Painite's eyes narrowed when she heard her compatriot howl in agony. Her expression fell from mocking and almost amused to furious in a heart beat. She gripped her javelin, planting a foot on Camelot's now mostly prone form, yanking the weapon free from the man in a spray of blood and gore. Links of chain mail clattered on the alley floor as the howls of pain, both from Alunite and Camelot, faded into echoes.
"Alright, Senshi, that's enough," she growled, gripping the bloody staff and charging at him as he charged her. She didn't like that he had taken a second shot at Alunite, and she wasn't going to let him go for a third. She jabbed her javelin forward at him, almost like she was aiming for his fist. Of course ,that was a small target and she was more than happy to stab him in the chest, as well.
Anything to get him away from Alunite. It seemed the two had the same goal, in the end, though they were fighting on opposite sides of the war. Defend their own. They clashed like titans, two immovable forces, one calling itself good, the other playing evil. Yet they could still be so similar, when it came to the people they cared about.
"Time to die, Senshi!" Painite yelled as she charged, as if she had all the time in the world to get her words out, "Or maybe I'll let you live long enough to see me rip the starseed out of your friend there. Maybe I'll make you eat it."
Camelot was barely conscious, and couldn't do anything to help Themis as he fought.

Oh, didn't like seeing her own actions in reverse, didn't she ?
He didn't get the time to send that snark flying - he might have the advantage of raw power, but she had the advantage of the pointy, stabby object.
It also made it pretty impossible to stop and get any magic going. Themis moved at the last possible moment, smashing right into the side of the spear - sending it flying through the air. Then, he used the momentum to flip and try to smack her in the neck area.
This wasn't looking good so far.
Alunite was faring little better than Camelot at this point, through he was a little more conscious - and under more pain than he'd been his whole life. You know you were ******** when it simply hurt to breathe.
He vision was blurring, darkness creeping on the edge, but it was all too easy to see the outcome from the blurs of black and brown.
Alunite bit down his lip, hard enough to draw blood, then forced his arms to spead. "Umbra..." His chest was on fire, and he almost expected it to explode at any moment. "...Eclipse..."
He prayed to whatever god that might have existed that it would work, that his damn attack would just go off in spite of everything.

Painite let out a colorful string of very British swears when her javelin was sent flying from her grip. She never liked being without it. She hated when senshi even touched it, in fact, and the fact that this one had hit it away from her just infuriated her further. She could summon it back to her hand, but she was immediately distracted when she was struck in the neck.
"Blerck!"
What the noise might have been intended as was anyone's guess. It fell short of any real word. She stumbled, but was already turning with the force of the adrenaline and anger coursing through her. Her body wouldn't let her give up, and her will wouldn't allow for it, either.
But then she got a chance. She heard Alunite mumble his attack and with it aiding her she could at least react as quickly as her impulses would allow. She darted to the side and then attacked Themis almost from behind, dragging her knee forward as she leaped at him, slamming it into his lower back as hard as she could. At the same time, she swung her fist for the side of his face, though it might not have been the most graceful, accurate or even powerful punch she had ever thrown, while the other hand held on to his shoulder to help her with her knee/kick. She shoved him for extra measure before leaping away to get herself to Alunite and get them both out of there.
"Don't think this is over, Senshi," she growled, gripping Alunite's shoulder as she spoke, obviously to Themis, "I'll be back for you and that knight." And then they were both gone, the Captain using her energy to teleport both of the battered servants of the negaverse away from the battle.

One second she'd been right in front of him.
The next, she was gone.
He didn't even get time to realize what had happened - a punch came out of ******** nowhere, then a kick, then her voice -
And then, the corrupt was gone. With his accomplice in tow. he assumed, through he remained ready a moment, just to make sure.
But no, the two auras were gone. Themis finally relaxed, ignored the sting coming from his face, then knelt near Camelot. He could relate on this, ironically enough, through the agent had stabbed him through an arm, not a leg.
The negaverse had a love for stabbing, apparently.
It was hard to see if Camelot was conscious, but he still spoke. "Better get you to the hospital..."

Camelot was struggling to stay conscious, and losing the battle. Darkness was creeping into the corners of his already well passed blurred vision. The pain in his body was more than he had ever experienced, and it was like his mind didn't know how to process it. That was probably shock, of course.
He felt much better when the two auras had vanished, but that was only a mental comfort. He knew they were gone, that the fight was technically done, but he was still wounded and he was now worried about Themis. Camelot hadn't been able to watch the fight, and he didn't know if Themis had been stabbed or worse.
The word hospital made him nod, and it seemed to be the wrong decision. He slumped forward and passed out, powering down as he did so, leaving it to the senshi to get him the help he needed.
Nate was going to be very pissed when he found out about all this.
