Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pity? The lean forward was entirely unnecessary, too many purposes to it transparent. Her cane came to hand, ready to be brought across Quartz's fetching backside for the delay- but voice she knew was near and in struggles.

The general looked aside to see Cinnabar grappling a senshi, and much more worn than the start of the fray. Too much wobble there. It was expected of any of them, but stepping in was a better us of time than horsewhipping the greenhorn. Quartz would learn better on other examples, after other tasks hardened him. This was still his first battle, and chastisement after praise would be too fickle.

No lion of mine stands wholly alone while I still stand myself. Schörl sprung to their sides in a short dash and brought the whipping end across the back of the seafoam and cream senshi. Let the red open from you.

"We hunt in prides, watch your back."


General Schörl - First Floor - HP: 26
(( Barbary - First Floor - HP: 30 ))

General Benitoite HP: 40/40

He had left the first floor ballroom, made his way up to the second floor one to see how things were going there. He didn't join in on things, preferring to watch, as if some ever watchful General studying what others did and passing silent judgment upon others. But in reality he was making sure he didn't see any abuses against any children, or see any children in need of comfort or sanctuary. Seeing things were well, or as well as could be, up there he headed back down to the first floor. Coat and cape sweeping out behind him like some flapping banner.

Entering the first floor ballroom it didn't take long for him to notice a very familiar figure and his stomach sunk down...down...down and if it could have left his body and hit he floor it surely would have. The all too familiar figure of Acrucis was there and she was getting hit in the head with some...wooden toy sword. His own weapon had vanished at some point in the evening, during his sweeping of the second floor ballroom, which was a good thing as he made his way onto the scene.

Small, petite even, and yet with a dark and foreboding aura of darkness and chaos the darkly dressed General approached Aquamarine and the fallen senshi, ignoring anyone else who was on the scene for the moment. "I see, you've managed to down a senshi - good." Though it wasn't good. he didn't like seeing her like this, almost wanted to grab her and teleport off with her to someplace safe where he could wait for her to regain consciousness before yelling at her. He wouldn't be angry with her, how could he be? It would be more out of fright for what fate he'd have rescued her from. he was not stupid. They weren't killing and injuring here, or rather the injuries were minor, they were capturing and that surely wasn't a good thing - worse than death he was willing to bet. Instead though he had to look down at the unconscious senshi and hold firmly onto his feelings, keep them close and guarded.

"See to it that nothing else happens to her, we are not to injury them more than necessary. There are other things in store for them." he knew that even if he was unaware of the full extent of things, and he was sure he didn't want to know the full extent of these plans. If he knew than he knew he would have a very real struggle with himself right now. "If you need someone to teleport you and her down to the citadel let me know. I will provide the transportation."

Before Albert had a chance to process that his daughter was being held hostage, let alone react, she was being picked up and thrown through a window. Forgetting everything - the fighting going on around him, the nearby Negaverse and Senshi, the panicked civilians, everything - his world narrowed down to the girl in a dark gown being hurtled through a window.

He didn't even think about it before powering up and jumping through the windows after her, hoping and praying that he would be able to prevent further injury to his daughter. Sure, they were only on the first floor, but his baby girl was only a civilian and this whole party had been one massive drain on everyone.

Kells knew he should have never let her leave the house! From now on she was getting escorted/i] to classes.

Just in case since he's in the vicinity of Quartz, etc, (AND EMILY IS HIS BABY HOW DARE YOU HURT HIS BABY)

Sailor Amphitrite - 0 HP - CAPTURED

When they went down, that strange surge of adrenaline surged in her again. Right up until she felt a twist of movement beneath her and before she knew it, Amphitrite had taken a hit to the stomach that left her seeing stars. Nothing but a rush of hot air left her lips, too winded to cry out even as she was tossed aside like old trash. She rolled onto her stomach, and that was about all she could do.

Everything about her midsection ached. She found herself coughing, hacking, struggling for air, clawing the ground with her gloved fingers as she tried to pull herself together. It couldn't go this wrong this fast. She wouldn't let it. She was determined, so determined so make a difference this time.

Then a sound of footsteps echoed, fast and fleeting, and a lance of white-hot pain surged up and down her back -- and this time, she managed to scream before she fell to the ground, darkness engulfing her. But not fast enough that she couldn't comprehend that she had failed... and for a touch of fear to seep its way past agony before she knew nothing at all.

Corerupted Sailor Valeria HP: 40/40

Valeria had not been expecting to see a senshi so close to her and yet there she was. She looked like some sort of snow or ice princess, she wouldn't use the term queen to describe her, but it was certainly good clothing for cold weather. She was sure this one she could take on and capture and make someone, she wasn't sure who, proud of her. It was be a good way to show her loyalty and dedication cause nothing spoke more than action and bringing in a senshi was a very good action to accomplish - she was sure of this.

It was with little hesitation that the senshi of brains turned fully to face the senshi and launched her first attack upon the unsuspecting senshi. Pressing middle and index fingers to her forehead she called out her attack. "Mind pause!" And upon flicking her fingers toward the senshi she watched as a dark pink orb of light shot toward the senshi.

Cinnabar gathered herself, ready to take on the senshi with what was left of her strength... but a flash of olive and ivory stopped her short.

The cavalry is here. She thought as a smile sprang to her lips, too wide and too toothy. Having someone come to her aid... it was not a sensation she was used to, nor something she expected to happen. It gave her a strange warmth.

Watching the girl crumple was pure satisfaction and the captain straightened up slowly, eyes sweeping the room to make sure no one else was looking to offer her another surprise attack. There was a hitch to her stride as she made her way closer to Schörl, but she covered it well.

"I might be tapped out... but we've got a decent haul between the two of us, I think." She said as she stood at the blonde's shoulder. "If you want to continue the fun, by all means. I can make sure the delectables make it into safe keeping."

The General looked only a little worn for her efforts... she might be able to take down another of the senshi the orders called for if she wanted to. Stooping, Cinnabar hefted the girl up under an arm, grunting as she straightened and settled her on a rounded hip. Her weight was little, but Cin's ankle protested the activity.

It was at that point, OF COURSE, that the chibi she'd thrown early finally managed a return volley and Cinnabar felt another of those ******** apples drop on her head. She snarled as she hunched her head between her shoulders, turning furious eyes towards where the child cried into the chest of the civilian she'd been thrown ******** kids.

Half-Youma Captain Cinnabar - Front doors - HP: 5

Megrez did not feel her feet hit the ground as she sped towards the second ballroom, and the sight that was waiting for her could have made her heart stop. There was Penthesilea, lying limp in the Corrupt's arms. No, no, how could this have happened? She can't be dead, can she? No, no, I won't let her be taken from me again! I won't let anyone take her again! A searing, explosive anger surged within her, and it burst out of her at once. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER! I'LL KILL YOU, YOU PIECE OF s**t!" she shrieked at an absurdly loud volume as she lunged to tackle the Corrupt to the ground. She would tear the demon to bits, set her on fire, stomp on the ashes!

Megrez - Outside ballroom 2, HP: 20

"I would hate to see the cleaning and repair bill for the hotel if it is." Jasper responded to what appeared to be the older man of the pair. All the while, he was struggling to hold the feline in his hands as it wiggled and fought. "Cat, if you cut me, I will drop you in a not so gentle..."

And then the cat started to cry a most human of cries. Jasper would not have even dreamed to believe it had the male with the cane not pointed it out. Purple eyes widened and he looked from feline to the other males. They heard this too right?

No words passed his lips when they came from the cat instead. Jasper, out of shock, fear, and surprise, dropped the fur ball straight down and backed up towards the wall. "It.....It TALKED?!?!" He nearly screamed out as his face almost turned white enough to match his hair..

"You both hear this right? I'm not losing it any more than this night has caused? That thing spoke?" His voice carried the panic he felt as he looked from the cat to the men and back to the cat.




----------------------------------------------------

Following the woman in pink and white, Phact's own eyes were scanning the room. The senshi, for once, appeared to be holding their own. It almost impressed her....almost.

But that all changed when two new auras caused her hair to stand on end and her skin to crawl. Looking towards the doors, Phact saw the cause. Two generals...two generals and one appeared to not being following the pattern of 'capture not kill' she had noticed all other agents doing. "Sometimes I wonder how crazy their leaders really are...." Phact shivered, not catching at first that her partner in this was frozen. At least not until she too heard someone call Sidouer's name.

Glancing in the direction of the source, Phact's eyes narrowed. The wings told her enough: an eternal corrupt.

Listening to the exchange, Phact did not move until the corrupt started to step towards them. It was then she made her move to step between Sidouer and the woman.

"Sidouer, get a grip on yourself. She stands there on their side, fighting with them. Maybe she didn't want death but she sure isn't helping to stop it. Of course she will say what you want to hear." Phact shot a look over her shoulder at the woman she stood in front of. The facial expressions of both women told her there was history here. History she did not know.

But that mattered not at this moment. Had this not been a war zone, thank you generals, Phact would have been more than happy to let the women talk. It was what she perfered. But now was not the time. "If she's really sorry, then you two can talk it out at another time. Right now, you and I have a job to do and it isn't crying over whatever this woman did to betray your trust." The eternal's words had made it clear that she had hurt Sidouer deeply. Phact hated playing on that but she didn't have time to be nice. "If she really cared about you, would she have done that?"

Oh yes, she have expected Sidouer to smack her now.
