Mei glanced up at Caitlyn and shook her head "Nope" she replied. Unfortunately she had been too preoccupied with getting her equipment ready that if she did hear anything she would have most likely passed it off as a bird in a bush.
Curiosity struck Mei as the words 'Oh my God' left her friends mouth. Carefully she moved her tri-pod out of the way, propping it up against the tree to her right and setting her camera down next to it before standing up. The sight that greeted her sent a chill up her spine. "What the hell..." she said aloud more so to herself is that a youma? she wondered.
Glancing down at her equipment then up at her friend who was still standing in the tree, Mei realized running really wasn't an option. There was no time to gather her things, and she sure as hell had no intention of leaving Caitlyn behind. Yes she picked up on the 'You should get out' and the lack of 'We should get out of here' "I'm not leaving with out you!" Leaving her camera where she set it, Mei sprinted the short distance between her and the tree, reaching up she offered her hand "Come on!"

I hope this works I apologize for the delay.

Caitlyn frowned. She took Mei's hand and dropped out of the tree very carefully, landing on her feet. "Look, this is going to sound crazy, but leaving me behind - it's not leaving me in danger, okay? I can fight these things."
Titans, youma, who cared. Though she had to admit, she was a little concerned that like a Titan, it was only vulnerable in that small spot on the back of its neck, and without proper 3DMG getting there would be a b***h (never mind how did she even attack a weak point with no weapons?).
"I promise, I'll be okay, but..." She couldn't be sure Mei would be. She took a breath and called up her henshin pen. She didn't have much time - the thing was getting closer, crashing through the trees, and if Mei didn't get going she was going to have to reveal her identity.
Mei’s eyebrows knitted in curiosity when Caitlyn adamantly claimed that she could handle herself, “How?” she asked, unintentionally cutting her friend off “I really don’t mean to doubt the craftsmanship of your weapons but they’re just props…right?”
The sound of the youma running through the foliage, snapping branches in its wake, forced Mei’s attention away from the girl in front of her for a brief moment. Their small window of opportunity to flee was rapidly closing with each passing second. If this monster was anything like the spider she and Phact had dealt with a few nights ago then the two of them had a big problem on their hands. The insistence behind Caitlyn's voice was confirmation enough that she truly had not intention to leave with her, leaving Mei with then the dreaded feeling that the only way the two of them would make it out of this is if powered up.
Looking back at Caitlyn, Mei gave her hand a slight squeeze “I can’t leave you behind.” Summoning her roze quarts and crystal henshin pen, Mei let go of her friends hand and took a step back, “Sidouer power, Make up!” Like ever time before when she powered up, her civilian clothes were replaced with her pink and white fuku. “I’ll take care of it; just find a safe place to hide please.” She gave her friend a weak smile inwardly hoping Caitlyn didn’t view her as a terrorist seeing her in uniform.

"Not talking about these," Cait said, "though they're ironically appropriate right now." If only her 3DMG was real titan-killing material, she could zip up there and cut its weak point and be done. But no, it was all cosplay.
She had never been happier to see a henshin pen in her entire life. She had been afraid to take the titan-youma thing on her own, but with another Senshi by her side - she could do this. She held up her own pen, deep red and silver.
"Persephone asteroid power, make up!" She declared. In a flash of sparkles and magic, Caitlyn become Super Sailor Persephone, clad in her chiton and high heels and looking remarkably ready for battle. "Let's get this thing."
Sidouer stared wide-eyed as her friends cosplay attire was replaced by an outfit befitting a Greek goddess. Initial shock was quickly replaced by an overwhelming amount of relief with the comforting sensation of an Order signature. A part of her wanted to give Caitlyn... no Persephone at least that is what she called herself a moment ago.. a hug, and she would have too had the youma not have chosen that moment to break through the last bush barrier that separated it from them.
The imposing sight of the... 'woah... woah... seriously...' naked ... looking large youma grabbed Sidouer's attention away from her friend. Jumping backwards out of the way, she noted the youma's juggernaut like movements. Built up speed with the added path of destruction coupled with it's height made it hard for the beast thing to slow down and instead run past them a bit. "I hope you have an idea" she called out to the green haired senshi, 'becauseI sure don't..' she thought to herself

Persephone flashed her friend - Sidouer, if she'd heard the henshin phrase right - a grin as she leapt out of the way of the youma. "Depends, what's your magic?" She asked. "I can give us an energy boost - I also do healing, but hopefully we won't need that part." She said.
"Man somebody in the Negaverse watches way too much Attack on Titan that's all I'm saying. Let's hope this thing isn't like a real titan, or we've got one spot to aim for and it'll either be invulnerable or regenerate from attacks anywhere else!"
Sidouer raised an eyebrow at the mention of Attack on Titan. Instead she shrugged her shoulders deciding it would be best to save any questions she had for later.
For now she responded to Persephone's former question. "I can shoot an arch of static at an opponent. Unfortunately I need to be kinda close, my range isn't all that great. I just wish it was darker outside so I could temporarily blind the youma." At the very least it would give them an opportunity to get themselves into place so they could attack this vulnerable spot she spoke of.

"Perfect," Persephone said. "It's weak point will be the nape of its neck - we'll just have to get up there!" She said, a slight grin on her face. The youma shook itself and turned around again, running at them again, and Persephone dodged out of the way.
"I can use my attack, and we can take advantage of the boost in energy and some tree-climbing to get up there. I'll try to distract it while you go for the weak point?"
"Sounds good, I'll head up that tree."She nodded her head towards a fairly tall old tree, just a few paces behind Persephone, that had yet to be demolished by the youma. "If you want to grab it's attention and bring it around so I can hit it, I'll do my best not to miss."

Persephone nodded, and then cupped her hands in front of her. "Pomegranate Blessing!" she called, and three pomegranate seeds appeared in her hand. She took one herself and offered the second to Sidouer, letting the third fall and vanish. "Eat it and you'll have twenty seconds of increased energy. Free bonus - any bumps or bruises you might have are healed." She ate ers and then whistled. "Hey, ugly! Over here!"
Shanyume
Pomegranate Blessing!
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Pomegranate Blessing! Persephone speaks the name of the attack and holds out her cupped hands, in which three pomegranate seeds of energy appear. At the Super stage, Persephone's seeds now heal minor cuts and bruises, as well as giving a 20-second energy boost. Persephone can use this attack once per battle. The seeds will vanish after thirty seconds if not dropped or eaten.
Sidouer accepted the pomegranate seed and with a nod of her head consumed the delicious fruit. The surge of energy was electrifying to her senses like being given a small shot of adrenaline, or so she assumed.
The sound of Persephone's whistle prompted her into action Sprinting the short distance between her and the tree, Sidouer crouched down low before propelling herself upward to land on a thick branch which she then used to springboard upwards till she was at a height even with the youma's shoulders. Her only hope at this point was that her friend could bring it close enough for her to land a successful attack and that it didn't take the tree, with her in it, down.

Persephone saluted Sidouer, and then the youma charged, and the Super Senshi was on the defensive. She dodged, and then rolled between the thing's legs, whistling again to get it to turn around. From what she could tell, it was the right distance from the tree - just a question of getting it facing her so the back of its neck was exposed.
"Come on, pay attention to me! You can't even catch me, can you?" She yelled. That was a bad idea, because apparently it understood her, and it reached out with a massive hand to grab her and pick her up. "Oh. s**t. You can. s**t ******** fuccckkkkk." She started kicking and pounding desperately at the hand, eyes wide. "Sidouer! Are you in a good enough position?"
It was in range at least for a moment, that is, until it decided to pick Persephone up. Now, with the one step it took forward to grab her friend, it stood a good few feet out of range.
Sidouer looked down mentally noting just how far up she was as well as the thickness of the branch she stood on. All she needed to do was to get a small running start maybe 7' away from the tree trunk to spring board herself towards the youma. "Oh please let this work" she said as she backed up pressing her back against the rough bark.
One... two... three... With each step she took, Sidouer could feel the branch beneath her begin to bow beneath her just begging to snap under her weight four... now. In one fluid motion she jumped from the ground into the air rubbing her gloved hands together she called out her attack "STATIC SHOCK" reaching out with her left hand towards the nape of the youma's neck, an arch of static jumped forward hitting it's mark.... she hoped.
jump... check
attack... check
land... didn't think about that
"Ahhholyshit" What she had hoped to accomplish by jumping at the thing was beyond her at this point as she hit the thing squarely in the right shoulder blade effectively stopping her forward moment. Unfortunately the 'Titan' as Persephone called it wasn't wearing any clothes for her to grab onto. Instead, gravity took over as she fell down it's teetering body and hit the ground rather ungracefully. "Ow.."she rolled over "I feel mentally violated.. " the mental image of the youmas butt crack no more than a few feet from her would no doubt scar her for the next few weeks. 'Eww'
"Persephone? Are you ok?" she called out to her friend as she rose to her feet.

As soon as Sidouer's bolt hit the back of its neck, the youma screeched, and a few seconds later it was dissolving into dust. "Oh ******** ******** ********!" Persephone yelped as she fell, and then she hit the ground with a soft "ow."
"I didn't think that through very well," she admitted, feeling a little dizzy. "You okay?" She asked as she pushed herself up, tossing her hair a little to hopefully get some of the dirt out. "God, that was badass as hell," she praised, laughing a little, at least partially from relief. She offered Sidouer a hand, and a smile. "So I gotta ask - are you part of a team, or anything?"
"I'm fine thank you" She accepted Persephone's hand to steady herself. "I don't think anything is broken." She let out a self conscious nervous laugh at the compliment.
Releasing her friends hand she started wiping bits and pieces of the wooded area that clung to her, off her fuku. "Team?" She looked at the green haired senshi, tilting her head questioningly to the side "Not that I'm aware of, or at least nobody has spoken to me about one. Why do you ask?"
