That voice, those words.... That was all Bismuthite needed to know that those they sought were still alive at the moment. Well, minus maybe one or two? Instead of releif though, his pink eyes blazed. The only killing that would be going on would be that of any damnable senshi that got in his way.
He assumed that all this was going on right behind the door. But who knew for sure/ Was it some sort of trick? A recording? Something to rile them up and make them panic? Or was it real? Did everything hinge on simply busting right through that door right here, right now?
Well, either way, Bismuthite was ready to do it.

Alkaid had been waiting, ready for some one around them to step up and take the lead. She was not a leader, she was a weapon, her use to the negaverse lay in her skills - not her leadership capabilities.
Then, beyond that door, she heard the muffled voice of the BMC's leader. Visions of the cinnamon haired parallel flashed through her mind, accompanied by the memory of colorful lights and a tinkling child's song that she still heard when she closed her eyes at night.
"Move, Negaverse," she called back, not waiting or looking to see who would listen to a corrupt senshi. She pushed herself forward, which was more difficult than it seemed with half of her left foot all pins-and-needles and her weight drug down by Fluorite. Regardless of all of this, she pushed through the obstacles and found herself face-to-face with the offending door.
She heard Hiro at her side but had no time to see if he was safe. She was struggling to try and adjust Fluorite so she could open the door, but that was harder than it looked with one half-asleep foot.
"Once this thing is open," she was still struggling, "keep your eye open, Hiro."

Her head felt heavy and just wouldn't stay up. A hand reached up to support her neck, frowning anxiously at the darts that fell from the ceiling and at the others there who had been hit.
"Are you okay??" she asked the others as they got to the door as well. They needed to get out of there, but she couldn't help but be wary about the closed door. What if it was another trap?
And then there was a voice that had Kazite freezing where she stood. Kill...? Some b***h was planning on killing them...? The thought of their efforts being in vain made her blood boil and a new fire grew inside her. Even though she couldn't do much on her own, she was nothing but determined to rescue their comrades.
She nodded as Alkaid opened the door, ready to follow close behind, hoping that more stuff wouldn't be falling from this ceiling as well.

Fluorite went stiff in Alkaid's hold when she heard the voice. They... were still alive !
For now.
Even if she hadn't been basically carried by the corrupted senshi, she would have nonetheless followed. Her hand reached toward the door handle, but then stopped.
What if it was rigged ?
Well.
Alkaid had a nice hold on her, and she looked up at the dreaded senshi. Quick nods were exchanged, and then Fluorite flung herself forward, kicking the door open.

The cat gave a tiny snort of laughter - Alkaid had already adjusted her words for him, 'eye' open, indeed. His good humour faded quickly as he prepared himself for what might lie beyond the door. Nothing good, he was sure.
"Always," he reassured Alkaid. She didn't have to watch out for him - he was the one watching out for her.
He crouched low, ears back and tail lashing, ready to dart in and bite someone ankles if he had to. No one expected the kitty assailment!

The door swung open without a hitch, and the rescue team moved forward into the dimly lit room. It was dank inside, and if someone touched the walls, they would be wet. Water dripped from the ceiling. At first, the Negas might have feared it was another weapon against them -- but, no. It was just water, even if it smelled vaguely like wood and leaves. A flash of red hair whipped past the opposite end of the room, disappearing through yet another mirror. There was another senshi there too, but she was gone before anyone could lift a finger to attack. Once they all stepped into the room, the door slammed shut. There was something in the center of the floor: a book. Who would pick it up? ROLLING TO DETERMINE WHO IS CURIOUS ENOUGH TO APPROACH THE BOOK. Lt. Bismuthite stepped forward, though he might not have even been sure why he did it. It was as if someone was making him do it. The pink-eyed Nega stopped and lifted the book. He read the title once, twice, and then turned slowly to show it to the rest of the group: Every Nega in the room stared at the cover. When their eyes finally broke away, they would discover that they were not exactly who they remembered being -- and neither was anyone else in the room. EVERYONE EXCEPT BISMUTHITE MUST ROLL ONE 6-SIDED DIE. ODD NUMBERS WILL FIND THAT THEY NOW LOOK, SOUND, AND FEEL LIKE EDWARD CULLEN. ALL EVEN NUMBERS WILL DISCOVER THAT THEY HAVE TRANSFORMED SUDDENLY INTO JACOB BLACK.
BISMUTHITE CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE SEEMS TO BE LOOKING AT HIM -- BECAUSE, SERIOUSLY, NO ONE SEEMS TO BE LOOKING AT HIM AT ALL.

Pandora answered the call to arms almost immediately - she was angry that this goddamned Senshi faction had caught some of their people and excited to be party to the rescue. Teams had been arranged and she followed General Serandite and Captain Sassolite along with a bevy of Lieutenants like herself, including Bismuthite, whom she knew from Elysion (by face only, really).
Once inside...the place stank of senshi: empty and soulless, just like those planetary rapists. At least, until the mirror got smashed and darts went flying around willy-nilly; each one striking her compatriots in various places. She'd been hit in her right arm, but she just ripped the dart from her arm, tucked it carefully into a pocket on her bolero jacket for later and moved on. If her arm was numb, so much the better. Her mask was tied and wouldn't go anywhere...and she could beat the hell out of a senshi just as well without having sensation.
It might even help, who knew.
Bismuthite had gone for the book first - Moonstone's eyes felt glued to the cover...and suddenly she felt, just a little different. Upon further inspection of her strangely tingling limbs...she discovered that she no longer had breasts. "What the hell is going on!?"
Moonstone's voice wasn't her own - oh god, how weird and creepy! She blanched momentarily - the transformation into a rugged, tanned young man (that kind of wanted a bone to gnaw on) tilted her world on it's side.
Only the soft echo of Sailor Ares words in her mind snapped her out of it - female or not, she was still going to rescue the other Negaversers!

Ahaha. How that's for demolition service ?
Once her helpful argument had been put forth, she followed along with Alkaid inside - and then her glance trailing Bimuthite quietly as he want for the book.
The hell was a book doing there ?
When he held it out, however, she was looking at it - transfixed, and then...
And then, well. ...Wait, was this sparkles ?

Hiro approached the book carefully, sniffing as he went. It was hard to smell anything over the mildew, and the faint scent of wet leaves. There was something about the book, though... Something strange...
And suddenly Hiro was balancing on two legs instead of four and the room seemed much smaller. His paws didn't move as they should. Something was very wrong with his centre of gravity. And with his voice, as he discovered when he said, "What just happened?"
He turned to look at Alkaid, hoping she could tell him what was going on. Only Alkaid wasn't there any more. None of the Negaversers were. Instead there were multiple copies of the same two guys. One of them seemed to be sparkling...
Hiro squinted. That hurt his eyes - oh god, he had two eyes! He raised his... hands? ... and checked. Yep, definitely two of them. Huh.
"I object to all the sparkling," he said eventually. One eye would have been bad enough, but with two, there was suddenly double the pain.

Proustite recognized that voice. He had fled from it once and escaped, narrowly, with his life. The memories he had of Sailor Ares were far from good ones. It made sense, considering all that he had heard, that she would be a part of the Blood Moon Court.
Swearing softly under his breath, Proustite took a cue from Bismuthite and collected a couple of darts from the floor. Their effects were not extreme. He could still walk, despite those sagging butt cheeks, but hey, Jack was an opportunist.
Wasting was just silly.
He hesitated a moment and then pocketed a leftover (and sharp) shard of glass from the mirror Alkaid had destroyed.
"Wait," he said and raised his voice in a bossy sort of way, "We can't just open the door without--
A plan. They needed a plan. Oh, s**t was going to hell if Proustite was the only one with caution in mind. Time was of the essence, he knew. There were lives to save. But all of their effort would be for naught, if haste meant their destruction.
But there, the door was opened. Proustite, sure that some homicidal chick in heels was going to kick him in the face, ducked reflexively.
Except.
There were no screams of pain, or howls of war. There was only the sound of dripping water, their collective breath...
And a book.
"Huh," he cocked an eyebrow, and stared at the novel Bismuthite gripped in his hands, "I didn't see that coming."

Bismuthite was glad to let the ladies go first into the room, lest there be a trap waiting on the other side. However there seemed to be no one waiting to attack them, though he wanted to lunge forward and grab a fist full of that cinnamon colored hair as it went through the mirror. Mid-step he sneered. Then his eyes were drawn to something on the ground. A book.
He picked it up, read the title a couple times, then showed it to hims team mates.
And that was when things got weird.
THE HELL!?

Kazite followed the others into the room, her hand instinctively reaching out to touch the wall to make sure she knew there was a solid surface to hold on to.
"UGH!!" she yelped, quickly pulling her hand away and wiping it on her grey dress. "What the hell?! The wall is wet! Gross!!" That was disgusting! She really, really hoped it was water, because she didn't exactly have a restroom to go and wash her hands in.
Looking up, she watched as a fellow Lieutenant moved to the center of the room, reaching out to pick up the book in the middle of the floor...
A book...? What was a book doing there...?
And not just any book... but... Twilight...?? Were the Senshi serious??
But, before she even knew it... something inside her was changing... She... she felt powerful...

Alkaid was relieved when Bisthmutite went forward and inspected the book - she couldn't keep supporting Fluorite and try to do that too, despite that gnawing curiosity she felt whenever she saw something so suspicious.
"Someone needs to bust that mirror," she called out, but as she turned back to look at what Bis was doing, the book he was showing the rest of his team drew her attention away from the mirror.
What?
Alkaid was suddenly aware of a deep, loathing self hatred and cramps in her stomach that reminded her of "that" time of the month. What was more disconcerting was the fact that she seemed to be.. sparkling? Everything about herself was confusing and disorienting. Where had all her hair gone?
Then she remembered that she was on a mission, she had someone to rescue: her purple-haired bella.
"We need to keep moving," she called out to the ragtag group of vampires and werewolves, "we can't stop now." There was an urgency in her voice that was no there before and her eyes, an ironic amber color from the start, were now intense and moody as she stared longingly down the hallway she'd last seen that senshi go.

No... no, Kazite understood... She knew her purpose...
"Bella?!" she called out, suddenly in a panic, a hand reaching up to dramatically sweep her hair out of her eyes. "Bella, can you hear me?? I'm coming for you!" She needed to find her — it was her only purpose in life! Dear, dear Bella... so beautiful and so delicious. The forbidden fruit that she wanted. Kazite must find her.
She crouched low to the ground, all cat-like, murmuring softly to herself, "I'll find you, Bella... Don't worry." As if this Bella of hers could actually hear her. She sniffed the air, trying to pick up the scent of her blood. That lovely scent she so loved... It was mouthwatering, but no! She couldn't go near it! She couldn't hurt Bella... hurting Bella wasn't worth an eternity alone...
But... Nothing...
If only Alice had foreseen this! They could have avoided getting separated! Kazite closed her eyes, still close to the ground, trying to hear the thoughts of others in the woods... Nothing... Why were her powers not working?! Why couldn't she heard anyone's thoughts?! This was madness!

xxxxxMyalite was pissed. Already she was rather late for the rescue party, thanks to a pesky senshi that halted her on the way in, but now she also had to deal with some book that was lying on the ground. Her white hair stood in stark contrast when compared with the darkness that lay in the inside of the building. As the door snapped shut, Myalite turned quickly to match the noise. She wasn't phased in the least; of course the senshi would lay traps for them. To do otherwise would be suicide.
xxxxxShe looked to see what everyone was staring at with her big pink eyes. It was some book. Some of the negas had already started shouted things, and Myalite realized what book it was. "Oh Twilight I love that boo-" she started, but was cut off. Suddenly she felt inexplicably hot, like her temperature was rising with the flu. The odd thing was though, that she felt completely comfortable with the temperature. She had the odd desire to rip off her clothes, but realizing this was indecent, she only removed her jacket. This removal left her with a black cami tank top left to guard her top half.
xxxxxMyalite turned to Kazite and said, "No Kazite, she must pick me. I'm the one who can really make her happy!" She turned back to the impending darkness and shouted, "Here that Bella! I'll save you and make you mine." With a snarl she walked a few paces ahead of the group, to save her precious Bella.
