The council of senshi had converged and they had spent most of the time arguing; the conflict was old, but it prevented any talk of an intelligent solution to the current dilemma. The more stubborn and over protective of the planetary senshi like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto had always kept the emerging senshi at arms length. Moon, and the rest had welcomed the other senshi, but when confronted by the others they gave in keeping their own little click. There was also a small group of younger senshi from all over Earth who had been reborn to their senshi statuses..
"I knew this would happen; those two were always time bombs just waiting to annihilate the city!" Pluto strongly argued. "They even hurt their own kind! There is no reasoning with them; SWIFT final actions need to be taken against them both!"
The outer planetary senshi nodded in agreement; many of the new senshi were from outside the galaxy, this made them untrustworthy. Sailor Saturn the leader of the outers was the only on not in agreement with her adopted family's sentiment. Many of the international senshi just sort of watched; unsure which faction to align with.
Sailor Jupiter shook her head. "We are not killers; we need to find a way to reason with them. Something in the storms is letting me know that this is not their fault."
"I agree, my computer is picking up on strange energies, but the nature of these powers is unclear." Mercury offered up.
Uranus shook her head and slammed her hand down on the meeting table. "NO what you need to realize this they came from beyond our world, that makes them enemies! They are stronger than us and now we are seeing their true forms!"
The blond senshi gestured to images of victims, photos of all the missing children, and reports of terror popping up all over the city.
"They played us like a violin, now we are paying the price for allowing ourselves to be seduced and infiltrated." Neptune added."Even I was fooled by their so called heroic feats." She grumbled.
Neptune of course was not ready to admit that the words she spoke felt wrong; right now the actions of the two girls was screaming enemy to her.
Several of the Cosmic Senshi spoke up, "That's unfair, and you've had a bone to pick with P-chan for the longest time now, Pluto! We are at our wits end trying to prove to you that we are not your enemy!"
"Right now the citizens of our once peaceful city are being TERRORIZED and VICTIMIZED by your so called friends; children are being KIDNAPPED, and you have the gall to stand here and DEFEND the root cause of all this EVIL! OF course you are our enemies because you are siding with the enemy right now!" Pluto hissed back at the Cosmic Senshi. "Your own kind tried to kill you and you still defend them; you and your fake MOON royals should go back to where you came from and STOP plaguing our world!" The Senshi of Time and Space laced each word with venom.
The new warriors, who knew nothing of the tension between the senshi, could not help but go with what they witnessed so eventually they showed support of Pluto and her argument. Several senshi voiced their support of Pluto in several different languages. Soon the debate unraveled into a multilingual shouting match; it was inevitable since tempers and fear were at an all time high.
Desiree and Serenitalia stepped forward, both bore wounds from their recent tangle with Autumn and Paige; behind them stood Sailors Mau, Hemp, Darkness, Angel, Vibrant Star, Love, Manna, Silver Star, and Star Spangled Sailor. Each girl, had been shouting but once the Moon Royals took the floor the Cosmic Senshi silenced their voices in respect.
"Arguing amongst ourselves will not solve the current dilemma." The Neo-Moon Queen said in a calm strong voice. "We cannot change your opinions of us and that is fine, but for the sake of the city, we need to work together." She said.
Serenitalia passed a cold regal eye over at Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune. "Sister is right, for now SOME of us need to push down our negativity, so that we may unite and come up with a way to save our friends."
"My sisters are correct." Neo-Queen Serenity looked at her sisters, and smiled she could not help but agree. "I remember what it was like, loving someone who was brained washed by evil, I would not wish that kind of pain on anyone." She was recalling the past.
Crystal Tokyo's Queen stood and raised her hand to silence the Outers and the others who were ready to disagree. "For the sake of love, the Moon, and our beloved Earth we will unite and try to save Autumn and Paige!"
Neptune and Uranus shook their heads and pleaded with Neo-Queen Serenity. "But your MAJESTY, PLEASE!"
Their voices were drowned out as many senshi applauded her decree, Serenity knew those who would not agree with her rule, and she was surprised at the positively icy look from Pluto. A chill ran up her spine as she remembered the same type of look Mamoru had given her when he had been infected by evil. Pluto now had that same frozen, dark, and hateful look in her crimson eyes.
Sailor Pluto turned on her boot heels and left the vast war room; she despised that the Queen was so kind and trusting.
