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.)

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?!"

"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.

"I know!" hoisting her hand back into the air, the Moon Stick, almost primitive in this form, took shape in her hand.

"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.

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 -- "

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.

"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.
