(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: I need to talk to you and the boys very, very soon. Mamo-kun gave me an important clue and I have important stuff to tell you about his condition.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i'm usually at the hospital these days, unless someone makes me go home

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: the boys too. and anything you share with one of them they'll all share

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: can you tell me any of it now?

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: Well first off, I have good news to go with the bad news. The good news is, he's responding physically to magical healing, and I intend to drop by at least once a day and rustle up as many other people from the minor medical leagues as I can.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: The bad news is, the reason he's not responding to energy transfer or able to use his magic is because... How to put it. Sunbreaker didn't steal his Linker Core, but she did basically transplant what it makes into herself? Like... He's making energy, and all the structures that are in anyone magical are there, but they're all flowing away. Like if you put an empty battery on a charger, but someone else put a thing between the charger and battery that gets all the charge. Battery can't fill back up.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: Good news out of that bad news is, I think that gives us a way to pick a time and place to get it all back.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: That last one I want to discuss in person, though. Under as much security as we can get. I'll bring snacks.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i thought so. Mercury said there was no magic, and he's empty, and the silver crystal couldn't do anything

[A pause]

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: if you mean because i can track her, i did guess that at least.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: if mamochan wasn't so scared she'd take everything from the rest of us i'd already be on her like white on rice

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: god i hate her right now.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: I don't blame you. And it's not just you; he has a connection to the boys, right? Between the five of you that's a really powerful locator.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: Mamo-kun said it was your connections to each other that let us all teleport out of the echo, to him. Well... His end of the connection is on her, right now.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: So we gather up as many people as we possibly can and just fall on her.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: yes. yes it is. we know exactly where she is. honestly i'm pleased with them for not trying to outright kill her the way she deserves.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: but that was Mamochan's thought too. we get as many as we can, maybe even more than the shrine if we can, and we come down on her as hard as we can.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: I'm glad too. This is gonna be dangerous enough with everyone, the more people that try for her before were ready, the more people we won't have when we are.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: exactly. we have to be united if we're going to get back what she stole.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: It'll be okay, Usa-chan. He'll be okay. We can do this.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I know we can. One way or the other, he'll be okay, and so will everyone else she hurt.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: I know you don't need to hear it, but it'll probably help to hear it from me; I understand how much you hate her right now. Every time I get worried I think of how I'd feel if she did that to Chrono. So I'm not gonna be stupid with my words. I'm just gonna stand by my friend.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: Also d'you want me to put your name on the contact list for scheduling healing visitors?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: mamochan says she got her stupid self possessed.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: because she's the stupidest genius i know

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: because of that and because she's my friend i want to save her

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: but if we can't, I know we won't fail to save everyone else.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: yes please. if only so i know who not to bug. i already cried on chiyo-chan

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: If we do everything we can to keep that from happening, then we did everything we can.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: If we can't, then I'll hate it but we did everything we can.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: we'll all hate it.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: well, okay, zoisite and jadeite might not.

(PHONE) Rashmi Terios texts: If she's possessed and she ends up living through this, I am gonna give her such a hard time about throwing all that shade at Beryl and then stealing her patron-paychecks.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: oh if she lives through this i am going to mock her for the rest of her life

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: so much for definitely knows what she's doing, right

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: Anyone who says 'I know what I'm doing' is just afraid to admit they absolutely have no idea what'll happen.
