What if he... Amethyst didn't so much as think this time round, his hand already working on shaping yet another slightly larger ball of precious energy as ceruleans glanced around him to ensure that the coast was clear and none of the senshis and knights were about to come and stop him from his experimenting.
If he knew just how much he could safely get from one person alone, he wouldn't have such a huge problem with the quota in future anymore. Yeah, that in fact sounded just about right in his mind.

It was a relief as Luxor landed in her arms, and Polaris thanked her stars that she'd not only succeeded but had also not tumbled to the ground under his weight and mass. Good old powered super strength. She gave him a short smile and nod as he stepped down, however their wasn't time for introductions. He, understandably, charged off towards an opponent of his own, and she spinned, focusing in on the high pitched and young voice somewhere nearby.
Her motherly instincts throbbing, she scanned and scanned until she finally found the little girl hiding in the bleachers oh so close to the agents that were quite aggressively attacking anyone they could grab.
"Don't let them near you!" She called out to the little girl, whether she would notice or not. The very idea of watching a child have her heart and soul torn out of her chest was enough to make Polaris sick. Lowering her shoulder to try and push through anything and everything in her way she ran towards the little girl, until a tight pressure squeezed her waist and sent her flying suddenly backwards and upperwards.
Her booted feet kicked in surprise, fear, and indignance as she was hoisted, her arms lashing out to try and beat the tentacles squeezing around her.
((First roll - 10 Second roll - 7 - captured! *snickers* Who knew this image would actually have relevance at some point XD ))
While it wasn't particularly effective at dusting the Youma, the grab-end-and-peel technique seemed really effective for getting people out of the bad nightmare tentacle place in the air. Effective enough that it was worth a go to help what looked like another really fancy, probably powerful sailor that was kicking her legs as she was hoisted up in the air.
He took a moment, leapt up and wrapped an arm around her neck to keep a hold and level with her and started unwrapping, "Sorry for getting familiar! I'll have you out in a second."
It took a few second and then they were both dropped. Since he already had her, he did his best to catch her and keep his footing and set her neatly on hers, "Your freedom, Miss."

Ashleigh hadn't heard the white haired senshi calling to her nor had she seen the other snatched up off the ground. She been snatched up to and quickly regressed from in mental age from 10 to 5. Terror was coursing through her veins, tears flowing free down her cheeks and her small fist were pounding away at the tentacle before she began clawing at the creature, trying to pry her way to freedom.
It worked, the next minute she found herself free falling before she hit the center ring with a yelp. Pain rippled through her ankle, making more tears stream down her face, as she climbed to her feet and proceeded to quickly, as quickly as she could, limp away.
She never wanted to go to the circus or the carnival ever again. "Mom," she called out softly, "please be okay."

The Captain was about to hop off of his pedestal and give up the game of ringleader, but it seemed that the youma was kind enough to ensnarl another victim close to him. How convenient! Perhaps these youma were more useful than he once thought!
"Thank you, kind sir... or madam... I'm not willing to check on your skirt," Buddingtonite said with a shrug, and he took the moment to seize his energy. He knew he was given the opportunity to collect starseeds, but the one he had was enough, and besides, this victim had a hand loose and like hell Buddingtonite was going to risk getting socked in the face. Energy would do just nicely.
As he pulled the energy and his hand away, he spotted the little girl again, and he gave a shout. "Oh, will ONE of your blithering ninnies grab that child and just go before she gets hurt? I'm growing tired of her cries!"
Especially if that Eternal, the one with a serious guardian complex, was nearby. Like hell he wanted to invoke his wrath ever again.

She hadn't even been hoisted very high when she suddenly felt pressure pulling her in the opposite direction, and her eyes turned immediately to the source. Another senshi? Polaris attempted to reign in her struggling and squirming as he worked on freeing her, not wanting to kick him while he was helping her.
"Thank you!" She smiled to the gentlemen menshi when her boots finally touched the ground again. "This is so crazy, I hope that we get some back up. Surely an aura of Chaos this big has got to be noticeable even from a distance."
It seemed as if she was too busy talking however, before as she swiped at a tentacle, another large one slapped her behind the knees, wrapping around them and quickly hoisting her into the air once more.
How embarrassing was that!? Dangling upside down, the senshi of magnetism called out to the senshi that had just saved her a moment before. "Watch out alright. Collateral damage."
"Magnetic field!" It was her weakest power, but sometimes the chaos of it did a better job then the more powerful and controlled ones she had in her arsenal. As she spoke the words, small metal objects all over the area began to shoot at the many flailing tentacles, before raining back down towards the ground. Whoops...
((First roll - 10 Second roll - 7 - captured! Freed by Thraen! heart Third roll - 7 - captured again! You suck Polaris xp ))
And it seemed that Buddingtonite would pay the price for his showboating and desire to take the center stage when something large and metal, and very heavy, hit him in the back and sent him tumbling over with a incoherent groan.
How embarrassing!

I hope you don't mind he got hit with the crossfire. Given he terribad roll, I think he earned it. XD Let me know if I need to change anything.

Getting pelted with metal bits probably did not make the youma very happy, as the tentacle holding her had began to wiggle and sway in what she could only assume with anger or pain. Using it to her advantage Polaris swung the best she could from her upside down position, attempting to hit the nearest tentacle with her fists.
All the wriggling must have done it's job because Polaris' knees and legs slipped from the tentacle restraining them, falling uncermoniously towards the ground. The senshi manged to right herself enough that she landed on her butt instead of her head, grimacing nonetheless from the unpleasant thud.
Standing up, she brushed herself quickly off before taking the defensive again.
((First roll - 10 Second roll - 7 - captured! Freed by Thraen! heart Third roll - 7 - captured again! You suck Polaris xp Fourth roll - 10 - FREEEE
@ Gingi - Of course biggrin Anyone is free to use her mess if they want to.))
Was she a yoyo? Polaris was beginning to feel that way. She had only just readjusted to being upright again when that familiar tightening happened again, this time grasping roughly around her shoulders.
Higher, higher, and higher she was yanked, with the tentacle seeming to shake her like a maraca, her arms bound downward by the positioning. It seemed to know who she was with the tightness and violence. Maybe it had eyes hidden up there somewhere.
Again she began to kick, hoping her thick soled boots would do some kind of a damage. Ughhh it hurt, but she was more annoyed then anything. Annoyed and incredibly unlucky. She wondered for a brief moment if she could dust this youma with her tiara, it seemed awfully big. Not to mention you know.. not being able to use her arms.
((First roll - 10 Second roll - 7 - captured! Freed by Thraen! heart Third roll - 7 - captured again! You suck Polaris xp Fourth roll - 10 - FREEEE Fifth roll - 7 - I swear to god Polaris... :[ ))
One day Sailor Corvus would learn not to nag or mock the evil creature whose hold she was currently in. She very much did not like to play the part of the damsel in distress, but the tentacles were curling ever tighter around her, this time causing actual pain.
If she could just get her hands free... She might be able to do something about it, but the youma had an even stronger hold on her now and there seemed to be no way out of it.
Roll 1: 10 (Badass McBadass) Roll 2: 3 (Tentacl'd) Roll 3: 7 (Times 2)
This youma needed to go DOWN if they were ever going to be able to target and run off the Negaverse, who she was starting to fear might have been the group she should have targeted in the first place. From above she could see the group of them running havoc in the stands below.
A few more kicks and twists and finally Polaris landed another one, one hard enough that the youma released her once more. The senshi grimaced at the slight pain that stung through her knees from the force as she landed, but she didn't wait, bolting towards the bleachers. Maybe she could get far enough away from the tentacled youma to avoid getting snagged again.

"Shut up!"
Luxor yelled sharply, and not just because he did not know what that word meant. He growled and charged at the Lieutenant, seeing that he had landed a good blow, though he couldn't throw as much of himself into this tackle as he had before. Still, he was willing to try, and he charged shoulder first, bringing the metal pipe with him but not using it.
He at least knew there was a weakness opening up on his opponent now: the sound of that hit must have done some damage.
He knew there were others here, more than just this one lone Lieutenant, but maybe if he could take one down he could take the others out: he wasn't thinking straight through his anger.

Lt. Titan
This one was in a rage, no doubt about that. Titan, shifting, bringing up his hands to just grab and hold the very angy skirted man that was charging him at arm's length. Thankfully his own arms were fairly long. He still tried to remove energy from the other in contact.
But he could feel the collar bone grinding- this wouldn't work for long. So he shifted step and Luxor's forward momentum carry him past a few steps. Titan turned so that the man wasn't behind him. It was admirable how this one was juts sticking to it, getting up in his space and keeping him from duty. Plain he did not command the same respect from his enemy, talk being shoved aside. That was fine. It was less breath to waste, maybe, before they broke each other.

Sailor Thraen
He'd felt good, having gotten the booted-girl freed, had been about to try to do the same with another dangling unfortunate. Setting his eyes on a target, he wasn't looking or keeping close enough attention on the fact that there were still plenty of unoccupied shadow wrigglers and his right arm was suddenly well wrapped and he was hauled up by it with a yelp.
He remembered a short animation about killer balloons lifting and dropping kids, and felt sudden kinship with little Billy and that uncertain, traumatized look on the stick boy's face.

"Ha!" She felt the youma's coils loosen around her just enough for her to gain the ability to bring her hands together, letting a dark, angry ball of energy form between her fingertips. "Revenge!" She loosed one of her base attacks at the youma, dusting the tendrils that had grasped her so that she could drop to the ground.
A grin touched her lips as she caught sight of Polaris; a familiar face from some of the other great battles, even if it had been some time and even if she couldn't quite recall ever having met the other Eternal face to face.
"Think we'll have better luck against these goons if we team up?"
