Oh now this was what she was talking about. No crazy dragons, no armies of youma, no crazy woman with chakrams and scythes. Just undead, monsters, and insane ancestors.
Okay maybe it was still on the realm of crazy, but Skoll was getting used it. Scholomance was dank and creepy, but it was better than the Rift. The agile senshi moved around the room, stepping into the center of the room with little incident.
"Hello there," grinned Skoll, aiming a right hook for Sabazios's... head.
Sailor Dia, Corrupted Senshi of Candy // Sector 07 Staring down the senshi of centipedes, i see u sir
She'd spotted him immediately as he dropped in, a crisp five dollar bill being tucked away as he moved to fold his arms across his chest and study his new surroundings. He didn't seem as bewildered as she felt - did he know where they were? Then again, if she knew she was on an entire other planet, she might have been a little more perplexed than she already was.
His finger pointed out to her, his threat established. She scrunched up her nose in his direction, the small piece of candy still clutched in her palm. While she appreciated the color purple (it went so well with pink), his boots were a definite no-go.
"Kicking my a**? That's a bit violent, don't you think?" Her heels clicked as she stepped forward, striped stockings making their way a foot - then two - closer towards the other senshi. She wasn't prepared to close the entire gap between the two of them, but at the very least she wanted to better her chances, should she need to toss her sweet. "But then again, that's so typical of you guys. Fight first, ask questions later?"

Zhou Yi, Senshi of the Sesshoseki // Sector 03 Health: 100 Magic: 2/2 Can cause 10 damage.
The Gothic architecture of Scholomance was something to behold. It looked like something out of a twisted fairy tale and Zhou Yi found herself in awe of it. It was the first time she had visited a Wonder and her mind was finding it hard to focus on any one thing. The redhead, in truth, did not understand what was going on and instead of jumping head first into the chaos that was beginning to unfold she looked around curiously for anything that seemed familiar.
That familiarity was found in a Page of Earth who was conveniently right by her. As soon as cyan eyes locked on the other girl she was on her like a fly on s**t. Her arms flew and wrapped around the girls waist, long sleeves and numerous tails bouncing as she moved. She had not seen the girl since their tag team in the park. It was good to know she was okay! "It is you~ Wanna team up to fight another monster, hmm?"
General Schörl// Sector 02 Moving to Sector 03! no effect
It had been practice on rooftop with Pigeon, providing the dragon as a target to hit High, Low, Hither, Thither, at speed to increase the other woman's accuracy and reaction times to the much less predictable and less choreographed dance of battle.
Then Schörl paused. Something called. Not like the Negaverse, not like a summons. Well now. What is this? Well well. If the Nothing knocks, why not us to answer and to learn what it wants.
The General held out hand, and Barbary's paw waved impotently along her arm in beckoning cat fashion, "A call. We go."
* * *
Ruined beauty of vaults and murals resolved, many others popping in and rankling of White Moon and the Knighthood. Here and there another Officer. The gist of the situation was well laid out in the voice that came from Slender Man not too far off- 'You will not live twice.' That one is dead, then? Funny that. And that 'thing'? The little Monstrous puffing about? Curiouser and curiouser. And who will be friendlier to returning us to Earth, I wonder, now that we're drawn here. Or eat us just the same?
"This research and place could be of use. And better if it gets to its completion to see if it's true at all. We want it, Pigeon. Him. That thing. This wonder. Place cut and cleared, neutralized— they need room to breath. "
There were two small ones chewing the scenery it seemed. And one was even a senshi. The General swung her cane at the mask the girl sported, "How pretty red the stain, how much more to gain~"

Super Sailor Haüyne// Sector 02 no effect
Was brain tickle a thing? Cause the Corrupted Super totally felt like there was a tickle somewhere in noggin' just moments before skidding to a stop to two-hand muddle, skritch and massage as much of scalp as humanly possible through all the wealth of mahogany hair.
Cool yeah, great yeah, stop stop stop- And it must have been enough of a positive that the Wonder pulled the Senshi along through space and plunked them in the middle of what was apparently someone else's domestic feud. Center person was totally making it a talk-to-the-hand to the walking stick that wasn't too far away and—
"I KNOW YOU." Haüyne pointed accusingly and dramatically at the more lively Scholomance. And there were some other shiny ones there going after the scientist in the center. But Stickboy was known. Stickboy was supposed to have been an easy catch. No doubt the other shinies would get in the way all over again.
While their attention is divided, then, conquer, right? Yeah!So the Corrupted lunged, trying to donkey punch one of the less obnoxiously shiny nearby people (Aokigahara) square between the shoulders. Cause he was just standing there. Blabbing. Instead of anything else that might make him a harder to hit target.
Sailor Myrrha, Senshi of Scents // Sector 4 and moving into sector 5
Myrrha had had no time to reply to the page that had tried to ask if she was all right before he had skipped off to try getting passed the creature; and was successful. The scents senshi did a quick once over and finding that besides just general aches and pains she was fine. Gritting her teeth she charged forward once more to the middle of the room in an attempt to pass the creature.
Amazingly she made it through but not before once again being struck.
|Shaking off the hit she moved eased cautiously forward. Her keen gaze moved around taking in everything going on around her. ----- HP 100 (can do 10 damage)

Corrupted Sailor Ceraskia of Scorn // sector 2, moving to sector 3
It had been crucial once the leg hand mended and the bruises had healed, her training. A better defense against those that would harm her, righteous villains that clipped wings and threatened rusted cages. The dancer had taken to the battle drills as she had to dancing. They weren't terribly different fundrntally--a series of movements, muscle memory and reaction. She wasn't powerful, but she was quick, agile. And that speed returned with her more pressing injuries healing.
At the summons (not a summons), the training had ceased, and Ceraskia's hand had found Schörl's with eagerness. Wherever her general commanded they go, she would go gladly.
* * *
Like stepping into the pages of the divine comedy. The place was a gothic ruin. Beautiful in its decay, crumbling and surreal. Dreamlike, came to mind. "From the pages of a macabre storybook." It was a whisper of an observation, more to herself than to be heard. Thoughtless.
But wonder didn't linger. Not with her general's command. The senshi turned with obedience as that lovely voice directed, and there followed a delicate nod, and the grace of a smile. "As my mistress comands it." So shall it be done.
Targets presented, and Schörl wasted little time in engaging. A swing of her cane at the white moon senshi, the melody of poetry. That left the page to the dancer. "Unfortunate you, to find yourself against Her." And by extension, the corrupted herself. The first strike was a fast one, a quick jab to stun. Move with haste, gain the upper hand.

Sailor Centisima, Senshi of Centipedes // Sector 7 staring down ms. candy and admiring them silky locks
Centisima realized belatedly he was still holding the five dollar note now scrunched up in his palm. He tucked it away, thanking whatever magical tailors were responsible for his outfit had been kind enough to include functional pockets.
When she moved towards him, he took three good steps as well. There was still a decent gap between them but it would much easier to cross it should he be forced to get physical. Not that he particularly wanted to punch a girl, especially one that was admittedly kinda cute in a Bad Idea sort of way.
"This is a violent kind of world. But you see, if I was going to fight first and ask questions later, I’d already be kicking your a**." He hooked a thumb and motioned it idly towards the scary skeleton critter in the middle of the room. "I’m here to fight that thing. So I’m merely suggesting that let me get about my business and don’t cause any trouble."
Centisima looked her up and down, taking in his first good look at a Corrupt Senshi and asked, "Doesn’t that much hair just get in the way?" And then, after a brief pause. "It looks ridiculously silky."

Hy-Brasil, Page of Earth // Sector 03 Health: 100-10=90 Can cause 10 dmg Her searching was swiftly halted when arms wrapped around her in a flurry of red and white. If she had been confused for the split second that the girl attached herself to her, she was quickly put straight by the familiar voice. A smile graced the page’s face as she returned the senshi’s hug. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here. Sure why not? Maybe this time…”
But she was stopped short as her eyes widened and she pushed Zhou Yi away from her as a cane sailed towards the younger girl’s head. She herself used the momentum of pushing Zhou away to push herself back and out of range as well. It quickly became apparent that the fight wouldn’t be two on one though. No sooner had she separated herself from Zhou did another person make themselves known.
Hy-Brasil, not being an experienced fighter, was not at all ready for the attack that came so quickly from the corrupt senshi. Air escaped her as the jab connected with her abdomen causing the page to double over. She at least had the sense to try and stagger away, to create some distance so she could at least try and put up a fight.
Or better yet, find someone who knew what the hell they were doing to help. That would be a better idea. Sadly the only one she knew here was Zhou and the girl wasn’t much better off than herself. Still, she didn’t want to just leave Zhou.
She was pretty sure they were in way over their heads and knew they were probably better off together than apart. “Zhou!” She yelled for the other girl as she attempted to locate the other senshi with quick glances. The last thing she wanted to do was take her eyes off of her opponent for too long, that was at least one thing she knew.
Super Sailor Eros - Sector 1 - Health: 100 (does 10 damage)
The feeling was strange, like someone had called for her, just outside of her hearing. Eros had turned on the rooftop, looking for whomever it was, but she was alone for as far as she could see. Nothing felt wrong either, which she'd come to associate with the Negaverse and their monsters. Just that strange pulling...
Paying attention to it, though, brought a sudden and startling change in her environment. Instead of the gravel roof top, surrounded by the sounds of the city, she was in a strange, almost gothic building and there was shouting going on around her. Eros started as she cast around, her pink eyes wide.
Where was this place? How had she gotten here?
Puck wasn't here, that was apparent quickly. There wasn't actually... a lot of people she knew... But there, she caught a dark head of hair and glowing stars. That was Methone! Eros remembered her from that night with the portal outside the city. And over there, close to the center of the room and facing off against something that made her skin crawl, was her one-time savior, Scholomance.
What were they all doing here? What had called her?

Methone, Trans.Eternal senshi of Aurora Borealis // Sector 8, moving to 9 Open for interaction!
Magic was wonky here, she couldn't feel aura's save for anyone close to her and to be fair, the eternal was pretty sure she was in a very secluded area. She moved carefully, a glow bug amongist the dark and almost, she was pretty sure, caught sight of colorful hair.
Her glance was fleeting, and she couldn't double back around for the super she had met at the portal, especially when the monster stood between her and the woman.
Her only way to finding anyone, and Scholo, was to circle around the area and hope to get lucky.
One moment he was following after Jet following after a Senshi, and the very next he was... somewhere else. He had no idea where, though the place had a very gothic look about it. It's location was a mystery to him, however, as was its relevance. He'd merely felt some strange calling seconds before being whisked away.
There were a number of Senshi and Knights present. There were somewhat less Negaverse agents around, but still a sizable amount.
Aquamarine shared Jet's caution. Given that he had no idea where they were or what was going on, he thought it best to hang back for the time being. Observe their surroundings. Let the silly Senshi and Knights do whatever it was they were intent on doing. Stopping a monster, apparently.
He wasn't very fond of monsters himself, but he certainly had no intention of helping. Whatever was going on, it couldn't possibly concern him. He was simply here because... well, it must be some sort of magical fluke. Clearly, some Senshi or Knight was responsible for the transport. It couldn't be a typical summons, otherwise a higher level agent would likely have started issuing orders upon arrival.
“This is some epic bullshit,” Aquamarine decided, putting as much distance between himself and the action as he was able. “What the ******** is going on?”
If it wasn't the fault of some Senshi or Knight, it had to have been something Jet'd done.
An echoed hiss left the monster's bony visage as it whipped its extended spine toward Hyperborea. Thereafter, it pointed to her, and whispers of words came forth in an ancient tongue. Even as she whipped her staff forth to strike at its bones, the attack found nothing more than a gust of fog clapping shut around its path. Thick, derisive laughter hissed forth as it whirled from her entirely.
"I know not who any of you are," Blaine started as shaken hands hastily continued his work, "but halt your interference! My work here does not concern any of you!" He spared little more than a feverish glance about the room, taking in faces both foreign and seemingly impossible to him. False-knights littered the place, much like the two he met in Scholomance's company. "This wonder cannot see its due justice under the guardian ship of this knight! He is a coward that avoids his fate forthright, and cavorts with those who would wish to see Scholomance perish in its desertion! I will not stand to see it!" A last glance was spared toward the creature orbiting him, to which he whispered a simple phrase.
"I need more power."
Glass tubules laced throughout the room, that converged upon the center pedestal, flared to life with the brilliant blue smoke thrumming through their collective veins. The hissing whorl grew to barely audible status amidst the din of erupting violence.
The creature itself offered no answer, instead busying itself with Myrrha's assault. Claws swung outward to catch her, and she retreated satisfactorily. In its distraction, however, Aptera slipped by without injury. This time, its spine-whip tail found nothing more than air. He whirled to stare her down, and Blaine cowered in sudden recognition of her presence. And yet, before it could strike out, a blistering whistle loosed by Tortuga froze its attention. More had invaded their sanctum, and the creature would stand for no more. It witnessed in mild confusion as Skoll's fist passed cleanly through its head, and turned about in time to catch Myrrha once more with claws. Far too many crowded it now. Blaine now vanished momentarily, halting all progress.
With a resounding draw of breath, Sabazios' hands lowered in a loose of fog about itself. As if let down from its very shoulders, the thickening miasma settled to the ground and slowly rose upward to claim all breath about the space. The living who lay within its sector would find themselves choking desperately on its corrosive gas, unless intervention was sought. [[ HP -20 ]]
While the fog swirled beneath it, the ethereal creature gained a tangibility that was not witnessed before, as if coming into full view of those surrounding it. Those with the will to fight through the mist would find solid bone with their fists, feet, and weapons.

Near the walls, steps descended down to a lowered platform upon which a dais stood. Its visage spoke of an ornate and convoluted style where filigree and engravings and iconography foretold its grandeur. Decadent from age as it was, the top platform of its lectern looked crumbled and worn. Atop it sat, perhaps precariously, a short stack of old, decrepit tomes. With their words no longer decipherable, they were of use to no one.
A pair of windows marked the north and east side of the corner, and beyond them lay a muddled image. It looked as though the glass was fully intact, despite the long millennium spent in deferred maintenance. Its glass lacked the strengthening agent of potassium nitrate, and being single-paned, looked easily breakable. Beneath them, strewn across the floor, lay the scatterings of ancient pens and empty ink wells.
The columns observed were of solid stone, and unyielding even after their centuries of silence.

Scholomance Squire // Moving from Sector 02 to Sector 03 Schörl, Ceraskia, Zhou Yi, Hy-Brasil
The flood of people who arrived at his wonder offered Scholomance a moment of embarrassment for the place, as its condition clearly denoted its disuse over the thousand years. In addition, all the world could view the mess that was his constant familial struggle. Surely the knights who looked on now saw only vast ineptitude in Scholomance, and feverish insanity in his ancestor for joining with this strange, skeletal monstrosity. With Aokigahara's arrival, this feeling slackened somewhat, as he knew the Page recognized the eternal toil that was serving the Death Planet's wonders.
"Aoki, I'd say it was good to see you but I think that greeting is better reserved for later. No time to talk - that thing needs to go down." He pointed at Sabazios directly. "I don't know how, either - she just swung at it, and not a damned thing happened." He felt the transcendent power of the Cosmos knight (Hyperborea) who joined them, unknown as she was, but felt thankful toward her lack of judgment and willingness to assist. Perhaps with the assistance drawn from earth, he could reverse the ills that befell his wonder-
But all thought paused when he heeded Haüyne's crazed declaration. "s**t," he snarled back. Don't tell me my wonder summoned Negaverse agents here too. Is it so decrepit and dense that it couldn't tell knights from officers? So much for getting out of this quickly.
Hurriedly he departed from the spot, unwilling to face Haüyne twice in battle. He knew well the blood swords she could wield and wanted no part of it. Despite the pains of walking, he summoned bone cane to hand and hobble-jogged closer to the corner of the space. There, an Earth knight (Hy-Brasil) and a senshi (Zhou Yi) tangled with a corrupted senshi (Ceraskia) and a general (Schörl). This, he realized, was not an improvement or even a lateral exchange over his earlier position.
And then the fog grappled those who stepped into the center.
With attention torn, Scholomance's heart pounded frantically in his chest while he struggled with making a decision. Should he wield his magic to assist those in the field of smog? Should he prevent the knight and senshi from meeting a grizzly end by the Negaverse presence?

Sailor Enif // Sector 8
Amarantha didn't know what to think about the fact she was starting to get used to being pulled from one place to another. Was she supposed to be used to this by now? There was no one she could ask, in all honesty but she allowed it to happen after transforming.
The place she'd ended up in wasn't... in the best repair. But it spoke of what had once been and she was sure it would be gorgeous if given the chance to return to it's former glory. She almost wished she'd brought Cas with her, she'd have been in love.
Except for the giant being in the middle of the room? Golden eyes moved around, trying to take in everything. Senshi near the guy in the middle seemed to be suffering some some sort of attack and there was definitely Negaversers here too. She'd hoped to not see one anytime soon, in all honesty.
Backing up some, no where near ready to try and engage anything going on Enif opted to survey her surroundings for anything that might be of use. She'd take anything at this point because her power didn't really lend itself to anything useful.

Aptera, Page of Castor // Sector 05 (Her divided focus has converged into exploring this sector.) 80 of 100 HP | capable of dealing 10 damage [open to interactions]
She was coughing now and it brought back memories of battling in the Negaverse. She had observed that fighting with fog seemed like one of their foe's main abilities and it also got her wondering if there was a window to let the fog out in here. A quick survey of the walls she could see told her no. In the meantime, she attempted to keep a hand over her nose and mouth while holding her breath until she either needed to exhale and risk another inhale or decidedly chose to resort to something else.
She kept her vision moving, keeping an eye on the monster, those she was fighting with, and Blaine. Then, Blaine disappeared. If he was going to get reinforcements, she wanted to interfere with that course of action.
"I'm going after Blaine," Aptera worded her plan to her allies before tracing the walls in search of a doorway perhaps.
What Aptera found were stairs and she took them with cautious urgency.
Then, the sight that drew her attention next was a window.
In her hurrying to push against it now, her foot collided with something along the wall below it. She ducked and ended up picking up two ink wells.
She did not realize what the items were, what crossed her mind was only that they could potentially be used to break the window.
She slid as many as her hands found away from under the window, gathering ammunition. Then, Aptera proceeded to throw inkwells at one spot on the window with one arm shielding her face and her dominant arm doing the throwing.
