Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mithra, Eternal DMS of Mantis Shrimp

Mithra was at the front with Remarque, well she and other various DMS, some with more experience, some with less, but either way, she was keeping an eye on her surroundings the whole time. Everyone would need to fight, but Eternals needed to be on their A-game to take care of well... everyone else as well.

She followed Remarque and the others through the portal she couldn't help but let out a small "wow" to herself as she looked around. This place would be prettier if they didn't come here specifically to destroy whatever was in here and probably never come here again. So you know, just had to commit the sight to memory before it was taken over by punching whatever these things were.

She moved herself into a fighting stance. These "shadows" didn't know who they were dealing with! She thought she felt something tug on her uniform, something that wasn't another Senshi accidentally bumping into her. Immediately she threw a fist out at the creature she thought she saw. "Take this a******!" She said, sending a punch straight towards it, hoping that it would be easy enough to take down. If they took multiple hits, this would be harder than they thought!




Bellerophon, DMS Super of Chimeras
Oh noooooooooo. New was bringing up things that caused emotion within Bell and made the situation much more serious. He could feel himself tearing up a little as the emotions ran through him. He couldn't help but smile a little at his partner. "Really? Here? At this time? You sure know how to choose when to make things really serious." He said, pausing when he was kissed and leaning forward slightly into it. After New was off of his lips again he looked at the portal. "We better go in." He said as Remarque took the lead. "You keep safe too. It's not just you that worries." He said, giving him a shoulder squeeze as he encouraged Itokawa to move with him.

Soon enough they had passed through the mirror and while he wanted to enjoy what he was seeing and try to study this area, reality was brought back to him with all of the noise and then something that felt like it was pulling his arm. He took his free hand and immediately sent a punch toward the "shadow". "Looks like some of them are already on us! Watch out New!"




Varda, Super DMS of Victory

As Varda watched the other DMS sort of gather around, another one dressed in green came up to her, seemingly a bit shy and asked if they could stick together. Varda grinned. "Of course! Always happy to have a travel buddy, and in this case, a battle buddy as well!" She said, giving the other a nod. "I'm Varda sphere is victory, so if you feel like you're getting tired just let me know and I can get your adrenaline pumping again!" She said.

However, it now seemed time to go through the portal. "Looks like it's time. Come on friend, I want to see what's going on with these things." She said as she stayed with Sadalsuud.

Eventually Varda found herself inside of whatever the mirror led to and she could see all of the strange buildings and shadows and- she thought she felt something grab her leg! "Oh no you don't!" She said as she tugged her foot out of whatever was gripping it before launching her her wedge-heel shoe straight at the shadow she thought had gripped her. Not that she could really tell. They seemed to be gathering everywhere! But there was a satisfying feeling when she felt something that was mostly solid connect as her foot was thrown out.

Eternal Kiuchi


"I know we'll be ok." He couldn't help but worry though and his partners were sue to know that, it was simploy how he was, especially when it came to them. This was their first big incident with mirrorspace, they hadn't been through the other things, and theyu didn't know firs thand what the place could throw at it's senshi.

Leaning down to return Panacea's kiss he turned to Fulu and presse dhis lips to the others ."Keep safe, especially your feet." Since there had been glass all over the place he worried about some unseen shard getting the other, especially if he stepped onto it with any amount of preasure. That could cause a lot of damage which they might not be able to address right away.

"Keep safe, both of you." Fingers ran through their hair, one and than the other, before he headed inside the mirror and took the time to look around, to feel, and the place thrummed with energy. It pulsed and the darkness around them, the shadows, was not at all pleasing to see. "Well, at least we know what we're up against." And what their goal was, they knew where they had to get to. "Keep together and we hold each others back." That way they were each covered and they could, with any hope, take out the enemy as fast as possible.

Before he could do anything, even move, a shadow was headed right for Fulu and Panacea was on it. "So they die fast and easy...that helps." That would help a lot, and was good for them. "Let's just punch them all then." And he couldn't help swooping in and pressing his lips to Panacea's, his feisty little mongoose. "Come on." That said he went foer the nearest shadow, which was headed their way, and hit it with a fist.

Looking around he waited till he saw Acubens and his sister and shouted over. "They die to one hit. Just punch them all! You don't need to really fight them!" He knew Acubens would have no issue with punching things, neither would Mithra who was somewhere in the mix, but his sister would have an easy time of this as well and that he was glad for.

Super Arawn, Dark Mirror Senshi of Cŵn Annwn

Arawn could feel Laon’s grip tightening around his hand, but his voice sounded far away. Everything did. His heart was racing too quickly as the other members of the court closed in around them, listening to Remarque, following his instructions to deal with whatever was causing the mirrors to react as they did.

His hands were trembling. Not from fear or anxiety or anything like that, but no one but Laon or Remarque knew that, and he tried to hide it by jerking his hand away from Laon’s so he could cross both arms over his chest. Thankfully he wasn’t pulling away from Laon, and made sure he didn’t squeeze his arm too tightly as he hooked it around his elbow. He just didn’t want people thinking he was scared.

Maybe we should get you a spray bottle.

Laon wanted them to make friends, to play nice. But they were already just going to talk to him like he was a dog.

He knew he was acting a bit feral in an attempt to keep people away, but it still hurt.

He could feel the hair on the back of his neck rise, the cold sweat along his brow as echoed comments similar to Rana’s whispered in his unreliable memory. But even if he couldn’t remember the details, he remembered how he felt.

The only thing that kept him from lashing out was Laon’s hold on his arm and reminder that he was there with him, and Remarque issuing further instructions.

Arawn’s face felt hot, and his stomach churned uncomfortably.

Another senshi, Asuka, approached, and the one from before introduced herself as Lete, and he was grateful that he had a chance to escape in the distraction.

“Stay with them,” Arawn growled lowly to Laon as he slipped his arm free and took off towards and through the mirror behind Remarque. They could keep Laon safe, and Laon was much more likely to make friends than he was. So if he removed himself from the situation, maybe Laon stood a chance at making the connections Arawn couldn’t.

Stepping through the mirror and into the realm with black-purple sky and galaxy above them, Arawn immediately felt the loss of Laon’s company and strength. The shadows were dangerous, though. And the safer Laon was, the better. The faster they cleared everything out, the better.

He would just hope that the cracking under his feet was from already broken glass, and not the floor about to give way.

The first shadow that tried to attack him got a kick -- and he was surprised when it shattered into glass and disappeared. But not without cutting up some of his clothes. He hissed at the cut along his leg, but it was fine. Better him than Laon.

Super Hybris of Reflection

One of Hybris's hands went up to touch his lips in surprise at Parysatis's sphere, "Wow, really?" With clear admiration he went on, "Mosquitoes! That sounds like it could be really strong, and bloody! I bet you're going to really show those shadow things who's boss, don't worry."

And then arrived a familiar face, just as the prince decided to lead the charge. More numbers thank heaven. Honestly, Hybris wasn't sure if he could handle any further disfigurement for the rest of the year. He'd already had to step down and give his role in JAWS: The Musical to his understudy! Enough was honestly, enough!

"Bélénos! I'm so peary glad you're here!" Another member of the Haunted Garden! Hybris was genuinely excited to see her join them, partly because she was fun, and partly because she was another person to rely on. He shifted a little behind her, hands on the back of her shoulders giving her an encouraging little Go Get'em Champ massage, "I was hoping we'd see you, you're going to be great and I can't wait to watch." Was he maneuvering her to enter the door before him? Well! Maybe!

The realm they stepped into was surreal, out of time, and utterly broken. It'd be kind of nice to visit, really, if not for the mass of shadowy figures that surged to meet the court. "Oh...oh nooooo..." He really didn't like that part of the scenery.

Hybris tried to keep himself safely bracketed by Muri (so tough!), Hela (a warrior!), Parysatis (a dark horse of youthful potential!), and Bélénos (surely about to mow down like a hundred of those nasty shadow people!) Once, though, he threw an eggplant at an encroaching shadow figure that he thought was reaching for his hair. The accuracy was a bit surprising to say the least.

His swooning show of I tried my hardest exhaustion as he moved to hide more firmly behind whoever was closest afterward? Much less surprising.

Sailor Hela, DMS of Dolls

As the group came together she recognized the pear senshi from their encounter with those firefly things. "Oh hey! Bélénos it's nice to see you again!" She hadn't seen what her magic could do but just the fact there were more people around would help them all keep an eye on each other.

Hybris talked his way through everything, helping her pick up bits and pieces of who was who as they stepped through the mirror. He had moved behind them and she reached out a hand back defensively to try and keep herself aware of where he was at. "Oh yeah, this is a new level of nope." It was like the things that had grabbed her before and she really hoped she could do something to get rid of them like she did with the youma she hunted. If she needed it, she had her tripod in subspace and hoped that would work just in case.

"What's the plan guys?" She directed it vaguely towards Muri and just anyone more experienced with this stuff in general. She had gotten through a few fights by now but shadow people hadn't been on the list of things she had really fought. She didn't want to rush into anything but she was growing a bit nervous about waiting for these things to pile on them like a group of rugby players. It felt like that scene in Kingdom Hearts II with all those heartless rushing in and she really didn't think they had the same quick-time event abilities up their sleeves.

Sailor Telesto, Dark Mirror Senshi of Pressure

Satisfied with the answer from the Prince, Telesto readied themself for the coming crossing. Their powers were still lighter, but what one could not do with strength they must do with tactics.

At the call from the Prince, Telesto ran forward, briskly shoving their way through others to get into the space as soon as possible. The frontlines were a calling!

This world was..... Different. Somewhere in their memories there was a feeling of nostalgia, though with a bitter twinge. The darkness all around them, the world crumbling within. This was the end of days, they hadn't fought hard enough, it had.... That wasn't not. Whatever that was, it wasn't now, and it didn't matter. The shadows had them outnumbered, but they were shadows. Of low substance, weaker, easy to crush.

But it still wasn't a reason to stay alone. They recognized their awakener, but they seemed to have a cadre of sorts forming. It may be good to join them... They spotted another figure, alone save for the creature that seemed to be sprouting from their palm. Two was better than one, or two and a half at least.

With a quick step, Telesto dropped down near Hydrus, a hand reaching out to grip the head of a shadow that had begun approaching. With a squeeze of their hand the shadow's head caved in, collapsing beneath the pressure of their Crushing Touch.

"You take the ones in front, and I'll take out the ones that come in close," Telesto said with a slightly cheerful call to Hydrus.

Telesto kept up their position, rotating around Hydrus' flanks and rear, hands lashing out in firm strikes against any that the leviathan or Hydrus' scarf didn't claim. The numbers were certainly in the super senshi's favor, but Telesto was keeping up to his own.

Super Sailor Arnica, Dark Mirror Senshi of Mandragora

Though there was a moment of brief surprise where Arnica had held out a hand to help her if she needed it, he was glad she managed to find her own balance before he had to interfere. It hadn’t been difficult to catch her name and sphere, even as the seriousness was falling on the group.

She didn’t seem too enthralled with the idea of her own sphere, but it sounded like just the sort of thing that could come in handy–for your enemies, not yourself.

“Well, it’s good to meet you, Hekate. I’m glad I’ll have you to watch my back. Especially since things seem so serious.”

Remarque had a plan. Even if it was to take on an army.

“I’m sure we’ll be able to handle things. I’ve had plenty of weird run ins before, how bad could this be?”

He was still cracking a grin when he made his way to the mirror to follow Remarque, and–

Oh, he supposed it could be bad.

His first impression of the strange place they’d arrived at was that he didn’t want to fight, he wanted to explore. Even if there was a strange, uncomfortable haze of energy around them, this was exactly the sort of place he was looking for in Mirrorspace.

…Go figure, it would be the source of his problems.

He glanced over his shoulder and eased when Hekate joined him.

If the goal was to get to the source of the oddities, fine. He could do that. He might only be a Super Senshi but he’d been doing this for a long time so far.

The shadows might have been more intimidating if there wasn’t already a full force of Dark Mirror Senshi making quick work of them, and if Arnica had any reservations before, they were rapidly fading. He clapped Hekate on the arm lightly, encouragingly. “This doesn’t look so bad! Are you good in a fight?”

Good, bad–it didn’t matter if everyone was watching out for each other.

Like now, when a shadow got too close him and Hekate he lashed out and–

It exploded with the contact. His hand felt sore, but the threat was gone, and…

Maybe they could get through this place quickly enough that he would be able to explore a bit.
