Welcome to Gaia! ::

Galena had straightened up and done her best to push out any visible signs of mental weakness when she noticed General Serpentine addressing her.

However, everyone else was given orders to set up a perimeter and Galena found herself sensing order auras flanking on all sides. The uncertain Lieutenant was flustered again.

She noticed Serpe and Zircon splitting up and ended up following the general's position in the confusion, swallowing against her dry mouth in the wake of what felt like failure to obey against an impossible tide.

"S-sir," She said, doing her best to project some semblance of knowing what she was doing.

"Enemies and members of opposing alignment approaching from all sides, I need some direction." At least something to go against her instincts that were shouting at her, reminding her she didn't know how to fight and she was terribly outmatched by the majority of players now on the field.

Zirconia was still fuming about her fishing night being cut short and ad not bothered to shift down to a less obnoxious form than the energy leaking half-cat. She tread through the park and its increasing population, bare footed and indignant and her bangles clattering with every bratty stomp.

But then she saw a familiar head of blonde hair raise his fist in the face of a growing Chaos crowd and she sauntered in his general direction, and then took a step back to avoid the swing of a net, eyes lidded in total unamusement. There was no urgency to be found here.

"You're an idiot," Was the bystander remark. "Do you know what's going on or are you here to just pick on basics and shout to the heavens?"

The corrupt who was on the other end got a bit of a cheeky wave that was mostly fingers acknowledging his presence, but the lilac haired cat-girl was mostly just making casual conversation with her errant roommate.

"I don't know any of them." Massalia admitted quietly, frowning a bit. Pisces nodded.

"Me either, unfortuanately." But neither seemed bothered, Massalia adjusting.

The attack began quickly, and Massalia fidgeted when he was questioned.

"Distract one or two, maybe. Would help if I had a soccer ball."

THAT made him grin viciously, the boy giggling. "Pisces and I brought a General down together with one, and rocks!"

Pisces coughed.

"Only to run. I could-- create a brief distraction myself, maybe one that can frighten them?" Pisces offered. "But I need a clear picture in my imagination." After a moment, she motioned to Horatio. "I can hold you if we need to run, little one. I mean - I need to remain still to use my magic, but it may be of help."

ASnd the other end of the park gave Emily WQren Wiley pause to stare, listening before her expression darkened. Of course people were being loud and... Dressed like... LARPers? Oh for God's ******** sake. Emily's expression became cranky, but she tried to remain out of the gathering area, watching for now with one hand withdrawing her camera phone, speaking to it with a grouchy tone.

"Here we see the infamous rude LARPer folks," Her tone was sour and her expression matched. "Note the silly costumes and ******** lack of planning. And ya'll make fun of my Loki complex. Yousee now why shortcuts suck in this shithole city guys? I keep running into ******** after dark doing good God knows what."

She clicked off recording, moving to put her phone away and try slipping by.

"Mother ******** son of a c**k sucking wqhore. I just want to take this case and go home.

Camelot was surprised when a DMC aura approached him, turning to see Navi appearing out of the darkness nearby. He was glad to see her, in a way, because he had been worrying about her ever since their talk. But of course, he would not be able to tell her that, and he was not inclined to talk about her relationship with his son. The fact that Nathan was serious enough about anything to develop a lasting relationship with anyone. And of course Nathan would have to pick a Senshi on the Dark Mirror team, which was enough to leave Camelot in a constant state of worry and uncertainty whenever the thoughts popped up.

But he knew, as best as he was able to trust, that she had no intention of corrupting her son. She was not the enemy she had once been, and though Camelot had started off on an impossibly wrong foot with her, it seemed like they had managed to get closer now. He nodded at her as she came up to him, half in greeting and half to accept that he was not going to be awkward around her right now.

Probably.

"It seems like there is a senshi that wants to purify, but the Negaverse is here to stop him: I am to make sure they do not succeed in that."


Merlinite heard someone calling for him and frowned thoughtfully, looking around in confusion for a moment. Whenever someone could not find the source of a sound, it seemed, they looked in the most unlikely of directions. He looked up and down, as if he expected someone to either be flying above him or burrowing at his feet, before he turned and spotted the bush responsible for talking to him.

It took him a moment to recognize that the bush itself was not what he had to worry about, but the girl inside it. Scooting over quickly, looking around wildly in hope that no one saw him conversing with this foliage, or worse, with the senshi inside, he stooped and hissed a whisper.

"What are you doing here? Why are you in that bush?!" Was she not there to defend the corrupt senshi 'traitor', and fight for what was right, as far as her side seemed to see things? And of course, he was there to stop them all, which he was not doing just yet.


General Painite picked her targets. They all looked so damn pretty and innocent, absolutely helpless, who was she to ignore how utterly tempting they were? A little white squire, a little white kitty, and... well. She did not seem to fit the little white theme Painite was building, but a Page was not all that intimidating to her, either. Maybe together they would prove a formidable team.

Or maybe she would be able to rip them apart, piece by piece, and let the others watch.

Teleporting over to them, she span her spear over her head as she appeared, letting it come to rest with its business end pointing toward the small group. A grin plastered her face, splitting it almost in half as she admired the trio she had opted to join. They were just so damn cute. They were going to regret it. If they lived that long.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," she said, lacking anything even close to resembling regret, "but I thought we were here for a battle. I thought I'd cut a lot of the s**t and bring you one directly."

She did not attack right away, though, pausing long enough to give them a chance to get their bearings before she charged, swinging her spear wide enough to target at least the two humans, though the cat was probably safe from the arch of her blade, unless she got lucky.

Vespa was genuinely surprised to see just how many had arrived. Was it all Pasiphae's doing, or did it have something to do with the video that Buddingtonite was talking about? Or maybe it had everything to do with the fact that there were so many Chaos and Order aura in a single area that had drawn so many others out? Camelot he knew would be there and had trusted the Royal Knight, but the sight of Maia, Athene and Liryn accompanying the Royal Knight... his heart swelled with joy and relief.

It was overwhelming, so overwhelming, but to see so many others standing with him, those he had never met, or even those of the Dark Mirror Court. He did not recognize Tantalus, but he remembered Amytis. How could he forget her? They did not strike against him, so he assumed that they were here to help... whether it was out of genuine desire to help his situation or out of some kind of revenge, but he would not turn down the help.

The one that surprised him the most, however, was Azurite, and he almost dropped his guard, wanting to grab her before she got out of reach. He had just met her- what the hell was she doing?! "Azurite, n-no... this... this will make you a traitor too! Is that what you want?!"

If Vespa was surprised to see Azurite take a stand, then Buddingtonite was simply beyond himself! As if he didn't already feel alone when allies of the little traitor seemed to flock towards him, but Azurite's scolding was probably the worst!

His weapon lowered slightly, his defenses dropped, as he addressed her. "Now, now, Az... you know that I adore you and I like your spirit, but this is important Negaverse duty right now and Mica's orders can't be disobeyed! I think you're making a bit of a mistake and you should probably leave, before Mica decides to-"

Mica cut him off, gripping her spear and slamming it on the ground, threatening to trigger its power but just managing to prevent the ice from forming at the hilt. She stared at the opposition, noticing that the one she wanted was trapped behind a wall, filled with people that had no business being there! "Enough! Let her stand with the traitor and die alongside him. Buddingtonite, open a portal and let the youma out. There are far too many people in this park and I want them weeded out"

It was a simple plan. Release the youma and hope that there'd be enough to distract their opposing reinforcements for force them away from her target. The ones she'd have to fight through were more than enough, and she glared at Camelot, taking in his overwhelming aura and preparing her spear as she lunged at him first. "I don't know what you are now, but you're too dangerous to be allowed to live. I'll get the Wasp eventually... even if I have to skewer you and a few pesky senshi first!"

Buddingtonite held his tongue, surprisingly, against Mica's threat, though he was quick to obey the command. And perhaps a little too happy to, as he lifted his hands in the air. "I've always wanted to do this... ARISE, BEASTLY MINIONS OF THE NEGAVERSE!"

Mintaka tried not to laugh at Merlinite's terrible hunting skills. The negaverser would not make a good hufflepuff indeed. Instead another, "Psst over here Merlinite, jeez." came from the bush.

Once he was close enough, she pulled him in until they were both inside the bush. It was a really big damn bush but not that big that they weren't close to each other. "Shh, keep your voice down to a whisper." She didn't seem to mind the close quarters as she kept a watchful eye on her surroundings, she wouldn't be able to rely on aura's for an incoming enemy so she was being EXTRA WATCHFUL AND CAREFUL.

"I am here because this was where I was sipping my nightly tea before this whole shabang started." She put a finger to her lips as if to say shhhhhh dang Merlinite, "WE'RE in the bush, and if you keep saying it loudly, we aren't going to be in a bush for much longer. I don't know what's going on..." she admitted, "Really, I was just drinking my tea and suddenly there was chaos and order aura's popping up everywhere! is something going on?" She laced her hands together, "This...this isn't another attack on the Dark mirror court is it?" She had terrible luck in running into these things. As far as she could tell though, she hadn't seen hide nor hair of a dark mirror senshi.

The message through her phone got Ida's immediate attention and without a thought, she turned and raced for the park. Athene called, she would answer. She would have done so for anyone, but for her team? There was no way she could say no... they fought better together, they always did.

As the eternal ran, she wondered who it was that was trying to purify and if it were Iris performing it. Last time she had seen the Princess, been witness to a purification, it had gone so badly... but something good had come of it, in the end. The glow that wrapped her arm and curled over her face was the mark of that. Despite the warning of Negas, Ida was determined that this attempt, whomever it was, would find more success than Bischofite had.

The scene Ida burst in on was as bad as she had expected, with a message she had gotten. There were powered signatures everywhere, chaos and order and dark mirror... all different levels. Somewhere off to the side, she felt Camelot glowing like the sun and it warmed her to know he was here. What was far less heartwarming, though, was the sight of an all too familiar general..

Painite... She looked no worse for wear after their last run in. Whatever had been plaguing her that time, it seemed to be gone and she was in fine form, hefting her spear to threaten a small group... that included Hvergelmir. Ida reacted without thinking, throwing her hand up as she ran forward to call out her attack.

"Heavenly Orchid Arrows!" Ida shouted as she skidded to a halt, gold heels scraping on the ground. "Painite! Your fight is over here!" The arrow sprang to life between her hands and the eternal released it with a flex of her fingers, sending it roaring across the space between her and her long-time enemy.

Snowball nuzzled into Ana's hand as she reached up to pet him from his shoulder perch. Though his furr fluffed as a chaotic aura came into his field. "s**t."

He hissed at General Painite as she appeared lifting a paw from Hver's shoulder to flex the claws and barred teeth. As long as no one actually picked him up he could try to look threatening from the squire's shoulder. "Go away, we're not bothering anyone." He managed to growl. Obviously he didn't want to fight and he didn't need Ana in this fight either.

And then from no where he heard an attack shouted and a senshi running in to save them. "Oh thank god. We need to move. Now."



Buyan smiled at the General she'd just hit in the face and giggled. "Honey you're all washed up!" With that she ran off towards the playground. She was getting the hell out of dodge while he took a bath. Hopefully that'd help even the score around the fountain though if he chased after her.

Buyan was pretty sure he couldn't resist her tail feathers.

Picnic Area
Victoria looked around the park, he was lost confused and a little bit dazed with all the commotion. Finally he grabbed out his senshi phone and decided to send an text to Iris.



The chaos was way more than he was use to and he was looking to see if there was anyone near him in direct need of help. While he was near the picnic area he didn't see any of the team or ********* and he was slightly concerned with quickly directing civilians in the direction he'd come from which he knew for a fact was away from the violence.

Playground Area
Hugbell saw a youma headed towards the playground and she'd just cleared it of a few stray children, where in the world these kids parents were she had no idea but this was not cool. . . . Of course the teen kind of realized this was double standards but no time to worry about that now. "Nonononono" She whispered under her breath she headed for the youma aiming to distract it.

Grassy Area
Halley had seen a page throw and nail a General in the head with a . . . . miniature harp? Maybe a Lyre either way the senshi of superstition winced. That clearly had to hurt.

However she did see a Youma heading for the fountain and she knew that Youma were bad. . . . so she could obviously help there right!?
