Hokkaido felt both immense relief that the fluffy Mauvian was still in one piece, but also horror that the scary-looking dog youma had caught up to her. What should they do now? Who knew what kind of magic that youma possessed, after all.
--
Dalgona felt a similar feeling of elation at the knowledge that Hokkaido had managed to get to safety and get help as well, but also, worry, because they weren't out of the woods just yet, what with her being cornered by the youma and all. She was too exhausted to keep running, so it was quite possible this may very well end up being the end...
Or not? Dalgona's options were limited if she wanted to avoid becoming dog food, but they were running short on time. It would take an immense amount of energy, but perhaps all hope wasn't entirely lost, if she used her star laser?
"I would stay back, if I were you," the cat warned, attempting to sound intimidating in spite of how ragged she looked (and sounded) at this point of time.

Urania ran right up to Dalgona and the youma. She wasn’t afraid at all. A cat was being threatened and by a far larger creature, at that.
“I’d listen to the Mauvian.” Urania said sternly to the dog youma. “If you don’t, I’ll have to attack you.”
Ethe was not happy when the two senshi arrived. One head looked at each. They licked their lips.
They had been oh-so close they could taste the air and the fear of the little cat. But these two had to go and ruin it.
“It’s rude to interrupt a meal.”
Flames started to come from each of the dog’s two mouths.
The youma fired a shot at both, one at Urania and one at Hokkaido.

Magical Ability: Dual Flame. Ethe can fire flames out of each mouth. The right flame produces a burning sensation upon contact akin to being burned by fire and the left flame produces a caustic sensation upon contact akin to being burned by acid. The sensation lasts half a minute. Each can be launched twenty feet and cause moderate damage. It has two uses.
Hokkaido was no stranger to bad things happening when she dared venture outdoors as a senshi, and it certainly wasn't the first time they'd been directed her way, either! At the same time, the chibi senshi really preferred when they didn't happen, because she just wanted to live her life in peace, without having to worry and fret over what potential disaster might befall her this time around. Admittedly, that was hard to pull off when she had been brought into the middle of something way bigger than she could hope to understand, but still!
So while a two-headed demon dog youma shooting flames at them could be considered something that came with the job, it didn't mean that poor Hokkaido had expected this to happen! The poor girl yelped as the flame hit, feeling the burn for sure, her eyes welling up with tears. Why, oh why did it have to be her?
"Eek!"

Dalgona was appreciate at the (attempt) at help, but they were going to need more than one chibi senshi and her companion if they wanted to make it out of here in one piece. Problem was, at this moment, it was looking to be just that- two senshi, one cat, and one threatening youma who was going to be making a meal out of the cat if they didn't manage to figure out a way out of this situation soon. Still new to the job, Dalgona did not have a 'plan b' in mind, nor did any names come to mind that she could reliably call upon to intervene in time.
So she did the next questionably best thing in her state: mustering up the energy she had left in her, the ragdoll cat shot a charged star laser at the youma, in a bid to turn the tides in their favor, hopefully.
Urania barely managed to dodge the flame attack. Her back bow caught fire and she had to stop to put it out. Luckily, she had a very long back bow and the flames didn’t get to her skin.
She turned around to look at the youma again and scolded. “I said listen to the Mauvian! Star’s Link!”
She let the star form right under the dog and flare up.
nyamomask
Super: Star’s Link. An ethereal astronomy chart manifests around Urania and three stars become platforms to stand on. For the next 15 seconds, she can use the stars to create a path either vertically or at a 45 degree angle and cross over them. Allies may follow her on this path. However, enemies that try to follow will find that the stars will glow brightly, blinding them for 3 seconds and then disappearing under their feet. She can now summon the star immediately under an enemy to blind them for 3 seconds, but she will not be able to use the stars as platforms if she uses it in this way. Two uses.
The youma looked down at the star that the senshi had created under it only to be blinded in a stream of light.
“Not fair. There are more or you than we have heads.”
They howled as it snapped at enemies it could no longer see. Ethe could not see the Mauvian with either head now. They tried to sniff the air. But they would not get the chance to find the cat again.
Dalgona’s beam hit the youma when it could not see to move out the way. It took the full force of the beam. And it turned to dust.
“You did it. Well… done…” Dalgona managed to wheeze out, before sinking to the ground in a puddle of fluff, her energy spent. Goodness, she would need a very long nap after this! The youma was dusted, though Dalgona was uncertain as to if the danger had passed in full, or if there could be backup arriving, not to mention the uncertainty of if the youma would return or not. For now, though, there were more pressing matters at hand, such as-
Where were they, again?

"Dalgona!"
The poor shaken chibi senshi rushed forward to scoop up the huge ragdoll cat, a comedic sight any other time, when were they not having just gotten out of combat. Hokkaido couldn't tell if the Mauvian had suffered any injuries or if she was simply just out of stamina, though there wasn't much she could do about the former if so. At the very least, there was at least one thing she could do, and that was
"Dream Devourer!" she called, conjuring up the cute ethereal baku, using her magic to help restore energy to both Mauvian and the senshi that had helped them out. The magic wouldn't last long, but it would at least be enough to help them both gain their bearings in the meantime? Hokkaido didn't know how they'd get back home, but she could... call Lepus for that, maybe, if it came down to it. In the meantime, though, some thanks were in order.
"T-Thank you so much for helping us!" the chibi senshi told Urania, wishing she could show her gratitude in a better way, especially given that she just helped save the twins' cat. "I don't... I-I don't know what I would have done without you..."
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Dream Devourer
Hokkaido conjures up the cute ethereal baku again, that like before, ‘devours’ the ‘nightmares’ of either both herself and one ally, or two allies, leaving them feeling refreshed and more energized, as if they just woke up from a restful sleep. The effect is slightly stronger this time, and lasts for up to thirty seconds, and can be used twice.

“No problem!” Urania said. “I’m just glad you and your cat are okay!”
She watched as the senshi picked up her cat. What a relief!
