It was almost comical the way that her target had begun to exhibit the symptoms of getting hit with her magic. Myrrha could not risk showing her amusement though as she knew it would invite further rage. Instead Myrrha took the brief moment she could to scan the melee around her. She had made little progress in trying to get to the portal. She needed to rejoin with Phact and Sabine as soon as she could. It was at this time that she realized her attack must have worn off as the lieutenant was lunging towards her.
Realizing that she only had a short period of time to think of something Myrrha threw caution to the wind and moved forward to meet Marcasite mid-lunge. Seconds later she realized that trying to meet a moving object that had more momentum than her own was a disaster waiting to happen.
Case in point - colliding with a person of higher density and mass had the unfortunate reaction of Myrrha finding herself bouncing backwards and stumbling to the ground. Her bag broke her fall and she could only pray that it stayed closed on her. There was no way that she wanted the enemy to know what she had in her possession.
She muttered softly to herself as she lay on the ground, "great move idiot."
Groaning she got to her knees. That had not gone so well. She raised her hands in anticipation of an incoming strike. If she had to resort to hand to hand combat she'd not fare well. Her eyes locked on Marcasite as she struggled to rise to her feet in silence.

Laurelite's eyes fell to Ganymede, and for a second, she stopped moving. And then she scoffed. "Little Princess, you look like you've caught a fright. Do you need to take a seat? I can send someone to fetch you some tea." She moved to grip her scythe in both hands.
"You should know that you aren't worth my time. I learned long ago that you're nothing but a liar, Ganymede. So go ahead, keep talking. But you'd better pick some good last words."
She looked at Valhalla a second later, and though she said nothing, she still seemed smug. The faintest smile appeared on her face; she gripped her scythe tighter.
And then the attacks started.
Both Remus and Sessrumnir's magic hit her.
But she did not immediately try to move.
Instead, her eyes narrowed as if she were trying to see through the illusion. She seemed aware of the pressure on her from Remus' attack, but she was cautious not to display weakness.
And then Gevaudan's weapon slammed right into her face. Her body moved in slow motion—slower, even, when Lacrimosa's magic reached her.
Her body moved, slow motion; despite the pain, her face remained an emotionless mask.
Her scythe fell from her grip.
By the time Glitnir's magic hit her, she couldn't defend herself or teleport away.
But her face was a cool mask, and she locked eyes with him.
Good lord, they got a live one with her! Grus didn't have time to catch the girl before she jumped on her, and hit the ground with an almighty thump. The wind left her lungs, and she silently thanked her butt wings for breaking at least a little of her fall.
She thrust her arms out, trying to get the girl off. Her wrist throbbed. Her knees came up as she bucked her whole body. One hand left go of the agent's shoulder to swing for a slap on the face.

Ambrosia
These guys were much more talkative than youma. Ambrosia watched Perdita and Chara engage, waiting for a moment that would allow her to attack without hitting her comrades.
It came with Chara's snap to Banananite's head. She saw the moment, and called up her magic.
"Watch out!" She shouted. "Honey Shoot!" The ball grew in her hands, and she took aim, sticking her tongue out for extra accuracy. She forced it forward toward Banananite, hopefully avoiding Chara and the others in the process.
Honey Shoot Sailor Ambrosia holds out her hands and a yellow ball of honey about the size of a soccer ball shoots toward the enemy. If hit, the enemy takes twice as long to attack or move.
[Duration]- 15 seconds before the honey hardens and can be broken. After 15 seconds the blobs harden to something similar to glass. Fragile enough to be broken.
“Maybe I'm a liar, maybe I'm not,” Ganymede said to Laurelite, “but you're the one who went into b***h-mode when I pretended to be the Moon Queen, so you can't pretend as if you've never fallen for it before.”
Clearly she wasn't falling for it now, but then Ganymede hadn't expected the lies to get her very far this time. She'd only meant to use them to gain Laurelite's attention, and she'd done that, in a way. Laurelite was distracted long enough for multiple attacks to hit her at once and leave her momentarily motionless.
That was enough. That was all they needed.
Quickly, while the scythe was out of Laurelite's hands, Ganymede took stock of the battlefield, looking around for the strongest of her allies. Babylon was not so very far away, and Kairatos stood out fairly well, given the commotion caused by his Summon. Through a break in the fighting, she caught sight of Sessrumnir as well.
“Gev,” she said, glancing over to him, “I'm sorry, but this is probably going to hurt you a lot.
“Val,” her attention moved to her husband. “You're going to need to pick Gev up and carry him to the portal.
“BABYLON, SESS, KAIRATOS,” she raised her voice as loud as she could over the sounds of the battle around her, “GET READY TO LEAD EVERYONE BACK TO THE POTAL.”
Then her attention went back to Laurelite. Despite her hopelessness and fear, Ganymede smiled at the General Queen.
“Now, Harmonia!” she called to the Super Senshi. “Do it now!”

Scholomance, Squire of Saturn
Kairatos' outburst left him tasting bitterness. "If the Code's fate is left to the hands of a man so volatile, then it's already lost to us," he commented toward Centisima. "It has lived for this long in this place - if it's lost again I expect nothing will change. Let's move on - there's no reason for us to crowd ourselves around the emotionally compromised." A last pointed glance was spared toward Kairatos before he steeled himself and prepared to move on, yet another knight nearby had stopped him with her words.
There Palatine stood, a more mature knight, with a teacup in hand that left Scholomance initially confused. His leg burned terribly at the mention of his injury, and yet he felt hesitant in trusting strange magics to heal it. Still, they were the cause of his ordeal, and he knew the fate of the injury if he left it in ignorance during the battle. Tentatively he nodded to her, and watched the tea pour onto the wound from her infinitely stranger 'weapon'. It looks like a bone cane is surprisingly the more useful of knight weapons. Looking around this battlefield... The only thing more reasonable are the cluster of staves about. Perhaps that's what awaits me if I ever make it to knight.
If, indeed, when we're faced with a wall of ire.
Scholomance expected a burn from the liquid. However, he found that he could tolerate its heat quite well, and waited as long as he could for its healing properties to take hold. Already he found improvements in the feel of the injury - no longer did it pain him so terribly. A dull throb left him the reminder that it still persisted, but he cared little - this kind knight's magic was likely all the assistance he would receive for some time. "Thanks," he responded with as much meaning as he could muster. "But we should move - there's a shitload of youma coming with that General-Queen.
"You coming?" Centisima looked as turned off as Scholomance felt about Kairatos' explosion. "That one there looks like she's drawing the attention. If there's a time to go, it's after everything concentrates on her." Which means she needs to live through this if we want enough time to escape. I need to get closer. Contradicting his earlier statements, Scholomance started his limping gait toward the winged figure.
Avalon could handle the general, Babylon decided, focusing his attention on Valhalla and Ganymede. They weren't so far away that he couldn't reach them, but he needed to hurry. Brushing the cat off his shoulder, he ordered it to "Watch out for Avalon. Make sure she gets out of here safely," and then hurried into the crowd.
Ganymede had gone to confront the general queen, and the distance between Babylon and her present position was thick with fighting. He ducked and dodged, his bare hand held close to his chest as to not dispell the energy accidentally. He couldn't waste this. Not when combining their powers was their best chance.
He finally made it, just in time for Ganymede to shout for him to go do crowd control, of all things.
Not a chance.
Babylon ran towards her, his hand outstretched, reaching for her shoulder. He could practically feel the magic crackling beneath his fingertips.
"And miss all the fun?" he asked. "Go to town. I've got your back."

Altais, Basic Senshi of Shockwaves - Entering by Portal
Altais popped out of the otherside like a firecracker, arms wide and legs wide until he landed and gave a thumbs up to his newly found temporary team members.
While Dene might be worried about him, the senshi had ever intention of protecting her and her friends! Even if he was a basic little thing. He looked around and noticed that there was a overwhelming amount of chaos before taking a deep breath.
"So, we fight someone?" He looked around and then towards a group heading towards them, "Maybe them?" He pointed to Xe and her little gang.
Lt. Huntite ~ With Benitoite's group, open for interactions
Huntite kept one eye on the group he was with and one on the Senshi he was fighting, at least figuratively. He kept the intruder off guard with his attacks before he spotted a chance to end the fight and he took it and in turn, took the Senshi's starseed. When the Senshi crumpled to the ground he stood there for a moment with the seed in hand before looking over at the General quickly to see if Benitoite would give him any clue as to what he should do with it. He had no plans on eating it of course after seeing what happened to Apatite. Before he could actually ask him though he was attacked by a Page so he tucked it away in a pocket and attacked back.
He had just knocked the Page unconscious when he caught the battle centered around the General Queen again only to watch in shock as she went down thanks to the various attack. "Sir! Should we help her?" He aimed his question at Benitoite even while gearing up to make his way over there to try and stop the death of yet another General Queen.

Erebus, Squire of Saturn ~ Phact's group
Erebus looked over when Venice spoke up and gave a nod. "It would be best if we were in a group yeah but at this point I don't think that is going to happen sadly." He said, a frown briefly crossing his face. Their side needed some structure badly, some way to unite all of the smaller groups together when need be but he couldn't think of anyone who would fit the bill for it. He felt the other take his sleeve and he shifted so he was slightly closer though he was looking back away from the Page at this point to make sure nothing or no one attacked them unaware. He kept up with Venice as they hurried after the group and spotted the familiar looking Mars Knight (Kairatos) getting closer to Phact and the rest of the group.

Centisima, Senshi of Centipedes
"Can’t cure stupidity," Centisima had time to say before the new knight stepped forward and offered her assistance. “Thank you,” he added automatically, even if it wasn’t his leg she was offering to heal. He watched curiously as she went through the process. Judging by what he’d seen so far, the Knights required an item of sorts to channel their magic. If that had been him and he’d gotten a magical healing teapot, he would have felt a bit annoyed. Granted magical healing was fairly useful but short of bashing someone on the head with it, you wouldn’t be winning many battles.
"Nifty," he said and grinned at Palatine. "You be careful." She was pretty hot. Even with that older mature vibe. Or maybe that’s why she was hot.
Then it was back to business because there was indeed a shitload of youma and the Mr. Code-hogger was trying to smash crazy evil Nega lady in the face and if they weren't careful they were going to get sucked right up into- oh. They were going right into the thick of it. There was a chick with wings who was calling for people and apparently that was the new plan. Great.
"Well, I’m not staying here," he joked and moved to Scholomance’s side. His hand twitched, felt his magic ready and waiting, almost becoming to flow out. A part of him almost wanted to rush into battle, do his bit, hit something before it came at him. But he also wasn’t an idiot and one minorly irritating centipede claw wasn’t going to do the trick.

Lt. Prehnite - With Ochre and Xeno - Battle on!
Prehnite watched for a moment, Marcasite and the Senshi who'd done something -freaky-skirt-magic-wise- throw themselves at each other. Interest drawn away by the Generals voice; gaze following easily to where she'd pointed. His eyes immediately alight with recognition for one of the faces in the group. One in particular he'd been hoping and dreading to see.
"Oh, absolutely." The words snarled, not because he was so eager to face (Altais), he couldn't have cared less about the Senshi. No, it was because that ******** with the whip...Insane, unfocused, torturing...He still didn't even have a proper name to go off! Just a face, and a weapon.
Prehnite wanted desperately to have words with the Knight; the kind that started with a small, dark, hopeless cell and ended with his trowel embedded in the Knights eye. Maybe it was petty of him, after all the man hadn't done anything psychically damaging... He also hadn't shown anything to Prehnite that made him seem deserving of his own existence...
"You'd be smart to run!" Expression slightly manic, as he immediately took on the Senshi Altais.
Remove the Senshi, get to the Knight. That was his only goal.
He remembered hearing something about great minds running in like gutters, and it was almost enough to make him laugh... though watching Laurelite take a pounding from ranged magic, and drop that damn deadly scythe didn't hurt, as far as pushing a grim smile onto his face. She had more magic than any ONE of them. She could resist more of it than any one of them, but battle was a numbers game.
Oh god. Had Zink told him that? .... ******** it he was going to pretend he'd read it somewhere else.
"You got it, Ruffles!"
He was already on it, but he didn't need to point that out. They needed to show Solidarity, not disorganization. Minimum it might lead Laurelite to think they'd planned more of this than they had, she might miscalculate based on that. By every god there is or was let her miscalculate.

Sabine, Senshi of Tactics
Sabine was so relieved to see Kairatos, so much so she completely missed what he was carrying until he'd gotten close enough to talk. With a small nod, she eyed the "object" in his arm with a bit of trepidation. But, if he was the source of the Bull, then she felt a little better. Surely he still had some strength? More than her surely!
"I'm okay," She huffed out - half truth that it was. Physically, she was without injury and not super tired. Emotionally and mentally? She was a wreck. When this was over there was a good chance she was going to go home, grab the biggest unicorn plush she had, and sob herself to sleep. "What's more important is that we get whatever that is and these..." she lifted the pail of starseeds. "Out of here."
As it was, she stuck close to Phact and Kai - wanting to be sure that the moment something broke open she could make a mad dash as needed.

Corinth, Page of Neptune
Corinth laughed a bit, and when he heard what he assumed to be someone of some authority shouting something, he reached back and tugged lightly on Dallol's outfit. "Deal." He said with a small smile. "We should get ready to run..." He said with a small murmur. "I think things are coming to a head..."
He swung his drum a few more times, and launched a kick at one of the youma that seemed to not be dissuaded by the instrument. "Take my hand so we don't get separated!" He reached for hers then, hoping they could stick together and not get split up.
Captain Jet - Fighting Newgrage with Aqua, Sera, and Lace
Jet let out an angry growl when the squire managed to easily avoid his deadly attack. He huffed out a labored breath as he turned to glare at Aquamarine over his shoulder. How dare he act as though he couldn't handle himself??
"Shut the ******** up!" he half shouted, half wheezed, before turning back to Newgrange. Jet gripped tightly to his weapon's handle, hesitating for only a few moments in the face of the squire's threat to defend himself, before hobbling forward again with a new vicious attack. If vicious attacks were clocked at the time of struggled speed walking.
Seraphinite and his precious little kitten could just bite him. Aquamarine could just go somewhere else. This was just a squire he was fighting. And while, yeah, he didn't usually fight Knights, preferring to fight senshi, this guy was still in the Rift and he had orders to attack, so that was what he was doing.
