This was a disaster, there was no other way to put it. Queen Beryl was dead and Queen Metaria's revival had been decisively stopped. As Beryl's jailer, Halajin knew full well what had happened. She had been in the realm of darkness, channeling energy towards the revival of Queen Metaria when the accursed reincarnation of Princess Serenity had made ruin of the Dark Kingdom. With the demise of Queen Beryl, all of the energy that Halajin had been channeling was sent back into her, strengthening her greatly, but also forcing her into a dormant state, while her body adjusted to the massive increase in power.

When she awoke, she was immediately able to realize just what had happened. The terrible Sailor Senshi had managed to change time, removing all traces of the Dark Kingdom and leaving the girls who became the Sailor Senshi with peaceful normal lives. Little did they know that Queen Metaria was far too powerful to ever be removed, and Halajin's presence in the dark realm left her and all of the other Youma in that realm immune to the alterations in time. This would have left her the perfect opportunity to crush the remnants of the Moon Kingdom, leaving no one to oppose Queen Meteria's return, had the end of the battle not left Halajin unconscious. Without her, the boundaries of the dark realm had weakened, allowing the numerous Youma that had been imprisoned in the realm for their failures to escape. Directionless, the failed Youma began causing chaos on earth, forcing who ever saw over the Sailor Senshi to return them to their position as guardians, bringing Queen Beryl's vanquishers back to full strength.

Knowing that things wouldn't be easy, Halajin decided to bide her time, honing her new powers and formulating a plan to finally kill the Sailor Senshi, so that Queen Meteria's revival could be continued under her guidance. Finally the time had come, she had gained enough control over her new power to crush any who opposed her. The Sailor Senshi were strong but they were still human, and like all humans, they are slaves to their emotions. Halajin's plan would take advantage of this fact, forcing the Senshi into a disadvantageous situation where she could crush all five of them in a decisive battle. The only problem was the presence of Tuxedo Mask, the mysterious man who had a penchant for ruining Youma plans. To truly beat the Senshi, Tuxedo Mask would need to be distracted, and Halajin knew just the right man for the job.

Out of all the servants who had been callously cast into the dark realm, only one of them had been truly restrained, sentenced to what had been known as eternal sleep. Drifting through the void, Halajin approached a large diamond and slashed at it with her clawed hand. Immediately, several massive fissures formed across the surface of the crystal before it shattered. Within the structure, the form of Jadeite emerged unharmed. The Youma allowed him to adjust to his surroundings, clearly confused due to his suspended animation, before telling him all that had transpired.

"So Queen Beryl is dead? I guess that saves my neck…" Jadeite said, no small amount of bitterness apparent in his voice.

"Yes, but Queen Meteria will never die! The Sailor Senshi must be destroyed if the revival is to continue." Halajin responded with her usual zeal.

Jadeite starred at the horned demon before bursting into laugher, "Revival? Beryl betrayed me and we lost! I'm not going to keep on fighting for a dead goddess!" As Jadeite attempted to drift away, Halajin reached out and he stopped immediately.

Turning around, a faint glow had appeared directly above his heart and panic entered his voice as he said, "You! What have you done?!"

"Ah, so I see you know what this means. Your life is bound to mine now. At any moment, I can obliterate you on a whim. Now, will you listen to what I have to say?"

With an intense look of fear on his face, Jadeite spoke faintly, "What must I do?"

"You failed to kill the Sailor Senshi, but thankfully, I don't need you to fight them. I only need you to buy time for me."

"Buy time?"

"Yes. When my plan is complete, humanity will bow before the might of the Dark Kingdom!"
