"Whoa."
Chaonis watched the youma, glad he hadn't been in the middle of stomping on it when all those spikes shot out. He would have a brand new hole in his foot, he was sure. And he did not want one. His shoes were cleated, but they couldn't exactly rival those kind of spikes.
He still wasn't worried, however.
"Stay sharp," he told the younger senshi, grinning as he punched his own fist into his other palm. Time to put the youma down for good. He had just about enough of candy for one night. He was not going to let the kid go down without a fight, and kept an eye on him, despite his aloof expression and nonchalant attitude about the battle.
He wanted Ixion to do a lot of the work, and just help when he absolutely had to. How else would the chibi learn?
"Together, then," he said, though he didn't call his magic. He was sure he could handle it without having to power up. After all, he was Super duper. "I'm your back up. Go for it kid! One big attack and I'll follow your lead! Show me what you can do!"

Ixion held his ground as the youma came rushing towards them. The only problem was that it was heading towards Chaonis. Quickly, he summoned a lump of coal "IXION COAL RUSH!"
Lump in hand, he aimed it at the Youma's face again. This time, the lump merely smacked into cheek of the youma and fell to the ground. It left behind a large powdery residue around the youma's cheek and eye, leaving on eye temporarily blinded and blinking furiously. Small black coal particles were stuck in her eye. The effect wasn't much, but it was promptly followed up by Ixion grabbing onto the candied horns of the youma and whipping himself around onto her back.
His feet found space between the youma's back spikes as he essentially stood on her, piggy-back riding around and attempting to steer the youma. The scene looked absolutely ridiculous.

xxxxxIt was on her. Oh Beryl it was on her. the thing had jumped and land smack dab ON HER.
xxxxxNot to mention the youma couldn't even SEE out of one eye. This was becoming rapidly more difficult, and the youma did not like it. She was collapsed on the ground, toppled over from the weight and surprise of the boy's leap. Her left eye was now scratched and tearing thanks to both the soot in her eye and the fall. Pinkish blood now oozed from her arm, accompanied by a few bruises, since her arm broke her fall. The youma grimaced, and then stood up, boy still on back.
xxxxxWith one fluid motion, she both stood up and shook herself hurriedly, making the boy fly off of her, in a random direction. She snarled at the two boys, powdery sugar flying everywhere now.
xxxxxThe youma was quite the sight now. Horns and claws everywhere, cracked candy chipping off, and powdered sugar shaking itself off of her skin and her dress. One eye clenched closed, and her lips pulled in an unnaturally long, chesire-like smile. It was a wonder no one saw this battle. Maybe they just all ran off in terror. Who knew.
xxxxxRegardless, the youma lunged forward, claws extended and horns pointed at the younger boy, who had now safely landed. This youma was pissed, and wasn't afraid to say so.

Chaonis decided to intervene at that point, just in case the youma was getting too violent for its own good. He charged, grabbing onto one of the sugar spikes and yanking the thing backwards. He slammed the youma into the floor before it could reach Ixion again, his face set in a frown.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to pick on kids?"
Said the young man who had shot a small boy with a paintball gun not too long before. But that wasn't the point: at least he wasn't trying to kill the younger senshi.
He only intervened to interrupt the attack, though, giving Ixion a chance to come up with some kind of finishing move. If he couldn't, the Senshi of Danger would gladly help him out with that. Still, he held fast to the idea that this was an important lesson for the kid: and he needed to be the one to beat the youma himself. It would kick him off to a good start, and maybe instill in him a feeling like the one Chaonis got out of fighting the bad guys.
It was fun.

The youma had sent the young senshi flying. Luckily, he landed on a soft patch of grass, sliding across it fairly smoothly until a tree stopped him. There was light thud, but it didn’t really harm the boy. Ixion was quick to jump back up onto his feet in time for the youma to come at him
Taking a cue from the slippery slide he just had, Ixion dived down underneath the youma’s lung and slid back across the grass. As he did so, he once again summoned his power “Ixion Coal Rush!” and fired at the soft belly of the monster.
Using his powers as third time had significantly drained the boy, he wibbled and wobbled has he tried to stand up to see what sort of damage his last attack had done.

xxxxxThe youma felt more bones and horns crack as Chaonis slammed it into the ground. Strange blackish blood mixed with dirt in her mouth. Two of her candies had already fallen off her dress, and disintegrated right there on the grass. She growled something indistinguishable to the boy in response to hit taunt.
xxxxxGripping the grass she stood up haphazardly, sort of waddling side to side. Her vision was incredibly hazy and she realized her life was coming to an end quickly. If only she could have a starseed to recover her strength. That would be nice. She still felt the light pulsation from the two boys' chest where she sensed their starseeds. In her mind she could feel herself gripping around them, eating them, becoming whole again. That was just an illusion though, a hallucination caused by the brink of death.
xxxxxThe the coal hit her in the stomach. It was just a rock. She could've lived past a rock any day. However, she was in no condition to be hit with rocks. Not to mention it hit her right where Chaonis had smashed her down.
xxxxxWith the last of her strength, the youma tossed her candycanes like daggers at the boys, three pointed edges for either of them. She didn't even get to see if they hit or not though, because she was falling onto the ground in defeat. Her existence was wiped out, and she disintegrated into a pile of cinnamon that looked like sand. Then an invisible wind seemed to pick the pieces up and carry them off; the youma was gone.

Chaonis stayed on his guard as Ixion made to attack the youma one more time. He knew using their powers was draining, of course, and the young senshi was looking like he was wearing down. Still, he had to be the one to kill the youma. It was like a rite of passage at this point.
And kill it he did. Chaonis moved when he saw the knives heading toward Ixion, candy not scaring him so much as sharp things hitting young kids was a concern. He moved and managed to get himself between the few that actually might have done damage, the sharp points sticking in his arm. Not terrible wounds, and he winced at the damage, pulling them out and watching them turn to dust.
He looked at Ixion, a cocky smirk on his face. He patted him on the head, nodding.
"Not bad for a kid! You got that thing. Everything still attached? Not going to pass out or cry, are you? There's no crying in being a senshi." Had he made that point already? It hardly mattered, as now he was playing rather than mocking. He felt oddly proud of the younger senshi, and clapped him heartily on the shoulder.

“I’m not going to cry!” Ixion huffed. He wasn’t about to thank Chaonis for getting in the way of the candy spikes. Why should he, if Chaonis was just going to mock him.
The boy tried to cross his arms and turn away from Chaonis, but he was weak enough that he lost his balance and stumbled a bit. His arms flung out to try and keep himself upright, wind-milling to make sure he didn’t fall.
At the same time, he couldn’t tell if he should be proud and accept Chaonis’s compliment, or annoyed at the continued suggestion he was a baby. Still, he couldn't help but smile feebly.

Chaonis reached out to steady the boy, not wanting him to topple over. Being a senshi was draining work, to say the least, and it would only get more difficult from there.
Particularly if Ixion continued to run into Chaonis.
"You should go home, take a nap. Power down when you can, when no one is around and you don't feel any other energy around, or you'll get yourself in a whole lot of trouble. Sure, you'd deserve it, for being dumb, but that's not the point."
He grinned, knowing Ixion wasn't too happy with him, but not really minding that. In his mind, the lesson had been taught, Ixion had proven himself to be tough and capable, and he was sure the kid would remember it in another fight. He'd get better because of it. Chaonis wasn't sure he had ever done anything like that before.
Help someone on... purpose? Without any real need or prompting to? Sure, in an annoying way that was a bit circular and difficult to really count, but it was still more than he had ever done before.
Moving to collect his paintball gun, he grinned.
"I'm not walking you home, but if you ever need to look me up, it's Sailor Chaonis. Senshi of Danger."

“I don’t need you to walk me home. I can manage. I don’t need a baby sitter.”
Ixion wasn’t sure how he felt about Chaonis. It was a fine line between dislike and admiration for his cocky attitude and his skills. If it wasn’t for the fact that he has shot him early, Ixion might actually have liked him. But their new relationship was what it was, Chaonis was a bit of a douche and Ixion was unwilling to admit he needed help from someone like him. Still pulled out his phone, letting it make that satisfactory beep acknowledging that it registered the other senshi. “Just in case, I’ll know who not to call.”
And then he started to walk away, slowly but surely.

Chaonis grinned at the response, nodding his head in approval. It sounded like something he would say.
"Fine," he said, taking out his phone in return. He recorded Ixion's information and held it up with a little shake. "And I'll know who to call when I need some target practice."
With that, he made to head off, checking back over his shoulder to see if Ixion was on his way home, and no other youma were lurking. He couldn't be too sure, even if he didn't care. It was still a kid, after all.
He'd never live it down if anyone found out that he let a kid senshi get killed.
When he was sure things were fine he hopped off and headed for home.
