Liryn: Current HP = 100 [Liryn is targeting Vulpine Youma Sunchild for a total of 8 damage]
Vespa had kind of been the last person that Liryn had been expecting to sudden pop into existence and for a moment purplish eyes looked startled as they looked past the crouched eternal senshi by him and towards the approaching blond senshi.
Mayhaps it was the sixth addition that turned out to be the straw that broke the camel's back or perhaps the Captain had already been aware of them given Liryn's struggle to shield five people. Either way however it seemed that the game was up and with a sound that was part tiredness and part relief Liryn stopped blocking the auras. It seemed pointless to continue doing so, particularly given the Captain's comment of them outnumbering her.
And then he realised that Vespa had stopped and although he was addressing the Captain he was also looking panicked.
He looked back at the eternal senshi by him "I'm going to help him" he said by way of explanation before starting to pad over in Vespa's direction and then he stopped and looked back as he added "But I will help you with the youma too" before padding the last of the distance separating him from Vespa and rubbing against the wasp eternal's ankles.
The senshi who had talked about 'yo mamas' had chosen that moment to mention that he could talk and although Liryn was still confused about the yo mamas and not too sure about why him talking was squeal worthy had nonetheless nodded from his position by Vespa's ankles "I can talk" he agreed. "But I don't really know *********." He knew of the other guardian cat and knew that Athene in particular seemed to know her to the point that his voice was fond when he talked about the other mauvian and he knew that Ash knew her. However the silvery furred mauvian wasn't one that Liryn had ever really seen other in passing and knowing that Ash knew her didn't really count either because Ash seemed to know everyone.
With the captain on the scene it didn't take long for things to escalate and then suddenly the youma were attacking, well three of them were at any rate.
More help for them seemed to have arrived too - in the form of another knight with an awesome looking net and an interesting looking bull head on his armour. However much as Liryn would have been all for getting a better look, now wasn't really the best time for it - not with the youma attacking and so with one last rub against Vespa's ankles Liryn told the wasp senshi "I'm going to help" the only warning he gave before launching himself, claws out at the vulpine youma that had targeted the blue haired senshi.
Personal HP: 200 Attacking: physical attack, Owl Youma Pwylla for 13 damage
More faces appeared, more voices added. The captain was staying back, cool and confident. What is up the sleeve then? We can only do our best and meet what traps and trials as they come. Battle is joined.
Which meant following up on his suggestion and aiding Penthesilea as vanguard. Watching a net fly for the Owl, Kairatos' name and image came to recognition of one of the new arrivals from magic. Egg mess was everywhere, too. He opted to use some of the remaining stone architecture to ricochet jump the angles and get above the owl, driving from above with Kairatos' net from below to bring the creature down. How do knight weapons work...? Are they magically reinforced? I hope its wings don't cut the net.
Receiving relatively little, if any, resistance, Circe gives a piglike cry of delight. Its spines puff up, like some kind of expensive Japanese fish, and it barrels through the confined space towards Penthesilea again.
Sunchild is tiny and cute. This is not proving to be an asset to the small fox youma, unfortunately. It yowls again and attempts to bite Squire Gillitie on the throat, claws flailing.
Caught in Kairatos's net, Pwylla gives a too-human cry of distress and flails against the net. It isn't able to take flight, but its attempts send sharp-edged wings in every direction.
Spider Personal Youma Jesse [50HP] is out of range! Captain Jamestonite [150HP] is out of range!
Jamestonite frowns, and picks her personal youma up off her shoulder. Once she lowers it to the ground, Jesse disappears into the overgrown grass.

Health 144, attacking Vulpine Youma Sunchild for 7 damage
When Gillitie woke up this morning, this was not in any way how she had intended her day to go, but she wasn't complaining as of yet. (Even if, yes, she felt a little bad for attacking something that resembled nothing as much as it did a mishmash of adorable animals.) A flailing claw caught her across the nose, and the shark-esque maw of crystalline teeth managed to chew her sleeve -- but nothing too bad, nothing too terrible, a re-henshin and a bandage would fix it up! At the worst, she'd have a very interesting battle scar.
She got as much distance as was possible with practically straddling the youma (there was a paw right near her boob and it was kind of weird if she thought about it), drew back her fist, and Gillitie Squire proceeded to sock Sunchild directly in the face. In the muzzle? She wasn't really sure about the proper term. It was a youma, you didn't really think too hard about anything relating to them besides SMASH.
"OW! Stupid..." Kairatos started to cuss out the alarmingly human sounding Owl, who had opened a red gash on his leg in it's furious flailing, and regretted having so much less armor than Camelot. His own uniform had advantages, but wrestling a flying knife drawer really wasn't in that list. "Thanks for the backup" He added to Thraen, the last word emphasizes as he used his more armored boot to deliver a stomp toward the bird.
He knew they'd once been human, but this wasn't like Bischophite. There was, as far as he knew, absolutely no hope for this creature, and it would take everyone it could down with it.
They'd have to get that damn pig next, but one thing at a time. Surely everyone else could pull together and help Penesthesia? She certainly seemed to be an enticing target, and he was guessing it was the whole 'glow' thing that seemed to have started going around.
Babylon had certainly set off an interesting chain reaction. Neon signs all over.
"Help Vegas-Xena next?" He suggested. Too busy for names, go for the obvious descriptive qualities.
Health: 150, attacking Owl Youma Pwylla for 11 damage
"Again?!" Megrez shouted, not even bothering to keep her voice down. Penthesilea was going to be turned into a ribbon and a pincushion at the same time if something wasn't done fast. Her gaze shifted from Circe to Pwylla to Kairatos, to whom she yelled, "Don't call her that! Her name is Pen-the-sil-e-a!" before deciding to move in on the owl youma. It was surely just about on the ropes by now; if she could dodge the whirlwind of wings, she could probably deal a decisive blow. Beside, attacking the spiny pig while its spines were up seemed a bit more dangerous than attacking the thing that... had some soft spots somewhere. Surely.
And it seemed that she had hit one of those soft spots; she felt fairly confident with where her foot landed when she gave the owl youma a swift kick.
Thraen Personal HP: (200-7dmg) = 193 Attacking: physical attack, Porcine Youma Circe for 2 damage
"United we stand." It was said breathless, Megrez come near to deliver more damage to the owl besides Kairatos'. The other Youma was still single in focus on Penthesilea- no doubt something she could handle, but better done in concert. That much he could agree on, even if he wasn't going to dignify the 'nickname'. Talking about Penthesilea's outfit when the man was trying to be a legionary reenactor was poor taste.
Thraen freed what bladefeathers were caught in wood and leg with a swift tug and crow hop out of the other two's way to aim a trip step toward's the porcine's charges.

Liryn: Current HP = 100 [Liryn is targeting Vulpine Youma Sunchild for a total of 3 damage]
Clawing at the youma had had some success and so Liryn swiped at the fox youma again.
The second time was much less successful though and he was only able to give a glancing swipe to the thing.
Eternal Sailor Penthesilea -- 177 HP -- is targeting Porcine Youma Circe and Vulpine Youma Sunchild for 46 magic dmg!
Two of the youma swarmed her, because of course they did, and Penthe let out a torrent of creative Cajun swearwords. Casting aspersions on the parentage of youma was, however, not getting her very far, and so instead she tried to disengage herself enough to call on her magic. At least there were assists coming in, which she appreciated - from Thraen, Megrez, and a Knight she recognized from that terrible night in the warehouse -- Kairatos, she thought?
"Penthesilea Warpath!" She declared, calling on the glowing red blade and swinging it first at the pig, and then at the fox.
With that handled, she spun to look over at Kairatos. "Vegas-Xena! I like that!" She said, laughing. "Can't even argue it don't fit!"

Sailor Nassovia HP: 96 // Casting a non-damaging magical AoE attack targeting Circe, Sunchild and Pwylla. Description will follow.
The senshi of morning glories shrieked as she watched the shiny vulpine youma lunge at her, emitting a much more powerful screech of its own. Tears filled her eyes as the monster began to sink its teeth into her shoulder. Luckily, Gillite knocked the golden fox away before it could do more severe damage.
While trying to catch her breath, Nassovia tried to remember what she was supposed to say to call her attack. Thankfully, Gillite and Liryn had successfully distracted her attacker. She took a quick glance around. Everyone else seemed to be much more in charge of the madness than she. Madness....madness.....that's it!
"Nassovia Morning Madness!"
She didn't quite know what to expect, but the magic felt natural enough to her; as if she had dreamed it long ago. Morning glory vines crept down her arms and burst into bloom, releasing a hallucinatory aroma onto the battlefield.
Sailor Nassovia
Nassovia Morning Madness! Morning glory vines creep down Sailor Nassovia's arms and bloom, releasing a scent which carries with it the psychotropic properties of the morning glory. This causes enemies near Sailor Nassovia to experience a mild hallucinatory high for two rounds. Mild distractions may occur, but the victims of the attack are still aware of their surroundings.
*Sailor Nassovia has no control over what is being hallucinated. Hallucinations at this stage should be simple shapes, colors and sounds. There should be no dinosaurs in tutus philosophizing with you.
Before Dallol even realised it, the battle had already begun with the Captain sending all three youmas save for the spider one on her shoulder towards the group, the Senshis, Knights and even the sole talking kitty all springing into action in the face of the impending threat before them. The small fox and owl youmas were covered sort of through their combined efforts which would mean that she should go after the piglike youma that was intent on bringing down the glowing runic warrior princess-like Eternal Senshi (Penthesilea).
Calling her weapon to her hand, the blue-haired Squire tightened her grip on it then lowered it as she dashed forth to take a swing at the prickly bag of spines that was the youma. There was no way at all that she was going anywhere near that with the virtually nonexistent protection that her fuku would lend her in a combative situation.

Porcine Youma Circe is dusted!
Three blows later, Circe falls to the ground, its reign of terror ended.
Vulpine Youma Sunchild is dusted!
Sunchild collapses under Penthesilea's focused magical attack, and turns to dust. It leaves behind a couple of teeth, small, sharp, and crystalline.
Owl Youma Pwylla is dusted!
Pwylla does not stop screaming its too-human scream until Megrez's foot ends its life.
Spider Personal Youma Jesse [50HP] is somewhere around here...
"Nice," hisses a tiny voice from somewhere nearby. "For invaderss, you're not bad." The hairless white spider-youma skitters across a corner of the wooden floor, and through one of the holes. "It iss just too bad that that is all the successs you will have."
Captain Jamestonite [150HP] is out of range!
Jamestonite has seated herself at the edge of the field, and is retying her shoes.
"What can I say?" Kairatos called to the creeping spider youma, his eyes glancing around for a sign of it's location, though he thought he had a decent idea of how to really get it's attention as he put a hand to the small metal 'urn' around his neck. He could almost smell the pleasant scented oil inside, warmed by being close to his body heat, but not half as warm as the burning shape that began to form as he recovered his net from the dust that remained of the Owl youma that had stopped screaming. "Some of us were born to bring the good fight to the game."
As the burning shape of an powerful bull with long horns appeared, Kairatos pointed across the field to the seated agent, tying her shoes and gave a simple command.
"Asterion, charge."
And with deliberate,casual theater, he grinned cockily at Megrez as he gestured at the senshi of War. "SHE likes it, Eggs." He pointed out, regarding the nickname, his grin widening as the bull put it's head down and barreled across the field towards it's target, hooves pounding the earth like a muffled roll of thunder.

Liryn: Current HP = 100 [Liryn is targeting Spider Personal Youma Jesse via cat beam for a total of 7 magical damage]
His swipe at the vulpine youma hadn't been as effective as Liryn would have liked, but the magic sure as anything was as the glowing red blade wielded by glowing red-haired eternal made short work of the youma.
It seemed that the other two attacking youma had been dusted too as Liryn couldn't sense their auras anymore.
That wasn't all the youma though, he could still sense one somewhere about, could...
Almost as if on cue a voice spoke up in hissing tones and as Liryn turned his head in the direction that he thought he heard it coming from he heard the sound of skittering. He wasn't particularly impressed as he tried to track the youma, after the group of senshi and knights around him were strong - the way that they'd made short work of the other three youma was a testament to that.
The blond knight addressed the youma as he did something with the thing around his neck and he couldn't help but stare fascinated at the burning bull that formed and that the knight send charging out as a part of him wondered if this was something all knights could do. He made a mental note to ask one of the few knights he knew as he tried to track the youma - like Luxor who had agreed to take him to his Wonder one day or that one with the super strong aura that he'd met whilst trying to sneak into the library - Camelot.
He thought he caught movement and had an idea, even if said idea would leave him super tired.
His star sparked, as he contined to try and watch for movement from the skittering youma and then caught sight of something moving across the wooden floor - there!
He let the kitty beam fly in that direction, was pretty sure that it had scored a hit... At least he hoped it had scored a hit.
"Thanks, Penthesomething," Gillitie Squire grinned, pocketing the teeth because she didn't need a reason, and pushing herself to her feet. And Nassovia seemed to have found her feet, and the cat was on the offensive -- so she moved to protect Liryn, hovering around the much smaller being like an anxious mother at her child's first recital.
If the spider youma tried to attack this cat, this darling creature, she was going to do unpleasant things. So out of worry of getting in the way, Gillitie simply...hovered.
