Welcome to Gaia! ::

DM Sailor Loke

It'd been the weird sensation that had drawn him over to take a peek in the first place. He was still getting used to powering up, still getting used to being... out and about as Loke, again. He kept his eyes open for any signs of Varuna, following the strange collection of energies he could feel coming from a part of the city. The damage he stumbled across however, and the odd creature, were um.

Not exactly what he'd been expecting.

The Dark Mirror Senshi didn't really bother to ask questions or seek out familiar faces--really, there weren't any, and he was still keeping an eye out for the icy senshi. He took notice of the fact that those collected were fighting the creature, and he didn't see the point in risking looking like the bad guy by not joining in. Not that the debris he tossed at the creature seemed to do jack-all...

Sailor Cassiopeia

Ok so throwing random debris at a giant, clearly alien creature--which was kinda odd to realize when you were a magical person and had magic powers and could teleport to an alien world but, I mean, this thing was a legit alien--was not going well. Cassiopeia had come across the scene during her evening patrol-slash-powered route from work, lured in by the odd aura she felt and the growing number of other auras joining the area. Including a few Chaos auras, she noted with a bit of alarm.

But it wasn't Order versus Chaos in this fight. It was... well, anyone around, versus this strange creature. A part of her felt horrified at the notion of attacking it, but considering the damage it'd already done, and it's apparent intent on continuing that damage... well, it was a bit of a no-brainer. The Senshi of Wonder was just a tad baffled on what to do, when the piece of wood she'd picked up to slam against the creature didn't seem to... well, do anything.

Lt. Carnotite

She came out that night to have a good time, steal some new clothes for her wardrobe, and this is what she finds?

Carnotite was more than a tad alarmed by the rabbit-wolf looking creature, or whatever it was. Definitely not an Earth creature, and not a youma. The half-youma was particularly intrigued by this fact, watching with a high level of amusement as others began to attack the creature. What was it? Where was it from?

She figured jumping in would at least be a fun way to pass some time, perhaps gain some information. But finding that her punches and kicks did nothing had her quickly retreating a bit to watch and see what would damage the creature.

{ 13 + 1 = 14, 0 damage }

A grin crossed the face of the creature as its opponents failed to penetrate its stone-like hide. The beast even looked to the senshi that had missed entirely with a sort of snarl of derision. It almost looked, despite its strange form, that it was enjoying this.

Perhaps it was overconfidence then that led it to forget to look behind it back into the shop it had just decimated.

"Together now..."

"Spirit Hare, Command!"

"Rice Powder, Dust!"

Sailor Alpha and Beta Leporis stood in the remains of the doorway. Aura barely managed to hold the limp form of her sister, Imagi. Neither looked like they could fight beyond the attempt they had just made to surprise the monster.

Alpha Leporis's spectral hare dissipated as she looked out through her sister's attack's shielding effect. Her tiara was cracked and falling into her weary, but hopeful eyes.

"You... You came. Now, please, defeat this monster." Her voice was weak, but her eyes burned with a fire that was unmistakable even as she attended to her twin who was now fainting in her arms.

"She's given you an opportunity... Now use it!"

((rollin rollin >u<))

Sailor Altair

Altair watched the beast as she was mustering up the courage to charge at it as well in hopes of doing so when her target seemed to have more of a focus on another direction. She reckoned she may end up stopping in her tracks like a deer caught by headlights if she was caught in such an attempt.

However, listening to her surroundings divided her attention as well and along with hearing the declarations of spells, she also picked up on the spoken words directed to them all from a duo of senshi. With a nod of her head, she moved in Ananke's direction to offer back up. And then, she decided to try aiming her own spell at the threatening presence, saying the words for her magic after a deep breath and steadying her gaze on the creature with determined motions, "Scalpel Shot!"



Squire Aptera

Her gaze scanned the creature's form in search of a striking point. So much was going on all at once and it seemed to Aptera that the opponent was aware of this as well. Magic spell after magic spell after magic spell along with other forms of strikes after strikes, the attacks to subdue the threat were dealt all in a matter of seconds after seconds in rapid fire succession and she, too, had her eyes set on the defeat of the beast. Alertly, she moved with caution as she sought an opening, an opportunity. Then, she charged and summoned the creation of her magic barrier for a few moments to deal a forceful push at the foe, a magic spell attack of her own.

[[ Skoll, Andronicus ]]

It had been some month since Skoll had gotten her hands dirty with fighting monsters. Who woulda thought that trying to make rent payments and pay credit load sharks with two jobs left little time for henshining up? How any of these high school kids (and she figured a lot of them were high schoolers) even got out to run around the town in short skirts and skimpy leotards boggled her mind.

Skoll came up on the chaos mid battle, late as always. The best way to get into a crazy battle? With her fists flying away.

"AYYYYEEEEEEE!" And so the crazy, insanely tall senshi barrelled into the fight.

The squire of Uranus leapt off of a near by building and jogged into the fray, aspected speed aiding her journey. The corner game store was one of her competetors, but they had some great employees and she wasn't about to let them fall to some monster. Andronicus had standards; her shop had the better value - and was starting up a small repair shop in the back. People's lives being at stack, especially civilians? That overrulled any and all retail territory desputes.

"Well isn't this... a lovely specimen of monster," said the squire, slamming her mace into it with a solid thwack.


[[ Skoll does 14 damage! ]]
[[ Andronicus does 13 damage! ]]

[[ 27 total damage! ]]

Sailor Altair

Altair's eyes widened at the sight of her attack's stray scalpels being redirected at the target by portal magic. Her surprised gaze transitioned to Ananke as she received an explanation for what she just witnessed. She grinned in response, replying, "It's certainly alright. Thank you and I'll always be open to teamwork between us."

Aquila's rock hit first and the difference between this attack and the last one was obvious. A chunk of crystal-like fur cracked and fell from the creature's back. Altair's knives plunged into the creature's open paw and it allowed Aptera's barrier push to be more effective as the creature could only balance on three of its feet. Myrrha's and Irkalla's attacks caused it to turn its head in surprise. It was then that Skoll's wild barrage crashed into the beast's face. Was the creature's jaw falling off? Andronicus, commenting on the specimen, did a fair share of damage to it and a whole section of the monster's shoulder fell away with his weapon like old stone crumbling. Ananke's portal sent more knives in a different direction. Its tail was caught on the ground. Was it detaching? Caliban's and Alphubel's assaults further clipped its fur. Something was clearly glowing from within the creature. What was it? Loke's punch landed straight on the monster furthering a long crack that had been growing on its back. An eerie lavender glow could now be seen clearly from within. It almost looked like that creature would shatter as Cassiopeia attacked. There was not much hope for the creature by the time Carnotite's cautious blow came. It didn't seem to matter.

The monster was dying.

The beast was glowing brightly from all the cracks in its hide. Each second, more and more of the crystalline stones that make up its fur fell away. And in one long, bright pulse briefly blinded everyone in the area like a small flash bang into the growing night.

For a moment, it all seemed over.

Sailor Alpha Leporis's gripped on her sister loosened. Had it fallen so easily?

As the flair of light dissipated, a small, pulsing object could be seen in the rubble where the creature had once stood. There was nothing but shards of crystal left of the monster. Or was there? A strange core floated above the remains of the creature and it was in the same violet light that had been coming from the beast that it glowed in.

Then the pulse of concussive force came. And then another. And another.

It wasn't over.
