(Duchess Celia Braidy is interrogated while she speaks of her revenge)
Within the hollows of Crystal Palace is where Nephrite and Jadeite cold be found facing a restricted sorceress. Her power were under magical limiters while her hands were being kept together by special wristlets. Sat on other side of a metal table with a pad of paper and a single pen placed in front of her. Quietly she just say there not answering a single question how she came by the pod or extracted them. Ended with her turning her nose out at change of the guard when Zoisite and Kunzite couldn't get her speaking. Not like she was giving up any thing after countless hours passed with her just sitting there.
"You tell us something, you'll sentence would be shorten and you could avoid being exiled." Nephrite assured her.
"Nemesis isn't a great place to be banished too." Jadeite pointed out.
Into her seat she'd recline bringing up how had one last counter measure she pulled while knowing she would be captured. One that had to do with their daughters and their sons being targeted by carefully planted pods. How she spent hours carefully putting together after hours of research and planning. Were ready to spring thanks to time release seals made out of her magic were placed on. Had her looking to only clock that was on hanging in the room while waving one of hands back and fourth. Making a ticking sound while asking them if any of them knew where their children were at this very second.

Decorated reticulated circular top on a barley-twist post and molded cabriole legs ending in hairy paw feet. Made up a white-painted cast iron table covered in white clothes with matching chairs that one seats in. Placed within a lush garden made of native flowers one could find through Japan when on a hike or natural trial. A single cobble stone path leading to and from the one of the secure elevators, all held within the top of one crystal towers. Breath taking views of the sky line of all Japan's capital and beyond at one's finger tips. Made up private tea party held within the inner garden of the Crystal Palace, hosted by Neo Queen Serenity. Who had her favorite mini lemon pies from fruit tarts served with all kinds of tea. She had brought up from the main kitchen on sterling silver carts pushed by her most trusted servants.
All while people she hand chose to attend sat and chatted with her about what amused her or current events. What most people through the social classes coveted when that 6x9, ivory envelop with embossed lettering. Held wax seal of the White Moon Family on sealed flap with a gold leafe lining inside the envelop. Held a heavy card stock with old English lettering that informed someone about being invited. Usually got hand delivered by a single Crystal sential to door step of how ever caught Queen's attention.
Lucky batch this time was Dann, his half- brothers, and his male relatives
Made Mina and Mako rather thankful they got to help in help the guys buy new clothes for this event. Each one of this went with some kind of a waist coat and tie while girls were a knee length dress in formal settings. Everything else they wore was something of their own style to show their individuality. Which wasn't much of challenge for the girls since Dann surprised each one of the girls with piece of jewelry. Mina got a new jeweled barrette made of Citrine Geode of a yellow hue and scrapped metal. Mako got studded rose shaped earrings with Rainbow Fire effect as Amelie wore a bracelet with sea-glass pendent Reika got a choker style necklace with charred wood and lava rock pendent. He stated were made from left over materials from he last project he worked on when he had free time.
"Ready to show off your other project?" Alecjo rudely asked him.
"None of your business." Dann hissed at him.
Everyone else agreed in there own way over how Alecjo decided to present himself to the Queen. His shirt had all the buttons undone till midway down with his chest with half his muscular chest on display. Chest hair clearly on display as he sat sideways in his chair, with his right side near the chair back. Holding his cup from the rim when ever he sipped tea from the his cup. Returning his nephew's stare after poking at how nervous Dann was about being in company of royalty. He just hand over commissioned jewelry he created for courting pair of Princess Lady Serenity and High Priest of Elysion. Way single Rose Quartz was used on a silver-chain necklace along with the gold crescent earrings and pearl barrettes. Diadem made of rose gold and carefully laid gemstones showed how skilled Dann was in crafting. Laid out on the table all for all to see while a single servant walked around with dessert trey and tea pot to serve people.
Mina was ready to brag that her new jeweled barrette was made by Dann to everyone as she finished her first glass of tea. Angel and Andor shared with Mako and Amelie this talent of their elder brother was always natural for him. Ciprian was sharing a story with Reika about back on their homeworld how Dann was on his way of becoming a jewelry smith. Alecjo slammed his cup back on the saucer to cut through the muttering with his attention directed. Right at women who hadn't said a word since her breath was taken a way when the jewelry was revealed to her.
"Up your exceptions?" He asked in his loudest voice.
"Quite." She happily clapped her hands. "You've earned my business."
Dann blinked out of shock as the as rattling of dessert card being wheeled in by someone in a simple black dress and apron. Way she stiffly picked up her feet when she bent each one of her joints in up and down motion. Had a strange fluidity that started to give Reika chills up her spine and felt wrong to Andor. Amelie and Mako were reminded of battle bots they built in robotics club while back in middle school. Mina was the one that got up her seat when Queen went on about desserts about to be served. Words Ikuko's lemon pie and Queen's pâtissier Mango soufflé cheesecake didn't stop Mina from moving a way. Someone sounding a lot like Ciprian telling her to be careful got her to nod. A way from everyone she would walk with a small voice somewhere within her heart telling her this person approaching her.
Taking in the sights of all the pasties and sweet confessions on a 3-Tier shelf and rolling wheels Cart with safety guardrails. Dishware with folded cloth napkins on top and newly polished silverware were neatly piled into one corner of the cart. As she stopped midway on the cobblestone path in her yellow, Cadya Square Toe Slingback Flat with 1- inch heel. Not moving once when she slowly raised her head when asked about wanting a piece of fruit by the person. Eyes came to stop at the out stretched hand with a lacy cuff on the wrist as in the center of the palm held two pods. Ones that seem to slowly hover within the center of this women's hand when she slightly tapped their ends. Creaking of the women's neck when she tilted her head when she further spoke about the fun she was going to have.
"Guys!" Mina posture stiffen when she knew what those pods were. "We have a problem."
Screeching of metal legs dragging across the ground followed by someone running to Mina's side happen rather quickly. Took place with Dann trying to keep his voice from cracking when his eyes looked upon a set of pods just floating. Who gently raised one his hands to take hold of Mina by the waist when the spinning pods started to move around some. He whispered to her about moving as soon as he gave the words with sounds of everyone behind them shifting around. Alecjo quickly left his seat on opposite end of the sitting area and made a b- line for Neo Queen Serenity. Making sure to bow to her as he got near enough while how good she was in running in her heels from danger. Andor, Angel, and Ciprian were already on verge of getting out of there seats with their Star Power Sticksalready in hand.
"Anytime!" Mina reclined into his hold.
"Ready!" He ended up gently moving her with him. "NOW!"
She ended up ducking her head under his chin when he moved her with him off to the side those pods shot out from the person's hand. Taking flight into the air by passing the space the two had been standing in a whizzing gesture with force. Stopping only once within the air when entering the sitting area as if the pods were deciding on what item to infuse with. This had everyone on edge when one of the pods moved a foot and a half in the air in direction of the tea pots. Other just floats in place while it's rotation started to slow down as he slowly moved toward one of the tables. Created a silent period in everyone watched for a few seconds as the surfaces as single table and tea pot. Were barely tapped by the one pods before the adsorbing and alteration process into humanoid monsters. One in the shape of a massive teapot for a body with hands and legs sticking out of the sides as spout face forward and hand back. A upper neck and full head stood out of the top as the top was clearly worn on her bald head as a hat. Other looked like twisted of thick wire to form a fancy stick figure with powdered coat of white paint on it's body. Black star tattoo could clearly be seen on the stick figure while everyone started to wonder where teapot was hiding it's.
Not time to figure that out was given when soft whistling came from the spout of the teapot followed by clouds of steam. That started to gather at their feet and grow thicker in passing second until the transparent appearance was replaced. By a more solid white coloring that made seeing the floor under their harder when ever they looked down. Sent a sense of worry up Reika's spine as Amelie and Andor noticed the level of the steam was slowly rising. Last thing everyone saw was creaking sounds of the stick figure turning around and slowly started lifting it's hands. Releasing this ear splitting rustle that had everyone trying to cover their ears to block out the noise as steam built. Had them being brought to their knees unable to further see the person in front or beside them within seconds. Not knowing smaller wires came shooting out of stick figure's hands and snuck up on everyone by binding their wrists. Leaving them helpless since they soon couldn't see the person in front of them when steam got above their heads.
"I am sorry for ruining your moment," Person that released pods spoke. "I'll be taking your Pure Heart Crystals as a means of vengeance for my master."
Alecjo got his feet in the direction of this person to tell her that Duchess Celia has crossed a line when invading another home. Got him silenced when restricts further around his wrist tighten as the person grew quiet after his outburst. Didn't stop him from talking about a former acquaintance as he got to his feet after maneuvering his restricted hands. Moving them from behind his back to the front of him when he noticed to outlines in the steam heading toward them. He made out the teapot and the wiry stick figure were going to start with take Neo Queen's pure heart crystal. Which had him getting steady on his feet while he got in between what was slowly coming their way and concerned Queen.
"Are you sure you can handle them?" She asked in passing.
"Got any ideas?" He asked trying to considerate.
"..." She made a coughing noise while pointing out wires retraining her hands. "I was informed you a ability over the wind."
"Never tried to slice through wire before." He liked her idea.
He ended up having to choice between clearing out the steam that had started to surround everyone or save the queen. What he made what he made he ended showing when he blindly ended up focusing his minor razor wind on wires. Ones he decided to cut were ones hand his hands and Neo Queen's hands restrained with what was coming toward them. Had him being able to free their hands after cycling the air current around the wires a few times before they fell apart. Allowing him to take a better stance as he reached for his Lepal Pin to begin his Knight transformation. Sphere of air that formed around him came with extra blast of wind that ended up cleaning some of the steam. Revealing to the Neo Queen that every one else also had their wrists restricted in one way or another she looked upon them.
To her tiara she would reach to use the silver imperium crystal to free everyone and banish the creatures from her past. Ended up being stopped when Knight Stella Gale put up a whirling wind barrier to stop more wires from wrapping around her. Advised followed she shouldn't use her power with risk of being restrained happening once more. She would take to heart when she watched how the wires were repeatedly cup into pieces by the swirling barrier. Pieces of wiggling wire falling everyone was amusing sight for her as teapot ended up ramming Knight Stella Gale. Force alone sent him flying into a a bed of flowers that ended up falling as the stick figure broke the barrier.
"Hurry up and get her crystal," Person reminded the two Daimon. "We have a schedule to keep."
Knight Stella Gale used the remainder of his wind to free everyone's wrist with a request they saw the queen before he fell unconscious. Left the girls and guys on their own ways when they triggered their transformation one by one. Putting on a light show that stopped the two Daimons from further pulling off their attacks for a few seconds.
"Now I am angry." Sailor Mars flipped a pieces of her hair.
"Not how I wanted this day to go." Sailor Mercury sighed rather disappointed.
"Your all so dead." Sailor Jupiter pounded her fist int her hand.
"I had been looking forward to this day for a very long time." Sailor Venus screamed at the Daimons.
A point was further made when knight Froze used a spell from his book attached to him by chain to lower the temperature of the steam. Knight Lightenen was the one that ended up taking Knight Stella Gale's place with his arms cross and angry. Knight Fiur and Chevalier Luba took positions near Neo Queen with one using a healing spell on her wrists. To only brings his ceffyl dwr to the side of the Neo Queen with her saying how this steed with butterfly wings had coloring of a Phoenix. Shades of reds and orange mixtures together when she ran her fingers through his mane and fur. About to make a request about riding the steed that was granted by Knight Fiur, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Mars. Sailor Jupiter backed Knight Lightenen by getting in path toward Knight Stella Gale as Knight Froze and Sailor Mercury stood by.
"Interesting!" The person didn't know they learned to work together.
On to the the ceffyl dwr Neo Queen was helped after Chevalier Luba mounted the butterfly winged steed when he was handed the reins. She was assured she was was in safe hands since this wasn't Chevalier Luba knew by how to ride a ceffyl dwr. Before taking off Sailor Venus grabbed Chevalier Luba by the collar of his chest plate and pulled him down. Connecting their lips in a briefest of kisses before releasing him and watching him reposition him on the ceffyl dwr. He was then reminded of the his passenger when grabbed by the waist when they took flight and headed upwards.
"Stop her!" The person ordered the two Daimon. "We're screwed if she leaves."
Up stepped Knight Lightenen to build a electrical charge by merely striking and slamming his gloved palms together wit his fingers still straight. Sailor Jupiter brought flatly closed hand with palm facing forward to gemstone center of her tiara, lightning antenna hidden inside her tiaraextends, crackling with electricity. Combining his Eletrictro Pulse and her Thunderbolt Cut upon the two Daimons. Blocking them from stopping the two on ceffyl dwr. From getting away. Crystal roof allowed to freely pass into the sky while containing the electrical build up discharged in that combined blow. Away them to fly from from the Palace's grounds toward one of the more safer places in the form of a crystal point. One the Neo Queen figured could be converted into a stable for the ceffyl dwr.
Not the person in a angry state to watch one of her master's targets get flown away on back of a flying horse. Just her attention facing upward, she created a opening allowed Mercury to stick out one of her hand hand and left leg. Gathering the swirling steam to from into cumulonimbus storm clouds just a few feet away from the person. Knight Froze had frost start forming on plates of is armor when his page flipped to a new right blank page. Letters written in old English font formed spell the Rain of Ice. As she followed through with her Hail Storm upon the person, with a strong vengeance. Ended up freezing her in place as a heart linked chain struck the center of the two Daimon chests, with pinpoint accuracy.
Lingering Electrical and icy energy become a enough of a attention grabber since transparent walls around the courtyard they were in. Acted as a 180-degree window in showing everyone in surrounding around area within the Palace grounds. Ended up stirring a security detail that Nephrite and Jadeite headed with fear their daughters were in harm's way. Sounds of Daimons coming to an end also let out a loud screech that sounded worse then creaking of stick figure's joints. Made everyone thankful still cover their ears with the sight of a frozen an artificially created human and broken items. Split pods sat in pieces among the mess that with attention turning to still unconscious knight Stella Gale.
"I don't think he's conscious. And he looks pretty beaten up." Knight Fiur had looked him over.
"Someone get some help." Sailor Mars pulled a table cloth from a table. "This is bad."
She ended up tearing up the find linen to tend to the wounds inflicted on knight Stella Gale when she noticed damaged. Chucks of his armor had been slashed away from the stick figure's metal wires and left wounds that needed treatment. Knight Fiur had to undo transformation of his fellow knight for them to even get close to inspecting him. Sailor Venus was the one that ran passed what was left of their tea party to the only way up to the tower in a hurry. Trying to look at the blood soaked clothes that were removed from Alecjo's form by Mars for her to better tend to him. Water that was brought to her was used to wipe his wounds clean by Mercury when Froze couldn't heal Alecjo.
"Come on!" Venus made it to the elevator and noticed pressed the button to get the hydraulic cylinder-assisted machine going. Noticing the numbers were slowly changing at a slower pace then normal as she just stood place just fidgeting in place. "I should have asked to borrow Chevalier Luba's ceffyl dwr, instead of waiting here for someone to show up."
Her heels stomping band on fourth on the ground didn't help as screen that displayed the numbers went blank for a while. Alecjo was the one that asked Sailor Venus to tone her impatience since his already existing headache was worsening.

Beep of a heart monitor only sound in a room with walls painted white and the sterile smell of a strong commercial grade cleaner. Starchy sheets that were itchy against Alecjo's skin when he woke with a pain behind his eyes and sore body. Trying to seat up if wasn't for a seat of eyes that wasn't his nephew's eyes staring at him from a chair. Child had to be around Derek's age and has a pretty sizable juice box within his tiny hands as bits of rice on his face. Being limited by the Iv drip that was in his arm had Alecjo unable to get a better look at little prat that was watching him. Led to a short staring contest before Ben came into room with Mina and Dann following behind him in a hurry. Mina carried about how the sight of newest addition be the positive sight she needed to make her crapfest of a day better.
"Only for a minute since I want Alecjo to rest." Ben whispered to her.
"To Late!" The trio jumped.
Alecjo waved to them with his eyes on what was sitting on the chair before Ben introduced the child a elementally gifted child. Who went by the name Kaze, that he was allowed to watch after a strange accident happen at the orphanage. One that turned a room the child was sharing with another boy his own age into disaster zone after class five hurricane.
"Your a wind user?" Mina asked kneeling down to Kaze's height. "Your so cute."
"That's how men in our family start out before coming someone like my dad or Alecjo." Dann warned Mina.
"I am going to feel sorry for Reika." Ben already guess that Ciprian
