You can join Usagi's fight here, consider it as if it's an entry on its owninverted_moonJuly 2 2010, 12:32:32 UTC
Usagi expected a trial, it had been like that with the previous crystals, why would it be different now? She didn't expect this thought. She isn't even sure what this is.
It's almost as if fate was laughing at her, she had spent the previous night thinking about who she was. About how some claim that she's nothing like the Moon Princess, while others claim that she's exactly the same as the other alternates. Even in her own world, how many times she has heard the words 'you haven't changed'?
So to see that her enemy is herself this time... Or a twisted self of her... She doesn't know if she's supposed to laugh or not. She's supposed to fight this, right? Or not? What is Mercury's trial exactly?

He's not afraid. That would be beneath him. But he's angry that he's so weak, so powerless, when these creatures - he assumes them to be youma - are about to attack. He takes a guarded stance anyway and lunges at the nearest one, grappling for a firm enough hold to throw it.
Nephrite, in all his dark-haired, human lack of glory, is here.
He should be afraid, that's what the Death Busters want. Fear brings out more delicious negative emotions, they want them all, they need them all, to grow stronger, to become stronger than the seals placed on them that force them to lurk here.
Nephrite's efforts are rewarded, he gets to throw one around, but it doesn't seem to have much effect as the creature lands gracefully, the shadow that forms it shifting and turning into... Nephrite himself, with bright yellow eyes and a cheerful smile. "Is that what you call an attack?" Even the voice is the same, only slightly distorted, as if many with the same voice were talking at once. "Why do you even try? You know you're just useless like this."
"Yes, why try?" Usagi's doppelgänger doesn't like being silent either, neither that her opponent doesn't seem to be moving in for an attack. "It'll be all the same anyway. You're just the same as every other alternate, you are an evil that must be obliterated, aren't you?"
ahaha sorry? ^^;akai_prideJuly 2 2010, 12:45:26 UTC
What's wrong is that it's a copy of Nephrite; Nephrite as he should be, red hair and shitennou uniform and the power Nephrite lost at Beryl's hands. He bites his lip hard enough to bring pain.
Then he gets angry. "I'll tear you apart anyway! I'm the real Nephrite!" This proclamation stems from the thousand of 'fakes' he's already met, his alternates.

She transforms the second she sees them. There's no dazzling transformation, but simply a blinding blue aura and Mercury in Ami's place. She strides forward a few strong steps, and a small motion of her wrist presents her sword. She is ready for battle.
Kunzite, too, is prepared. He reaches for his sword, and it appears in its scabbard at his hip. He draws it with a single, fluid motion. He takes a moment, first, to assess the scene in front of him, guard up and careful.
"Mercury," he says in a low voice, "Stay near." An unknown threat is best met with their combined efforts, and the expanded range the two of them close together will give them.
"Yes, stay near. Don't you dare leave his side, it's not as if you serve for anything else;" the voice is Kunzite's even if he's not the one talking, instead it's one of the creatures, soon shifting and taking the form of Kunzite. Identical in everything except for the bright glowing yellow eyes and the big cheerful smile in his face, there's definitively so much wrong there. "You're just a possession for me to play with, isn't that right?"
He's not alone thought, another one steps forward, this one taking Mercury's form, also with yellow eyes and a smile on her lips. "It's okay anyway, right? I'm not alone anymore, even if it's just as a tool soldier, I'm no longer abandoned! As long as I'm strong enough to be of use, it's so different from before? Or is it? Before the girls only wanted me for my condition as a senshi... Why am I wanted here now?"

That...
She knows it's true. No matter what she can tell herself about how they treat her now, she knows how it began. It began because no one could ever want her with them and because if it's her, no one would stay. She only belongs at Kunzite's side.
In fact, her life would be so much easier if she simply acknowledged that, if she would only say she was his, accept the place he's given her.
