"That's fine." He said, voice wavering. What if there was something there ? What if she got hurt ?
What if... What if.
"I'll wait over here." He said. Over here was apparently under the table, because that was right where he went. Panic was already spreading.

Outside, unaware that she was noticed by a fellow skirted being (though on the wrong side!) She continued to take energy... she noticed the bodies started to fall behind her, so she tried to..lessen a little. Unfortunately for her, the humans were not stupid. They were stepping out of her range. If she were a general, she could still zap them. But being a senshi, she could not control it as well. She NEEDED to be close...
Cutting off the energy taking, she looked down at the small orb in her palm. The energy of six people, not a whole not but...enough. It was compiled into one orb. It was....beautiful.
She was just about to put it in the negaspace, when a sound behind her caused her to turn.

Finding a place to change in the middle of chaotic terrified civilians was surprisingly easy. It went more or less by the idea that Eye witnesses could be your best AND worst resource. A potted plant corner later and she was Henshined up and heading out to meet the source of the terror...
She thought she was ready... she wasn't.
"Lyra!" She said in wide eyed alarm. Why...why did it have to be her old friend? She wanted to save her not fight her... to this day she still couldn't believe that they had found a way to sink their 'claws' into her.

Under his makeshift hiding place, Daniel unfortunately had a good view of the chaos. People were hiding or leaving, which left a wide open view of the scene unfolding in front of him.
...The other one had a skirt. And some unbelievably long hair. And... Mu seemed to know her.
Crap. This could... be bad.
One hand tugged on the table cloth, until one of the knives fell down. He still had no idea how her attack worked... Hell, he had no idea how all this damn madness worked. But if he could help.... He would.

Eyebrows drawing together, it appeared as if the senshi was squinting as she caught sight of whatever called her. What she thought was a noise, was actually a aura that peaked her attention. It flared up behind her suddenly, suggesting there was a senshi in the area once in human form.
Just her luck, eh?
Even more so, this was one she had seen and felt before. Narrowing once more... she could not recall the name of this one. "You were the one whom attacked my friend." Of course, she meant Ilmenite.

"We fought, you're friend and I... twice now, you were my friend once, you shouldn't do this, you're hurting them, robbing them...you used to stand against this Lyra... please, it's not too late."
She shook her head hoping that she might listen, that it might pass without a fight. Oh if only... she knew there was a way to purify but she had no idea how.

...Yeah, this was starting to sound personal. Daniel frowned, not daring to go any closer. Perhaps he shouldn't even be listening at all...
So this girl used to be good, but now wasn't ? Robbing them ? What was going on ?
Yeah, poor Daniel wasn't quite following.

Her fist clamped a little tighter around the energy gem in her palm. If they were fragile, it probably would have broken with that touch. Possibly the energy would have even screamed... glowed brighter. Thankfully, it didn't do any of these things. This 'friend' attacked Ilmenite twice and she was not there to help? Sure... the captain could hold his own, but the thought of this girl flinging her attack at him just boiled her bones.
One could say she was becoming over protective...
"Not too late?" She let out a slight laugh, a familiar expression spreading on her face, Mu should know that look well... but for a familiar look, it did not meet her eyes. "Friend? Us? Friends? Maybe at one point, for all i know you are just some senshi scum trying to confuse me. The last 'FRIEND' i supposedly had, almost killed me." Of course she meant Ares, but she would not say that name. Not now. "Some friendship, huh? Means enough for my 'friends' to kill me... and even for my 'FRIENDS' to attack my family. Twice." Lyra let the sting of her last words raise her a few octaves in her voice.
She looked now towards the people sleeping on the ground, gaze lingering for a moment... "I did not hurt them. Their energy will merely go to a greater cause.... getting the senshi taint off the planet. I am working on fixing the sins i caused.... what are you doing?" Lifting her hand, the energy disappeared into some sort of void. Her collection not going unspoiled....
The purple haired boy hiding under the table did not go unnoticed. Though she flicked her eyes back to mu just as quickly.

"Trying to make sure no one else is lost to this war, I know that... some of you are saying we did terrible things, I think I... know who would have done them too, but it doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it all of us... I want my friend Lyra... please... PLEASE!"
She shook her head and held out her empty hands. "Please...what about your family? What about your old team... don't you still want to help -them-? we could talk... we could talk there must be someone who could help." She hoped.

"The past is gone, i only need look to the future.." She said it, shaking her head. "I remember nothing of a old team, a old family." She paused... eyes now on the boy once more. Of everyone whom fled... why was he staring and looking back and forth between them? He stayed, that must have meant something.
"You say we are evil. You say we are the black to your white... the yang to your yin. There is no grey here, i do not walk the lines. I will protect only my own family, and it does not include anything from my past." Still, deep inside something hurt... this whole conversation was hurting the senshi on a pirmal level. While she could not feel it... a sudden realization came with it.
Lyra had her goal... all it took was someone whom claimed they knew her from her past to do it. She knew what she had to do. While she still saw herself as a protector... there is only one way she would ever be truly free of her past. Mu cephei... Ares...Castor... She must kill any senshi whom claims they ever knew her.
An instant later, Mu cephei would have felt her teleport behind her... she was only gone for a split second. Then, in almost a few eye blinks, the red haired girl was back in front of the sailor. Only this time, lyra had a hold of the boy that was hidden under the table. He was a hell of a lot taller than her, more than two heads.... but she still well enough had one of his arms pinned behind his back, gripping it. Any struggling would have resulted in a tighter grip from her.

It all happened so fast.
One moment the long-haired girl was over then, then the next she was right at him, then he was suddenly on the other side of the room with his stomach trying to switch places with his brain.
The girl was small... tiny even... But she had an iron-grip on him. He did attempt to struggle, if only on reflex, but no matter what he did, it didn't help.
So Daniel comically all but felt limp, much like a animal playing dead. Maybe if he wasn't struggling she would loosen her grip.
Of course, no matter what, he had no chance. He just didn't know that.

Her eyes widened and she had to stifle a gasp at what just happened...Lyra... taking a prisoner... she had to keep him from being known as someone she ... cared about.
"You you you you." She mocked waving her hands. "LISTEN to you... "You say this...and 'you say that'...do you ever LISTEN to yourself, you're attributing things to ME that -I- never said because it's CONVENIENT for your argument. You're assigning the Senshi a mindset of a unified font when we are the LEAST organized thing going in this...ridiculous War but it's so much EASIER to have this... TINY MINDED little argument...did your brains get drawn out to threads to make that... ridiculous new hair of yours?!" She demanded in a hot fury she hadn't even been aware she could quite tap.
"The past is gone..." She spat... "Those who don't LEARN from it are condemned to repeat it... NO one has stopped to ask if this happened before...and I think it did... Look at our worlds!! Oh... you don't remember them...its PAST... but I would lay MONEY that this kind of RIDICULOUS WAR happened there too... I bet we wiped each other out because we all kept saying 'YOU SAID' every five minutes."
She stood huffing for a moment.
"... hiding... behind a civilian too curious to leave... what's become of you, is that part of your new... 'noble' ideal to save the world?... you want to start something put him down and show me what you've got to offer..."

It was rather funny, the height difference between the two of them... and yet Lyra knew she had a firm grip on the man. He wasnt going anywhere... ironically enough, he did not seem to struggle.
Good.
She really did not want to break the mans arm, but if she had to? So be it. Her other arm that was free, she waved it from behind Daniel. Must look funny from Mu's angle. "How would i know or not things you have said or not. HOW? Tell me that... Mu... Mu? The hell just Moo then." She couldnt remember the girls complicated name, so she would just think 'cows go moo'.
Giving a sigh of irritation, the corrupted senshi gave a bit of a kick to the back of the boys knees which sent the much taller man to the ground. He was still like the jolly green giant to her, but now she could at least keep a better grip and see OVER him. Only problem was she made a amateur mistake, still learning this all over again. She let go of his arm and instead death gripped one shoulder.
"Yes..... Moo. The past is gone." She gave a small smile, a bit of a girlish one. Resembling something from the past without the red head even knowing it. It was a knowing smile, it made her wonder if the white moon senshi even knew how much Lyra did not. "Hard to learn from a past i can not even remember. You want to know so badly why i believe all i hear about you white moon senshi? You said you want to save me?" She hissed back, venom seeping into her words. Something showing its ugly head out of her darkened soul. " You are not the last senshi whom i have met whom claims to have known me. The last time i met one? I nearly met my end on the end of a metal pipe, in someone i apparently used to call my 'leaders' hands. You wonder why i do not trust you? Why i claim to know things you deny? Because i dont believe you." She would let Mu come to her own conclusions as to who held the metal pipe. My would have known about both leaders in her past, but which would it be...?
A idea was slowly slipping into the senshis mind... one that she had not yet previously thought about. It was something she would need to give tender thought to, and something she would need to approach her superiors about.

Quiet and still... quiet and still... Don't look at her. Don't hint the psycho girl that he knew Mu, and that Mu knew him... Don't move... Don't do a thing...
That lasted until the kick happened. Then... the inevitable did. Daniel panicked. He suddenly noticed the iron grip on his was gone, and then he did the only thing he could think of.
He shoved himself forward, scrambled on his feet, and ran. He ran straight out. Hopefully Ume would forgive him, but... panic took over. Panic too over every fiber of his being.
Crazy lady could have so easily killed him.
He had made it out of the restaurant when he suddenly stopped.
A crystal was in front of him. Small and multifaceted, glimmering under the lights of the streetlamps. Beautiful, eerie... Tempting.
Chris' warning toward random floating objects came to mind, but... what if crazy lady came for him ? What if she did the weird a** thing again ?
...Good lord, he didn't want to die.
One hand reached out for the crystal floating in front of him, and a new energy signature flared up.
A knight's energy signature.

Relief, pure relief that she dared not let show on her face when he broke free, what else was there to feel when she prayed he was now safe.
“I am not the one who tried to kill you Lyra…” She murmured. Her voice soft and she spread her arms again trying to push aside the anger. “Let it go…please. Listen to me; if I wanted to try and kill you…wouldn’t I have finished my attack? If I were so blood thirsty why didn’t I take the civilian with me?”
She paused, eyes darting for a moment to feel that odd sort of energy again, she’d only felt it the once before. She was new to the world of knights and pages. New to their feel and their magic and the greyer nature of their morality, she might have envied it had she known.
“Lyra… please.” She repeated, she didn’t want to be the first to attack someone who had till late, been so dear to her.
