She saw Meril hesitate, which made her relieved, she felt Venus at her side which made her grateful, but when she saw Mars, her precious Mars in all her passionate, warring glory? She felt so proud. She was always in love with how strong her senshi were, how capable and beautiful they were in their own way and how it made others strong too, how it made her stronger because of their own strength.
Sailor Moon was, perhaps amongst all the senshi, able to take the strongest hits. Not because she was the stronger than Makoto or Haruka physically, not even close, but the ginzuishou was already healing her, all the scrapes and cuts slowly disappearing from her body when her senshi body could not provide what she needed. She took a deep breath and used Venus' help to stand, even shaking as she did.
"Meril," she called out, pleading as she watched Mars, arms spread wide in front of her between them. "Meril please, listen to her! Even now... even now we're asking not to fight... If Rei didn't love you... if we didn't want to see you all safely brought home, to your real home, we wouldn't be doing this, we wouldn't be here. But she loves you, Meril," she pleaded, her knees wobbling and she held onto Venus a bit tighter before using sheer willpower alone to stand upright.
"Please, we're not your enemy," she hoped, she prayed that even now Meril could see all their attacks had been to divert, to protect, to be effective with the least amount of damage to her.
She tried to flex her wings, wanting to be by Rei's side, but the pain shot up her spine and she panted, having to hold onto Venus more than before now. Alright, maybe... wait on that action again, at least until her crystal could take care of that area too.
