Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Order]

Pasiphae half-jumped as the chandelier fell, but she was more interested in trying to see if the others were coming while still holding onto Kallichore. She shook her head at Tsui's question, "N-n-no. I don't know... I don't know anyone who can heal. But maybe there's someone? Or... or someone with medical training?"

A pair of pale feline ears perked up at the base of the girl's hat as she heard a very familiar voice calling out. "Hmmm... it seems like we are needed!" Tossing a casual glance to the knight who still seemed somewhat in la-la-land, she offered him a smile.

"Well... we greatly appreciate your help. Maybe we will run into you again... oh... and you might want to start taking heavier allergy medicine!" She playfully winked after her miniature confession. ********* had definitely noticed the Page's ailments.

"...I will keep that in mind..." he stated in a distant, yet seemingly thoughtful manner.

The guardian grabbed onto Irene's hand, and with much ease began to drag the still recuperating senshi to her feet and towards the call of Sailor Iris.

With Hygiea grudgingly in tow, Iris pressed her back against the wall again, looking over the chaotic scene. Senshi were dying, and other senshi were getting pretty brutally injured. She had been lucky thus far and only been mummified (as bizarre as that sounded). She managed to catch a glimpse of Polaris fighting with some princess of a darker aura. There was also another shorter man with a huge dark aura as well, who apparently had shoved his hand through the chest of some unfortunate senshi who was now screaming bloody murder.

"...this is f*ckin' insane..." she cursed under her breath as she managed to notice Eunomia trudging along with Victoria dragging along behind her. Another familiar head of teal hair approached as well, Egeria seeming pretty good considering the chaos in the room. The last to join was Irene who was being pulled by ********* across the area. The girl was coughing a bit and inhaling deeply, but soon enough settled in.

She looked to the eyes of all of her teammates. Once more she repeated "This is f*ckin' insane..." The chibi senshi were probably quite adjusted to her fowl mouth. However, she continued on "...I think it's gonna have t'be all or nothin' now... I'm goin' fer broke."

There was a pause as she rather blatantly shot a look towards Polaris, the princess brawling with a worthy adversary from the Dark Mirror. Her teammates would hopefully know what she was getting at.

"...I'm gonna need ya guys t'cover my a** fer a bit... Irene... ya might wanna use yer buff before I get started... Egeria... keep an eye out fer anybody with a really bad weapon... Especially that guy..." The tomboy senshi pointed towards the (assumed) General King. "...if they try t'strike... use yer magic... Eunomia and Vic... maybe try double teamin' any Negaverse creeps or Dark Mirror asses... I know Eunomia's a hard hitter... Hygiea... keep an eye on yer teammates... don't hesitate t'help'em...but don't hesitate t'join in th'fight... And *********... I think ya know what t'do!"

"Yuuup... Roger that!" The guardian saluted before backing up a few steps. She somewhat knew what was coming next.

[Order Roll!]

Grus was getting claustrophobic. There were too many bad guys around her, too many people coming at her right and left. She hissed as another punch landed against her side. She had to do something before the wave of people threatened to consume her. She held out her hands from her sides, feeling the familiar, slightly frightening power build. The feathers formed a ring, pushing her assailant back in confusion. The feathers were glowing with a soft orange and yellow. When Grus felt that power reach it's peak, she let it go, shouting "Feather Barrage!"

------------------

((If anyone wants to be near Grus when she releases her attack, it goes out in a 15 foot range.))

((Another blurb to remind people what it does: Think Jupiter's "Oak Evolution" with feathers. The feathers now have an energy cover that makes them glow with a red and yellow energy. She spins once, thrusting her hands outward, and a ring of the energy covered feathers flies from her body. If the feathers hit someone, they stick to them and the person feels as if the feather cut it's way through them, and they will receive a feather shaped burn on the entrance and exit "holes" of the wound.

Note: The feather is not actually cutting through them, it just feels as if it has and the burns show up where the holes would be if it did cut through them.

If the feathers stick to anything but flesh, such as clothing, it will burn a hole through it. (Exception being like really thick things, like buildings. They will get a 2-3 inch indentation)

[CHAOS ROLL]

Kyanite was squatting a few feet away from Virtus, Mimi, and Remarque. When Virtus introduced her, she waved, offering a weak smile, but otherwise stayed off to the side. She had been healed a bit. There was no telling if it was enough to keep her from, you know, getting herself killed some other way. "Thank you, Remarque!" she called over, ducking down as another senshi ran by. "I'm doing a lot better -- still alive, which is excellent. Thanks to all of you." When this was all over, she would totally make Remarque, Virtus, and Mimi some cookies or something.

...and then suddenly Kyanite was airborn and flipping around like a feather in the wind.





----------------------------------------

When Niflhel spoke, Princess Ares did not react -- except to tighten her grip so that he began to choke. She could care less about his life. She couldn't make him a member of the Dark Mirror. Eventually, he would die anyway -- if Ares had it her way. She eased her grip back just enough to let him breathe again.

Mirrorwraiths were soaring through the battle now. Drawn to the parallel power emanating off of the princess, one soared toward her, passing through Niflhel and draining some of his energy before sinking back toward Leto. "Polaris, it doesn't have to be this way," she said again. "If we fight together, no senshi have to die. Or this Knight, either." Of course not. She would give him to the Negaverse to be corrupted. Easy peasy.

But then Princess Polaris decided to use her crystal power. Ares had her own -- but it would flood the room with smoke. The Negaverse could teleport out, but the odds of the senshi surviving it would be low. The parallel princess had no desire to kill off a room full of future members of her court. Still, it hurt her pride to be suddenly flung about like a ragdoll and have no choice to use her own sparkly power.

In her attempt to hold on to Niflhel, Ares clawed long, deep gouges into his throat. It wouldn't kill him, but it was a severe injury -- and the feeling of flesh dripping blood until her nails was a tiny boon to the pain that radiated throughout the parallel princess.

Ares might have been able to resist the thrall of Polaris' attack better than the other non-princess or GKs in the room, but it didn't stop her from bobbing around as she bounced away from everyone in her vicinity. Her wings pumped to steady herself. She still swayed until she finally came to rest on a rafter far from Polaris, Niflhel, and everyone else. The Princess dove forward, determined to go for Polaris, but again, she was repelled.

An attack that repelled? It was good intel -- but pissed the princess off to no end.

Oh. Right. Wounder. Wounds. Lesath shook her head, laughing as well. Boy. Talk about your blonde moments. She gave a casual little wave to Howlite, then glanced around the room, her eyes landing on some rather familiar braids, and an equally familiar looking fuku.

Aha. There was Acubens. Well. This would be an interesting part of the night, she was sure of that.

Lesath walked over to the senshi and tapped her on the shoulder. “Easy there. You shouldn’t stoop to their levels after all.” Her tone was light, though that could well have been forced. She looked the girl over, eyes looking for any injuries or anything else that would be considered bad.

“Have they hurt you, Acubens?” There was no coddling tonight. Tonight, the White Moon senshi was the enemy…even though Lesath was still trying to get her to see the light, she wasn’t quite sure it would work, and was preparing herself for the other option.

Like other things in life, this too was join or die.

[Order]

For a moment, the ridiculousness of the situation occurred to Aquarius. There was a huge battle raging around her. There was definitely a body count, judging from some of the obstacles she was trying to avoid. Her princess was elsewhere, quite possibly in a situation that was as bad, if not worse. Yet there she was, helping a stranger haul an unconscious guy to the sidelines, as if they'd been at a party that had somehow gotten out of hand.

Then Eunomia spoke, pulling the body in a different direction. Something about meeting her team. Aquarius had mixed feelings on teams. The Zodiacs almost never functioned as a cohesive whole, and she couldn't say that she liked most of them on a personal level, or even that she knew them well. Still, had there been more of them there, she might have gone over to them simply for security. Alone, or nearly so, she didn't see any problem with tagging along with this girl, at least for the moment, so she grunted her agreement and let Eunomia take the lead.

In. Out. For several agonizingly long minutes, Irene could only focus on breathing, for fear that if she didn't, her lungs would stop working. Slowly, she found herself able to sit up and wipe the tears from her eyes. There was some lingering smoke in the air, stinging her eyes and clogging her throat, but it was nowhere near as bad as it had been. ********* had saved her in the nick of time.

"*********! Thank you sooo much!" Her voice sounded terrible, a collection of coughs and whistles accompanying it, but it beat the alternative of not being able to speak- or breathe- at all. Irene hugged the cat tightly for a moment, then nodded. "I... think I can make it, if I don't run." She held the inhaler tightly, ready to use it again if she had to. There was only so much it could do against such a barrage of triggers, but just having it in her hand made her feel safer, more comfortable.

She lurched to her feet, keeping one hand on the wall to steady herself. Before she started towards the rendezvous point, she looked back at the knight who had helped her and offered a small curtsy. "Thank you so much for your help," she said, wincing as the words mixed with wheezing and hacking. "Please, be careful."

Then she set off, keeping one hand on the wall as she teetered on her high heels towards the sound of Iris' voice, ********* helping to keep her steady. She got there just as the leader of the Asteroids was explaining their instructions. Irene listened carefully, nodded once, and took as deep a breath as she could manage. "Irene's Peaceful-"

Before she could finish, she found herself being tossed away from her teammates. The unexpected and jarring movement left her breathless, and she began to cough again. Not knowing where the attack had come from, Irene slammed the wall in frustration and began the arduous task of returning to a remotely normal and healthy respiratory pattern.

Order Hourly Roll - Kallichore

Suddenly, her supports were gone. Kallichore dropped to the floor in dazed confusion. Where had Pasiphae gone? Where was Tsui? The eternal had heard Polaris call out something but... suddenly everyone was gone. Turning to head to either side, she spotted both senshi and called out to them. "What's going on?" She struggled to stand and get her bearings. Everyone was several feet away from one another.

Kallichore made several steps towards Tsui but was pushed back by some unknown force. Had Polaris done this? The eternal looked up to try and find the princess. Was this her doing?

"Is... is everyone alright?" Her vision started to swim again.
