Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pasiphae was more than willing to stick to Europa's direction, and she threw rubble as well, hoping that ultimately all of their efforts would pay off. She noted Naica's smile with another, brief one of her own. More people on the team was always good--she'd never turn away a friendly face or hand. With each passing moment, more of her energy returned.

She left Ganymede to aid Babylon so that she could answer Nyx. A small blush rose to her face at both of her friend's comments as she explained, "I guess... I just needed to believe I could be more helpful before I actually could be. But that's not important right now--what's important... is that we end this battle..."


[Attack #9 = 19]

The little senshi was knocked out of his path before he could reach him - ironic, that - but the Dark Mirror queen came for her own, and Alunite ultimately got what he wanted.

One hand rose to catch Gunn's fist. "Tsk." He grinned. He threw it back, freeing both hands for what was to come.

"Total Eclipse."

Point blank was the best kind.

The burning cloth hit him yet, and brown eyes narrowed at the male senshi. "Don't test your luck, or ill pull your damn starseed, crush it, then make your precious little friends eat it."

((Eternal Sailor Attack: Total Eclipse !
As before, Alunite calls out his attack, but this time moves his fingers to frame the hole on his forehead - his gaze focusing on one opponent. A small beam on energy shoots out of his forehead, very quick and hard to dodge. If the beam hits its target, it is then plunged into total darkness, as if suddenly dropped into the dark side of the moon. While they might feel like they were dropped somewhere strange and foreign, it is in reality only an illusion. The target is unable to see anything, and thus somewhat defenseless - also, while in the shadow of the eclipse, any positive energy attempt on the person (healing, another senshi attack) will fail. The attack lasts 20 seconds before it fades, and Alunite can only use it once a day unless he has consumed a starseed or energy. ))

Super Sailor Leto was a good soldier. She fought with intensity and honesty, and was more than willing to admit mistakes on the battlefield. In the humble beginnings of the rebirth of the Black Moon, the Senshi of Camouflage had been an asset. Ares wasn't about to let one of her assets get torn apart by two eternal senshi and some strange super.

If that meant bringing her excess of strength to their doorstep, Ares was prepared to do so... but only for so long. She had more energy teeming in her crystal. There were more dark parallels to rise from the rainbow road.

Still, it felt strange to be in these adversarial positions with her former friends, almost as strange as it had been when they ambushed her and stole her pen. "I could change you right now, Scylla," she said lowly. "It would take no time at all. But I will wait until you ask me to do it. Because, one day, you will." There was no more time for talking. The Senshi of the Kraken lashed out once more with her tentacles as Gunn moved to attack the corrupted eternal.

Unfortunately, an eternal attack alone was no match for a Princess. The bursting tentacles brought a scowl from Ares, but she cartwheeled out of their grasp without issue, gripping Leto by the wrist to ensure that the girl was similarly successful.

"This is a waste of time," she said.

There was a crack as Ares' torch split the pavement. "Ares Smoke Miasma," she hissed. Black, blinding smoke erupted from her torch. It was enough to knock out an unsuspecting civilian, plenty to bring a regular senshi to his or her knees. A super would be turned to burning eyes and coughing. More than a few breaths would result in something worse: hallucination, no oxygen to the brain. Eternals were better off, but no one who needed oxygen could sustain life on smoke. Allies, however, were unaffected.

Though the scope of this attack could normally fill a massive space, it stopped prematurely, only going about thirty feet in each direction. Ares used the opportunity to disappear. She had senshi to awaken.

((Rolling Babylon's attack.)

The cloud of locusts around Babylon's head had finally cleared, and in perfect time, too. The orders seemed to be to attack, so that was what Babylon did - first hurling rubble at the youma's massive flank, and then by turning to The Jovians and Naica and Nyx and holding up his lantern. "Anyone need help aiming?" he asked, eager to be helpful. "The lights of Babylon will never lead you astray."

(5-5=0)

Europa beamed at Pasiphae proudly. "I'm glad you're starting to believe in yourself as much as I believe in you," she told the girl, giving her arm a reassuring squeeze.

"And not a moment too soon," she nodded in agreement. There was already so much damage and casualties that any victory would be pyrrhic at best - but ever minute that the fight dragged on, the higher the senshi's chances of a total loss seemed to rise.

Celsus did not need the new page's whisper in his ear to understand that something was wrong - something was very wrong - with the girl named Felicia.

Nor did he need any hints as to who the woman with the staff and the wings was.

Ares, the Princess of the Dark Mirror Court.

Which meant only one thing - Felicia was now a senshi of the Dark Mirror Court - and Celsus' enemy.

"Get back," he told the page beside him, and pushed her and Felix gently, but forcefully behind him, looking at the pale haired young woman standing in front of him.

"So you're now one of her lackeys, are you?" Celsus said casually, offering the girl who had once been Felicia a calm smile. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I can't think of you as someone I need to protect anymore."

And with that he swung his arm back and aimed his fist towards her stomach.

Keren didn't know Cameron but he was still 100% human and that made him awesome in her book. Hitching up her shorts, she made a mad dash towards him. "Hey! Hey!" she cried, wrapping him in a totally uncalled for yet totally desperate hug. It was good to see someone, even if he was a complete stranger, who wasn't magic and rainbows or doom and darkness.

"Oh my god," gasped Keren. "Oh my god, oh my god, I am so glad I'm not the only one left, oh my god."

The force up and her grabbing him and tilting him the wrong way, and they both landed back down abruptly at an angle. For Wolframite, he landed on his side, and cringed at the impact. Whatever the bridge was made out of, it wasn't kind on the bones. Wincing, he also felt her hold on his body, and this close, there was a desperation between them to create a quick end for their opponent. Here, he knew an end that was fitting, and he shot his hand out for her chest. If she was going to grip something as useless as hair, he'd go for something much more valuable.
