"We are so shafted," Jadeite angrily huffed, pacing the apartment and punching the buttons on the home phone. "What are we going to tell the boss, huh?"

"That Sir Pretty Boy is a smooth talker and has wormed his slimy self up to the senshi," Kunzite said, arms crossed and face stern and serious.

"Hello?" the blond said harshly into the receiver. "I need my thermostat fixed."

"There must be some way we can work this to our advantage…"

"My address? Tokyo."

"We didn't really lose anything, did we?" Kunzite mused, sitting on the couch and pondering.

"What the hell kind of idiot are you! I live in Tokyo!"

"It's not like we weren't already their enemies, so it stands to reason that they'd become allies. Enemy of their enemy and all."

Jadeite rushed to the door and swiftly swung it open, very quickly snapping, "Ten twenty-seven Tokyo."

"Our lord must have a solution…"

"Listen, you worthless human!" Jadeite shouted, face red as he lost his very short temper and slammed the door. "I told you where I live, now fix my goddamned thermostat!" There was a brief pause before Jadeite yelled, "We'll have you euthanized in the new world order!" and threw the phone across the room, the device flying to pieces on impact. In a huff, he tossed himself on the couch next to his roommate.

"Doing alright there?" Kunzite asked, and Jadeite growled in seething anger.

"What the hell is an address!" he cried and Kunzite looked at him oddly.

"Did you tell him the number on the door?"

"Yes!"

Kunzite scoffed. "Humans are clearly incompetent and idiotic."

"Kill me if I ever become one."

"Oh, don't worry, I will." He paused for a second and looked in the corner, then softly said, "I guess we're going to have to get the phone fixed too."

He waved his hand dismissively, sighing tiredly as he said, "Don't worry, I'll call tomorrow."

"Change of plans, boys."

Both men perked up and moved closer together on the couch as their cloaked and hooded master appeared in the mirror before them. "Tell me what you know."

"We stayed hidden as you asked," Kunzite reported. "This asshole showed up, but he is not aggressive toward the senshi, and it looked like they were considering killing the guy we need."

"And our friend? What did he look like?"

"Displeased, sir. He looked nervous and wary," Jadeite said softly. "He won't go easily with this guy."

The red eyes glinted. "Perfect."

The two men squirmed uncomfortably under the gaze of the hooded man in the mirror. Quietly, Kunzite slowly asked, "So, what do we do about the senshi?"

The man scoffed, flicking his wrist as though to dismiss the very idea. "The senshi are no longer an issue."

"Can we kill them?" Jadeite trembled, voice tense and charged with excitement.

"No, Jadeite. The senshi are no longer a threat to us, but we can still use them." The man folded his arms, quickly tapping his foot. "If the senshi are at all the same as before, they will do everything they can to prevent harm to our boy. It is only a matter of time before they begin to fight against our dear enemy."

"So we are right back where we started," Kunzite growled, and the red eyes shone with excitement.

"Not quite, my friend. It is true that the situation between the senshi and these rogues is at a stalemate, but our situation is now quite different."

Kunzite's eyes suddenly lit up, and a small, sly smile marked his face. "My lord, what did you see at their base?"

A faint smirk could be seen from under the red eyed man's hood. "Our enemies have my body."

"What!" the blond general cried, blue eyes wide and angry. "That's bad, we're totally screwed!"

"On the contrary," he said softly. "It gives us one less thing to collect. All we need to do now is deliver the crystal to them."

The generals were silent for a moment and looked at each other quizzically, unsure of how insane their leader had gone. Finally, Kunzite asked, "And…we want that?"

"Oh yes. Our friends from the moon are officially our pawns, boys, but we must be careful, as they are still dangerous. If we look away for just a second, we could lose everything."

"So…what are we going to do?" Jadeite asked softly.

The hooded man grinned. "We're going to attack the senshi."

"Oh, yes!"

"I thought that was a bad idea," Kunzite said, eyebrow raised quizzically.

"This is a risk we need to take," the man drawled. "We are not looking to kill them, just to draw them away long enough to have access to our little golden boy."

A sly grin crossed Jadeite's face. "Are we going to take him?"

"Far better than that. Go, boys. Cause havoc."
