Pollux was a little more... tactical in how he fought. Avoiding as much of the range of the youma's reach until he saw an opening, where as Castor was fine, (and somewhat enjoying) his injuries. Pollux liked not having to explain to his board of directors why he was at hospitals thank you.
Hvergelmir, as a matter of practicality, rarely used her magic in large groups. It was inconveniently indiscriminate, and that meant it stood to cause problems not just for her enemies, but for her allies as well. In this case though, with the enemy a youma, she decided it was worth chancing: she was hoping the youma wasn't intelligent enough to understand English, and wouldn't glean the significance of her warning.
She manifested her distaff in one hand, tilting it back to settle against her shoulder, then reeled out a length of thread along with the spindle hooked into the curve. "Ida," she said to the senshi next to her. "Can you line up your last shot? When I give you the word, let fly."
She started a slow spin of her thread, raising her voice to be heard. "Everyone cover your eyes!" Hvergelmir called out.
The slow spin picked up speed, and the thread caught a spark -- which mounted till it was a loud, lightning crack, then burst outward in a blinding display of searing starlight.
Hvergelmir waited, watching to see if the youma would stay in place or stumble. Then, to Ida, she said: "Fire."

Well that wasn't very nice! Iduna scrunched up her face and summoned another apple to drop a rotten one on the giant bear's head. The chibi was starting to not like space and giant monsters so much. But she'd made it do a thing last time, so clearly the answer was to drop more apples on it's head!
It was either that or run away and find a place to hide. Then she really would be a crybaby.
"One Bad Apple!" she cried again, chewing on her apple. She squeezed her eyes shut as the white haired knight called her magic.
Quote:
Sailor Scout Attack: "One Bad Apple!" ( One use remaining! )
[ She drops a rotten apple on your head. ]
Sailor Iduna summons an apple above her opponent's head and one appears in her hand. She takes a bite of it, as anyone eating an apple would. The apple floating above her opponent's head falls and lands on them with a sickeningly rotten squish. This can be dodged if the enemy is quick enough to anticipate it. Iduna can use this three times per battle, until the apple in her hand is just a core. Iduna must do this within fifteen seconds of calling her attack, or the apple will disappear.

The Squire saw that Hugbell was let go and alright and sprinted to her side. Without thought, she snapped the chain between her hands, a rainbow barrier billowing out in front of the senshi and herself. She didn't know healing arts, but she could protect Hugbell while someone else worked on her.
"Not a healer, but this should keep the giant fluff balls off of us while you're healed," she said with a cheerful little smile to the younger senshi. Someone had to play defense, after all, and she shut her eyes at the blinding light.
Sadachbia's attempt to jump away from the youma's claws was not as successful as she hoped. The claw's edge caught her fuku near her stomach, giving her a shallow wound. She grunted in pain and fell back a bit, feeling blood flow from the wound. Gritting her teeth and refusing to let a little blood stop her, she called for another two bricks. "Sadachbian Building Blocks!"
She thrust both bricks forward and was surprised to have them hit home on the side of the youma's head. Definitely a great shot; she had shrugged off the wound better than she had thought.
Then there was a massive flash, and she wound up not closing her eyes in time. With a yelp, she squinted her eyes shut, though she would be seeing spots for a good while now.
Sadachbia hits for 8 damage!

So this was Hugbell! It looked kind of... dismal. Perhaps it had been more lively in the past. In any case, any discussion of apparent past trade agreements would have to wait. Sadachbia had gotten wounded, and so Megrez needed to step up and take point. She jumped in front of the bandage-clad senshi and called out an "Egg Toss," opting for the smaller, quicker eggs this time. Her aim was true, and she literally got egg on the youma's face.
Unlike her less experienced companion, Megrez heard Hvergelmir's call and was able to shut her eyes in time. Holy hell, that was still bright though.
Bouncing on her toes, Ash was already looking for another pieces of debri to throw at the youma when a deep male voice started calling for her. Silver ears perked up out of her blue hair as she turned to look for the source, both excited and annoyed to see her ‘rival’ on the scene. Not that he was, really. Or that there was anything all that wrong with him. He was rather… charming, in an uncouth way. But he was rather rough, and he was the one Thraen always smelled like, the one who got to live with the blonde. She felt the need to puff up a little when he was around… just so she didn’t look quite so small beside him.
Not that she was small now!
Ash straightened up as she remembered that she had a human form now and that made her bigger than him while she wore it. Score one, Ash.
“Way ahead of you!” She sang as she clapped her hands around the sides of her visor and scrunched her face up, her shoulders hunching to brace against the surge of power to the star on her forehead. She gave a yelp as she let it off, flinging her arms out for balance as it lanced into the youma with marginal success.

That last attack had hit the youma hard and Ida felt a rush of satisfaction. Everyone was working together, teaming up against this monster. They could beat it, they just needed to keep at it.
There was a call for medical aid that caught the senshi’s attention, her ears trained by phantom years to hear it through the din. She cast about for the person calling, but Hver called her back, asking her about her last arrow. Ida’s brow furrowed, but she nodded and straightened her shoulders. This would be her last bit of magic before exhaustion, might as well use it now and tend to the wounded after when she was unable to fight.
She’d never fought beside Hver before… not like Naer or Kai, or any of the others in the Mainstay and the Guard. She’d never gotten to stand beside her like this. It made her happy, in a small, private part of herself, to do so now. Throwing up her arm, Ida called the last of her arrows to hand and pulled back the string on her glowing bow, aiming for the monster as she closed her eyes firmly.
“I’m ready.” She called.
The backs of her lids lit up as Hver called the beacon and it flared to life in a red glow. She waited, and when the call came, Ida released the arrow without heisitation, feeling it take with it the last of her energy. Her shoulder sagged, her breathing coming fast, but she kept her eyes closed until the light had faded.
Faust heard the call for wound care, and trotted to a lavender-haired girl's side. She informed the surrounding people of their location, at least, though Faust found it even more confounding that they somehow landed on Hugbell's planet without her actual attendance. There was no time (or energy) for thinking about the logistics behind it - Hugbell needed help.
"Sheeit, I dunno anything about helpin' with wounds. There's gotta be someone around here who's got some healin' magic or somethin'. Just uh, put pressure on it." A page stepped in, casting a barrier for some assistance. It helped, but a healer would be damn perfect right now. "There's gotta be someone around here who can help, right?"
The cat sprinted off from his location at Hugbell's side and projected as much as possible, hoping that the effort might find someone who knew of medicine.
"Yo, anyone know 'bout first aid! Could really use it right now!" Yet plenty of action continued around him with all manner of knights and senshi launching their attacks at the beast. With all the firepower being thrown around, Faust doubted that Hugbell would wind up a target again. Especially with the feel of a royal on the loose - likely the youma would be drawn to that first.
The magic helped. The magic helped a lot, so rather than getting caught up in the confusing battle that was raging around her, Cybele charged the youma once more.

Well... Disneya certainly wasn't intending on getting close to that. And she didn't think she could throw her attack far enough to get to the monster, so she did the next best thing she could think of.
Finding a pile of rubble, Disneya summoned her attack and tossed it onto the pile, which caused the hunks of stone and metal to float, which she then promptly started "throwing" at the youma. Much larger items then she could normally lift now propelled with magical sparkling fairy glitter.

Eden flinched away from the battle, but she had taken Ida's advise to heart. They were not sure if this monster was alone or not, so she kept looking back to the perimeter to make sure there was nothing new approaching the group.
This place was just so... creepy. Of course maybe it was because she knew it was inhabited by a large bear monster thing who liked to eat children.
Eden had no magic, and she knew that, so once again she picked up another rock, and this time threw it, aiming for the monsters face. Whether or not it would get there as it thrashed around was something out of her control.
Snowball had heard Hver's call and quickly closed his eyes when he was in a safe spot with his back turned. Wincing a little when the bright light flashed. "Damn." He muttered when the attack was done the cat turned around and fired his forehead lazer.
"Okay, lets keep it up! Hopefully he'll wear down soon!" Snowball couldn't tell if the thing was wearing down or not to be honest.

-----------------
The youma was starting to get angry as it clawed at it's attackers and while the prince interested him, it seemed as if there was still little interest in the royal senshi. Was that not what it was after? The senshi trying to ride him, just irritated the youma more and it tried it's best to take a paw and slap him silly.
It swiped claws at the people surrounding it and then there was a barrier around the senshi that it had attacked earlier causing further irritation. When the blinding attack happened the youma stood still snarling plunged into a sudden darkness. Irritated as it shook it's head he stumbled and lookaround.
Suddenly, things took an unexpected turn! The youma decided that it was tired of playing, and headed for the wooded area that lay beyond the school and library. Though it was blinded with spots in front of it's vision that was slowly clearing, it was taking too long but it knew well enough where it wanted to go.
As if it was taunting the others to follow it, the youma paused and snarled looking back. It was still having some trouble walking properly with it's eyes recovering, but the youma still left all the senshi, cats and knights behind to chase after it.
-----------------
Hugbell listened and tried to keep focus on everyone around her. There was now a shield which was appreciated very much. "Good, basic first aid if no one can heal will work." Hugbell nodded, while she may still be a child she knew enough about first aid and treatments of cuts and things. . . Seriously she'd learned more medical details by being a senshi than she ever had from health class. . . Why did they even have that in school?
She heard a yell for everyone to cover their eyes and she did, closing her eyes and pulling her hood over them while trying to help keep Oberon's eyes from getting hit by the light as well. "That is bright," She mused when the attack was finally over the teen looked up watching the youma. She frowned it seemed to have worked but then . . . it didn't.
Hugbell stopped, mouth agape. It was running for the--- "No, no, noooo. STOP IT." She screamed as it looked back, "Don't let it get to the crystal field!" This seemed more urgent for her than having her wounds tended to, as she scrambled after the youma. Hugbell knew she was leaving behind the protective barrier and those offering her help, clinging to her side as she tried to run. Hoping the others, would follow if willing. She'd summoned Barnaby from his subspace pocket having been returned that, she forgot at what point during the battle. IF all else failed maybe she could use the bear to slow it.
Aludra barely covered her eyes in time. Squishing her eyelids shut, lights danced and took what felt like an eternity to fade. By the time her vision was back to normal, the youma had made a break for it.
STOP IT.
The chibi looked back towards Hugbell once and then she bolted after the youma, abandoning her weapon and calling out, "The True Path!" If her magic took hold, she would simply lead it right back to the others.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: The True Path Aludra runs ahead and the compulsion to follow is stronger. It’s hard to focus on anything but what is on the pathway she has made. You glimpse trees in the corner of your eyes. A forest? [Time Limit: 15 seconds].
Power Notes: Aludra's power is a mixture of compulsion and illusion. The first two levels of her power could be used just to compel her enemies to follow a certain line. They are indeed walking and following her. This could be used to lure somebody into a trap! As her powers grow, the stronger the illusion around it is. A weaker person will hear voices in the Eternal stage, voices their mind creates from unhappy memories. A strong mind, however, can easily break free. Aludra's powers are good at distraction and redirection. Aludra is also running head throughout the attacks, so smacking her down will also break the compulsion. All levels of powers work on only one enemy. In a brawl with multiple enemies and without some element of surprise, she's virtually useless.
