Puck clenched his gut in anticipation of the punch, which hit hard, harder than he'd ever been hit in a fight before. The force of the blow sent the senshi reeling backward, pinwheeling his arms to keep his balance -- to his credit, though, he didn't fall on his a**. Fun magical strength enhancements, the short guy had said. Did that mean he had them too? Hell, Puck still wasn't entirely sure he had any kind of strength enhancement. Well, he'd be finding out soon enough. Recovering from the attack, the blond senshi barked a sarcastic laugh. "Is that all you got? I bet the ********' cat could hit harder than that!" He didn't want to admit that the small Dark Mirror had actually done any damage to him. He was going to have some lovely bruises once all was said and done. Setting himself in a bulldog-like stance, he charged the smaller man like a rugby player. He grabbed one of the guy's shoulders to hold him still and pulled back a fist, intending to clock the little guy in the jaw. That'd shut his cake-hole for sure.

A shouting match wasn't quite what Faust had in mind, and the feline frowned grumpily (for as much as cats could frown). And Faust wasn't particularly perturbed by the bluenette slinging insults his way, as he'd handled youma far bigger than this shrimp of a kid. In fact, Faust padded around toward the back of their enemy while he continued to approach Puck, and decided this was a prime opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Faust took a running leap when Elsa started into his run and aimed for the moving legs as a target. If he could latch on with kitty claws bared and bite the absolute s**t out of his leg, that might jam up his attack enough to stop him from doing much damage. Rob might need some help on the fighting front, Faust wasn't certain how much experience he had, so the feline wanted to help where he could.
Besides, his kitty beam stood as a last resort measure and the only other method of attack he had.
Really Faust just wanted to chew through some Chaos b*****d's leg. That sounded like prime bragging rights.

Elsa felt a little glow of pride when the Senshi stumbled back, but he didn't have long to feel accomplished, because there was a hand on his shoulder and a fist contacting his jaw. Yeah, he was going home with a crazy giant bruise, but it was gonna be worth it. He hadn't been tangled in a good old-fashioned brawl yet as a Senshi, and here one was right in front of him.
So even though it hurt like hell, he was grinning. A good fight was exactly what he needed, and a perfect reason to completely avoid ******** around with his magic.
He was halfway through going to shift to aim an elbow at the other man's chest, when cat claws and teeth sank into his leg. The attack was blunted by cloth, but - "Ow, ********!" He swore, and he kicked his leg in an attempt to get the cat off him.
"You Order ******** don't play fair!"

Puck was grinning too as his fist connected with the small Dark Mirror's jaw. He had been seriously itching for a good old-fashioned punch-up for months. And this was filling the bill nicely. There was nothing as satisfying as the crack of knuckles against bone and meat. He didn't think he'd been in a fight this good even back in London, and he'd been in more than a few there. He was bracing himself for another attack, fist rearing back in anticipation of landing another blow on his little blue-haired opponent, when Faust leapt into the fray with sharp kitty teeth and claws, attaching himself like a big black-furred remora to the Dark Mirror's leg and disrupting the small man's momentum. Causing him a lot of pain too, no doubt. Puck laughed wickedly as he reset himself and threw another punch at him. Faust was a good kitty. "No, we don't ******** play fair at all!" Puck had no idea what he was talking about, having no basis for comparison since he'd just awoken. It sounded good, though.

Faust flailed about on the man's leg, unable to maintain his grip through soft flesh and cloth. From the force of it alone, the large furbag flew off wholesale and smacked into a nearby trash can, falling inside. But the aluminum tin could not hold its balance - the bin lurched precariously before spilling over onto its side and evacuating its contents. The cat emerged then, seemingly unscathed save for a slice of raw chicken stuck to his back, and started toward the fray once more.
"You lost yo' damn right to a fair fight when you started drainin' innocent people, ********!" The cat declared proudly. Ears flatted against his skull while he darted in for a second strike.
This time he leapt toward Elsa's face, and in Matrix fashion, Faust felt the world slow to a nigh crawl while arms stretched for tanned features.Noir Songbird here have a face hugger wait wrong fandom

Sending a cat flying into a trash can was not going to be Elsa's proudest moment as a Sailor Soldier, but at least he wasn't getting clawed up for a brief moment. Two opponents was a lot to manage, but he'd done it before - he'd just never handled one of them being a cat.
He dodged the second punch, and swung in for a kick - but that was a mistake, because he hadn't accounted for the cat coming flying back with a vengeance. <********> -- " And then he had a face full of fur, and he was off his feet, swearing the entire way down.

Swing and a miss. Puck was well and truly pissed that the small blue-haired man managed to evade his punch. Not only that, he retaliated by taking a swing at Puck with his foot. "Why you little-" Suddenly a large flying ball of black fur flew past him and attached itself to the Dark Mirror's face. Puck could only watch as the enemy senshi fell to the ground with Faust playing face-hugger. That had to hurt. "Face it, mate, you're simply outclassed here," the new senshi taunted with a sneer. He took a step toward the fallen Dark Mirror and aimed a kick into his side. "If I was you, I'd make myself scarce."

Faust spilled off of Elsa's face once the boy hit the ground, and he grew boneless momentarily. Afterward the cat suddenly sprung up from the ground, apparently intact with all bone accounted for (along with any bones in the raw chicken that remained valiantly stuck to his back). The Mauvian about-faced to crouch low and snarl at Elsa, who he considered the proud new owner of a fresh a**-beating. The Mirror senshi didn't look terribly beaten down yet, but Faust considered showing a little mercy.
"Sheeit, Scraggles, he out-sassed here too," Faust chimed in boldly. "Yo, Snowflake, tell us yo' name and we might let yo' a** go without turnin' it into grass. If you like breathin', you'll be quick about it. And tell yo' Court that the White Moon ain't takin' this s**t anymore. You guys either shape up or ship the ******** out 'cuz we ain't playin' these damn games anymore." Faust felt rather proud of his delivery, and puffed up at the end of his speech for hopeful intimidation. If the Mirror senshi still found inclination to fight back, though...
Faust figured that was the primary intention behind the kitty beam.Noir Songbird if you don't escape now, then faust will cleverly render you completely unable to escape, dat logic

Elsa lay on the ground for a long moment, because there really wasn't any recovering from the indignity of a facefull of cat. He was really coming to hate every aspect of this stupid magical bullshit.
The kick to his side got him to sit up. "Ow, ******** you, that was totally unnecessary."
If his magic ******** worked he would have had an easier time, he was pretty sure of that. "Alright. I'll leave. I'll stay out of this park, even," because he wasn't going to risk tangling with this Senshi and cat again.
He stood up, and glared between the two of them, but he was already walking backwards to leave. "Sailor Elsa," he said, "and I'm not telling my court s**t." And then he bolted, hopefully before either of them could consider coming after him.

Despite his suggestion that the Dark Moon senshi take off, Puck nearly gave chase. "Come back here, I'm not done with you!" he shouted after the retreating Elsa. He hadn't delivered his patented headbutt yet! He'd really wanted to demonstrate that move to Faust, too. He wanted to show the cat that he was more than capable of holding his own in a fight. This whole senshi thing was complicated, he decided, watching the blue-haired enemy disappear into the evening. What happened after he powered up, did he stay a senshi? He wanted to be Rob again at some point, or there would be a lot of questions from his parents. What was his magic, and why hadn't the need arisen to use it? He still hoped it was something awesome. Did all the senshis do was beat up Negaverse people and monsters? Was that their whole job? So many questions. He wondered if Faust had answers. He turned to the cat and grinned. "That was fun, but it wasn't hardly a fight, was it?" Noir Songbird Thank you for letting us beat Elsa up!

"Damn fool," Faust finished with a huff.
But Puck almost rocketed off after the boy, and the Guardian rushed ahead to stand in his path. "Yo! Wait! You too damn ew to this to go runnin' off after that pansy a**. You still got a lot to learn about bein' a senshi before you can go runnin' off and riskin' yo' a** against reinforcements. Speakin' of, we should probably get movin'. And I don't mean after him."
Faust started toward Puck and leapt to his shoulder without asking prior permission. He was not as broad as Thraen, but his hair looked more fun to bat around. Faust experimented with it as he continued. "You only know the basics right now. That guy was a Dark Mirror senshi, and he's bad in the way that all chaos are - those black-wearin' sons of bitches. He's out tryin' to drain the life outta other people to do whatever it is they think justifies that s**t.
"Now, you might be sayin' to yourself, I know what to do. But why are they runnin' around now? And the answer is, they actually been around for a long time. The Negaverse, I mean - dunno much about the Dark Mirror. Thousand years, actually, when they had this big-a** war with a side o' high school drama, and then some s**t happened and suddenly there weren't any senshi or Negaverse agents for about a thousand years. They been croppin' up in the last few years - at least that's what I got, thinkin' about the oldest people I met on this s**t. So I gotta say to myself, we started showin' up again because it's time to end this s**t and put the Negaverse away for good.
"And it ain't just about killin' people for fun, either. They got leaders, and those leaders probably got agendas. I dunno what those agendas are, but no one goes around killin' people for no goddamn reason. s**t just don't happen, even with the sociopaths." Faust hoped that he made some sense out of the matter.
"So, you probably got a ton o' questions for me, Puck. Ask 'em, and then I'll get to the basics of bein' a senshi after."

Puck started slightly as the enormous cat leapt up onto his shoulder and started playing with his hair, even as he continued speaking. Now that the heat of battle was wearing off, he was beginning to doubt his sanity. Talking cats, funny outfits, magical powers, people who went around killing for no good reason… It all seemed completely surreal to him. He started heading back toward the alley and the dumpster where he'd left his guitar. Hopefully it was still there. "Yeah, mate, I got a ton of questions. Like why me? And what's this magic you keep talking about? Why didn't I use any on that little blue-haired s**t?" He had really just wanted to ram his forehead into the Dark Mirror's, but he'd been denied that pleasure, and that made him a little grumpier with Faust than he would have otherwise been. "Are these Negaverse bastards the same as are on the telly then? I hate them already. And what about the monsters? Are we supposed to do anything about them? I hate them too." Scowling now, Puck glanced over at Faust. "And another thing -- am I gonna stay like this forever now? In this outfit I mean, as this Puck bloke. What am I going to do with my life now?"

Faust grunted in a feline rumble. "This is gonna sound hokey as s**t, but you got two kinds of people in the world: the normal kind and the special kind. The normal kind is probably like your mom and dad, maybe most of your friends. They got normal lives, and do their own thing, and maybe see weird s**t like this sometimes and talk about it on Twitter. But then there's the special people, who might walk around normal for ten or fifteen years, but when one of us cats sees them and senses that they ain't jus' your average dumbass civilian, we give 'em a chance to do somethin' and put a stop to this wicked s**t. You ain't one of the regulars, Puck."
Tired of playing with the dreaded hair, Faust retired to a catloaf-style lay on Puck's shoulder. "That damned kid was too pansy-a** for magic, I can tell you that. But..." His eyes squeezed shut while he tried to recall more information on how magic occurred to the user. "It's kinda like learnin' how to chew food. No one tells you how to work your jaw around or use your teeth, you just... Kinda get it. Part of it's just intuition. The moment you need to use your magic, the thought of what to say should just hit you on the spot." He made a mental note to ask Thraen about his first experience with magic. Additionally, he wondered if he should ask after Black Watch members that might be willing to show Puck the ropes more than a cat could.
"The hell's a telly?" Having never seen a TV but once in his feline life, he knew not to equate the colloquial term with one.
"Nevermind that; those Negaverse bastards are basically the assholes causin' all the city's problems, with their pet monsters, the youma. They control those little shits and tell 'em to go wander around eatin' people." He saw no reason to elaborate on the origins of the youma. "As a senshi, your job is to beat some serious a** and help get this city back into shape. There's more to it than that, but there ain't no sense in explainin' rocket science to a nine-year-old. Not that I'm sayin' you're a nine-year-old, but you gotta get a handle on the basics first."
Puck's last question startled the cat. Faust shot Puck a glance of both shock and confusion before he started addressing the question. "Aw, s**t no. All's you gotta do is find somewhere nice and private, like that Weird little alcove behind the corner store, and concentrate on your other form, or lettin' go of your power. Then you'll be... Er, I forgot to ask what your name was.
"But, if you're down with this senshi business, then you might take some time every night to go lookin' around and seein' who you can help, or what you can do to beat back the Negaverse. No one's forcin' you to do it, though, so if you decide '******** this s**t' and go back to doin' homework or playin' guitar or whatever it is you do, ain't no one gonna hold it against you. But I'll be disappointed as s**t."tatterpixie read: faust will hold it against you, puck

"Huh." Faust had answered a good number of Puck's questions, and he was ready to start learning the basics. But top priority was getting out of this senshi outfit and back to normal. (Whatever normal was any more.) Reaching the dumpster, he looked around first to make sure no one was watching, then took a deep breath and released it, doing as the cat had said and releasing the magic. He looked down and sure enough, he was Rob again. Whew. He stooped slightly at the knees, not wanting to dislodge Faust, and picked up his guitar case. "Right. So these Negaverse arseholes are the ones responsible for everything that's wrong with this city. Including the monsters. And I get that I'm one of these 'special' ones who are supposed to fight them. I still don't understand why I'm special, but whatever." Starting down the alley toward the other end, he continued. "And yeah, maybe I didn't need my magic against that Dark Mirror bloke. But someday I will. And that's when I'll just know it? I think I get that." Turning his head to look sideways at the cat, he held out a hand. "Name's Rob. And I'm in." As long as he had permission to get into fights, it was all good as far as he was concerned. "Now what are these basics that I'm too much of a nine-year old to know?"

Faust jumped to the floor before Puck lost his transformation, as he wanted to avoid the fallout of magical clothing dissipation. He touched down with a grunt and about-faced to greet the civilian form of his latest awakened senshi. "Jus' leave it to cats to understand why you're special. The whole damn thing's kinda hard to explain. Kinda like, everybody died a thousand years ago, and then a rebirth cycle rolled around and starseeds shot back out to earth, and you were one of the lucky few that got one. Kinda like a lottery thing - there's not a whole lotta reason why you're chosen beyond luck." The attitude about not knowing pissed him off somewhat; what did it matter how Puck received a senshi starseed? Didn't Faust give him the need-to-know regardless?
"If you got more questions about that, Thraen's your man to talk to. Hella tall eternal senshi, blonde hair, butterflies and branches in that s**t. Weird scar on his face. He's uh, a little more patient with the things that don't really matter, like the past and all that s**t. I care about the now."
Faust trotted along beside Rob at a quick clip, and leapt over discarded pipes and other detritus to keep pace. "An' I told you, I'm not tellin' you 'bout that other s**t, so calm yo' tits about it. Jus' chill with learnin' how to fight with your new power, trainin' yourself to tell the difference between how your enemies and your allies feel, and figure out your magic. Meet people, too - they gonna make a world of difference if you can round up some good teammates. Just uh, don't be trustin' no assholes in black. s**t's a bad way. An' I mean, I'd have to kill you if you sided with 'em. No pressure or nothin'." Faust shot Rob a side-eye regardless.
"Oh, and I almost forgot. Use your cell phone to scan me. Should be one of the buttons in there. Once you do that, you can call me whenever."
