Nephrite is on a quest to regain his Shitennou powers again.
He's damned tired of feeling sorry for what he has become. If this place can offer a chance for him to get back what he has lost, then by all means he will do whatever it takes.
If Nephrite succeeds, then he will surely make people pay dearly for the shame he has endured.
...yes, that

"There should be a rift near the bridge," she says. Just like in her world. "This way."

"Are you sure?" he asks. There seems to be nothing wrong with the bridge. How the hell will they know where to look?

"It's there," she says. By now, if Nephrite squints really hard, he can probably see it, too, like a heat-induced shimmer.

...and finds nothing.
"I don't see anything." He sounds a bit put off. "If this is a ploy, Mercury--"
He leaves that off as a threat, hoping she would forget he has no powers that can be used to follow through that threat.

Kunzite forces him to think back on that fateful day, even the days leading to it.
He tells of his mission as a Shitennou - finding the ginzuishou and the princess, about the senshis - even mentions how his Kunzite abducted his own version of Mercury as well. But he emphasizes on how Mercury gets freed from Kunzite's power, and, arrogantly, brags on how he, Nephrite, manages to save the freed senshi from Kunzite's wrath.
He then speaks, in a softer voice, how he has lost Beryl-sama's favor, which resulted in him being the sacrificial lamb in her game of getting Endymion for herself.
Nephrite finishes the tale with eyes cast down.
"So you see," Nephrite says, "I have every reason to kill Beryl-sama." He cannot drop the honorific, not yet anyway.

Kunzite, meanwhile, fully expects to know every bit of relevant information that his subordinate knows. Why has she withheld it? Has she been planning something? Is that why she has brought this Nephrite here? Is Nephrite even playing a double game to incur Kunzite's wrath against Mercury in payment for her antics earlier ( ... )

He has been talking about Beryl-sama for some time now, and Kunzite chooses this moment to say what he did. Which, considering Beryl-sama is not within Kunzite's grasp, is pretty stupid and unrelated to what Nephrite was saying.

Kunzite brings his focus back to the next matter at hand, with a last glare at Nephrite.
"I do not plan to free Mercury," he specifies. "As for the witch, when she is gone, the shitennou will become strong again."

At least now he has a purpose, a goal.
He is dangerously, deliciously close to regaining his former life again, and to make amends and changes that he has been deprived of.
Nephrite was so close to paying homage to Kunzite by kissing his feet.
But hell will have frozen over before that happens.
Or at least, until he has his powers back.

"If you don't do it," she remarks, "There's no chance of doing anything but sweeping floors for a very long time."

"Do you have any idea where the stones are?" he asks. He momentarily thinks about a possibility: had Kunzite found these stones, and had he taken his to increase his power?
