Sailor Cetus, with Phact’s group. Walking backward wasn’t an easy thing, it was a bit awkward for him, but at least he was barefoot. This would have been impossible had he those geta on his feet. His socked feet were much better for this task. Turning his golden eyes to Kastra, for a single moment, his gaze returned to the youma they had to watch. “You will be fine, do not worry.” He said, hoping to give her some confidence and comfort. “We will get out of here and you will help us do so.” He continued for a moment before an incoming youma had his attention, the poor damn youma.
The movements were quick, sharp, and almost looked like children slapping at each other. But each movement was with purpose and struck its mark and sent the youma to the ground. The movements looked like slaps to most people but to him it was like a crane – as it should be. With the youma dusted on the ground he moved to get back into position at Kastra’s side. “I can keep us both safe, do not worry.” He was confident in his own skills and against a youma it wasn’t too hard a match, at least not at this point anyway…some of them did look big though and rather…intimidating even to him. He hoped he didn’t come up against one of those hulking, towering, figures.

Venice of Ganymede, with Phact’s group.
Surprised by the youma which appeared, and was dealt with swiftly by Erebus, Venice was alert and looking around. He had not seen that one headed for them, though with how many were around it was hard to spot them all. It was all just a bit overwhelming and he just wanted to get out of here.
Looking around he spotted his princess off with a group of her own. What they were doing he didn’t know though he was curious and kept his eyes in that direction. “Should all be together…big group.” He said slowly for just Erebus to hear. “Better chance of getting out….separate means dividing is easy for them.” Nodding his head toward the Negaverse agents. As things soon progressed, as the fighting started and people fell; dead or injured, he reached for the others sleeve and held tight. He was nervous, not frightened, but this wasn’t something he was confident about. The page also didn’t want to somehow be separated from the squire.
The group was becoming separated by space and youma and Venice hurried to keep up while noting someone else headed their way, a good thing? He didn’t know them but hoped it was someone else to join them and help out. They needed to get those starseeds out of here, from there he didn’t know what would happen but it had to be better than remaining down here- right?

Page Gorner of Castor. With Athene’s group.
”This is fine Athene.” She said remembering the others name. “Nothing we can do about these sorts of things. We can just make the best of it and go from there.” She said smiling as she greeted the mauvian in human-ish form. “It’s good to see you again Liryn.” Looking over the cat turned sort of human she felt a smile tugging at her lips, that outfit was adorable on him!
Nodding her head to Athene she smiled. “Sounds like a plan. We should make a run for it and hope that no one has time to react or catch us.” No time to get a grip on them, aside from something weak and breakable. She did take note of his warning about which one to keep away from, and looking toward the figure she had to agree. “She’s fierce…” She said nodding her head, short red hair bouncing. “She’s intimidating…but controlled.” That made her especially dangerous. Controlled and perhaps rage filled…it meant she could think while in a rage and that was never good, she knew this. A person who raged and lashed out without thought was easier to win against or manipulate. This one though…yeah – keep away from.
The newly arrived knight and guardian cat got Gorner’s attention and she huffed out a breath and crossed her arms over her chest. “What makes you think you need to stay back at all, that we can’t get through together?” Shaking her head she sighed. “We should join that group.” Pointing to Phact’s group. “They have, in a Polaris knights coat a whole load of starseeds they gotta get out of here. We found them down in some sort of medical building. We managed to get them all but need to get them out.” She said looking over the members of her group. “It would give us more people and more magic as well, more chance to get out – together.” She said deciding to add to what her cousin had said, to back her up in her own way. They would get out – together if she had to grab the knight and the winged one and drag them out with the group herself – she would do it. She was also offering another option, to join with a bigger group with more people. It would benefit both sides perhaps.

Delphi, Squire of Polaris – with Phact’s group making for the exit. In the center of the group along with Havasu and Nirvana the squire stood strong and tall, she’d regret it all later. Her scepter was in her hand at the ready. She didn’t know how much more magic she had available to herself but she would use it if and when need be. If she could keep the precious starseeds safe and get them out of here she would. She wasn’t about to try and sacrifice herself, she wasn’t nearly that stupid, but she would get the objective out of here safely.
As they made their way behind the bull, using it as something of a shield, she looked around them, taking in the fighting and death going on about them and was glad she wasn’t involved in all of that. Watching Havasu she felt for him, he needed medical care and he was pushing himself more than he should, he would feel that by the end of the night. She did hope he was able to tend to himself after this – it was important. She was glad she had at least taken this burden from him, so he didn’t have to handle the weight of the starseeds. Who would have thought they’d weigh so much? She certainly had not. She wasn’t going to go back on this self-taken task though – no way in hell.
Holding the line, keeping her position, she moved to keep up with Phact, Sidouer and Sabine, letting them keep in front of her, Havasu, and Nirvana. Behind her she noticed a bit off from them where Kasta, Cetus and the cat they had with them. “Hurry!” Calling over her should to them. Turning back around she spotted another knight coming their way and sighed in relief, more help – good. A mars knight from what she could tell, maybe he’d have better magic than she did? Something a bit more…useful in a battle, not that she could really use magic with one hand holding onto her tied up, makeshift, sack for a coat that housed a load of starseeds.

Slievenamon, Page of Neptune
Slievenamon did not have a propensity for staring; in fact, she was apt to correct anyone who said she did and instead remark she was observing a situation to learn something about it. So when she slowed down again to observe Laurelite, it was more than obvious, even to her, that she was indeed staring. She had never seen death come so easily and she winced at the souls taken by the General-Queen's scythe with each clean cut. The page wanted to run, but she continued to stare; her stomach clenching when the Eternal Senshi got a blade to the gut. She wanted to cry out to them, for them, but she didn't even know their name. They were but another soul lost to this battle, if one could even call it that.

Birbite, Disposable Lieutenant
Birbite exchanged nods with Banananite, standing his ground with his comrade. Even with the threats coming his way, he didn't seem like he'd budge, and remained stringently silent on the matter.
To Oort, he thinned his lips and glanced away before he could the chibi more of his attention. His words seemed to slip in one ear and out the other.
Ambrosia's words stirred him a second. "Then make us!" he shot back to her, side-glancing at Banananite. "We're not letting you through!"
Tomlin certainly got his attention, if only for the time behind; his feet didn't move in the guardian cat's direction, but his eyes were fully pinned to him. "Shut it, you fleabag," Birbite said, jabbing his parakeet toy in the cat's direction. He was never fond of cats, anyway.
”And by rectum, she means your a**,” Oberon chirped as he stood, prepared to fight alongside Perdita if it was necessary. And with how stubborn these Negaverse officers were, he fully expected a fight to break out. “She’s right. She totally beat the crap out of those other officers,” he agreed with a nod, his mop still at the ready.
Birbite didn’t seem as though he was ready to move, and so he was the first one Oberon lunged for, swinging the head of the mop at the Lieutenant’s leg to try and trip him up. “You’re really going to try and kill some kids?” he said in exasperation, shaking his head in shame. “Your lady is a crazy b***h,” he said, turning to try and bop Banananite on the head.
Hey, he was sure Perdita would try and take them both out, so he would just have to fight, first!
Oort! Ambrosia! he called to the two over his shoulder. “See if you can take down this guy,” he said, trying to poke Banananite with his mop again. “If they don’t back off, we can just tie them up so they can’t follow us,” he suggested. Killing people wasn’t really his thing. He would probably try to knock them out, if anything. Hopefully they could just scare them away.
Varuna waited to make sure Palatine was close behind, not wanting to leave the Venus knight on her own. These knights had such strange magic, and they weren’t very offensive. Sure, they had weapons, what what good could that really do?
She was a little surprised when the Mars squire (Themiscrya) commented on liking her magic. In a battle like this with as much carnage and death as there was, the small compliment had her blushing, but it definitely boosted her confidence. She nodded to the squire in thanks, a small grin appearing on her lips.
When Kairatos called for cover, Varuna rotated her wrists in preparation for using her attack once more. She was ready to use up all her energy if necessary to help pave the way to get people out.
But they were coming up on a bigger problem. The General Queen was dead ahead, and if they intended on leaving there alive, she knew they had to help take her down. Another squire (Scholomance) offered his magic as coverage, which suited Varuna just fine. She could save her quickly deteriorating energy until she needed it.

Sailor Chibi Perdita, with Oberon, Chara, and the Chibi group, fighting Disposables Birbite and Banananite
Perdita was kind of disappointed when the Lieutenants didn't just give up and run away. That meant their group would have to fight them, and though she had no problem doing that, she didn't want anyone to get hurt in the process.
She felt a little bad for Banananite, who seemed a bit scared. Either that, or he had a stutter.
That made Perdita feel kind of guilty. She didn't know why, really. It was easy to look beyond more vicious officers' humanity, but when it came to other ones, those who seemed hesitant to attack, she could only wonder what they must be like out of uniform. Did they have a family? Were they mere children, too? Would people mourn for them when they were gone?
If they were gone. She had no intention of killing them. If these two were to die tonight, someone else was going to have to do it.
Sadly, neither Lieutenant listened to any of their warnings.
Okay, then. Time to make them regret it.
As Tomlin skipped passed and drew Birbite's attention away from their group, Perdita joined Oberon in lunging for him, aiming her broom toward the side of Birbite's head as Oberon went for the Lieutenant's leg.
“You should have listened when you had the chance,” she warned them.

Palatine, Squire of Venus
Palatine watched Kairatos elbow his way forward. Before she moved to follow him, Palatine turned to observe the Squire of Saturn (Scholomance) and the Senshi with him (Centisima).
“You're hurt,” she said unnecessarily, looking down at the Squire's leg.
She summoned her teapot without another word. She tapped into her magic, and the pink pot filled with warm tea.
“I can heal that a bit, if you'd like,” she offered. “It's usually good for swelling, bruises, and minor cuts. Tends to heal those real quick. It probably won't completely heal your leg, but it'll at least speed up the process and take some of the pain away. Might make walking a little easier for you.”
Palatine wasn't entirely comfortable standing around for very long when there were so many agents and youma around. Not to mention a General Queen they should not be letting their attention stray from. There was no telling when the General Queen would decide to make any one of them a target. She was already doing a pretty good job of butchering them. She made it seem so simple, like she didn't even need her other agents.
But the Squire likely wouldn't be able to make a proper run for the portal with his leg in the state it was. Even if Palatine couldn't heal much of the damage that'd been done to it, getting a handle on the pain should be enough for the time being.
Palatine moved a little closer, eyeing the Squire to make sure she wasn't overstepping her bounds, holding her teapot so that she could start pouring as soon as he gave the okay.
Quote:
Palatine's Magic In tapping into her magic, Palatine’s teapot fills with warm tea. The tea can be poured onto mild injuries in order to heal them—swelling and bruises diminish, scrapes and minor cuts heal, etc. The injured areas might still be a bit tender to touch, but the rate of healing is accelerated significantly. Palatine’s magic can last for a total of 30 seconds of continuous pouring, but would more likely be broken up into shorter durations depending on the amount of injuries.

Feel free to puppet her actually pouring the tea if Schol wants some relief for his poor leg!

Sailor Chara of Chocolate
Chara new exactly how dangerous this entire situation was. The entire thing was just like the train station, except now they were on the Negaverse's turf, and there was no simple way to stop anything. Generals weren't the only terrifying thing here... There was also the huge amount of youma lurking around. Luckily, it seemed like they weren't the primary focus of it all, and only a few annoying Lieutenants were blocking their way from safety. Nothing was going to stop them, NOTHING.
Though all he could say at this time in his head atleast was 'DAYUM PERDITA!'. She was so full of threats and promises that Chara couldn't even make his jaw stop dropping. WHY did this whole situation have to be all dangerous and s**t?! Why couldn't this just be like, him and the small gang of younger senshi beating up some mindless youma? Like some super mega awesome training session. No. This was real, this was life or death, so admiring would have to be for later.
Though Perdita and Oberon went after Birbite there was no way in hell he was going to let Banananite get away! He ran after him, pulling the ribbon off of his waist and twisting it up quickly like one would do with a towel.
"Like hell you're keeping us from leaving, a*****e!" With a quick, forceful snap of his wrist, he aimed for Banananite's head hoping to atleast stun him for the other Chibis to attack him off guard.
Corvus, Eternal Senshi of Vengeance - Entering by Portal
Somewhere deep inside Sailor Corvus existed a teenage girl who had once had a very strong sense of self preservation. Upon awakening and discovering the nature of her abilities, that teenage girl had been pushed aside only to awaken now that they were inside the Negaverse this close to more youma and dark auras than she had ever felt before. Her breath caught as terror welled up faster than she could push it back down.
Her fingers flexed and then curled into fists as she steeled herself again, searching for that resolve that had made her chase after Celsus and Denebola. No mission was ever simple. No battle was ever easy.
If you're going to get hit, keep your chin down and your eyes up.
"We're all in this together, and we're leaving together. Let's go." She nodded in one last agreement before following the other two once more, this time down into the fray. If they made it out -- When -- When they made it out they could worry about apologies. Then, and not sooner.

Androncius Squire of Uranus - Kairatos' Group
She kept trying to get her out of there. Andronicus sighed, glancing over to the portal, then back.
"Not enough to sprint from here to the portal through all of them. Def 'not enough to get around her." The General Queen would be hard to get around, even as it was. She looked at Kairatos, waving her mace.
"Blast people with compressed gales. Close combat. Not good for much else," she said with a shrug. Most likely, they were going through the Queen to get out. Damn.

Iduna panted, but she'd come out of the fight with the youma unscathed. "I'm okay!" She said to Ambrosia. Then they were fighting agents of Chaos and it was very clear that five or six chibis still had trouble against two agents.
"One Bad Apple!" she called, dropping a rotten apple onto Bananabite's head to help take him down. Rotten apples didn't do much, but it would distract him so someone like Chara could get a final hit on him.
Better the agents than the youma, she thought. At least she knew where to hit guys if they got too close! Youma didn't have weak spots.

Sailor Skoll - With Hati
Skoll regarded the agent with a sigh and an almost tutting sound. Really. Ignoring her to go after her brother? Should she feel flattered? Hati did a great job of taking the hits and giving them back. Perhaps she should just let the boys handle it and rough it out for a little while. Let go of aggression and calm down.
Naaaawww.
"Oi!" She said, aiming a round house kick for Bloodstone's head. "Weak spot."
Skoll flashed a feral grin down to Hati. Had she sharp canines, they would have pricked her bottom lip. She might be tired, she might ache something fierce, but damn if she didn't love fighting and get a rush out of it. Besides, he was beating on her twin. That was a big no-no with her.
Mauvian Liryn -- with Athene, Alcor, Eleonora Gorner, Snowball and Niflhel
Liryn couldn't help but wonder just how many times he was going to need to have the same conversation with Athene because there were times when the dark-haired eternal could be extremely stupid.
After all it wasn't the first time that he'd had to talk to the other about being left behind and if Athene thought to try to do so this time round in order to try and fight the General Queen on his own, then he was quickly going to find that he had another thing coming.
That he himself had had similar thoughts to the Eternal was - at least by his book - different. After all it was his duty as a mauvian to protect and it was one that he took very seriously.
He looked at Athene sternly "I'm staying" he said simply, before turning to look at Niflhel and the three-headed beast that he had summoned as he continued "Wow that's a pretty nifty trick" and it was - particularly when the heads started snarling at any youma that was stupid to get close and attempted to take chunks out of them.
He turned to look at Snowball at the taller mauvian's question, shaking his head as he did so "We should stick together rather than try to split the group" because it would make it easier for them to both watch for threats as well as watch over the group.
Not to mention the fact that Eleonora, Alcor and Gorner had all made it pretty clear that they weren't going to go.
Eternal Athene -- with Liryn, Alcor, Eleonora Gorner, Snowball and Niflhel and heading off to help Ananke and Subamara
The look of startlement on Athene's face at the sound of a voice speaking out as if on cue was perhaps almost comical.
Or at least it would have been if not for the fact that they were currently stuck in Negaspace with a bunch of youma and Nega-officers between them and the portal back - all of whom were out for their blood.
"Niflhel and Snowball too."
Truth be told Athene was relieved to see that the pair had both managed to make it out safely - although 'safely' was relative given their current position.
And he was equally glad that if it came to it and he had to try and stall the General Queen that he would have a bit of back up in doing so, but hopefully it would give the rest of their assembled group more time in which to run...
At least that had been his hastily mentally cobbled up plan should the worst happen and the General Queen decide to turn her murderous attention their way.
Because Athene hadn't bothered kidding himself about his chances - because even with Niflhel to help, he didn't think that they'd be able to hold the scythe-wielding General Queen off for long.
Eleonora's refusal was followed swiftly by Alcor's and then Gorner's and by the time that Liryn added his own to the mix Athene was starting to feel royally scolded.
"I wasn't looking to go on some crusade" he said as he glanced towards Eleonora, before shifting to look at and take in the others because to be honest the thought had been far from his mind. "And I didn't mean to belittle or disparage anyone's abilities - I just want you all safe."
He wanted them safe and it wasn't safe and if he was being honest the thought that he might have to face off against a woman who was cutting through people like butter terrified him - even if he was trying very, very hard not to show it and probably failing.
It didn't look like he was going to manage to convince any of the group of the wisdom of trying to make a break for it though because Liryn had a look on his face that would not look out of place on a mule and the expression was one that was being mirrored by Eleonora.
Gorner's suggestion that they make for and link up with a bigger group had merit and Athene was giving it some serious consideration and would have probably agreed if not for the fact that he had picked that moment to look out on the fighting to see where the General Queen was and had spotted the two senshi.
Both of them were alone - or at least appeared to be alone - the second a little further from the first and whilst not in her direct orbit they were both a lot closer to the General Queen than he liked.
And even if they hadn't been they were still both alone - alone in a place full of things and people that wanted all their blood.
In fact Athene had actually taken a couple of steps forward in their direction before realising what he was doing and turning to face the group.
"I'm going to go and get those two senshi" he said, "Because they are on their own and that's dangerous" and as he spoke he tried very hard not to think about the fact that going to get them would put him a lot closer to the General Queen than he really wanted to be.
He had to go though because he couldn't just leave them, particularly given the fact that one of the pair was Subamara and one of his friends.
"I won't tell you to stay behind" because whilst he hated the idea of them coming, he wasn't their leader and had no right to give orders...
And besides Alcor had been right when she had said that they had known the risks when they had made the decision to enter Caedus' portal - because it wasn't as if Caedus had forced them to step through. "But I have to point out that the General Queen is also in that general direction."
For his part however, Athene's choice was already made as he started to head in the direction of the two senshi.

Chibi Oort -- Chibi group (with Perdita, Oberon, Tomlin, Chara, Ambrosia, Cadmus and Iduna) facing off against Disposable Banananite and Disposable Birbite
Tomlin'sdash had been unexpected however it had seemed to distract the two Nega-Officers some and Perdita had taken the chance to swing her broom at the one with the stupid bird thing (Birbite) who had shook his toy thingie at Tomlin.
Oort hadn't felt any sympathy for the other however as he had already said his piece on the matter and it wasn't his fault that the toy bird man hadn't wanted to listen and so instead he had nodded when Oberon asked him and Ambrosia to deal with the other guy (Banananite) and with the intention of trying to kick the Nega-guy on the shins, but then had ended up distracted when another unfamiliar senshi (Etamin) made a grab for Tomlin "Hey! Tomlin watch out!"
The Nega-guy was in the way though and so Oort couldn't do more than shout a warning to the star cat before turning his attention to try and kick Banananite on the shins as hard as he could.
He had followed Alkaid, not wanting to get himself stuck in the castle longer than needed. There were tasks yet uncompleted, and he was supposed to see them through. While he could feel them getting closer to the energy signatures, the hum of energy sending goose flesh to crawl up his skin. Chaos was like a cold hand, and yet the searing heat of raw power melded with it to form an otherworldly sensation. He followed guidance up stairs and through halls until they reached the path to the portal, and the sight of fighting drew a deep sigh from him.
They had failed spectacularly, and now, they were being trapped by their own folly. No one to form a plan of retreat, none left to protect the portal on this side, to keep the path open. Foolish mistakes, that now, looking at the dead bodies of senshi and agent alike, were costing them. It had been a crap shoot plan to start with, and the loss of life, a pointless loss had they actually formed a decent strategy and attack, was sickening even to him.
There would be no balance in this. There would just be retaliation- they might laim they had a victory but as far as he could tell, this was a loss. Nothing more than a farce of an infiltration. "Well." He said looking at the general ascendant. "It seems I'll have a bit of work. But I promise, we'll finish before I go." He stepped forward, spinning to look at his guide once more before bowing, wings fanning out in pure display. Yet as he rose from the bow, the smile of a man who would kill and think not of it was there. Annoyed, disgusted by the loss of life- yet willing to see the body count rise.All to serve the greater purpose. Besides. They'd come to far to turn back now. "Wait for me." A wink given, the laurels were pulled off his brow before he took stock of the larger, more deadly and vicious youma.
"Castor Tiara Magic!" The laurels thrown changed into the glowing disk of white, flying towards the creatures with one purpose. To obliterate them, permanently.
