This ended up a bit too Admiral Ackbar at Ebaq Nine for Zoisite. I should have found a way to get Kunzite into it somehow too like he is in my head.

“I think you do yourself a disserve with your ‘no surrender’ policy.”
Sailor Mars eyed the general from Earth. “We can’t all be cowards who run away in a shower of cherry blossom petals.”
For once Zoisite didn’t rise to the bait. “Strategically. If you will not retreat, you cut off so many opportunities to regroup, to attack later when you are strong.”
“We attack until our enemies are destroyed, then we move on.”
“It’s a trap any good general could use against you. It makes you predictable.”
“Call me that again.”
The slender man stepped out of the way of her first punch and the fireball that followed it. “Predictable, overconfident, arrogant.”
“I’ll show you how determination can stand to cowardice.”
He used only the slightest effort to teleport to get her to chase him and dodged little enough to set his sleeves smoking. When she seized up with fatigue, he tapped her head to send her tumbling down in a heap.
“I won’t ask you to yield then,” he said mockingly.
