Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Uh huh, sure." But hey, they were both trying to pretend that they weren't hurt as badly as they actually were. When Monty grabbed his arm and tried helping support him, the blond senshi quirked a brow. "You're practically gonna do that anyway, tall stuff." The page was quite a bit taller than Aegir, even when he was bent to help, but despite wanting to reiterate that he was fine Aegir just accepted the help. His ankle ******** hurt, even when he was barely putting weight on it and was pushing himself to try helping.

And then...there was a heavy auric weight slamming into them, causing him to stumble, weight falling fully on his ankle and causing all the blood to drain from his face as he half-fainted from the pain. Mont Blonc was going to find himself suddenly supporting the senshi of Silence's near-full weight as the super crumpled. Between the pain and the weight of the chaotic aura...there wasn't anything they could do; it was time to bolt, like others were doing.

Eurydike was ready to defend himself with his magic, up until that bigass aura came roaring in and threw him right off his game. "What the hell -- " And then he went and got hit in the mouth. Then, he had to endure a few solid smacks to his arms as he threw them up over his face to protect himself from further humiliation. When he got the chance he jumped back, groaning as he realized the whole thing was not only royally ********, but royally ******** and completely done.

"God ******** -- " He spat blood from his mouth and glared at the negaverse b***h, making damn sure to flip the bird right back as he barked, "Don't think this is over!" Then, to his humilation, he had to go turn tail and run like the rest. He'd been so close to the girl - he should have known he'd find a way to ******** it up.

Eurydike is out!

Hyperborea had been getting to her feet using her bow as a balance to make up for her numb leg. She glad for the eternal's help. She was preparing herself for a fight with the general and his guardian cat when she felt a crushing aura wash over her. It was terrifying, overpowering in the same way Camelot or Castor's aura was but twisted and wrong.

She felt her knees shaking and tried to steady them. It must belong to one of those general kings or queens. But if one of them is here.... her fears were confirmed by the general. They had failed to save the girl, she had failed.

She felt tears forming for the poor girl who had had her star seed twisted and filled with chaos. She didn't know her but she was a member of their side and they hadn't been able to save her. She fought down the tears though since she knew they needed to go. "We've got to get out of here." She said in a strained voice to the eternal senshi. She used her bow as a make shift crutch to make her way out of the gym.

It happened quickly. One moment he was offering a hand to the Squire and the next he could feel an chaotic aura of crushing and oppressive darkness of the like that he had felt on only a handful of occasions.

A handful of occasions and never so close except for once - a combined Senshi and Knight meeting almost 3 years ago - which the Negaverse aided by their then Dark Mirror allies had gatecrashed.

And it was then that he realised with a chill that had nothing to do with cold that whilst he was relatively close to the back of the gym that there was no senshi garbed in red and blue nearby.

He could feel it when the Order aura suddenly winked out. Could feel it when a new chaotic aura suddenly appeared. Not needing the confirmation by first an unseen masculine voice and then the blond general. The senshi reduced by words callously to a mere 'target' - something to be acquired forcibly against the will.

And it meant he had failed, too caught up in the General.

A General that wishing him mockingly a 'good' evening as he scooped up a grey furred cat with some sort of hood, the surrounding chaos auras starting to leave. Some fading, others slipping further away - the crushing oppressive aura from earlier long gone.

The Squire was speaking, telling him that he had to go. Other Order auras also slipping further away.

It was as the Squire started to make her way over to the exit, using her bow as a makeshift that he finally moved, briefly removing his glasses so that he could rub the cloth from one of the detached sleeves covering his arms over eyes that stung.

Then he turned and followed after the Squire, step by guilt-edged step.

It was Vespa's purification in reverse.

He - they - had failed.

Mintaka held her breath as she felt the weight of a General-King...Queen. Whoever was called in to complete the ritual. She moved closer to Elsa, looking around as order units fled the scene. She didn't know his name, but it didn't matter.

He was one of theirs, and as such, he fell under her care when there was no one else. She wasn't sure what made him kneel over like so, but she didn't want to stay long to figure out. Unlike Zinkenite, she did not think the present company would be willing to just lend her coat.

"Come on you." She wrapped one of his arms around her neck, and then grabbed his waist. It was easy lifting him as the eternal. Even easier to find
a mirror thanks to the locker rooms. She touched the cool glass calling mirrorspace and pushed through. "I'll take you to one of the safe houses, or anywhere you need me too." She murmured. Then they were gone.
