!" He looked at Motoki with those wide eyes and yelled. "Don't just stand there! Where's the first aid kit?"

((Temping as Mamoru))

"Dangerous?" Mamoru thought about this for a moment. That man was certainly familiar, but dangerous was not a word he would use to describe him. "I didn't get that feeling, no. Why? Did he seem that way to you?" Mamoru started sorting out the facts in his head. If it was someone from the past, and Zoisite wasn't telling them anything, perhaps it would be worth mentioning to Kunzite? He was the only other one of them who had a perfect memory of the past life.
