There was nothing quite like the sensation of mirrorwalking. The cool sensation of splashing against the chilled glass of the mirror, crossing through the still space of mirrorspace and instantly emerging out of a second mirror in another location. Add to it the thrill of being able to quickly transport across the city, across the country, across the solar system and it was unimaginable there was any ability greater.
Requiem had only ever traveled a long distance once - a visit to her parents' bedroom in Florida as she quietly watched them sleep in peace, leaving no sign of presence other than the stain of a single tear that had dripped down the mirror. When she was instructed to walk to space, she had mixed emotions of excitement and anxiety. What would she find on the other end? Would she even be able to make the star trek? She knew of no mirrors in space other than the single one on her former, barren planet. How was she expected to arrive to the Zodiac's headquarters in space?
She closed her eyes gently as she inhaled deep, one foot stretching out into the mirror as she stepped forward and submerged into mirrorspace. Her foot landed on a hard, unfamiliar surface. As the rest of her body emerged from the mirror, she instantly found herself winded. It didn't feel like she had taken the just one step that she had, it felt like she had just run a marathon.
She slowly sunk to the floor of the Chronos Outpost, without much energy to stand. She needed to catch her breath before she could even think about exploring. The room she had arrived in was rather strange in its familiarity - it appeared to be the living quarters, and for something in space it was remarkably similar to how a living quarter may appear on Earth.
A new sensation tickled her spine - she wasn't alone. There was another Senshi near, and if she could feel it, it could probably sense her as well. Alarmed, Requiem tried to crawl and hide, but her body was too fatigued to move with any capable speed.
"Crap, crap, crap, crap," she repeated in a flurry of mutters as she tried to crawl to behind a bed.

Everything was rather confusing of late.
There were civilians who had gotten stuck that had completely vanished, and when they had returned to Destiny City to check on the missing people list, it remained the same. No news about civilians who had mysteriously reappeared and went on to live their lives normally. And then there had been that appearance of a youma in the Surrounding, when it wasn't supposed to be here. That and it had seemed rather different from youma they had normally fought, and others she had talked to had agreed on this. The situation was turning out to be perturbing, although there was one silver lining, at least.
And that silver lining was discovering that she had Knights. Remembering that was sparked by the awakening of Celcus, whom she had been pleased to see.
Still, the work was not over. She was wandering the halls to head towards the library when she felt the presence of a Senshi nearby. It felt oddly different somehow, and she stopped, right outside one of the doors and twisted the knob to stare in. "Hello?" Chronos stepped in, glancing about warily and then froze as she spotted an unfamiliar figure.
"Who are you?" She asked, pointing her staff at the intruder, narrowing her eyes. This girl's aura felt strange, but, it felt very similar to what she had encountered many times before... "Chaos." The Princess of the Zodiacs realized, gaze hardening. This was not good. Something had to be done.
Chronos strode over to where the other was and grasped her by the arm. "You don't belong here." She said firmly. "How did you get here?"

Requiem wasn't given a chance to hide before she was within the delicate grasp of the Princess of the Zodiacs. Her power signature was stronger than any other Senshi she had encountered before, and she knew immediately that she was outmatched. However, that didn't stop Requiem from trying to fight back.
She swung her grasped arm violently to break free, refusing to answer the Princess's questions.
"I don't have to answer to you," Requiem spat back. She did not have the energy to really fight, use her abilities, nor escape back into mirrorspace, but she had just enough energy to attempt an escape. With her other arm, she tried to shove the Princess away from her so that she could break free and run - but even if she were to manage, she didn't have the energy to move very quickly.

Chronos held on firmly as Requiem tried to squirm free, refusing to let her go. There was no way she would ever let an agent working for Chaos roam about freely in the Surrounding. Even if it was a Senshi, even if they had once been good, but had been corrupted over to the other side. "Very well." She said with a sigh. "You leave me no choice."
With her other hand, she swung her staff swiftly to the back of Requiem's head, accompanied by a soft apologetic murmur. "I'm sorry." And she truly was, but Chronos was left with no other option. The Surrounding where she had sworn her life and duty to, and she would fight tooth and nail to defend Chaos from claiming it, like how it had almost took Elysion back then.

"You will be sorry if you don't let me g---," she wasn't even able to finish the syllable before Chronos's staff smacked her on the backside of the head. Between her lack of energy and the force of the blow, the parallel Senshi of Burial instantly fell limp, unconscious.
Super Sailor Requiem was in the possession of the Zodiacs now.
