Given his druthers Sodalite would have been glad to be given another task besides trying to keep this super senshi down and out for the count. Especially since now he was nursing a very sore shoulder where the senshi's foot had managed to connect. It meant that he was able to at least fight someone on his level in a one-v-one mentality. It was something more suited to his power level meant that even as another voice rang out to stop did Sodalite rise from his crouch with a visible wince as he tested out his injured arm. Okay, so the kick hadn't seemed to shatter anything but damn was he going to need an ice pack or heating pad when this battle was all over and done with. Switching hands so that his weapon was now situated in his good arm did the lieutenant walk forward to stop the page in his tracks. "How about you stop where you are. Not sure who you are but this is a private affair. And you are not welcome to attend."
Without much warning Sodalite swung out with his weapon intent on perhaps knocking out the newly arrived page. Momentum twinged through his injured shoulder but he was going to follow Fafnir's instructions to "take care of the newcomer" to the best of his ability.
The other battle seemed all but forgotten. It seemed as if they'd subdued the stronger order signature between both of their efforts and now only this lowly pest of a page remained. "If you leave now, I'll even let you go fair and square."

The young man now clad in purple and gold narrowed his green eyes at the swaggering guy who had grabbed him earlier. It honestly felt like it was a decade ago that he accosted them but it was more like moments, minutes maybe. Either way he was leery at just how fast the s**t could be. Something that was reinforced when the fellow suddenly swung his pink mace thing at him after trying to warn him off. His own stubbornness wouldn’t truly let him run from a fight he was already set to engage in. He might have sucked as a fighter but he could at least keep this one busy so it's no longer two against one. With his decision clear the young man didn’t hesitate, he ducked the swing and went for a rugby tackle. He might not have played anything more than a friendly game or two but he at least knew the basics. Besides, it was always useful in pub brawls.

With Sodalite taking care of the page, Fafnir was free to give all of his attention to the super on the ground. The energy he pulled from her seemed to be doing its job as her struggles weakened and his confidence grew. He pulled harder at her energy, the glowing orb forming in the palm of his hand. Maybe he could even drain enough to knock her out... he'd never been lucky enough to get close enough for long enough to do that. It would be something to brag about, in a sly, sideways manner. How many of Faustite's other subordinates had managed it?
The sudden appearance of those scorpions cut him off from that achievement, forcing him to jump back as they rushed him. There was no way he was letting those wicked looking stingers anywhere close... but dodging giant bugs was a distraction, pausing the harsh draw of energy while he got out of reach and tried to circle back around.--------------- Not terribly far away, at the intersection of two street, Ida jumped as her phone began a shrill alarm. Her already stretched nerves vibrated with tension as she scrambled to get the damned thing out and turn off that noise. Only once it was gone was she able to actually look at the distress signal on the map, noting two order signatures and two chaos ones. Not bad odds, but if a distress signal was going out, then Order was losing and probably badly.
"Come on, Illy, we have to go help them." Ida said as she picked the cat, her cat, up and set her on her shoulders. Her weight and warmth was a comfort after that sudden surprise. "I think an Eternal should help turn things in their favor."
Not a princess, but an eternal. I hardly deserve that title, but they don't need that much power. It'd just cause more problems than it solved.
Ida ran in the direction the map pointed her, stretching out her senses to feel for the signatures displayed on it.

Sodalite had hoped that his swagger would turn the other order-aligned stranger away but as the purple-outfitted man charged him instead the Lieutenant knew that it had been mere wishful thinking. At least there was time to set his feet apart to brace for the impact that would surely follow. Who knew, maybe he could try the same trick with this Page that he'd chanced with the super senshi. Even as he was nearly bowled over with the force of the tackle did Sodalite at least try to swing his weapon around a few times. If the toy connected with any exposed, vulnerable flesh then the better it would be for him.
Concentrating at this moment in order to try and siphon off this newcomer's energy was a dangerous tactic until he was sure that his opponent was subdued first. For that to happen his wild flailing of his weapon needed to hit something, anything. Considering that this page didn't even seem to have a weapon that was something that would work out in Sodalite's favor. But even as he took an errant punch to his gut did he feel an even stronger aura heading their way. It wasn't that close, yet, but he wondered if perhaps this fight was going to turn against his and Fafnir's favor relatively soon. "Incoming!"
---- Illyria had been mid-process of grooming when the shrill alarm sounded. She recognized that alarm. She knew what it meant. It hadn't been that long ago that she, Illyria herself, had responded to such an alarm. Dropping the paw that had been halfway up to pass over her right ear did the Mauvian feel herself being picked up off the ground and deposited firmly on Ida's shoulders. There was a noticeable tenseness to Ida's posture that Illyria was trying to gently soothe away the best she could, albeit a gentle paw tapping to the side of Ida's neck before stilling the motion. It wouldn't do well to distract her bonded partner as she ran but she did quickly rub her head into the crook of Ida's shoulders affectionately before she turned her gaze to face the direction they were speeding off in. Her voice was soft as she answered Ida's musing, "Agreed. I also think it'd be wiser if I stay as my small self too. I'm able to manoeuvre more nimbly like this than as my human self. And in this form I don't attract as much attention as I would as I would if I stood on feet, but if you need me to change forms I will."
Illyria fell silent for a moment before the distinct auras of chaos and order began to register on her senses. She would follow Ida's lead even if it meant being the one to lead the others to a relatively safe space while Ida went to work. On one hand there wasn't much that she could do to offer support unless she actively tackled one of the chaos auras because like it or not she knew she had to be conservative when it came to using her beam as it would severely wipe her out. Looking between the two groups of combatants did Illyria sigh before resuming waiting for instructions that might not even come in due time. Her ears swivelled back and forth as she cast out with her own senses, trying to ascertain if it were just these few combatants or if danger hid somewhere nearby.

Antares grinned weakly, and yet with pride, as the corrupt skittered away from her ghostly scorpions. “Awwww. Don’t like my little friends?” Her quip nearly dripped in sarcasm even as she tried to get to her feet. It was slow going, pretty much everything hurt but the pain was focused at two spots mainly; her core muscles and her ankle. Even in the dim lighting that was the shadowy park she could see the rapidly spreading discoloration that was a bruise from the lucky strike the baby nega got in. I hope its just a bruise, she mentally noted that putting any real weight on it nearly made her cross eyed in pain. It bloody a** hurt. She did her best to hide just how bad the injury was so she stood there and grinned when the order aura washed over her, holding up her own phone to indicate that she was the reason that reinforcements were on the way, rapidly at that. “Oops, someone is in trouble now. Best run home to mommy before things get worse.” The blonde didn’t recognize the aura but it was stronger than she was, and it was close. So very close. A quick glance over at the two ‘weaker’ fighters to see them grappling. The knight was unknown to her as well. Oh goodie, this was going to be fun… not so much. - - - : - - - Honestly he wasn’t too concerned about the pink toy at least until it whistled past, he had ducked because he still didn’t want to get hit, and the sound made him think it wasn’t quite as childish as it first looked. It had some weight behind it. So rather than try to take the guy to the ground where it was possible to just get him to stop, the purple clad man just tried to strike him enough to make him stop swinging around that damn toy. He paused when the other guy shouted out ‘incoming’ and looked around, concerned that the cops were coming to break up the scuffle. How was he going to explain his current outfit? He didn’t see anything but he did note that the other two fighters seemed to have separated some, the blonde was even standing. His pause to figure out who was coming came to an end when that damnable pink nuisance thwacked into his side. With a growl of annoyance and pain the young man tried to punch the little yank once again.

The eternal pressed a hand to her partner as Illyria rubbed against her neck, offering back a caress for the comfort she was given. The Mauvian was always attentive and there was a part of Ida that absorbed that affection like a flower drank in sunshine. It was a balm, even if it couldn't quite dispel the awful, nagging feeling she seemed carry with her every day now. Like something was very wrong, but she didn't know what and couldn't find it.
She had to push those thoughts away as she broke into the park, running down the asphalt path between the swaths of just-starting-to-green spring lawns. She could feel the energy signatures now, picking out the different sides and ranks. With them all so close together, the sense was a little muddy, but her eyes made up for that.
Sliding to a halt, Ida threw up her arm and flower petals trailed after it, falling to form into the shape of a bow. She grabbed it, drew the string, and called to life the glowing arrow tipped in another petal. The eternal aimed for the corrupt super, his dark hair trailing to pale blue where it hit the ground. He was the biggest threat, and if she could scare him off, that would be the end of it.
"Heavenly Orchid Arrows." She murmured as she released it, sending the arrow roaring across the space between them.----------- He felt the eternal power signature only a little before something loud and bright came at him. Fafnir threw up an arm at the last moment to block it, but it exploded, hitting hard enough to knock him off his feet. He grunted as he hit the ground, rolling to get his feet back under him. He was not going to be caught on his back, where that blonde could pound him.
Across the little clearing of the park, he got a good look at that senshi Faustite had throw such a fit over. She'd escaped once, but he could imagine Faustite would be quite glad to see her again... if his health was up to it.
He almost didn't call, then. Part of him worried. Would this be too much stress on the general? He weighed that against how much he might want this princess-in-disguise... and he did have a whole team of support, if he wanted it. Back pedaling to put some pace between them, Fafnir gave the blonde senshi a quirk of his eyebrow and visibly pulled out his own pen communicator, activating it.
"Fafnir, requesting back up. Facing off against a super senshi, a page and the Princess, Ida, with Sodalite. Awaiting orders." He said into it, sending off the message.
Now it would be up to Faustite and the others where this little part was going.

Sodalite had been trying to get close enough to his opponent in order to at least try to draw a little of the young man's energy away from him. But with all the dancing around that was going on it just wasn't at all possible to both maintain a good grip on his opponent and concentrate long enough to start the draining process. In one split second his attention was diverted long enough from the approaching signature of order that Sodalite's focus slipped and as a result he received a hefty blow to his ribs. Oh, if that didn't sting. The lieutenant hunched over before once more straightening to lash out with his weapon before backing away from the unknown page.
As he managed that he saw, rather than felt the attack that was launched at Fafnir and for all his swagger before Sodalite hastily moved to his comrade's side. He took in the appearance of the newcomer before casting a glance to where his opponent still was standing. Even as Fafnir put out a call for reinforcements did Sodalite continue to observe some similarities between this Ida ... and the one he'd been fighting. Similar coloration of clothing was noted and he'd make sure to submit a report to that effect. For now he waited for whatever move was going to be next. Even as he absently rubbed at the area that had been struck did he keep an eye on all the individuals that were seemingly stacking up against Fafnir and himself.
---- Illyria's focus was on the situation that was unfolding before them even as Ida unleashed her attack on the strongest owner of the chaos signatures that were present. She noted the hunched over form of a lowly-ranked lieutenant before spotting the super senshi and the owner of an aura that was the weakest amongst all of those of order persuasion. Even as she was ready to leap into action to at least see others off to possible safety did her ears twitch as words reached them. Illyria narrowed her gaze onto the corrupt super that she had seen once before as it appeared he was speaking into some sort of device. Calling for backup maybe? Either way her paws itched to do something about it but she had a feeling the message had already been received by the intended audience.
"I hope I'm wrong but we might have more company incoming," was a quiet murmur into Ida's ear.(( fin for Illyria & Sodalite in this rp? ))

Antares grinned, it was a toothy almost feral grin, when she felt the stronger aura arrive. A smile that grew wider when a flash of light and the sound of an explosion seemed to push back the corrupt senshi. She wasn’t affected by the magical explosion, other than some light blindness that was rapidly fading that is, so she took that time to make her way towards the eternal senshi. It hurt to move but she needed to do so. She wasn’t in the best of shape and knew that while she still had some magic up her sleeve she wouldn't be able to be as physical in a fight as she once was. Years away, only brawling with normal civilians when they pissed her off, and nine months of not doing even that took a real toll on her body. The plastic mace to her ankle didn’t help things at all. She just wanted to sit down and not move… at all. Sadly it wasn’t an option. The blonde stumbled over a dip in the ground, hissing in pain. When a purple clad arm was held out she glanced at the knight, a pale brow raised. She took the offered assistance and together they hobbled their way over towards the eternal. “Thanks,” She muttered, “I’m Antares by the way. Appreciate the assist.” Even if he wasn’t all that strong he still helped keep that baby nega off her back. - - - : - - - The brazen attacker wasn’t much of a bar fighter, or at least he didn’t think that was the case. He did muffle a curse when the plastic toy thwapped him in the back, making him hiss in pain, he thought he was out of range but the flying ball of solid pink plastic was apparently closer than he thought. Arms protected his head but there was only so much he could do, so when the dark clothed man disengaged he didn’t pursue. Once separated green eyes took in the new figure, noting that she was also wearing purple and gold like he was. He filed that little tidbit away mentally and hurried over to the blonde that had been there since the start. The one that looked a little worse for wear. He approached and offered a helping hand. Once it was taken they both made their way over towards the newcomer, he had no clue who she was but at least she seemed to be on ‘their side’. Whatever that meant. She introduced herself as they reached the side of the lady in purple and gold. “Sigiriya… wait, no, that's wrong.” He frowned as a completely different name popped out when he tried to introduce himself.
