Basic Corrupt Cryolite
HP: STILL 4!!
Doing: Begging for an Exit with a silver tongue~
"Of course I can beg better than this," the for a price went unspoken, was certainly better a thing shown, bantered and bartered over hot drinks and ice for the myriad of bruises he could feel growing beneath hidden swaths of gore n cloth. "I work in 'Law', Fulgurite, begging is my mother tongue at this point. I can do it in Latin, in written prose. Though in person is typically best ---" with demonstrations, certainly something he wanted to add over the sound of the world not ending. Maybe even something he would add in great detail and with visual aids while laughing over gossip and spilling tea as far away from the source princess dragged madness and the slowly vanishing auras of people he both did and did not know.
Cryolite wanted to go anywhere that wasn't their current location. Had the nerve to snort a softer laugh as he snagged the front of Fulgurites fuku and pulled him close enough to pass a whisper over the dying din and shaking façade of the place.
"Now please do get us the ******** out of here. If this place comes down on their heads...Albite'll survive it at least. Thickassed skull full of empty that he is."
General Prehnite
HP: 54
Doing: Getting gone and going home! Squad out!
Xyla got hefted quasi-gracefully over a shoulder, Prehnite tried not to grimace for the realization that she was far larger than a scarf --- and that he needed to attend a gym more than once every few weeks -- As Hatsya finally made it close enough to be grabbed up gently round the waist, and Hylonome her spare hand. "You all did wonderfully, lets go." hissed quick, his teeth grit for being tricked in to solving a problem that seemed to truly be that of the 'Senshi's beyond their world, Reed almost had the energy to feel used --- except for how he also felt somewhat vindicated. It was a proper revenge for every bit of greenery and foliage he so dearly loved, even at a cost.
He dragged his team through subspace home.
Albite Eternal Corrupt Senshi
HP: 58
Doing: （°々°）All that effort and she just leaves!! RUDE!
"C'mon Faustite, you n I both know the only person Jet lets walk into his Pike is Aqua --- or is it a Longsword? M'not so good with knowing weapons, unless we're talking 'of mass destruction', which..." the tease was languid, Faustite was the only weapon of mass destruction he could think of, the way his shadow was cast into near nothingness for how hot he burned.
Even if the world was a raging inferno and he walls were coming down, Albite was having a damned good time. Reached out for Helio's form as steps crumbled n building shook, just to snag him an arms-length closer and out of the decaying mass of enemy beyond them.
It was so ******** crazy watching that thing die...n Albite cast his eyes n voice towards the searing glow of aura ramped to ten -- shouted -- only to realize in the aftermath he was far too late.
"HEY-PRINCESSA!! ******** did not just ditch us here without letting us celebrate the win together!" what happened to comradery, to fighting the long dark night n celebrating wild into the daylight afterwards!! "Rude...s'fine though, m'feeling less like tea n more like firewater." huffed petulantly as he chanced edging closer to his flame-seared love. A brief scan showed they'd made out like bandits, alive, if not unharmed.
Ablite supposed he'd just have to ask the nearest princess for tea the next time the world crept up to cusp it's own end at the hands of something 'worse' than they of the Negaverse were perceived to be.

Corrupt Sailor Hylonome of EdelweissHP: 34/50 HP It seemed as if everything was finally over. The main source controlling the creatures that had continued to attack was destroyed and had crumpled into dust. Hylonome paled at the sight of a familiar face amongst the crowd that was now revealed to everyone present with the lack of ink-like creatures to destroy and she found herself shrinking away. What was with this deep-seated fear of what she didn't know.
Even as Prehnite's hand clasped hers did Hylonome duck her head against the flash of bright white light that once subsided showed a surprising lack of people still milling about. It now seemed as if everyone who had an aura of order had simply disappeared, including the winged princess. That was an interesting trick but she had other concerns to worry about as a familiar feeling of being moved through space washed over her. In the deepest recesses of her mind - something still bothered her but she would keep it to herself for the time being.

Heliodor, Corrupt Super Senshi of RyutanHP:23/75
Listening to Faustite and Albite’s love banter throughout the fight was both amusing and endearing. Helio couldn’t help the smile on his face as he battled alongside them. It gav ehim something else to focus on beyond the tired ache that was spreading through his body.
When the ugly mass began to dry up and fall apart, Helio finally let his body sag a bit in relief. Piece by piece the big ugly began to fall apart, and as pieces rained down around them he felt Albite tug him out of possible harms way as large chunks fell near. He flashed the man a smile. “Thanks for that.” He dared a glance over at their fiery General.
Then the princess and white moon disappeared leaving a very empty field. “Can’t say I am surprised.” He mumbled under Albite’s loud exclamation. “Could have been worse, to be honest. At least they all left.” Cause unlike their General who was likely being fueled by spit and rage, Helio didn’t have much left to give if those of Order had decided to turn on them next.
“You two alright?” He asked both of his companions, eyes glazing over the two of them for anything more serious than the cuts, scrapes and future bruises he himself was going to be sporting after all of this.

ATTN NEGAS: Faustite is offering a way out!
* DMC may ask nicely for a lift! General FaustiteHP: 74/100 Damage to Blights: N/A Finally the source of all the blight melted into screaming slag, and the rest of its cohorts died a similarly satisfying death. It left the current focus of his ire, however — the winged princess that spoke to the crowd thereafter. Bold she was to address any sort of peace between the White Moon and the Negaverse, or the Dark Mirror, for that matter.
"Keep the peace?" Faustite shouted back as he turned to find her. "Then give me a ******** hug!" He opened arms wide, fire aglow with his undying rage. But she was already gone, and the rest of the White Moon with her.
"b***h!" He sneered emphatically, spitting with the word.
Then he snorted, shook his head at the White Moon's indecency to leave so abruptly. There were yet officers and Negaverse senshi here, and the Dark Mirror, if he chose to acknowledge them. But, for now? ******** that. He cared more about the various states of the officers left behind.
It might have been all his spite and ire that kept his energy levels hale enough to offer any sort of assistance to the remainder. His voice rasped from the strain of yelling.
"Fine," he huffed at Heliodor's ask. He wasn't, he had all the energy and impetus that he needed to melt a Princess's face, but the oversized chicken didn't stick around long enough for him to try it.
"Agents and senshi, yell if you need a ride. Make two groups — out and infirmary. Albite, quit flapping your jaw and play ******** taxi."

ATTN NEGAS: Faustite offered a Himbus Home!
*DMC may ask nicely for a high five! Cause he doesn't know where hell they live... Albite Eternal Corrupt Senshi
HP: 58
Magic Atks Left: 5
Doing: ( ͡°⊖ ͡°)
"You're welcome Helio -- I'll live, now whether or not we'll survive our boy on fire is a whole nother," wait did he hear correctly, was there still dried goo in his ears? Monster bits between his brains? Was Faustite offering him up like a godamned taxi!!
Albite gawped, threw his hands up, nigh forgetting how heavily Helio was leaning on him, n scanned the remnants of the battlefield.
Ooooh --- that princess was soooo getting letters! LETTERS! Freaking, ordinances n yellow tape for throwing monster parties n not at least leaving them change enough to uber everyone else home!!
"Faustite, hun, I am a ******** monster truck, a big-a**-bus, a train with a spray painted cow catcher n penchant for hitting things on the track. C'mon, taxi -- of all the vehicles to volunteer me to be!!" he couldn't even be mad about it, could only decide that he would indeed make his boys next book purchase 'monstertruck maddness' with fullcolor spread of pics, and then have a long conversation later about how he wasn't anybodys free ride.
"You're sooo lucky that I --" loved him, loved him like crazy, had to be crazy! Reached back for Helio n gave him a gentle nudge between, whichever choice he'd need done. "ALLABOARD! Anyone whose going anywhere -- I can probably do infirmary real easy, if our General afire does 'out'. I've got a stamp card to get punched there anyhow. Tenth visit n I get a free mug with my face on it."
ANYONE IN NEED APPARENTLY ALL OF THE NEGAVERSE NOW!

Cadet NerynHP: ow It was the fact that the main source of the blight had a face that unsettled Neryn to the point of missing every single blight beast that came up to attack them. They were incredibly thankful Yddagen kept at least some of them down, but at some point they'd been over run. Neryn wasn't sure when, but their boltcaster jammed and the only thing it was useful for was smacking monsters.
"I owe you for this Yddagen! Thanks for having my back!" they said, out of breath but sticking behind the other Cadet. Their attention was momentarily caught by a senshi going Royal in their presence. Oh. That was pretty. Neryn didn't know this senshi - only that she'd sent out the S.O.S - but felt compelled to congratulate her nontheless. They would have, had the big blight monster not taken offense to that.
(No amount of crystal power would fix the boltcaster though, so Neryn kept behind Yddagen.)
The monster died with a shriek and a crumble of soot. Tension hung in the air briefly before Ida and the rest of Order teleported out, leaving only Chaos and the Vanguard behind.
"Well. That was. Something..." said Neryn, panting and looking at Yddagen. They were worse for wear - teal hair had fallen from it's braids and bun, and part of their skirt seemed singed somehow. The smoking boltcaster didn't exactly help, either.

DMS Murikabushi of HungerHP: 28 + 25 from Kerberos’s heals - 18 = 35 / 50Everything seemed to happen so quickly once Ida popped those wings. Those magnificent, angelic wings.…
As the havoc in the disused subway station all died down, Reiki figured that, honestly, feeling so shocked and staggered was all on him. Not anyone else. Just him, like……pretty much all of the awful things that he’d dealt with in the past……while. Couldn’t very well get your starseed extracted by a robot if you didn’t, in the first place, go talking to any strange robots about the world in space of which you were allegedly the senshi.
Likewise, you couldn’t get whacked around and slashed at by Blight monsters if you didn’t allow yourself to get distracted by the grace, the majesty, the overwhelming feeling of *THIS* is what a magical girl is supposed to be!—never mind those absolutely gorgeous wings—that he had largely just accepted as something he was going to feel in some capacity whenever he was around Ida, and Kerberos, and Encke. No matter how dazed and awed Reiki felt, watching Ida pull that magic bow from out of nowhere and feeling the energy restoration wash over him, he should’ve kept himself present enough in the moment to not let the Blights just have all the free shots at him they wanted.
He was trying to steady himself, trying to stop losing his head, trying to rally and fight once more like Ida had given everyone the strength to do………and then, as suddenly as Kerberos swooping in on him the night when they’d first met, it was all over.
All of a sudden, everyone was gone—or at least, everyone who Reiki recognized as his people. Kerberos had been right there beside him, keeping the ring of healing magic around their motley crew alive; Reiki has been ready to carry him out of the station, like he’d said that he might need. Fang had been right here too, back with people who cared about keeping him safe even if he didn’t seem to care about his own safety very much. Ida had been close-at-hand as well, wrapped up in her new, lovely sari-looking outfit and those ******** wings. Encke hadn’t been beside them really, but Reiki had spotted him and would’ve welcomed the chance to chat again.
Except Encke was gone, now.
All of them were.
They must’ve gone off somewhere else? Ida was some kind of Princess now, whatever that actually meant in practice since it apparently didn’t mean bending the knee, and Reiki guessed that teleporting her allies away from a cesspit of Chaos and unaligned aliens fell under the heading of what a magical girl princess of the White Moon could do with her powers.
So nice for them, being able to get away from all this like that.
And Reiki was left standing in a disused subway station, with some Negaverse Lieutenant (he didn’t recognize her), some alien called Vaylin (who seemed to have the same kind of uniform as Lysvi, but was still unknown to Reiki outside of this), some teenager from the Dark Mirror Court (who Reiki had a duty to look out for because Quetzalcoatl shouldn’t have ******** been here; putting younger people like this in the way of such harm still did not sit right with him, not at all)………and a comical look on his face, because his insides had been kicked out.
It’s not about me, he told himself as he glanced over the crowd around him, looking for anyone he recognized. It’s not about me. It’s not about me. It isn’t……
It wasn’t about him. None of this was about the heaviness in Reiki’s limbs, or the thick black fog descending on his mind, or how much he wanted to rip off his outfit, over and over and over, as many times as it took, until he grew a new one that actually felt like his. Prioritizing himself like this was selfish and individualistic in the extreme—never mind doing it when he hadn’t contributed hardly anything.
Nothing about this went any differently because I was here. It isn’t about me. There are probably entire universes of stories that I don’t know and never will. It isn’t about me. Everything that happened, it isn’t. about. ME. It’s about those stories. It’s about Ida, who deserves an honor like this……
Which made it even more ******** stupid that Reiki couldn’t get himself to move, to leave. Even spotting a face he recognized—scowling and radiating power, with a literal furnace burning in the middle of his chest—didn’t make Reiki get a move on. Captain Phoenix Force.…… <********>, he needed to get away from Captain Phoenix Force before they had another such Encounter……which he could’ve done, if Ida had brought him to wherever she’d taken the others……?
But she hadn’t.
Which was okay.…… Obviously.…… It had to be okay.
She must’ve had her reasons.… Despite being perfectly visible and around people who would judge him, Reiki hugged himself—which did absolutely nothing to help. It—it’s probably for the best that she didn’t take me with them.… She only took people on Order’s side. Having me there—it might’ve just caused problems.… After all that mess, the last thing the Princess needs is to have another fight break out in what she probably intended to be a safe space for people to recover.… She was right not to take me, and even if she weren’t, it isn’t personal; she isn’t like that to leave someone over something petty and personal.… So it has to be okay, because it must have just been a safety thing.… The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few—or the one.…
Starting to tremble, Reiki noticed the floor-to-ceiling mural of mirrors, not that far from him. If only he could’ve moved, he would’ve been out of here. He could’ve just gone back to his and Haruhi’s apartment, and told Soya about what had happened if she was around, then take a shower and tell himself to stop. being. stupid.
Over and over again.
As many times as it took.
Until he knocked it off and stopped this asinine bullshit of feeling wounded when no one had hurt him, and alone while surrounded by all these people (at least one of whom, he had a reason to protect, unless she was smart about just getting herself out), and miserable that everyone he thought of as a friend had gone when he knew good and goddamn well that he wasn’t supposed to be friends with them, not even work friends. He was supposed to be a Dark Mirror Senshi, a servant of Chaos, and get along with the Negaverse more than anyone from the White Moon.
All in all, Reiki had nothing to be upset about and no right to feel the way he did, and he should have just gotten a move on.
Instead, he dropped to his knees, down in the muck where something like him—where a Chaos Rat like him—belonged.… Goddammit, Kiya. If you’re going to get like this over ******** nothing, can’t you hold it together long enough to have a meltdown in your room? Keep that s**t out of anybody else’s sight.Strickenized If you want to snatch a boy, Faustite, by all means!

Corrupt Super Sailor Fulgurite, Senshi of SpringsHP: 41/75 He considered it for a moment, seemingly legitimately, as he glanced toward where the strangely familiar now-princess and the blight had been. His eyes then rolled back toward Cryolite. "Could you beg in Latin in person? I've always wanted to know what the ******** that sounds like--" Latin was dead. How in the hell did anyone accurately speak a long-dead language? He gave an amused quirk of the brow as he was pulled closer. He considered the merits of continuing the game; it had been a long time since he had any sort of friendly banter in the Negaverse. Especially not after the loss of Sylvite's team-- But then Faustite and Albite started gathering, and-- "No problem. I have no interest in being on Albite's taxi service." And they were gone. Shiningamisgirl fin for Fulgurite and Cryolite!

General FaustiteHP: 74/100 Doing: Whatever he wants For as much as Albite bitched and moaned about his new designation, the boy complied; better to reward that behavior once they were home, triaged, and safe. His index finger swirled circles parallel to the sky as he waited for any takers to regroup.
There were few; most went their separate ways with those they knew, and Faustite thought it better that way. Less taxing on his and his husband's energy, less expectation of some kind of connection or subsequent service. If it was just his team heading back with him, then his job became much more straightforward.
However —
Flame eyes settled on a grounded figure not far from them. Noticeable by aura as well as by look, this one wasn't part of the Negaverse, and looked far too distracted by his own thoughts to pay any attention to the goings-on around him. While Albite finished rounding up the ones that needed to be checked over, Faustite stalked toward the slumped figure.
He approached from behind, then took up Murikabushi's arm by the metal bracer. "Follow," he instructed, not that he brooked any argument with the boy's bracer held captive in his claws. He made for Heliodor, who he had no intention of allowing to teleport himself home. He likewise had no intention of explaining the Dark Mirror Senshi that he picked up off the floor; he had long ago determined that it wasn't Heliodor's business, though the clever corrupt may have sussee that this was the Mirror Senshi who had caused Faustite so much trouble in the months prior.
Faustite would allow him no time to ask. It would be a simple transaction — the grasp of a hand, and then they were out.amorremanet appreciate allowing Muri to be stolen heart shiningamisgirl whining himbo will be rewarded later~ 25/75 Doing: Leaving Wow, that was… Niter didn't know how to feel about any of that. Truly, Niter didn't want to feel.
What he wanted was a nap, and a Red Bull, and another nap, some game time, and a third nap. The amount of effort he exerted over that short period of time was normally that of a few months, and Niter felt the exertion weigh heavily in his exhausted body, now that the commotion had died down. He couldn't pretend to understand what just happened, or why, or how that Eternal Senshi turned into a Princess, or where they went so suddenly. His head hurt from thinking about the blights themselves; he didn't need to involve White Moon shenanigans in his consternation.
He didn't feel so great, either. Pains from numerous bruises and cuts resurfaced, and Niter felt the toll of expending a good deal of his magic on the creatures. He didn't trust himself to get home in one piece, especially if more White Moon were on the prowl en route.
So, to his utter dismay, the only solution he had was to meet up with the proffered Negaverse Eternal that was complaining something fierce about taxis to someone who was literally on fire. Niter decided he wanted no part of that conversation, and lined up dutifully next to the man's butt wings while expressly avoiding eye contact.

Corrupt Super VersaillesAs tempting as the General "ever-flammable"'s offer was, Versailles would not be taking it. Of course he felt awful and he was sure that the infirmary would be able to help, but he also felt that there would be more chaos flowing into him. More that would convince him to stay and just become an Eternal in the Negaverse and forever drain and drain and drain until there was nothing left. And then what? Would there be anything after that? No. It was the short answer, but he doubted anyone could convince him that there was something worth all of it after all the Order had been taken down. And the Dark Mirror. And the Vanguard. And whoever else they had to run into since clearly they weren't the only lifeforms out there in the universe that they knew of at the moment. Nothing would change if he went back. It would be the same. No larger goal to move towards, nothing that would help him personally, always having to be under the thumb of someone else, no thank you. He would teleport back close to his house and make his way back home that way to take a nice long think on what he was going to do next.

DMC Sailor Quetzálcoatl, Senshi of CataclysmsLeaving Quetzálcoatl blinked in surprise as too many things began happening all at once for her to process it. First some Eternal lady got a major glowup, she all of sudden grew wings just like Remarque although hers were white and she felt as powerful as the Prince did. Then Quetz felt a bit of her major return to her before the monster was quickly killed by the rest of the fighters. Then a bunch of the senshi and knights in white vanished. It was too much but she eventually shook it off.
She was about to turn to Murikabushi to ask him if her understood what happened but then she saw him being dragged away by some monstrous fire demon thing that felt sort of like a General, he sent a shiver down her spine. "Oh no I gotta get out of here!" She knew she couldn't save him she could feel how strong the demon guy was and she also noted how many of his allies were still around. She wanted to try to rush in and help but she had to be smart about this. She spied the mirror out of the corner of her eye. She dove for it passing through its surface. She had to find Remarque and tell him about this, he could fix she was sure. She just hope her fellow court member would be ok until then. Cadet VaylinLeaving Vaylin was relived when the monster finally died however then all of the order fighter vanished. She had been left behind unfortunately. She was no surrounded by chaos fighters. She doubt any of them knew that she did not stand with the rest of the Vanguard as an ally of theirs but she didn't want to test that theory.
Summoning up a jar from subspace she collected the soot like remains of the monster for later analysis and stored it in subspace before she quickly took off into the dark tunnels without as word melting into the shadows.
She pulled out the human phone she had acquired and used it to navigate her way back to her apartment.
