It was as Guneus tumbled to the ground from his hit that Kremersite finally, finally saw the opportune moment to to move. He dashed forward and flung himself against the senshi in some sort of half baked attempt to tackle him and keep him firmly pressed against the pavement of the school grounds. He was hoping the senshi was too dazed to retaliate like he'd down against Bixbyite, and he was also hoping that he was getting a bit too tired to push him off. After all, the green haired boy knew he that where he had the speed, he lacked the general bulk most males had.
This made fights mildly hard when he was attempting to actually overpower someone physically; that wasn't really his specialty by far.
He tried, hard, to turn the senshi around, attempting to grab his arms and place them behind him so as to press his knee into his back. Right now, what he wanted most, was to hurt Guneus. Hurt him bad; which probably wasn't the best idea seeing as how they should be finishing this up as soon as humanly possible. It was only after a moment that rational thought flashed through his mind, and without turning to the girl, he growled, "Go for the kill, Bixy! If you see an opening, go for it!"
He wasn't so much fussed about making the kill as he was finishing this off. If he could make it as painful as possible for the senshi... well, that was just an added bonus, now wasn't it?

Moving with almost preternatural quickness, Bixbyite leapt for the fallen senshi, aiming her knees for the soft flesh of his abdomen. A bruise was already forming on her forehead from where she'd connected and was spreading down to give her a black eye. This, combined with the livid red of her burned face created a ghastly effect on the usually cute female.
Grinning she reached out to grab Guneus' collar in one hand, the other hovering over his chest.
"Tell me, Senshi," she was nearly purring, "do you know what a starseed is? How about I show you?"
Provided that the senshi didn't escape their grasps, he was about to feel exactly what it was like to have his starseed grabbed and painfully squeezed. And Bixbyite was going to make sure that he suffered as much as possible.

Guneus's eyes were wide and darting from face to face in a panicked rabbit sort of way. Of course he knew what a starseed was! He wasn't born yesterday.
But oh, he was down. He was down for the count and he just wanted to go home and curl up under his lucky rocket ship sheets and sleep for an age... If only these two weren't sitting on him. Bixbyite's knees in his gut made him squirm, but it was a futile effort. He was spent - he'd over-exhausted himself on the light beams and his rib shards were poking his lungs.
He coughed. There was a girl crouched on his diaphragm. He coughed more, a bloody spray coating the girl's arm. It was close, so close, and he knew what was coming next.
Guneus wanted to look away. He really did, but if he looked away then he'd be a coward. What was it they always told you about shots? Just take a deep breath and count to ten and it'll be over before you know it.
But that was never true.
He was still looking. There was a hand in his chest. Guneus screamed in agony.

Traces of a manic grin began to form upon Kremersite's face as he realized that the tide was turning in their favor. It didn't seem to deter him one bit that Guneus was looking straight at them; in fact, the smirk seemed to grow, as an attempt to make the senshi's last sight on earth as horrible as he possibly could, "I'll be seeing you around, then mate," the words were chuckled harshly as Bixbyite sank her hand into the boy's chest.
It didn't seem to matter one bit that he wasn't doing the star seed yanking himself. His expression radiated extreme glee at the idea that yes, he was taking down a senshi, and man did it feel good. It didn't matter that technically, he was holding the boy down while his partner slowly tortured him to death; oh, no. As far as he was concerned, he was as much responsible for this all as Bixbyite was, and tell truth, he was feeling tons better than he had at the start of patrol that night.
It wasn't that he was getting off on it, per say, but he was finding the exertion to be horribly therapeutic. Idly, he wondered what that made him, but shoved the notion to the back of his mind so he could imprint the look of fear and anguish on the senshi's face, into his memories. Now, whenever he saw Amara on that hospital beds and felt like he wanted to cripple someone, all he had to do was look back on this.
This felt nothing like yanking a civilian star seed but then, he figured it had to do with power balance. It was almost like comparing taking on a kitten, instead of an adult lion, "Bixy, we need to get out of here. Fast," he could still remember the one time he and Amara had drawn near to yanking a senshi star seed and how they'd been interrupted at the very last second - he did not want a repeat of that scene, "End it!" it was clear he did not enjoy the thought of ending it so soon, but he'd learned the hard way to not count his chickens before they hatch.

Sighing in resignation, Bixbyite nodded and closed her finger around the boy's starseed, cutting short the torture time. It was true that it was better to end such things quickly, but still! Then again, she thought as she began to draw the starseed from the senshi's chest, it was also true that the boy hadn't been punished nearly enough for hurting her.
With a final yank, she withdrew the starseed, holding it as gently as she would a newborn chick. Holding it where the senshi could see it, she decided that mental torture would have to suffice. Admiring the sheen, she traced the starseed's lines with a gentle fingertip.
"Beautiful, isn't it, Senshi?" she asked quietly. "It shines so much more brightly that a normal person's."
Then, she closed her fingers around it, blocking it from sight as she edged off of the fallen enemy, smiling.
"Just know that this is going to a much better cause than yours. I think it will help make a strong youma for our Queen. THink on that, Senshi!"

Guneus sputtered like a fish out of water as the pain was abruptly cut short. There was only a cold feeling in his chest, like ice water dumped into his veins. It was spreading, tingling down his spine, sending shivers down his arms a legs. Now, instead of feeling everything, he couldn't feel anything- just the dull weight of the girl on his chest and the chill in his veins.
He gazed with sick fascination at the stone she had pulled from his chest, his face bathed in its strange glow.
"Give that back---" he struggled, but the words came out a rasp. He was having trouble getting his jaw to work, and once she closed her hand around it and spirited it away, out of sight, his strength vanished entirely.
For early June, thought Guneus deliriously, it had gotten oddly cold. He couldn't feel his hands, he couldn't feel his toes- Cold, so cold...
But, oh, if he went towards the light... It was warmer now.
Sailor Guneus has died.

He couldn't help the way his smirk widened when Guneus sputtered, nor could he help the light chuckle that emerged forth when he spoke out in a rasp, "Finders keepers, man," he told the senshi before he grew still, "Finders keepers," releasing the other boy's body, he turned to glance around the school yard, making sure there were no other senshi around; he did not particularly want another fight before they had time to turn the star seed in.
"Man, what the ******** was up with his attack anyways?" the smirk was gone now as he took a step back and lifted his arm to asses the damage done on it; it still particularly stung and it felt like he'd dropped boiling water on it, and it looked like he'd left the skin out in the sun for too long, "That's annoying... I just got rid of the cast on it too. At least it's not broken," at least the fact they had nabbed the seed made him feel a ton better.
Again he took a moment to survey his surroundings, checking for energy signatures, but felt none in the immediate proximity, "Are you okay?" he felt like he had to ask; he'd technically been luckier than Bixbyite. She sported a rather specific sunburn on her face. He neared her and crouched by her side, beside the fallen senshi, "M'sorry I couldn't help you. Maybe we should power down and go get this checked out at the hospital; what do you say?" he'd wanted to get back to the hospital anyhow, so this was just as fine, "Mmm? 'Kay? I can stop by and check on 'Mara while I'm there. Been wanting to get back," he stood again, and this time offered her his hand to take.

Taking the offered hand, Bixbyite smiled gratefully and pulled herself up. Carefully tucking the precious starseed into a pocket in her skirt, she then used her free hand to gingerly assess the damages to her face. Even the light brushing of fingertips along the bruise and burns made her wince.
"Eh, I'll live. And it's all right. It's my fault you got hurt too. So, I'm sorry also. And thanks for that, by the way." she glanced at him from the corner of her eye before powering down.
"The hospital would be a delightful idea. We can say we got mugged by terrorists or something. I do want to get our prize back as soon as we can. But not before you check on your friend."
Alairi was quite firm on that point. She'd promised him that they'd go see his friend once they'd finished. And she was not about to break that promise. Especially after he'd taken a hit for her.
"And you can call me Bixy if you like. Or Ri-ri when I'm like this. I think you more than earned it."
Soft, friendly laughter echoed around the schoolyard as she gave her partner's hand a gentle tug and started for the hospital.

"Eh, don't touch it. It looks like a nasty sunburn, so you might wanna keep your hands away from your face," he lifted his hurt hand and frowned at it; of course he'd gotten burned in like... the only part of his ******** body that wasn't covered by cloth. Geesus, just his luck. Next time he got the bright idea to take a hit for someone, he was going to have to remember that his hands were not covered by cloth and that he should use his... something else other than his hands, damnit.
It'd come naturally to him though, and he didn't regret it. Besides, it was all good, since they'd technically won, right? Right, "Awesome sauce," he told her as he gave her hand a yank to pull her to her feet; she was actually his same height, so it was a lot easier than he was used to. He was used to the fact everyone and their mothers were taller than him after all, "Let's find an alley, power down and get back to the hospital. We can take our little treasure to the Queen after they've had a look at us. We'll just tell them we had a run-in with.... a..." he paused and wrinkled his nose in thought, "I don't know - what the hell burns like this?" he turned just in time to see her power down, and he blinked, "Uhm, okay. That totally works too," he followed suit, now back in his normal everyday clothes, "Creighton," he offered, "I'm sorry, I don't have a nickname."
He allowed her to give him a tug, then placed his hands inside his pockets before following after her, "Ri-ri? Where'd that name come from?" he seemed amused, but then again, he had a soft spot for cute, and that name was cute as hell, "Actually, she's my girlfriend. Which is why I was feeling... uhm, upset before," technically, he'd been rather jerky, "But really, I'll patrol with you any time you wish. You rock."
