Cybele was fairly out of it and couldn't do more than nod and blink a bit as a people surrounded them and started to chat, but at least they had a plan, and plans were good. Plans helped her think about what she could do instead of watching, wide eyed, as the General-Queen killed four people in less than a second. It was good to think that they had royals, too, and that she could help them, even like this. Anyway, it wasn't like she had much choice- Elpis was being dragged off, and Lacrimosa was following.
She looked over, towards the Princess... who looked, surprisingly, familiar. Ganymede? Ganymede was a Princess? That was new... but it was good, too, that the Princess wasn't just some faceless girl, but someone she trusted.
"I'll help Ganymede," she said, misinterpreting Alsafi's question. Elpis was maybe their group's leader, but that was very temporary. "...and you seem to know at least a bit about 'this fighting thing.' See if you can figure out your magic." There wasn't any time for specific instruction, though. She headed after Lacrimosa, finally meeting her gaze, although she couldn't smile. "I'm coming. Your magic will be helpful, too." After saying that, she broke into a sprint, again, ignoring the pain each step sent through her wounds as she closed the distance between herself and the group around Ganymede. She kept her distance from the General, though. There were people here less hurt than she was who could handle him.

Dallol, Squire of Uranus
Dallol was right beside Corinth when he started towards the army of youma and Negaverse agents. The amount of chaos that had already gathered here, that surrounded and would throw themselves at them until every last Order aura was snuffed out was starting to make her fear for the worst. This was unlike anything that they encountered in the past. Even if they tried to avoid the powerhouses that took the form of huge golem-like youmas or a rampaging General-Queen, there wasn't going to be any end in sight so long as they remained in this cesspool.
Swinging her weapon at the youmas that suddenly descended upon them, she aimed a kick at some of those that got in a little too close. "Any bright ideas as to how we ought to go about this?"

General Witchite, Nega Disposable
"Come now! No need to bother the pretty lady." Witchite smirked as she pulled her blades back from his parry. "Why not forget about her for now?" The General laughed, she was giggling as she felt the movement slightly to her side of his weapon.
In a split second, she vanished out of the path to reappear behind him, striking out not with the blade but the hilt of her weapon into his spin. "Too slow cutie. Try again?"
She was laughing to herself, not paying attention to the rest of the group. They weren't as fun!

Lt. Sylvite- Fighting Grus! ...or something.
Sylvite grinned as she felt her lollipops hit something solid and heard the reaction, but she didn't have too much time to savor that because as she lunged forward, again, something hit her ankles hard and totally knocked her feet out from under her. She was falling before she even knew what was happening and barely managed to catch herself on her hands. One of her lollipops shattered from the impact. The other survived, but was scratched up, dirty, and not looking at all like something you'd want to eat.
She turned to face the Senshi as quickly as she could, still on the ground, frowning even more than she had been a moment ago, and yelled, "You guys are so mean! Like, what even? Why? Like, no!" And she hurled her remaining, now gross, lollipop at the girl's face.
"We're mean?" she shouted back. "You guys are the ones that use people for energy cattle!" Her shout was stopped short as a giant lollipop (seriously, who decides what these guys get?!) came hurtling at her face. She popped her arm up, and outright swore when it made impact.
"Sonofabitch!"
Her whole arm rattled with the hit, and she felt a large lump immediately start to form and bruise on her arm. Two days from now, THAT was gonna hurt.
"So now you don't have a weapon." she said, looking down at the gross candy. "I'm gonna give you a hint on this whole fighting thing. Don't throw away your weapon." She stared down at the girl, who honestly didn't look very old.
Oh god, was she turning into an old senshi?
"Look, I just want to get home. And I really don't want to hurt you. So let's just walk away from each other, and all we'll have to remember the other by are a couple bruises, and not a couple broken bones."

Delphi, Squire of Polaris. With Phact's group - center
Being that she was be in the center as well, and it was her coat, Delphi too the offered rope to tie up her starseed filled coat and slung it over her own shoulder. Havasu was in no shape, as far as she was concerned, to go carrying such weight around. Having been healed up of most of a good deal of her injuries it was best if she took it - so she did.
With it over her should er and herself positioned she was ready for whatever would come. "Lets keep safe, yes?" She asked looking to Havasu. She may not know him well, she didn't know many here very well, but she did not want to see anyone else hurt in all this fighting. They had to all come out of this well. She was not expecting the words from Nirvana, they were touching an deep...certainly made for an interesting...relationship between Phact, Havasu and Nirvana. She was glad she wasn't so close to those three, she was sure she didn't want to see how that might all end, especially when Phact came over. Stepping away, to give that little group time to 'talk' she could tell the white clad senshi was not in a good mood - flaming mad or livid might be a good description...yes livid worked best she thought. Once Phact was on to other things Delphi moved back into position.
Sailor Cetus, with Phact's group, in back with Kastra.
Nodding his head to Kastra he flashed her a smile. "Of course. I am skilled in martial arts - I'll keep us both safe. I may not however spot everything headed our way." Which is where Kastra would come in, as well as if he found himself overwhelmed in which case her magic would help a lot. "If I need your magic I'll let you know, otherwise conserve it. This is not going to be an easy escape. They don't want to let us out." And they had to get out, anything else was not an option. He would not allow it, it was that simple really.
Looking over the members of their group, knights and senshi of various levels, he watched the red haired page be taken away by someone else and shrugged it off. She had helped in the barracks but was obvious needed elsewhere by someone else - by another group. That was fine, if she was needed, this was not a time to get picky or upset over things. This was a time to make it out alive and in mostly one piece. However that was achieved didn't matter, the ends justified the means at this point.
Gorner, Page of Castor. Being grabbed by her cousin Alcor.
She had been planning on sticking with Phact's group, though unsure of where she fit in with the plans. She had no one else here that she knew, no other group to join, but then she spotted a familiar blue head of hair attached to an equally familiar person. Oh! Her cousins were here, as she knew that if one twin was here the other was as well. "Alcor!" She called out seeing her cousin attacked, even as she was trying to dodge the attack, and ran toward her. Allowing her arm to be grabbed she picked up the pace and started to run with Alcor. "Ele is alright?" She called out over all the noise, she wanted to make sure both of her cousins were alright, knowing they were here and not where they'd been had her worried for the both of them.
Feeling her cousin stumble she was, for a brief moment, tempted to turn and scoop her cousin up and carry her off toward Ele whom she'd spotted. It would hurry their pace abit, perhaps, but keep Alcor from falling and getting hurt. "Come on Alcor, we're almost to Ele." And the other senshi, the eternal she'd met before, and the cat. "We can go home then, after this, and I'll order us all food and you and Ele can spend the night at my place. Athene can also if he wants and the cat. Food, hot showers, and crashing in the living room watching a movie." She said laughing at the thought.
Still carrying the mop he’d brought with him from the barracks, Oberon swung at one of the youma that sprung up to block their way, managing to dust it, but another leapt at him, catching his shoulder and sending him to the ground.
He let out a yelp of surprise and pain, using the broom handle to knock the youma away from him as he scrambled to his feet, but its claws had already sunk into his shoulder, leaving his white shirt turning red from the cuts. Great.
“Perdita,” he called over to her, huffing with exhaustion already. “We’re not going to last unless we get past the officers.” He knew the others would hear him, but since he, she, and Chara were the older of the small (literally) group, he figured she would feel as responsible as they did.
He was glad Tomlin was counting on them to fight and get them out of there, which is exactly what Oberon planned to do, but they were going to have to do more than fight low level youma if they wanted to escape.
There was one Lieutenant that was in their direct path to the portal, and Oberon brandished his mop at him. “You wanna move out of the way? You don’t really want to fight a bunch of kids, do you?” Oberon asked, although he had absolutely no intention of killing anyone. The only reason he didn’t outright avoid this Lieutenant (Bananaite) was because the guy didn’t look all that invested in the fight, either.
Oberon, who stood at a proud 5’8” now (a few inches taller than his brothers were at his age!), made sure to place himself between the Negaverse officer and the other Chibis, Chara, and Tomlin. After all, somehow he was the strongest in their group.
Unfortunately, it seemed as though there was another Lieutenant (Birbite) was close by as well. Hopefully she would want to leave a bunch of kids alone, too. Still, Oberon prepared to fight both of them if he had to. “Last chance to back off…”

Gevaudan, knight of Ganymeade
He stopped and glared back before Gamymeade gave her explaination. "Well if you think it's worth a shot then risk it! Those who believe in it will help. The rest can ******** off and fight. There isn't a book to leadership worth a damn in these situations. You call out and see who stands with you. Point Ina direction and see who believes in you and your ideas enough to follow. If it doesn't work out, then just do your own attack and go kill Laurelite with me."
There was no time to team build right now and help Gamyneade with her confidence and everyone else with their trust. It was do now or forever hold your peace.
The knight materialized his weapon in his hand. "Okay, your not a bladed chain, but you are still a heavy wolf head on a chain. Far as I'm concerned, that means we still have teeth." He said to himself and let the familiarly of years with a weapon come back to him, work his arms, before he moved forward and went to hurl the golden wolf head at Laurelite.
Varuna quickly released her hold on the Earth squire (Falias) when he winced. She’d never seen magic like that before, so of course it startled her. She nodded at his comment, and then promptly stood behind him so as not to catch on fire from being too close to the bull.
When Palatine asked her about her magic, she nodded. She knew what her aunt meant - she was expecting her to help clear the way. Almost reluctantly, she pulled away from where she was hiding behind the Earth squire, and hurried to catch up to where Kairatos was, leading with the flaming bull.
“Snow slip!” she called out, casting her basic magic in the direction of anyone coming up on their flank. Anyone in the way would find a sudden accumulation of snow beneath their feet, only for it to be pushed quickly out from under them! Hopefully that would be enough to keep approaching Negaverse officers away from the bull while it was still plowing a path for them and others.

Sailor Chibi Perdita -- with Chibi Group and Tomlin, facing off against disposables Bananaite and Birbite
The rat-like... thing... youma was not too terribly hard to defeat once Perdita had Chara's help in pinning it down. With a few more whacks of her broom, the youma burst into dust as if it had never been.
But not before dragging its thin claws down her shin, shredding her skin from her knee to about five inches below it.
Perdita hissed in response, pausing only long enough to quickly examine the wound.
“Well, at least I can blame that on the cat,” she said.
She had very little time to worry about it, however. Not only did they have a swarm of youma to contend with, but it seemed Oberon had come upon a couple of agents.
“Closing in on two Lieutenants!” she called to the rest of their group, looking around to make sure Tomlin, Oort, and Ambrosia weren't too far away. They were supposed to be staying together, so it would be best to keep everyone as close as possible. It looked like two more Chibis (Iduna and Cadmus) had joined up with Ambrosia.
Perdita moved to place herself at Oberon's side, motioning for Chara to follow as she eyed the two Lieutenants carefully. She held her broom in a defensive stance. She meant to line up with her two counterparts and form a barrier, with the Guardian Cat and the rest of the Chibis behind them.
“Just so you know, we've taken out more than a handful of you Lieutenants already,” she told Bananaite and Birbite. “Some Captains and two Generals, too.”
She failed to mention that they'd done little more than lock all of those agents into rooms. She was still feeling pretty good about their success on that mission and didn't want that feeling to shatter.
“So you can either move and let us through,” she continued, “or this broom's going to get shoved pretty far up one of your rectums.”
“Alexandria,” Valhalla said in surprise when the Mercury knight snapped at Babylon. “I’m fine, but he was just trying to help. You need to try and breathe. I know it hurt…” he said, trying to calm Alexandria down, while casting Babylon a concerned glance.
That concern only heightened when he revealed that he wanted to get back through the portal to kill Caedus!
“What??” Valhalla sputtered, turning to him in shock. Kill him? Why? What happened that prompted this? What did Babylon know about Caedus that they might not? “Wait, what are you--” but Valhalla didn’t have a chance to find out more from Babylon, and only stared off in shock when a General (Witchite) came up to Babylon to attack him.
Valhalla took the glass shoe a bit reluctantly from Ganymede as she pulled out her crystal. He didn’t want to move too far away from her in case she suddenly became a target, but he couldn’t just stand there. But who could he help? Gevaudan or Babylon?
Thankfully, Babylon seemed to have the General covered, and since Gev was hurt, Valhalla decided to follow him. “Let me distract her for you,” he called to Gev. “I’ve fought her before.”
It was true that he had fought her before, but he’d also lost, and was almost corrupted in the process…
“Laurelite!” he called to her, grasping onto his pocket watch and lifting it to show her. He knew Ganymede would be upset that he was trying to engage her directly, but hopefully it would give her the time she needed to prepare herself for attacking.
"Want another taste of some lightning?" It was a bluff of course, but hopefully it would give Gev enough time to attack before Laurelite realized.

Palatine, Squire of Venus -- with Varuna, Kairatos, Falias, Themiscyra, and Andronicus, heading for a potential break in the ranks
Palatine tried not to take Kairatos's aborted snapping personally. Thankfully, letting it slide right off wasn't a hard concept to master. She had two kids. She was pretty used to unnecessary snapping at this point in her life.
Not that Kairatos was a kid, but... she was still older. Same principle.
“I'm no gold medalist, but I can run fast if fast is what we need,” she said.
She couldn't claim to be the fastest of their group considering she had no idea about any of the others' abilities, but she was no push over, even if she couldn't fight as well as others. She was noticeably fit, at the very least, thanks to frequent trips to the gym and a whole lot of jogging, with a side of tennis when she was feeling competitive.
Whatever they ended up doing, they needed to do it fast.
When Varuna's magic took effect, Palatine surged forward, heading toward what looked like a break in the rank and file. The bull seemed to be sufficiently distracting for some of the agents. At least one seemed to have been thrown by it. Another was attacking the Summon.
And that damned General Queen.
The Squire of Venus did her best not to watch as the General Queen carelessly slaughtered at least four Senshi.
Do not think that it could have been your kid or Varuna, she told herself.
It'd be easier to get through this if she could actually follow through with the thought.

Princess Ganymede
“What the ********, you son of a b***h!”
Ganymede didn't make it a habit of swearing at her husband or calling him any names outside of “Chris,” “Val,” and “Pooh Bear,” but she thought this situation was an appropriate one for it. She watched Valhalla move forward with Gevaudan and then actually call out to Laurelite.
Did he have a death wish? She was really beginning to think he did, considering how many times he put himself in unnecessary danger, both before and after his brush with corruption.
Without anyone there to guide her in the right direction, Ganymede didn't know what to do. She'd done a pretty decent job of it over the course of the evening, but she was fresh out of any new ideas. She was tired, and she'd been happy to rely on Babylon, but he was now engaged with a General. She had no doubt that he would be able to handle it, she just wished the General could have been kind enough to wait until after they'd gotten their plan underway.
Her head swiveled around quickly. Was the Mercury Page (Cordoba) coming back with some help? It looked like it. Ganymede recognized Cybele, at least.
Okay. Okay, that was good. Things were getting done. They just had to continue following along with Babylon's plan.
“Alexandria, and you,” she said suddenly, glancing at her friend and Harmonia. She'd called a lot of people “you” that night. She really needed to get out of that habit. “I'm sorry, if I ever knew your name, I don't remember it. We need to find any Transcended Senshi or Knights. The ones that glow. Have you seen any?”
As far as Ganymede knew, she and Babylon were the only ones present. She thought she'd seen Maia earlier, but she couldn't seem to pick the red head out of the crowd now. Ida still seemed to be missing, so that cut another one out of their number. She hadn't seen Penthesilea, Hyperborea, Megrez, or Celsus at all. Who did that leave? Those were the only ones she knew.
“If you can't find any...” she really wanted to say “we're screwed,” because she didn't know how this was supposed to work otherwise, but she didn't want to cause the Super Senshi any undue stress. “God, I'm not good at this at all. Find Knights and Eternals like Babylon said. I'm pretty sure Kairatos is here. Chaldene and Sessrumnir are, too. s**t, I'm sorry, I don't even know if you know who they are. Alexandria should. Stay with him. Unfortunately, I don't feel a lot of Knight or Eternal auras. Where the hell are all our strong fighters?”
Had they not come through the portal? Were they not aware?
God, what the hell was she supposed to do?
“I have to stop Val before he gets himself killed,” Ganymede said. “Stay with Babylon if you need to. Don't feel like you have to do anything on your own. There are more Senshi coming.”
She felt guilty for it, dumping so much on a poor Super Senshi only to turn away from her, but Alexandria was with her and Ganymede was sure Babylon had it covered, and, like she'd said, more help was on the way.
So she ran after Valhalla and Gevaudan, crystal still at the ready.
“HEY!” she shouted at Laurelite. “Remember me?”

Sailor Cassiopeia, Senshi of Wonder
Cassiopeia frowned a bit as Enif spoke. Not upset, not disappointed--but trying to understand what exactly the girl had to work with. And, by extension, how they could best mesh their magics to get themselves out of there. "Buff? What sort? Agility? Strength? Magical power boost..?" They didn't get much of a chance to talk further on the rather important topic.
A blur of black and red, and she uttered a strangled scream as Enif was hit--thankfully though, she didn't go down, and it wasn't someone with like... a blade, by the looks of things. Fear merged with anger at the agent, bubbling up further when Enif told her to run. Or at least that's how it sounded to Cassiopeia. Making sure Pye was still safe on her shoulders, she tried to move somewhat out of the range of the agent... while keeping the agent (Wolfeite) in hers. With one hand still free, she positioned her two hands in a way that she could still hold the fabric that kept the starseeds tied up in her uniform, and cast her magic. Awkwardly. "Yeah no. ******** all of this. Shimmering Awe!" She managed to form the shifting orb between her hands, letting it lift into the air and hoping to hell she was still in range. Now she just... seriously hoped Enif knew how to throw a punch....

Magic: Calling the name of her attack, Cassiopeia focuses her magic between her hands. An orb 12 inches in diameter forms, floating in the air between her hands before rising into the air about two feet in the air above her, 7 feet into the air from the ground. The orb's contents is constantly shifting, looking one moment like a fairy light hovering in the air, to a galaxy, to mystifying alien worlds. Any Chaos agents standing in a range of 12 feet diameter who view the orb would find themselves transfixed by the sights. Though they would be able to look back and focus on the fight at hand, Chaos agents might keep finding their attention wavering back to the orb and its mystical sights. The orb itself only remains for 30 seconds before it vanishes, and Cassiopeia must recharge her magic for 60 seconds before she can use her magic again. She can only use it three times per day.

Themiscyra, Squire of Mars
Beating the s**t out of people with her chain? Yep, she could do that. To the topic of who the hell was the fastest around them... she looked to Andronicus when Kairiatos caught Themiscyra's eye. "Can you still do your super speed? Race the Code out of here..?" Unless Andronicus already used that up for the... whatever the limit was.
The moment they started to move though... it was hell to keep her eyes forward. It was hell to ignore how that ******** General Queen was slaughtering their allies. Tried to keep her mind on the present. Or hell. The future Andronicus got snagged in her brain. That just required them all to get out of there, Code in tact, everyone at least mostly in tact (look she wasn't looking for a victory on a silver platter, she just wanted people alive and at least in majority one piece).
Themiscyra swung her weighted chain into a youma that had gotten far too close, slamming the crystal into its jaw and watching with immense amusement as it got caught up in the Super Senshi's (Varuna) magic. "...I really like your magic by the way." That was really ******** useful. Not that she lingered long to admire the effect of the snow, instead she picked up the pace and tried to help Palatine through the break, trying to utilize her own size and weapon to their advantage.

Seraphinite, Lieutenant
Seraphinite gave Aquamarine a hell of a deadpan look when he asked is that a ******** cat?"No, it's an animatronic," he grumbled, hands somewhat splayed out--best he could at the moment--in a the ******** do you think? gesture before he glared a bit at the guardian in question, as Lace wriggled out of his jacket and onto the ground.
"Lace, y'ain't even the size a ******** football," he huffed--a surprisingly gentle tone considering the circumstances. She was saying she'd protect them? She could fit in his boot.
Sure she said she had magic, but with a General Queen dead, and another currently cutting down Order's forces... He was a bit more concerned with making sure one of the bastards didn't try to skin her or even step on her.
Aquamarine's shout to their injured comrade made him grunt and move over towards Jet. "You do realize we could cut his ********' arm off and he'd still not let anyone use one of his knives, right?" He considered pointing out he could do more damage with his fists than Jet currently could with his bum arm, but decided against it when he heard the General Queen's orders. Aquamarine's groaning about not wanting to die there made him snort. "Just let me take the hits then, and you two can take the kill shots, how's that?" His weapons were bullshit. Plan worked way better in his opinion.
Attempting to take stock of the situation at hand was damn near impossible with so much going on around them, but still the general tried. There was a long assessing pause, a moment where it was obvious silver eyes were making a sweep of the battlefield, and then they were snapping into deadly focus as a voice called out too near, and a glove clad hand snapped up to point directly at the lieutenant standing at her side. An attack, though she didn't know, yet, what it did. Not that that mattered.
"Bad choice," she called clearly back at the senshi(Myrrha), her lip curling as smooth metal flashed into being on either arm, spikes circling her knuckles. Her immediate response, the one that was now hardwired into her being after everything that'd happened in the last little while, was to throw herself between the two and snap the senshi's neck. It was a tempting thing, and one she seemed to have settled on as she took a couple of purposeful strides in the senshi's direction, but something seemed to have drawn her attention just past the senshi's shoulder.
Xenotime stopped, chin tilting minutely to the side as she watched a pair of figures moving swiftly down the hill towards the battle, and turned with pursed lips to the lieutenant a second after. "Prove to me that you're one of mine." It was a low purr, accompanied by the brush of cool fingers at Marcesite's elbow as she backed away, out of the line of fire, to allow her new ward to attack.
She would be watching, of course, but there was another that needed her attention as well. A blink, and she had disappeared. Just long enough to meet Orchre and her new friend on the hill, to lay a hand on either of their arms, then they were all back where she'd just left from. "Are you hurt?" Worn, at the very least, but beyond that it was hard to tell. Touching his cheek, the general pulled an energy sphere from her pouch, offering it up to his lips for a kick boost.
Soft touch lingering, she turned her attention to the other lieutenant, a brow arched curiously as she looked him over. "You are?"
