Welcome to Gaia! ::

Belmont, Page of Jupiter

He had never been to the moon. He’d never teleported, never been to his Wonder, never almost been blown up. Tonight was a lot of firsts for Belmont

Yetzirah had approached him just before the Center Console exploded in the field, and when they all arrived in the room they’d wound up fairly nearby. He had been a little dazed from everything. He hadn’t answered before the Console blew up, so now that things appeared to be safe, he nodded. “Yeah, I’m fine. You?” he asked, but kept his voice quiet because it just seemed a little wrong to speak too loudly here.

Like a library, kind of.

Sessrumnir’s voice drew his attention immediately and he turned to face him with a bit of confusion and surprise.

“Oh,” he said after a second, and then relaxed. He didn’t know why he had expected to get yelled at; he’d briefly wondered if maybe he’d gone too far? Not far enough? But, no. This was better than what he’d anticipated. He followed Sessrumnir’s gaze to the other room and then looked back to him. “Yeah, it’s fine. I get it. Is your arm okay?”

He hesitated and glanced towards Caedus. “...Is he okay?”

...And where were they, and what happened, and what was going on?

Voyager, Page of Pluto

There was a flash, it looked as if the generator was going to explode and Voyager had covered his eyes. When he opened them next however he had to pinch himself to tell that he was still alive and that they had only been transported elsewhere. It looked quite clean and he couldn't help but look around in awe.

His injuries appeared to be light now and he felt himself moving to some of the architecture. He grinned broadly as he touched it, wondering just what exactly it was made of, when it was made, and whatever else he could learn from it.

"This is amazing!" He exclaimed to no one in particular, though most likely everyone could hear him. He continued to touch them for a bit, wondering if he could just get a little tiny piece to bring back to his Wonder. Though, without knowing where they were or what this place was, bringing something back now would be pointless.

((Open for interaction!))

Hyperborea, Transcended Knight of the Cosmos


Hyperborea had braced her self when the explosion happened ready for the worst but there was no pain no instead she found herself being pulled along by a gentle light. She was eventually deposited in a beautiful ethereal area that she knew could only be the Moon. She had only been to this sacred place a handful of times but she would recognize it anywhere. The star map on the ceiling caught her attention first a bright glowing white star entrancing her. "Princess?" She wasn't sure how she knew that star was her princess Sailor Cosmos and the Cauldron but she was certain deep in her soul it had to be her. There was the Code, the very piece that they had purified all those years ago, whatever was happening here she figured it had to be important. Her wisp suddenly reappeared next to her bouncing happily at seeing her again. "Hey little guy it's good to see you still in one piece."

Then she began looking frantically around the room for her friends. When she spotted them she rushed over embracing them all. "Caer, Delphi, Læraðr I'm glad you three are alive. How badly are you hurt? I'm sorry that battle happened like it did. We should never have trusted Lyndin." She said disappointed in herself, she was senior not in age but in rank except for Delphi, she should have protected them better been better prepared but she never expected the kind of nightmare that had just happened. "Let's see this through though." She suggested hoping the others would agree with her.

She turned to Caedus who was prone on the floor. She gently took hold of Caer who seemed the worst for wear of her little group. "Come on. I don't have much left in me but I think I can perform a bit of healing magic." She said going over to the alien man who had also been through so much. She gave a nod to Scylla and to Oberon who was by his side. She was glad to see the Cadet from before by Caedus' side. "Caedus I'm glad you're alive! You deserve a chance to decide your own destiny, you deserve a chance to live and save your world through your own actions not some forced rebirth." She said to the man. "It's not much but I can offer a bit of healing." Then she turned to everyone assembled. "For anyone who would like I can offer a bit of healing just gather around Caedus, I don't think I have the energy to do it for long but it should provide at least a bit of relief." She called out. She waited a bit to see if anyone was interested before she took her war horn and summoned Cerynitis. The golden antlered white deer with bright purple eyes and bronze hoofs appeared before her and dipped her head to the ground creating a nebula like illusion on the ground, the nebula was heavenly to stand in.

It didn't last for long though as her magic ran dry and she stumble a bit catching herself with her staff and using it to prop herself up. She looked to the voice that spoke to them all her eyes narrowing. "Who scheduled an appointment and which Queen?" Was it referring to the Moon Queen after all this time or perhaps Cosmos. She wasn't sure but she supposed if this Queen would see them now she wouldn't have to wait long to find out.

Squire Pendour

Pendour had died once before.

It wasn't something she thought about much. Honestly, it paled in comparison to a lot of the trauma she'd endured, but she knew what it felt like to stop breathing, knew what it felt like to have her body shut down.

This was different, and she had no reservations about letting herself relax into the dreamy, calm sensation that followed the two explosions.

Even when her feet settled onto the stone floors of the Moon castle, the calm remained. Her hands ached, and when she looked down, she saw blisters on her palms and angry red marks in the shape of water-dappled sunlight climbing up her arms. The ache was better than the burning she'd felt a few minutes earlier, though.

She glanced around the gathered crowd and spotted Oberon kneeling next to Caedus, who was struggling, still, but alive.

They'd done it.

She walked over as quickly as her tired feet would take her, wanting to do at least a little to protect Caedus from anyone who still might not think his life worth living. When she got close, though, she collapsed next to Oberon in a tangle of spindly limbs, and she leaned sideways to rest her head on her friend's shoulder, a silent gesture of support and thanks.

And yes, maybe it was a little because she needed the contact to ground herself right now.

She would have done the same for Encke, but she had spotted a suspicious Uranus knight looking in his direction before they'd been whisked away, and she didn't want to get in the middle of any of that.

To Caedus, she said, "You can get energy out of this, can't you? So you can feel better?"

From subspace, she summoned the tiny drawstring pouch she kept his draining crystal in, only wincing a little as the string touched her damaged fingers.

"I was worried. You didn't deserve any of that."

Her eyes were soft as soft.

Andronicus Knight of Uranus

The scream snapped her eyes open in time to see the nova of colors and light that was the comet exploding. They'd gotten his starseed back. They'd done it. She wondered what it cost though... She mourned for the knights that would never awaken again, for the senshi of the comet that was now gone and destroyed. She mourned for the cadets and commanders lost, for those who'd fallen to Chaos. She mourned for Lyndin.

An explosion went off behind her.

In another life, in another circumstance, Andronicus may have sided more fully with Lyndin's cause. Would have understood the reason behind his actions more. May have even understood why he'd sided with the Negaverse.

Things were as they were, though. She could not move, not really, and closed her eyes. She'd died once in a future that hadn't come to pass. She'd carved a path through her fellows, then ended her own life to escape the hell she'd fallen into.

A second explosion went off.

Perhaps it was fitting here, since she'd killed someone, that she go out here. They were all doomed in one way or another, after all.

I'm sorry... Rene...

She let her eyes slide shut again as light overtook her and she fell.

The universe seemed to have other plans though, and she awoke with a groan somewhere else. It reminded her a little of Chauvet's wonder, but it was distinctly something else. Voices floated to her - Scylla chastising the computer for a late appointment, people asking Caedus if he was okay, Castor sighing and ruffling his feathers. Andronicus pushed up to her feet slowly, groaning and took stock of the space. She left Caedus alone for the time being; too many around him, and focused on the charged piece of the Code. A page of... Jupiter was poking it, but that didn't stop her from approaching it.

"... I'm guessing the pieces that were on Archideus returned to you, since it's gone now..." she said quietly, voice somber and flat. Would that she could ask Lyndin what the whole plan was... the point even. No. Not any more. She could only focus on the present now.

And whether or not Caedus would survive.

The Space Cauldron

Talking to the Code, as she do

Wavesoul Fantasia

Proximity!

Cadet Vaylin

Vaylin covered her face when the explosion went off sure she was about die but instead she found herself drifting through space on a gentle river of light. She was deposited in a strange but beautiful place. She had no clue where she was or what was happening but it seemed like all of order and a handful of her fellow Cadets were here.

She spotted here prince and rushed to his side. "Prince Caedus are you alright?" She didn't know what having your starseed removed and replaced would do to a body but she couldn't imagine it was good. "Lixian, you're here too." It was less a question and more a statement. She was glad to see some Cadets still with her not all of them had gone wherever the Commodore had gone.

She looked to the knights and senshi around the prince. "Thank you all for saving him! I'm so sorry for what the Commodore did, we didn't know what his real plan was." She said to those assembled, hoping they understood hoping they would not blame or shun herself and the other cadets who stayed behind but at the same time she could understand it if they did.

There was a voice speaking to everyone telling of Queen, Vaylin didn't know what that meant. Queen of the Earth? It was hard to say but she hoped whoever this Queen was that she could help them and all of the injured senshi and knights.

Super Sailor Nephyhys

Was she surprised things were going bad? Nope, not one bit. She had a feeling things wouldn't go well, not once summoning agents of chaos was brought up. Before that she was hopeful and thought they might just end this war. When the first blast went off the senshi of vampires had been thrown back and rolled across the ground, covering her legs in dirt as well as her uniform which was drity and grass stained. There were some rips and tears here and there, scratches and some thin trickles of blood, from rocks. But she wasn't too hurt. She still hadn't made it out of the fighting without taking some damage but really...she would manage. She just hoped that something would help them...because they were otherwise stuck with something about to explode on them.

When she thought it would end - that they'd all end...something else happened. Groaning as she closed her eyes against the harsh light the senshi of vampires didn't open her eyes again till it didn't seem so bright.

Where they were she wasn't entierly sure...she'd never been there before.

Sitting up she took her shoes off, she was sure there was no way she'd be standing on them for the rest of the night, and climbed up onto her fee then. "Scylla!" Calling out for her friend, her only friend in this whole battle, hoping the other was here and had somehow made it out. It didn't take too long to find her thought...by Caedus of course. Laughing and choking on a sob she made her way towards Scylla on shaking legs. "Oh...we made it." She was happy - so happy. She hadn't thought they would when that thing had gone about trying to kill them. "What happened?" Sinking down by the others side, ignoring the others around them in favor of comfroting herself with the other senshis presence. She was to the only one the senshi of vampires really knew...since Kallichore had vanished on her.

Mont Saint Michel, Knight of Saturn

Lysithea was gone.

He’d managed to make his way over to her before the generator exploded. He managed to shield her.

He hadn’t managed to save her.

Michel stared at the empty space where she should have been, stunned at the reality of all of this. He was drowning in a sea of Order signatures and they all felt wrong.

She should be here, in front of him.

He could feel a tenseness in his back; he didn’t know how badly he’d been injured in the explosion but it wasn’t enough to kill him, so it was probably fine.

In the back of his mind he knew he should go to Malus, and Adria and even Soleiyu.

He knew he should check on them.

But, how was he supposed to face them when he’d let her slip through his fingers? And where was Monoceros, why hadn’t he done something?

Michel tried to push himself up but he only made it into a seated position. He couldn’t wrap his head around it, she was right there, and now she wasn’t.

She was gone.

...He didn’t know what to do without her.

Soleiyu

He’d known she was lost as soon as it happened. He felt a stab in his heart when he lost her. She was his, his bonded Senshi. He’d been in denial, hoping--praying--that it was a mistake. That the Chaos was confusing him.

But now, they were here--on the Moon. A place devoid of Chaos.

And, she wasn’t here.

Soleiyu frantically looked to his group, to all of them. He counted them, four times. He pried himself from the group he’d been with.

They were missing one.

His Senshi.

It was selfish, he knew. He would have traded any of them for her, and he shouldn’t have thought such a thing but he would have. She was special to him. His chest ached, like a thousand little needles had punctured it. Every muscle ached and burned, and it felt like a piece of his heart was missing.

He took a few steps more before he stumbled.

Lysithea wasn’t here.

Which meant, she was either corrupted, or dead.

Either way, she was gone.

Malus, Senshi of Glass

Malus stared at his hands--distinctively human and it was like he was looking at them for the first time, again. He couldn’t believe that there was no blackness, no fur, no claws. It was his body, not what the Chaos had warped it into when Sanidine corrupted him, accidentally, all those years ago.

It felt like he was walking through water. His thoughts were there, but distant, and it was a struggle to grasp at anything that made sense. He didn’t know where they were, or why, or what was going on. He remembered an explosion and his ears were still ringing. He remembered heat, and light, and--

Adria was bloody and unconscious in Lupu’s arms. Soleiyu had run around, but he hadn’t seen where he went. Necromanteion was next to him. Where was Monoceros? Oh, there. By Michel, but…

Something was wrong. Michel wasn’t the sort to just sit on the ground like that. Had he been hurt?

And--

Malus swallowed and looked around. A shiver ran down his spine and goosebumps peppered his skin. He felt like he’d been dunked in ice water.

When he spoke, his voice was quiet and raspy: “Where’s Lysithea?”
