[[Partly backlogged]]
Maia stood with the BMC listening to Ares ready to undertake the captains plan. Exploration of this beautiful land seemed an easy task. However, the words get out resignated outward and her head snapped to attention much like many of the others, and then, as always, all hell broke loose.
Suddenly so much was going on at once and Maia stood in shock for a moment watching the chaos ensue. The Basterds, she smiled, happily right in the thick of it. The BMC jumped into action around her and Maia snapped out of her stupor ready to fight. With a nod to Ares she headed off only to be stopped by the sight of her cousin in a dire situation. She was about to help, but then Pomona was their, a cat, light, and Themis was super. Relief washed over her and her gave her cousin a silent cheer as she ran off. For now, her cousin was fine and he didn't need her.
So much was happening, Maia was seeing Negaverse agents she had seen in months, many she never seen before and then it hit her like a ton of bricks. Wolframite had to be around somewhere and Maia, still angry, wanted to make him pay. Her eyes scanned the raging battle looking for the tiny negaverse agent and while she say several other tiny ones, she did not see Wolframite.
She dogded a random attack aimed at, well she wasn't sure, but she sent a burning glare in the direction it came from. She ran off dogding attacks and continuing her search being missed, just barely, by a wave and then she spotted him near Castor and Tanzanite, thank god she was occupied. Maia was particularly frightened of the people devouring nega, who was on the top of her don't even think it list. The 'Doom Tree' incident was enough thank you.
In her momentary distraction Birhan and Wolframite started fighting, so when looked up again she was treated to the sight of her fellow BMCer being stabbed and the girls retaliation. She couldn't help but to grin. Birhan was going to have to teach her some new moves.
"Wolframite," she growled out heading for the duo.

Iris_virus -It was hard to tell how much effect Europa's attack was having, and from the amount of effort the first one had taken, it wasn't likely she was going to get many more out.- "It's alright, you got it" -She cooed in her motherly tone, trying to lead the other senshi back and away from the clustering of fighting people.
The sounds of metal was a familiar and comforting sound for Polaris, the clangs and wooshes of weapons drew her attention. She saw swords.. discs.. sticks and staffs. But Europa...- "It's getting awfully crazy, make sure you hold on tight."
-She didn't feel comfortable just leaving her. Even though it appeared there was a spectator section in the back that none of the enemy had attempted to mess with as of yet. Her eyes searched for some nearby metal to cause some havoc with.- "Okay," nodded Europa, wrapping her hands tightly around Polaris's arm. She tried to be serious as they made their way through the chaos, but all this managed to do was make her scared. Polaris might have found the sounds comforting, but every time she heard weapons clash, Europa flinched a little bit closer to her protector. "How did we- I didn't wanna-" she blubbered, frowning. Elysion had looked so nice, and then everything had gone downhill so fast, and what had she been trying to do before she landed funny? She couldn't remember, Polaris had something to do with it - the Basterds? That was it, that was so totally it! Europa turned to Polaris, wide-eyed, in the same sort of panic that overtook her when she realized she'd forgotten homework that was due the next day, and said, "I need to find the Basterds." Although, she could not tell Polaris why she needed to find them. And with that, she was off running, pulling Polaris back into the fray, frantically searching for a familiar face. Themis had the dubious honor of being the first Basterd they found. "Themissssss!" Europa cried, flinging herself at him. He was wearing white. It didn't connect in her mind that he'd gotten an upgrade. Instead, she said with utmost seriousness, "Someone dumped bleach on you, didn't they? Who was it? We'll find the b*****d."

He wasn't usually one for sentimental feelings but seeing Denebola unhurt and heading toward him let a huge weight off his shoulders. She was okay and she hadn't gotten that far away from him. He reached up and petted the little quail on his shoulder as she kneeled by where he was sitting.
"I started a fight i couldn't really handle." He shook his head slightly. "it's not your fault. I ran off without thinking." And he was paying for it now.
"Some blond with a guitar." he waved at the battle. "Another Senshi got him, i think." The girl with the spear at least had taken the captain's attention away from him.

"OOOOPH!" Nightwing probably never had Batman land on him, or at least, he couldn't remember any such occurrence... Of course then again, Batman tended not to end up in fights like this, and neither did Nightwing. He fought for breath for a few moments, nodding to Corvus' thanks, because he didn't have the breath to give her a better answer immediately.
"No... problem." He managed after a moment... and that was about when Fayalite tripped over them causing him to throw up his arms in attempt at self defence, yelping in undignified surprise.
-------------------------------------
This was, arguably, even more insane than the battle with Kaguya. Lightning, Hail and COINS rained from the sky, attacks sailed around, friendly fire could hit senshi or Nega alike... Worse he'd lost track of Europa after that -b***h- had come through and flung her by the hair as though she weighed nothing at all. What the hell kind of power did that take? If he needed any personal proof that the Negaverse was arguably, no more, and probably far less human than senshi, that was it.
Scanning the crowd for the Senshi of the deep, he waded into the fray looking for someone else to attack, before flinging an attack at The closest random Nega agent "Claws of the lion!"
The attack was slightly less powerful than the super, but it would save the remaining energy for the more powerful version if he needed it, and it still sliced and burned, just not as deeply or with quite the same blistering heat.

Eventually, Themis had managed to drag himself as far from the right as he could manage, hand still holding the wound on his arm as tight as he could, though it became evident that it would require a little more care. He'd seen death in the face one today, and he didn't intent on seeing it again.
He sat on the ground, took off his stained coat, and ripped some of his bodice to bandage his arm stab wound with, hopefully stopping the bleeding. Themis wasn't a doctor, but he knew at least this much. And... he should probably go to the hospital after this to make sure it wasn't infected. And that he wasn't bleeding internally thanks to the mega bruise on his chest.
Oh god, he was so going to get that b***h.
He managed to get the wound bound as tightly as he could, thankfully, before he was attacked by Europa. He winced pretty loudly when she hit his chest. "Gentle, here." He muttered, even though he closed his arm around her, just like a big brother protecting his little sister. "It's okay, im fine, im fine.. Shhhh..."
He didn't register that Europa had no god damn idea what had happened.

Europa wasn't thinking clearly enough to be calmed down with a head pat and a few shhhs. Instead, she struggled against Themis. "We're gonna find them, and we're gonna punch them. In the faces," she said determinedly. "They ruined your uniform. They ripped it up. They bleached it."
She still didn't get it. Europa was about as useful as a sack of potatoes right now, or maybe even less so: you could throw the potatoes. "You're bleeding," she said, stating the obvious. She turned back to look at Polaris. "He's bleeding," she said. She gently grabbed Themis's arm and looked at it. "This looks kinda bad. Hold on. I can help."
At which point she ripped one of the spindly streamers off her buttbow and haphazardly bandaged Themis's arm with it. It wasn't a particularly good patch job, but at least it was pretty.
"I'm looking for the rest of the Basterds," she said, admiring her work. "Have you seen them?"

Okay, now he noticed something was wrong, and he couldn't help but headtilt a little. Bleach him ?
Um. Oh,
Oh.
"No, im-" She didn't even give him time to place one sentence, and he sighed, through he let go and let her go at his arm, even through he'd already bandaged it.
"What happened to her ?" He asked Polaris, knowing full well that his little sister was acting a little... loopy. To Europa's question, he eyed his surroundings.
"I saw Pomona earlier, but I lost her." He admitted. "Through... I think that's Regulus over there ?"

Europa looked up at Themis, just for a moment, a manic gleam in her eye. "Themis, Themis, Zay, I flew." And hit her head pretty hard, apparently. She was suddenly stern looking. "You let her leave? We've gotta stick together!"
She pursed her lips and looked back down at his arm, just now realizing that there was another bandage under all that blood. "Mine's prettier. And waterproof." The latter claim was debatable, verging on outright falsehood. Only Europa's shoes were waterproof. This seemed to occur to her. "Maybe," she added.
"You see Regulus?" she asked, getting up on her tiptoes. Themis was still taller. "Where?" She jumped, trying to see. She thought she saw. "I see him!" She grabbed Polaris by one hand, and Themis with the other, and pulled them towards the familiar blonde.
"SIR REGULUS!" she shouted. "SIR REGULUS, I FOUND OUR TEAM!"

"I am just about finished playing games with your unfashionable a**!" Uranophane growled, sidle-circling Sailor Boreas as she contemplated her next -- and hopefully final -- move. She'd wanted to conserve her energy against such a low-class senshi, but it looked like she had no choice but to step up her game if she were to achieve her objective of wanting him dead. So, her fist ready at her side, she dodged the b*****d's kicks and prepared to launch a counterattack --
CLAWS OF THE LION!
And then a set of knives made of pure goddamed fire raked themselves straight into the Negaverser's back. It was with sheer willpower, focused energy, and a self-moralizing bellow of rage that she didn't fall to the ground again from the Super's assault, but she didn't stay where she was standing either. There was no way she was going to god damned risk herself being double-teamed by a frilly pair of fire-and-ice senshi, so at the first opportunity she leapt out of that fray and in search of a new one.
That journey was fortunately very short... as a very interesting target caught her eye.
"Hello... Princess..."
Uranophane poked experimentally at the barrier Princess Chronos had created, looking for all the world like someone who had found their favorite exhibit at the zoo. Then she rapped her fist against it a few times... and, finding it undeniably solid, backed up several paces into the open.
Had she given up already?
No -- she still had her eyes on the prize. Suddenly she broke into a rapid sprint, her grin turned menacing as she aimed to ram her armored shoulder into the barrier with all the strength she could muster.

Yep, something was wrong. She had just called him by his normal nickname in the middle of a ******** of as many negaverse agents and senshi as there probably were.
"Yes, yes, im sure you did." More like hit your head, probably. He still didn't get another word in before he was dragged along.
"I think she hit her head." He told Regulus. "We need to get her out of here."
Not that he was looking very hot either, but given the choice, he'd get his a** kicked all over again as long as Europa got out of here.

"A hit, a hit, a very palpable hit!" Why the line from one of his classes ((Wasn't it Shakespeare?)) occurred to him right then was anyone's guess, but maybe it was just because he was almost heady with the ability to cause harm.
"Europa?" He had half expected not to catch up again with his concussed version of a moral and relationship compass, but... but he'd just found someone else to help chase out, and they had RUN.
Never mind that it might not have been because of HIM that Uranophane had run off, as far as his ego was concerned, it must have been.
"Can't talk, kicking a**!" He yelled to Europa, and set off after Uranophane at a run.

Europa was confused. Why was Regulus running away? He wasn't supposed to run away! Had she done something wrong? Was this about... what was this about? The only thing to do was chase him and apologize for everything that had been bothering her lately and hope it made everything better. "WAIT, WAIT," she cried, still dragging Themis and Polaris behind her. "WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY? I LOVE YOU!"
He was still running. Which meant the only thing to do was keep running and keep apologizing. "I'M SORRY ABOUT NEW YEARS!" Let Themis and Polaris puzzle over what that was about. And, oh, wait, hadn't Regulus said something? What had Regulus said?
"Can't talk, kicking a**!"
Europa's face lit up. "Oh! Good! I'll help!" It always made her happy when someone on the team showed initiative! She flung out a hand. "Europa deep--"
She stopped.
She turned to Themis.
"I forgot. What do I say?"

Chronos' focus was trained entirely on the Crystal as it hovered above her, ignoring the knocks on the barrier completely. There was a sudden bright flash inside the spherical barrier, and when the light faded, the Crystal was gone. There, Princess Chronos stood, her long lost Crystal finally returned to her, the surge in her aura no doubt gaining notice.
Finally. She thought in relief. Of course, she could have thought of better circumstances to regain her Crystal, like for when the Negaverse wasn't invading Elysion... but she would make do with what she had. What mattered was that she felt complete once again.
The smile on her face was interrupted when the ground seemed to shake and Chronos whirled around just to see Uranophane ricochet off after she had crashed into the barrier. It was just then, when Chronos realized exactly what was happening, and placed her hands on the sides of the barrier. "Come on." She murmured to herself. "How... do you go down again?" After such a long period of time of not using it, it was difficult to remember how exactly to control the Opal Crystal.

Had Corvus known the direction of Eridanus's train of thought she might have elbowed him, if only because she was almost certain that she was smaller than Batman (by a good bit, thank you very much) and she didn't weigh that much (never mind that Nemesis had landed on him as well, at least doubling the weight on Eridanus).
She hadn't, though, which was likely a good thing, and was likely about to take a moment mid-battle to fuss over him as they helped each other up; would have done just that had they not been trampled and tripped over by a stupid, clumsy...
"You..." The Senshi of Vengeance, now Super Senshi, pissed and able to tap into powers that had been dormant prior to the first person who had landed on her, stared down the Lieutenant who was responsible for so many of the things that had happened to her since she'd become a senshi. Hell, she was the reason she'd been awoken that one night.
"You don't belong here," Corvus snarled. "Violent Revenge!" Came her battle cry, sending a powered-up version of an attack that, by this time, Fayalite should have been more than familiar with flying in her general direction.

Did he ever want to know ? Nope, he decided, he didn't want to know. In fact, he didn't even mention it, in fear that she might fill in the gap that he was pretty comfortable with having.
And apparently, it was up to him, and his free hand went to rub his temple. "Europa, you need to get out of here. You're not in the state to fight."
Says the guy with an arm ripped open.
"Let's go over there, okay ? We can totally kick a** over there." He offered, gesturing toward a more or less deserted patch in the middle of this madness.
He just hoped she'll fall for it.
