For a moment he feared he would be zapped next, he really didn't care to wind up like Cinnabar, and as he lay there on top of Valhalla he managed to find his voice and quickly spoke in a whisper. "The call to be here came from General Queen Luralite...a mass call to all officers. You need to not be here. I don't know why we are here but I doubt it's good for the knight." He spoke as he pushed himself up and stared down at the knight. "I can't fight you, either of you, but I can't back down in front of Cinnabar." he'd be at risk of being questioned by her and he didn't need that.
"You should run though, into the woods, I don't trust why the General Queen is here." Why should he? She was a General Queen and was getting involved in something like this - no he had an idea of why she wanted this knight and why she was here. Did they know why though? Did they think the same way he did?
Bringing his weapon up and close he pointed the tip at the other, to continue with his act. "Run..." He whispered one more. He wished Ganymede would also but she was stubborn as a mule as far as he was concerned, he could only hope she'd follow Valhalla if he ran. This was a hopeless cause to try and protect this knight; a General Queen was involved.

Amphitrite is in D4 with: Ganymede, Valhalla, Cinnabar, and Benitoite!
Out of the corner of her vision, Amphitrite couldn't help but notice that the knight commanded his thunderbird not to attack when Benitoite tackled him. There was more whispering than fighting. But her mind was on other priorities, now - the senshi was attacking Cinnabar for a second time, and to be honest if she had to pick between the two, Cinnabar was hands down her priority. She didn't cry out this time, but worried her lower lip between her teeth as she took action.
There was nothing she could do to stop the attack - the words had already been uttered - but Amphitrite took a chance and moved to attack the senshi who danced at the fringes of her memories, creeping around behind her to try and aim her shell-laden blow at the back of her head.
This was just getting out of hand. Things were happening all over the place, squabbles and fights breaking out all around them…chaos was truly afoot. For now, however, it seemed that Whisler really had to do something or that squire was going to be killed.
There was a senshi and a knight trying to do something with the captain who was holding the squire underwater, but it didn’t seem like they were getting much done, or maybe the captain just was made of stronger stuff and didn’t care…or maybe he was just so focused on corrupting the squire that he didn’t care…
Either way it was time for him to act and get the captain as far away as he possibly could.
The knight drew in a breath and removed his weapon from his waist, beginning to swing it slowly around, channeling his magic through it. “I did ask you somewhat nicely to get away from him, and you refused, so you’ve left me no choice!”
The magic was pushing at anyone who was infected with chaos, keeping them at least fifteen feet from him, not too far, but it would keep the captain far enough from the squire so the squire could stop dying…because that was very important.

Sailor Mira Is in F3. Feel free to engage.
Why the one time in her life she needed not to get lost - she did. Finally Mira reached the area where she needed to be. She took a breather just for a moment to catch her breath. Since she was running so fast around so many different streets and alleys just to get here. It felt like she had been running for miles.
Since she received the call right when she had began her patrol. The only issue was she didn't know this area so she didn't know how to get here. Now that she was finally here she ran down the sidewalk towards where the meetup. "I've made it," she whispered under her breath. As she looked around she noticed all the trees and bushes, this place was beautiful if only it wasn't being used for this purpose.
Sailor Osiris Is in D1. Feel free to engage. Osiris had just finished his last college class of the day and was finally able to come and answer the call he had heard. Since from the sound of it, it sounded like someone needed help and the negaverse - well he would see what they needed when he got there.
He knew as well as anyone else who was answering the call that it would be insane, since neither side every really wanted to lose someone. Especially not to their enemy it's the way sides worked at least in this battle.
As he ran, he finally entered the area where the meet was taking place. He just hoped while he was late he hadn't missed the whole event.
Naos had honestly not meant to come, he hadn't been transformed for several months now after all, but when he heard the voices, and saw a familiar looking style of clothing, he couldn't help but transform and follow ,he was still unsure of making contact with too many senshi and those knights, but as he looked around from his hiding place, to the scene before him and the chaos that was unfolding, he knew he couldn't ever really quit. He ran forward, away from his hiding place near the trees and, while avoiding the center of the action, stayed on the sides, looking for others who might need his help.

Athene and Liryn are is in grid A6, heading in the direction of C4 via B5. Feel free to engage.
This is Ploutonion Squire of Saturn...
The message had come pinging through on his phone, the masculine voice sounding panicked.
I'm by the fountain in Central Park, and...there's a General-Queen
Athene was already turning at the words and reaching down to scoop up his patrol partner for the evening - his small and rather fluffy patrol partner - the unknown Squire unknowingly sparking a sense of déjà vu with his words.
"I'm heading to Central Park" he told Liryn softly as he let the small mauvian scramble up and onto his shoulder, the Squire's call for help reminding him of another call for help - one that had gone horribly, terribly wrong. He would do his part to make sure that this time round would be different.
It was on that thought and with Liryn settled a-shoulder that Athene turned and shifted his pace from brisk walk to flat out run in attempt to make it over to Central Park as quickly as he could.
But even with his pushing his pace, things were well under way by the time that he finally reached the park, auras of varying strengths pinging on his radar.
Like Athene Liryn had heard the message as the unknown Squire's voice came out of Athene's phone and it had taken only a few moments for him to wriggle into place on the dark-haired eternal's shoulder and settle before Athene had taken off at a run.
He was well used by now to catching rides a-shoulder and so was able to hold on without much difficulty, but even with Eternal speed (courtesy of Athene), it still took longer than he would have liked for them to reach the park.
The auras pinged on his senses, Order and Chaos both, the auras of varying strengths. Liryn was on the look out for a specific sort of aura though.
Because Ploutonian had called himself a Squire of Saturn and that meant that his aura would be like Luxor's.
Finally they reached the park, entering close to a path winding towards the right, although Athene ignored them in favour of heading off path and towards the gap between two trees.
There was a page close by, and for a few moments it looked as though he was going to be the victim to the Captain’s attack. But before Oberon could even open his mouth to try and warn the other, the officer disappeared.
Only to appear close to him.
Oberon’s eyes widened in surprise as the Captain called over to the page. There was no way he was going to be able to stop him from being knocked over, but there was something he could do to hinder the Captain. “Adventure beckons!” Oberon shouted, holding out his hands to shove against the older man when he ran into him. Sure enough Oberon was knocked to the ground, but the Captain should be soon feeling his magic’s affects.
Adventure Beckons!
Lasts for thirty seconds and causes whoever is tagged gets a morale boost to be more adventurous. The bigger the boost, the more stupid, reckless things those affected might be encouraged to do.
Torvil
Oberon’s 5’4” now! No longer super tiny. Yay!

Falias is in grid D1 in vicinity of Osiris and Etamin and heading in the direction of D3. Feel free to engage.
Falias had been out on patrol when the message had come through on his signet ring.
He had even been at the park. Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that he had been at a park given that the park was not Central Park.
In fact he had been somewhat across the city from Central Park, although it hadn't stopped him from trying to make it in the direction of Central Park as quickly as he could.
Because the message hadn't been a simple message - rather it had been a call for help - a very panicked call for help.
He had arrived from the North, in time to see a glimpse of what seemed to be a couple of figures moving southwards - at least he thought he had seen a couple of figures although it was possible that he had been mistaken given the speed at which it had been moving.
He walked forward with the intention of heading in the same direction, Order and Chaos auras of varying strengths pinging on his senses. The closest two coming from a couple of senshi. The first was a young man with some sort of black cloth over his eyes, the second... The second was a kid and one who Falias was guessing was most likely in High School but no older.
He pushed away memories of another High School kid as he nodded to first the older and then the younger senshi calling out "There are Negaverse auras up ahead, be careful" as he continued to head forward.

As Leucite collided with the boy he laughed, not out of triumph, but as a rush of excitement flowed through him. Only to grunt again, as Mont Blonc also slammed into him, causing him to tumble off the smaller male.
Still laughing, he scrambled to his feet. Nah, he had this - this was too easy.
He had to up the ante.
"Come at me, both of you... I'll take you one handed!" Placing an arm behind his back, he motioned at them to attack.
"I'm waiting..."

Umber got magnet bumped to D4! Anyone can engage.
Umber felt a particularly unusual sensation alongside the guilt that pervaded his thoughts. It reminded him, initially, of pushing against something - like the earth suddenly turned and gravity demanded that he slide off Ploutonion by path of his legs. However, this force proved much too powerful for his will against it and he found himself sliding quite readily, down the man's legs, to his knees, all the way to the fountain's edge before slipping out of the fountain area entirely. Any attempts to start back into that area left him at an impasse; he could come within feet of the man he intended to incapacitate, but no more.
That guilt continued to eat at him; had he failed in this mission?
No, it couldn't be. Not yet.
Where the hell was that even coming from? That knight in purple? How could we possibly corrupt Ploutonion with magic like that in play? I'm going to need a general if that one's going down.
Though, I might need one regardless. Pushing back against the invisible wall hadn't helped, and he needed to fall back and iron out a better plan. If that senshi persisted in his attempts to hunt Umber down, though...
Finally, Benitoite was moving rather than being a lump. His attack on the knight drew the hawk… eagle… thing away from her and gave her time to recover. Deep breaths helped to shake off the lingering effects of electricity flowing live through her as she turned to give the senshi woman a wide, eager grin.
Now they could get on with it.
Except, as she made to move on the senshi, Ganymede said something and all at once, hunger roared through Cinnabar with a fury. She gasped out as she wrapped her arms tight around her middle, doubling over and stumbling at the sheer force of it. The hunger was always present… she lived with it eternally gnawing at her stomach and the back of her mind. It had been Baal’s legacy and revenge for eating him, but practice, patience and will power had reduced it to a background pain she could usually ignore. This though… it had never felt like this before and it ripped through her leaving a trail of heat that burned…
Cinnabar roared as she ripped open a portal to the Rift, desperately reaching to pull something, anything from it… It didn’t matter, nothing mattered except the need to devour and quell the raging pain.
Out of the portal poured a pack of youma, howling to answer the General’s roar as no less then five feral youma hit the concrete beside the fountain. Lean to the point of gauntness, they appeared like dark hounds with staring white eyes and grinning jaws that split their faces open nearly to the point where skull should have rightly connected to spine. When the jaws opened, alligator-like, there were too many teeth. Far too many.
Cinnabar moved then, darting to tackle one of the hounds as it yelped and squealed. She bit into it’s throat like a beast herself and all at once, it’s form dissolved into oily black smoke, like tar escaping gravity. The half-youma drank it in, swallowing it down greedily to spread soothing relief in it’s wake. There was nothing human about her in that moment, from staring red eyes to thick, clawed hands. Only when the last of it had disappeared into her gut did some sense seem to return to her and Cinnabar stumbled upright and backwards, rubbing the back of her hand across her mouth.
A low, rumbling chuckle escaped her as the hounds circled and bayed to each other, disturbed by what had happened, but unable to abandon the General that had called them. A new power surged through her, banishing hunger and the effects of the senshi magic as it boosted her abilities. From experience, she knew what it would do for her, even if she had never tried it as a General.
“Oh, very nice, Ganymede. I’ll have to remember your magic… I’ve never felt anything like it.” To the youma, she flung a hand out, feeling a new wave of confidence as they looked to her for orders. Youma had despised her before… with her promotion, they had no choice but to obey. “Kill our enemies.” She said simply, and the pack leaped out in all directions.
Cinnabar is in D4 with Ganymede, Valhalla, Amphitrite, Benitoite and now Umber!
With permission; SHE HAS RELEASED FOUR LARGE HOUND YOUMA AGAINST NEARBY ORDER CHARACTERS. If you are in that square or the surrounding ones, you can claim a youma to fight against.
Youma Ability:
Youma Absorption - Cinnabar activates her ability by biting into a full youma. This causes them to dissolve into a black, oily cloud that she then swallows. While absorbed, the youma gives her a physical boost, upping her strength, speed and defense. After ten minutes, her body rejects the youma and its regurgitated; slightly drained, but undamaged. This ability comes with a ten minute cool down. While her body is recovering, any attempt to eat another youma will result in getting violently ill as her body rejects the absorption.

Something strange began to happen. The Captain seemed to be sliding away, pushed by an unknown force. Cor Caroli had taken the hit to the stomach solidly and fallen right onto his butt into the water. He spent most of the sliding time dazed and trying to catch his breath, so it took him a few moments to realize what was happening. He certainly didn't object to the reprieve, and when the coast was clear, he scrambled over to Ploutonion and propped him up so that he wouldn't be totally underwater anymore. "Are you okay? Come on, let's get out of here," he said, though it came out very hurried. The sooner he got the Squire out, the sooner he could tell him about his dream and all the attached business.
Glitnir canceled his channeling as the Captain slipped out of range. He didn't have much time before a bestial growling noise reached him. He barely leaped out of the way in time to avoid being tackled by a large hound youma. Cor Caroli seemed to have his focus on making sure Ploutonion was okay, so it looked like he was going to have to fight off the youma. He gave a wild swing with his scales, hoping to conk the youma on the head or the side. Maybe the other Knight would be able to assist him in making sure the youma didn't hurt anyone.
Plolutonion was getting really tired of almost dying. Or, well, more specifically, almost getting murdered. This was the fourth ******** time in three months, and during something that was supposed to be his own show, at that. Umber's rage was potent, and the Captain was obviously not going to be moved. Even for the brief moments Ploutonion could get his head out of water and away from the fountain jets, he still couldn't tell what the hell was going on - the world was a blur of sound and colorful smudges.
And then the hand around his throat was gone, and the weight on his pelvis shifted to his legs, and then off completely - Umber was off, and there was someone propping him up, which was good because mostly he was interested in expelling the water from his lungs that he had inhaled at one point or another in this little adventure.
He leaned against - well, it sounded like Cor Caroli, which was good; Cor Caroli was exactly the type of person he wanted to see this. If his memories were true, they had shared something in another world. Not, in Plouton's opinion, in this one, but whatever intimacy they'd had, if it was important to Cor, it would make for fine motivational blinders.
All he would have to do was leverage that.
Once he felt like breathing again, he pressed himself against Cor, shivering a bit exaggeratedly. "My...glasses, did you see them? Everything's a blur without," he said, and he made sure to make his voice shake. "Hasanyone seen my glasses?" He raised his voice, some. Project vulnerability - it was working pretty well for him so far, angry Captain Umber aside.

Labradorite is heading for Mira via G3 > F3
Labby had gotten the call over her crystal by the General Queen. The Lt. wasn't sure what she could do but certainly she could take on a silly senshi right? She'd caught a glimpse of her from across the park and she decided maybe she could run into this senshi by taking as straight of a line as she possibly could.
"I got you now!" She cried before attempting to actually hit the senshi in a 'surprise attack'. Apparently no one ever told her that wasn't how this worked, especially with a poster aimed to the target's face.

Hi - Labby says HI! HAVE A POSTER KAY!? - Because that is my badass weapon. wink
Methone was on her way to help the little group against the captain when she felt the dark break of corrupt senshi. It felt hallow and dark. It reminded her of Ate really.
"Hello there Handsome." He was actually pretty cute.
"Are you here to stop me from helping my friends?" She narrowed her eyes, instead of her usual lidded teal gaze. "Because I will need to move on from it."
