Welcome to Gaia! ::

So Painite was quickly finding that she had made a very big mistake. Goddamn senshi were like brainless fish, schooling together and being inconvenient. Not that schools of fish were particularly inconvenient, but she didn't really have the time or presence of mind to come up with a better comparison.

It was difficult to say what she felt first. Everything started to hurt at one time, and she fell over without really being about to defend herself. Mr. Saddles landed somewhere nearby, but she was so torn by pain in her body, in her head, hell it might as well have been in the air around her, that she couldn't really care about her hobby horse. She cried out in agony, feeling nauseous and finding it impossible to move in a hurry.

She groaned and somehow managed to roll onto her stomach. Where her ears still attached? Her stomach still mostly covered by skin? Body still in one piece? Everything seemed to be in place, but she was more than dazed. Still, there was a battle to be fought, and she had to fight it. She knew no one was going to fight it for her: her Captain was still fighting and she had no idea where Proustite might be. And if they needed her help, she would have to handle this fight first.

She got up, wobbling, leaning on Mr. Saddles, and spying at least one of the senshi who had attacked. The one who sent the golden ring of pain at her. Bellatrix

"Alright, you tart, bring it on!"

"Alright then. Just remember, you asked for it," Bellatrix said, sinking in to an offensive stance and lunging at Painite, an elbow held out in front of her, the other hand holding her spear out behind her. Bellatrix wasn't being too nice to her injured shoulder, she knew, but it was a move that was usually worth the painful recoil.

Leopard's Eye snorted at her comment, but didn't otherwise seem to mind. If he had learned anything in his brief time in America, it was that American women were pushy, so why should their cat counterparts be any different?

He watched as she fired a laser off towards a red-haired Negaverse officer who looked nothing short of murderous, and despite his best efforts felt a pleased rumble growing in his throat. No. No. Not the purring. Not the ******** purring. Suki swallowed it down with a grumble and rolled his eyes up towards Chloe, “Hold on.”

Then, he was off, showing surprising dexterity as he wove between bodies. His claws collided with the back of an unfortunate Lieutenant, raking across muscle and bone as he used the boy's body as a jumping board, soaring briefly above Alcyone and Sassolite's heads. Caught up in the moment, he couldn't help but unleash a roar as they landed smoothly, not pausing as they made their way through the crowd.

There.

A gap between combatants showed a sliver of aqua hair, and Suki set his narrowed eyes on the woman he perceived to be one of their greatest threats. General-Queen Laurelite.

"She's the one. Be ready. After you attack, try to hide in the crowd. She can snap your neck without breaking a sweat."

Chloe's wittlebittleohsoverycute neck.

Oh good heavens, what had she done?

Painite stood her ground, though she did wish it would stop spinning and wobbling under her. It was really rude, and it was making her look unsteady. Or maybe it was her body that was swaying... she wasn't exactly sure, but those were just useless details. She had a senshi charging at her, and that was a problem.

A big problem.

She didn't have time to get out of the way, and pulled Mr. Saddles up in her defense, trying to shield herself from the hit with her arm, bracing her feet as best she could, while jabbing the stick end of Mr. Saddles as hard as she could at Bellatrix as she barreled over. Painite wasn't on steady ground, however, and when they crashed into each other she knew she was going to fall.

( i have permission from Demy to do this to schee! )
Lyra was still stumbling around some, not really all that accustomed still to what was going on.

Hell was there ANY sense to be made?

There were energy balls rolling around... freak weather incidents... and hell every once in a while, someone went flying into a pile of people. Yup.. a average day in the world of being senshi.

Right?

Right.

She was darting past a group of fighters, noting that there seemed to be at least a one to two ratio, senshi being more dominant. Good odds... Thats when she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. A familiar yellow haired Nega... Yellow hair... with a big a** blue guitar. Oh how she knew those two in combo so well... Only he seemed to not be fighting, and barking out orders. He also seemed to be using his guitar as a crutch....

"You know...... i dont hit cripples.." She said, approaching her arch nemesis. "But for you... ill make an exception." Balled fist? Meet schee's face. Which, caused him to fall backwards... just before she walked away.

She hated the b*****d... but she would kill him another day. When she did it ALONE. Her ego got in the way.

Turning around, she caught sight of two fighting.. clearly one was senshi and one nega..right?

One of them had a buttbow.. and a fuku like thing. Pink whites browns... the other was blue and white and black. Of course she was talking about Serandite and Zephyr. But.. the hell which was which?

She had never seen one of the other before.... and the tall tell signs are there but someare just... not ringing ang bells. Until she saw some sort of...magical bunny. That the girl was controlling. Oh, Okay.

"HEY!" She cried a moment, before tackling Serandite.

Uranophane's orders to attack something snapped Zanazziite back into a soldier's frame of mind. She had a direct order to fufill and if she did it well maybe she'd get some reward. She'd be happy with a pat on the back, and would lose her head if she got a gold star. Looking around she saw a senshi going after one of their own that looked a little worse for wear. Running towards them with antlers lifted she tried to scream some kind of intimating battle cry, but not having experience with intimidating battle cries it really just sounded like she was screaming at the top of her lungs.

Not stopping her momentum she threw herself at Bellatrix, using surprise as her ally to knock her over and divert teh spear swing to Painite's head. Rolling off the senshi she scrambled over to Painite attempting to help her up. She smiled at the other Lieutenant as if they weren't in the middle of a battle zone. "Hi!"

"Hah!" The sound of the captain's own pained cry gave Alcyone the satisfaction of knowing that her head-butting had not only worked, but may have even left a rain-drop indent smack in the middle of her forehead, to boot. Her smugness was soon enveloped with a world of pain as Sassolite yanked at her hair one last time (she could swear that quite a few strands were even pulled out), and just as she finally let go, the sailor soldier of storms hardly had the time to enjoy the released tension before getting kicked completely off.

Her abdomen hurt. Her scalp hurt. She rolled a bit of a ways incase Sassolite attempted to grab her again, and when she felt she was at a good distance, pushed herself right up -- in time to see a flying leopard float on by.

Was that the same leopard from space? There seemed to be a kitten on top that had a remarkable resemblance to Chloe.

When Alcyone finally brought her attention back, a few things happened in quick succession: one, Atlas used an attack, again. For her. Her heart swelled with pride at the sight, happy to be seeing her partner being assertive. Two: once that attack was over, Sass wasted no time in getting her composure together and firing off an arrow.

She could only stare as she saw the arrow fly towards them.
