It was a sudden feeling, sharp and urgent. His head jerked up from whatever it was he had been doing. Without even a thought to Beryl or informing her of anything, the youngest shitennou vanished from the apartment and appeared in the park. Noise drew his attention, as his location hadn't been exactly precise. He watched through a sparse grove of trees. Mercury, Kunzite...the master.

The boy hung back, indecisive. It was the master, but he was the enemy. (Right?) He had died and the princess had destroyed his world. In Beryl's world, he had chosen the princess even over his engagement to Beryl. Unforgivable, hurting her, his Queen. And yet there were memories of serving Endymion, being happy beneath him. But there had also been Mercury's dream, where even when it was an imagined world, he had abandoned the shitennou.

It seemed that hesitation would ultimately pay off.

Mamoru had barely left, it seemed, when Zoisite felt it. He was immediately near enough to the place to see. The fight was hardly a surprise, but it should have been, should have been unthinkable! Kunzite, leader and most loyal of the shitennou, taking arms against his own sworn lord. Zoisite's mouth clamped tightly shut, he closed his eyes as he shook his head in utter frustration.

He didn't have time to indulge in that. Without a second thought, Zoisite was heading towards the fray to come to Mamoru's aid, when he saw Jadeite almost directly in his path. Jadeite, what way would Jadeite go? Siding with the master he must remember and who was always their lord, or their former commander who had surrendered his rights with his treason?

There was a memory of a boy who could even drain the master's life, callously, uncaring, because Beryl was his 'master'. Zoisite was already ready to push by Jadeite physically if need be.

The glint of orange and red would catch Zoisite's eye off to his right. Mars, in a battle stance, held a Flame Sniper poised and ready for release. The flames licked at the arrow grasped in her hand. Her violet eyes narrowed at the white-clad Shitennou. This was not the Zoisite she remembered - the strawberry blond man in the grey and green uniform is who she remembered last seeing all those countless years ago... but she knew instinctively who it was.

"Don't take another step, Zoisite."

Jadeite saw the silver-white hair and shifted into a defensive position without thinking. Why? He would be going to defend the master. To push Kunzite and Mercury back. And that bothered him.

He lifted a hand, and energy gathered around it. The shitennou said nothing, only stared at the other, daring him to come closer, to try and get past him. Mars stood on the other side of the path to the master, also at the ready to attack. He was not alone. Somehow, it was a relief. He didn't truly want to fight Zoisite. And yet he would not falter in his decision.

Mamoru spun on his heel to turn and face Kunzite. Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit. It was the only thing going through his head right now. This was supposed to be a simple walk in the park for a breather to gather his thoughts.

"Kunzite." Mamoru took one step back, favoring his right side. "You don't have to do this."
