Silverah With Themis and Bellatrix (where had Bellatrix come from? Everything was happening so quickly and Europa was kind of lost) absorbed in the battle, Europa took the opportunity to rush over to the wounded Regulus. "You were so brave, Sir Regulus!" she cried, flinging her arms gingerly around him. "I mean, I didn't see all of it, Zay wouldn't let me look because he's a meanieface but I assume you were brave, you looked like you were brave." She kissed him gingerly on his not-singed cheek, then checked his wounds over. Her eyes lingered on the arrow. "That looks like it hurts," she said, as pensively as she could possibly manage while fighting off a massive concussion. "Maybe we shouldn't mess with it." The fighting had to stop sometime and then they'd be able to regroup and go to the hospital, right? The fighting always stopped sometime. She thought, dimly, that maybe she ought to go to the hospital - she didn't feel right. She couldn't put her finger on why not, though. "THEMIS. Not Zay." Regulus pointed out, though he was as pale as a ghost, and flinched as she put her arms around him. "It does hurt." he agreed. "It hurts a ******** lot...." This was an understatement, his head was spinning from it, and he was barely able to think straight, relying on adrenaline to have any idea of the field at all. "Where did he go?" He meant Themis, who he was in no position to help. The General Queen would have finished or corrupted him with barely an effort. "We gotta get out of the way..." he added, feeling exhausted and in pain that seemed to have moved into every nerve ending and signed an extended lease. "He said you hit your head..."

Oh, god damnit.
This was the last thing he needed.
"Get lost." He all but hissed, his right hand rising to block the tonfa as he was headed toward him. The lieutnant gave him an opening, and he would be stupid not to use it.
"Themis Noise Storm !"

The splits in the earth around Chaonis were large, and he was hard pressed to not fall or get trapped in one himself. He didn't have much time to dwell on that, though, or feel any pride in the earthquake this time, before he saw Labyrinthite lunging at him.
"Bring it on, Pinky!"
He was jazzed, even though his attack was now ended and he didn't have that boost he got from it. He'd try and call it again if he had to, though he had never tried it twice in one battle before. He wasn't sure it would work, but he'd be damned if he let Flamingo Boy beat him.
When the nega tackled him he fell backwards, though both of them got a surprise when the earth gave way under them, creating a bit of a sink hole around them.

When two others—one of them suspiciously reminded her of the talking leopard from before—joined in, Sinon was silently relieved to find that she wasn’t the only one thinking the same thing. While Laurelite easily snipped away the white threads Sinon hurriedly ran over to Hypnos’ side, Themis already there. Her lips pulled into a worried frown as she tried to help Hypnos back onto her feet.
“Are you okay? Does it still hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?” She asked quietly, one eye on Hypnos while the other warily focused on Laurelite.
A flash of black appeared in front of her and she instantly took a surprised step back. By the time Sinon recognized the person as a Negaverse captain Themis was already calling out his attack. Her eyes widened and she hastily tugged Hypnos away from it.

Like many of her fellow lieutenants, something in Zircon had been stirred by the display deep in the hollows of the Negaverse, the dark energy of her corruption welling up inside her and ready to fight. Zircon knew that she was nothing close to the powerhouses that stood at the front lines and that even among lieutenants she was something of a lightweight, but standing amongst her peers as she appeared in the lands of Elysion, she knew that something was different this time, something more pressing and urgent that drove her to dig deep into her reserves and stand her ground. Never mind that the senshi before her were all wielders of strange and (remembering darkly) painful magics, never mind that her airplanes would do her no good. When she received the signal, she leapt forward in time with her team, behind her captain, and with an angry cry she lunged for the nearest senshi.
What happened next Zircon couldn't quite recall, but from the side she was hit with something and before she could even realize she'd been hurt she crumpled to the ground, her vision going red and hazy...
...And then she snapped to attention somewhere on the edge of the chaos, shaking the drowsy feeling from the numbness of her skull as she clambered to her feet. The right side of her leather jacket was blackened where she'd taken the hit and she could feel blood trickling down from her hairline, but at the moment her primary concern was scanning the crowd, looking for an appropriate place to jump in. Now, more than ever, she had to prove herself worthy of having the title of a Negaverse lieutenant, and her desperation was making her reckless. She locked eyes on a red-headed senshi helping up what appeared to be a child (what sort of army employed children) and decided that she'd found her target.
"I don't think so!" snarled the wounded lieutenant, jumping for Sinon's waist with intent to tackle her to the ground. If nothing else, it would drag attention away from her General-Queen and give her room to strike. And it seemed the moment she made contact that everything around her became a million times louder, screaming in her ears. She clenched her teeth, her eyes strained shut by the rattling her brain was receiving, but she had already grabbed on to something and for the life of her she wasn't about to let go, not in front of Laurelite.

Hey-- Perhaps this attack wasn't so bad! IT WAS WORKING WHOOHOOOOO ---- His excitement was cut off when Alkaid charged towards him, the mess and flurry of musical notes obstructed the running corrupted senshi from his view.
He needed a talk with whoever had made this attack. What good was it if it blocked your vision?
He found himself abruptly knocked off his feet from the corrupted. But this time, he grasped the Alkaid's arm, flipping her over his shoulder to knock her towards the ground. "Top that!" He yelled out, grimacing at the pain that branched up his arm. It was a poor attempt, with his wrist injured, his grip on Alkaid was far too loose for his own preferences.
"Haven't you heard being vulgar isn't exactly ladylike?" Aeria glared back, struggling to seat herself up in some sort of proper sitting position. It was just as frustrating, both injuries inflicted on both girls prevented them from attacking each other .. at least, for the moment.
"What do you means mines came out of a bottle--mmph." The hat landed gently towards Aeria's face, dropping to her open hands. She lifted an arm to rearrange the hat back onto her head, concluding the only fighting done between Petalite and Aeria now would be verbal. (Thank god, they were on the side of the battlefield.)
"How can you carry off a blue hairstyle if you dont even have blue hair now?" Aeria emphasized-- Perhaps Petalite should remember this was their first acquaintance. "You're clashing with orange and brown!" Aeria pointed out, her fingers running through her own hair to comb it.
"Look at my outfit. Then look at yours. Can you not admit, it's a crime, to wear that shade of brown with orange? At least white goes with everything and anything-- including my blue hair."

As Denebola surveyed the area around them she watched, in horror, as the general-queen picked up the chibi senshi by the neck with every intention of ending her life. An inaudible gasp escaped her lips as she started forward forgetting about her partner for a minute as the instinct to go and rescue the little girl started to take over. As Themis and the leopard successfully distracted the general-queen her initial panic subsided and she turned a head back to the senshi of lanterns.
"They look like they could use a hand," she told him glancing back and forth between the battle, whom another negaverser was joining, and the boy by her side. "Just call for me and I'll come running," she assured him before she turned on her heel and went racing towards her allies with every intent of helping them.
"Flight of the dragonflies!" She cried as her magic coursed through her increasing her speed as she headed for Raite just as Themis called his attack planning on hitting him after the other senshi's attack took effect.

Sailor Chibi Hypnos was dropped and in an instant her fading world stopped fading as she hit the ground with a moan. She didn't know what had happened. Who was that woman? Her head was dizzy and her hand just barely grasped the corner of the plush rabbit's ear. She was gasping for air, her face close to the ground and tears evident in her eyes from the lack of air she had forced upon her. Her throat hurt and as the child managed to push herself off the ground, she sat with her hands grasping her throat gently.
She tried to speak to Sailor Themis who had offered his hand to her but no words came out. There was an empty silence with a small squeak of a tone. It hurt. It hurt so much. She tried to breath in and out, slowly until finally she found herself catching a bit of a breath. She used her white plush bunny to wipe her eyes and after she had pulled the rabbit away and held her hand out to Sailor Themis, she felt something jump over her and her icy blue eyes widened when she seen wooden tonfas headed for the noise senshi. She tried to call out, but only a squeak managed to make it out of her throat.
Luckily, the senshi had noticed but now the small peace she had made was dissolving right before her. The leopard, the leopard she had tried to save was right back in the position it was in before. She wanted to call out to him. She wanted to call out to them all. Whatever did the small senshi get herself into? She didn't even know why they were all fighting... but wasn't that how war worked? It was rare people truly knew what they were fighting for. Hypnos was so weak, she couldn't even stop people from fighting. Her dried eyes began to water again, and small tears began to fall down upon the land of Elysion. Everyone was fighting and getting hurt and just when she thought someone was listening to her it only continued on.
She heard a familiar voice and her icy eyes looked up and seen Sailor Sinon. She wanted to reply, but the child just shook her head as she felt the senshi of lies try and tug her away. No, there was another person! She tried to warn the senshi of lies. No, no. Why? Everyone was going to get hurt! They weren't here before! This was... this was all her fault!
"L..." she made out. She could do it. She stressed her throat and managed to call out. "Look out!"
"Stop it!"
There was so much going on, the small senshi tried to stand up the best she could. She was so stubborn and as she stood her legs wobbled, and her arms clung to her white bunny plush.

Yes, Foramen was secretly disappointed in Elysium for not having handy things like trash cans to drop on peoples' heads. That's why alleys and backstreets were so handy - always bins or trash to drop on an opponent.
Still, he couldn't help but smirk at Sassolite as she approached. "You really think I need bins to knock you about?" he taunted. "I'm not the senshi of trash, you know."
And thankfully, with a battle of this size, someone was always causing enough chaos to give him some makeshift weapons. As a mini earthquake raged behind him (if Foramen knew Chaonis' name, he would thank the guy), Foramen glanced over his shoulder and snagged himself a new weapon.
"Foramen Rift, Slice!"
A chunk of compacted earth torn up by Chaonis' attack disappeared and, as Foramen turned back to Sassolite, appeared several feet above her head.
"See!" Foramen grinned gleefully as the roughly trash-can-sized earth fell.

Raite dropped to one knee, his head lowering due to the sudden impact of painful noise that reverberated in his head and blocked out all coherent thinking. "..." The senshi had gotten stronger then when he had seen him last.
His wooden tonfas fell to the dirt beneath him, the lieutenant staggering beneath the attack. His black locks fell over his face, but his gray pupils stared mutinously from beneath.
Despite the ringing pain in his head, noise as he recognized from the battle, he stood up slowly. His gloved hands picked up the tonfa again, but his movements seemed far more strained, still unsteady on his feet.
And he was hit by another senshi, Denebola.

How annoying. Laurelite's eyes narrowed with distaste at the sudden ramping-up of the volume of all the noise around her, her eyes rolling to the side to take a look at the senshi who was responsible for it: Sailor Themis. While still fending off Leopard's Eye with one arm, she focused the other's attention on the senshi, tossing one of her kites in his direction.
It looked like a kite. It sailed gracefully through the air like a kite, and one could make out a tiny line of string connecting it to a spool in Laurelite's hand.
Unfortunately, that's where its similarities with a kite ended and its kinship with kitchen knives began: the metal edges of the weapon just so happened to be razor-sharp.

Europa nodded and put a hand to her forehead to stable herself. "Yeah. I flew," she said. "And landed on. Um. A menshi in a brown skirt?" She hadn't caught his name. "And then the little captain tried to attack us but Atlas stopped him and I was with Polaris for a while--"
She pointed vaguely in the direction where she'd left Polaris.
"My head hurts, Regulus," she whimpered, sinking into a crouch beside him. "I wanna go home."
This was going to be over soon, right? The deus ex machina would appear and they'd all go back to their normal lives for a few weeks, right? She rested her head in her hands. She could feel her brain throbbing and every second she tried to keep her eyes open it got harder to stay focused. "We all need to go to the hospital."

Far too focused on Hypnos’ safety to hear Zircon’s desperate cry (the buzzing voices in the background didn’t help either) Sinon stumbled forward when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. Gritting her teeth, she dug her boots into the ground to keep her balance, rather difficult with her lanky, prone-to-falling build. Reluctantly, Sinon released Hypnos’ hand, ignoring the child’s far-too-late warning. “Be safe, okay?” she whispered.
Her gloved hands held onto the lieutenant’s arms and attempted to pry them away from her body. “Woman, get the eff off of me!” growled the redhead as she continued to tug at Zircon’s grip. Exasperated, she temporarily stopped and raised her head to stare at the sky when she noticed the kite flying towards Themis. Sinon attempted to step forward, flailing her arms to warn Themis. “S-Sinon White Lies!” The damn weapon was flying so fast. She had no idea if her attack would make it or if it do any good.

The lieutenant snorted at the name as his body connected with the senshi's. "Got a problem with pink?" He asked as they fell into the earth. He didn't waste time assessing the situation around them. He didn't seem to care that they were sinking into the ground. He was only focused on punching Chaonis's lights out. As they fell he pulled an arm back to punch.
When they landed on the ground his knees connected with the earth painfully but with the exception of a twitch in his expression Labyrinthite did his best to not show the pain that shuddered through his body. Instead he put his focus and concentration into a series of punches aimed every which way.
--
Denebola found herself grinning as she connected with Raite forcefully, it was the beauty of her magic, allowing her physical attacks to hit twice as hard and twice as fast. However she recoiled backwards, head spinning as she regained her bearings. Her guard never dropped though and she brought her leg up in a roundhouse kick planning to follow through.
If her attack left him disoriented then it was all the better that she followed up with another attack quickly. She had spent too much time out of the fight. She was determined to get right in and not back down.
She would not be defeated by another negaverse agent again.

For all his upgrading, Themis was still a sitting duck - though he figured he had at least enough wriggle room to get back on his feet, arm still standing upward. The only thing that kept him up and fighting was the adrenaline coursing though his veins, dulling out the pain in his arm as sound was amplified through his whole body, dulled out the pain in his chest that flared every time he breathed.
He was a sitting duck, but Denebola wasn't. Perfect !
The red-headed Sinon seemed to have her own problem, through Zircon also seemed to have a hard time with his attack, which hopefully would help a little. One of them needed to get Hypnos out.
Before he could ask Denebola exactly that, the kite was going straight for him. Sinon's well-meant threads at least helped a little bit, through, giving him just enough time to flip so that it sliced though his left arm rather than right into his chest, creating a fresh red stain on his white coat to match the dried out ones at his right arm, front, and side.
That was too much moving, through, so the noise storm would only continue for 5 more seconds before fading to nothing, leaving Raite and Zircon's ears ringing. But, hey, this was handy and an improvement from instant end.
