Again, Tristan felt the pull towards a corrupted senshi and hoped that it was her Gwen. It wasn’t their day to meet, but it was at their spot, and right around the normal time that they would meet each day. As she approached, it was with a light step and heart and she cried out. “You’re here today too! That’s fantastic, I was missing–” And then she stopped, because it wasn’t Gwen…but. The purple hair and purple on the Fuku made her swallow and just stare for a moment, a lump forming in her throat.
Was it really going to be so easy? Had she really just found Mizuki? And was she already in with the Negaverse too?
Tristan’s confused expression broke into a grin that nearly hurt from how wide it was, and she gave a yell of excitement, running over and throwing her arms around the corrupt. “Mizuki! It’s you! You’re okay! Oh my god, I’ve been so worried about you! Did Gwen find you? Did she tell you to come here?”
She was practically vibrating with excitement and squeezed the girl in the hug.
“I missed you, Mizu!”

This was the spot, supposedly. Not that Mizuki didn't mind waiting, but there were so many other things she could be doing. But Tristan really wanted to see her and who was she to turn down a potential recruit... or candy for Fausty. So she waited. A flare of order, so bright and pure it make her stomach roil a little, flared behind her. A voice that sounded.... familiar and yet not yelled behind her, and then a body was physically hugging her.
Mizuki slammed an elbow back to give space, turning in the grip to grip Tristan's throat and press her free hand to the senshi's chest, fingers sinking in just a inch. Bright eyes stared at Tristan, searching and not seeing.
"Who... are you to me?" she asked, eyes flicking between Tristan's at a rapid pace. The name had triggered... something, but she couldn't connect the two. She didn't know a Tristan, she was quite sure. She'd woken up in the middle of the castle under Prenhite's careful watch. She remembered nothing from before.
And yet.
And yet.
Tristan meant something and it infuriated her not to know what.

Oh. Oh…ow. Tristan went very still when there was a hand at her throat and another with fingers that had sunk into her chest.
Well…at least that solved her worry about Mizuki being hurt afraid or not being able to take care of herself. Honestly, the whole thing made the senshi relax and she laughed softly, with only a slight edge of hysteria involved. “We were friends! You and I. I met you and we were going to be patrol partners. We only got to hang out once, but we got ice cream and it was fantastic, and I was so worried that something happened to you.”
She hesitated and reached up to poke Mizuki on the nose, careful not to jostle the hands restraining her too much.
“You’re already in black, so that means we’ll get to be friends and hang out again! You don’t know how happy that makes me, you know. When I come over, can we go and get ice cream again?”

Mizuki blinked, suddenly letting Tristan go as if she'd shocked her. They'd been... friends? Tristan wasn't scared? Tristan wanted to come over? Wait did that mean that Mizuki used to be of the White Moon? But she'd only woken up after the battle...
the battle with the generators... and the aliens...
Something flashed across her vision and Mizuki shook her head, shaking it away. No, that was silly. There was no way Mizuki knew Tristan, they'd never met.
"I... don't know you. I've never met you. I think I would remember you..." she said, mood shifting once again to something that was more suspicious and cautious than violent or stupefied.
Mizuki blinked again, head tilting to the side as she sort of thought about it. Then she grinned, a little too wide. "But if you're coming home then we can be friends! Otherwise I'd have to kill you, and you seem like a waste to kill."

“If you don’t remember me, that’s okay. Just means we have room for new memories, no big deal at all!” Tristan rubbed at her chest, wrinkling her nose slightly at the lingering sensation of hands...in it. On it was one thing, and she like that a lot, but…she wasn’t sure she like the whole in situation very much.
“I’m definitely coming home! Looking for you was the only thing I was missing. Gwen has a suitcase filled with my stuff already, and I just have to get a few things from home, and I’ll have her bring me over when we meet again on Monday!”
It all sounded so utterly perfect and she hesitated. “Mizu, can I please hug you for more than a second? I’ve been so worried about you, I thought like, you were dead in a ditch somewhere and I hated that thought so much. So let me hug you until I feel better and we can plan what we’ll do when I come home.”

"Oh... I didn't mean to worry you," she said, a little caught off guard. Metallia did this girl like her and worry about her, and seem to really... give a s**t. It was a little startling. Reminded her of Prehnite, honestly, but with more excitement.
She even gave her a nickname. Mizu and Zuzu were her favorite nicknames now. Mizuki would deal with the weird feelings in her chest about this whole thing later. And the flickering images. She'd deal with that too.
"Sure, you can hug me for more than a second, Tristan," she said. The name didn't feel weird in her mouth or foreign it just felt... normal. Like she'd said it before.
This was confusing, but Tristan just seemed happy to see her, so she'd take what she could get. At very least, she could bring home a new senshi for the group! She'd done her job, even if in a round about way!

“Don’t even worry about it! I’m just glad you’re here and you look so good! Are you happy?”
She hugged the corrupted senshi tightly, assuring herself that she was here. That she was all right. She was eating, and she wasn’t dead in a ditch. The question slipped out like it did for all of the members of chaos she had met so far. Obviously the answer would be yes, she was sure…they had all said yes so far.
But if it wasn’t a yes, she would make sure to help bring happiness to this girl. Her friend. Even if she wasn’t the same girl any longer, Mizuki was still Mizuki and Tristan adored her.

"Happy? I am free," she said softly, held tightly in Tristan's arms. She was weightless, she was light, she was her best self. Could she remember before November last year? No, but did she need to? No. Whoever or whatever she was before, Metallia had mended and fixed it the way she was supposed to be.
"Metallia gave me freedom. No fear, no doubt. Simply power," she said, looking up at the sky and reveling in the Chaos in her veins. Tristan would come to know soon enough the absolute joy that power gave you. The freedom it gave.
Then they could be friends, 'again' whatever that meant.

Ah. Was that what it was. Well, Tristan couldn't help but approve and she laughed softly, smooshing her face into Mizuki’s soft hair. “I’m so glad. And so excited. Promise we’ll go out for ice cream when I come home? It’ll be soon, Make sure you ask Gwen in case I forget, please. I’ll write it down for myself too!”
She gave the girl an extra squeeze and then drew away, absolutely grinning. “I can’t wait to be home with you and Gwen. We’ll have a good time, the three of us. I can already tell. I hope that Metallia gives me freedom as well. I would enjoy that, I think.” The idea of freedom was quite appealing, but. The fact that she had Mizuki back was the greatest part of all of it.
“Let her know we met, okay? And let her know, if you see her, that is! That I’ll be coming to stay when we meet up again.”

Mizuki grinned and nodded. "Absolutely I love ice cream. I'll let Gwen know we met, too," she said. Tristan was nice, she could see how they might become friends at a later date. As long as she didn't try to harm her Generals or return to the light, then they'd get along swimmingly!
But if they did, she'd kill her. Happily.
Mizuki gave a wave and skipped off, long hair swaying back and forth behind her.
