Minkowski generally didn't respond to distress calls, though it wasn't out of malice or anything like that- it was simply her own insecurity that stopped her from responding. There were plenty of senshi stronger than her, who would be able to do more than she ever could.
However, the senshi of butterflies also knew that there were some things she could be good at, at least, with what little healing magic she had. Still, Minkowski couldn't help but feel a twinge of nervousness as she approached the location indicated in the distress call. She was obviously getting herself into a dangerous situation, and, as only a basic level senshi, she knew that she was potentially very vulnerable to attack.
The lack of light put her on edge, and, as she drew closer to the power plant, the large amount of youma she sensed made her want to turn back, to flee while she still could. But... Minkowski stood her ground, at least for now. She could sense other senshi in the general vicinity, though she couldn't necessarily see any of them- that, at the very least, was some small comfort.
There seemed to be an unusually large amount of Order auras on the move, so what was a mauvian to do but to go check things out?
Perhaps the other form would have been faster, but the large aura it gave off wasn't exactly great for poking into things exploring - and the cluster of warm auras of varying strengths that seemed to be on the move pretty much called for exploration–
And so Liryn made his way after them, trotting as best he could, a part of him wishing that Arian hadn't picked this weekend to go off to a craft show..
Because it would have been nice to have Athene along with him and not just because the eternal's speed would have been useful in helping him get to where he needed to be faster...
And Liryn very much thought that there was something out there that he needed to be involved in - because the amount of Order auras he was picking up on was very much not normal.
Distress calls…everything seemed to keep happening. But…the hero bug had bit her again, so she couldn’t just…not go. Someone needed her. Lenka made it to the power plant after a few minutes hard running and her eyes widened.
There was a lot of youma here. A ton. Of course, as she squashed a small frog looking one…not all of them seemed that strong. The tiny frog turned to dust after one good stomp, so, that was a good thing.
There were people yelling from somewhere around there, and that caused the teenaged senshi to frown slightly. Why would…you want to call attention to yourself like that? It seemed foolish…and just because you were getting the attention of some…it didn’t mean that you were getting the attention off those who were in trouble…
It was brave, it really was…but…kind of foolish at the same time…it just put a target on your own head.
But hey…if you could get the darkness to come to you, you could destroy it easier, couldn’t you.
Maybe they weren’t so foolish…maybe she was just nit picking.
Her eyes landed on a senshi with brown hair and a very pretty blue fuku, she walked over, giving a small smile, despite the darkness. “Hey. I’m Sailor Lenka…you okay?” She reached out a hand and put a hand on the senshi’s shoulder. “You’re not alone in this, I hope you know. We’ll fight it all together, wanna help me out? We have some saving to do, and some youma to squish.” She grinned, trying to make her point by squashing another small youma that was going after her foot.
It felt good to be so strong.

Sir Wrigglesworth; Youma
They were here, they had landed, some had survived. This was good. The Reaper had led them to this place and here there would be.... The youma slithered to lay its crystals, bones clacking over this ground, this floor, that it did not comprehend. It was different, and alien, and only important because it heralded its movements.
There was only one light here, now that the others had all gone out in their landing; a convenient one; a delicious, edible one. It should eat the light, and grow stronger. Before its brethren got to it. But ah, the Reaper was speaking to it. Not yet to be a meal, then. Perhaps later.
The youma curled and uncurled, writhing its body forward with muscles that were there no longer; free now to move around and explore.
Clack. Clack. Bones scraping, grating on cement. There was darkness, here, and burning brightness that grew from one and came faster- faster than expected. Burning lights. Tasty lights.
It should hunt.
HP: 75/75 Target: ----- Damage: ----- Bone Snake: Thick Skin Despite having no visible skin, the snake possesses a stone-like hide that absorbs physical damage. (-3 damage from every physical attack.)
They were here... the human realm. Where there were sooooo many tasty morsels to stalk and devour. The Reaper had done it a favor, bringing it to this place where so many were within the grasp of it's toothy maw. But first, the crystal.
Ignoring its companions, those who failed to survive the trip and those following out their orders as well, the strange amalgamation of a youma quickly placed its crystal before it drifted into the shadows. It's claws scraped against the cement as more and more lights, more and more humans, arrived. They were promised a buffet and it appeared that it was to come true.
Food.... Tastey, tastey food...
Come to Mutt so it may eat your heart.

Decaying Ammut: Soul Devourer Ammut is capable of devouring a magical attack and regurgitating it upon the caster. (Attack DMG is turned upon the caster. Ammut takes 5 damage from ingesting magic. Can be used once every five turns.)
Long had it been since the hyena youma witnessed the lurid colors of Destiny City. power crackled to life around them, and the wild hues in the sky inspired animosity in it. The Reaper finally reared up from the drab canals of their space, the one locale closest to being home. But it and its brethren wanted this colorful, desperate world for themselves - and they would prove their dominion tonight.
Shenzi immediately darted out from the greater youma, paralleling one of his brethren by lighting near the transformers. The great machines hummed dutifully in their production of power, and the creature could feel the charged ambience in his bones. Insidious little auras came and it bared its teeth, laughing wildly. The crystal held dangled from its neck, whipping too and fro with the hyena's jerky movements. Constantly now it shuddered and spat and growled. An ancient hatred bubbled up and seized it while the opposition drew ever closer. Reaper would demonstrate his strength how, after so long dwelling in the Rift.
Soon they landed - these insipid, worthless senshi - and Shenzi jumped at the first opportunity to attack. A girl in ruffles and curls stood nearest it and it leapt, fangs bared, a throttled howl from its throat, as it aimed for the girl's neck.

Scholomance Knight
Absent one signet ring, the goings-on call escaped him entirely. During typical forays around the business district, Scholomance expected nothing more than the typical night spent afield. He expected stray auric energies somewhere in his periphery, and perhaps another encounter with a youma or a fledgling page. He received none of these, however - only a call on his recently-acquired disposable cell phone that trouble arose at the local power plant. The message had spidered out from senshi phone to knight signet to senshi phone without any further indication of the sender anymore, and scholomance sighed inwardly.
He resigned himself to this, he knew, but the fear of a second coming of the Negaverse invasion overtook him. As he diverted his path toward the sprawling power plant in the distance, his mind wove a thousand worst-case scenarios in which the original sender of the message was already captured and the lot of them approached an inisidious trap. Perhaps Schörl was there at the center of it, waiting to reclaim what she considered rightfully hers. Maybe the scythe-wielding General Queen authorized such a notion and waited at its epicenter. But he felt nothing of the sort, even as he approached - which only lent credence to the thought of an ambush.
A handful stood defiantly, he noted upon approach, and youma crawled in heavy saturation of the place. Briefly he wondered if the power generators drew them - if youma saw the energy within as some desperate, empty calorie binge before turning their attention on the populace. The power plant must have some significance; why else would such an eruption of youma take place if not for the strategic utility of the area?
Spotting a senshi below, Scholomance leapt sequentially from parapet to ledge to cresting a fence before landing beside the man. His eyes never left the roaming youma and isolated fights while he spoke. "Know anything about what's going on here? This one's a terribly large ******** to be going without auric notice." He aimed a glance at the senshi, noting basic rank, some face scruff, and no obvious signs of a sphere.
"Scholomance, by the way. In case you need a name for a tombstone later."
Proteus stopped for a moment to catch his breath, unclenching his fist to rub at his already bruised knuckles as he swept his gaze across to reassess the situation. Where did all of these youmas come from anyway? And just what kind of food had they been chomping in order to develop such thick carapaces? If reinforcements didn't start pouring in soon, it was only going to be a matter of time before these youmas eventually overrun the city.
Eyeing the curious figure whose aura and actions identified him as one on the same side as he himself, Proteus gave a shrug at the question. "Sorry mate. I just got here because of the distress signal I received on my phone so I'm equally clueless as to what's going on. I reckon that someone or something is behind this unusual gathering since them youmas usually don't behave like this."
Whatever Scholomance was, his aura definitely didn't feel like that of a senshi. "Sailor Proteus, Senshi of Swarms." He volunteered his name and sphere, quirking a brow at the other man's morbid mention of needing a name for a tombstone during the course of his self introduction.
Jeez... were things really going to get that bad? So much for taking a break from the studying. He would count himself lucky if he managed to get back to bed and wake up in time for class tomorrow. If the city wasn't razed to the ground that is.
"This may not be the best time to play twenty questions but um... what are you supposed to be exactly?"

After finally healing after his run in with that small General, Terry had been itching to get out and about to stretch his legs so to speak. So he ended up leaving the house with both Seung and Matt on what they were hoping to be an easy patrol. After all most Chaos agents weren't willing to take on three Knights and a random youma wasn't normally that strong. It had started out to plan but after an hour of running around on the rooftops their rings went off as a distress signal was activated. "Looks like someone can use some help." Erebus said giving the other two a frown. "Come on." He didn't give either much time to protest if they were going to and started to run off in the direction the signal was from, easily picking up the order signatures gathering now that he was paying attention.
When his little brother had asked if he wanted to go on patrol, he had jumped head first into it. Sure apparently Knight's healed faster then normal but it was something that Matt knew but hadn't quite seen full proof in his eyes yet. Sure Terry seemed to be fully healed but he was an older brother would rather be safe then sorry even if his little brother was technically stronger then him. And besides, they had planned on an easy patrol anyway.
The distress signal got a sigh from the Uranus Page but he didn't tell Erebus that he wasn't allowed to help whoever it was that was in trouble, instead Siwa Oasis gave Venice a look and ran after Erebus. It didn't take long for the three to get to the battle zone and spot the many youma, including the greater one. "Oh this does not look good."
Her Friday nights led her ever outward in expanding circles, spinning from one place to the next, usually armed with coffee and a drink. Sometimes she may need to dust a youma, sometimes she might dance an avoidance dance with a Negaverse agent- if she explored far enough, maybe she'd find something new, or some small bit of that desperately-needed hope. Or someone new to spend some time with and get to enjoy chatting for a while, getting to know more about the people who now fought this battle.
The SOS startled her; her body jerked, hot coffee spilling over her hand as she hissed in soft frustration. A quick glance at her phone told her it was less than a mile away, at the power plant whose edge she could see in the distance; yet she couldn't feel anything. It might be a trap- but so too might have been the SOS that she had sent out only two weeks before. People had come for her SOS- she could return the favor, most certainly. Chucking her cup in the rubbish bin, and setting her small bag of donuts on a bench (someone might get desperate and eat them), she darted off in the direction the alarm dictated.
And came upon one hot mess.
Damn.
Youma were everywhere, and senshi were coming upon the scene, but this was.... a terrible amount of youma. A massive creature, and several mid-sized ones, and then even lesser ones. What was happening here? Why had they come to this place? Was this a distraction for something else? Lights were flickering off in the city- the mess that was going to be left behind here would be disastrous PR for the senshi as a whole. The cost of repairs, the fact that they inevitably got blamed for everything-
Sigh.
She smashed her foot through a youma's head, feeling it turn to dust around her and stared around the battlefield, trying to take in those allies who had arrived, and just what they were up against. She might want to take advantage of those arriving to find someone to help watch her back- it looked like they might need more than just one or two of her extra arms, with this many youma on their hands.

Scylla is open to anyone! <3 Just quote me and I'll be allll over it frands.
She had been hoping for someone to hear her and head her way, hoping for company and maybe someone with a clue as to what was happening. No such thing happened as the senshi of vampires stood there...in the darkness...alone. What did happen though was the feeling of something close by and then being proven right. It was a sudden attack, from a youma, that sent the senshi backpedaling rather quickly and landing on her a**. Her heels were not something she should really be moving quickly in, at least not yet. She was still getting used to running in them and maintaining her balance.
Picking herself up from the ground she didn't take the time to dust herself off, not with a youma right there in front of her. Stepping back, several paces, she moved away then, rather quickly, in the hopes of finding someone who had a clue. It was in that darkness she spotted someone glowing...and made right for them.
Finding out who it was, when she arrived, she was happy to see the familiar face. "Kallichore." Oh god was she happy to see the eternal senshi...and someone else with her. "This doesn't look good."

Page Venice.
To say he was against Erebus being out, on a patrol, would be too dramatic...but he was weary of it seeing as the other had just finished healing up. It wasn't just that but also the fact that Terry's mother would not be pleased with this, as they had sort of snuck out. She was still not happy with the idea of them, any or all of them, being knights and going out at night and possibly getting into fights...or being killed.
However, he was not about to let the other without him following along, despite the possibility of a very upset mother when they got home later in the evening. They might as well face that together - right?
While on an easy patrol, seeing as no youma or officer had come across them, he was surprised when not only Erebus' ring went off but his own. Well, this wasn't good...neither was Erebus deciding they needed to check it out and help. He was all for it, and would have gone on his own, but the other had only just recovered from one beating. He was now jumping into a possible second beating?
The look from Siwa didn't go unnoticed and was even returned as he followed after his fiance. This wasn't going to be good, not if it produced a distress signal to be sent out.
When they did arrive he stopped and just stared..and felt. "Very bad...a lot of youma..." He whispered to both of them. He was nervous, scared even, but he wasn't going to back down - they were already here. "Powers out too..." Had they noticed, in there running, that the cities power had gone out? He certainly had noticed the flickering and then the not so abrupt death of the power in the city. Had the whole city lost power? He wished for his normal phone so he could tell his two cousins what was going on, tell them to keep inside and safe. He hoped neither was here...that both were home and safe.

Eternal Sailor Harmonia
The evening promised of warmer temperatures to come. Spring was on it's way and for many of Destiny City (A specific senshi in particular), the changing of seasons couldn't come soon enough! As such, it made the evening practically beckon Harmonia from her bedroom to enjoy the mild temperature considering she had holed herself away in her room to study for a multitude of upcoming tests.
It felt like she had only just powered up when her senshi phone buzzed to life with the distress call. The Eternal didn't think twice. Within an instant she was headed towards the location, and as she drew nearer she could feel the multitude of other Order signatures swarming to the location. Oddly enough though, there was a lack of chaos being sensed. Was that something else going on? Was this a trap?
Well she couldn't just not help. Trap or not.
Upon arrival it became clear how many had already answered the call and it was not just on Order's side. The place was crawling with a multitude of youma of all levels. Several seemed they would put up quite the fight too!
As green eyes danced over what would soon be a battlefield, they fell upon a very familiar face. With a smile Harmonia hurried over to the Senshi of Butterflies, stopping alongside her. "Figures we'd meet up again in a place like this." She said, teasingly. "Glad to see you're still powering up though!"
The warmish evening meant a more comfortable patrol for the squire. It also told her that she'd seen be free of the bone chilling cold of winter which was a blessing. Hy-Brasil had never been much of a lover for the cold. She'd much rather warm summer evenings and a lack of need for layers. Yep, she was content. That was, until the distress call came through her signet ring and her heart sunk.
Another person was in trouble and Hy-Brasil took off like a bullet out of a gun. She needed to get there. She needed to help. After all, so many had helped Scholomance, there was no way she was just going to ignore a call. Plus, this would be another way to give the Negaverse another '******** You' note. She had no intention on letting them win. Let a series of losses bring down their morale. It could only help Order out.
Upon arrival it was apparent that this was going to be big. She wasted no time in picking off one of the small fry youma that had dared to target her. A few quick punches and kicks and it disappeared in a puff of dust. "Damn. They're out in full force tonight." She remarked as she saw the amount of milling youma. "What they hell is going on?"
OPEN FOR INTERACTION
Feel free to sidle on up to Hy and interact with her!
Without a ring there was no way for the page to be informed of the emergency quickly developing at the powerplant. No way besides a large section of the city going dark and order auras seeming to head that way. His skill at detecting and 'following' auras was still rudimentary but it didn't take a genius to figure out something was up. It also happened to be a good coincidence, or bad depending on how you look at it, that Tortuga had been in a small media store that specialized in anime that was in the blackout zone when the power went down.
Worried that something 'chaosy' was going on he had slipped outside and powered up. After following the other auras, more appearing the closer he got to the epicenter, Tortuga entered the field of battle. Youma... so many youma!
He had seen only a handful in one place at a time but this, this was insane! The shear amount would swamp anyone who was stupid enough to go it alone so it was really good that no one was alone in this city. There were always people, fighters, who were willing to step up to the plate to help out a stranger. The page dusted a small youma that tried to attack him even as he recognized several of the fighters. Two he had talked to relatively recently but there was one in a buttton of ruffles who had Tortuga do a double take.
While the senshi was strong with regards to power the page was a bit worried about how well she would fare in this fight. Especially since the last time they had talked she had admitted to him that she wasn't the best of fighters.

Hey Nephthys... remember Tortuga, he remembers you XD
Nether Wallop Page of Earth, really... really wasn't sure why he'd bothered to show up to this particular walk in nightmare... and he imagined it showed. He didn't have a ring, but he'd felt the energy on the move, and against everything he figured resembled better judgement... had decided to investigate, as apparently had other.
And good god it was a walk in nightmare. Like a closet except with an unreasonable number of eyes, spare limbs, and other assorted parts that seemed to be made specifically to traumatize or dismember.
"What the helllllll....." He breathed out, flinching at the nervous whine in his own voice. "s**t, Red I hope this wasn't what you were thinking of when you suggested I give this crap a shot..."
He thought about Mercy, wondered if the young, tired looking Redhead was out here somewhere and worried about that too. God if something happened to her it would damn well BREAK Lucas. And the poor b*****d had no idea she was out here doing this stuff. He mostly knew about Wallop because he'd been there at the time, and Kidder even worried about that part.
Fortunately,worry, while simultaneously making his shoulders knot, was also fueling a degree of hypervigalence... and that along with a desire not to get punched in the face or bitten or the like, gave him a small window to knock away a ambitious small youma that jumped for him, though the resulting yell was decidedly less than the pinnacle of machismo.
