Lizzy will be trying to update 2 times a day for this, and if she is unable, she will most definitely update at least 1 time a day. Those participating in this RP will not be penalized for missing a day, but to move the RP along faster, it is recommended to post 1 time daily. If players find themselves unable to post frequently in the RP, I may invite more players to join in the fight. Once the fight portion of the RP begins, players will need to include two things in their posts. 1) a roleplay post and 2) Roll a 100 sided dice with the post. In the roleplay portion of the post, as a favor to me, I would appreciate it if you could bold the important actions. I will be reading the posts, but this will help me a lot to keep to a decent time frame on making my own posts. Where as the dice rolls help influence damage or effects done to the Shade-Iris, your roleplay also heavily influences the damage or effects. Please do not post in this RP unless you are quoted. Just because you are not initially included in the RP does not mean that you won't be invited to come in during the middle if some players are unable to play.
I would like to thank everyone in advance who signed up to participate in this, and I sincerely hope that you all have fun with this heart

Somehow, some way, the message got out there. For Iris' team, they got the request pretty easily. However, it seemed as if Iris was not satisfied with just having her team present for the task at hand.
Many senshi got the message via a mass text sent from the tailless guardian on their senshi phones.
Need help battling with strong shadow-clone. Any help appreciated!
Included was an address for one of the larger parks in Destiny City.
The knights of the city may have heard the word mentioned by a passing senshi, or perhaps they were even attracted by the mass of energy gathering at the park as different senshi began to arrive in the soccer field.
As each showed up, a rather busy-body of a cat seemed to drift amongst the group, offering a smile and a pleasant greeting. There was a faint limp to her step, but any voiced concerns were given her reassurance that she was okay.
Towards the edges of the soccer field, a girl was dressed in dark clothing and a hoodie, trying to stay out of sight for a bit. However, she watched everything carefully until she was certain there were enough forces of Order to reckon with the intended opponent of the evening.
It's time...
With a heaved sigh, the figure moved herself behind the nearest tree and powered up.
As Eternal Sailor Iris, the girl stalked forward from her temporary hiding spot, moving with purpose towards the gathering the cat had been watching in her stead.
In a loud voice, the blonde senshi called attention to herself by going straight to business.
"Okay folks! Th'shadow-fake is gonna be 'ere soon! It moves fast... so let's get down to business! It's gonna hit hard, so yer gonna have to hit hard and fast! I don't know if it will attack any of you or not... since from what I have seen and heard, they go after what they are copyin'... I will try t'keep it from attackin' you guys by distractin' it... but I make no promises that you won't get hurt."
Planting both hands upon her hips and standing up as tall as she could, she surveyed the group again. Hopefully this could stay controlled compared to that one Christmas with the multiple youma that her team had to deal with.
Eventually the guardian manx had hobbled to the yellow-suited senshi and leaned against her ankle as if to remind her to mind her manners.
A momentary glance to the cat, and the eternal senshi seemed to get the message.
"I want t'thank ya all fer showin'... and... if you got any questions... ya might wanna ask them quickly!"
Her golden eyes looked to the surroundings, keeping watch for the incoming threat.
Among everything else, this was a debut. Sailor Psyche had never met any senshi other than those of her team and no senshi had met her. She knew that people were invited, she knew that people were coming, and that thought made her uneasy. Was she nervous about not knowing these people? Not so much. Instead she was worried about *********. Do you know how hard it would be to watch ********* when there were countless of strangers trying to steal her? It was probably not the biggest concern here but it definitely made the list.
Grey eyes looked to Sailor Iris with interest as Sailor Psyche paced back and forth near the other senshi. Other things were important too. She understood what was going to happen. Experience and a lengthy explanation prior to all of this made sure of it. This rainbow senshi was one of Sailor Psyche's teammates, and more importantly one of her friends. She didn't have many of those and she had no desire to change anything any time soon. She would protect her. She would protect her even from herself.
"Iris," she whispered softly as the words hung over her accent. "Yo back."
She got it. She got your back Iris.

Shangri-la had defeated his own shade with the help of Shalott and while the not being chased constantly at night was definitely a relief, the fact that other's were still in the same situation he was in just a day ago was not. He'd powered up tonight, not just to patrol for youma and wrong doer, but as well to patrol for anyone who might be caught in a battle against themselves.
He was near the park when he spotted another headed toward it, and another, which caused curiosity to grow within him. As more energy gather he decided something must be happening and if he could help he should. So he followed the other's into the park, to see that every was gathering around someone in a hoodie, who powered up to reveal she was an eternal senshi.
He was confused as to why there were so many to defeat one shade, but he didn't question it. It was great to see so many come to the aid of one another and he nodded at her words, ready to help her out, though he wasn't sure just how much help he would be.
Eternal Sailor Pasiphae had never turned down a request for help. There had been a time where she had locked away her henshin pen for a couple of months, but during that time no one had called out for her. Today, she could not imagine abandoning her responsibility in this manner. There were just too many times that she was needed, however little her efforts helped. The Ambush. The Carnival. Destiny Con. Now, shade creatures that mimicked not only those of Order, but those of Chaos. All spurred her, made her determined that none of her allies would face their fights alone.
There were some here she knew. Some she did not know, but would hopefully learn after tonight. Maroon eyes ran over as many individuals as she could to try and remember the color of their uniforms, their hair, their faces (as best she could see them in the dim light). Once Iris was done speaking, she offered, "If anyone needs a shield... I can erect a temporary one. Just call for Pasiphae - or shield, if there's time. I'll do my best..."
It still took much for her to draw attention to herself and offer information so willingly. Hopefully what she gave was enough and not too terse. If there had been more time, she would have introduced herself with a friendly smile and a few more stammers. After everyone else, of course. But there was no time. With a nod towards Iris and *********, Pasiphae took up a defensive position. No, no time. Whenever the Shade came... it would be ready. She needed to steel herself now.

Egeria had spent a lot of time away. Her parents had gone travelling with her over the summer only to decide she should go to boarding school away from destiny city! Well, she had finally managed to get home by getting excluded. It had taken longer then she originally wanted but she was back and just in time by the sounds of it! She hadn't even seen any of the team since getting back so when she saw *********> she ran over and picked the cat up giving her a big squeeze, completely not realising the cat seemed to have a dodgy leg. She kissed the manx on the head with the largest grin on her face.
Oh it was good to be back!
She put ********* down though and ran over to Iris.
"So what is a shade?" Yep, she really didn't have any idea what was going on but she was so up for a fight!
It had been the first night that Athene powered up since the night that he'd stumbled across his cousin being attacked by her shade before being subsequently attacked by his own. He'd managed to defeat both shades with the help of Ida and Tsui, but his cousin had been badly hurt and he'd taken a sort of break from his night time patrols in favour of spending what time he could at the hospital.
He hadn't been patrolling long when his phone pinged with an incoming message and with a thoughtful frown Athene had pulled out the phone, assuming the message to be from one of his fellow PSSG team mates. Instead it had been from *********, the message mentioning something about a strong shadow-clone and giving directions to one of the larger parks in the city.
He sent a message to Tsui, Ida and Chaonis on the off-chance that one of them was also out and about on patrol before following the directions in the text.
He hadn't been the first to reach the park, there were a few others there by the time he'd found it and he recognised both Pasiphae and Shangri-la from the training sessions that Maia had put on.
He also recognised the blonde eternal senshi outlining the reason for contacting them as being one of the Princess Senshi that had been at the meeting on purification and found himself thinking on why so many of them had been contacted for just one shade and starting to get a bad feeling about the whole thing. He'd come to help though and would therefore do his best.

It wasn’t often that Lenka checked her senshi phone. In fact, most of the time she only used it to get back to her planet, or to take pictures of other senshis that she met. Though today she was playing with it and when the text had come up, she stared at it for a good moment before rushing to where everything was going down.
Shadow clone? What did that even mean? She looked around at all of the senshi and the few knights that had gathered and felt just a little shy, for a moment at least. Did she know any of these people? Though, on that note…
Did it matter? She was here to help, here to do her part, and she was going to do it, regardless of who else was here, though her eyes did light up a bit when they landed on *********. At least there was one person that she knew! “Hi there!” She spoke no nobody in particular, but seemed to just want to show that she was there, and she was ready for action.
Eternal Sailor Chibi Lenka was in the house! And she was ready to beat up this Shadow Clone…shade thing. Whatever it was.
Watermelons of Justice. They would win, no matter what.

There was no use in denying it. Eternal Sailor Tsui was pretty damn excited to be a part of this, and it showed in every fiber of her being. Her golden eyes were alight with a passion, the same kind of passion that burned within them every time there was a battle before her. Her muscles flexed and shuddered periodically as she balled her fists into tight balls, and she all but skipped toe to toe, like a boxer would in the ring before the bell signaled the fight. She would have taken a few practice swings in the air, but with so many others there, she refrained, if only to spare them from her misguided wrath.
She looked around her and say a few familiar faces, especially Eternal Pasiphae and Athene, and she gave her fellow PSSG member a harmless slap on the back as she addressed him, nothing but confidence and eagerness in her voice. "Thanks for the head's up on this, Athene. You know I'd never turn down a date like this..."
The Tiger senshi felt little guilty in showing some enthusiasm. After all, it wasn't every day that she'd find herself fighting a princess... and given that she was just granted permission to do her very best against this shade, Tsui was determined not to show this shade any quarter or hold back. This was a princess they were fighting here... not a single one of them could afford to not put forth 100% effort this evening.
Tsui had no questions of her own, at least not one that wouldn't come off as her being an impatient twit. She wanted to ask 'when can we start with the butt kicking', but given the gravity of the situation, she thought it wise to keep that bit to herself. But still, she was definitely ready...

Eden still wasn't very used to sensing energy levels, but after literally having a few chaos agents sneak up on her without even really having to try, it was something she had been working on over the past few weeks. She had honestly spent so much time trying to just not get killed, that many of the basic things most pages learn fairly quickly had gone neglected. So she had been trying... but even if she hadn't, she was certain this gathering of order aura's wouldn't had missed her radar.
And she would admit, she was horribly curious about the other soldiers of the white moon. These long months she had only met a handful of others, and there just seemed to be so many gathering in one place.
She was recovered from her last encounter with chaos, another event that had left her battered and bruised. Was it sad she was almost getting used to it? The willowy girl gripped the handle of her lantern tightly untill her knuckles turned white, doing her best to beat down the wave of anxiety. The feeling was so foreign to her, she had always been a calm and easy going person, but she supposed nearly having the life being beat out of her on repeated occasions could cause anyone to be nervous.
She arrived were the others were gathering, stopping short and eying the gathering crowd of order senshi and knights, all unfamiliar faces. She watched them, hesitant to join them, wondering why they were all there, gazing at them as she stood beneath one of the trees that edged the park, a pillar of white opalescent hair and pale rainbows, looking more like a lost little deer then a warrior.

When Iris called, Irene would always answer.
The situation was bizarre, to be sure. If she hadn't had to deal with something similar herself, she wasn't sure she would have believed it. Which was silly, when she thought about it. She had magical powers and had once lived in space. Who was she to doubt the existence of doppelgangers?
The crowd that had gathered looked quite promising. There were several strong senshi present that she hadn't met- or at least, not officially- and that made her hopeful that they'd be able to deal with the false princess without too much trouble. It was reassuring that these people had come to their aid... and yet, to Irene, it wasn't enough. There had been dozens of senshi and knights at that meeting that had gone wrong. Compared with that, this was a drop in the bucket. Some of the others might have been busy dealing with their own problems, but the difference was too large to account for that. Why couldn't they all come together to help each other in times of crisis?
One problem at a time, though. Until they dealt with this dark Iris, they couldn't worry about the bigger picture.
Irene hung back from the crowd, making eye contact with Iris and her teammates. It didn't seem like the right time for introductions, and she had nothing that needed explaining. Her captain knew what she was capable of, probably better than she did herself. Whatever plan Iris came up with, she'd play her part. That was all there was to it.

Alfheim was not aware of what the mysterious object known as the ********* was or it's significance in his life because it mostly had no significance. It was a random 'weird cat thing' between his sister and another alien species that didn't even warrant a note of it's existence in his cranium.
So he was entirely unaware that his night was tanked the second it warbled and whirred, or that it led to his sister asking him to be powered and at a specific place.
He was understandably confused when he was met with a wave of power signatures, but the earth squire didn't have time to be confused for long. Iris was there, and that cat. And they were shouting about... shades? Doppelgangers?
Oh god monsters were going to show up and they were going to fight. ********. ******** regretted everything.

Surprise love attack! ********* was scooped up by Egeria and kissed and hugged and then suddenly plopped back down on the ground. In a pleasant tone, she couldn't help but chuckle out "Good to see you too, Egeria!"
Iris gave a thumbs up to Psyche, after briefly catching her within sight. A senshi a rather fancy senshi tiara mentioned her abilities being shields, which the eternal senshi nodded at. No power would be scoffed at tonight. Any potential advantage would be helpful for this fight.
It was when a younger teammate of hers (Egeria) approached with a question that the blonde glanced down so she could at least look her in the eyes. "...A shade, or shadow clone, or whatever the hell ya wanna call'em... is basically a black-and-white-and grey copy of someone. They seem to have this problem with tryin' t'kill the original. Have the same abilities as the original from what I've seen." She nodded to the cat who had been in charge of the initial greetings. "********* got copied... it was all kinds of messed up..."
"I wish I hadn't been copied... that was something I would never like to deal with again, in all honesty..."
********* easily recognized several faces, and the senshi she didn't recognize, she seemed to have a subtle awareness of their names and spheres. She already knew that she wouldn't be jumping into the fray unless a true emergency required her to help out.
A bum leg did not make for excellent fighting skills.
She did manage to note a face which she could not place, which meant that the individual was not a senshi. Hobbling a bit, the cat made her way towards a girl colored in pastel rainbows (Eden).
"I hope you don't plan to stay here all evening... Sadly I do need to sit this one out..." Despite what could have been considered a scolding, the tailless cat sounded rather jovial.
It seemed as if Iris' scanning of the vicinity paid off, for soon enough her eyes were upon the sky, lined up with the horizon. "....sh*t..."
From their current location, it might have seemed as if there was an overly large grey bird seeming to swoop down from the sky. However, what they saw most definitely was not a bird, nor a plane. Once it got closer, the fabric of the grey gown seemed to almost glisten in the darkness.
Though the odd gray princess seemed quite low to the ground already, once it was much closer, it folded its wings in tightly to practically dive-bomb the group like a hawk.
The target was quite evident, and the yellow suited senshi who had beckoned the other warriors of Order moved as quickly as she could to separate herself from the group. With a few bounds back, a quick change had happened. Her fuku almost seemed to bleed out until the skirt had reached the floor. The colors shifted along her bodice and her hair whipped out longer than it had seemed just moments ago. Once she had stopped, she was no longer Sailor Iris.
She was Princess Iris. As her feet stopped, feathers forcefully sprouted from her back, causing a rough grunt to escape her body. However, before she really had time to actually recover from the shift in form, the colored princess was full body tackled by the gray one. The two bodies went flying back, and the non-shaded princess began to scramble and grab at her opponent, if only to try to get back up to her feet.
However, even without getting to her feet, the real Princess shouted "Don't hold back! Hit it NOW!"

It came from the sky. That was a new avenue of attack that Pasiphae had not yet seen. The whipped air compressed her thick hair as the double launched its attack against Iris. The growth of aura from Eternal to Princess was warm, as though a sudden fire had been started. In a way, perhaps it had - the fires of battle.
She trusted others to give orders, and she always tried her best to follow them. When the Princess called for an attack, Pasiphae did not hesitate. She ran forward and kicked the monochrome Iris in the back.
Though she was eager for the fight to start, even Tsui could feel a sense of awe and apprehension overtake her when engulfed in the monochromatic princess's shadow. She recalled the last time she had tried to face off against someone that was well out of her league, the raw power she felt trying to consume her, the genuine fear she felt when in his wake, and Tsui wasn't sure if it was a good or bad thing that she felt very little of that now. Maybe she had gained more confidence between then and now, or simply the fact that she knew she wouldn't be facing this threat alone was enoguh to quell and notion of fear within her.
Either way, she wore an eager grin and wasted little time in diving right into the fray. Once the real Iris sent the shade of herself spawling back from an admittedly awesome tackle, Tsui took to the shade as fast as her feet could take her. Though she knew that the shade would focus her attention on the original, Tsui charged directly at the Shade Iris's side, fists curled and going for a right hook at the first chance she got. It was a risky move. Even a stupid one, even for herself, but she figured that any chance she could get in distracting their enemy would leave an opening to her back, so there was some kind of method to her madness, even if it wouldn't work out exactly how she planned.
"With pleasure!" Tsui said, maybe sounding a little too enthusiastic for her own good but not caring how others thought or felt about it. She was hear to help, and by helping, she meant fighting. If there was one thing Tsui had an idea of how to do, it was fighting...
