The thing around his legs was swinging him still, and honestly he was starting to feel more than a little ill. If it kept going, he might lose his soda on some of the unfortunates below, and that was probably the exact opposite of helping people- tossing cookies on them.

Buddingtonite would have charged the offender, even as they were reering for another strike, this time his ammo was a half-eaten chili dog. He had faced off against, what, two or three Eternals and suffered their magic. He had faced off against a youma with the help from a page, and quite a frightening one. And yet, this person, a mere civilian, had the nerve to raise his weapon at him? A chili dog? He would have applauded his bravery, laughed at his stupidity, and he could have ripped his starseed right now. The only thing that stopped him from doing so was the black tentacles that shot down and grabbed the man's arms before he had the chance to throw it.
Another tentacle followed the first, and another, and it was enough to cause his brave facade to falter, and the sight of his struggles made the Negaverse captain chuckle as he made his approach. "The next time you decide to play the role of the hero, either bring a better weapon, or be a little more resourceful with the chili dog you have."
He kind of wanted to pluck it from his hands and eat it as he drained his energy, but time was limited. Instead, he simply slapped it from his hands and began to pull the energy from him. "I could kill you, but I like your spunk. You might make a great officer one day... so, promise me you'll stay alive until then."
Amethyst frowned at his own progress thus far. A child crying for her mother, people scrambling for safety while avoiding the youma that were ravaging the entire place. It was hard to maintain his focus and the slip of his fingers from his current victim resulted in an even smaller prize than his earlier attempts. He really ought to buck up soon else there might be consequences later on.

Eternal Sailor Corvus never thought that she would be grateful to be caught by a tentacle monster. She was, though. The youma had caught her by the arms, lifting her up and away from the bench that had been flung at her by the brute of a Negaverse officer. It was likely for the best, given his size as well as the size of the bench, as she wasn't entirely certain how well she would have come out of that scrape.
The youma, though, seemed bent on hurting her anyways, as youma often did. She let loose a frustrated cry of pain and irritation as the tendrils coiled tighter around her arms, pulling them in opposite directions. It was even more frustrating to feel the power of her senshi magic boiling up within her, so close to the surface at this physical assault from the youma, but not quite enough to push her over the edge. "Is this all you've got!"

Luxor had never had his energy drained before. He felt a little stunned for a moment, a strange sensation unlike anything he could describe came over him. He had nothing to compare it to, after all, but he hardly needed to tell anyone what he was feeling at that moment.
He staggered, away from the Lieutenant's grip. They could do that? They could just grab on to someone and take their life force, their will to fight, right out of them? He felt weaker, dizzy, but he certainly had more to give.
"Stop ignoring me!" He was blinded by his rage and he leapt at the nega again, though his attempts so far had been largely ineffectual. He was not going to be deterred, though, until he was either smacked back to his senses, or he realized there really were people who needed his help all around him.
For now, though, all he could see was red.
He grabbed a broken piece of a pipe, likely from the trapeze and he didn't want to think about that, and used it as bat. His glove was useless as a weapon, so he turned to something with a bit more weight.
This wouldn't do. This simply wouldn't do at all. Amethyst frowned to himself as yet another distressed cry broke his concentration and in doing so, resulted in an even smaller energy orb. Nerves. His nerves were starting to get the better of him now that he surveyed the destruction all around him, a slight quivering beginning to make its presence known in his hands as doubt and uncertainty entered his mind. No. No, he couldn't stop now. Buddingtonite and Titan were counting on him in this and he couldn't fail them as a team member. One thing at a time first, starting with his very next target.

Having just gathered the amount he desired from his unruly patient, Buddingtonite pulled away from the victim and was looking for the next target. That was when the remains of the snow cone thrown at him had the last laugh, as his boot hit the melting remains and he went crashing to the ground with a shout. "Augh..."
He looked around to see if anyone noticed, before picking himself up, brushing his back end, and moving on. Only his pride was damaged... he was just hoping that no one had seen it. "... is what I would have said had I actually been surprised."

When Luxor backed enough to retrieve a length of pipe, it gave Titan enough time to get up again from his back, summoning his weapon from 'hammerspace' (hurrhurr). He brought the handle to bear in time to block the pipe, but metal swung by a magical-buffed enraged man was more than enough to blast the plastic in two and continue right on into the lieutenant's trapezius and collar. Titan could feel the muscle and bone give a little, the collar bone fracturing as reward for his failure to actually be effective in defending himself. Maybe next time he'd pay a little more attention to material physics.
He growled under his breath, shifting back again before the onslaught and dropping the lamed halves of foam foolishness. This was no ordinary entertainer with strength like that. This was someone with power, to be so small and pack that kind of a wallop.
"Declare yourself, væpner."

Not in any shape to attempt extracting energy from an actively struggling target, Amethyst went for a middle-aged lady on the ground this time whom he presumed was one of the victims who had been knocked unconscious after their drop from the youma that were on the trapeze. Reflexively pressing his fingers on the side of her neck for a pulse, he found himself relieved to find one present then wasted no time in drawing forth a perfect sphere. A small one this time since he didn't want to be too greedy and risk killing her in the process.

Managing to do an upside-down sit up by the graces of senshi-magical strength, Thraen clawed like a madcat at the dark limb that was constricting his legs until it finally uncoiled. He dropped like a rock, this time only managing a roll- he felt bruised and shaken when he pushed up to his knees, but at least he was alive still.
He REALLY didn't want to go up there again, but his magic was so useless for ranged business like that. If the things even could sleep. Try his hand with one of the Negaverse agents? Looking at them was like looking at death, and he felt like he might want to vomit again.

There was no reason to stand flat footed while waiting for his enemy to give him his name- so Titan pressed forward, wincing as his collar burned and twinged as his shifted to try to grab a hold of Luxor again.
A powered enemy was just as good a source of energy as any of the surrounding civilians, better really. The orders had been more gruesome on that point, really. But he had his doubts about being able to hold the man still long enough for that until, and if, he could get him so tired as to swoon.

Amethyst was about to move on to yet another target when he stayed still and instead shifted his hand to check on the lady's pulse again. Still strong. It made him wonder if there was a limit to how much he could take before it actually jeopardized her existence. Curious now, he very tentatively worked on withdrawing another similar sized ball of energy from her and then pocketed it as soon as he was done.

The search for his next target was on the way, and he found that the youma were surprisingly effective in the whole 'scooping them up and whisking them away'. The first victim escaped his grasp by his own clumsiness, but this one was swept away merely moments before he had the chance to gather his energy. It was a little frustrating, but he couldn't be angry at the youma for doing their job.
"I wonder how Amethyst and Titan are doing?" Buddingtonite said aloud, looking around the Big Top and looking to see if his companions might have needed an assist. There were still Senshi about, after all, and he didn't wish to be deemed responsible for any losses. He jumped back onto the center rink and cheered them on, wherever they may be. "Keep it up, gentlemen! Keep at it! Don't let up! Gather what you can, when you can! Make this night count!"

There were other scouts around, yes, but he didn't know them at all. They were busy, helping the civilians and attacking the youma- so that's probably what the Court considered priority. So would it be right to jump into combat with the agents? Maybe not, whether he felt brave enough or no.
He settled for running up a few levels of the bleachers to jump and catch a civilian that was being hauled up, unwrapping the coilf from them like unwrapping a python, then caught them and landed with a little jar to his knees. "Go on! Any exit will do, even just through the tent! A wall is just a door with a different key. Get out of here!"
