Lithiasaur Posts at 1 a.m. are never amazing, sorry ~ Will name it properly tomorrow x
How was she meant to get revenge if they hid like rats.
She could not help but pout and wear the displeasure on her face, her fists clenched tightly at her side. It would be dawn soon; she thought to herself as she shook her head to try and relieve some frustration. As a civilian Mjolnir had no home and instead slept on the streets, every night after the hunt was over she found the safest most private place she could to lay down her head and get some rest. That was her routine, what her life was these days.
She was the Senshi of Berserkers, a senshi that got her power from pain, hatred and rage. Her existence almost seemed fitting. How very very sad.
Amber eyes looked towards the library, sometimes she would go there during the day to stay out of the rain, she found it was good for shelter but less so when it came to her sleeping arrangements. She had once or twice fallen asleep in the doorway only to be moved on by patrolling officers in the early hours. Her nose wrinkled, she would have to move on and find somewhere else, somewhere less in the open.
Luckily enough there was a park not too far away from here that she had taken advantage of quite a lot recently. However as she was about to walk past she felt something. Something very faint, admittedly she had never been any good at this whole aura business. Her head snapped to the side and she looked over her shoulder, scouting the area she had just come from.
Was somebody there?
"Hmmm?"

General Merlinite did not feel like other Negaverse Generals. His aura was much more vicious on the senses, contorted under the terrible corruptive force of Chaos, turning it into something half formed. Much like himself, so it was fitting in many ways. He was not just a General, after all, but part of a youma as well.
He was thankful he had not been fully corrupted into a monster, but being half of one did not really make life easy.
For one thing, he had lost his civilian identity. Try as he might, he had no ability to power down any more. He was not aware that he could, in fact, don the appearance of a normal Negeverse officer for a short period of time a day, but even that would do little for him. He would still look like a General, after all, and that was even less what he wanted to be. He would rather look like half a dragon over that, any day.
He wanted to be a Knight, but Painite had seen to it that it would never happen. Not even Camelot, a Royal Knight, knew how to help him. He was stuck this way, with a wing and a tail, and would just have to make it work for him.
Yawning, Merlinite climbed his way out of his basement home, stretching and rolling his muscles to wake them up. He had been comfortably curled up in his bed downstairs for the day, but now that night had settled he was ready to go out there and try to do some good. Very likely, he would just get into trouble, but he was sure he could handle it. He was almost out of the alley and into the street when he realized he was not alone. He felt another aura and stopped short, turning his head to spot the senshi not too far away from him.
Whoops.

Mjolnir adjusted her braces and cracked her fingers in anticipation. Admittedly she was tired and had lost count of how many hours she had been awake, but the adrenaline was already starting to kick in. If the need arose to fight then she would meet it. She could not help but understand the disadvantage her strained body would have in a confrontation - However the compulsion outweigh her worries.
She turned to walk back towards the source of her discomfort and soon heard a noise, raising her fists to her chest her movements became more cautious and calculated. If she was going to have a chance she would have to think smart before giving her body over to her powers.
She needed to access the situation before making her move.
Then she caught sight of... something. At first she was sure it was a Youma and stopped her approach, her experience with them had been few and far between and her brain started to calculate a plan of attack. However that moment of misunderstanding soon left and Mjolnir realized that it was not a monster, or at least not the kind of monster she knew. For a moment her usual stoic look left her amber eyes and surprise filled them.
What the hell was that?
The Berserker Senshi stood her ground but solidified her stance, she was never one to show fear, even when she met uncertainty. Backing off was already losing half the battle. Could it talk? She raised a brow with confusion. She was totally dumbfounded how to handle the situation.
She pouted, at first she would need to find out his alliance.
"Who are you?" She asked as calmly as she could.
"Can you talk?"

Merlinite swung his tail behind him, watching the senshi, then pulled a face when she asked if he could talk.
"Of course I can talk," he sighed, wrinkling his nose. The action drew his lips up a bit, baring his fangs. He let the expression fall, though, and eased into something a bit more casual, tilting his head to the side and offering her a lopsided grin. He rested his hands on his hips, standing upright on his two legs, the wing over his shoulder stretched out a bit just to give the full effect of his look.
He was learning how to own what he was, now, instead of being ashamed of it. Why waste time being miserable about something that he could not change, at least as far as he knew? Camelot would keep working on it, but Merlinite had wasted too much time feeling bad for himself. Now it was time to make a difference.
"The name is Dennis," he said. He went by his former civilian name, though he could no longer return to that form or that life. He did not consider himself a General of the Negaverse, though, and avoided calling himself Merlinite around others.

Yep.
She had no idea what was going on.
"... Is that a joke." Mjolnir let her fists fall to her side in surprise. She was still on guard as she did not know if this creature was a friend or foe, but his introduction had served to unarm her at least for now. She pouted and tilted her head to one side. Mjolnir knew that she was inexperienced, but she at least thought she had the basics down and some kind of gauge on what was to be expected and what was not. Dennis had just thrown all that out the window and left her dumbfounded. Raising a hand to rub the back of her head she sighed and in all honesty was unable able to keep her eyes off of him.
He had a tail. He had a trail and horns and a wing and his foot was wierd and-
When she realised she was looking a little too intensely she blushed and diverted her gaze to the side.
"Mjolnir."
She spat out finally as if to break the awkwardness and confusion she felt. Clearly there were one-thousand questions on her lips, but she did not know if it was appropriate to ask them. Her eyes slowly drifted back to him.
"Erm... You're not dangerous, are you. Dennis."

T e b i k ii Merlinite = super good at blowing minds
Well. Try to change sides, anyway.
But hey, at least she had not taken a swing at him before she asked him who, or what, he was. That was more than he got sometimes, and he really did not feel like sporting any more bruises or injuries.
He'd only just healed.
"It's nice to meet you, Mjolnir. I'm not gonna hurt you, if that's what you mean. I'm dangerous, sure, have you seen these claws? But I don't fight anyone that doesn't want to fight me. I'm not part of the Negaverse, so hurting random, innocent people is not really my bag any more. Are you dangerous? "

Was she dangerous?
"Extremely."
She managed to crook a smile.
"But I do not want to fight either."
I am not quite sure I would win.
She let out another sigh and shook her head, this was way too bizarre for her liking. She rubbed the back of her neck again before she started to approach the not apparently ex-agent. She did not like the sound of that sentence, he was not part of the Negaverse but he implied that he did used to harm people. She raised an eyebrow and stopped about an arms length away from him. She was looking very serious.
"What do you mean, anymore?"
She asked directly, knowing no other way to be. She still was not able to completely let her guard down around Dennis, more so because of his questionable alliance than his appearance. However the man seemed to have perked all her interests at once and she wanted to get to the bottom of it, the bottom of him. I mean, it was not every day that you met a dragon-man in the street.
She tried to keep a serious look on her face, but her amber eyes drifted from his own and towards his tail.
She was... entranced by it.

"Well. I was a Negaverse soldier, and a pretty loyal one. I did what they told me to do. That was hurting senshi, taking energy from civilians, that kind of thing. But I tried to ditch them and join the White Moon, and got turned into this for my trouble. She thought she could keep me, but I'm making my own choices now. I don't work for them any more."
He was a free agent, and teamed up mostly with a Royal Knight named Camelot. He wandered around and tried to help senshi train and fight youma, and whatever else they needed help with.
Until he could find a way to fix himself, to purify, he just had to work around the Chaos thing.
"It's pretty cool, huh?" he asked, noting the way she was staring at his tail. He swished it behind him for effect, having gotten used to it by now and able to control it like the limb it was. He had even learned to wave the tip of it, which he did with a grin.

He had caught her peeking.
"N-no."
She protested, her face flushing once more. Mjolnir could not remember ever looking at someone so intensely in her life. She closed her eyes and turned around, refusing to oogle him anymore - he was way too smug and it was embarrassing. She had listened to his story and it made her squeeze her nose and make an uncomfortable moan leave her lips. There was nothing about this that was not a headache, not a thing.
"I see."
She surrendered. Exhaling and letting her muscles untense.
"If that is true, then we are very alike." She admitted, holding her cards close to her chest for the time being. Mjolnir did not align herself with anybody and never knew who she could trust and who was out to hurt her. She opened her eyes again, still refusing to look at him but instead turning her attention to the library.
Trust the Negaverse to vomit out a creature like this.
They were a fraction without any restraint or class. She felt bad thinking of him as a creature, he did seem very human but he was clearly not. She pouted. She was ashamed with herself.
She mumbled."W-what did they do to you?"

T e b i k ii You know you like his taaaaail
He could work with that!
"We're alike, huh? You got a tail under all that leather?"
He knew what she meant, of course. She was not as aligned to her side as she could be, apparently, which was fine by him. He could not judge anyone for not feeling like they belonged somewhere, or wanting to do something different. Whatever that was, for whatever reason: it didn't really matter.
He moved closer to her, since she was being so careful to not look at him, shaking his head as he approached.
"There was this General I was working with. I told her I was going to purify, thinking maybe she would join me. We were... close. Instead, she decided to try and 'keep' me with her, and corrupted my starseed herself. Instead of me just powering up from Captain to General, she put too much chaos in and... well. Here I am. A bit more, and I would have been all monster. Or dead. And I know she did it on purpose. Hard to not be sure, when you feel someone's intentions as they push Chaos into your starseed."

Nope, she would not look, she would not give him that.
She did all she could to keep herself distracted, but she could almost feel him approach and it made her stomach clench. Mjolnir did her best to act like she did not notice his advance but -
"We're alike, huh? You got a tail under all that leather?"
Mjolnir's eyes snapped to look at him, he was closer than she thought and it made her jump in surprise. In defence she reached out to stop him from coming any closer, only to touch his scaled shoulder. The senshi paused for a moment, the unfamiliar texture causing her to calm and hault. He was just like a lizard... she raised an eyebrow and ran a thumb over a scale spacing out for a good moment before coming back to reality.
She quickly took her hand back and held it close to her, almost trying to burry her face under her fringe. This was too much.
"I am sorry." She mumbled, not sure if she was saying sorry for touching him or sorry for his story. Admittedly both seemed appropriate. She did not know that forcing chaos into a starseed was possible, not to this extent at least. Her mind took her back to her corruption, of being forced through the mirror but that... that... that witch.
That feeling engulfing something deep inside of her. She shuddered.
"Purify?"
He must think her stupid for asking so many questions - she sure felt it tonight. He might not believe this, but it was very rare to catch the senshi so vulnerable. There was just something about this guy that brought it out of her.
She was pretty sure it was the tail.

Merlinite stopped as she tried to defend herself from him coming closer, not wanting to scare her too badly. He was not a bad guy, after all. Not anymore. He had already said that, but he had a feeling his scary look, taunting demeanor and, of course, twisted aura were working against him here.
He smiled at her, though, shaking his head leisurely and letting her examine his scales.
"No worries. You're not the first to want to touch, and probably won't be the last. Kinda weird, right? The scales? They get pretty thick around my wing and claws. Like armor." He felt that talking about it calmly, like it was totally normal for both of them, was the best way to help her to relax.
When she asked about purification he tilted his head to the side.
"Yeah, switching to the other side. You know. If a Nega purifies, we would get to be a Knight for the White Moon. I guess you would just be a Senshi, since you're... a senshi. But they can take the chaos out of our starseeds. Make us... you know. Us again, I guess."

Lithiasaur I am an arse, and this is so late.
"I was a senshi once..."
And then I took an arrow to the knee.
"I was thrown through a mirror, and came out this way on the other side." She was unaware of the option of purification, and despite her dislike for chaos she doubted she would ever be able to be her old self again. Still, the option made her curious and want to know more.
"Do you know any more about it? About purification?"
Mjolnir turned and walked to the staircase, taking a seat on one of the stone stairs.

Merlinite watched her thoughtfully, swishing his tail behind him. He nodded his head, knowing that a lot of the Chaos senshi, of any variety, started as White Moon ones. he as not too familiar with them, as he had mostly stuck to other Negas more than anything as far as information gathering went, but he at least had a few friends on the Dark Mirror side of things.
Really good friends, at that.
"I do know a little about Purification," Merlinite said, nodding thoughtfully, "I mean, I mostly hang out with a guy that can purify people, and he talks about it sometimes. We haven't tried it on me yet, because he's not sure what it would do to my starseed now. I mean. What does a monster turn into, without the Chaos? Probably... not something pleasant. But uh. He tells me about purifying knights, sometimes."

"Can you tell me what you know? Even if its just a little - I want to begin to understand."
Knowledge was key and the most she could find out about these things the better chance she stood amongst all this chaos; even if said knowledge bore no fruit as far as she herself was concerned.
"Do you see yourself, a monster?" His words made her mouth settle in a straight line. Mjolnir knew monsters; true monsters. They were usually quite beautiful. "This war has made monsters of us all; we can just hide it better than you can." Could he not turn back? Put on a mask at the end of the day like everyone else was able to do. Pretend to be normal civilians with normal, uncomplicated lives.
"It must be hard, I am sorry-
I know you have no reason to aid me; but I would very much like to meet your friend one day. The one that purifies Knights. He seems like a good one to have."
