Honestly? Mönch kinda preferred the lightning to whatever had just arrived in the field. Letting Chillingham set her to rights, Mönch shook her head, then nodded, then shook her head again. "If he asks, we were totes at a movie, okay?"
Following after her friend, she decided that staying near some stronger, not-gross magical people would make things like, 5% less scary. And boy was she gonna take that 5%.

General Borax Location: A4 Action: Pulling Tincalconite through time and space with Amasis's permission, standing with Faustite
Where was his underling?
... Ah. Borax felt the energy in the air and tugged on it as he stood near to the fire whorls that called themself Faustite. To be honest, it had been a while since Borax had seen what Faustite could do. The last he remembered that fire form was back when they were working through the depths of the Rift...
Smart thinking to choose it at that moment, he agreed with Hestia. Borax nodded to Faustite and Hestia as he arrived and settled, hoping he wouldn't have to take his weaponry back out but knowing what he would do if he did.
Bifrost let out a gasp as the lightning tore open reality, and a second one when she was pulled through space into a between space inside the storm. Inside the storm. It took a moment to get her breath back, and in that moment, she saw the only part of the Calamitous Hallow she could even see.
A single scale, as large as a bus.
Cold hopelessness sank into her bones. They were all going to die here, they were all going to die and Earth would be eaten and it would be all for not. Several people started running with spikes - the ones mentioned in the database maybe - and a little warmth came back to her limbs.
There was still hope. There was always hope.
She turned and ran north, putting herself in the place she guessed the sixth spike should have gone. There was no way to become the final spike, but if she could even just channel a little of the electricity flowing around to assist, she'd damn well give it a try.
He expected a lot of things. He did not expect this. He probably should have. Siegfried glanced around, finding Celadon and Cybele just a little bit a way. He glanced at Ariccia, pressed against his side, and guided her over.
"We're here, where ever here is..." he said, glancing at the storm around them and the flickers of scale in the clouds. "Let's stick together as much as we can."
Ariccia, Page of Cybele Location: E5 Action: Staying with Cybele and co, hiding behind Siegfried
The whole teleportation thing made her scream, though no sound came out. Ariccia shook like a leaf and pressed herself against Siegfried's side. She had no idea where they were, no idea what to do, and no idea how to fix this or help or anything. The bracelet on her wrist only did so much to keep the terror at bay.
“He-Hekate…” she stammered, finding it difficult to lift her gaze to look him in the eyes.
Although she was far from what one would consider a damsel, she was most definitely in distress. Her normally uniform curls were now tousled from the high winds. She felt as if she had been thrown into a wind tunnel and almost preferred rolling the dice again to being in this mess.
But Arnica was a kind gentleman, helped her to her feet, and kept her steady as they passed through the rift into the in-between.
Hekate nodded dumbly when he asked if she was going to follow after Remarque, her gaze fixated on the velvet bag she clutched in her hand rather than where she was walking otherwise she might have a panic attack realizing they were walking on clouds. “I don’t know anything about who sent the gifts, or from where,” she tugged the drawstring to see what was inside since she didn’t know what was in it either. “Prince Remarque seemed familiar with who Almadel is, but he also sounded skeptical about what these might be used for.”
She hazarded a glance around the other Dark Mirror senshi, noting that most of them had put the pins on or had matching bracelets around their wrists so she at least fumbled with the pin a moment before putting the bracelet on. “I’m sorry, my clumsiness is not intentional. I’m the Senshi of Jinxes, but sometimes I wonder if it is because I am one,” she admitted quietly before stowing both the bag and berry, in her subspace pocket so her hands were free.

Captain Brassite location D2 action: the fangirling continues and I guess Helio's there too, I guess
Brassite had fully, absolutely intended to find and join up with her boss and squad. It's just that, well, someone had caught her attention by being really, really cool. Again.
"Wow! You could like, totally cut so many heads off with those!" The teen popped up near Hessonite once more, stars in her eyes and feet apparently just taking her wherever! Gosh! Weird how that happened!
"Have you taken off a lot of heads with them?" Bouncing on her toes, fists glinting with her summoned weapons, the agent was clearly wondering if one day she could like, well, maybe punch a head off? Was that even possible?
Was she going to see General Queen Hessonite stab a giant thunder snake in the eye?
Oh and there was some guy there too. One of Faustite's pretty boys, so not even dateable. But like, she supposed she could protect Mister Purple, as like, a bro favor for a bro.
Shooting a wink and a fingergun at the senshi, she said, "Don't worry, I gotcha!"
The lightning was the first sign that it was starting. But he barely had any time to take that in before two more strikes, each ear-deafening and suddenly it was if he was being pulled into a wind tunnel, unable to breath for the precious few seconds that the transportation took.
When it finally all stopped Drombeg fell to his knees, attempting to catch his breath as he was finally allowed oxygen in... wherever they were. This was a place he had never seen before.
The storm seemed to have followed them, or did it originate from here? He couldn't tell, but there was something big moving within the sky. A dragon? No, a snake. Drombeg got up by himself and couldn't help but be fasicnated by it. It was dangerous yes, but the Queen seemed more-so. Still, they would have to fight it and defeat it. He readied his sword, as much good as it would do, but perhaps it would be useful still.
He wondered if they could get on top of it somehow and find a weakpoint that way.
Dejanira did not enjoy the feeling of the travel in this teleport. She expected no one that was on this battlefield had enjoyed it unless they were a masacist. She figured there were some here; she had no doubt both sides had their crazy members after all. She arrived and looked around they seemed to be in the storm itself, and then she caught sight of the giant creature. She frowned it was huge. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. There were a lot of people here ready to fight for the fate of the world. She headed in a direction and she wished she had picked a different spot, but she felt she should stay anyway. She looked at Queen Laurelite and Princess Ganymede. Well they were heavy hitters, so Dejanira supposed that was good at least as long as they didn't try to kill each other. Dejanira noticed the earth knight she smiled and went over to him. "Hi I'm Dejanira." She said by way of greeting.

Sailor Tempesti Location: E10 Action: Accompanying her group to Muri's spike location
In some dim recess of her mind Tempesti knew that she should be terrified, that every nerve in her body should be screaming at her to run for whatever safety was left to find in this galaxy, but as she looked up at the sea of white scales she felt nothing outside of her duty. There was something liberating, almost comforting in staring down this undeniable proof of her own insignificance.
Maybe she couldn’t be a major factor in whatever came next, maybe her role was simply to be cannon fodder while more powerful people made their moves. The thought of her own survival was a problem for later, irrelevant to whatever ultimate cosmic scheme placed them here. With this in mind, she resolutely followed the others toward what was to come.
It wasn't until he heard someone talking to him that he took his eyes off of their target and noticed an Eternal had wandered over to where he was. He nodded. "Drombeg, of Earth." Well, it seemed he wasn't alone for the moment.
"You get through the uh, trip okay?" He asked, wanting to make sure that Dejanira was ready to fight. If not he was here to help, if she was, well he was still here to help however he could.

Character Name, Rank, and a link to their journalSilistra Knight of Saturn Location: G8 Action: Moving to G8
Silistra was used to being uncomfortable since that was they way her power was designed still the feeling of that teleport was the worst she had ever felt before and she dealt with pain any time she healed someone. She frowned when they arrived and she looked up at the storm all around them well this wasn't good. She made her way to a group of people that had a chibi with them. Chibis on the battlefield made her nervous but at least she was here to help if something went wrong and she was pretty confident that were in for trouble.
Dejanira sighed "Well I wish this were a more pleasant place to meet you considering if we fail I don't think Earth stands a chance." She said softly considering it was his wonder she didn't want to be heartless talking about his home world being destroyed. "As well as can be expected, that teleport was brutal." She smiled "I'm the Eternal Senshi of Raspberries." She said, smirking since she hadn't given her title before.

Knight Halle of Lysithea location: E8 actions: Gathering up with the group group: Santa Maria Novella, Spasskaya, Lisse, Halle, Almere, Mechelen, Tikal
"The more the better, honestly," Halle greeted the Ganymede squire with a smile. And he'd be glad to see Santa Maria with more connections to other Ganymede Knights. Maybe they could get him to explore outside of the hat shop. Anything further to say was drowned out in the blindingly powerful lightning strikes. More devastating than anything they'd see so far.
In a whole different space, standing on fake ground, Halle was briefly reminded of that place that showed up one October. Unfortunately this likely wouldn't be so benign, but it did mean that the fighting wouldn't take place in Destiny City. Their mom would be safe, for the time being.
"Well, it got real weird, real fast," he said, joining with the others he saw nearby. The body that those scales belonged to were so immense, it was hard to comprehend how large the whole of it was.
There was nothing cool about the way everyone seemed to have been sucked into an inter-dimensional rift. The sensations that Lacerta experienced in that short volume of time had her reeling when, blessedly, at last everyone seemed to have been spit back out. The redhead's breathing began to slow even as she quested over parts of her body to ensure that everything was where it needed to be. Everything seemed fine on the outside but inside was a different matter. She felt bruised all over and now it seemed as if her body was protesting this rough treatment.
Wincing as the first signals of an impending headache heralded its arrival did Lacerta look up at the "sky" just in time to see the flash of a very large scale before she began to fast track it after Remarque and the rest of the senshi that belonged to the Dark Mirror court. She wasn't feeling overly confident now if a plan didn't come together to defeat this thing but maybe the negativity was a response to the pounding sensation in her head.
"Wow you're really ********' stupid, huh?" Grieve laughed laughed and slapped him on the back, wrapping a steely arm over his shoulders. "Well, guess what? There's a bunch of ********' princesses around, and all you gotta do is ask one to undo your ******** and you can live!"
Unfortunately, Grieve's singular attempt at getting a negaverse agent to purify was met with a thunder tribulation and ******** them all off to wherever.
"Aw man, I ********' hate boring a** dimensions. At least give us a big ********' castle to go with your big ********' snake." Giving Hy-Brasil a pout that was nowhere near as pathetic as she intended, she answered, "Just some ******** whereverland. Probably not the snake's doing though. Probably it's meant to give us a more level ********' playing field without the wholeass city falling down on us."

Corporal Neryn Location: B9 Action: Moving with Lysvi to B9 (with Sei's permission), telling Yddagen good luck
Neryn picked themself up off the floor, if you could call it that. It wasn't a floor so much as it was... space? Stars and voids, they were in the eye of the Hallow's storm. Put them closer to it, at least. They looked at the singular white scale in the sky and frowned. A thing that size would be hard to get through, even with their energy weapons. The scales alone would be several inches thick, if not a foot or more, otherwise they'd all tear whenever it moved.
They hoped the spikes would work.
"Good luck, Yddagen and stay safe," they said to their fellow Vanguardian as he ran to join the rest of the Vanguard. Neryn looked at Lysvi and pointed at the other side of the space. "We can set up there; if we're close to edges we should have a better chance of hitting the damn thing. I want no part of whatever the Commodore is setting up."
Then they hefted their boltcaster in their hands and set off.

Andronicus, Knight of Uranus Location: H1 Action: Getting out of the center of the space, bringing Ashur with her (with Pao's permission)
She knew something was going to happen when the pressure got almost stifling. Reality tore with the second and third strikes and Andronicus felt herself being ripped through time and space. It hurt far more than any other time she'd been pulled off Earth, maybe because it was against her will. The storm churned around them, flashes of scales here or there.
"Let's get out of the middle," she said to Ashur, moving towards one of the corners of the space. She eyed the group of Velencyans as they past, trying to not let the worry at seeing Lyndin setting something up show on her face. Whatever it was, she only hoped it helped and wasn't going to some how backfire or sacrifice a bunch of people again.
... You know, wind magic probably wasn't going to be useful against a giant snake that can summon storms...

Captain Leifite Location: A7 Action: Sticking with Ashanite and co
Well, out of all the ways she'd been teleported to and from over the years, this was certainly the weirdest and the worst. Good grief. Such man handling from the giant world ending snake. She was a dignified lady thank you!
She kept up with Andesine and Ashanite, waiting further orders and helping to protect the spike.
