DMC Sailor Quetzálcoatl, Senshi of Cataclysms

Quetzálcoatl stared up at the giant monster as it forced it's way through the large rift the monsters had been trying to get to. She stepped back in fear of the titanic monster, she had no idea monsters could get that big. She also didn't know how they could defeat something of that size. As a gale force wind much stronger than her own magic raged around her the smaller monsters and even some of the crowd began to attack the huge monster.

Quetzálcoatl swallowed her fear and steeled her resolve as she rushed to attack the giant monsters with the others. She had to help bring down this monster. She called on her magic to bring her storm to batter the monster. Surprising to the young Dark Mirror Senshi the monster soon began to fall. It seemed that the combined assault of the group and the monsters was having an effect on the giant.

Soon enough the monster fell its crystal shattering and clearing the way back to Destiny City, Quetzálcoatl knew she had to move fast to get back however because the rift was closing. She moved fast putting all of her effort into running as she raced for the rift back to safety.

Yomi-no-kuni, Squire of Saturn

Yomi was fighting the monsters when that terrible wind began to stir he had to cover his eyes to keep the force of the wind from blinding him. He turned to look at the large rift just in time to see a titanic monster force its way through into the dimension. Yomi realized fighting it was not the best idea, no getting out the realm while the smaller monsters were busy swarming the giant one with the crystal.

He looked around for a rift to step through back to Destiny City. He began running towards the first rift he saw, out of the corner of his eye he saw the flying monsters attacking the giant one as well as some of the crowd that had been brought there. He saw the giant begin to fall as the crystal shattered. The monster began to go after the shards and the rifts began to close. Yomi redoubled his efforts and raced through the rift back to the relative safety of Destiny City.

Dark Mirror Eternal Sailor Acubens

Later on, Acubens would weep over the bravery of her team. She would hold them all close and tell them how proud she was of them. Even Morpheus who had been so suspicious and distrustful of her at first. Yes, she decided in the back of her mind, she'd embrace him too if he'd let her.

But that was for later, and she had to hold herself together for now. She ran with them instead, channeling the knot in her throat into her legs as she did so. Still defenseless as her held onto the senshi on her back, Acubens relied on her team without question to do the bulk of the work.

As the creature fell and the crystal on it's chest shattered, Acubens faltered. The hold on her that the crystal had did not weaken... in fact it only got stronger. The crystal was within reach. It was accessible. It was hers for the taking. It was only Protogenia shifting in her back that brought her back to her senses. The crystal could wait. It had to. She had to get everyone else out and then maybe she could go back for just a little bit of the crystal.

Rainier - Page of Mercury

Rainier watched in stunned horror as the large giant fell and the crystal in its chest chatted upon impact. The ground rippled beneath her, threatening to send her toppling into the Knight again if she didn’t shake off the disorienting sensation.

It was like being on a cruise in open waters and she, for one, did get seasick. Fortunately, the only waves here were the gargoyles swarming the fallen behemoth of a monster or flying towards the rifts.

The Rifts- she watched in horror as not one or two… but four of the smaller tears closed suddenly while the passageway the giant had been seemingly guarding was becoming noticeably more narrow. Some of the monsters fled, either seeking refuge in Destiny City or to keep them from leaving. Either way, Rainier was not inclined to stay in this chaotic place of rubble and ruin.

“Don’t need to ask me twice,” she stated, and from her wrist, she pulled her weapon, revealing a fiberoptic wire that attached it to her uniform. “Let’s get out of here.” Acrucis hadn’t been forgotten, but given the situation at hand, all she could do was hope that the Senshi of Prayer hadn’t been pulled into the Rift and was still safe where she’d left her.

Corrupt Super Fulgurite

The monsters swarmed the crystal, and between all the attacks from them and the monsters alike, the giant monster fell. Fell, and pulled.

Nothing really surprised him anymore, and yet, there was something about pulling a whole hole in reality that still gave him pause. It was a good hole, it let them leave, but it also seemed like it could let whatever these smaller monsters leave. Some were paying attention to the fallen larger monster--dimensional god evidently--but others were looking at that exit way too closely.

The last thing Destiny City needed was more creatures causing problems. Between their own youma and their own agents and whatever the dark mirror or the white moon did--although on their part, he suspected not much, considering Sylvite now Nectaris--that was plenty enough. Fulgurite knew he needed to leave, but before he took that exit, he entrapped a few more struggling monsters in a ball of freezing water, as was his specialty.

Hopefully, that held them up long enough...

Well, he was more interested in living, and he had a feeling that waiting around much longer to make sure they didn't escape only guaranteed his own death, and to be honest, if he was going to die, in an inky dimension where Orah and his dad had no chance of finding him ranked just as low as the Rift and its anglerfish youma.

It was that thought that accompanied him right out of the portal back to the city.

Super Sailor Hydor

It looked like Hydor was going to get his wish.

Well, one of them, anyway. The giant monster was going to stop. Its attacking fiends weren't really doing the same, swarming as it stumbled and fell, seemingly after something in particular. Whatever that ******** crystal was, probably...

Wait.

Did that giant thing just tear its way through time and space? ********, Hydor wished he could do that. Could have already left this dimension he had gotten randomly sucked into, honestly. Hopefully, wouldn't need to deal with people either, or the monsters now trying to swarm to get out and chase what was left of what they had been trying to get at.

Were those ******** gargoyles? They looked like the statues he had sometimes seen on older buildings and reminded him of one that had appeared a few years ago. He hoped not, the youma were irritating enough, and he had no interest in adding a thing he couldn't even sense as s**t to watch out for on his ******** patrols. At least youma had the thinly there courtesy of being sensible. But what the hell were these, then, if they came with no detectable aura? Didn't seem to be Chaos--

Would the gargoyle monster things get away from the portal? Hydor didn't want to beat through them to get home.

Not that he had much of an option.

Son of an a**. Alright. He didn't really want to get stuck here or find out what happened when a shadow dimension full of gargoyles fell apart so--

"Get out of my ******** way!" Hydor shoved one or a few of them, which was surprisingly cathartic and easy when he was no longer on their radar. It made it a bit easier and faster to make it to the hole in reality that the big monster could apparently just tear. What the ******** was it? -- did it matter? enviable ability or not -- he jumped out of the hole and left this strange experience behind just as quickly as he had entered it.

Felt like he had dodged a bullet, there.

Sparrow Riley
Loathe as ze was to admit it, this guy was saving zyr life (probably, anyway), so when he pulled Sparrow to zyr feet, ze stopped openly complaining. Thanking him out loud was a stretch too far, though.

Chrysocolla's magic - burned. It was the emotional equivalent of acid reflux, zyr mind not sure if it should turn that aggression outwards or inwards or inbetween -- ze doubled over, clutching zyr arms so tightly zyr nails were leaving pale indents in zyr already-pale skin. It wasn't fun. It wasn't anything but painful - it was too hard to think, only just enough self-possession retained to remember ze was civilian and mortal right now, and running into the fray would be ill-advised -- but it hurt like a b***h all the same, desperately trying to claw away that self-righteous fury that would just get zem killed.

Corrupt Eternal Chrysocolla
Good! That was good. It was so nice to watch it hit people, watch them shift and change under their own skin, their minds betraying them: she was immune, because it was her own magic, and she'd never had to worry about it hurting her. There was a Dark Mirror Senshi with over a foot on her who it hit hard, he was almost slavering with the rage, abandoning all magic and delving in fists-first: she respected that, as much as she was going to respect some basic senshi who she could throw through a window without a second thought.

And the two behind her, of course, but who cared about them? They weren't anyone. Except maybe the Corrupt could be hers, if she tried, because... she needed to start making her name, sometime, if she wanted Laurelite to look at her the way she wanted to be looked at. Like she was competent, and special, and something new. But she'd think about that later.

But Kamacite - that was his name, right? She was pretty sure that was his name - was calling some sort of command, and it didn't hurt her to follow it; she drove her elbow back into the skull of one monster without looking and kept going from there, just kept going, just kept going - it was easy. It was simple to relax into the rhythm of that violence.
