Welcome to Gaia! ::

With the hand out of his chest he finally came back to himself, shaking his head before running a hand through his hair. He blinked when his hand didn't come into contact with the metal of his tiara and then he noticed his arms.

"What in gods name.." he starred at the glowing writing that traced it's way across his arms. Whatever they were didn't hurt but he had no idea how they'd even gotten there.

Staring down at them he didn't notice the small cream colored ball of fur running toward him.

----------------------------------------------------

Not knowing what to do and honestly being too frightened to come out of hiding Sumi had stayed out of sight when the general had appeared. He knew he shouldn't have, that there should have been some way to help, but he didn't know what that was.

At least not until something happened to Arsinoe that at least got the general away from his senshi.

Ducking out from under the box he'd been hiding behind he summoned another henshin pen and darted toward the Senshi. "Arsinoe! ... use this one." He hopped up onto the confused senshi's shoulder before dropping the pen into his hand.

"You're not getting away from her without this."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sumi's weight on his shoulder knocked him out of his confusing for a moment and he looked down at the henshin pen in his hand. It looked like his usual one, mostly but a little fancier.

"Oh .. right. Off." He carefully brushed Sumi off his shoulder before twisting the pen in his hand. "Why pens anyway? He shook his head, ignoring the lingering sensation of someone's hand in his chest. "Arsinoe Eternal Make-Up!"


His shoes clacked as they hit the ground again and he looked down at the weight near his hips before looking over at the General. "You were saying?"

He shifted slightly, annoyed by the extra weight on his hips, an raised a brow as the General started clapping. He really did hate them and the fact that all of them seemed to be completely off their rockers. "Yes, I believe we are if you're in the mood to take a trip to the burn ward."

Knowing his magic had received a boost when he powered up previously he figured he had something new he could throw at her. He could feel the idea of it prodding at the back of his mind.

He was expecting the General to attack him again so at least this time he was prepared for it. Everything still hurt but with whatever new transformation he had he could push it away for the moment. He could feel more energy burning through him, more than he'd expected just from a typical power up.

"Be careful what you ask for." He smirked before flicking the latch on the lantern's door. "Pyre Light Chain!"

The chain of small fiery orbs snaked out of the lantern and twisting to wrap around the General. She was fast, so she might get away, but this close there was a good chance she'd take a face full of a few of them.

If he wasn't in as much pain and he wasn't sure it would get him into more trouble he would have been very tempted to laugh at the General. Her running straight into his attack wasn't something he'd expected but it worked out in his favor.

Who in their right mind ran into a fire?

As she dropped to the ground with a yell he jumped back well out of her range. He was out of magic and mostly out of energy and he knew he couldn't take her in a fist fight. If she was determined enough to run into a fire she wasn't likely to back down if he got in her face again. He didn't want to let her go but he was out of options. "I think you've had enough for one night. Go back to whatever dark hole you crawled out of."
