Welcome to Gaia! ::

After jamming her peppers into the throne, Pomona realized that perhaps she wasn’t in the best place to be. As she scrambled out of the way, an oddly colored caught her eye. Looking, she realized it wasn’t snow, but a crystal. That certainly explained why this snow witch had been so hard to defeat, and it also made it obvious to Pomona what her next move would be: trying to get that crystal!

Through the snow, Mica had noticed a number of strange things. For one, some guy had managed to find a horse. For another, General Linarite was standing around doing nothing. And finally, there was another crystal to be had! Sure, she had one already, but she wanted another, wanted the power, and wanted to please the Queen. She’d put her cane through the b***h’s face to get it, given half a chance.

Regulus himself was praying to lay hands on the crystal, and just dancing around trying to generate a little more body heat in the bitter cold, something his uniform wasn't exactly built with a mind for. Maybe he could get that other fire girl to set up some burnable junk and they could all get -warm-. Could they fight from around a bonfire? He really didn't see why not.

"Come on, come on!" He yelled to no one in particular, trying to get in a position to at least see where the crystal would land, if not catch it ((That piece of luck seemed unlikely))

Minimum he could get in on a senshi-dog pile attack on the nega that got it, if they were fast enough. He still go a round or two... though he wasn't real sure about his fingers and toes at this rate.

In the light of all the amazingly chaotic things that were happening all around everyone, it was easy to overlook a few things... all eyes, it seemed, were on Kaguya in some form, whether it was her throne, her crumbling body, or the aqua-colored Crystal visible where her eye had once been. It was only natural, then, that Andeon and his lovely horse were things that no one cared about right now. Only Andeon thought it was amazing. It was very tragic, very sad.

Except, that wasn't quite true. There was someone else in Destiny City who cared. And he was heading in Andeon's direction right now, his attention drawn away from the battle that was coming to a triumphant and spectacular close behind him.

"Wow, a horse!" Kurma exclaimed with a hushed tone of fascination. He hovered in the air so he was just about eye level with Andeon, giving him a grin before reaching down to pat the Clydesdale on the neck.

(ROLL for zephyr)

Aeria leaned against a wall. She had been injured from the Queen's attacks earlier on. Sharp icicles were deadly, she reflected, staring down at a bloodied palm. She had been careless and an icicle had hit.

She shook her head, purple eyes staring, mirthless, at Kagura. With the last of her strength, she could muster, her hand touched the icy ground to invoke her crystal attack.

The combination of fighting, weariness, wounds and the weather had Aeria nearly about to collapse. It seemed that some had energy, some were in the same position as Aeria, or some were still fighting strong. It simply could't be helped.

It had been stupid really, not something that Chibimoon should have attempted even with the warm arms of her Priest around her. Energy had to come from somewhere to charge an attack and unlike Juno who could pull from others, Small Lady could only pull from inside of herself to use her attack. Even with the juice of an Eternal senshi to pull from the energy leaving her body in a rush was a physical draining that she could feel down to the marrow of her bones along with the cold that rushed in to fill the void of energy.

For Sailor Chibimoon the fight was over. It was up to everyone else now but strangely, it didn't matter. Chibiusa was warm in the arms of the one person she was determined most to protect and be protected by, the person she was adamant to be near always. Yes their situation had changed and she was unsure where to go with it but the feelings inside of her warm heart had never faltered or altered. A thin arm slid cautiously around the waist of the Dream Senshi to support herself as Chibimoon's legs again gave out from under her.

Ruby eyes could barely stay awake but she had to say something first. First to Juno and Hugbell, whose loyalty and help could not be denied. "It is your job now. I believe in you!" A smile to show that she wasn't so very tired that she had forgotten their help, nor valued it any less. But when her lids drooped lower, the next statement was all for Pegasus.

"Thank you. You are very warm."

His hitting rage over and done with, Themis had to bring himself back to reality, as much as he wanted to punch and kick until there wasn't even the slightest shard left of this so called 'princess'.

The crystal.

He saw his team assemble, in a way - Regulus, Polaris, Europa, and he was sure he had seen the less-familiar Pomona earlier as well - and he readied himself as well.

This one wouldn't go to the enemy, even if he had to break every bone in his body to make it happen.

Maia was shocked to see or more properly to feel that familiar energy, she had felt it before. Twice before to be exact. Her attack of the ice princess halted momentarily and she gaped at the see the glow, that familiar glow. She frowned slightly.

It figured this would come back to that. That meant even when they did defeat the princess, looking around, their might be a small problem. Someone had to get the crystal. Would it turn into an all out free for all. There were civilians fighting as well. Oh why now, why did another have to show now.

Maia was a bit confused as well, they were very close to destroying the ice princess, but she had seen what the crystal had done to Don Diablos. She wondered if it was the same, could they be destroying an innocent. Maia was a bit torn, kill the princess or try to grab the crystal.

While she pondered this she edged closer shivering in the terrible cold, an icicle she had not realized she had clutched in her hand. She sighed lightly her eyes going breifly skyward, before she chucked the icicle as hard as she could at the base.

She then ran forward, not really sure what exactly she was doing, but knowing that the crystal count as far as she knew, was currently 1:1:0, negaverse to unknown to senshi. That was not a good thing in her opinion.
