(( If you are an Order character and participated in the meeting ORP and/or battle then you are automatically assumed to be here (you were dragged her whether you like it or not!). Whether your post or not, your character will be privy to all of the information and fun stuff in here. Characters NOT in the battle/meeting may not join.
That said, this rp will be pretty short, so if you do want to get a post in do so ASAP. You will still get all the cool stuff though even if you don't make it in time!
If you offered your character up for possibly corruption PLEASE do not post here. It'll just lead to confusion if you actually win))
"You are safe"
The words echoed through the heads of the senshi, and knights, and cats as a warm light suddenly consumed them, stealing them away from the room they'd once been in before shuttling them off to someplace very new. The trip was quick, there was no time to question it. One moment they were wrapped in a gentle and comforting warmth with a voice talking sweetly in their heads. And the next found them once again with their feet on the ground, a large and ancient courtyard stretching out far and wide around them.
Stretching far into the sky above them was a castle, some of it was in ruins, but the majority of it still reached high towards the stars. In the sky alongside the tallest spire the Earth could be seen, a huge and brillant orb that seemed to linger in so very close. There were walls crumbled and ancient, others standing still and silent covered in the dust and decay of many years. The only real signs of life were the vines and vegetation that reached from the gardens trying to overtake the walls in it's path. It was like most of the homeworlds out there that any knight and senshi had visited. Ruined, silent, and no hint of another living being anywhere nearby. Except it wasn't just ANY homeworld. It was the homeworld of the Moon Queen, and the one of one pink haired princess in their midsts.
It was however, not silent for long.
"You are safe now."
"The moon once was a safe haven for the forces of light. A sanctuary for those who needed it's protection."
"And so it shall be again."
It was the same voice as before, and a source for it slowly formed in their path, between the soliders and the castle. She seemed made of warm silver light, a mere ghost of woman that could be seen through to any who squinted and looked hard enough. But it was a beautiful ghost, and one familiar to a few of those present. It began with her silhouette forming, distinctive and long hair, a long and flowing gown. Her colors seemed faded, but even so her blue eyes shimmered so vividly, and the ghost of a regal scepter appeared in her hand with the ghost of a regal gem set into it.
For those who didn't know who it was, they were quickly clued in as surprised whispers sounded from some of the older senshi. Moon Queen Serenity.

When teleported away to the moon Niflhel had staggered back away from the group, he was searching for a certian princess but soon enough he ended up sitting down. Despite the warmth of the teleportation, he was too wary to continue to be on his feet. Not to mention what he'd just done back in the building. His eyes never reached the moon Queen's though he heard whispers, mention of who she was.
His eyes continued to stay down, a hand over his wounded neck. The bleeding having stopped but still, there seemed to be an amount of shame in his posture.
Victoria hadn't expected the sudden change of scenery nor the warm light that took them there. He stood watching in awe of the queen, near the rest of his group. He glanced for a moment to Iris, ********* and the rest. Looking for an indication of what he needed to do. Being the newest of the group he didn't know if they were better versed in these things than he was.
However he did take a moment and whisper, "Thank you ma'am." Afraid to speak up more than that.

Sailor Chibimoon had known where they were the moment the light faded away from her eyes, the familiar structure of the palace of the Silver Millennium stark and lovely in its destruction against the blackness of space. The Earth was rising over them all in a lovely ball of blue and green and though she was tired, though she was bleeding lightly through the formerly-pristine white of her fuku, her first thought was 'I wonder if they'll believe me now!'
Small Lady had told the others that Queen Serenity and her daughter were not figures to be worshipped, only respected and they need not bow or kneel to the woman none of them had known. For her, however, it was a different sort of thing entirely. This woman was her ancestor, her grandmother, and ultimately her queen though they were separated by more than two thousand years of history, thus Chibimoon rose from where she'd been sprawled on her knees to give a momentary, light curtsy before the ghostly image.
Serenity's words had her granddaughter starting a bit. Sanctuary? Here? But wasn't that why...why Elysion had happened ultimately? Were they going to drag that horrible destruction here to the one place that the pink-haired girl had left to herself?! "Fully safe? There will be no Chaos here?" she asked the ghostly queen. It was the most pressing question as this place was utterly sacred to the young woman whose power it provided, not to be profaned by the presence of anyone that might want to destroy it.

Egeria wasn't sure what to say... She was on a cats back, not completely with it heading to Hygiea and then what happened. Maybe she was dead?
She clung to ********* when the silver light appears and clung when it vanished again. She opened her eyes though she could still feel the dizziness from the arrow and the pain.
"*********> am I dead?"
She tried to recognise people but her eyesight was all funny and blurred and then there was that voice...
"Did we all die? They can't win.... They can't!" her protest was feeble to say the least but it was all she could get put with the energy she had left.
"Also who is the ghost lady?" After all if there was a ghost lady it meant they had to be dead!

The police sirens had terrified her.
Flora could only imagine the policemen bursting in and pointing their guns at them, a scenario she had faced before. To have all of them being rounded up and clasped into handcuffs would certainly be a victory for the Negaverse, and there was absolutely nothing they could do in the current situation.
...Except this.
"Wow." Sailor Flora breathed, blue eyes wide in wonder, taking in the sight of the great castle. We're on the Moon! She realized when the voice spoke, and for some reason, felt jubilant, a happiness that only grew when the ghost of the Moon Queen appeared. "Wow."
Chibimoon however, had brought up a good point. Places once supposed to be safe from Chaos; Elysion and the Surrounding, had both been attacked. Though they had prevailed and Chaos had not taken over either of those places, it would certainly be quite dire if Chaos managed to invade here as well, since this place was extremely important. With that thought, Flora started making her way towards Chibimoon, as she whipped out her phone and texted her Princess.
"we're fine now! WE ARE ON THE MOON!! is everything ok with you?"

Camelot looked around, surprised to be taken from the battle scene but certainly not upset about it. He sighed, knowing they had not come out of the battle well at all. He did not have much to say, standing to one side.
This place was fascinating, but it was not his home. He felt no connection here, save distantly. He was thankful for a safe place, as they had certainly needed it, but it came too late for those that had lost in the battle.
He looked at the castle, then at the form that was created before it. Ghost or hallucination, he wasn't sure, but neither thought stopped him from kneeling in her presence.
And staying down because he was tired and it felt nicer than standing.
He bowed his head a bit, eyes on her ghostly feet.
"Thank you for your aid," he said gently. He was about as skeptical as the whole 'this place is going to stay safe' idea as the others, though he wanted to believe her. It seemed chaos could get anywhere, and do anything, it wanted. Nothing had stopped it so far, despite their best efforts.
He looked around the area to spot some of the senshi he had been battling with, to see if they were alright. They had made it to this place. He couldn't help but be worried, after all.
Chaonis looked grumpy as he stood with his arms folded over his chest. He thought he could have kept fighting and kicked some major a**, but he had been interrupted. He did not look amused or impressed.
He had only just started going to his own planet in space. He was not overly interested in being dragged to other places. But it was probably one of those 'against his will' issues again.
Still, even he could silently admit that some of them had needed the save. From the police or by this sudden teleportation into space. He just couldn't admit that he was among them.

This was the last place he wanted to be.
If Ganymede had had a choice, he would have turned back time and decided against attending the Senshi meeting, would have catered to the annoyances and frustrations he’d been left with after the impromptu meeting at the Surrounding and settled for a peaceful evening at home. He wouldn’t have let Oberon go. He wouldn't have wanted Val to either, might have made up some excuse for them all to spend time together instead. Maybe gone to a museum; Oberon liked museums, and Ganymede wouldn’t have cared where they went so long as it was safe.
Of course, time didn’t work that way, and so he was stuck trying to process the evening they’d all faced instead. It was difficult. Now there were more horrific memories to add to all the rest, and he felt responsible—for his friends being hurt, for getting Oberon involved.
When they appeared in some strange place with decrepit buildings and a ghostly atmosphere, Ganymede was momentarily confused. At least until he looked up into the sky, and though he’d only ever seen it in books before, the image of Earth was unmistakable. It floated there like Jupiter loomed in the sky of Ganymede. Upon that thought, it seemed obvious where they’d been brought to. He didn’t much care for the whys and hows. Just the fact that they were there and he could see… something… someone… set him on edge.
“No… no no no, go away…” he whispered. He kept Oberon close where they appeared, not quite ready to let go yet.
At the moment, he didn’t care who she was or what she wanted—queen, princess, it didn’t matter. They were on the moon, and this person had appeared before them. As far as he was concerned, everything was all her fault. She would get no thanks from him, though he could hear others muttering a few quick words around him.

Juno had been knocked out pretty cold at one point by a certain mohawked Dark Mirror senshi. But she had begun to stir again towards the end there, attempting to right herself and bob through the crowd looking for Chibimoon.
Luckily for her, the task had become much easier when the enemy had suddenly disappeared, and even more so when she found herself well.. someplace that she'd almost sworn she'd seen before.
Rubbing her face and the pain that lingered there, her green eyes were wide and curious, taking in the sights until a familiar voice caught her attention. Small Lady!
The distance between the two was quickly braced, eyes checking briefly for any mortal wounds, before her eyes flicked upwards towards the ghostly image, finally realizing what seemed to have Chibimoon so excited.
Of course Juno knew where they were now! And that was... That was her princess' grandmother. Sure it wasn't 'home' in the way that Chibimoon had meant it in that comment earlier that evening. But this was about as damn close as they'd probably be able to figure out for awhile.
If the figure hadn't looked so... fragile and transparent Juno would have shoved Chibimoon off to hug it. Instead she simply settled at her side, offering a soft nudge and a encouraging grin. Home.
All the anger and annoyance that would have usually consumed the Amazonian after a loss was nowhere to be found, instead replaced by a joy and excitement.

The Moon.
That was the most prevalent aspect of this whole thing that stuck in Kailash's mind, even more so than being safe and still trumping all the magical powers.
He had been among the few that were ready to accept their fate when the sirens came barreling down the streets towards their location, he was never going to make an effort to fight the police and run away - he had been picked up by them before from a senshi related incident anyways. But then they had been whisked away in the last minute by the warmth of a silver glow.
And brought here. The male Page couldn't help but sink to his knees as all his attention and his gaze never left the Earth that was glowing so beautifully above them. Kailash was awestruck and partly just exhausted. This was the kind of view his parents dreamed of seeing, one that he once did as well. To travel in space and see the stars not from a lab but from this vast plain itself, and now here he was on the Moon staring back at his home. Sure, he knew he was apparently a knight for a planet even further back from this, but this was just bringing it all home in his head. A smile began to tug at the corners of his mouth but could never full form when a silly question rolled off his tongue, "how are we breathing ..."
- -
The sirens were not something that Hygiea had wanted to hear, worry and a little bit of panic began to swell in her mind. She had no idea how they were going to get away and to a safe place given how many injured people there were. The little girl wanted to run, but she didn't want to be a douche and just leave people there. That would suck!
But the light, it had saved them and took them far away from there. During the course of the travel, or just when the silver beams had first taken them, her eyes shut tightly and a hand had reached out and grabbed a part of ********* skirt. When the opened them, they were somewhere completely different.
The view reminded her of what she had seen on Iris, but instead of stupid vast amounts of sand, there were pillars and ruins... actually it kind of reminded her of the Surrounding. But the Earth was right there looking really peaceful and really cool. "Neat!"
Sailor Hygiea looked from the ghost lady who had appeared to the rest of her team and gave them a confused look, wondering who she was as well. Her hair kind of reminded her of that pink princess, just less bunny like and paler. And longer.

As Super Sailor Aster slowly regain consciousness from the fight, she thought she surely must be dreaming. Was she on...the moon? Much to her pleasure as a vegan, it was not made of cheese as she was once told and there were no cows jumping over it to avoid slaughter. She also saw no American flag pinned into the ground, so surely the government had lied to everyone when they said they had landed on the moon. No surprise there!
What was a surprise was the soothing voice of royalty - Moon Queen Serenity, the crowd whispered. Aster picked herself off the floor and stared in amazement at the Royal Queen she had heard so much about.

Really all he wanted to do was go home, get some sleep, and maybe curl up on his couch with his cat and watch a movie with Tolliver.
Somehow Celsus didn't think that was going to happen very soon.
Blinking slowly awake, he lifted a hand and rubbed at the side of his head, frowning a little. Wherever he was, it was certainly not the Surrounding - though it had a bit of ruins and a few pillars that reminded him of there - and it most definitely was not Earth. In fact, it looked rather like...
...well, this was interesting.
He got to his feet slowly, eyes tracing the lines of the ground beneath him, then looking upwards, blinking up at the wide, glowing circle of the Earth above his head. It was certainly a very strange sight - though, Celsus thought, as he folded his arms across his chest, strange seemed to be a permanent fixture in his life nowadays.
And there was someone here as well - someone who was not the same as the rest of them. Her body was faded, blurred around the edges as though she were not quite fully there - a ghost, a remnant of someone who had once been. Celsus' gaze flickered upwards, and he tilted his head a little, scrutinizing her with a curious sort of look on his face.
He really needed to find out where Chronos was.

Polaris was beyond relieved when she found herself, and everyone else, suddenly lifted from that terrible situation. There was a terrible guilt, whether it was warrented or not, in the fact that the meeting had been ambushed with her at the helm. And it was a guilt that only cut at her more the more injuried faces she had a chance to see.
She was paying very little attention to their surrounding at first, more intent on doing an impossible head count, and checking for people she could help. But when the voice spoke the princess immediately paused in her steps, looking quickly towards the source.
It was a voice she'd heard a handful of times before. During and after certain battles, from deep in her dreams. And the sight of her was just as it had always been, even after all this time. Polaris immediately powered down to her eternal form, not feeling worthy of doning her princess ones when the true queen was in their presence. It was so nice to see her again. After all this time she hadn't left them.
As one who had always believed in the Moon Queen and believed that finding her was an important task in helping to end the war, it was happy reassurance. Her very voice and compassionate words bringing pricks of tears to the corner of her eyes as she finally found Niflhel.
She wasn't usually one for PDA, but after being that close to losing him. And seeing both the physical and emotional pain radiating from him she could not stop herself. Her fingers delicately and tenderly cradled beneath his chin, pressing her lips softly against his.
They had lost some of their own. Some to death.. some to darkness. It was something she would have to deal with later and on her own. But for this moment she had hope and she still had him.

Niflhel hadn't been expecting Polaris to run up and kiss him. He was to wary to push her fully away but he put a hand on her shoulder and pulled her back just far enough he could look at her. It looked like there were tears welling up in his eyes before eventually he mustered the strength to pull her into his lap and rested his head on her shoulder.
At least this way she didn't have to see his face and how sorry he felt for what had happened. His arms wrapped around her waist before giving a wary sigh. The thoughts in his head were going a mile a minute from all the things that'd happened. Eventually he whispered, "I accidently killed one of them..."
He was trying hard to keep his voice from cracking at the admission of having done such a thing. His eyes eventually traveling up to the queen before looking back down to stare at Polaris' shoulder, "I was trying to stop him from fighting... t-there was a piece of metal I didn't see... and when I kicked his feet out from under him...." The knight sighed and kissed Polaris' shoulder lightly, not able to finish the rest of what had happened. He was sure Polaris could figure it out with out him having to say much more.

Her affection was cut short, but she wasn't too upset by it, letting herself be settled simply in his lap. Her eyes trailed for a moment to the injury marring his neck, and though she wanted to run a finger over it, she resisted, instead returning her gaze to his eyes, only now noticing those tears.
Killed one of them? It was something that took her a moment to swallow, not because he had done it but rather because it seemed to upset him so much.
She had done it before, more than once. And while she was likely in the minority with her feelings, it was something she'd made peace with amid her moral stances as something you sometimes had to do if it was necessary. Anyone dying was sad. But if the protection of innocent life meant the ending of another... Well.. sometimes there had to be a trade off. Sometime there was no other choice.
It didn't really matter what her thoughts on the topic were though in the end. She had always been a compassionate and empathic soul and he was hurting, so that was what mattered.
Her arms wrapped around him in a comforting hug and for a moment she rested her cheek on top of his head. "I'm so sorry."
The fingers of one hand lifted up to brush softly through his hair as the other remained looped around him, joining him in mostly silent resignation. "It wasn't your fault." In truth, she could shoulder just as much blame as him in the situation. "It's going to be alright." Her voice was a hushed whisper. In time he would come to live with it. But for now.. for however long it took... she would simply let him grieve.

Had it been for a different reason, to save a civilian. It would have perhaps had a different effect, different feeling to it. This had been to protect himself, not a civilian; there was a difference to him. For a while he sat there silently listening to her, "It's different... protecting ourselves.... verse protecting a civilian...." He said softly in thought. "He was just a captain..."
They could've saved him, possibly; now they'd never find out. It seemed the longer he sat and stewed though, something else wanted to bubble to the surface, different emotions. Including anger, at himself, at Ares, at every negaverse officer that was able to recruit more to their side. Frustration, sadness, anger, back to feeling sorry for what he'd done. Niflhel couldn't decide which was more fitting for the whole thing.
There was one easy decision though, one that he felt needed to be addressed now, despite the fact he was still beating himself up. "You're not going back out alone." He said softly, with resolve. "Ares has bounty on both our heads now, and she knows how to get to you."
The knights eyes were watching Polaris, "I know your a princess but you need to make sure you have someone with you at all times. Someone that can always call for help if you can't." He moved a hand to use his sleeve to wipe the tears from his eyes. "I can't lose you because of her. They can't lose you." He looked out against the crowd pausing on the queen before looking back at Polaris.
"I can be spared for the greater good. If it comes down to it." He looked at Polaris, "I'm not strong enough to go head to head with her and come out alive." There was an eveness to his voice. "I will try though, If nothing else I can be a distraction for her." He was looking at Polaris with worry, "I know you used your crystal because of that reason. She's going to use that against you."
He sounded tired but the pleading in his voice... "Please, don't let her do that again. Next time we might not get lucky. If takes my life to end hers, don't hesitate to use that opportunity." He knew what he was asking, he just hoped it didn't sound impossible. There was a weak grin on his face, "Besides it's all magic. You'll find a way to save me after she's gone." There was a small nod of his towards the queen, "She might even know the way."
It was a small bit of hope but if he could convince Polaris to believe that it was true.... he was sure they could win the battle. "You have princess Iris on your side as well." He added softly looking over towards ********* and her team.
