Sailor Altair"H-hello," seeing the smilingly given greeting pulled a gentle smile unto her own lips as she offered a greeting of her own while looking back and forth between Ananke and Regolith. And then she asked Regolith, "I'd like to ask um where is your group headed? If both our groups are going to the same place then p-perhaps we can collaborate?" She then indicated to Ananke and Regolith with an upturned palm she moved to drift in sweeping gestures to her group and then at the barracks as their intended destination, "The group I have requested to join are going to head u-um there."

Sessrumnir of Jupiter
There would be plenty of time to take out Metallia and make it back to the portal if they all stopped being indecisive and actually tried to get a move on. He knew what the plan was for when they got back, but for now they needed to go through with taking out as much of the Negaverse as they could.
Still, it would be nice if they didn’t go in through the front doors. That would be very obvious and they would probably be caught right away. “Hey, let’s look for another way in,” he suggested, calling out to the others heading towards the castle. Sessrumnir began looking for a sewer or other entrance they could use and not be immediately caught.
Sessrumnir is going to the castle.

Aegir, Super of SilenceGoing through the portal was disorienting, the pressure of Chaos, of the oddly purple space they found themselves in, weighed limbs down and made it hard to breathe. Worried for the others, and Ash, he reached up to reassure himself the Mauvian had made the trip safely on his shoulder, then pressed a hand to his chest as though that might help him draw easier breath. "It's...almost oily in here." Aegir located Monty and Thyrmr, moving to stand beside them; others gathered in small groups, the in-fighting seemingly forgotten with the strangeness of the Negaspace they found themselves in. The castle loomed, a growing group gathering closer towards it, but there were two other places he could see: a building in ruins that Monty clearly was drawn to, as well as a longer building that seemed to him like an army barracks. Or he thought that, having only experienced seeing such things through movies and the WE WANT YOU! Army commercials on TV. "You," He turned his ire to the tall knight, jaw set, "Are in so much trouble." Aegir then set his narrowed eyes on Thyrmr, no softer in his manner to one than the other, "And you. But for now, we'll worry about surviving this impossible suicide mission." "From now on, you will listen and you will stay close or so help me I will knock you out and throw you right back out the ******** portal. Understand? We're here, we're a team, this is the only way it's gonna work." He'd do it too, they both knew it. Aegir didn't make idle threats - he carried through unless outside reasons kept him from doing so. "You're drawn to that building?" Others were gathering as though to go there, but he still felt they should do the Castle. Though either the building or the barracks would be a safer option for us... He had to make the choice, and quickly - No, we have to make the choice, all of us. "Very well, if Thyrmr and Ash agree, we'll go there."

Gevaudan, Knight of Ganymeade
Team CastleWhile others were volunteering to go the barracks, Gevuadan was at least relieved to see others were eyeing the castle despite the universal consensus among them that it was creepy and giving bad vibes. He looked back at the castle and to the group on the verge of trying to justify the aesthetics like a kid trying to tell their friends that their creepy, run-down grandparent's house was actually really fun and neat.
When Venice came to his side, he gave a very enthusiastic slap on the guy's back. "That's the spirit! This is a once in a life-time opportunity to break into the Negaverse security system like this."
As Ganymeade and Valhalla stepped through the portal, he was glad that at least one royal was here, but that didn't meant anything if she decided to go anywhere but the castle. Noticing they were whispering to each other and the small kiss, he looked away before he looked back to wave them over.
Please say we at least have one royal willing to risk their neck. Sleet Tempest Snap Ganymeade Team Fo Lyfe! Also Welcome to Team Castle, Chaldene and Cetus. OMG You have so many characters participating! OuO Team Castle? I can't pick out who all is coming or not so HOI HOI!

Sailor Cassiopeia, Senshi of Wonder
Soon as her boots touched down in the dark, crystal-lit place... she was in awe. She didn't want to necessarily admit it but... Her free hand not clinging to Pye reached out to try and touch one of the glowing crystals, wonder and curiosity making her marvel at the sight like a child. Looking with her hands and not just her eyes. "Who'da thought the bad guy's place would look so pretty," she murmured, shivering a bit.
It felt so wrong here... but she had to admit, it looked freaking cool.
She looked about, listened to the conversations as people moved. Talked about going to the castle. To other buildings. It all looked... so cool... "I wonder how much DCU would pay researchers to explore a place like this... or Harvard, or the Peabody Museum..." How old were some of these buildings? Had they stood for a thousand years here in the darkness? How much information was hidden in the darkness about the history of earth..? Though, she supposed, from the perspective of the war, more than she'd any concept of. She waited for a moment for any of the others to cross through the portal, uneasy about venturing forward but unwilling to just stay at the portal.
It was.... it was the sensation of being called. Like something was calling for help. The unknown energy nipped at her mind, and she turned towards the line of buildings set apart from the rest. "I think... we should go there," she murmured after a moment, even as her boots already began to echo with each step in that direction. "I don't think we'll be safe in this place, but that might be the closest bet we can have to it." Or you know. Just let the Senshi of Wonder follow her sense of awe to the edge of the world. That worked, too.
Cassiopeia is going to the barracks.

Sailor Hati, Senshi of the Cu-Sith
His first action upon hitting the other side of the portal? Grabbing hold of Skoll's shoulder. His hackles rose, skin crawled, stomach churned. Every muscle readied for a fight, and in the same motion he was half expecting his heart to burst from the adrenaline rush entering his system. "Well this... not sure if this is what I expected or not," he admitted roughly, releasing his sister's shoulder as he rolled his own uneasily. People were already splitting off. Forming new groups.
"Gives me some ideas for Halloween parties, anyways." If it wasn't a place that made him want to punch things, he'd consider it a wonderful chance to look more into the stuff that went bump in the night. As it was. They had a b***h of a time limit. He nodded towards the castle. The place he expected the most trouble from. "Get in, trash the place, take out as many as we can, get out of here before this freaking portal locks us in." Did he aim to die here? Hell no. Did he hold the ideal that there was no way in hell he would die here? He wasn't that naive. Nice of a thought as immortality was. Even with portals and magic and weird talking cats... this was still the real world, he figured.
Now. If he saw someone cut in half suddenly get back up again--and get themselves back together--then he'd reconsider his stance on what constructed the "real world." Till then. "Don't bite off more than you can chew, or I will drag your sorry a** back out of here."
Hati's heading to the castle
----
Super Sailor Metis, Senshi of the Third Eye
Stepping through the portal, Metis was jarred by the sudden... not loss of her sight, but the lack of energy around her. The similar to the sudden disappearance that she experienced whenever she powered down, she found herself holding tighter to Houshi's hand as her head turned slightly this way and that, taking in the sounds around her. Her feet moved in more calculating, testing movements. They were movements and actions she was used to. Just not used to while wearing the garb of Metis.
There was still energy moving around them. She could still make out bits and pieces around them, or around the others whom moved this way and that to explore... whatever was there before them. The echoes of their voices and movements sounded... off to her there, and her skin crawled. Briefly, she was grateful it was only an hour. Even a moment in that place made her feel nauseous.
"The castle, Houshi... we need to head there." She could hear others talking about it--and that was where their supposed target was, right? According to what some of them had said in the meetings... "Hit them fast... and get out fast." She shivered. "I vote warm cozy soup after all this..." And a scalding shower to burn away the sensation of this place.
Metis is aiming for the castle.
----
Themiscyra, Squire of Mars
She'd asked a Captain what he got out of being in the Negaverse. She'd asked what made it appeal. Stepping through that portal... she still questioned it. The sensation of Chaos made her grit her teeth. The Negaverse can protect its own. She wanted to summon the Code there and show it what the ******** Negaverse had brought. A piece of her wanted to run back. To say ******** it and just fight the Negaverse in the city. But...
But something actually made her stop. Her eyes had scanned the area, tried to take stock of the strange realm they stood in. The knowledge that this had once been the capital of the Earth burned her veins. In... in theory, Diana had been here, hadn't she? When she was at the Academy..? Maybe it was that train of thought that made her eyes catch on the broken building. The sense was already there in her mind. As if on cue, as if a ghost was summoned from the depths, a flare of familiarity snagged her and held her tight even after it vanished.
She didn't know it. Yet she did. She had no proof. Yet she reached for Kairatos and her nails dug into his skin. "There. I'm heading in there." She released him to point towards the shattered building that Chaos seemed to struggle to contain. "Are you with me?" If he wanted to go to the castle and fight Metallia... she wouldn't blame him. Her smile faltered as she considered that. Memories that were visions of a future she hoped never to be flickered. "...we're getting drinks after all this. You're buying." The Martian Squire clasped a hand over the Knight's shoulder, smirking as she shoved past the fear that bloomed in her chest. "Got it? We're meeting up after this regardless and getting drinks."
If he came with her. She'd be able to keep an eye on the dear Bull. He's not Transcended...
Releasing him, she motioned to Andronicus, smirk blazing as she tried to smother the fear. "You are staying with me." She linked an arm with the smaller girl, bumping her hip against hers. Memories that weren't memories. She wasn't strong enough to keep Andronicus out of the General's reach... "I need people I can count on around here." Alex had never betrayed her...
Taking a breath, she spotted a pink-garbed knight (Palatine)--Venus?--and after a quick moment, a hair of recognition hit. That'd been the knight whom had helped get Ganymede out. Her daughter. Lifting up her free hand, and releasing her hold on Andronicus for the moment--but still shooting her a look that she better come with--she moved quickly towards the blonde. "Hey! You heading over there? Best to not head alone out here."
Themiscyra's heading for option two, damaged building.

Arthur, the guardian cat
Arthur shivered as he jumped through the portal, looking about before sniffing the air. It made every part of his tense, and his tail puffed out as his back rose before he moved out and headed over to Phact and Sabine.
"This place is horrible." He grumbled.

Sabine, Senshi of Tactics - Team BarracksSabine smiled and crouched down, holding her arms out to Arthur. "I know right? It gives me the creeps!" She was more than happy to carry the guardian cat if he didn't want to walk. "We're going to hit the Barracks, I think, you're always welcome to join us Arthur."

Mauvian Sailor AshThe other side of the portal was even more unpleasant than it had appeared. Ash could not stop arching and making low growling noises, shifting from paw to paw in her agitation.
“This place is HORRIBLE.” She announced, her tail a poofed bottle brush behind her. The reek of chaos was overwhelming, beating at her senses till she squinted against it, trying to push down the sick feeling it gave her, the feeling of wrongness.
Mont Blanc and Thyrmr waited for them and promptly received a tongue lashing from their leader. Ash felt fingers brush along her side in reassurance, but she waited only long enough for the hand to complete the motion before she jumped from Aegir’s shoulder.
What happened next was certainly flashy, and could have brought the Negaverse crashing down on them if it weren’t for the aura smothering effects of the crystal. As Ash fell, glow suddenly took her form and dissolved it, the glowing silhouette of the cat stretching and reshaping until it broke with a burst of sparkled and it was a small woman that touched down lightly in her bare feet. A transparent indigo cape settled around her with its gold circuit edging, but it had hardly fallen to hang straight before she waved her hands and something like a toy ray gun appeared in her hands.
“I’ve been waiting for a while to find a time to use this new trick of mine.” She said as she spun it around a forefinger, spaghetti western style, and turned to view her boys, a little smile on her lips and her other hand braced to a hip.
“Lets see now… Ash Power, Make-up!” She called as she lifted the gun and her human form dissolved into light again, light up like glowing pixels scattered with computer code. It seem to rewrite her being, and when it finally cleared, she was still more or less human, but the change to her form was dramatic. Gone was the full body suit and cape, replaced instead with something smaller and more streamlines, complete with boots that were far more practical than bare feet.
Ash beamed as she struck a pose, her gun held up.
“There! Now I’m ready to go.” She said as she beamed, finally turning her attention to the very important question of where do we go now?
“Oh, um… Wouldn’t Metallia be in the castle? Isn’t she who we came here to attack? That building is all… crumbly. Surely she wouldn’t be in there? Can we afford to get distracted?” She said with a curious frown, her ears splayed with uncertainty.

Super Sailor Thrymr, Senshi of the Southern Lights
Thrymr had opened his mouth to say something, to respond, most likely, to Mont Blonc; but anything he might have said was quite abruptly and quite successfully quashed by both Aegir's arrival and the look on his normally kindly face.
It succeeded in shutting him up. Thrymr looked guiltily sideways at Mont Blonc, then back to Aegir, his shoulders wilting a little under the intensity of his reprimand, and, well, it wasn't as though the senshi was wrong. He shuffled his feet and tried not to look as though he had done anything idiotic.
(Which, considering the circumstances, was a bit of a stretch.)
"The building that Monty suggested seems to be a good start," said Thrymr, but his gaze was drawn towards Ash, unable to look away. He'd never seen her human form - had never even known that such a thing existed, was even possible; and not only that, but a second later, she was different.
"That," said Thrymr breathlessly, momentarily distracted, "was amazing."

Myrrha, Senshi of ScentsMyrrha gave Sabine a smile before letting her gaze travel around the location that they found themselves in. Her gaze narrowed on the latecomers still popping into the staging ground from the portal. How was such a thing possible? They had traveled into another dimension. Shaking her head she brought herself back to the present and nodded as Aptera introduced herself. "Nice to meet you Aptera, I'm Sailor Myrrha. " She listened to Phact before shaking her head. She had hooked up briefly with Cassiopeia but had not thought to ask her follow senshi if she were going into the portal. "I found my friend but I wasn't sure if she was going to go through the portal or not," She grinned suddenly as she spotted Cassiopeia nearing her position. "Although I think she may be here with us." As Sabine and Phact decided on where their group would go Myrrha tried to catch Cassi's eye. She would love it if Cassiopeia tagged along with them to the barracks.
Myrrha's heading to the barracks.Kaefaux Mention. Feel free to drift over. ^-^ I think we're all going to the barracks

Eternal Maia, Senshi of Song/ Shangri-la, Squire of PlutoMaia had been in the park when the call had happened, but Shang had not been. He'd been home with his fiance, and had little precious time to spend with her as it was, so Maia had waited for him, he had the crystal with her energy in it anyway. It was the tail end that the pair had caught with they arrived, and Maia frowned intensely looking before looking around to see if she can find Babylon. It was Shang that spotted him as he went through the portal. The pair looked at each other, worry present in their dual colored eyes, still they moved forward into the portal following after Babylon. "This place is beyond eerie, it worse then that tainted grove," he whispered only to receive a glare from his sister. She knew he didn't mean anything by it, but still. After a moment she spotted Babylon and quickly made her way over to him. "Hey, we were a little late, please tell me you have some sort of plan." Pharos, Squire of ChronosPharos had made it the calling, but hadn't really added to the cacophany of voices and what appeared with be something closer to chaos than anything else, but it seemed in the end they were somehow ready to make a move. She was confused. She noted Virgo, whom'd she'd not seen in a time and Celsus as well and then Babylon. When the portal was opened they started and and she followed, nervous about entering the belly of the beast. Did they not read? As far as she was concerned, this sort of thing didn't often go well. They were brave warriors though weren't they. She summoned her staff and moved up to the gathering group. "This place is so full of not okay."

Avalon is hanging out with Babylon!! Angrily!!Avalon yanked her hand free of Babylon's. Nothing pissed her off faster than getting dragged into s**t she knew was stupid--why go into something so obviously a trap? with a stupid-a** plan like 'everyone go in at once and split up'?--and he'd just totally done that. "Explain fast," she hissed, itching for something sharp. She crossed her arms tight over her chest.

Sailor LacrimosaThis place... She didn't like it at all. The feeling of evil and wrong was all around her and it felt like she was drowning in it. It was oppressive and made her heart race in ways she hadn't dealt with in years. Her arms wrapped around her body for a moment as she struggled to pull her mind from places it didn't need to be. And in that moment she caught a glimpse of someone that looked familiar and some how different? Was that... Elpis? There was a noise of curiosity, she looked like she had grown? For lack of a better understanding anyway. And before she could really think about what she was doing, her feet were moving her towards the super senshi. She might have even still looked a little freaked out even. "Elpis? You look amazing~" Lacrimosa was almost jealous. "Is it alright if I go with you?" Not that the castle was the place she wanted to be, exactly, but at least if she were with someone she trusted it would be better.

Nirvana, Page of PlutoIt did not seem like too very long before her emerged from the other side of the portal. The feeling of oppression in the air weighed him down, he looking out into the darkness and squinting to see the dark purple lights beyond. So this was what it was like to live the life of Chaos. "I do not like this..." he glanced around the area as he closed the distance between him and the rest of the group. It was good to see that most of those that went before him had made it through safely. As he surveyed the area his eyes fell on the overgrown ruins in the distance. He felt a tug on his heart, his eyes locked on it for a good long time before he made himself look away. The castle stood out against the sky, he shivering noticeably as he scanned over it. It was his first thought to go and meet the main attack, but he kept being drawn back toward the ruins. His eyes shifted to Phact, hearing her state that she had all the intent of going to what seemed to be the Barracks. He giving a slight sigh as he cleared his throat to get her attention. "I...forgive me, but might I request that I be given leave to explore the ruins? Something...I do not know what, keeps drawing me there. It is a strong feeling and I do not think that it should be ignored." Even as he said those words he lowered his head, feeling as though he were abandoning his leader when he knew she would need him. ((Going to the Ruins))---------------------------- Kastra, Senshi of MeditationKastra moved through the portal, the feeling of darkness pressing on her heart as she tumbled forward onto the ground, spilling her skirts about her. She cursed under her breath, her eyes closed to fight back tears. She would not cry from this little bit of pain. She was not so very weak. She righted herself, dusting off her outfit and looking for the group that had taken her in. She was part of a family here. She had a reason to fight, and these people she would protect no matter what. She moved over to the group, she standing at Phact's side, her pale fuku slight messed now from her fall. She noted the new arrivals to the group and smiled, she giving them a shy nod but nothing more than that, she not wishing to interrupt the others. She would go where ever Phact decided they would go. She was not only her leader, but a friend, and she owed her her power by her side. ((Going to the Barracks))

Babylon is near the Portal!Babylon had not... thought this through entirely, because he had never briefed Avalon on the Code's order, because he hadn't wanted her to rush back from her Wonder because... he wasn't going to bother finishing that thought, because it was all ruined now and she was pissed. He was a moron, but he wasn't stupid, and he knew when his fiancée was pissed. They'd somehow managed to stumble into an audience, and given the limited amount of time they had here, he was not going to ease anyone into the situation. "Cordoba, hey," he said, and then nodded to the pair of unfamiliar senshi - Harmonia and Alsafi, and then again to Maia and Shang. "Okay," he said, "I'm gonna say this once and you can all decide if you want to be on the crazy train or not, but this is a circle of trust and if you decide that you're not going to help, then you're in no way going to impede me, either, okay?"He was not sure that Avalon would agree to that, but then, he was not sure Avalon was going to agree with much of anything that came out of his mouth right now besides I will wear that little black number you like so much."Caedus cannot be trusted," he said to the assembled group. "If we allow him to return to his homeworld, he will come back to drain the Earth dry of resources. Once we return to Destiny City, we turn on him." He glanced out towards the landscape beyond the portal - Babylon's gut wanted to investigate the building he knew to be the academy, but he also knew that would likely be the least useful place to go from a tactical standpoint... but they also needed to make it back alive. "You two," he said to Alsafi and Harmonia. "Any good in a fight? I'm going to the castle - I need to recruit more people to the cause. If any of you don't want to come with, ditch now - but if you're up for punching an alien parasite in the face, maybe spread the word."
