It wasn't like she was new to the area, but she was new to the shopping. Usually she had hand-me-downs from her siblings and mother, but honestly, she was graduating soon and needed new clothes for it. There were after parties to think about! Not to mention clothes for when she went off to college and what not. So today Daisy was heading to the mall to do her clothes shopping. Of course it had to be overcast outside. Usually she didn't mind it but honestly the teenager wanted to come up me with dry clothing. It was early morning still, the mall had only just opened up and she could beat the crowd that was no doubt going to come. There really weren't many people around and the birds weren't sure if they should sing or not. There was a chirp every now and then, then silence. Clicking her tongue, she climbed out of her car and jingled the keys a bit, not thinking anything was wrong. She didn't know there was a youma wandering towards her from the shadows.

A high pitched yowl ripped through the air before the silver body came streaking across the parking lot. It zig zagged between feet and cars, desperately seeking somewhere safe to hide.
There was a youma chasing her! ... granted, the unholy noise she was making was probably not helping matters, but hey. She was damn well going to make sure people knew something was out here, because they all had the unlucky fate of not having a senshi around when they needed one.
Darting between a pair of feet, Ash dived under a car and skidded to a halt, her green eyes wide and staring as she panted hard.
Where did it go? It was right behind me... Her jaws gaped as her sides puffed, her tail an angry bottle brush behind her. She needed to find someone with power... someone who could make quick work of this nasty. Did she have time to call someone? Maybe... if she could stay hidden long enough to get her phone working. It clattered to the ground beside her as she called it out of subspace, her paws quickly wrapped around it to work the screen.

The sound of a cat dying caused Daisy to jump out of her skin, very nearly and her light red eyes widened. Poor kitty! She turned her head just in time to see a silver blur dive under a car. Instantly the blond girl moved towards it, stopping once she was just a few steps from the car and got down on all fours to look under the car, clothes be damned. For all Daisy knew this cat had something tied to it's tail or was suffering from some injury! "Here kitty, kitty, kitty," she said softly, clicking her tongue to get the silver feline's attention. With Ash's back turned toward her, Daisy couldn't see that this feline was working a phone. If she had well, there'd have been plenty of questions that needed answering! "You okay, little guy? Come here.. I'm not going to hurt you.." If only she had food with her!

The sound of someone calling to her caused Ash to jump and her phone clattered on the ground. Ears pinned to her head, the cat twisted around to look behind her, a new concern replacing the fear for her own safety.
There was a youma nearby and this girl was down on the ground trying to comfort her... if it found her like this, things were going to get sketchy fast. Thinking quickly, Ash tucked her phone away in her pocket and crept towards the girl, coming right out into her arms like a well-pampered pet. She had to get the girl out of here... her inner senses could feel the youma skulking about and there was not much time.
Pick me up, Darling... She said with her eyes, wide and plaintive. Lets get out of here and somewhere safer, hmm?
Its was times like this Ash sort of wished she'd committed herself to a single senshi, so they were around when she ran into monsters. Beating up monsters was what senshi were for, after all. Beating up monsters and protecting poor, helpless girls like this one. The guardian was going to be very upset if she got hurt just because there wasn't someone around to save them.

Daisy was surprised when the cat lept into her arms and then laughed. "Well, hello, darlin'," she drawled out, holding the feline to her chest. Just as she was about to turn and wander back to her car, something a kin to a growl hit her ears and the blond girl turned on her heel and looked out at the parking lot. What happened next was a bit of a blur. Something hit her, hard in the stomach and the cat was let go in a fit of pain and surprise, the wind knocked out of her. Daisy coughed and clutched her stomach just as something seemed to push her to the ground. Looking up she saw something about the size of a child but it wasn't human. She knew that. It looked nothing like a human. It was leaping up in the air to try to get her on again. With a grunt, Daisy rolled, her back hitting her car and she scrambled to her feet again as she tried to look around. There was nothing there. Was it gone? No... She could tell it was still there. There was an ominousness in the air that put her on edge. Somewhere in her mind she remembered the cat and then looked around for it briefly. "Great," she muttered to herself, rubbing her stomach a little. She was going to be bruised. "What do I do now?"

A squeak escaped as the youma appeared out of no where, tackling the pair to the ground and knocking the cat free of the protective arms. Landing in a desperate scramble, Ash darted under the car and crouched there, her side puffing in and out in a harsh pant.
No no no... this was not good... that monster had found her way too fast... but there was a glimmer of hope amid the terror. Being in touch with that girl had given her a glimpse of something wonderful and hopeful. Now, if they could just pull this off...
Gathering herself, Ash bounced from her hiding place and over the fallen girl, her back arched and her tail bottle brushed.
"Quickly, darling!" She said, a flick of her tail calling up a bit of something that clattered to the ground in front of the fallen girl. A little bit of concentration pulled up the right name and Ash grinned, her fangs displayed outward to wherever the monster was hiding. "Take that and say 'Pistol Power, Make-up!' We're going to give that monster something meatier to chew on!"
The star on the cat's forehead began to glow and the moment the beast showed its face, she let go with a modified kitty beam right into its twisted maw. Hopefully that would buy them some time... she needed to get her new friend oriented properly.

It was almost too much for Daisy to process. She was up holding a cat one minute, and the next thing she knows she's been tackled from behind. Daisy released the cat so it didn't get squished as she fell and just grunted when her chin connected with the parking lot concrete, exploding in blood as the skin split. Without so much as a scream to that, Daisy rolled herself over on her back in time to hear a voice telling her to be quick. Head whipping to the side, she stared at the cat for a minute and then blinked at the pen that appeared out of nowhere and landed in front of her. Picking it up with one hand, the other pressed to her bleeding chin, Daisy stared at the at as she continued to talk before taking a deep breath. "Welp, crazier things have happened, right?" So getting to her feet, Daisy did just that. "Pistol Power, Make-up!" A warm feeling washed as soon as she finished saying it and she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, just letting the transformation take over her. When it was done, Daisy found herself in a sudden white and yellow outfit with a pair of small yellow heels on her feet. Basically staring down at herself, she noticed the bleeding on her chin had somehow stopped with this too. Okay good, she guessed, but what? "What in the world?" She didn't get much more out before she heard a growl from somewhere in front of her. "Great, so I got a make over, what now, kitten?"

The light of transformation cast shadows across the sidewalk and Ash grinned at it, the blossom of a first level senshi signature a pleasure to behold.
The youma, however, was not a pleasure and more or less unfazed by the face blast. Sad day, but! Help was here and the youma was now out numbered.
"You got more than that, darling!" She tossed back over her shoulder as she backed slowly towards where she felt the senshi was. Right now, of the two of them, she'd put odds on the senshi being stronger than she was and better able to deal with the monster. "More strength, speed and defense! You've got magic too. It should work quite well on this beasty, if you'd care to give it a try?"
When she was close enough, the guardian abandoned her fierce pose and turned to dart behind Pistol's legs, her spine still arching.
"Just concentrate a bit on that power you feel inside of you. Its all instinct, darling, you'll know what to do!" Then, once the nasy beast was gone, she could have a nice sit down with her newest senshi and take the time to explain a few things.

Magic? Well, this was some video game thing. It had to be. Her little brothers played video games with magic people all the time. It was really the best comparison she could make. The blond senshi turned toward the youma when the cat mentioned it again and just swallowed. It was the only thing she could do. Nodding when the cat said to focus, Pistol took a deep breath and closed her eyes to try to find that part inside of her that the other was talking about. And there it was, deep down, a warm spot that she hadn't felt before. Focusing on that, the senshi took a few steps before breathing in deep. Her hand swept up to her crown, plucking a flower from it before letting out that breath, blowing a bright yellow, glowing powder around her and the youma. "Pollen Allergy," was breathed in an airy tone. Upon opening her eyes, she saw the youma stumbling around, sniffling and rubbing their eyes. "...Just like an allergy attack," she whispered to herself. Well that certainly wouldn't kill anything. "Now what?" Her voice was raised, looking back to the cat with a hard swallow. "Should I go hit it?"

The grey cat got a look at the senshi as she concentrated and she did the only thing she could think of... she hit the ground on her white belly and wrapped her paws around her head, her eyes squeezed tightly shut. There was no telling what the magic would do or who it would affect, and she didn't particularly want to get hit by it.
Somewhere above her head, she heard Pistol called out her attack and her long tail flicked back and forth. After a beat or two, Ash peeked one round eye open and glanced about, catching sight of them youma reeling. With a flick of her tail, the guardian was on her paws again, rushing to curl between Pistol's ankles.
"Now that its distracted, either we run or you go hit it really hard, its up to you! If you hit it, you better keep hitting it until it explodes into dust, though, because that distraction will only last so long and then we can't run." She said as she put her ears back and hissed at the youma, feeling brave now that its beady little eyes weren't on her.

Hit it until it exploded into dust?! Well that sounded ... No it sounded normal given what had happened to her. Still, the blonde senshi's brows knit and she nodded. Might as well make sure it couldn't hurt anyone else. With an audible gulp, Pistol raced forward toward the youma and punched it square it it's ugly face. That sent it reeling more than her magic did, which was quickly dissipating So it didn't last for a long time?! Crap. She was panicking internally as she continued to beat the youma, giving it a few kicks when it staggered out of arms length. Basically her plan of attack was not let it get a chance to figure out what was happening. She was steadily pushing it back on top of everything, so that was good, right? With one last, hard punch, the youma literally exploded into dust around her fist and Pistol stood there, blinking hard and looking mildly confused. "Y...you weren't.. lying when you said dust, were you?"

Ash darted about behind her new senshi as the girl went to town with desperate strength, doing more damage out of sheer determination than any sort of fighting skill. Hey, beggars can't be chosers... the guardian was simply happy to have someone around with senshi strength, which was far more than she could manage on her own.
She cheered as the youma exploded at last and gray dust rained down, literally bouncing up and down as she darted to her senshi and lavished attention against her legs in the form of side rubs.
"That was wonderful, darling!" She chirped, her ears pressed back as she headbutted her knee. "You were quite a little scrapper! I'm so very proud of you."
Another senshi successfully awakened, another youma dusted... it felt like a good night to Ash.
"Goodness, there is so much to fill you in on... I'm sure you're dying to know what that thing was and where your power came from and all sorts of things! We should maybe get you powered down now and go find a nice, quiet place to talk, hmm? I'm sure you have tons of questions."

She wasn't taught fighting, she just picked it up from TV or maybe when she had to break up her younger siblings fighting. So yeah, it was out of sheer desperation of not getting hurt and not letting others get hurt. By the time the thing was dusted, she was sweating and ready to to just go home and go right back to sleep. Sleep, though, would be impossible, and the blonde girl knew that. Light red eyes stared down at the talking cat and just let out a laugh of disbelief. Oh God, her life had just gotten so complicated didn't it? Lost in her thoughts, Pistol ended up powering down without anyone really teaching her how to and just rubbed a hand over her face. "I'm dreaming? I'm still dreaming. I'm safe at home in my bed and all this is some weird dream, isn't it?" Deep down she knew she wasn't. With a sigh, she stared at Ash once more and then stood up to dust herself off. "We... can go to my car and talk in there, I guess? I have so many questions.." Without really waiting for a yes or a no, the girl went to her car, which wasn't too far away, and unlocked the door, offering Ash to hop in first.

Poor girl... her discomfort was painfully visible and Ash felt bad, as she often did, for dragging these poor kids into this ongoing war. None of them were prepared for this and it was always like dropping three hundred pounds of dead weight on them and telling them they had to figure out how to carry it.
The silver cat trotted behind the girl as she powered down and headed for the car, giving her a comforting side rub as she passed to jump up into the car with her.
"Come on, Darling. I'll fill you in, no worries. We can take it slow."
