She was-- Elpis felt her stomach clutch and her heart pratically pounded, remembering the corrupts. Holes in their heads and chest. Psychotic, violent, nasty - and this - was this the process?. No. No no no no no NO!
She didn't know the other senshi, she didn't think her magic would help much. but it might distract Laurelite from Harmonia in time, and Elpis looked to Porrima and Cor Caroli, motioning.
"Gwt ready to help me try kiting around." She noted. The Senshi spun, and mentally shut her eyes, murmuring an apology to her family in the event she fouled up again, but she couldn't let another senshi become chaotically consumed. Be killed and turn into a monster to fear.
There but for the grace of God go I.
Elpis then braced to run, and cast off her attack quickly, aiming her throw for the arm after Harmonia, before the senshi suddenly shot like a bolt to begin trying to avoid a risk of being cornered by the General Queen. If it threw her off, great; but if not... Well, Elpis at least had experience fighting her brother, and he was bigger and stronger.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Steel Spray Surprise Sailor Elpis faces an opponent, summoning chunks of steel into her hands before throwing them at an opponent's feet where they burst apart into pieces of shrapnel. The chunks are sharp, and can cut through fabrics (Except for leather or denim or similar) and cut skin for a good deal of pain. Lasts 30 seconds before the steel disappears. Sailor Elpis can only use this three times a day, with the steel clusters shrinking each time.
ELPIS CAN NO LONGER MAGIC FOR THE DAY. :I

Elpis tried Harmonia. ;_;[/uote]

Dumb baby is only trying to stop her, not kill. And the magic is last cast so it;s probably p. small.
Sailor Alsafi
Alsafi huffed at Kitalpha, looking down as she let go finally, and kicked her =- her arms were a bit tired, after all, and the senshi wasn't too afraid of the corrupt.
"Pah." Alsafi snorted. "You're a whiny little b***h. As for me? Biutch, you don't know shite." A vicious grin crossed her face. She had no idea what this senshi was thinking, but the grin was downright vicious and too toothy, Alsafi's eyes glinting.
"Sweetlin', I'm just warming up to beat the everloving s**t out of you."
Sami-Fire
SENPAI IS DUMB PORRIMA. COR YOUR BRO IS A STUPID. As for Kitalpha, not otherkin, just a bit carried away.
Lt. Coffinite
It didn't take long, but a senshi had attacked Coffinite with magic, and for a moment, he saw nothing. However, it didn't bother him as much as it likely would many.
The Lieutenant laughed coldly and emptily, his laughing growing in hysteria as she stayed still, listening. He could hear' feet and yelling and fighting, and he strained to hear his opponent, to feel the displaced air of movement, and Coffinite frinned, teeth pointed and vicious as he did so.
"You call this problematic, do you?" The Lieutenant drawled. His tone was unsettlingly calm, eyes flashing dangerously, even blinded.
"Sight is but one sense, of many, many more. And this is my native territory. Now, then.... Do you actually think that will give you a BOOST?"
Sailor Hawl
Look out Coffinite is not impressed easily. Sigh. HE'S STILL NOT HARD TO DEFEAT I SWEAR.
His magic had, to Remus's surprise, actually managed to do something, for which he was profoundly grateful. He let out a whoop of satisfaction and turned to grin at the knight beside him, looking particularly pleased with himself at the whole ordeal.
"Sessrumnir, is it?" said Remus with a laugh. "What a strange name you've got, but I guess it's kinda badass all the same."
The General Queen was doing something terrible, of course, and Remus was close enough to watch with a sort of morbid fascination as the senshi's uniform began to shift colors. He could have gone to try something, but it seemed rather a long stretch, as there were a dozen other people blocking the way; so instead, Remus just turned to look at the others.
"So," he said conversationally, "This all sort of sucks, doesn't it?"

Nirvana, Page of Pluto - Ready to set Havasu's busted arm
Nirvana, though distracted by the sudden change of events, kept his eye on Havasu. He groaning deeply as the man seemed to once again force himself to overdo things. This time he even brought another into the fray, and that...well this man had the code.
He cursed and watched as this newcomer fell to the ground. He seeing many of those around him to the same. A skill? A power? Something had stopped them in their tracks and he would be damned if they missed this window of opportunity.
He knew that he would more than likely get a tongue lashing for this later, but he stormed over to Havasu. He looking to Kai laying there on the ground and then glared at the man before him. "Arm...now!"
He did not even wait for the man to offer it, he moved with the enhanced speed given to him, placing one hand behind the man's shoulder blade, the other making a quick, jolting motion at the joint of his arm. It was flat handed, but with his added strength he could feel the joint pop. He glaring at the man even as he heard the others sounds of pain.
Finished with the action, he dropped Havasu, he shaking his head and moving to carefully gather Kai up from the heap he was on the ground (Feel free to tell him no) "We need to move fast...We don't have much time and I am going to get you to the portal if I have to die to do it."
------------------------------------
Kastra, Senshi of Meditation
The young senshi did what she could to ignore the drama that was going on behind her. She focusing her mind on the fight at hand. It wasn't until everyone seemed to fall around her that she was suddenly paying attention to what was going on outside their group. Someone had cast an attack, and a good one at that.
She looked around, seeing those that they fought fall. She looking to those in her group, she nodded as many stated they should run. She could not have agreed more on this point. Though, she looked down at her skirt, cursing that fact that she had nothing else to hold these starseeds.
"We need to run...this might be the only chance we get...and if we get close enough I can use my power to distract them all the more."

Slievenamon, Page of Neptune
For the umpteenth time the Neptune page slowed to standing away from Phact's group. She had did it several times before, but this time, this time... something struck her. People were rushing to the aid of a poor senshi going to be overcome by the effects of corruption, plenty wanted to be the one to save her before fate twisted her starseed to the side of Chaos, yet... Slievenamon wasn't one of them. She stared in awe; her morbid curiosity flickering the white glints of her eyes.
Slievenamon was interested. Highly interested. Dangerously interested.
Not because she wanted to turn to Chaos, but because she wanted to learn how it was done. She was fine under the banner of the White Moon, but the Negaverse, they... There was a lot to learn about them too.
She cursed the tugs of her heart in opposing direction. She cast her eyes to where plenty were trying to save Harmonia. Would she, one day, allow Chaos to swallow her up just so she could learn about them? She then cast her eyes in the path free to the portal. Would she not allow herself to be brainwashed just for her freedom and wonder? Her choice was made without a second thought, and with the others of Phact's group, she made a beeline for the portal.
But she regretted again. Another opportunity to learn was gone.
((Will actually catch up with replies tomorrow (hopefully), I just needed to type out this dumbo's reaction because I didn't go so earlier, ahaha.))
Valhalla looked up at Cyllene in desperation as she offered to teleport people out. His mind was racing. It was too dangerous for her. He couldn’t possibly ask her to do something that could risk her life.
Ganymede could be attacked again. Using her magic must have taken a toll on her. Babylon was fighting, too, among many others. And Oberon was facing off Laurelite. He could be killed. He could end up like Harmonia. Valhalla gritted his teeth. He was only a kid. And so was Harmonia.
“Please, save Harmonia,” Valhalla heard himself blurt out before he could say anything else. “Get her to Ganymede.” Babylon and Oberon jumped into the fight on their own, but Harmonia couldn’t have helped it. It might be possible to save her if Ganymede…
Valhalla winced when Gevaudan told him to attack. “I can’t…” he said weakly at the knight’s initial bark. And then when Gev shoved him with his bloodied hand, Valhalla stumbled. “My magic doesn’t work! My starseed’s cracked and I’m dying,” he blurted out, knowing there was no time to explain, but he needed him to understand.
He glanced to Cyllene again, knowing she must have heard him. Possibly even Benitoite, since he was close by as well. It wasn’t something he liked to advertize, but there was very little he could do other than hand-to-hand combat, and even that didn’t do much. He wanted to attack, of course! He wanted to try and save them, but he knew he would just get in the way again. He didn't want to risk their lives even more than they were already doing, themselves.
“I’m sorry…” Even Cosmos hadn’t been able to give him an answer of how to fix it. How things were, he would just continue to leak energy until he had no more and the starseed would just break apart.

Captain Sugarite - Disposable late to the party
You know, it was mildly satisfying for her to be able to order people around. The sticky net was less than stellar; it kept getting stuck in her clothing and hair and it was grooooossss but it had its uses. The city was super quiet for once, and she could do her daily quota in peace without interruption from the pesky White Mooners, or other agents getting there first. Sugarite didn't even have to use her new net! Though she did try it out on someone to find that... maybe it had very limited use. Having to all but rip someone's clothing off (or worse) to get the net back was a little... unnecessary, but you know she'd make it work. She had been rewarded for her survival being kidnapped, she would make the most of it!
She teleported into the Castle, about to check in with her superior and hand over her gathered energy.
To find the whole thing in chaos.
People screamed, Laurelite seemed to... smoke? Or at least fight off whatever was going on. Some little kid was trying to square off with her. Good luck with that. The barracks were on fire, and there were whispers that General Queen Apatite was dead. Dead. By the combined effort of the group with the feathered Princess and a well timed punch.
So many on both sides screamed in agony, though Sugarite couldn't imagine what sort of magic could do that. It only effected some of them, but it was a mixed bag on both. How pecular. A perfect time to help someone defeat one of the White Mooners, she reminded herself.
Off into the fray she dove, hoping to make someone proud.

Late to the party but someone can take their Ganymede induced desire to kill out on her!
Sailor Skoll, Senshi of the Pack
The senshi dodged his leg sweep, using the roundhouse kick to simply spin her around. He was a worthy opponent, and had they met in the kickboxing studio, she would have liked to formally spar with him. Out here, well, she mostly wanted to kill him.
It was a feeling that burned in her belly, setting her limbs on fire and smouldering her lungs. Skoll snarled, a loud and feral noise that rattled through her throat. Fists uncurled into claws and she bared all her teeth. Heat burned through her, hotter and hotter, setting her blood on fire. It grew larger, as though she was actually on fire. It threatened to take over her senses, to impede her, to cripple her.
Skoll stumbled forward onto Bloodstone, and made to pin him to the ground. One hand clawed at her fuku, trying to tear it from her chest, while the other clawed at his neck, trying to crush it.
If she was going to die, she was damn well taking someone with her.

Bifrost Knight of Chronos
Somewhere, about halfway to the portal in the mess of screaming and quivering people, a knight of Chronos sat curled under her shield, muffling her screams against the fabric of her tunic, as her insides were set on fire.
Sailors Cor Caroli and Porrima- with Elpis, but looking for projectiles
"You want me to what?" Cor Caroli said, his eyes widening as he watched Elpis speed off. Sometimes I think my magic works too well, he thought to himself, hoping the surge of willpower didn't give Elpis suicidal overconfidence. He stood there for a second, trying to figure out where exactly the other senshi had charged off to, till Porrima's voice distracted him.
"Don't just stand there," Porrima said. "Start running and looking for anything you can throw. Let's move! Quick, before she sees us!" With that, Porrima darted off in a different direction from her mentor, scrambling around and looking for anything she could throw. A good-sized rock, a misplaced shoe, anything would do. Surely there had to be a good few rocks in the Rift? It wasn't like the battle had resulted in them all being trampled to dust. If only she could find one... if she didn't think it would result in limb loss, she would pick up a small youma and throw it at the General-Queen. That'd be something, wouldn't it? At the very least bouncing a youma off someone's head would be a distraction.
"Wait, wait!" Cor Caroli called after her, but it was too late. Both Elpis and Porrima had zipped off to parts unknown. With a groan, he proceeded to do the same, hoping he wouldn't walk face-first into a giant youma or something before he found a decent projectile.

Orders received! Meanwhile Kitalpha continues to be a jerk...
Corrupt Sailor Kitalpha - Vs. Alsafi
Oh, that did it. No one called Kitalpha a whiny little b***h and got away unscathed. Quite a few girls at St. Mag's knew this lesson. Though she felt godawful still, the heat was receding, so she was able to squirm herself up slightly. With a guttural growl, she said, "Eat s**t, you freak," before tossing her magic out in front of her. "Looking Sharp!" The White Moon senshi had to be close enough to get hit by at least one dart; if she even got one hit in and got to see her magic's effects in the field, she would be delighted.
Quote:
Sailor Scout Attack: Looking Sharp!
Kitalpha makes a gesture like throwing a dart. A straight line of ethereal darts shoots out in front of her at a rate of roughly one per second. The darts can be dodged and do not have homing properties; Kitalpha must direct them herself. The darts also disappear if they do not hit a target after 5 feet. When the target is hit by a dart, they experience a feeling of being cut. The "cuts" will feel like shallow wounds and will be of varying lengths. The sensation of wounds stops at the end of the attack's duration; however, the player may choose to have actual cuts form and stay after the duration at their discretion. The cutting sensation will not occur inside the body. The attack can be used 3 times per battle and lasts 20 seconds per use.
Glitnir, Knight of Mars- Vs. Aurostibite
There was something wonderful yet incredibly unnerving about the sound metal made when it collided with a skull. Yes, Glitnir had scored a direct hit, but the little rush didn't last long; he felt a slice along his lower legs that he had failed to completely dodge. Hissing with pain, he grit his teeth and tried another swing, hoping to get another headshot. Maybe if he knocked the General out, he'd be free to help the others.

Centisima, Senshi of Centipedes - hey gurl, how you doing?
When Ganymede cast her attack, Centisima didn’t feel a thing. He wasn’t sure what it was supposed to do exactly but people all around them, both Order and Chaos, had apparently taken a solid hit and were on their knees, writhing in pain. It didn’t look pleasant at all. It occurred to him then that his was their moment. This was it. If he just grabbed Scholomance right now and made a break for it, they might slip past the crazy strong lady with the scythe. They could do it.
His mouth opened to make the suggestion. He had even started moving closer to the other man as if preparing to pick him up. It was all aborted as his attention was turned towards the Senshi on the ground. He had hardly even noticed her there. She’d just been another body, curled up in pain, just like the others strewn about the battlefield.
"Yeah," he replied after a moment, "yeah, I guess so. Good luck." Not that he was sure what he was going to do about the suffering senshi. He glanced around, looking for the pink lady from earlier, Palatine, (maybe more fancy tea?) and then he knelt down beside Cybele.
"s**t girl, stop screaming. Come on, look, I’m going to help you." Maybe, somehow. "I’m going to pick you up, so don’t hit me or anything. If I get a chance, I’ll try get you out of here."
Between them they had been able to deal with the Nega person (Banananite), although Oort hadn't been expecting the man to go and end up slipping in a banana peel of all things.
It didn't occur to him that the banana peel was the other's 'weapon' because a banana peel was even more stupid than the bird toy thing, but it seemed like now was going to be as good a time as other for them to make for the portal with the starseeds.
And then the screaming started and the cause was the woman with the scary strong aura who was doing something to a senshi.
Something that was really, really bad - it had to be - because Oberon had taken off running in the direction of the woman.
And then there was a blonde woman (Varuna) suddenly by them and she was using some really cool ice - no make that - snow magic and Oort wished that his own magic was even a teensiest bit as cool.
Perdita was telling them that they needed to all get to the portal and Oort knew that they did because of all the starseeds that needed to be gotten to safety.
The starseeds were important. Really important, but...
But it didn't seem right to just leave Oberon since he was part of their group too.
Ambrosia had taken a few steps towards where Oberon had gone, but then had turned and was starting to head in the direction of the portal and still Oort hesitated - and it was hesitation that was reflected in his reddish eyes.
Finally he looked at the blonde senshi who had produced the cool snow (Varuna) and pointed in the direction that Oberon had gone "Help him" the words were a little brusque, but were quickly followed by "Please help him - help them."
And then he turned to look for Tomlin before moving to head after Ambrosia and Perdita and those of his group that were making a break for the portal..
Or at least trying to.

"I'm trying" Was the best Kairatos could offer when Havasu struggled to help him off the ground, causing the rope wielding Pluto knight more pain in the process.
He'd feel guilty later about the inconvenience, but right now it was mostly about convincing his brain that, in spite of all signals, he was not actually burning, and that moving would not feed the flames.
Hell if he were more familiar with their domain, he'd have found it rather poetic that, when time was of the essence, he had two of Pluto's knights at hand to help pry him off the ground when every muscle twitch felt like a swirl and eddy of hot coals.
"Do me a favor..." He protested through gritted teeth as he struggled to his feet with Nirvana's help. "Don't die on my behalf."
He was fairly sure he was soaked with sweat and shaking, but he still held the code like it was a lifeline, and he had help, all of which was more than he'd been prepared for. It was nice to hear someone who didn't give him the faint impression that if he died they'd calmly pluck a few trophies from his corpse and march onward, un-phased.
With one lieutenant down, and powerful magic sweeping over their enemies, Tomlin took a moment to assess the damage. His team weren’t hurt, and they still had magic up their sleeves. What he could see further into the battlefield wasn’t as positive.
He couldn’t see, from his low position, what had happened to the senshi that the General-Queen grabbed, but he heard the scream, and saw Oberon’s reaction. A long shiver ran down the cat’s spine to the tail tip, leaving his short fur spiked up on all sides to increase his size. Lots of people had already died here. This was something different, and far, far worse.
It didn’t surprise him when Oberon took off towards the danger. The cat tensed, wanting to follow, to sink teeth and claws into the monster, anything to stop what was happening. But he’d already told Etamin he would stay with these kids. He couldn’t make himself a liar. Guard the senshi, that was his role. Protect them. But also trust them. Oberon had grown into a powerful senshi, and he would not be alone. The girl who screamed so desperately was not alone. He had to believe the senshi and knights could pull off this miracle. And that they could all get out after.
An older senshi joined them while he hesitated, and just snow-rolled the youma in their path. That would cut time.
“Thanks for the assist,” he told Varuna, but he didn’t attempt to send her away. He couldn’t force anyone to stay in this hellhole any longer than they had to. If the kids’ pleas didn’t sway her, she was welcome to stick with them. If she wanted to lead them, she’d have to keep up!
“We’ll break through,” he called encouragement, nudging against Oort’s foot again and nodding to Perdita as the group started to run. “We’ll give Oberon and the others a clear exit!”
The cat took to the snowy path, chills running through his paws, but the slipperiness didn’t phase him. It made him visible, perhaps, orange on white, but harder to reach. And it was a clear, straight path, mostly youma-free. There were still the golems somewhere up ahead. But their team were only small, and that was an advantage. They only needed a small gap to get past. The cat gathered his strength to ready his mauvian beam, for real this time. He had to make sure they got through that final barrier.

Dallol, Squire of Uranus
So far so good. Both Dallol and Corinth had their lucky stars to thank that they hadn't caught the attention of any Negaverse officer or Corrupted Senshi yet. They could probably take on a General together if they had to but anything that was stronger than that would be way too much for them to handle. Transferring her weapon to her other hand, she interlaced her fingers with his, giving a slight dip of her head to indicate that she was ready to make a dash for the portal whenever he was as she fended off another wave of youma.
That was about when Ganymede used her crystal power in an attempt to pull off what hopefully was going to be the game changer for all of them. The Negaverse went down first. Every single one of them. Next were some of their allies - an indication that whatever was happening lacked the ability to differentiate friend from foe.
Her blood turned cold however the moment she saw who it was that had landed up in Laurelite's hands. That senshi with the unmistakable blue tresses that were tipped in pink. It was the other woman whom Corinth once referred to as a kid. "... s**t. Some b***h's got Harmonia." She gave Corinth's hand a small squeeze to try to get his attention, her hand lifting his to gesture towards where all that was.

Sailor Cybele- being fussed over... or something
Everything was fire and pain and sounds of distant screams. Cybele knew how to work through pain- she'd been doing it this whole battle, since she'd fought the General, but this was so out of nowhere and so consuming that she could do nothing but slowly collapse until two steadier voices broke through the chaos around her.
One of them told her to stop screaming. She did, with a gasp, and gritted her teeth to keep herself from starting again. These little actions took most of her willpower. It would be clear that she wasn't really better, though. Her eyes were beginning to water, and her breathing was strained and heavy. She opened her eyes, brows raising, when he told her not to hurt him. "I won't... I can't," she managed. Being carried... usually, she'd complain, but it was probably the best thing that could happen right now.
She glanced around, looking for the other one, but he was already leaving. She looked back to the senshi, instead. "He's right... I can help," she said simply. Giving the details of her magic was a bit beyond her at this point.
For a few moments, Jet thought that the heat he felt was just his blood boiling as the squire and Aquamarine continued to debate what to do on his behalf. He was and adult and could make his own decisions! If he wanted to attack the squire, then he damn well was going to attack the squire!
"Shut up!" Jet wheezed again, almost stumbling over as he turned to glare at Aquamarine, but Aquamarine's expression had him stopping. The cat seemed to be the first to crumple to the heat, and then Aquamarine. Jet couldn't get out another breath as he dropped the knife and fell to his knees, sweat dripping from his face as he gasped for air. He knew this attack. It wasn't the squire as Aquamarine guessed. He'd felt this heat before.
But he couldn't get out another word. He felt sick, just as he had the last time. He couldn't stomach the pain of burning, much less on top of the pain he was already in from the broken bones he'd suffered. Thankfully, he hadn't had much to eat, so his churning stomach only resulted in dry heaving as tears sprung into his eyes.
By the time the sensation passed, he knew the squire was already gone, and Jet remained crumpled on the ground, unable to move as he continued to try and catch his breath.

Okay so... That wasn't exactly the answer that she expected from Valhalla. She was thinking more liiiiikeeeeee get the Chibis out! Orrrrr sweep in and save the Princess! But she supposed that stopping the Corruption that was happening made perfect sense. Cyllene sort of stared at the Knight for a moment as she tried to process the request, then she steeled herself, glanced over his shoulder at Laurelite and nodded.
"Okay," she said and took a deep breath.
"I'll do what I can," she added before offering him a smile. As she went to move past him, she stopped in her tracks at what he said about his magic and starseed. She had questions, but it would have to wait until some other time.
It was easy enough for Cyllene to get to Laurelite- there were other Agents nearby but it wasn't very likely that anyone would suspect that she would turn on one of her own, especially a General Queen. As she approached the other woman, she hesitated. This was it. This was the turning point and there was no going back after this. Her brows furrowed and she yelled "Hey!" at Laurelite to try and get her attention.
Deep breath.
"Let her go."
Deep breath.
Cyllene put her hands together, palms facing Laurelite, and extended her arms. "Cyllene Acid Spray!," she called with ease and familiarity. The moment the words left her lips, she sprayed acid right into the face of the General Queen. Hopefully, hopefully her plan worked and Laurelite would drop Harmonia so she could snatch her up, get her to Ganymede, and get the ******** outta here as quickly as humanly possible.

[Cyllene Acid Spray] Sailor Cyllene calls her attack with her arms extended and her palms are facing her opponent. When she yells "SPRAY!" and a blast of acidic liquid sprays at her opponent. The spray burns the skin (and causes some itching) and stings like a mother if gotten in the eyes. She has to be within a few feet (4 feet max) for this attack to be successful.
