Transcended Eternal Scylla, Senshi of The Kraken - B5 needs to go to C3
Bellerophon's fire attack worked quite well on the tentacle, and it whipped wildly back and forth before the pain caused it to open. Poor tentacle. All it had wanted was a hug- it wasn't hurting nobody. And yet the smell of charred calamari now filled the area, bring Scylla even closer to awareness.
No, someone was shouting, and it started to clear the haze of fury that covered Scylla's eyes like a film, Stop it, she's a friend! Acubens was throwing her body between Scylla and her own Court, and the look on the Senshi of the Kraken's face was likely a treat for everyone there. "You have strange taste in friends, Acubens." her voice was still raw, hoarse. "Get them out of here. The Dark Mirror doesn't belong as part of this. Never has. None of them should be here." Every one of them was a mistake. If the Parallels hadn't found their way from another... well... version of here... If she hadn't helped that day... if-
If, If, If.
Seeing Hydrus yelling at his teammate made Scylla feel tired. And old. Looking at all of them made Scylla feel old.
"Bestie?" she repeated to Tsukuyomi blankly, but the I hope we don't meet again made something in Scylla's eyes relax, the rage-crease between her brows thinning.
Hitomi, it seemed, had gone unmolested by her tentacle. Holding still and not panicking seemed to have worked, and it was a flaw that Scylla wouldn't even take note of until later. "I- I'm sorry your cat climbed a tree?" she ventured, as- was one of the senshi offering her flowers?
Blankly, and absolutely, visibly, confused, Scylla reached out and thoughtlessly accepted the mourningbride flower from Ariadne. Oh, Scylla realized almost the moment she took hold of it, the confusion and- WHY had Acubens STOPPED them???
Slowly, not even realizing she was doing it, the Senshi of the Kraken leaned in and draped one arm over Ariadne, her weight slowly relaxing into the other woman, pressing her cheek tiredly into that pinkish hair. And then RUBBING, while the non-draped arm lifted to pet Ariadne on the head. "My sister's here to fight a general," she told Ariadne, "But you- you're so huggable."
Yes, her voice was still raw and gravelly, but it was also full of vague horror. "Why am I hugging you?" she whispered quite loudly. "I'm so mad about your court even existing, I should want to punch you in the face but I just want to hug you."
Slowly, she made to try and turn away to head towards her sister. She... needed to stop hugging. And go protect Giulia...

General Titanite - A2
Strange, Titanite reflected, peering up at the Senshi and Knights surrounding her fallen form, they didn't seem happy to be playing with a General as fun and as relaxing as Titanite. In fact, some of these stupid sods apparently wanted to go out there into the cold, harsh world and die. They seemed almost eager to, and one of them was even interested in kicking her in the ribs!
Underneath Pendour, Titanite found herself sighing loudly, and her thickly accented voice muttered "Damn it."
She punched out with one stud-gloved hand, aiming for Hydor's kicking ankle. "I wanted to play with you. I wanted to distract you all, and keep you safe from what is going to happen out there because you are cute, and small, and I am the gentle sort."
Different from the violence of her punch towards Hydor, Titanite's other hand was gentle as she pressed lightly at Pendour. "I hate fighting. Well. I love fighting, probably far too much. I make money off it, sometimes, even. But this whole-"
None of them were appreciating the generosity of Titanite's gentle, kind soul. Here she was, trying to give them a fun memory to take away, instead of death.
"If you will not play with me and be distracted, then I will be forced to do my job. I hate doing my job. It is the actual worst. Please do not make me fight you."
Especially not all of you, she added mentally, Because I will lose, and then you will go get in trouble anyways.
Wisps popped up around the squire and Wavellite started poking them. That seemed like just a smart decision on her part, though the Captain did do a great job at negating whatever defense that was. Leif charged past Wavellite, patting her gently on the shoulder as she passed. "I got this!"
She ignored the child senshi - chibi, she guessed they were called - and dove straight for Caer Sidi's skirts, aiming to slam her shoulder into roughly where the girl's knees would be. If she could get her to buckle - or better yet, blow out a knee - then Leif could take her to the ground and pin her down. Caer Sidi was a squire, yes, but Leif was out for blood.

Squire Irkalla - A2
At times one could only stand by and be a spectator for so long. Irkalla had reached that point as she saw the senshi aiming kicks to try and strike Titanite in the ribs. It was morally wrong in the woman's eyes to strike an enemy when they were down and it was with no thinking on her part that she made the effort to stand closer to Titanite's supine form. Even after feeling the effect of the harp-playing wash over her Irkalla refused to leave. Her gaze lingered on those still in the immediate area before she watched as Titanite struck out at the senshi that was trying to kick her. Blinking quickly the squire moved to step in between the general and senshi in order to prevent any more fighting.
Did she know that was she was doing was protecting the enemy? Yes. Did she happen to care about that right now? No. All she could see was that if she didn't do something right now - that the easy truce that was happening would be broken. Carnage was not anywhere on her list of things that one wanted to see.
"That's enough," her voice was directed both at the senshi (Hydor) and Titanite. Her gaze took in the squire (Pendour) who was preventing Titanite from apparently rising from the ground.
"No one has to fight here. If you guys are so worried about what is going on nearby, then go figure out. I can stay and watch to make sure that our friend here continues to be distracted."
It was her hope that the others would take their battles somewhere else. It was strange but since she had met Titanite before - she didn't wish to see Titanite harm anyone or be harmed in return.
Arthuradel saw her all too short life flash before her eyes as the pick came for her. She tried to twist in midair to avoid the hit. Thankfully she was saved from impalement by an ice shield. The young senshi landed on her feet and shot a grateful glance to the Squire who had save her. "Thank you!" She looked to the Super who had come over to them "I'm ok, thanks" she replied.
She wished she could thank the Squire more for saving her life but they were still in the middle of a battle and the Lieutenant had challenged. Arthuradel squared her shoulders, as much as was possible for a 12 year old. "Ok me vs you and miss Squire vs the Captain. That seems fair." She agreed taking a fighting stance against the lieutenant.
"I'm Chibi Sailor Arthuradel, senshi of Honor." She introduced herself figuring it was appropriate in fair duel. She waited till the Lieutenant was clearly ready before unleashing her attack "Arthuradel Saber Strike" The ethereal sword formed in her her hand and she swung it down sending wave of energy at the Lieutenant.
Sailor Scout Attack: Arthuradel Saber Strike
Arthuradel holds her hand up as if she was holding a sword, her honor manifests in the form of a sword made light and force that when she swings it down it fires a single slash of compressed energy straight at her opponent. (If she uses this attack with out facing her opponent head on [honorably] then its power is severely weakened and if her opponent is dishonorable then the attack is stronger, both at the player's discretion) (As a chibi the attack just pushes her opponents back) uses: 3 range: up to 5 ft (chibi)

Super Sailor Ara , Chibi Senshi of Illumination - C3
Ara took off running with Charybdis and the unfamiliar squire. Then strange wisps surrounded the Squire. They were taken out almost immediately though as the Captain who was chasing them kept poking them making them explode. It seemed to blow back on the captain knocking her out. Ara shook her head it seemed like an incredibly foolish decision to her. It was like trying to get through a wall by banging your head against it, sure you might put a hole in it but you knocked yourself out in the process. It was self destructive and tactically unsound, did she even know what the wisps were or what they would do?
Ara put thoughts of the Captain out of her mind as she was no longer a problem. Instead she focused on the Lieutenant who dived past herself and Charybdis going for the Squire's legs. "Infinite Light Parade" She called out sending all six of her lights at the Lieutenant.
"Don't forget about us." The 14 year old said as she jumped on the Lieutenant trying to pin her down.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Infinite Light Parade
Six motes of light appear in the air behind Ara and fire toward her opponent(s). The blasts of light knocks an opponent back and blinds them and can at the other player's discretion leave a cut and burn where the light hits them (As a chibi the cut and the burn are minor). Time (blinded):25 seconds Uses: 3 Range: up to 7 feet (chibi)
If it hadn't been for the need to protect the child from an unplanned lobotomy or something, Imbrium and Roselite would probably have stared at each other silently for a while longer. But the younger senshi's LIFE was a little more important than awkward, dramatic staring, and Imbrium was glad when the less-powerful Negaverse agent tried to...
Get the pick-wielding maniac to pay attention to her.
It's okay, Imbrium tried to assure Roselite with her eyes, I'll only haunt you for eternity when I die.
The Chibi, Arthuradel apparently, may have had honor; but it was clear that the Captain did not. While the Chibi and the Lieutenant were squaring off, Imbrium was dropping her shield wall to try and fire it between Bloodstone and the Super who had just... wanted to check on a kid.
"You have got to be kidding me," she yowled, trying to aim her wall to smack Bloodstone right in that ugly face, "Attacking a kid, attacking a bystander, why not pick on someone your OWN size."
Imbrium was not, in fact, his own size, but she was at least a Squire and could probably punch him in the face or something before she got nailed in the head.
Literally.

Chibi Super Charybdis, Senshi of Seals - C3
There was no small amount of discomfort at leaving Hyperborea behind to face the General, but Charybdis was here to protect Caer Sidi, because the bad people wanted her, and Charybdis... was the senshi of Seals. Did they know what else was a Seal? A WALRUS, because a Seal was the name for Pinnipeds, and a Walrus was a Pinniped. All that to say- Giulia had BIG TEETH and could FIGHT.
Ara was also with them, though, and Hyperborea had sent some... things... to float after them. There were Lieutenants, and more generals appearing, and Charybdis....
Watched, as Ara tried to take the kneecaps of the Lieutenant attacking them.
Staring around at all the people who were popping up to try and hurt the Squire with her, Charybdis came to the realization she might, actually, be in over her head. And so, casting her pride to the ground and stomping on it with everything she had, Charybdis called to the one person who always told her not to DO s**t like this.
Lifting her chin and glaring defiantly at all the Chaos people in the area, Charybdis said clearly, making sure that even those still near Hyperborea could hear her threat- "Y'all are gonna be in SO much trouble."
Sucking in air, all the air she could, Charybdis aimed her hands in the direction where she could see her older sister (hanging out with her friends or something), cupping them like a bullhorn, and bellowed, her voice as shrill, panicked, and afraid as she could make it sound- "MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! HELP ME, MOOMMYYYYY!!!!!!"
Who needed pride, anyways? There was death on the line, here, and Charybdis wasn't afraid to use all her weapons.
The park might have been swirling in a whirlwind of auras around them. There might have been a literal whirlwind a few feet away from Pendour, and a General inches from her knees. With all that, the Squire had much bigger things to focus on than any banter that was happening on the side, but a certain word still caught her attention.
She straightened in an instant, stopping the soothing hand motions that she was trying with the General while she stared at the wind senshi. She blinked. She whispered, on a softly excited breath, "You're ace, too?"
It would have been something to bond over, maybe. Would have, if he hadn't decided to come over and kick the General while she was on the ground. Pendour gasped. Then, without really thinking, she flung herself over the General, chest to chest. Maybe it would get people to think twice, get them to stop.
Sumner at least, or the other Squire. There was no way to no if the senshi would even care.
"Go see if others need help," she said, mirroring what the Cosmos Squire had said. "But don't hurt her! She's not doing anything."
Distracting, maybe, but Pendour believed the General's words, believed that her actions were not coming from a place of malice.
"Titanite? Is that your name? You don't have to go after anyone," she whispered. "Stay here with me, and your friend. Um, tell your bosses how well you kept our attention, if they ask. Two Squires. That's not something shameful."
As she spoke, she did her best to move in those subtle ways to make herself heavier. Even if the General did not listen to her words, she was going to have to do something about the six foot tall woman on top of her if she planned on moving far.
Hatsya’s foot faltered at the sudden shout from the overwhelming aura that descended upon her. She turned, twisting on her heel and felt something crack.
Both arms came up, the sword turned and pointed towards him instead. In the moment of terror and absolute panic, the logistics of her magic had been completely forgotten. The fact that her sword was not real, not tangible, and would not block anything physical.
Realization soon struck her in the form of a morning-star like flail.
His rage-filled expression made her heart stop and her blood run cold. The anger in his startling purple eyes was all she had time to comprehend as the golden weapon swung high overhead. Its weight slammed into her and then come, knees buckling under her from the weight and force behind the devastating blow.
Voice caught in her throat and all she could do was stand there like a helpless lamb and squeeze her eyes shut. Flashbacks to Castor, to the Dark Kingdom, and hailstones that beat her into unconsciousness were swiftly followed by pain.
Unlike the deep throb of an old injury brought to life by an unwanted memory. This was new. A new sharp pain that radiated up her arm, another that throbbed against the side of her head. When finally she was able to draw in a gasping breath, Hatsya rolled over and had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from screaming.
The familiarness of the sensation left little room to wonder if her arm was broken. Her face, however...
Hatsya blinked and the world around her was half-painted a red sort of hue from the blood that trailed from the open-cut into the corner of her eye when she moved.
Beni… she tried to call out but the only sound that came was a pathetic whimper. Ashen blond hair pulled back into a low ponytail, long blue coat with silver ivy draped around him. His familiar lethal spear aimed at the Transcended Knight that very nearly killed her just now.
The purple of her outfit did actually match the purple of Paradise's fairly well. Anser might have bonded over that -- it was a good purple, honestly -- if it wasn't for the press of the generals' energy signatures and the super and basic senshi up ahead. Cybele went ahead, and Anser was prepared to follow, but she was being considerate, at least, waited for Empyrean and Paradise to acknowledge they were going to follow her and Cybele's lead.
... Actually felt nice to have some very much older adults acknowledge that she knew what she was doing, unlike half of the Negaverse agents she ran into. She had been dealing with this s**t since before she was even a teenager, thanks--
Cybele looked like that, for the moment, she had the tattooed senshi down -- note to self, binding magic, that seemed like a problem -- and the leopard-spotted senshi came swooping toward them, attacking Paradise first in a way that left pain but no marks.
Rude.
She made sure she was in close range of the two pages before hissing, "Here, this should give you guys a reflex boost, if you want to put some distance--" Not the time to talk any further and figuring she had gotten the message across, she declared, "Mothers' Geese!"
After the geese honked in the direction of Cymophane, she charged at him, aiming to sock him in the face.
Quote:
Super Sailor Scout Attack:"Mothers Geese!" Geese are known for being great guards. Anser says her attack name and a couple ethereal goslings appear in front of her, honking. After the gosling honks out its warning, Anser and other allies within a five-foot radius find that their reflexes are enhanced, allowing them to either better fight back physically or put some distance between themselves and whatever danger there may be. (Usage: Twice per battle Duration: 20 seconds Range: 5ft)

Knight WhislerG-5 To C-3 Whistler stiffened as his eyes landed on the corrupt. She...was on the ground...and there was blood. And Benitoite was there taunting...and this was just. “******** this!” He hissed out, glancing at the Chibi who seemed to be more or less all right...but…
His eyes snapped over to the retreating Squire, the one who must be the cause of all of this to do. She was running from Ashanite...drawing a group of would be protectors with her...but. But.
Was this simply a trap? To get as many corrupted with her as she could?
God. What a mess.
He left without another word, running with all the speed he could muster, going to intercept the Squire. Interrogate her, if he were being honest. Ashanite...he would deal with him later, if he got the chance, though when he glanced over, he felt his pulse quicken just slightly.
Damn the man. Stupidly attractive even after...everything.
But this clearly had him written all over it.
He began to swing his weapon in the air, channeling his magic towards the fairytale knight.
They needed to have a talk. And she needed to get out of her little group of...protectors.
Or sacrifices. Who really could say.

Roselite had no interest in fighting a child. Truth be told, he had no interest in fighting anyone. Not the Squire (Imbrium). Not the Super Senshi that came to assist (Phaethon). Certainly not any of the brighter auras he could feel in the vicinity.
His weapon was a butter knife! And he was skinny, with sticks for arms! What did anyone honestly expect him to accomplish with all that?
But the Chibi Senshi, Arthuradel, attacked him, thought it fair to fight him. Compared to Bloodstone, yes, this set up seemed more fair, but… but Roselite couldn’t retaliate against a child! He raised his arms defensively, protecting his face and head from the Chibi’s attack, but other than knocking him back a few steps, it didn’t harm him.
A child with weak magic. What was she doing out here in the first place?
“I don’t want to fight you!” Roselite said, voice high with anxiety. “Please, you’re—”
A baby, practically. Only not. A pre-teen, maybe, certainly no older than thirteen. What had Roselite been doing at thirteen? Reading books and taking piano lessons, not fighting a magical war.
“I just want to talk!” Roselite insisted, holding his hands up in a placating gesture. “I… I won’t let him hurt you!”
Bloodstone seemed satisfied with swinging his pick at the other two, in any case. Roselite made a point not to watch. He was still squeamish around blood.
“You said you’re the Senshi of Honor, and… I’m unarmed, so… Is it even honorable for you to fight me?”
Could have been something to bond over, perhaps might have, if Hydor wasn't more interested in the end of anyone who aligned themselves to Chaos. As was, instead, he found himself hissing in annoyance as he realized the fact that the punch to his ankle had gotten through some of his excessive layers of clothing, growling quietly at the way it burned much like it had when he had waded into the ocean without knowing of a cut on his leg--
Wait, cute and small-- the <******** about him was cute? What was about him was small?! He was fairly sure he was taller than she was, just from some triangulation--
No, he was getting distracted. Whatever she was doing was succeeding, and he didn't like it.
He directed his glare first to the cosmos squire and then to Pendour. "Look, she may not be doing anything now," Hydor crossed his arms, shaking out his foot as he gestured to the general that he was purposefully not addressing who was being nearly bodily squashed by Pendour, "but she's a general. So far as I can tell, you don't get to general by doing nothing for their damned Metallia. She's not innocent."
He really didn't care if she was doing nothing currently or not. She had definitely done something.
He could also tell that everything up ahead of them was an absolute mess.
There were a lot of people around the fountain. Maybe he would just observe from a distance until he could figure out what the most logical approach to that mess would be.

Dark Mirror Eternal Acubens -- B5
They were leaving. They were pissed at her. But they were leaving. And that was all that mattered. That and Scylla wasn't attacking anyone anymore. She turned to the Kraken Senshi to say... something... to be honest Acubens hadn't planned that far in advance.
But it didn't seem like it mattered.
Even if Acubens hadn't stopped her court from attacking Scylla, it would seem that she was otherwise... occupied. Acubens would be lying if she said she didn't feel a pang of jealousy as she watched Scylla cuddle and nuzzle the new senshi. All she ever wanted from Scylla was a kind word, and now for some reason she was all over someone Acubens didn't really know.
But at least she was, for the moment, placated.
"Logos, get Rana out of here. I'm going to hang back and just... make sure things stay at least... not actively bad."
She approached Scylla and the Dark Mirror she currently had a hold on, reaching out a cautious hand.
"Scylla?"
---
Dark Mirror Super Sailor Logos -- B5
Logos knew Miss Acubens would take responsibility for Logos' actions. She would say that Logos was just doing what she was told, that Acubens was the one who made the call. She wanted Logos to remain in good standing with the strangers.
Logos didn't really care one way or the other.
She watched Miss Acubens wince and flinch when the other senshi hurled their angry words. She wanted so badly to be liked by everyone... Logos knew this hurt her immensely, and she wished Miss Acubens would let her take responsibility for her own actions. Miss Acubens had only said to stop the fighting. Logos chose to use her magic against her own court. There was no reason to be angry with Miss Acubens for something Logos did.
But she would deal with that another time.
"You heard her, Rana."
Logos turned to address the younger senshi, only to find that she was gone.
"Rana?"
---
Dark Mirror Sailor Rana -- B5
Rana was, in fact, gone, but not far. She followed Hitomi to try and help the poor cat in whatever way she could. Like Acubens, she kept treats in subspace for kitties like Katya. Kitties like the one caught in the tree. Rana hurried over to the senshi who looked so similar to her, shaking the treat bag as she did so.
"Hey! Hey, excuse me! Do you want help with your kitty? I have treats!
