"So what ideas do you have Emerald?" Makoto questioned while Mamoru and Minako were absent.
The green haired woman suddenly looked a little nervous.
"Well I don't actually have one… I was hoping you guys did…." She explained wincing, ready for an outburst of rage from the Amazon.
"You don't have a plan?" Ami asked with a frown
"Iie…"
"Then we're truly stuffed" Rei cried with frustration
"Now now Princess Rei, you can not be negative… you must always think the best until the worst happens…" James said
"Its just Rei in this century and the worst already has happened" She bit back
James frowned slightly "It could be worse…there could be no chance of getting Serenity back at all"
Rei looked at him with sad eyes and nodded silently.
He sighed, wanting to go and comfort her but he stopped himself before he had a chance to walk. I love you, firefly He thought sadly.
He was shook at of his thoughts by two new voices approaching the door.
"There back" Zack announced suddenly.
Mamoru and Minako walked in.
"Have you gathered yourself Prince?" Kyle asked
Mamoru looked at the general and nodded silently before turning to Emerald.
"I don't like you. If you help us it does not change anything. You are evil and we are good…" He said bluntly
Emerald nodded "I know" She replied quietly
"Well now that that is clear, we shall move on onto how we are going to get Usako back" He said firmly, his eyes drifting to the Senshi and Generals.
"Diamond is planning to attack you all before the wedding. He does not wish to risk the fact that you may interrupt them…" Emerald explained
"When?" Nate asked
"Tomorrow, after sun set"
"Then we have twenty four hours to think of a plan to get her back" Mamoru said
"I'll make us some Coffee…This is going to be a long night…" Rei said, standing up and walking out of the door.
"Emerald is gone, my lord" A servant bowed before Diamond and Serenity
"I suspected so" The prince replied bitterly "That shall be all" He shoed the man away and turned to his Queen to be.
"She's properly sulking in a palace corner about our wedding" Serenity laughed cruelly.
"Use your head, my love. You know Emerald, she doesn't just sulk…"
"You think she has gone to the Senshi?" Serenity asked
"Exactly. She has betrayed us…"
"What shall we do?"
"We change our plans, I suspect Emerald has told them everything…."
"We have nothing!" Mamoru cried with frustration, he gripped his thick black hair with his hands trying to relieve his desperation. "Im going to loose her" He whispered
"There has to be away," Ami stated surely
"What Ami? What idea is there that we haven't gone through?" Mamoru yelled
"I…I don't know…" She replied in a small voice
"I have an idea" Emerald's quiet voice came unnoticed by the angry prince.
"Well you should know! You're meant to be the smart one after all!" His face was red with anger and frustration.
Gasps filled the room.
"Hello? I have an idea" Emerald said again, her voice stronger, however, nobody seemed to notice.
"Hey!" Zack yelled, his anger rising. "We are all trying our best Endymion. We do not want to loose her either!"
"Well you didn't seem to care when you was trying to kill her a year ago!" Mamoru retorted back
"Stop it the both of you!" Minako screamed suddenly
Everyone stared at her with wide eyes. Minako near got angry, she was always calm or hyper, but never angry.
"We are in this together, like it or not, we have to stick together to get Usagi back otherwise we shall loose her. Obviously you both don't want that! So shut up and sit down and let Emerald speak!" The blonde glared at the two.
Mamoru sighed with defeat.
They did as they were told silently and turned to the green haired woman.
"Talking to her will not work because her mind is strong, right?"
"Right…" Mamoru agreed
"Well what would you say if I told you that I know a way to weaken her mind…"
"I would say… bravo… what's the catch?"
"Hear me out before you shoot it down…" Emerald said cautiously watching Mamoru through fearful eyes. "When humans are sick with a bad headache or stomach ache they're minds are weaker…they do not care about much at the time because of the pain they are in…"
"Right…" Mamoru almost glared at Emerald, he was catching onto what she was getting at.
"So...we attack her, not so much it would kill her but enough for it to harm her enough to weaken her mind therefore we can get her back!"
Mamoru shot up from his seat immediately, fury coursing through his veins
"Nani!" He cried
The Senshi and the generals all looked shocked but they were all pondering the thought.
"You want me to attack Usako!" He cried with outrage
"Well yes… but not so we kill her," Emerald said, trying not to sound slightly afraid.
"Absolutely not!" Mamoru yelled
"Now wait a second Mamoru, we can't just dismiss it!" Rei said
Mamoru's firm fiery eyes turned to her and he glared, if looks could kill….
"You agree with her!" he screamed
"No but im not dismissing her either! You have to remember that everything else we have thought of will not work!" Rei shouted back
"There is a possibility that this will work" Nate interfered
"Just a possibility?! You want to risk killing her for just a small possibility of getting her back!?"
"But we wouldn't be killing her, charge you attacks just enough to harm her" Emerald explained
Mamoru's head shot towards her and he walked up to her and pressed his face near to hers.
"You are evil. This is your plan to destroy her I know it…" He spat through gritted teeth, emotion was thick in his shaking voice. He then stood and faced all the Senshi and Generals "And you are all backing her up!" He shouted
"Mamoru, we don't want to hurt her either but it's the only way!" Makoto cried.
Suddenly there was a loud crash and the roof started to caved in on everyone. Dust and wooden beams feel on top of the teenagers as they all dropped for cover.
"Its them!" Kyle yelled over the sounds of the temple being destroyed.
"Is everyone ok?" Mamoru shouted, his eyes flicking between everyone to make sure they were ok.
Everyone muttered their yes's, however they all had a few scraps and bruises.
"You said that they would not attack until sunset tomorrow!" Rei yelled at Emerald who was opposite her under the table.
"They must have found out I was betraying them and changed their plans!" She shouted back
"What do we do?" Minako cried next to Kyle, she was holding his hand tightly without noticing.
"Transform Minna!" Zack ordered loudly.
