Create a new future for yourself
"So instead of having to become a youma, please kill me!"
She's lived this too many times to think he's not serious. This boy would rather throw his life away than to live as she has lived, reborn within the Darkness. Mercury glances away. She's lived this too many times to be disturbed, and yet something inside her won't be quiet. He's led her to the same place, she notes, a secluded side street, as if he was hoping to keep bystanders away.
"Youma Bunbo," she addresses him, "If there's a future you don't want to see, then fight to make the one you want."
Before he can even answer, there's a sound of mocking laughter. Zoisite arrives, and extracts the warrior youma reincarnated inside this pacifistic human boy. It's enormous, like a giant machine, fitted with razors for arms. The yellow rainbow crystal sealed within the monster carries a faint glow as it emerges. She reaches for it, but just then, the shitennou orders the youma to attack the sailor senshi.
Incredibly, impossibly, it attacks Zoisite instead. It rears back to its full, massive height and throws itself at its target. Even Mercury takes in a sharp breath of surprise at the boy who managed to retain his human mind even in a youma's form. The force of the blow knocks the crystal from the general's hands, and she recovers herself to spring forward and snatch it up.
She doesn't fully understand it herself, but in that moment, Mercury becomes conscious that she wants it to end differently this time.
(ooc: waking life version of events from several ic years ago here. characters replying will be able to help it diverge and change the ending.)

The girl struck a pose, coming into view, "I'm the pretty soldier of love and justice, Sailormoon!" And indeed it was, clad in her fuku from her first incarnation as a sailor suited heroine. "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"
no subject
Then he smirked. "What a touching scene!" he taunted, "but it ends here." The shitennou raised his hand with the black crystal, and directed its power towards the youma. Slowly, inexorably, it gained ground... and Youma Bunbo turned his massive form towards the two senshi. The light glinted off his metal frame. This time, he was after them.
Mercury moved quickly. Her one advantage against that thing's size was going to be speed, and it was best to choose the battleground.

"M-Mercury, is that really Urawa-kun?!"
no subject
"That is a youma that will kill you." And she had no intention of dying here, or letting it be the one to have Sailor Moon. With a sharp glance at the youma, ice grew over it quickly - but with its size and strength, the glimmering prison wouldn't hold more than a few seconds.
no subject
"I know!" hoisting her hand back into the air, the Moon Stick, almost primitive in this form, took shape in her hand.
no subject
"Are you sure you want to challenge me, Zoisite?" she taunted, before a sharp strike against the air sent an arc of blue energy straight for him.
She caught the glint of the moon stick out of the corner of her eye. If Sailor Moon intended to try to separate the youma from its human carrier, she wouldn't stop that. She'd still be able to get the keep the yellow crystal.
no subject
With her wand in hand now, she began to power up her attack, knowing that her friend would protect her should Zoisite try something in the meantime -- and trusting in her to be able to handle whatever challenge might be sent their way. "Moon... Healing -- "
no subject
Bunbo reared to his full height, and charged Sailor Moon just as her power started to rise and swell. It didn't seem to deter him, and he headed on a straight collision course with the moon senshi and her glimmering light.

A blast of energy came from nowhere, distracting Bunbo just in time to keep him from reaching Sailor Moon. Mercury could tell herself, and it would be true, that she was doing it because it would buy time for the plan. But that youma was also going to get away from Sailor Moon.
With the distraction, the power had time to settle, and with a great, shuddering cry, the youma staggered in its steps. It called out a single word, and the form of Urawa Ryo replaced it, in the middle of lunging towards Mercury. He slumped to the ground. Mercury's eyes stayed on him, but she held back.
no subject
"We did it, Mercury!" she cried, cheerily. "Urawa-kun is going to be okay."
no subject
If she were a different person, she might have hurried to Urawa's side, to check his condition and find medical help. Instead, she turned to go. She paused in her steps only briefly.
"Farewell, Urawa Ryo."

"There's nothing more to be done here," says Mercury. "That boy will recover." She doesn't repeat the gesture of giving him his name.
And a part of her wonders if he'd even be willing to owe anything to her. Instead of finding out, something in her prefers to be gone by the time he wakes up.
no subject
Kanda had arrived just in time to see the giant monster attack the other person. He didn't know what or who they were but he had seen the monster attack the guy who ordered him to attack Ami, that made him somewhat an ally.
"What the hell is that thing." He had his sword out just in case the monster couldn't handle the job. He wasn't going to hesitate on beheading the damned blond. He just needed to be sure that thing was a friendly.
no subject
There was no time for surprise. Zoisite was in the middle of throwing a tantrum at yet another unexpected arrival, but he managed to hold himself together enough to hold up that black crystal again. Energy arced from it towards the machine-like monster. Inexorably, it gained ground, and this time the huge thing turned its massive form towards Mercury - and Kanda.
She wasn't slow to seize the advantage of its brief confusion. She answered while she was already moving. "A youma."
Something compelled her to add, "And before that, a human boy." He deserved at least that much recognition, after managing to hold it together even this long.
no subject
"Do I kill it?" He didn't have time to ask a hundred questions, he didn't even know what half the names she gave meant. When the thing charged, however, Kinda moved forward to protect the Scout.
no subject
Everything in her that's from the Dark Kingdom is ready to say yes. Everything in her that's something more wants to say no.
"If the youma and the person can't be separated." As far as she knows, it's as good as a yes. The power to return someone to normal from this is.... rare, to understate it drastically.
no subject
"Surrender or die." He warned before attacking the guy, this time Kanda wasn't holding back.
no subject
Well. They could make Zoisite tell them.
"Hmph!" the blond sneered right on cue. "Is Sailor Mercury cheating on her youma boyfriend over there already?" The smug expression changed quickly as he prepared to fight. "As if you'd be a match for a general of the Dark Kingdom!" Palm outward, he sent a strong blast of energy straight for Kanda.
Mercury worked quickly. She glanced at some point between the two combatants, and a heavy mist started to rise over the area, obscuring visibility. She quietly moved in, looking for her chance to try for the crystal. Bunbo, lost, wavered from side to side but stayed in one place as it tried to locate its target.
