Scheelite heard the cry and simply laughed. Oh PLEASE, he had been through this already! Sure, the last time he dealt with this attack it had made it hard to see, breathe, and hell it even itched a little... But come on! It was just a little slightly harmful cloud, and once he was out of it's reach it had been useless. What a stupid attack...
Then again, last time he had faced this attack he had been outside, on a roof, and hadn't it been a bit windy that day? This was inside, with nowhere for the little particles to escape. So for a brief few moments he was laughing it off, and then the air around him seemed to explode in thousands and thousands of tiny brightly colored particles. If he wasn't so busy shouting curses he possibly would have remarked how awesome the colors were.
Alright, -******** this-, time to turn around and kick some senshi a**. But...where the hell was she? No amount of rubbing at his eyes could get the air to clear, and it was quite impossible to find Sailor Lyra in this swirling dust cloud from hell. He had started to take a few steps in the direction she surely had to be, when the giant vase found it's mark right in his face.
There was the crash of the vase, mixed in with a startled yelp from Scheelite, and then a thud. And then the hall fell silent.

She couldn't suppress the grin from snaking on her face when she heard the yelp. If it was just a thud with no yelp- then she would have assumed it hit the wall. But did the vase connect or just scare him? Part of her wanted to charge- but the other part knew that the patient normally won.
Thats when she grabbed for her second and third item- a really long umbrella (wtf?) and another vase. She stalked down the hallway as quiet as she could- the mist might blind you but it does not impair hearing. She kept her eyes open looking for the b*****d. Good thing about her particle attack was... she knew the house like the back of her hand, he didnt.
The vase had- apparently connected. She saw a body crumpled on the floor... was it dead? Just to make sure she kept the umbrella (pfff right) ready- and kicked him hard in the shin.

The vase had connected, and for a few moments the brightly colored world around him had gone completely black. When he could really -think- again he found himself on the floor, rivulets of blood winding their way down his face. A voice in the back of his mind screamed at him to get up and get the hell -out- of this place before anything else happened. He should go home, to -Z- and just relax.
The more predatory part of him forced him to lay still on the ground. Surely his prey would come closer to see if he was injured or perhaps even dead. And then she'd be in striking range, and this would all be over.
Of course she -did- come closer...and then she kicked him in the shin. This was not part of the plan, but Schee could work with this. The kick spurred life back into the crumpled body, and despite a hiss of pain Scheelite was moving fast, bringing his guitar around in an attempt to sweep her legs out from under her.

Quicker than she could have imagined she felt something hard slamming into the side of her legs- and soon flipping her off balance as well. The senshi landed with a THUNK on the hard surface and grimaced in pain. Her a** was sore now, the b*****d!
Once her minor pain detour was over she remembered the negaverser was still here- s**t. Taking the umbrella she jabbed at his torso once- before pressing a button releasing the umbrella. It was a large umbrella so it pretty much filled the hallway- she scooted back next to try and put some distance between them.

"Really, an -umbrella-?"
Scheelite was laughing again, even as she poked him with the umbrella. Oh please, it was just a friggin umbrella! Compared to everything else, it was -nothing-.
Then of course, it was open and in his face, and he went right back to cursing. Unfortunately for Lyra, an umbrella was little good as a shield against a Negaverser, and while it gave her a few precious moments to scoot back, it couldn't last long. Growling in rage, Scheelite did his best to use corruption-based strength to shred the fabric of the umbrella to pieces, before moving to dive over it and tackle the Senshi taking refuge behind it.

Lyra's eyes grew wide with slight shock as she saw the umbrella tear itself to shreds- the tendrils just adding to the layer of particles that was coating everything. Her first thought was 'what if that was me?' afterall- she liked her skin ON her body where it belonged. She made a note to avoid that attack if she could.
If she had learned anything as a senshi, that was to follow your instincts. They normally never lead you astray- and if they did well maybe you shouldnt follow them. As the Lieutenant lunged at her- she kicked her knee's into the air- so he would go flying over her instead of landing directly on her. "Yes, a umbrella."

Scheelite went flying alright, right into a rather large bookshelf behind the senshi. He crashed to the ground, a wave of books following him there. Alright...that wasn't his intended target, and really this rather -sucked-.
But it gave him ammo.
Still snarling, Scheelite grabbed up a few books and hurled them after Lyra. The damn particles were sill stinging in his eyes, but damnit he'd just get over it. Even if he was coughing by now. OH WELL. He'd just hurl more books! TAKE THAT Lyra!

She couldnt help but stare as the next course of actions seemed to go by in slow motion- one second she see's Scheelite launching at her... the next second he was flying over her. Things suddenly took a turn for the worst as the thud of the body hit the bookshelf- because she soon felt the ache of s**t hitting her like a huge target.
"Ow. OW." She screamed wheeling around at the same time she stood up. Oops- easier target. One of the heavier books (damn you, cook books) nailed her right in the face and sent her back down to the ground with a CRASH. The pain in her back made her black out for a second- before another book nailed her in the ribcage. The pain that shot through her woke her up- and caused her to jump what felt like 10 feet. (close enough probably- senshi powers ftw).
Lyra's attack was still thick in the air- she was suddenly grateful it did not burn her eyes.
Dodging more of the books- she ran down the hall and turned into... oh hell. the kitchen.

Ha ha! The books were hitting the mark, and Scheelite was laughing again as the senshi screamed and crashed around. Scheelite was rather proud of himself, afterall the Senshi probably thought she was pretty safe in her stupid cloud, and here he was still managing to beat the hell out of her via books!
Even if his laughing was turning to coughing thanks to the damn choking dust.
"Heeey...where you going? This was just starting to get fun!"
Scheelite scrambled to his feet (it took a few attempts, those damn books were EVERYWHERE afterall), and took off down the hall after Lyra. He had no idea they were headed to the kitchen. Actually he had no idea where he -was-, as the rather limited visibility caused him to run into a wall more than once as he followed after her. However he did eventually manage to figure out where she went, and turned to run through the kitchen doorway.

For once- she was ready for him.
Once schee had entered the room (or at least the outline of him) if he could see even a little- he would see the outline of things being tossed at him. Most of them missed- Lyra was poor at aim- but some of them probably connected. Pots, pans, even the something that looked like the Blender and toaster was tossed at him.
She wanted him OUT of her house. She was uncomfortably close to her mothers corpse again- she did not want to fight here. Not with her mother here. The thought still brought tears to her eyes.... hell this whole 'fight' she was tearing up.
While grabbing some of the objects- she had not realized she turned on the gas stove.

"Come out come out wherever you ar---GAH!"
A frying pan had chosen that moment to collide with his already bleeding face. Stumbling back, the Negaverser let out a series of yelps and curses as seemingly everything but the kitchen sink was thrown at him. Fending off the blender, Scheelite grabbed a hold of the one thing he had and threw it at Lyra.
Which...sure, Starpower made a pretty good projectile, but now that he had tossed the plastic controller he was left without a weapon. s**t. Scheelite threw his battered arms over his even -more- battered face and charged in again, only to be felled by a toaster to the ribcage. He let out a sound close to a strangled gasp of pain before collapsing to the floor. A puff of particles flew up at his collapse, the body disturbing them from where they had come to rest.

Lyra couldnt help but wince -- Yes this was a battle but hell she couldnt help it. That looked painful. She did not feel bad in the slightest for the pain it caused him but as she was getting ready to toss something else... a guitar came flying out of no where and hit her in the torso.
She doubled over clutching her chest. She wheezed at not only having the wind knocked out of her but her ribs were screaming bloody murder at her. She didnt think coughing up blood was natural too- hell.
She was lucky- the Lieutenant was out cold.
Thats when it happened- a faint sssssssssssssssss sound- followed by the sound of something catching fire. Jumping out of the way she saw the gas stove has caught fire- the guitar had shoved paper towels onto the range and caused a fire. The fire soon spread up the walls and over the kitchen cabinets.
"No.." She growled- eyes falling to her mothers corpse. Could she drag her mother out of here? What good would it do? She was dead and it had been too long to return the starseed to her... Something behind her crashed- the fire was spreading even faster. The particles in the air from her attack were sizzling now- and starting to catch fire themself. Ohgod she made a fire hazard with her power. Remembering back at the meeting- she remembered Kunzite saying how 'all negaversers needed to die. Do not hold back." She eyed scheelite... he was still human, right? Even if he was working for the wrong side...
Before she had a chance to question herself further- she ran over to him and grabbed his arm and started to drag him outside. He would have been a lot heavier to a human- but as a senshi she had grown stronger. It took all she had not to scream in agony from the pain the extra burden caused her. On the way out the back door she had just enough time to grab that single photo album and the picture of Beth and Z. She needed something to remember them by...
The range exploded behind them- causing both Lyra and the unconscious Scheelite to fly out the door as all of the windows blasted open. It flung them both through the wooden fence and into the back streets. The particles in the air had all ignited with the explosion and soon the whole house was engulfed in flames.

Scheelite would have been horrified by the fire. He would have ran out, or maybe...just maybe he would have helped Lyra drag the corpse out. He wouldn't know why, but panicked individuals did odd things, and a fire definitely would have panicked the young Negaverser.
As it was, he was completely dead weight as Lyra heroically drug him out of harm's way. There was a moan here and there, but no real attempt to move. The fire quickly engulfed the house, burning up most clues to the crime that had taken place, and more importantly the lives that had played out there.
It was sometime after both he and Lyra crashed to the streets out back that consciousness flooded Scheelite's mind once more. With a rather agonized groan his acid green eyes fluttered open and he started to stir. He didn't move very much before collapsing once more. No, there wasn't much of a fight left in him, and likely not her either.
"W...w-what the hell just happened? Feel like I got hit by a ******** bus man..."
He rolled over, finally catching sight of the burning building they had been flung from.
"..................I -so- did not do that..."

"You -so- did." She murmured forgetting for a moment that they were enemies. She just joined him in marveling the sight.
That was until the reality sucker punched her again when she remembered this was her home. Lyra should have sunk to her knees, she should have cried out for her mother and everything she owned. Instead she watched the blaze and bit her lip to hold back the tears -- her grip tightened on the photo album.
Slight movement made her look down towards Scheelite. She punched his shoulder as hard as she could- before the sailor scout ran into the night away from the only place she called 'home'.

The rather hard punch brought him right out of his staring at the now destroyed house. Scheelite cried out and moved to grab her...but she was already long gone. So, he did the next best thing.
"HEY! I don't even get a good bye? WHAT THE ******** MAN?! Well at least CALL ME alright? Sheesh, some arch nemesis..."
That addressed, the exhausted boy struggled to his feet and limped off in the opposite direction Lyra had gone. He hadn't managed to kill a Senshi tonight, but he had managed to kill someone else that had been vexing him. That was all that really mattered.
