Welcome to Gaia! ::

The sizzle was a satisifying sound, and the only real comfort the tiny Himalyan had as she crashed into the ground. Well... the first real comfort, at least, with more to follow. More and more of her feline companions were beginning to switch teams - moving from talking to action. Horatio had little energy left to brag about how she had been right all along and instead settled for the warm sense of satisfaction at seeing them all. Chaos and Order, big and small, quiet and loud... all using their own, particular strengths to stop this monster and keep the world (and each other) safe. Guardians truly acting as guardians, of this world and of each other. She couldn't really rrrmake out what was going on the with new, sailor-suited kitty girl and the others except when they dashed in and out of her vision.

One action, though, she saw, and it was one she violently wished she had not seen. The sheer callousness of the act, the way one of their own was thrown away like used up bubblegum... it lit a fire in her belly.She wanted to jump back to her paws and dash back into the fight, but... she couldn't.Her body lay in the cool grass, her teal eyes locked forward because she could not even turn her head... but all the same, there was one thing she could do. Her head might hurt, and her body had not an ounce of strength to stand, muchless swipe or attack. But she could talk.

And some would say that that was what she did best anyway.

Horatio sucked in a breath and spewed it out again in a loud cry that held far more energy than any of her limbs, "Keep trying, everyone! We're gonna make this pyscho stray wish he had never messed with us. Today, we're all winners - even those who are normally losers, because I'm temporarily promoting you. We can do it! Just gotta... keep going..."

It was a sad day when even cheerleading was difficult.

D) Attempt something else - provide encouragement to remaining Mauvians

Though the newly dubbed Mauvian Senshi had been attempting to note something, anything from the beast, she was unable to detect anything beyond the fact that the beast was just a beast. Cora was doing an excellent job of doing as ********* had told, and several others had attempted to assist in the matter. One dark-starred cat (Khayman) had announced his expectations of *********, which caused her to nibble on the edge of her lip briefly.

"...by technicality... I think that is a job better suited for a princess..." she murmured out lightly before an idea seemed to pop in her brain.

Quick on her feet, she traveled back to where Thetis was with her hat just a short ways away. She couldn't help but momentarily frown at the sight of her companion watching over the fallen comrade, but she couldn't afford to remain sad at a time like this.

Grabbing her hat, she picked it up and began to reach in like a magician trying to find a rabbit. However, the things she pulled out weren't quite as furry. Reaching into her Subspace compartment, she pulled out a roll of ribbon the same color as her ankle ribbons, but adorned with silver stars and three jingle bells.

This was definitely not enough. Tossing her hat back to the spot it had been before, she pushed the ribbons and bells against her chest before calling to the other Mauvians.

"EVERYONE!!! I need you all to empty out your subspace compartments... if anybody has a blank henshin pen... or some other items hiding there... please bring them out! I have an idea, but I don't have all the materials. Quickly, please!"

Ash groaned as the others worked to subdue the beast, all seeming to depending on ********* to save them. Exhausted as she was, as the others who had used their beams were, there was very little they could do... so depending on her was really... it.

The burmilla struggled up to her paws as the manx called for items and struggled over to her, doing an odd little half hop each step as she kept her foot off the ground. Once there, too tired to do the normal song and dance she normally did for this sort of thing, Ash closed her eyes, laid back her ears, and computer parts rained down around her. Switches and boards and circuits and wires... all the inner workings of a myriad of different devices. Along with that came her personal senshi phone, landing behind her in the grass, and a few boxes of strawberry pocky filched from a convenience store.

"Have at it." She muttered softly, keeping one eye on the monster as she sank down to sit tiredly.

As cats glomped monsters, head lasers flew, and cats began to empty out all their items at ********* feet Dahlia continued to fiddle away with her small pile of objects. The fact that one of their own had fallen had gone unnoticed to Dahlia, but even if it hadn't it was unlikely that the sight would have distracted the callous cat. It was a war. People died. If she could help it one day she'd manage to either corrupt or put down some of the White Moon cats on her own.

Her task of trying to create or modify something to kill the monster was growing increasingly more difficult with simple paws and the real danger of a monster that could pounce her at any moment. As the monster remained distracted by the many attacks Dahlia finally powered up to her cat girl form, making use of her hands to better try and use some of her wiring and her communicator crystal in conjunction with the fan. Maybe the crystal would be able to power the fan in some way? Maybe if she could just stay focused long enough to hook it up right.

((Next versus same as the first.
A) Try to make a 'weapon' to kill the monster. ))

The first thing the cat-earred senshi did...

...was grab the cookie. "Ooooo... snacks!" Putting it in her mouth and chewing on it, she then started to gather up some of the other items as they were being gathered.

She could never call herself the most technological of Mauvians, but she was still a Mauvian. It was as if the blueprints to some odd device had found its way to her brain and as more items were given to her, the more she was able to fuss.

The blank henshin pen was pure white, the metal included. No symbol, nothing to signify that it belonged to anybody. It had just been waiting for a senshi to be found so it could get activated and find a purpose. However, now it had a new purpose altogether.

The bottom of the henshin pen was popped open, and the senshi quickly scrambled to pull the contents out. The calligraphy pen which Thetis had offered wasn't going to be used for the final product, but it was helpful in serving as a tool as she began to undo some attachments and reposition them. A few wires from Ash's offerings were tossed into the mix, giving new connections to the device. A couple tiny metallic pieces resembling arrows (the set of watch hands) were eventually picked up and once more used as makeshift tools. Once ********* seemed satisfied, she switched out the base of the henshin pen with one of Ash's switches with a round base that fit in that spot.

The couple final touches seemed rather for aesthetics, but they had their purpose as well. Pulling out a stretch of her own star-covered ribbons, she tore it after she got 2 yards of the material. Tying it to the top of the henshin pen, she strung one of the pearls there before forming a bow. Only one tail trailed down and at the very end of that ribbon, ********* placed the another pearl.

It almost looked like a magical fairy wand with a long ribbon meant for twirling in the air.

For a moment, the Mauvian Senshi crouched down before seeming to spring into action. Clutching onto the new contraption, she sprang past Cora, aiming to wrap the base of the ribbon along the beast's leg.

If she managed to hit her mark, she stopped in place before flipping the switch at the base.

"ACTIVATE!"

gaia_star B) Try to make an 'item' to save the monster.

As the item ********* wielded pulsed with energy Dahlia had witnessed the shard eject from the side of monster and bounce once, twice, until it landed right in the pile of her and Horatio's items.

The aura was obvious, it was the thing they'd all come to the park looking for, the thing she'd watched sink into the man before he became a monster. And it had a distinctly Mauvian feel to it.

She should totally share this with everyone right? Let them all see it and study it so they could all figure out just what in the world it was. Her eyes flicked over to Mauvian Sailor *********. Unfortunately Dahlia had never really been a big fan of sharing.

The asteroid shard was quickly popped into the fan in her lap and unlike all the other objects she'd tried to hook to it this one actually DID something.

With a sudden glow and puff of dark energy the cat girl was suddenly another cat senshi. And Dahlia took a good long moment to admire her new ensemble.

"Well isn't that exciting" She smirked, mostly to herself.

Once she had activated the device, she had to turn to watch both Cora and the beast she had been clutching onto. The Mauvian senshi had never seen the beast as anything else due to the previous canine youma, but as the body seemed to lose fur and gradually shift into the form of a human, ********* couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"...that was lucky!" she confessed rather easily. "...that was a 'one time only' sort of deal..." The silvery haired one untied the top of the ribbon attached to the blank henshin pen, leaving the other end tangled upon the man's leg. The device was never designed for more than one use, and there had been a chance that it could have exploded or shorted before use.

Now that the threat was seemingly neutralized, the Mauvian senshi proceeded to attempt assisting Cora in moving the man to a slightly nicer location.

The white fluffy cat's (Snowball) observation didn't fall upon deaf ears, even if he had not said it to anybody in particular. "...it also means that these 'shards'... are not safe for humans to touch..." If that monster had been the result of the shard interacting with a human, it meant that the Mauvians needed to find all the shards they could to prevent a disaster like this from happening again.
