The computer's fan whirred to life, clicked, and the hard drive sputtered out a series of grinding clicks. The hard drive LED blared a solid red before fading to a flicker, and finally an error popped up on screen: COMMAND NOT RECOGNIZED
Umber still felt jarred from the electrical event; he rubbed his ears gingerly while Cinnabar belted orders and engaged the princess with unwarranted taunts. It's like goading a bear. With enough force, it won't matter what kind of strategy you have. The bear can tear through you just the same. Don't get reckless, Cinnabar. Except by virtue of taking on a princess, she already proved lost to overconfidence. Her feline companion wouldn't hold much merit in a straight fight like that.
Umber retreated further indoors to start on his message, and overheard Jet's comment to Aurostibite. "Don't worry about trying to get them out - there's captains on board to teleport in groups. If they're not finished, and we stop the trains... What do you think Order will do to them?" A quick glance outside confirmed Cinnabar holding Valhalla's starseed hostage - she would buy time, but no great lengths of it. "Maybe you can... Lock up the controls? Order may want to stop the trains for themselves." Especially if they had loved ones aboard.
Finally he summoned his crystal to hand, and issued order across the Negaverse presence. "Negaverse agents, please reroute your positions to defend the transit office. I repeat, reroute your positions to defend the transit office." The princesses broadcast themselves well enough - anyone present knew the odds of their success. Currently this situation stood as a severe disadvantage to the Negaverse, and the office area soon became its own sieging ground.
A flicker in his peripherals caught his attention, but when Umber searched the corner of the office, he found nothing more than the continually changing reflection of blaring computer screens. Strange; he thought he saw someone there...

"s**t..." Isaiah cussed under his breath as he looked beyond the pillar. Already the fight escalated to biblical proportions, with the winged woman frozen in place as Cinnabar struck a hand through someone's chest. It looked undeniably painful - something he hoped he never experienced - but he found it most disconcerting that this man was still alive. Luckily, no one noticed him at his location; most of the involved preferred to tangle with each other over harassing the frantic civilians or hunting him down from his crouched position.
Carefully Isaiah drew his cell phone and started tapping out a message to the first contact that came to mind - one who suffered equally with the burden of Saturn and its constituent morose wonders.

SMS Lorne Benoit:
Wherever you are, don't visit the subway. Went to complete s**t. Terrorists everywhere. Trapped.
Pressing send, he breathed a sigh to calm his frantic heart. Isaiah, as a particularly bony man, was not built for such excitement. He often wondered if his heart would give out in instances like these, and while he suffered his share of scares, nothing quite compared to this unbelievable shithouse. <******** it. I need a cigarette.
Wary of lighting up and giving himself away, Isaiah opted for the eCig in pocket. It worked well enough for chasing away nicotine shakes and the wholly consuming notion that he may die imminently - even completely unaware of it.
Sadachbia wanted to say that she would never misjudge a General's strength again as she flew through the air, but she knew that she would anyway, so there was no point in regretting getting up in the General's business. She landed in the thick of the crowd, sprawling out in a most ungainly fashion. People of all sorts brushed against her and stepped on her in the panic, which did not help her attempts to regain her bearings at all. With some extra marks on her from all the people stepping on her, she eventually pulled herself to her feet and got a good look at what was going on now. Much to her relief, the General had released the other senshi, and he seemed to be gearing up for some sort of attack. This time she called her attack out a bit more quietly, but she still charged towards the General with bricks in hand. What was the point of stealth when someone could just sense you coming anyway?
Quote:
Sailor Scout Attack: Sadachbian Building Blocks!
Raising her hands up like she's carrying something, Sadachbia calls out the attack name and summons two standard-sized bricks that drop into her hands. These bricks can be thrown at the enemy, though they're a bit lighter than normal bricks and so they won't really break anything if they hit someone (though it'll probably still hurt). The bricks crumble to dust upon contact with a target or the ground. Sadachbia cannot summon more bricks until she has used her current two or their time limit has expired (if not used, they'll disappear after 20 seconds). This attack can be used 3 times per battle for a total of 6 bricks.

Caramel had already determined that doing her best to back up those by the transit office would be where here efforts would be most useful. however the voice that crackled to life over her crystal just served to confirm it.
Which is why it was probably just as well that she had made her way over, even if she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do against the winged woman, with the aura that was so strong and so disgustingly Order than it in turns both repulsed and gave her the invisible hives.
There was a red curly-haired eternal close to the blonde-haired winged woman and a man garbed in a part-armoured outfit complete with a cloak and some sort of winged head thing, however the black-haired horned General - Cinnabar she recalled as her mind supplied her with a name, because whilst the General was not one she was personally familiar with, she vaguely recalled her name coming up in training - the red-eyed woman one who had apparently decided to flaunt the rules and tame herself a youma as a lieutenant only to end up merging with it instead.
Either way she seemed to have things whilst not under control, then at least at a stalemate as she had her hand in the wing head thing man's chest.
She edged closer, daisy chain held in her left hand, noting that the space invaders, White Moon, outnumbered the Negaverse auras in this particular corner - even adding on her own aura.
There was a.. What looked to be a cat by the General too as well as a Captain by the feel of it.
She waited, for a moment looking for an opportunity and wishing that she'd managed to come up with that plan because compared to the others she was seriously outranked aura-wise...
But orders were orders and perhaps if she tried to throw her stupid joke in the weapon then it would at least catch one of the White Mooners off guard enough to give a chance to close in and use her fists.

Quoting outside office door negas for acknowledgement of Umber's orders, apologies if I've missed someone
Aquamarine couldn't say he particularly cared to get himself involved in the battle. It wasn't his favorite way to pass the time, by any means, especially when one considered he was in the Negaverse only because he'd been in the wrong place at the wrong time. He had little interest in these petty squabbles. He cared only about advancing further up the ranks.
He threw off his disguise as soon as it no longer seemed pertinent to wear it, but failed to engage any of the enemy. They had a sufficient number of officers dealing with the issue, it would seem. Aquamarine was more interested in saving his own skin. He didn't even take the time to snatch a starseed or two, easy as it would have been to retrieve one from any of the stampeding civilians.
If fighting failed to interest him, starseed pulling was on the same level. Aquamarine didn't fancy himself a killer. He didn't have much of a stomach for it.
Probably why Jet had been promoted before him.
Even so, an order was an order. The call came to give their attention to the altercation occurring outside the transit office. At any other time, Aquamarine might have found some sort of an excuse not to get himself involved given that he could feel the overwhelming aura of a Princess coming from that direction, but Jet, as far as he was aware, was still over there.
“I'm going to make sure Jet doesn't get himself killed,” he announced to Seraphinite. “You're welcome to come along if you want.”
With that, Aquamarine finally left the bench he'd reserved for himself since descending upon the platform, summoning his toy sword and hoisting it up over his shoulder as he began making his way to the transit office.

Chocolate as an attack? Was nothing sacred to these bastards? Xenotime jerked as the first hit her, rounding on the senshi still on the ground as he throw another, and another. Irritating little stings that didn't do much damage, but were really damn annoying. Her lip curled, fingers flexing at her sides, before she took one quick step towards him , smacking his upraised hand to the side, and aimed a vicious kick for his snooty little face.
There came that satisfied pang and ache of a well connecting blow. It would have been beautiful if it'd come with the the magical sound of snapping vertebrae, but the kid was apparently sturdier than she'd given him credit for.
What ever damage she did cause she wouldn't get to see. The girl she'd thrown through the crowd was already on er feet again and charging, more bricks in hand. "Don't you everlearn?" Xe sank into into a ready crouch, hands up in loose fists, and as Sadachbia grew near her right drifted back at a sharp angle.
And then Umber's voice cut through their communicators, and the general was gone. Just like that. The bandaged senshi was left charging at air, as Xenotime answered the call for assistance.
She appeared in the doorway facing out, the back of her right hand rubbing at the rough scratch the first brick had left on her cheek, but otherwise unscathed. "Everyone alright in here?" A glance over her shoulder showed Everyone inside still seemed untouched. Good. Pale eyes lingered briefly on Umber, before her attention snapped forward again, landing on Cinnabar where she held the knight captive, then jumping to the princess with the golden curls. There were a few others present. A lieutenant she'd not met before, a red headed eternal, but silver eyes were all for the princess.

Here's lookin at you kid
TLbiggrinR
Xenotime is in the Office doorway, making eyes at Ganymede.
Fangs bared as Cinnabar slid her hand deeper, reaching with clawed fingers to curl around the crystal shape of his starseed.
“Lying? Hardly. I don’t make idle threats.” Her grip on him tightened, both around his throat and around his soul. His hands dug at her arm, but her coat was thick and her grip tight. It was going to take more than that if he wanted to break free. “Your little girl would have to catch me if she wanted revenge and I promise I’m faster than she is.”
“What matters here…” She said as she lifted her voice, throwing it at the Princess. “Is if she’s willing to sacrifice you or not? All I want is you, away from the door, Sweetcheeks. Away from my people. Not so hard, hmm? I highly doubt the General-Queen cares as much as you seem to think, because I’ve heard nothing about orders not to kill a certain Jupiter knight.”
At least her little move seemed to have arrested the fighting, drawing all eyes to her and her captive. It wasn’t ideal and she had no plans to get herself killed, but she had more stamina and endurance than many of the lower ranked officers. If someone had to take a hit, it should be the one who could take it. A flicker behind the Princess and another General had joined them, wearing a familiar green and black. Cinnabar smiled then, shifting her grip a little.
“Mmm… maybe we’ll make this a little more interesting, hmm? Here! Have him back!” The Half-youma abruptly released her grip from his throat and pulled her arm back, planting her palm in between his shoulder blades to give him a hard shove forwards and out of her hold. Valhalla was freed, but her hand never released it’s grip. As he fell away from her, a glow lit her fingers from inside and she danced backwards in her prize.
“Does this show how ******** serious I am, Blondie?” She laughed as she opened her hand, starseed glowing on her palm as she brandished it. Something about it seemed off and she spared it a glance, her eyebrows drawn together. “Aw, look… its already broken. We had better be extra careful with it, it looks super fragile. Wouldn’t want to accidentally shatter it, would we?”

"I can't feel my face when I'm with you," he sang as he pissed in the corner of the platform. His headphones were blaring The Weeknd hit, and he was far too concentrated on taking a leak to notice any of the chaos that was going on behind him. It wasn't until his junk was shaken dry, put away and zipped up that he turned around and saw the giant ******** that had been occurring behind him.
"Aw, ********," he groaned. He really had been trying to avoid this kind of s**t, and had done a good job at doing so for a long time now. The situation looked dire, and the vast majority of him still wanted to split and run, but he had a feeling that being alone and a civilian would only land him into trouble. The better solution would be just to power up and pretend he was a part of this the whole time.
So that's exactly what the blue-haired a*****e did. Powering up to Corrupted Super Sailor Typhon of Hurricanes, the dark Senshi leapt into the fray without a moment's hesitation. Instantly, he spotted a familiar purple haired figure, Xenotime, and gave her a friendly middle finger before looking for a Senshi's face to beat into a pulp.
As he barreled past the knight, he hissed, growling a bit as he cursed. He let his momentum carry him forward, and he felt the sting of her shawl against his back. He was thankful then, for having both a coat and a jacket - the fabric absorbed most of the impact he wouldn't even have to worry about a welt. Growling, he let his momentum carry him a few steps more before he slid slowly to a stop, turned, and watched her for a moment.
This would require a bit more thought. He probably had telegraphed his intentions too much. He needed to try and get in closer before he tried that again. So he moved forward now. Committing himself to the fight. If he was needed elsewhere he was sure the call would go out and he'd retreat. But for now this fight had his attention.
As soon as he was within range he snapped a few quick kicks at the knight, mostly toward her hip and midsection. Hard, fast, snap kicks. He was poking now, probing for her weak points.
Just give him an opening...

Pyro had taking advantage of the confusion, and when people started running, he'd trip a couple, pulling starseeds out of the ones that fell down. His pocket was jingling with a good amount of starseeds.
And then he was running into one of those senshi girls.
"Oi b***h, out of the way!" This was directed at the beaded senshi helping some older person.
---
Verona's lieutenant went limp in her arms as Juno knocked him out and then she laughed.
"I'll punch whoever you want, but I really just like watching you too." She dumped the brat and then moved on.
Jarosite grinned for a split second, until two Princess level power signatures flared bright on his radar and he cursed. The General snarled, pulling his hand free of Cor's chest sans his starseed and slamming his elbow into the senshi's nose. The intent was to knock him down, get the Transcendant to think he was out cold, and then ideally have Megrez go insane, do something stupid, and get a sword through her chest. That was the idea, anyway. Given how senshi worked, Jarosite highly doubted it would work.
"Next time I see you, that starseed is mine, boy," he snarled, turning on his heel to take Megrez's tackle full on. He braced himself, stumbling backwards, and tried to throw her to the side.
"You had to call my bluff. You couldn't just back off and go about your business. Wonder how much you'd like his death on your pretty little head," he said to Megrez, eyes hard. He recognized her, but from a future when the Negaverse one. She'd been a pain in the a** then, and seemed to be one now. Lovely.

exclaimWARNING: Sailor Typhon is causing hurricane force winds around the platform that may blow your character back, and knock them off the platform! Please feel free to interact with the hurricane or deal with collateral damage! Your character may also be soaked from the surge!exclaim
There was so much chaos on the platform around him that Typhon couldn't help but sense an opportunity to cause some real havoc. And hey, if he wasn't causing trouble, then what was he good for?
With a dastardly grin, the blue-haired b*****d shouted out, "Typhon Cyclone Power Up!"
As a strong hurricane with category two force winds formed around him, the young corrupted Senshi charged forward into the fray so that the winds can blow his opponents - and, unfortunately, some friendly fire with allies - off the platform, and hopefully onto the tracks as trains approach.
Quote:
How it Works. Typhon raises up his arms and gives this shout, summoning a small hurricane to formulate around his body. The hurricane is a strong windstorm spiraling around him. The strong force of the winds – at 100 mph, Category 2 hurricane strength – are able to knock back an opponent, tossing them a few feet away. It acts as a buffer around Typhon. This can cause havoc to his surroundings, as anything he is close to also would be impacted by the strong winds. In addition to the strong winds, when the power is first activate there is a surge of water that stretches out an additional three feet (total of nine foot radius). Anything in range would be soaked and while the initial splash may knock down foes, it otherwise does not deal direct damage to his opponent.
Though he'd donned his jacket quickly enough, dropping the disguise without issue as he tossed away the bag he'd... actually stolen in the first place, ha. The belt was back in place along with his wooden swords, but Seraphinite didn't moved away from Aquamarine.
If anything, he looked about as annoyed as the blond when it came to how quickly the fighting broke out. And here he'd pretty much had money on Jet being the cause of any fights...
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming," he growled--more to the situation than to Aquamarine himself, if the other boy cared--drawing out his makeshift weapons as he trotted along to catch up to the... er. His... partner..? Yeah he wasn't even sure if he'd go that far, but Seraphinite did have a loyalty to Aquamarine. If only to make sure both he and Jet didn't get killed. Thinking of something, he gave a snort close to a laugh. "Higher rank and still probably needs us to save his a**."
Least Jet got actual metal. Seraphinite glanced at the wood of the two play swords and wrinkled his nose. He didn't care a lot about the Negaverse itself, but damn was he anxious to get legit weapons... however he could.
As he followed his companion however, Seraphinite let out a string of curses that were damn near swallowed by the winds that something whipped up. he snarled, trying to duck away from the debris the strong winds were knocking up. Though he wasn't close enough to get knocked to his feet, he didn't exactly approve as a random shoe--a rather disgusting looking one at that--managed to come around and smack him in the back. He tried to keep close to Aquamarine, if only to try and make sure the other guy didn't get slammed in the head or something.

Delphi had kept close to the princess, even though she did want to get to doing things, as she really was nervous to get into all the chaos going on. It was just some big thing and she had really no idea where to start or what to do. Even for her organized mind it was a lot to take in and hard to deal with. Giving the princess at her side a look she was broken away from whatever she'd have said when she heard some words being shouted right before she found her uniform being soaked through with water and weighed down.
It wasn't just that though it was the wind which came and had her reaching out at the last moment and taking hold of the winged princess at her side. "Hold on!" Calling out to Polaris over the noise going on around them. As the winds, and the corrupted senshi who was the cause of it, came by them and the winds hit - hard.

(Haven't been paying attnetion/reading everything elkse going on hence Delphi staying with Polaris. But yeah, responding to this. I'm leaving how the winds hit them/toss them up to you. ::Nods::
Megrez was aware of the Royal signatures flaring up around her. The shouting Princess was not one that Megrez recognized, but the other one... She thought she had seen Ganymede somewhere in the crowd, so maybe it was her? Either way, she didn't really get to enjoy the feeling that the group was in good hands, for the General had sent Cor Caroli sprawling with his impact. The Basic aura didn't flicker out, which meant that his starseed was still in his chest. While that was all well and good, the General was still more than ready to skewer someone or go for a different starseed if he was left at large. Though the attempt to throw her did divert her a bit, it only gave her time to reappraise the situation. She mumbled a quick "Ostrich Egg Toss," caught the large egg when it poofed into existence, then charged at the General once again. She was going to try and smash the big, hard egg right in his face or over his head, maybe knock him out with the bulk of the egg. A thought briefly flashed through her head: did she know this guy from somewhere? There wasn't time to think it over, only time to give him egg on his face.
Cor Caroli, meanwhile, was recovering from the stars dancing in front of his eyes. Was his nose broken? No? Probably not, but it was probably going to bleed. He looked to the side and spotted two other basic senshi. Maybe he could crawl to them and get safety in numbers. Slowly, carefully (very much slowly and carefully, given the major winds that had suddenly kicked up), he crawled his way over to Sadachbia and Chara, becoming keenly aware of his heart pounding in his chest. That sensation of "feeling" his soul had dispersed, but it echoed in his memories. He would not forget what had happened any time soon.
Quote:
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Ostrich Egg Toss!
Cupping both hands to catch it, Megrez manifests an ostrich egg. This egg can be thrown at the enemy. Ostrich eggs can be up to five pounds and they are significantly bigger than chicken eggs, so this egg might actually hurt if thrown at someone. The goop and residue from this egg lingers for 30 seconds before disappearing. Can be used three times.

Sadachbia did indeed tackle nothing as the General warped away. She skidded to a halt and yelled, "Where the hell did she go?!" She looked and she looked, but didn't see the General anywhere. As the winds picked up, she began to slip further. "What the hell?! Who's doing that?!" Trying her hardest, she stepped towards Chara. "Are you okay? Oh, s**t, we've got another one down!" The latter comment was directed to Cor Caroli, who was struggling to make his way his way towards the duo.
