It had been three days since the incident at Juben Academy. Three days since Toden had stopped Haikyun from being obliterated by Sailor Moon's attack.

And Haikyun was still a bit irritated from that.

She was in a training room that had been made specifically for the Daimon, repeatedly punching a speed-bag with her good arm. At the moment, wailing on something was the only thing keeping her mind off the incident.

She had just finished up with the speed-bag when she heard someone walk in. Turning, she saw Viluy walk up to her. For some reason, looking at the white-haired witch sent a shiver up her spine, but Haikyun couldn't place why.

"Haikyun, we need to talk." Viluy said. "I'm noticing you're distracted. That is not acceptable. If we're going to succeed in our plans, everyone needs to be focused."

Haikyun rolled her eyes at this. "Look, I don't give two craps about any Crystal Hearts, or tech, or whatever other bullshit you're coming up with. All I want is a rematch with Jupiter. Otherwise, why would I care about anyAAAHG!"

She screamed as Viluy grabbed her broken arm and twisted it around her back. Turning her head, she saw that Viluy had a twisted look of rage.

"Listen to me carefully. You and all the other Daimon work for the Witches, meaning you work for me." Viluy snarled. "Defying me is a grave mistake. If you question or mock me again, I will tear your arm out of its socket. Understand?" Viluy then let go of Haikyun, who stumbled forward gripping her arm.

"Geez, that was brutal." Haikyun said. Then she grinned. "Do it again."

Viluy just glared at her before leaving. Haikyun chuckled, and went over to a punching bag.

'Well, that was a waste of time.' Haikyun thought. 'Well, back to training. When I'm done, Jupiter won't know what hit her.'

While this was going on, at Makoto's home, Toden and Makoto were in the kitchen, eating some chocolate chip pancakes. The mood was a bit more... tense then usual.

"Toden, you're not still upset, are you?" Makoto asked.

Toden shook her head. "No, not upset. Just confused." She said. "I'm still trying to process the whole things about you being Sailor Jupiter. I'd like to accept it, but..." She trailed off.

Makoto frowned, and started to say something, before she heard a knock at the door. She got up and went over to the door, looking through the peephole. On the other side, she saw Usagi. Sighing, she opened the door.

Usagi walked in, looking at Makoto. "Hey Mako." She said. "I was kind of hoping that I could talk to Toden. Never really got a chance to last time."

Makoto nodded and led Usagi into the kitchen. Toden looked up and saw the two. She was a little worried when she saw Usagi.

"Hi there." Usagi said. "I just want to talk, that's all." On that, she took a chair next to Toden and sat down.

The two just kind of looked at each other for a little bit, Toden clearly uncomfortable in Usagi's presence. Eventually, Usagi decided to break the silence.

"So... um... I'm don't want to hurt you, if that's what you're thinking. I am a nice person" Usagi said.

"I have memories of all the previous Daimon that say otherwise." Toden replied.

Usagi frowned. "Right. Please let me explain. Those other Daimon, they wanted to hurt people. They were going to take the Crystal Hearts and kill them. I didn't have a choice!" She said.

"They didn't know!" Toden yelled. Then she sighed. "I've got their memories. I've been going through them on and off for the last few days."

Usagi went blank after hearing all this. "They... didn't know?"

Toden shook her head. "Believe me, I was just as shocked as you are right now. As far as they knew, taking the Crystal Heart would just knock them out. They assumed the people would just pop back up after a while." She said.

Usagi frowned. "I... I had no idea." She said. Then she thought of something. "Wait, if they didn't know, why did they attack?"

Toden shrugged. "Maybe it was because they were told to. When I was created, all I knew was 'Attack the Senshi' and 'Take the Crystal Heart'." She explained. "But there might be more to it. I went through Scar's memory. She was terrified of our boss. Scar didn't want to fight, and the boss attacked her. Strangled her until she complied."

Usagi slumped in her chair. "That's awful." She said. "What about the others?"

"They seemed to just run on instinct. Just do what they were told. No say in the matter." Toden said. "Though there's a gap in my memory. The vacuum cleaner and heart statue Daimons, Osoji and Daiheart. I can remember their names, but not what happened to them."

Usagi just slumped in her chair. Her eyes started to water. "So... I've been destroying them... and they didn't know better. I've been... I've been..." Then she started bawling

Makoto rushed over to Usagi. She pulled Usagi into a hug.

"Please stop crying." Makoto said. "I'm just as upset as your are."

"I never saw..." Usagi said between sobs. "I should have..."

Toden stood up and went over to hug Usagi too. "You were doing what you thought was right." Toden said. "I can't fault you for that. And I'm rather upset that I was tricked too."

Usagi finally stopped crying. She looked at Toden and smiled.

Toden chuckled. "So, now that we're on better terms, is there anyone else I should meet?" She asked.

Both Usagi and Makoto smiled.

"So, we have a situation on our hands." Viluy said.

The white haired witch had gathered Haikyun, Irondar, Daiheart, and Osoji in a small meeting room in Mugen Academy. She had a plan, and wanted to make dead certain they knew it.

"Now, our rogue Daimon is still alive, unfortunately. And she was programmed with at least some of the information regarding the plans of the Death Busters." Viluy explained. "This is unacceptable. So, I have formulated a plan of attack for dealing with this issue."

"Why can't we just make our own plans?" Osoji asked. "Why do we have to follow one plan?" Viluy glared at her, eye twitching.

"Because you are under MY command." Viluy said. "You will follow MY orders and execute MY plan."

"Technically, I'm under Kaolinite's command." Haikyun said. "So, I don't think I have-"

Haikyun didn't finish her sentence when Viluy stomped over to her and grabbed her throat tight.

"Follow. My. Plan." Viluy growled. "Understand?" Haikyun quickly nodded, and Viluy released her grip.

"Good. Now, Osoji and Daiheart will instigate an attack. This will draw out the Senshi, and keep them distracted." Viluy explained. "With them distracted, Irondar and I will collect our the rogue Daimon-"

"Isn't her name Toden?" Haikyun asked. Her answer came in the form of Viluy slamming her head into the table, causing a nose bleed.

"DO NOT INTERRUPT!" Viluy screamed. Irondar looked away, while Daiheart and Osoji winced.

"As I was saying, Irondar and I will collect our rogue Daimon. While this happens, Haikyun will also collect Pure Hearts. Understand?"

The four Daimon nodded. Satisfied, Viluy dismissed them all.

As the Daimon left the meeting room, Kaolinite happened to be walking by. As she did, she saw Haikyun and her bloody nose. Kaolinite rushed up to Haikyun.

"What happened?" Kaolinite asked, a hint of worry in her voice.

"I think I annoyed Viluy." Haikyun said. "Got a face full of table and a broken nose." She then smiled. "It was a fun meeting."

Kaolinite sighed. "Come on. I'll patch you up... again." She said as she led Haikyun off.

Toden was sitting on the couch, redressed in her now stitched-up conductors uniform, while Luna and Artemis were sitting on the coffee table in front of her. Makoto and Minako were watching from the doorway, while Usagi was raiding Makoto's fridge.

Toden was a bit confused. She searched the memories of the previous Daimon to find out anything on the cats, but all she got was a memory from the first two Daimon, and that didn't help much. All she knew was they could talk.

Toden looked at the two cats, then cleared her throat.

"So, uh..." She began. "I'm Toden. And... um..."

"No need to be so nervous." Artemis said. "We aren't going to hurt you."

"According to my memories, you tried to attack Mikuji and Nekonelle." Toden said. "Besides, that's not what I'm worried about."

Luna looked at her. "You think we don't trust you." She said. "Well, Makoto and Usagi did explain what they could to us. You do seem genuinely regretful."

"Well, I am," Toden said. "But why? I tried to steal a Crystal Heart. I attacked the Senshi. Why would you want to help me? I'm a Daimon."

"Because you were just doing what you were ordered to." Makoto said from the doorway, before walking up to the couch and sitting. "You didn't know taking the Crystal Heart was fatal. And you don't know what the bad guys want with them. Well, we don't either. Point is, you don't seem to be like the other Daimon. The ones before seemed single-minded, uncaring. But you..."

Toden looked at Makoto and smiled. "Thanks. Now if only you could get through to Mars."

"Rei?" Makoto asked. "She's stubborn, but I'm sure you'll win her over eventually."

Minako cleared her throat, drawing everyone's attention. "Sorry to butt in," She started. "But if Toden wouldn't mind, I do have some questions about her boss."

Makoto looked at Minako like she went mad. "Is now really a good time?" She asked. "Besides, on the way up you were yammering on about the best place to get banana splits and ogle guys, and NOW you're all business?"

Minako frowned. "I can be serious when I need to be." She said defensively. She then walked over and stood in front of Toden. "Now, about your boss..."
