Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Bat 4hp, Holi: Broken finger and bitten leg...and now a broken toe Getting your a** kicked by something you don't believe in: .... priceless.))

Slippers... evidently, even angry cat slippers, didn't work very well as foot protection against enraged bats, and Holi caught her breath in another cross between a sob and a scream as her foot bounced off the bat, doing more harm than good. The fluffy head of the angry cat seemed to pad the blow against the creature considerably more than it did for her, and with other one of those unholy little 'pops' a bone in her toe broke. This time she was rather familiar with the whole situation, having once dropped an heavy pot on her foot while carrying it to the stove, and she sobbed again between the bat and the futility of it all.

"Somebody help me PLEASE!" She cried, though she was sure no one would hear her, let alone be bothered to help. What did anyone care about a miserable thing like her? They were probably glad she was drawing the creatures attention.

In the ensuing chaos, Leo had only barely managed to catch a glimpse of his princess and his captain, but it was enough to assure him that they were still fighting. He would have made his way to them, but there were so many civilians about that he felt he needed to fight his way through the bats and save as many of the multi-colored people as possible... if he could. From where he was standing, he was filled with such a despair and hopelessness that he was certain he would never make it through the sea of bats and save anyone.

He was worthless as a Soldier. He was still exactly the same as he'd been as a senshi -- he --

Someone cried for help near him and he turned, desperately wanting to be of aid. She crashed into him, a petite young woman wearing as peculiar a shade of color as his own, and he wrapped an arm around her to shield her from the incoming bat.

It slammed into his shoulder, clawed feet digging in and cutting streaks in his clothing and skin alike. Blood blossomed and he hissed, further turning to gather the girl closer and shield her more; but the bat was up and flying away, apparently circling for another attack.

Looking down at the girl in his arms, he was struck by another wave of indescribable sadness. She wasn't Virgo, wasn't Elke. Not his girlfriend. "Are you all right? Stand behind me," he added, using gloved hands to urge her behind him as he prepared to face the bat once more.

Bat HP: 10

Her left arm was useless, worst then useless. Felicia had to struggle to sit up, and every movement she made jarred the injured shoulder further, sending shocks of stabbing pain throughout her shoulder and upper body. It was enough to have her whimpering, tears stinging at the corners of her eyes as she stared up in horror at the looming frame of the bat that was descending upon her. It was coming for her again, and she could do little else but crawl away from it as it swooped down at her.

She screamed as he opened it's mouth to screech at her. Hand slipping in her struggled retreat to send her sprawling flat against her back. Kicking her feet up at the beast's face as it lunged at her. Wedge heels connecting with a solid crunch against the thing's nose and sending it reeling backwards in mid air. Dipping as it shrieked and pawed at it's nose before spreading it's wings to soar up and away from her, circling over head.

Felicia was shocked. From the injury, the bat itself, and the fact that she'd actually managed to crush it's nose with the heel of her shoe. Maybe she couldn't use her hands against the thing, but her legs were working just dandy. The next time the beast dove at her she'd be ready.

((Bat HP: 2))

As blood leaked out of her nose, down over her lips and chin and finally onto her shirt to leave a really ugly stain ( though not that you could actually see it; it just happened to be a darker shade of red) Mary's rage grew. She could still breath, mostly, every second she spent looking at the damn thing made her angrier.

The bat, dazzed from running into her nose, fluttered closer to her, which was the wrong course of action. Mary grabbed it around the middle.

"The wraith of a thousand angry elistest will have nothing on what I will do to you, and then I will use you as a god damnned cape, you hear me, a god damned cape!" she yelled at it. She pulled herself onto her knees and began slamming the bat into the road with her entire strength.

"FOR THE DYNAST REALMS AND THE CLAN LEADEEEEEEEEEEER!" she screamed, banging the bat against the rainbow.

The bat could only take so much of this and on the fifth slam it shattered into dust. Mary blinked at the dust for a moment, before rage took over.

"I WAS SUPPOSED TO USE YOU AS A CAPE YOU SUNUVABEOTH!"

Color: Red
Bat HP: 0!
Mary: Broken Nose and Raaaaagin'

Raven ran at Jett still, then flung her arms around him, letting out a little cry as her fractured wrist hit his shoulder. "Oh, oh ow!"

The pain was fine! Just so she had him! Him always and forever in her arms! Oh the passion! Oh the wonder!

"Oh Jett! I love you! I love you, we should get married! We should get married and ride off into the sunset! We should be together always!"

Life was so wonderful! So completely beautiful!

She pulled away from the male just slightly, and for the second time in a very short while, locked lips with a boy. Though, this time it was with the boy she had really wanted to kiss in the first place.

Harmony woke up and the first thing she noticed was the very vivid pain she felt at her side. She rolled over with a groan of pain and felt along her side until she stumbled across the source of the pain, a few broken ribs, and screamed. She didn't remember when this happened. When she opened her eyes again and found the world bathed in color she assumed she was simply hallucinating from the pain.

Then she looked down and realized she was a bright shade of purple herself.

Normally something like this would be passed off as a bad dream and nothing more but the pain was preventing her from really buying into the dreamscape. Using logic, which admittedly she wasn't very good at, she had to determine this was real. And if it was real she had to deal with seriously creepy bats, broken ribs, and the fact that a rainbow seemed to have puked on every single person in the room.

She kinda wished for her camera. This would be an interesting shoot...

She forced herself to her knees, stiffling more cries of pain. She needed to get to someone else, ally up. She certainly didn't know how to fight alone and her selfish instinct told her to get someone to do the fighting for her. It was a solid strategy, never taking on more than she knew she could handle. She wanted to make sure she came out of this, whatever it was, alive.

When she got to her feet she noticed she felt good, alive, and wanted to hold onto that feeling no matter what the cost, even if it meant someone else taking the costs for her. She spotted a guy across the room...crying. But he appeared unhurt. She might be able to use that to her advantage. She walked over, putting her a brave but kind of pitiful face. The bats noticed her now that she was up and moving and were coming to do their worst.

"Please! Help me!"

Layton looked up at Felix dully. "I ... don't want to move. There's no point after all." She then looked back at the ground dully. It was odd, her speech lacked all of the usually timidity and varied tones; instead it was an odd sort of monotone filled with a rich pallet of boredom and listlessness.

Actually, Layton wanted to do nothing more than cry her eyes out over the pain in her hand, and then tell Felix not to kick her brother. Something within her ... made her staid. She was bored, and she didn't care about anything in the world. Some deep part of her was freaking out completely over her lack of care, but she couldn't do a single thing about it.

To his question, she simply said, "I think my hand is hurt. Oh well." As if she could less of a ********. As if she could care her brother was a crying, weeping, kicked mess.

She continued staring at the ground, and then in a sudden movement, stretched herself out and layed down on the rainbow road like it was a cushy bed. She just sat back and said, "Why don't you just sit down Felix? It's not like any of this matters."
