It took a few seconds, but Nealite was able to pull herself up from the ground and out of the senshi's grasp, her pigtails bobbing as she moved. Brushing her arms off, she met the fallen senshi's glare with a smirk of her own.
"Didn't your mother ever warn you of your face freezing that way?"
Tucking the seed in her pocket, she glanced quickly at the unmoving Pegasus, and then back to Lyra. She took a quick step forward and swiftly sent a kick of her heel directly in the girl's face. "... there. Fixed it for you."
Cackling, she waved to Pegasus before turning on her heels and bolting out the door into the beautiful daylight. The police would be here shortly, and as much as she'd love to stay around and watch the fireworks, she'd much prefer to save her own hide.
Ah, well, perhaps they'd have another day to combat, one day when the sides were a bit more fairly numbered!

Still doubled over she heard the other senshi approach- she was hopeful that the second senshi would have enough sense to leave her behind and attack the fake Sailor. Alas.... of course she could not be that lucky. Not only that- she soon felt the heel of the other scouts shoe.. right on her face. That was just adding insult to injury at that point. The blow itself hit her nose- causing blood to flow out her nostrils. She would later find out that it was thankfully not broken. The orange haired senshi fled before she could do anything- she was useless once again.
She just wanted to cry. Curl up into a corner, and just cry for hours. Cry for her now aching body... cry for her ruined pride..... cry because she was not fond of fighting.... Cry because she failed... cry because she killed someo-
She looked down... still leaning over the elderly woman... whom was now a lifeless corpse. Her face still plastered with the look of fear- except now her face was now whiter...lifeless.
... and thats when the full effect of the events hit. She killed someone. Her, Sailor Lyra, had reached into the chest of a poor elderly woman and yanked away her life. While yes- she was forced to do so- she still had felt the life of that woman in her hands. She held her hopes, dreams, wishes, all of her years past, her family, friends, and her warmth in her hands... and she took them away in one swoop. All the generations after her would mourn her death- and fully blame the senshi for taking away a loved one. No... they would blame her. It was all her fault. If she would have just put the starseed back into the womans chest- she would have come back. If she had not hesitated a moment and let the orange haired b***h grab her wrist. She would be alive. No... not now, even if she somehow got the starseed back... her body would always remain a lifeless shell.
Biting her lip- she screamed. Not caring now who or WHAT heard her. She slammed her fist on the ground multiple times- allowing a few tears to free flow down her face and mix with the blood. She wanted to die- just curl up and die. Maybe she could give her own starseed to the woman and bring her back... she knew this would not be the case- but all the same her now irrational thoughts welled up.
Something inside of her snapped.
That's when she remembered that the second senshi was there. She had just sat there... and watched. Watched her take a life, and do nothing about it. Watched as the b***h ran away. Her sorrow quickly turned to an anger she could feel rising. She had never felt this furious. Standing up- she wiped under her nose- a smear of red was now on her glove. She whirled around- and if sailor nea thought HER glare was worth a boot to the face..... that was nothing compaired to what sailor pegasus was getting.
"Why. Did. you. do. NOTHING?"

Too late.
The slightest pause, and she made her choice. The sailor of dreams watched as the orange and black clad girl got up from beneath Lyra, jerking back in surprise as she smashed her shoe into her face, a look of horror slowly spreading across her features. And then she was running, leaving the two standing there, too late to catch her, too late to save the woman. It was only then that Pegasus moved into action once more, kneeling by Lyra and hesitantly resting a hand on her shoulder, looking her over, appraising the damage done. Her nose was bleeding pretty badly, mixing with the stream of tears streaking down Lyra's cheeks, causing the teal-skirted girl to pull back a little more, emotionally reeling. She couldn't take this. She couldn't deal with this, she wasn't good at this, comforting people, telling them it would be ok. Lyra's self-loathing seemed beyond repair, especially for someone as socially inept as herself.
Pegasus let her eyes slide to the woman beside them, sucking in a breath, feeling a chill run down her spine. The woman's eyes were still open, hazy and glassed over, a tell-tale sign that something was very wrong. To anyone else, it might seem she had a heart attack, but the two senshi knew better. But if Pegasus had thought that Lyra's self loathing was bad, it was nothing compared to the hate that radiated towards herself as Lyra suddenly stood, whirling around. Stumbling to her feet, she tripped back a few feet, shocked at that outburst.
"I..."
Why had she done nothing? She could think of a number of answers -- I couldn't leave you here. Why did YOU do nothing? But instead Pegasus was silent, staring at the other senshi, starting to close up. Any chance that she could offer comfort to the other hurting senshi was gone, the accusation enough to shut her down. Glancing at the door, she thought she heard police sirens in the distance, her eyes drifting back to the bloodied Lyra.
"We have to get out of here."
How far the mighty had fallen.
