Welcome to Gaia! ::

The shade got Castor's attention, body tense, the expression of cockiness lost and replaced by loathing. He wanted to punch her lights out or better yet, crush her skull. Yeah, hate went pretty deep for that woman.
Scylla's comment made him relax again. Just shades. "Don't judge me Tentacles." He still took a step back. The shades unnerved him. "Kunzite told me that Earth had a Prince; Endymion and when he fell in love with Serenity, apparently Beryl thought the b***h stole her man and pulled some crazy magic mumbo jumbo." The remark from Ganymede didn't go unnoticed either. "Kid, I've been looking for that sunrise for a year. It's not happening anytime soon." He did give the new senshi a look that said 'Woah, um..okay then'.

"And who said Metal-cloud-of-darkness-goth-band-name was female? Or this place was for senshi? All I got from Kunzite was that Beryl got all up in some evil power grill and wanted to bone the Prince of Earth and was going to shank Serenity in order to play a game of royal patty-cake. It sounds like a bad ex-girlfriend thing when I heard it but ehhhh..." He trailed off. Man, fuzzy memories, go.

Denebola pressed her lips into a thin line trying to keep herself in check. She glanced at the purple haired boy and nodded. She would go where she was needed. Unlike her partner she was a little more skilled in combat than he was, if only because of her persistence in pursuing both youma and negaverse agents and her interest in pursuing a defense class as a civilian.

That and she didn't hesitate to step forward in the face of a scary situation and put on a brave front. "I will go where I am needed," she stated as the senshi began to move forward. She kept her head held high and her eyes keep scanning the area in case they were attacked.

She was unaware of the attention she received from Ares.

As they arrived in the Council Chamber she hesitated unsure if she was willing to believe what the disembodied voice was telling them. She was tired of the crypt messages they continually received. The images of the negaverse queen and strange men appeared and she stepped backward, fingers curling in to fists. She didn't like this, but maybe it was because she was on edge.

"What do you mean?" She asked frowning as she tried to find the source of the voice. She wanted answers not riddles.

Sirius stayed by Ares and the others as they entered the strange room. She wasn't sure she liked this place much and as the hologram like things appeared she started to feel more uneasy.

She didn't spend much time looking at them, she was sure something would go wrong, they were always fighting here why would it be any different in this... whatever they called it place? She looked around to find any means of escape or entry.

"Ares I feel we shouldn't linger much in one place. It's not like we are getting answers anyway. Surely if we are here then the negaverse could be and they are surely going to hear this voice as well?" Of course Sirius didn't know if the negaverse were there it just made sense that they would be. As for the voice, it seemed loud enough. She didn't trust this stupid voice or Nova or whoever she was. This all felt odd, wrong and those holograms things were just downright freaky.

"I have been in Elysion before." Chronos offered, moving to where Cosmos and MuCephei stood. Flora too, followed, arms crossed, eyes darting towards the door every now and then. "From what I can make sense of my old memories, I have been here, and met both Prince Endymion and Helios. But I do not remember if I have been brought in here." The chamber seemed distinctly familiar however... perhaps where the Zodiacs resided, there was one similar to this? That would certainly make sense. Perhaps when this Mnemosyne surfaced.

The Princess of the Zodiacs frowned upon watching the figure of Beryl upon the throne. That was not right. "What Castor says is correct. Back then, we could tell from the way Prince Endymion and Princess Serenity looked at each other that they always had... feelings for each other." If even Chronos, master of cluelessness when it came to romance, could discern that, it was evidently quite obvious. It was either that or she had been probably told by someone else to observe the two.

It was probably the latter.

"I think that over time, the Earth seemed to have rather... tense relations with the Moon though." Another glance towards Cosmos, accentuated by a shrug.

Flora glanced down at the young boy, placing a hand on his shoulder. "The woman is the one who proclaims herself Queen of the Negaverse. ...The others seem to be, soldiers of the Earth? I'm not too sure myself." It rather made her think of Kunzite, generals that served the Earth King, probably. It was just an assumption, and her eyes darted towards the door again, as if hoping that Helios would appear and clear this all up.

Genderless? Well, who could say. Something struck Ares. She kept her voice low, speaking to the Blood Moon senshi around her. It was possible others standing close by might hear. "A Nega I killed told me that a female voice that was not Beryl ordered them all into Elysion. That her voice was the one that called them together and showed them the door into the dream realm." Gray eyes bounced to the members. "Perhaps that was her." It followed, in her mind. The Negas hear a new voice, and then Cosmos shows up out of nowhere to fill in the details on Metallia.

It was possible.

She turned back to the room of shades, her eyes scanning every single face with excruciating slowness. She was looking for a thread of familiarity. Did she know anyone here?

To Sirius, Ares merely shook her head 'no.' "Stay on guard, Sirius, but we shouldn't leave, not yet. Even if we could... the sun hasn't risen."

To Arsinoe, Ares said flatly, "All of this has happened before. It all will happen again. We are reborn in cycles. So are our enemies. So the war is reborn too. That is the nature of our lives." To her, this was Senshi 1010 -- at least on the Black Moon. Ares grew up knowing all of these things. She had never experienced this chronic lack of information that so many of the White Mooners seemed to suffer from. She, personally, could not even count the number of her own reincarnations. With each new birth, she faced a new fight. It was simply her mission to win more than she lost, to get better with each passing lifetime.

But then again, Ares also came from a kingdom where the libido of her ruler had not caused an interstellar war.

Chronos seemed to have some helpful information, Castor too, but she paid more attention to the Zodiac's princess because she had lived that life and thus, in her opinion, was a more reliable source of information. When she confirmed what the senshi of hail had said she folded her arms over her chest in thought.

She had a few thoughts that she wanted to ask but held back as she tried to make more sense of the situation based upon what information, however little, they had received. "Perhaps it is Metallia's power that the negaverse queen wields and she is, in truth, just a figure head or pawn of the shadow power?" she offered before Arsinoe spoke.

She turned her attention to her partner and just listened, made no judgment because she too wondered the exact same thing. As Ares answered his question she turned towards the parallel senshi, arms unfolding and a hand settling upon her hip.

"Forgive us for having questions and not understanding what is happening or why. Not all of us have had past lives or knowledge that we're constantly in a cycle of rebirth," she snapped not that she knew if Ares had a past life or not. "Many of us are new to this and as much as we'd like to just assume things, we don't."

"Power plays have and always will be one of the largest causes of conflict. Besides religion, attempts at power tends to be the major causes of most of the large conflicts in history." -Polaris insisted thoughtful, seemingly towards Arsinoe comment.-

"It doesn't even need to be a cycle.. it's simply ingrained in certain people's human nature. Someone has too much power so others try to equal it out. Someone else wants power so they try to forcefully take it. Someone thinks that it's their birthright or right to have a position in power and they'll buck against whoever they feel has usurped their throne."

"Even if it was a fight completed and won years and years ago someone will ALWAYS rise to the point where they think they deserve to have everything."

-The new information silenced Polaris, her lips pulling a soft frown across her face. Someone strong enough to destroy a senshi completely... To remove souls from rebirthing and wipe them completely from memory? What if they did that to them now.. what if they did it to all of them. What would happen to the world if there was no light to battle against the ebbing dark.-
