The Locket works on the fabric of space/time. Therefore, it only makes sense that there's occasionally someone who will be sent back to a time they've already been through

There's another dark senshi here. Mercury is... quite unused to the scene in front of her. Her own world's Dark Kingdom tends towards empty and quiet caverns, with youma produced only in battles and never attending at court like the shitennou. If this means the fact she's been brought to court only once should clue her in to her presumed status in Beryl's eyes, she probably wouldn't take kindly to reminders.
Even so, she's not taken aback for long, not once she sees Jupiter. The dark fuku accents tell her why the other girl is in the Dark Kingdom, and it's enough to become involved in the situation. Mercury heads straight for the other senshi, with every expectation of the youma clearing the way for her as well. After all, they are expendable.
The youma hardly view themselves as expendable. But they're well familiar with the Dark Kingdom's Sailor Mercury, Lieutenant Nabu. Even if her uniform's retardedly different from what they're used to. Maybe Beryl allowed her to change hers. They part for her, both because she outranks most of them, and because the change in uniform is something they don't understand. Perhaps an even higher promotion.
Jupiter presses along the wall, glaring youma out of her way, until she spots Mercury coming towards her. Several expressions cross her face in an instant. Hope, confusion, and then an odd mix of agony and embarrassment. She doesn't acknowledge Mercury, choosing to continue toward her room in the barracks. After all Nabu had still been flipping out over her getting injured when she last saw her friendpartner. She doesn't want a lecture.
This is interesting. Just what has she walked into? The only Dark Kingdom senshi she knows she's met until now would have greeted her immediately even in that state. Mercury watches Marduk for a moment before deciding to follow her. After all, she wants information now.
With the youma staying mostly out of her way, Mercury catches up to the other girl quickly, just before they reach the barracks.
"Just what happened exactly?" The question is pretty blunt, and clearly expects an answer.
The look of pure fury Marduk gives her may seem a little familiar, but her face crumples in pain before it lasts too long. "Why play games with me, Nabu? You were there." She continues on a bit. "I lost, all right! I GET IT! I challenged a fucking Senshi from another world and she beat us. So just fuck off and leave me alone!" There's more than anger in that voice, more than just pain. It's the sound of someone trying desperately not to cry.
After a moment, her knees buckle, and she collapses, holding herself off the ground with just her hands. The Dark Senshi whirls her head to look at Mercury with fear in her eyes. Even her voice is shaking. "I'm sorry Nabu, don't leave me! It just. It hurts. You're not leaving, right?" It's almost like watching the biggest puppy in the world after being told to 'stay' after its master walks around the corner.
