[Scene: The Midori residence. Minako has just kicked the door in and is charging at Zoi.]
[She lashes at Zoi with a chain of mystical light, which he dodges]
Zoi: Oh, geez. What now?
Minako: [whipping the chain at him] Don't play dumb with me, Bucko! Like you didn't just try to slaughter a roomful of innocent people!
Zoi: [ducking] I'll have you know that I did no such thing.
Minako: Don't bother lying! I'm not stupid! I should have killed you a long time ago, but Mamoru insisted you deserved a chance to prove yourself! Oh, you proved yourself to him alright! You threw a crystal shard right through Mamoru and nearly killed him!
Zoi: [floraports to behind the couch] Did Mamoru tell you that? Because I think he might want to read an ancient Greek fable called "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". You see a while back he developed a nasty habit of telling stories about me that just aren't true-
Minako: [dismisses the chain and conjures a sword of light] Mamoru didn't tell me jacksquat! He can't! He's in Seattle! In a coma! Fighting for his life!
Zoi: [wideeyed] Oh, my god! Is that true? Why didn't anyone tell me?
Minako: Maybe it's because you're the one who put him there?
[Uses the sword to slice the couch, and kicks half of it out of the way]
Zoi: Hey! My dad loves this sofa!
Minako: Yeah? Well this is about to become a very dark day for your dad on many levels!
[Charges at Zoi, who vanishes in a flurry of petals only to reappear floating behind her with his legs crossed at the knee]
Zoi: I think you are a bit confused.
Minako: Don't you gaslight me, you manwhore!
Zoi: Were you there when Mamoru got hurt?
Minako: No.
Zoi: Then how do you know what happened?
Minako: Because Artie was there! And he saw everything!
Zoi: Who's Artie?
Minako: None of your beeswax who Artie is! All you need to know what he was following the Death Phantom around to keep an eye on him and saw you try to kill about 500 of your closest friends!
[Zoi tries to make sense of that last statement and finds that he can't.]
Minako: They got locked in a room that you'd deliberately set on fire. Everyone would have died if the Evil Heltry Twins hadn't showed up out of nowhere and done some Time Warping mumbo jumbo.
Zoi: The Evil Hell Tree Twins?
Minako: Hey, I'm just as surprised as you are!
Zoi: I doubt that. I don't even know who they are.
[Minako is taken aback]
Zoi: Are they plant people? Because you might want to stock up on some Round Up.
Minako: You don't know who the Hetry twins are?
[Zoi shakes his head]
Minako: Devon and Eleanor Heltry?
[Zoi shakes his head]
Minako: The new transfer students from the Isle of Wight? Who are in actual fact, a pair of evil God-knows-whats?
Zoi: Never heard of them.
Minako: You've ...never heard...of the Heltry Twins? [narrows her eyes] I find that impossible to believe.
Zoi: Why's that?
Minako: Well for one thing they are both smoking hot! For another, he's a total player and she's a total hater, but they still manage to give off that creepy twincest vibe!
Zoi: Doesn't ring any bells.
Minako: Oh come on! You were sitting right there when I literally ran into them and knocked some big blingee out of Scarlet O'Terror's lunchbox!
Zoi: [eyes Minako with concern] I don't think that actually happened.
Minako: [Minako is taken aback by his sincere tone, then shakes her head and growls] Gaslight me one more time and I'll shove this sword so far-
Zoi: You know what? I don't have to take this kind of abuse from you in my own home! If you intend to continue your mindless ranting, I'll be out back!
[Vanishes in a flurry of petal]
Minako: Bitch! Get back here!
[Minako charges through the house into the backyard. Looks around frantically]
Zoi: Youhoo. Up here.
Minako turns, looks up, and sees Zoi sitting crosslegged on the gable of the roof.]
Minako: Come down from there and fight me!
Zoi: [inspects his cuticles] I don't think so. One of us might get hurt.
Minako: [kicks the siding] I will bring this house down, if you don't come down from there and fight like a man!
Zoi: Oh, I don't think you want that. Even if you manage to defeat me, you'll have to deal with Kunzite and Neffy next. [winks] And I don't think either of them are as merciful as I am.
Minako: From what I've heard, you don't know the first thing about mercy!
Zoi: [ponders this and shrugs and giggles] I guess you're right.
Minako: [battlecry] Die bitch!
[Minako puts her fingers together to fire off a beam of light, but finds herself encased in clear dark orb that absorbs the blast.]
[She turns to see Kunzite standing with his arms crossed behind her, floating with his feet a few inches above the ground.]
