The direction change was what she needed. A smile appeared over Phact's face and she swung.
And missed!
The youma some how figured out the plan and ducked! It ducked at the last second meaning Phact's swing was already on its way and too far along to redirect. All that was left in the way of the lamp top was the senshi atop the youma. Oh and it found its mark!
Phact on the other hand, both in shock from the mistake and the youma's attacks quickly found herself the new prime target. "Crap..." She winced out as the rhino straightened from the weight removed. Suddenly its front legs lifted up and came down, shaking the ground around him and catching Phact in it. She dropped to her knees, unable to stay standing as she was charged.

Sabine felt the youma move under her, and before she could get her arms out from behind its head, she saw the swing coming her way. She didn't have a chance to block it - or even let go of the youma as the lamp post clocked her clean upside the head. With a loud grunt she fell sideways off the youma bouncing a bit as she was sent sprawling off the beast. Rubbing her head - she was sure it was going to bleed - but no matter, she had to help Phact! Standing up on shaky legs, she could feel the warm trickle of blood as it started to ooze from the cut along her forehead. Her eyes were a bit unfocused but she wasn't going to let that stop her. She rant at the rear of the youma again, as it reared, and vaulting up and over it's rear, she kicked off the back to grab it once again - this time around the neck, her arms locking tight around its throat as she tried to steer it away from Phact into the wall - or anything else really. Anything to give Phact a chance to escape.

Dizzy, Arthur dropped down from the window ledge and started to walk towards them.
"Hey! There - We don't need to do this!" They didn't need to fight THIS youma. They didn't need to die. They didn't need to leave him when he wasn't any use to them.
"Let's GO!"
"PLEASE!"

It was mere seconds from her when everything changed. In a blur, Phact processed why it had pulled back and was now running wild. "SABINE! LET GO!" She called out, finding her legs slowly and stumbling twice. Wincing, Phact realized when she had dropped, she had rolled her ankle. Nothing broken as she pushed forward but damn, it was going to be the size of a basketball.
"SABINE!" She called out again but then was drawn towards the wall. Arthur had dropped. He was hurting. In pain...
She would not lose him.
Stumbling through the path of the rhino, Phact moved for the cat and scooped him into her arms. By the time she stood, she realized the rhino was charging full force.....AT THEM!
Phact had very little time to react and her first instinct had her drop flat and curl around the feline holding him fight to her chest. Over her the rhino charged, stepping on hair, uniform, and then basically tripping over her leg causing a nice cut in her cafe but thank whatever Lord and Savior one believed it, didn't do any more damage.
What it did do damage to was the wall that it hit instead of the flesh of the senshi. Concrete, mortar, pipes and everything else came down around them. It would not be until Phact opened her eyes that she realized half the dust was youma dust....

Unfortunately, Sabine could not simply "let go" of the youma. She was going to ensure it got right on course or she was going to get bucked off - one or the other. So of course, she hit the wall at the full force of the dusted youma and soon had plenty of debris falling around her beside. It was perhaps that she was so shocked from the impact of the wall that her body didn't get completely mangled by the falling debris. Crawling her way out of the mass, she managed to make it next to Phact before she flopped onto her side, coughing up a bit of youma dust. "Did we get it?" She asked hazily, her head was swimming from getting hit, and the blood was still oozing pretty fresh from the wound. She had plenty of other scrapes, scratches and nice bruises on her body from where various part of the wall had fallen on her. "Is Arthur okay?"

He hadn't expected the youma to turn. He hadn't expected Phact to come to him. What he expected was for them to run away and go home. Then again, what should he have expected when he never was involved in a youma fight before. His encounters were always youma escapes and so - he expected the same.
Instead, he dangled as Phact picked him up and was ready to have her race away, but the rhino-ma turned is aggression on them, and Phact dropped. He could feel the ground rumble race closer to them, over them, over HER, and everything shake as rock and dust fell all around them. Curled up, he was quiet, ears back but listening for her.
At the distant call of Sabine, Calder looked up to the woman above her, and rising up, moved to press his head against her ear. "...Phact?" he meowed, a crushing gravity seizing his chest at what had just happened.
He had gotten in the way. He had been useless, and like before, he had failed to save someone he deeply cared about because he knew so little about himself. Because he was just a cat. Because he wasn't capable of helping someone from dangers he wasn't equipped to handle. Because he was useless as anything more than a keeper of company only capable of feeling loss.
He meowed helplessly under Phact, trying to listen for her.

Her eyes might have been open but it took a few hairs breaths before Phact could truly see what had happened. Both she and Sabine lay there, bloodied and covered in a layer of dust, rock, and mortar. But they were alive.
Sabine was alive. That silly girl came through it alright and was awake enough to talk. It was a good sign.
However, she herself had not moved a muscle since curling around to protect Arthur and now, it was the same handsome feline that brought the senshi of doves out of her trance. With the greatest of care, Phact's chest heaved and she deeply inhaled, moving ever so slightly so that one of her hands could find Arthur's head and gently, lovingly, reassure him that she was alright.
"I'm here Arthur." Her voice cooed like the doves she had come to love. Red eyes finally focusing down at the ball of white fur, Phact gave him a warm smile.
And then she shifted her head ever so slightly to gaze towards Sabine. "We are all here. Alive." The word came off her shoulders with a sag. "Sabine, we owe you one."
Her eyes scanned the woman next to her and gently chuckled. "What's bleeding? Forehead?"

Sabine blinked for a moment and reached up toward her head. "I'm bleeding?" She hadn't even noticed in the rush of it all. Not really. It had been a wild ride. She wasn't going to lie, she felt woozy and dizzy. But so far she wasn't seeing double so she figured that was a good sign. Touching her temple brought a wince and a hiss. "Temple, I think." She said with a low click of her tongue. "You should try out for softball or something, Phact." She teased the older woman. Looking down at the cat, she took her non-bloodied hand and tried to pet the top of his head. "What about you? You okay?"

They were young. They were women. Yet they were far stronger than he was. Sitting, bloody, and bruised, they had destroyed a youma and protected him when he barely knew them.
The pat on his head felt distant, his entire body numb after the relief of hearing Phact dissolved into a cold realization. They were alive, but they nearly weren't. If the youma was still alive, they would be dead - and he would be alive or dead. Either way, the y would have died scrambling to protect him.
'You two nearly died." He whispred, looking at them both. Bright, blue eyes wet behind his half-moon spectalces.
"You should have run."

Even covered in everything, she was pretty sure Sabine could see her face wince with the softball comment. "I'm so sorry about that..." Phact whispered, as she slowly worked her hands under her body to get herself off Arthur. She knew if she stayed still too long, getting up would be even harder. It was when she got to a sitting position that she realized her leg was killing her. She didn't want to look.
So when she did and saw the slice down her lower leg, blood running down to the concrete, it was Phact's turn sigh. That was going to leave a mark. Not to mention make walking interesting for a while. "I'm going to need help getting up in a bit..." She spoke with a soft annoyance towards Sabine.
A soft mew though drew her attention back down. What she saw made her heart break. "Oh Arthur..." Once more her hand reached out to his head. Softly, scared he would run, she touched the side of his face. Whiskers moved under her touch as she ran her hand towards his back. What could she say? He was right. They could have died...
"If we would not have done something, there is no telling how many others could have suffered. But you did something amazing yourself. What was that light?" Phact was speaking softly, adjusting her bleeding leg to unlock her stiff knee. "And where did it come from?"

Sabine frowned a bit as Phact winced. "It's okay, you didn't mean to." She smiled and gave the other woman a small nod. "I need to just learn to duck faster is all." When she saw the damage to Phact's leg though she hissed a bit, and tore off a bit of the skirt on her uniform to tie just above the wound to try and keep it from bleeding so much. That's what they did in the movies right? Turning her attention back to Arthur she gave him a small smile. "We could have, but we didn't. Like Phact said - if we don't do something innocent people get hurt." She nodded her head. "It's risky, but we gotta do it. Though yeah - what was that thing?" She was curious herself - she wasn't aware cats could shoot lasers.

He moved over where Phact's leg rested and started to lick her leg, working to clean it. It was more than he had seen aside from a cat he once saw get hit by a car.
"I'm not good going with you then. I don't help. Now look." Her leg was probably broken and Sabine might have a concussion. He been around hospitals enough to know he didn't like them.
"It's....just a thing. It usually pushes a youma away from me. Gives me time to hide somewhere, but I rarely am that close to one to use it. It makes me very tired. Not good for running away." He said, sighing from exhaustion as he went to keep licking her leg before looking up at Sabine. "Come here, Sabine."

Phact just remained still as they both looked towards her leg. It hurt but she was either in shock or just ignoring the pain. It wouldn't last long and she would hate life...at least walking. Even as Sabine tied the fabric around her leg, she gave a harsh wince only made more painful by the rough feel of Arthur's tongue. It was like sandpaper on the raw skin and made small tears come to her eyes.
But she did not move. It was his way of caring. Besides, at least she could see skin under that blood.
"It was powerful Arthur." She winced as she watched him "But I think we are all tired. Sabine, do you think you can..." She motioned to her leg...

Sabine shot Arthur a small mock-salute. "Yes sir!" She moved quickly to Arthur as he directed, wincing a bit as she looked the leg in question. She wasn't sure what they were going to do about it - and hopefully it wasn't broken just really cut up. Still. She smiled at Phact and nodded her head. "I'm pretty sure I can help you get up and help you walk anywhere you need to go!" She was putting on a chipper face, even if her head still hurt like crazy and all she wanted to do was go home and sleep for a month. "Phact's right Arthur! You could have nailed that Youma good. Just got to work on your aim a smidge that's all." She smiled at the cat, petting him on the head as she looked to Phact. "You ready to move?"

He moved away from Phact's leg and sat there. "Should I.............do..........anything?" His tone was defeated, knowing that in the large scope of things, there wasn't anything he could do. He doubted a mouse, hairball, or meowing would somehow improve her situation.
