Dark Mirror Prince Remarque Location: H9 Action: Moving to H9 and inviting the DMS around him to join him (Demeter, you can come too)
If this was space, it lacked the beauty and reverence demanded by the Surrounding. Remarque liked this far less than his last big celestial get-together. This felt quite a bit more catastrophic, and without the benefit of a scenic backdrop.
At least there were more Dark Mirror Senshi this time. More Negaverse Agents and Senshi and Knights, too. Definitely more aliens.
But, he wasn’t picky. As long as they got out of there, he didn’t care who he was fighting with.
The wind was uncomfortable against his wings but he was willing to deal with that in exchange for the power it guaranteed him. Not that he was entirely sure how to use it right now, when their enemy was what felt like a thousand miles above them and so large that he couldn’t immediately pinpoint where to even try to attack.
…So, he hoped Mirrorspace knew what it was doing. And the rest of their allies, too.
There didn’t seem to be a right answer here, there were no vantage points. There were people, scattering, across a flat field. Every empty space looked just as unappealing as the next. So, he trusted his gut.
“I’m picking a spot, and I’m going to stay there.” He gestured to the general direction he had in mind so they'd know where to look if they decided to head elsewhere. “You can come with me unless you have a better idea, but if your better idea doesn’t pan out, you’ll know where to find me."

Princess Cybele Location: E5 Action: Stumbling, trying to keep the group together.
It wasn't like going to space. The pressure was awful. For a moment, Cybele felt like her insides were turning out. Her maimed feet were, as usual, a bit numb and a bit sore. The enormous forces were far too much for them, and as they arrived at whatever celestial battlefield this was, she toppled onto her knees in a mess of too-long sleeves and wings.
It was part of her life, but she still felt the heat spread across her cheeks to have it happen when she was trying to stand tall for her allies. Oh well. She pulled herself back up slowly, looking around to take a headcount of those she'd been with.
Danube was here. The others?
"Don't suppose there's a way we can get this thing to eat Laurelite without eating the rest of us?" Most likely not, it seemed enormous, but she could try to add a moment of levity while she looked to see if there was anywhere she could attack.

Nectaris, Knight of the Moon Location: C3 Action: Moving with the squad, getting a little too close for comfort to a GK
Cryolite was here. He was running to her, and he was hugging her, and she wrapped her arms back around him in turn. She squeezed. He was soft but strong. Warm, even in the storm.
The world faded around them. Like, literally.
That probably was actually a bad thing.
Emain Ablach was trying to get them away from where everyone had landed. She followed him, tugging at Cryolite's wrist to get him to come after her. She squeezed it.
"It's a long story," she told Emain, giving him a look that was slightly apologetic. Only slightly, though. She could see the other uncles now. Maybe Promethei could back her up?
Although, as they stopped, she couldn't help but notice that they'd ended up running the same direction as one of the General Kings. She glanced at him. She glanced at Cryolite. She glanced at Emain Ablach, also a traitor.
She glanced at the giant snake in the sky. They all had bigger problems, right?
Right?

I think Lepidolite is supposed to be in the area if not ignore!
Ran was regretting answering the summons by the time he was halfway through the transit to the dark shadowy place filled with lightning that they now found themselves in. Landing roughly did not help this feeling, and he dragged himself up from his scuffed knees as quickly as he could. He was just in time to be grabbed by the arm by Onasilos, who gestured at a senshi with four little wings.
"She needs protecting!" And off Onasilos went, dragging Ran a couple of steps until he remembered to let go of him. But, by that point, Ran was caught up in the moment and followed him, even as the idea of potentially heading into danger was screaming at him internally. He did, however, glance back reflexively to see if anyone else was following them, for better or for worse. He saw Stromboli look between Abzu, Pendour, Mystras, and then the two of them.
He saw Stromboli make the decision to dash after them.
Things happened quickly. So much so that Hy barely had time to register the arrival of a heavy and dark presence that was Laurelite before the world around them seemed to turn into a vacuum. Hy hadn’t been a willing participant of whatever it was that sucked them in as he boots skidded across grass, but it was a futile attempt to stay in Destiny City. Whatever higher being it was that had its sights set on them was too powerful and the Knight was taken along for a ride with the rest of them.
The space they were dropped into was disorienting and vast. The ground was the ground, sure, but what was the ground and were they now within the storm itself? Clouds seemed to roll all around them.
Thankfully, it seemed that Hy was still with the company she had been with at the beginning. Along with a large group of people and the press of bodies bothered her. Especially considering how many chaos members were here. So, she made way to a more open vacate location. She glanced behind her to see if her company was also joining. Grieve was much more versed in the universe itself and Hy felt the Deep Space Senshi could prove useful with knowledge. Not to mention the woman came across as quite capable in other areas.
“I am hoping you have an idea of what the hell this place is?” She questioned Grieve as he eyes drifted to the Lieutenant that had also managed to be deposited with them in Grieve's grip. She stared them (Nekoite) down.
The sky roiled above and a glimmer of a scale that was far too large to be real glistened above before disappearing. ******** great.
Aquitania smiled as she finished tying the bag to her belt. "Once I figure out how to tell Almadel, I'll thank him for the gift," she replied, considering for a moment the interesting fact that the gift-giver had been an alie--
Aquitania winced and reached up to clutch at her ears as the pressure suddenly increased, and lightning struck the ground three times in quick succession. She nearly screamed as she felt as though her body were being warped in every direction, and would have, if not for the strange breathlessness that came with it. And, as suddenly as it began, it suddenly stopped.
Wherever they were, it was most emphatically not on Earth. Or, if it was, it was hanging at some very strange point in the Earth's atmosphere, in the eye of a multi-directional storm. With solid, glassy ground beneath her feet. None of this made sense, but she supposed that if they were going to fight some great monster from beyond the stars, this was the kind of battlefield it warranted.
And then it flashed past--the Calamitous Hollow. Her eyes widened in shock.
Nope. No way Metis was blinding something like that. It was too big. One scale was the size of a schoolbus. The eye had to be the size of a semi truck, or something, or maybe an airplane. Any kind of magic attempted tonight would need to be very big, boost people whose magic was very big, or protect people whose magic was very big. No other way to do it. Metis seemed strong, but they probably needed an army of people as strong as her to have a snowball's chance in the hereafter of beating it. Which left...
The clever plan Queen Serenity had mentioned on the Moon.
Whatever came next, they probably didn't want to be standing in the middle of the field.
Turning to Totoro, Realta, Metis, and the other two, whose names she hadn't caught, she said, "I think we should move away from the middle of the field." Scanning around the field for a second, she noticed a gap nobody seemed to be filling, and pointed toward it. "I think we should head over there."
In the back of her mind, she logged the fact that Almadel was an alien. There would be time for questions about alien life another time. Science fiction wasn't her primary choice of literature, but it seemed like she was now in a science fantasy story, so she might look into a bit more science fiction at a later date. Once they survived tonight. They had to survive tonight. It was the only way to not lose her nerve in the face of an impossibly big snake that ate planets for breakfast.

Sailor Aberdonia of Papyrus Location: Moving to E10 Action: Moving to take up a defensive position near the spike-holder who's sort of a friend-of-a-friend, Murikabushi
Aberdonia didn't have a chance to hear a response from Tianyi before the storm hit in full force, three lightning strikes, the last nearly a double strike. The air warped painfully and airlessly around the congregation before dissipating, leaving them somewhere that had to be somewhere out in space. Translucent ground below, stormy skies on all sides, including below the ground, without any wind blowing about. The Senshi of Papyrus shivered.
The eye of a storm, like this one, should be safe, a place of calm in the middle of a sea of chaos. Aside from the metaphorical chaos of the Chaos agents surrounding the forces of Order, the air seemed like a level of chaos that even Chaos drew the line at. And he did not like it. Not at all.
He liked it even less when he saw a scale the size of a schoolbus whip past, part of an unspeakably large serpentine body.
Aberdonia stared in dawning horror. The pictures in the papyrus scrolls made sense. They hadn't gotten all the details right, between stylization and working from a verbal account, they could not have gotten things right, but the one thing they had indicated was the sheer insane size of what they were dealing with. However big the mouth was, if it couldn't unhinge its jaw to swallow even a large planet like Jupiter whole, it wouldn't be for lack of trying, and it would come awfully close to taking the planet in one gulp.
He did not want to be here. He wanted the Calamitous Hollow devouring everything and everyone he loved even less. He wouldn't let this thing devour his sister, he thought, standing straighter and tying his bag to his sash, unaware that his sister was moving toward another part of the field.
Turning to Tianyi, he said, "I don't know if you had any plans, and feel free to come with me if you have no other plans, but I think there's going to be some people we really should try to keep from dying. They're carrying spikes that should allow us to maybe trap the Calamitous Hollow. And I'm going to try to defend one of them," he added, bowing his head respectfully as he turned toward the group he'd last seen Aruna in, intending on helping defend her group of friends and companions. Even if he was mostly friendly with Aruna and Tempesti, and either completely unfamiliar or simply less so with the others.

Eternal Sailor Elsa Location: E5 Action: With Muri, Aruna, Tempesti, Daedalus, and Harmonia; telling Muri he intends to stay with him and making End of the World Choices (shanananana my oh my--)
This new space between spaces made Elsa gasp, quietly. He'd been teleported places by officers before, and this was like that, except infinitely worse, and for a moment, when they landed, he felt dizzy, shaking his head to reorient himself.
It did not, realistically, help.
Probably nothing would orient him properly in this strange storm, watching a monster of absolutely unfathomable size move behind the clouds.
Which meant it was time for Murikabushi to go do his part in all of this. His very risky part that might lead to a lot of attention from the giant serpent that was slithering across the sky, so great and terrible that its scales alone dwarfed them.
All at once, the thought that they--or that at least one of them--might not walk away from this crashed down on Elsa. The thought of so much wasted time--of how he hadn't even tried to express his feelings, how he had just....accepted that they were impossible.
"Muri," Elsa said, and then he rolled up on his toes, grabbed Muri's face, and pulled him down for a kiss.
A ridiculous, impulsive decision that might have very embarrassing consequences later, but right then, in that moment, he didn't care. It wasn't a long kiss--there wasn't time for that---but long enough, he hoped, to make his point.
"I'm with you to the end of the line," he said, and then he stepped back. "So let's put that spike where it goes and get ready to ******** this thing up."
Action: Leisurely walking to a comfortable space and observing new arrivals
Laurelite entered the realm of the Calamitous Hollow with a smile on her face.
She seemed comfortable, confident. Her shoulders were squared, but not with such rigidity that it looked forced. She was of small stature but great presence. Arriving with the others, she did not stay for long. From the first step into the cosmic spacescape, she was walking.
There hadn’t been a destination in mind, at first, but she found one.
Her steps were leisurely, as if she were taking a walk in the garden and not some awful between-space.
And then, she found her space.
Laurelite stopped, brushed out her dress, made herself comfortable, and faced the ever-growing army as they arrived and spread out.

Mara, Senshi of Manchineel Location: E5 seems like a fairly central spot... ish Action: Trying not to loose her s**t
Mara gapped at both of her cousins, her fingers digging into the velvet bag, before she snapped her mouth shut before hissing quietly, "That is not what I meant!" She quickly switched to French as their group kept getting larger and larger. "I meant telling her that you tried to ditch us while doing something stupid! I am not about to tell anyone in the family about this unless they are already a part of it. I'm not stupid!"
She muttered some rather unflattering words in French about the stupidity of the male mind and her cousins in particular as she shoved the bag's bracelet on and fumbled the pin onto her collar. She was quite pissed with the two men, much more so than afraid of what they were about to face.... that was quite likely a good thing. Especially considering the existential void that opened in front of them all before the wind, the suction, dragged her in, her heels providing no real purchase as she was shoved into the void by the wind. She hadn't even gotten the chance to really take in the figure of Queen Laurelite, who had joined them on the battle field.
Mara bit the inside of her mouth so hard she drew blood. Anything to keep from screaming like a little girl, and yet she couldn't help reaching out and gripping some of Beni's uniform in a vice like grip. She didn't even realize what she had latched on to, only that she was somehow attached to her older cousin. She didn't even let go when they landed in some strange cloud void, the storm raging around them and lighting keeping the entire space bright. At first she didn't see it but then she did, and she wished she hadn't. She really, really wished she hadn't.
((All for Prox except Beni and Diaboliete... hopefully i didnt miss anyone ))
She was sucked through into some other plane, and she squeezed her eyes shut against it, but nothing awful happened besides that. Not yet. The wind blew in her hair until it whipped a bit painfully against her face, but her hand was still in Abzu's.
As the arrived, some of the others ran off, with their weapons, to try to protect one of the other alien senshi. Pendour glanced towards the sky.
She caught a glimpse of a shimmering scale, nearly the size of the wall of a house. She never thought weapons did much to solve problems, but in this case, she thought that they would be particularly ineffective.
There were forces here bigger than what she was used to. She did not think that the snake was the only one.
"I want to see if there's anything here more than we can see," she said to Abzu, and then she was walking over towards the north end of the field of stars.
Whatever it was that had happened, Harmonia was left feeling like her entire body had been squeezed and pulled at the same time. It had been painful and unpleasant, but thankfully the only side effects of the journey seemed to be a residual ache that was rapidly easing.
Thankfully, it seemed she had arrived fairly close to the group she was it. She merely needed to squeeze past someone to re-join them.
She dipped her head. “To be fair I don’t know your name either since I've only seen you in passing before.” Destiny city was a large place but there were a lot of people who were powered, and running into them, even as just quick encounters, wasn't out of the realm of probability.
Her gaze shifted to include all of the others too. “I don’t know you’re either. Sorry. But yea, I am Harmonia. The senshi of Harmony. Uh. My magic sort of requires I be with some other people.” She pulled absently at a pink tipped blue curl. The young woman wasn’t fearful, just anxious considering the situation they were in.
“I’ll follow you. It’s better if people stick together right now I think since we don’t know what’s actually going on.” Not to mention that thing above them was HUGE.
Page 8Page 22 Location: H9 Action: Following Remarque to H9 with Laon.
Arawn could feel his heart pounding. He felt like he was being crushed by the air itself. The lightning crashed down around them, and he wrapped both arms around Laon to keep him close. He wasn’t going to lose him to the wind or vacuum of space. He didn’t know where they were being pulled to, but when he opened his eyes, he knew they were going to be fighting for their lives.
And they had to. What would the alternative be? Just sitting back and letting Earth be destroyed? What then?
They could see the monster they were supposed to be facing through the clouds. The size of the serpent made Arawn really wonder what chance they actually had against it. How could they fight something so big?
He heard Remarque say he would pick a spot. That they could come with him. So that’s what Arawn did. He knew he couldn’t protect Laon solely on his own. And he owed Remarque his life. He would fight beside them both for as long as they would have him. And as long as his memory lasted.
“It’ll be okay,” he repeated to Laon with a confident nod and squeeze of his hand. He didn’t know what he’d do if it was okay, so it had to be.
In the grand scheme of things, Magnus was just a small feline who had perched himself on the shoulders of his senshi. As it was, it was not the best of places to be when being sucked through a portal that let him feeling battered as well as completely separated from Niter upon arrival. Being at leg level meant, in the sea of people also being pulled to arrive in the weird, lighting-filled space, he could not decipher who was who easily. Not to mention, his tail almost got stepped on, twice in a matter of seconds of arrival.
So the feline made haste to find space for himself and hopefully find the team and Niter in the process.

Yddagen, Vanguard Cadet Location: moving to F3 Action: joining the other Velencians around Lyndin
The feeling was not altogether unlike the first time he'd been in zero gravity, but a considerable number of times less pleasant. Yddagen hit the ground–for a given definition of ground–spinning, desperately trying to keep his footing. It was then that he saw the Commodore and most of the gaggle of their people moving swiftly across the field. There was a purpose in the stride, and Yddagen–his complicated feelings on the Commodore aside–knew what he would have to do. On went the pin and bracelet, the berry in its bag tucked safely away in his belt, and Yddagen hurried to catch up.
Belatedly, he turned to Lysvi and Neryn. "I'm going to help!" They could come, or they could stay. Yddagen was the superior officer of neither one of them. But if Lyndin had a plan, then Yddagen felt it was in his best interest to see it succeed. He had overheard the promise that there weren't going to be any twists this time. Yddagen felt he owed the Commodore the chance to regain his trust. Cover him while he worked to get whatever it was set up? Yddagen offered cursory nods to the other Velencians there.
