She could feel the Captain at her side and she was glad of Umber’s support. To often these battles went side ways and she struggled to fight alone. The scar that ran across her chest was proof of how poorly things went when she let herself get in over her head, and the last large battle she had participated in, against this very senshi, was a great example of a time she could have used more back up than a basic senshi.
Red eyes focused on the blonde she remembered from the park and her grin was feral as she tensed, knees flexing and hands curling into claws. The girl paced forward and abruptly Cin’s smile dropped away as the white and red fuku blurred into sweeping trains of tulle. As suddenly as the change, the aura burst outward in near blinding brightness, and for just a moment, a flash of pain in her chest brought a flicker of something like fear into Cinnabar’s eyes. Anger surged suddenly to drown it out and her mouth twisted into an ugly snarl.
“WELL, look at you, Senshi b***h. All dolled up in fancy new clothes and a fancy new power signature.” The General growled, the youma in her twisting the sound to something more feline and less than human. It rattled in her throat, threat and warning combined, and she huffed with derisive laughter. “Were you so worried about me, you had to rush out and get a power boost just to be able to keep up? You shouldn’t have bothered… You’ll still die like the others.”
The appearance of a copy of the Squire that had arrived with the new princess was a momentary distraction, but it just walked right past her as though she didn’t exist and was quickly dispatched by the Captain that stood with it. It gave her a little bit more confidence, her fingers stretching. Suddenly, though, there was a flurry of fur and a small body was suddenly at her feet, distracting her from the enemy with its sheer oddity.
“…Khay?” Cinnabar blinked in confusion at a cat putting himself between her and a Princess in an incredibly idiotic show of misplaced bravery. The General tensed, adding yet another thing to her list of things to keep an eye on in this battle. There wasn’t much to be done about it now though, not without weakening her own position. She would have to trust that the cat could take care of himself after throwing his hat into this over powered fight. Something had to be done, and quick, because another eternal was joining and the odds were too much for even a General and a Captain to handle alone.
“Khay, stay out of the way of feet unless they’re Order. Umber, send out a call for help. I’m going to make a distraction.” She said in a low voice. It was going to need to be something to call the Princess’s attention, and maybe hold off the others from doing anything… and the best way about doing that was with a hostage. The best person for the job, thankfully, was standing right there.
Between one blink of the eye and another, Cinnabar disappeared from her position in front of the door to a location not so far away. With everyone focused on the door, it left their backs all too vulnerable and she took advantage of that to land behind Valhalla and in a smooth motion, throw an arm around his neck. Her grip was steel as she yanked him backwards, putting a few paces of space between herself and the others.
“OVER HERE.” She shouted, her free hand darting forward with a bit of concentration to slam into the knight’s back. It didn’t stop at armor though… her fingers slid right through it and into that vague other place where the most precious of jewels hid. “Pretty whore Princess… This one belongs to you, doesn’t he?”
Fangs bared, she drug him back a step. “Everyone, away from the door, or I crush his seed!”

Wither growled when he missed, but he wasn't deterred. "You're magic's broken senshi. It doesn't ******** do anything," he said bringing his other fist forward to punch the senshi in the gut. If he dodged again, than he would just have to tackle her. Getting her to the ground would make it a lot easy to drain her and pluck her starseed anyway.
He grin was very mischevious in that moment. It was probably obvious by the look he was plotting something, likely not at all what she thought. It was quite a rush for him to drain someone until the passed out and it was generally something he could do to civilians.
Mistral hit the floor hard, having been shoved rudely out of the way when the general grabbed Valhalla. She blinked stars from her vision and forced herself to take a deep breath - she was fragile, but this was a fight, and she was a knight, damn it! She was going to be useful! Cinnabar didn't seem to have noticed her, and she was going to use that to her advantage.
Mistral bit her lip and brushed her fingers over her signet ring, pulling Mercury's power around her like a cloak. She rolled onto her hands and knees, oriented herself towards the office door, and, very slowly, began to crawl towards it. Her aspect granted her limited camouflage - hopefully that would be enough to make her go unnoticed.
It wasn't that she didn't care about Valhalla, just that, well, there were multiple princesses here. There were a lot of people here. And if Mistral was inconspicuous, then she was going to use that to her advantage.
And if she got Valhalla killed, well, it wouldn't be the first death on her conscience. She doubted it would be the last.
DID SHE DISAPPEAR? DID SHE TURN INVISIBLE?
A Mercury Knight's form becomes staticy / glitchy in appearance, as if they were products of the advanced technology that is their planet's pride and joy. This enables them to blend in with their surroundings slightly: opponents have trouble seeing them if they are standing still, and their movements can be difficult to read in close combat. Mistral can use her aspect for up to five minutes!

Verona following after Juno was easy.
Up until she felt the bright light of a power she had never felt before. This must be one of the princesses or royals that Babylon talked about. The strongest of the order kind. Since nothing emitted from the chaos, she didn't worry and pulled the nearest lieutenant she could find into her grasp.
Even if she looked dainty in her outfit, she wasn't about to let the heels fool. She was going to curbstomp some chaos into it's place.
"Oi. Hold and punch or you just wanna steam roll through-Uh...Whatever you call yourself?" Couldn't really call her Aitana now could she?

IS THERE SOMEONE BY? IDK I can throw Pyro over here or something >_>
Actually, he couldn't feel any of the power signatures but he would take Mistral's word for it that the Negaverse was in the office. Valhalla glanced curiously over his shoulder when she placed herself behind him, but when she used her magic it was clear to see why. A copy of herself? Valhalla let out an impressed whistle before focusing back on the task at hand.
The youma General seemed to have other ideas, and while Valhalla thought she would focus on Ganymede, he watched in surprise as she disappeared from in front of the door. She didn't abandon them, did she?
No, that would be too convenient. Instead, he suddenly found himself in a choke hold, having been unable to sense her aura to pinpoint where she went. But Mistral seemed to go unnoticed, and while Valhalla was concerned about her being injured as she was thrown to the side, he didn't make any mention of her in hopes that she would be able to get away.
Sure enough, she seemed to fade and head towards the office as a hand found its way though his back.
He thought he should be used to the sensation by now. Should be used to the pain that seemed to spread out to every inch of his body as she messed with his starseed, but he let out an angry, pained hiss regardless.
"Y-you're lying," he growled, his eyes shut to the pain as his hands went to try and pry her arm away from his neck. She was taller than he'd expected. "You... you think she would hesitate to kill you if you killed me? G-go on and... try it," he struggled to say as his throat tightened and pain pulsed through him, not just trying to call her bluff but also to buy time for Mistral. Hopefully Ganymede would realize the bluff too and attack her regardless. "Last... I heard... Laurelite wants me corrupted... Unless you don't... follow... a General-Q-queen's... orders."

"No kidding, asshat," Jet snarled in Aurostibite's direction, but didn't bother looking up to see exactly what the other was doing. Even when it sounded like there was a knight that made its way into the office he kept trying to pull something up on the computer, letting the others handle the knight.
"The others should have had enough time to collect everything they could," he said in regards to the agents in the train cars. "Let's see if we can get them out safely."
His attention was momentarily drawn when a powerful aura seemed to be coming their way, but quickly went back to work trying to locate something in the systems that would help them.
"If all else fails, we could always destroy everything in here," he suggested to his... partner in all this. He definitely wouldn't have been the one to pick Aurostibite to work with, but he was quite capable of being able to worth with people he disliked to complete a mission.

Ganymede felt pretty confident about their odds, despite the fears and uncertainties that always plagued her when she powered up. They were a Princess, a Knight, an Eternal, and a Squire against one General and one Captain. Confidence filled her, straightened her posture and put an impassive look on her face.
She didn't respond to Cinnbar's taunting, as unimpressed by it as she would have been had it come from a Lieutenant. She quickly eyed the cat that suddenly appeared at Cinnabar's feet. It's presence hardly did anything to change the odds. Certainly they still favored her party over the General and the Captain.
It wasn't until Cinnabar disappeared that Ganymede reacted, whipping around to try and find out where she went. It didn't take her long to determine, as Valhalla was close by, now in a chokehold with a hand thrust through his back. Right for the starseed, she knew. She wouldn't expect anything less from a Negaverse officer. Desperation always brought out the starseed threats.
Ganymede struggled to look unaffected. The impassive expression she wore slipped for all of a moment before she was able to pull it back into place. She wouldn't be able to hide what Valhalla meant to her; the Negaverse had discovered that easily enough during their captivity. But she could keep herself from panicking, try to find some way out of this situation that would result in Valhalla being saved.
“He's right, you know,” she said evenly, without the tremble in her voice that might usually speak of fear and uncertainty. “Laurelite wants him. She almost had him before. She would have, if it wasn't for me. Either way, I suggest you let him go.”
On instinct, her hand lifted toward her tiara. “I don't want to have to hurt you. I'd be happy to let you all walk out of here unharmed if you'd put a stop to this mission. But I will hurt you if you provoke me, you and every last one of your officers.”

The platform was still more crowded then she would have liked. It cramped her style for cool moves with the lack of room for running handsprings or whatever way she could think of to add a little extra umph into her kicks. Ah well, maybe if she went a little closer to the rails there would be a bit more room and she could throw some people down onto the tracks.
A familiar sound, as Verona attempted to get her attention caused the amazon to pivot in her step, spotting the page and the enemy she'd grabbed onto.
The swimming of auras in many different levels and kinds was a little confusing. But she could (almost) always trust her eyes.
"Juno" She answered dutifully, laughing as she came close enough to deliver a quick and concise punch right at about kidney level on the lieutenant. "Always punch!"

I hadn't sent them anywhere in particular since you were at work, and I was getting ready to be gone all evening, but they can go bug whoever!
Athene had sensed the blaze of first one and then two Order Royal auras as he exited the toilets, the scene in front of him one of absolute chaos as terrified passengers made their way in the general direction of the exit in a mass stampede of panic...
And whilst Athene could sense a mass of Order and Negaverse auras clustered together further along, it seemed that the mass of civilians were between them and him which meant that he probably wasn't going to get past them easily.
I'll just have to do what I can he decided, Perhaps see if I can help the people trying to leave get out.
He shifted movement to thought, knowing that the stampede wasn't going to help anyone out.
He could sense a Lieutenant aura coming from nearby as he stopped to help an elderly-looking man who had been knocked over up, eyes warily glancing around as he tried to pinpoint where it was coming from.

“You don’t like coffee?” Subamara asked. He kind of wasn’t wrong about her magic, though. It wasn’t broken, but it really wasn’t fight magic. Kind of embarrassing. She needed to get around to seeing if the university offered any martial arts classes.
She jumped backwards from the stomach punch, straight into a pillar behind her, and twisted sideways to avoid getting pinned.
She had time to notice the shifting auras around them, and met his grin with a blissful smile of her own as she felt the powerful brightness of a princess on the scene. Now she felt like they stood a chance. Hopefully someone was tearing down the turnstiles by now to get the rest of the people out.
But the price of caffeine-intensive focus was that it didn’t last. The magic wore off suddenly, leaving her groggy by comparison. She kicked out at the man’s shin, but her movements lacked the assurance of a moment ago, and she wobbled uncertainly on her heeled boots.

No worries, it got crazy busy in here! Hope this is okay!
Maia hadn't been expecting the youma general to grab Valhalla. She wasn't expecting it and found her herself nearly knocked over when Val was grabbed. She saw Mistral hit the ground as she stumbled and then the girl disappeared. She was momentarily confused but she didn't have time to think about it because the general had her hand in Val's chest and she tensed frozen afraid that her friends starseed would be crush.
She looked to Ganymede briefly listening to the conversation and being slightly confused. It seemed the general was potentially bluffing even so Ganymede went for her tiara and Maia took a step back.
"Gany," she hissed not knowing if she should stay still or break for the door. She would be devastated if her actions caused something bad to happen, but inaction could possibly hurt a lot people on the train. They still had no idea what this was all about. She eyed the door wanting to know what Ganymede thought she should do. Was this General really bluffing?
Maia wouldn't chance it, not unless they were sure. She glared at the general wanting so badly to hit her with her magic, but she would hit Val too. At least Mistral's slipping away seemed to go unnoticed although the other was still near, or at least she thought she could feel her.

"Coffee's not my thing, I prefer a runner's high. Exercise work much better magic slinger. Enough talk, youre just delaying the inevitable," he said grinning as she hit the pillar even though she slipped away. He moved back as she kicked out at his chin and she seemed slower and he would definitely use this to his advantage..
"Times to say goodnight magic slinger," he growled as he stepped back and charge forward to tackle the other to the ground. He just need to get her down and get a good hold to pull her energy from her. He'd drain her enough to where she was weak, but the pain of his pulling her starseed would still be very thoroughly felt.
Pompeii froze for a split second. She was not expecting the impertinent negaverse agent to just bum rush her like that. He hadn't even said a thing with regards to the alarm. He had been so focused on the alarm the change in his focus really confused Pompeii.
She finally reacted to his charge, granted a fraction of a second too slowly. The purple squire scrambled to the side, her heels scrabling across the tile as Pompeii did her best to escape. She could feel the young man brush within arms reach, hell the slight tug on her skirt showed her just how close he was to actually taking her down. What the boy didn't realize was Pompeii had been training with Maia and Shang for nearly two years and had at least some proficiency in fighting.
Pompeii spun on her heel and whipped out the edge of her shawl. Normally she would have charged it with magic so it would bind itself to the attacker but she held back from using her magic. Logic dictated preserving her magical strength until it was necessary to use it, and in this case it wasn't. The yarn woven shawl had enough force around it all by itself that if her aim was true it would hurt when it struck like a rolled up wet towel hurt when used to snap some bare asses in a locker room.

Mistral is still under cover of the Aspect of Mercury!
So far so good, thought Mistral, gritting her teeth. She'd reached the wall beside the door, passing through dangerous territory to get there. Everyone's focus seemed to be on the dramatics taking place over Valhalla's starseed - and she was glad for that, because it was buying her room to work.
She got to her feet, slowly still because she didn't want to break through the magic and draw unwanted attention - that would be a really great way to die, and by great she meant terrible.
Pressing herself against the tile, Mistral inched along towards the door. So far, still, so good - she would have to thank Ganymede later for buying her the time, although that was assuming this all worked out. She was fairly certain the princess would have no trouble denying her an audience if Mistral manage to get her husband killed.
She had finally reached the door, and Mistral reached out and tried the handle, hoping that her movements did not alert the captain stationed a few feet away. Luck was on her side, because it turned easily. She gave the door a gentle tug, letting it drift open, and pressed herself against the wall. Hopefully that would be enough of a distraction to the people inside to let her slip in unnoticed.
Mistral pressed herself against the wall and waited - now was the most dangerous time for her if the people inside the office were going to move.
Mistral has opened the office door! She is still under protection of the Aspect of Mercury!
DID SHE DISAPPEAR? DID SHE TURN INVISIBLE?
A Mercury Knight's form becomes staticy / glitchy in appearance, as if they were products of the advanced technology that is their planet's pride and joy. This enables them to blend in with their surroundings slightly: opponents have trouble seeing them if they are standing still, and their movements can be difficult to read in close combat. Mistral can use her aspect for up to five minutes!
Caramel had taken note of Brimstone's orders by standing up and tucking her magazine under her arm before making her way over to the bathroom, because whilst she was grateful for the go ahead to go and shed some layers - she was also pretty certain that stripping off the suit jacket and skirt that she'd used to cover up her uniform in the middle of the platform would only serve to net her weird stares.
The platform had remained White Moon aura-less as she winded her slow way through waiting passengers over to the ladies restroom, taking the opportunity as she did so to snatch a starseed from a man who looked half asleep - in the interests in helping him all the way there and permanently - and then snatching another from a woman playing some sort of game on her mobile.
These she slipped surreptitiously into her handbag, before making her way into the restroom itself. It was empty which was perfect and so Caramel wasted no time in stripping jacket and skirt, bundling the duo into a wad which was wedged as best she could in the space behind the toilet.
There were still no pesky White Moon auras and so Caramel had taken the chance to splash some water on her face because man it was hot and touch up her make up - because what was an extra 5 minutes or so...
She had snatched starseed no. three on the way out and back to the platform from some idiot who had leered at her, sliding it into the hand bag that swung from her shoulder to join the fellows she had appropriated earlier and then had made it back onto the platform in time to see the train screeching past without stopping.
And then things had gone kind of crazy.
It had started with a lone White Moon aura - a senshi and a basic one at that - Caramel unable to stop the look of disbelief sliding across her face as the idiot started yelling in the middle of the platform.
It seemed however that the purple-haired general had everything well in hand and so Caramel had turned with the intention of doing her part to try and help with damage control with the intention of perhaps snagging starseed number four.
However she hadn't expected White Moon auras to suddenly start popping up every friggin way, a couple of which felt super mega powerful.
And she certainly wasn't expecting the fire alarm to go off - although the passengers starting to stampede in mass panic was at least predictable - bovines the lot of them.
Starseed acquiring attempts thwarted, Caramel instead looked to where she would be most useful and on deciding on by the office made her way over there as best she could, her weapon - a stupid daisy chain - to hand.
It meant getting closer the that super strong White Moon aura than she would have liked, but there seemed more White Moon auras that way than Negaverse auras and the black-haired General with horns and tail looked like she could do with some back up.
Did she have a plan? No, but hopefully one more person for Team Chaos would help with dealing with the bunch of pesky space invaders.
