[ Andronicus - 46 HP - 3 = 43 HP, Vents are not her friend ]
Andronicus shouted explicatives as the vent took her by surprised. She stumbled, half lifted off the ground, and staggered through the rest of them to the end. "I AM SO DONE WITH THIS. DO YOU HEAR ME NEGAVERSE. I AM SO DONE."
Brandishing her mace she ran on, ignoring the knights entirely. She didn't even notice Metis. Whoops.
[ Bifrost - 42 HP - 1 = 41 HP, NOT OKAY ]
Bifrost should have seen it coming. The blue knight Uranus with the mouth of a sailor got hit by it. She'd be fine if she timed it right, right? Right? Surely it wasn't that hard.
No, it was that hard.
The girl shrieked and half sprinted through the rest until she tripped and spilled out into the area. She slid on the ground until she came to a stop near to a very particular, and very familiar knight.
"Celsius!" she said happily, looking at him half upside down. She glanced at the senshi trying to free him. "Do you need help?"

Themiscyra's HP: 44
Well, so much for her warning for him. At least the Squire had given her the Knight's name, though it made her... brain itch? That wasn't the phrasing she wanted, but she could have sworn she knew that name. Perhaps from Val, she decided, and left it at that. Though her pride made her keep her trap shut when he asked if she was ok, when he bit out about burning the place down... she actually paused and smiled to him. "I'll bring the gasoline, you grab the lighters? Sooner we get Val, Kairatos, Hver, and whoever else is here... I'll be fine. Till then?" Her eyes were cold and she shrugged and kept moving forward.
Till then, she'd be on pins and needles and nothing was going to solve this.
Further down the hall, it still looked... ordinary enough, but clearly that was the worst thing to assume. Ever. She checked the floor as she approached, but didn't see any vents. "Coast looks clear here," she mumbled back to him... before halting as soon as part of the ceiling dropped down. She ducked on reflex, but.... Themiscyra gave a snort as she still kept her head somewhat ducked, but grinned to her companion. "I think you'll be fine in this one," she teased, before tossing over her shoulder, "I'm Themiscyra, by the way. Not sure if we've had the proper introduction." She was certain she'd seen him before at some of the knight meetings, but beyond that? She wasn't positive.
As she reached the end of where the ceiling tiles dropped, she straightened and.... cursed. "Negaverse. We've got company." She didn't look all that upset about it though. If anything, the Martian was pleased.
Alexandria grinned. "Says the Mars page... You want the Mercury Squire to bring the matches?" He almost teased. "I'll do you one better. I'll bring a flamethrower. One for each of us." He would have laughed at his words if he were anywhere else right now.
"You know, I get it's a fun house... but they could have been a little more creative with their traps... These seem a bit weak." He ignored the traps before hand which he had gotten caught on each time. "Oh ha ha. Don't think I didn't hear that noise." He snickered. "Alexandria. I won't say anything on said 'noise' if you promise to keep quite that I tripped over my own shoes back there."
The Mercury knight sighed. "Of course we do... Which do you want? Or should we just run at them... Sess should be close behind." He hoped. "We could hold out till he tanks his way up here."

The lieutenant jumped at the voice in the hallway and backed away a little. This one felt strong too, like all the other's thus far. He felt he was likely to be pummeled. When the other seemed like she didnt want to fight he wasn't sure he really wanted to believe her. Either way he couldnt let her pass.
"I can't let you go by. If I do I will be in more trouble. I stop you and at least they don't kill me ... otherwise I die."
He clenched his little water bottle and got ready to fight. Even though he was shaking and wishing he never agreed to any of this. He killed that girl, and they found him. He was lucky to be alive. He just didn't want to die.
"I'm dead do you hear me ... dead," he called out feeling frantic. At this rate he would work himself into a panic before he could do much of anything.
DivineSaturn
Not sure if its clear ... this is the same Lt from clue 3 ... that pointed the way
She trudged forward without hesitation. She could sense them. Negaverse agents, and Order. One was purer than the other, much like Ganymede's had been, and her chest burned with a new pressure building. Kill the Transcendeds, they're of no use to us, she remembered some of the General Sovereigns used to say. It was why she and Hver had to abandon Tanais and Kairatos. Why they'd been left to be captured-- "Deal. You're walking like you were born for those shoes," she shot back with a smirk, making sure to put an extra swish in her hips as she walked on heels of her own. The joking movements only lasted so long though. They didn't have time to enjoy fun and games... yet. There'd be plenty of time for laughter later, when they got everyone out. Still... he'd had a point. "You'd think this place would have been more fortified if they'd kept their prisoners here. More agents, more youma, deadlier weapons... unless they underestimated anyone getting them that badly." From a tactical standpoint, none of it made sense, but she wasn't about to complain.
It didn't take long for her to spot the agent up ahead, her arm darting out to block Alexandria from going any further. ********. Arrows. Her brain swam, trying to think of what to do. "...there's not just one signature ahead. That guy's got arrows." She glanced at the Squire and gave a fake, bright smile. Time for the mask. "Find Val. I'll distract the guy for now, but we can't risk any of his arrows getting too close to anyone they've captured. If Ganymede is any indication..." Her throat closed on the words and her mouth clicked shut. If Sess was on his way, he was a Knight. He'd be able to help out against whomever and they'd have a damn good edge.
She patted Alexandria quick on the shoulder. "But if you've got magic that works long range, feel free to use it on that guy, or save it if you meet anyone else." And that was her departing words.
Just like that, the Page dashed forward, pausing only to wrench off some of the rusted metal of... well, what looked to have once been part of a clown's face on the wall. Old paint still stuck to the surface here and there, but she wasn't looking for anything sturdy or magnificent. Just something that was flat enough and light enough to serve her purpose. Once she figured she was well enough in range, she let the piece of metal fly, and... was actually pretty impressed by how well it flew. "I'm getting pretty ******** sick of you Negaverse bastards," she hollered, trying to make as much noise as possible to keep his attention on her.
Really, she was going to need to have a long as ******** talk with the Code.

Alexandria sighed, drinking in the feeling of the signatures. "He's the weaker of the two.. I know it. I don't recognize the other one." He murmured quietly as he followed her. "I hate these shoes. I want my other ones back.... Though I suppose I can put the metal heel to good use now." Then he fell silent, his face betraying his concern. "....We could be paving the way into an ambush Themiscyra." His voice quieter then it had been before. If that was the case... well, he'd try to take out as many as he could.
He snorted. "I have two younger sisters. Don't think for a second I fell for that masking trick. But we can pretend I bought it anyway. Be careful." He urged, his grip on his sword hilt tightening. All of a sudden there was another voice, and Alex turned to find a Uranus Squire running at them. "...Friend of yours?" He asked.
He tore his gaze away from the approaching Squire and turned back to Themi. "If she knows you, then I'ma take off and find Valhalla. I'll try to buy everyone some time to catch up." He grinned. "Show them what it means to play with fire." Get it? Cause she was a Mars page. He was being funny.
NOT THE TIME ALEXANDRIA.
Themi rushed forward and Alexandria was quick on her heels. "Don't die." He yelled at Themi as he took a swing at the General with his sword before dashing off down the path to find Valhalla.

HP: 49/50
Once she looked at him more closely, Irene realized that she'd met this particular Lieutenant before. It was his words that had led them to this house of horrors in the first place. No wonder he was so scared- he knew he was living on borrowed time. She would never forget what had happened to the last agent who appeared to be anything other than totally obedient.
Even bearing that in mind, she knew that fighting him would solve nothing. She couldn't harm him. She couldn't let him kill her. All she could do was step forward in what she hoped was a confident manner. ********* confirmation that Helicon was there pushed her forward, and she stood tall, trying to really sell what she needed to say. "I'm grateful to you for your help thus far, but I can't let you stop me from reaching my friend. If you let me pass, I promise I will do everything in my power to help you. If not, I will find my way regardless, and you will have to face them alone."
It sounded heartless to her ears, and she was the one who was saying it. But it was more of a chance than anyone else would give him, and more honesty than he was getting from the Negaverse. Now if only he would see that.
[ Andronicus - 43 HP - Andro is so done right now ]
"Nope, I see you trap and I evade you like a gust of wind because I am so sick of this s**t," growled Andronicus as she ran right over the tiles. They shifted under her feet and dropped but there was nothing stopping her from her prize. Her prize happened to be one black haired and very tall Mars knight, a Jupiter Knight, a glowing senshi, and Mercury knight. She did fancy foot work, landing on the other side and kept running.
"Oi Themiscyra!" she shouted as she came up on them, only to skid to a stop at seeing the general. The woman grinned like a mad man and swung her mace around once. "You know, we really need to stop meeting like this with Negaverse around. They might get the wrong idea."
She made her will save to not slap Themi on the a**. Barely, but she did.

Thraen heard the warble of words from some unseen communication device. He couldn't make it out over the sudden shrieking of the still chained senshi(pisces). He pushed for space and closed with the general in spite of the gash opened across his chest. White blouse stained red in rapid answer. It has to be a retreat. Even if they are releasing some new weapon in our midst, they'd pull out operatives first. There's a chance- worth the shot-
He had no idea how Negaverse teleportation worked. Senshi had to hold each other. Did it work unwilling? He'd find out. Thraen lunged for the man's throat, hoping hold enough to teleport as well.
Might end up in a surround of other agents. Be ready.
Tackling General Two to hitch a ride.
-------- -------- -------- --------
Smooshiness. SMOOSHINESS EVERYWHERE. Other than the scents of sweat and blood, there were sweet scents like flowers and fresh ones like ocean wind. And a whole lot of sudden extra weight with two fine bodies suddenly crashing down. Sandrine flailed at the bottom, handsing places that probably weren't proper on the really buxom babe- OR was it the smaller drink sweetness?
Either or, Sandrine squirreled and strained to get free and clear before Swords McHappy skewered them all in a three-for-one kebab special. A clear gesture accompanied finally getting on foot again to face the Generak, "Suck it!"
Ida's eyes widened as the General grabbed up Chariklo and bodily threw the woman, her first instinct concern for her. That, however, was quickly replaced with concern for herself, because the direction of the throw was directly at her and the senshi she was trying to cover.
Ida squeaked as the dark mirror eternal crashed into her, knocking her backwards and off her feet... and right down on top of that poor basic girl. Pain from the collision flashed through her and the squirming about from below was not helpful, hands shoving and groping about in what was obviously not an intentional way.
Once the basic was out, Ida squirmed to get out from under Chariklo, hands gripping her shoulders for stability.
"God, Chari, are you okay?" A glance up showed the Generals retreating, giving her a rush of relief. This was a reprieve, but there was no telling how long it would last. "We have to get the senshi out before someone else shows up... I don't feel like becoming a pincushion again."
Shoving up onto her feet, Ida reached for the stranger's shoulder, her touch light.
"Are you okay? Um... I'm Ida, this is Chariklo." Ida offered something of a tired smile as she withdrew her hand. "Thanks for helping... it was really brave to jump in like that against a General."
Why his brother had to be friends with those who enjoyed physical touch was an issue Pollux didn't want to address. Ever. "Pollux, not Darling." He said, still sounding a bit taken back by the sudden.. familiarity the cat had shown him.
The cat back as a cat, he rubbed his neck, wondering how else to really get any progress done- "Hey beautiful." Castor's voice echoed out from behind him, and Pollux's stone face turned into the typical glower.
"Miss me kitty? I hope my bro hasn't been too much a pain. He hasn't been texting- and I got bored."
Okay, so she hadn't managed to stab the General in the face. But she supposed that his shoulder was an acceptable second place.
"What is it with you and this traitor s**t, a*****e?" she muttered right before he gripped her arm and the world went all spinny. She was vaguely aware of crashing into bodies, one of which she was pretty sure was Ida's. Magical glowy, pink tattoos, good for avoiding corruption and easy identification.
Hooray!
For a moment, she lay there in a daze, wondering if she should be offended or worried about the unintentional groping that she was recieving. Shaking her head a bit, she managed to squirm her own way to her feet, unable to help the smile of amusement that the baby senshi's clear gesture caused.
"That's tellin' him, honey," she muttered, reaching back to give Ida's hand a reassuring squeeze. Then, she locked her eyes on the General, lips curling in a snarl. "I'm gonna ********' kill him."
The lowering her voice so that only Ida and the baby would hopefully hear, she outlined a proto-plan.
"You two get her free and start getting out of here. I'll keep Assface busy, mmkay? Start moving once I have his attention. And Ida, be safe, okay? You too, kiddo."
Almost without thinking, she could feel the muscles in her shoulders moving, adjusting for wings that weren't there. Shooting the General a hate-filled glare, she began to casually crack her knuckles, ignoring the pain from her injuries. She hadn't found Hver and she could only hope that someone else had and that they'd gotten her out. With luck, she'd be able to help get at least one person out before falling on her face.
Forcing her body to work, Chariklo lunged suddenly for the General, one hand curled into a hard fist and the other curled into claws. She'd beat him to a pulp or tear his face off. Either outcome was a win in her books.
Subamara felt her foot connect with the youma, jarring her whole body and spinning her around on the floor. Her sliding attack took her all the way to the pit of balls and she scrambled to stop before going straight in, flailing for the edge. The youma’s howl sent a shiver down her spine, but the voice was far more frightening. And then… it ran away? It talked and climbed the wall and ran away. That was not in her frame of reference for youma. Not that she had terribly much experience. Who were ‘the stronger ones’? She could hear screaming somewhere further in.
The senshi of coffee stumbled back to her feet on the near side of the obstacle, heading back to check that the team she’d tried to help was still okay. They were, but now she could actually see the reason for the rescue mission. That poor girl.
The young senshi boy was calling on her help as the trio worked on the nasty-looking chains. His sensible request snapped her out of her shock at the sight. “Right, yes,” she agreed quickly. “Here?”
She moved into the space beside Oberon, pushing down where he directed to lend her slight strength to the others.

The General made up for overlooking him earlier by lashing out at him with a hastily grabbed arrow from his pack and although perhaps not the most efficient of weapons the cloth covering the arm that he'd raised almost instinctively in an attempt to try and block was no barrier to the edge on the arrow, material parting as the arrow's edged scratched painfully along flesh.
He yelped at the short flash of pain that ran in its wake, but made himself move using his other hand to try and swing out again at the arrow wielding General becauseif he could get the other to keep his attention on him then it prevented the other from trying to shoot holes in Ida, the Senshi and the Dark Mirror Eternal with her.
It didn't quite work that way, instead he stumbled as he tried to lunge and his intended swing turned into more of a grab as it snagged and then gripped onto fabric.
There was a crackle of what sounded like a voice coming from somewhere and what looked like Thraen, the blond in front and too much in the way for him to see what was happening with the others.
....the ********>? He'd expected the senshi to call in her companions when he went after her. That was a typical response, one he was bracing for. But for her to still keep going after Jet, and for the jackass who'd been after Aqua to lunge at him, too? Why go after the kid she'd attacked in the first place? Why not the person who actually took the cheap shot at her? Sera felt his blood boil as he watched the scene continue to spiral out of control. Another fist hit him, this time in the shoulder, and he grunted, looking back at the girl in question (Sadchbia) to try and shove her away from him.
"Grow the ******** up." He could only imagine what sort of pretty little life she must have lived. Uneven odds were the norm of life far as he was concerned, in fights especially. The punches hurt, but they weren't remotely worth his time, and any further words to her? A waste of breath he decided, turning back to slam his fist again towards the senshi going after Jet (Megrez). They were fighting dirty? While he won't defend what Aqua and Jet were doing, they'd already seen how far the senshi were willing to go. Killing was clearly not out of their rule books, so why would he expect any less from the Negaverse? He didn't condone the torture, but at the same time... he could sure understand it.
The lot going after them now certainly didn't give him a damn reason to reconsider his stance on the senshi--or whatever the dude with the scales was. Add another to his s**t list, fun.
He..... hadn't been expecting the youma though. That startled him, almost enough to back off the senshi they'd been pummeling. Yet beyond making sure he didn't get hit with... whatever she just flicked out, he was far too willing to accept the assistance.
