"My shield is perfect for that," Halle found himself almost smirking and quickly schooled his face and attitude. Don't get too confident. Just be confident enough. "You won't have to worry about me, just get yourselves out when things get too rough."
Having a shield that was perfect for that, meant he should be the last person out as far as Halle was concerned.
In some ways, the loud crashing of the door did them a favor, allowing them the necessary warning that whatever they were planning to do, it was now time to fight. Halle readied his magic, prepared to summon as soon as Solaris's attack moved past him.

Super Cryolite, Corrupt Senshi of Baby It's Cold Outside Location: Outside Action: Flanking Litharge to the Front ******** didn't shoot Albite a pleading look that screamed 'why me' even though a part of himself dearly wanted to. But no. This wasn't the place for that. Instead he nodded at Ilmari apologetically, because he usually *liked* talking to the basic when he got the chance! When things were less dire and the world didn't feel a hairs-breadth from catching flames; giving Mira a fleeting wave goodbye and moving as he was told--
Cryolite watched the door pop from over Litharges shoulder with wide eyes, he nearly whistled. "Impressive--" cool undertones attached to the praise, a private part of him hoped the loudness of their arrival, the swarm of signatures -- if that would be *enough* -- of a warning, of a reason to flee. For order to simply hand Helio over now before the other shoe truly dropped...
"Alright gone girl, you lost me with the waistline commentary. No shame on bein able to *eat* -- even if it's just putting away a salad." And Mira was all for skinny b***h unity of the bustless-and-beautiful variety! But if she was gonna 'love the skin she was in' (at least 75% of the time), she couldn't really hate on anyone else's, could she? Not even in a passively meandering bipartisan way. "But I do love your Spirit, like the semi-annual halloween store. It's got its proper place and it's timing---" Throwing her slight arm over Ilmari's shoulders, the drapings of comradery and a plush smile. She was only teasing, mostly.
"And? I will get with you on how that whole 'fit' is a discount Daiso's worth of extra." The call of orders shifted the vibe, had her blowing a kiss Cryolites way as she tugged Ilmari closer to the house. Her words traipsing into a conspiratal whisper. "It's all very--- if ahegao met danmei?"
"Nod if you agree -- and have your magic at ready -- I wanna be wow'ed off these heels! Oh!" Her head whipping round to the others who were left to bide their time waiting for the rats to be flushed out into the open. "Anyone wanna start a Death Pool!!" If she was gonna be sidelined to waiting for an action call? Heck, for the smoke to clear and the ashes to be sorted through -- then it was probably best then to make something *grand* out of it!
She was maybe overconfident in the lot of them; that Helio would be saved, and the day won. And in the mass of numbers they had and the furious looks on the attendees faces, it wasn't her fault if those on the other side wanted to find out the frying-pan way what it meant to play with fire? If they'd already had their good time torturing some poor boy....
Then why couldn't she make the most out of it too.

Corrupt Mauvian Desiree Location: Outside Action: Buddying up between Ako and Brassite and spotting Illyria
Seeing not one but two of the teammates she preferred, Desiree was glad to see them. The question from Brassite pulled a laugh from her and she couldn't exactly answer it given the abruptness of it all. "Maybe not a bonus from them but I'm sure we'll find something to suit you."
There was still that tension as orders went out, an update on where to go and how things would proceed. This wouldn't be easy, not as a feline but she wasn't about to blow the surprise too early.
"I'll be sticking with the team in case any information comes out so you can focus on the rest. I doubt it would be easy for them to spot little old me between the rest of the agents, youma, and senshi in attendance."
That and it would help her slip in and out when needed, after all, she needed to make sure no useless little doubts about chaos got to anyone on Chal's team.
Speaking of that, a blip came up of an order mauvian and for a moment she thought she saw a recognizable form peeking out from the rubble though with her less-than-perfect vision, she couldn't completely confirm it but it was something she noted just in case.
General Chalcanthite *Captain aura due to Engraved medallion Location: Outside Action: Orders given and moving forward
Seeing Benitoite, he wasn't surprised, if anything he would have been more surprised if they hadn't appeared. The lack of a certain corrupt glue to their hip did give him pause but he couldn't say anything without being a hypocrite considering how he'd not even given an excuse or notice to Liam before he and Desiree had left the manor.
Pulling his engagement ring off, he hid it in subspace for now. The less information that could be figured out about him that was true, the better. "You press forward, I can provide support from further back. The usual formation of course and be wary of my corrupt, fire can be unpredictable of course." They weren't the senshi he and Benitoite were hunting but fire was still fire even if it was magical.
That said he looked back towards Ako and Brassite. "Ako, focus on suppression but be careful of destabilizing any of the structure until we hear confirmation. Brassite, ears open and stick together if possible I know you will do well but be safe all three of you." Looking down towards his mauvian last, he offered a nod and pulled his bow, keeping it low and getting ready for the breach.
"Eyes and ears open, suppression if possible but not at the risk of your own safety. We need information on how this happened, be rougher if needed to get the information we all need." His voice chilled as he spoke, the gravity of it settling in to make sure his orders were clear.
Location: At Prehnite's back Action: Awaiting Orders
The all call for members of the Negaverse would have gone unanswered. The tablet in his bag had beeped steadily for a minute before he registered exactly what was going on. He had excused himself from the room on the premise of a quick trip to the lavatory in order to read the message. A scowl lit on his face as he considered the options. Even if the message had come from a General King Ken wasn't exactly keen on answering the summons. He, strictly speaking, wasn't a member of Faustite's team, but he was linked to the other through a team member on the small team that he was a part of. No, what really chafed him at this moment was he had been inconveniently about to start another chess match in the tournament he had enrolled himself in. Nothing major, and his ranking wouldn't suffer if by chance he would be beaten but it was the loss of a good round of mental gymnastics that chess brought on that would have been missed. With a disappointed sigh Ken returned to the gymnasium hall and neatly flicked over the piece that would signal his forfeit before he simply turned around and left the room. An official chased after him shouting a warning but Ken merely spun around before he calmly explained he was withdrawing from the competition.
There were bigger prizes to go after.
After he put a few blocks of distance between everything, Ken rummaged through his bag once more before checking the tablet for further details. A message from the one he served under further highlighted the need for his presence and he allowed himself to become Sodalite and to be pulled directly to his General's side.
His hands gently wound through the whip portion of his weapon before he eyed the building where things were already going down it seemed.
"Do you have any specific orders for me Prehnite?"
As Brassite approached, Ako nodded in greeting. "Brassite. Good to see you here." She turned her attention back to Chalcanthite, listening attentively. "Understood."
It was an unusual seriousness, and all trace of the laid back, friendly yet formal woman seemed to have vanished, replaced by cold eyes and rigidity. As she listened, her eyes swept over the area, trying to identify any potential places of concern, any windows or other areas that Order might try to use to escape from.
She turned her attention back to Brassite and Des, speaking to the mauvian first. "I can offer my shoulder if you'd like a better vantage point." To her teammate, she gave a small yet tight smile. "I've got your back. I'll let you lead, I'll follow." Brassite had, assumedly, more experience with this than Ako, and she was glad to provide support rather than take the lead on this.
It was a quiet night and Aruna had been enjoying that. She had been patrolling, minding her own business, and had just thought to herself that it was strange for it to be this quiet. Guess it's true what they say about jinxing yourself though. No sooner had she thought that did the SOS catch her attention.
Aruna frowned at the message, the hair on the back of her neck standing up. She knew she could be of help for this, knew that her power would be useful. So to ignore this would be irresponsible of her.
She noted the location and swiftly made her way towards the location. The closer she got, the more of that sick unease she could feel. She hadn't had a lot of interaction with the Negaverse so far, and had considered herself lucky. Seems like that luck had just run out though. The aura of powerful chaos agents caught her off guard, making her gasp. This was going to be a long night, she reasoned. May as well get it started.
Youma Ram Location: Outside, away from the death breath Action: Getting ready for the fight
Ram let out a huff as he stomped one of his hooves impatiently. He had been summoned from the Rift to help these Negaverse Agents with a fight, but they had been standing around for some time, trying to figure out how they were going to get into the building to get the Agent that was trapped. A Corrupt. Ram couldn't help but growl a bit at it. Why did they care about saving a Corrupt anyway? Yes, he tolerated them, but to go so far out of the way to rescue one...
It didn't matter though. Orders were orders and he was here to fight if need be.
He took a sniff of the air. The attack had begun. He shifted his hooves, ready and willing to fight, keeping an eye out around the perimeter of the building that they were around. Order would come, and he would be ready.

Knight Drombeg Location: Outside Action: Approaching the area, cursing, getting ready for a fight
While Drombeg hadn't been too close by, he was close enough to receive the message, and managed to make his way over as fast as he could. And it seemed he was one of the few that had answered the call so far as the area was heavy with Corrupt aura, almost to where it felt hard to breath. He knew that he would be found quickly and had cursed under his breath when he had gotten close to the area.
But no matter what happened, he had to do this. If this was the way he would make it up to the universe since he was an Agent to go down fighting the Negaverse in trying to help this group escape, so be it.
When he finally got closer, he noticed a Senshi that had also answered the call and made his way over to her, as quickly and as quietly as he could. "Do you know the situation?" He whispered to her as he finally got close enough. At least there was someone else here on the same side he was.
Two months. It had been less than two freaking months since Chizuru had been back stateside after her extended stay in Japan, and already crap was hitting the fan. It had been years since she was able to stretch her legs as a senshi, and the familiar exhilaration of transforming once more brought a smile to her face. She had been perched on a rooftop, reacquainting herself with how to be a senshi, when the sos reached her. Her eyes darkened as she read the message and her lip curled. It seemed some things didn't change. Chaos would always be chaos.
It didn't need thinking over. Not one bit. Inari was already in motion, making her way towards the location. She ignored the disgusting prickle and feeling of wrongness on her skin as she entered the area, keeping to the shadows around the edge of the site for now.
tefla
Inari is quite nearby if you would want to interact!
Aruna looked up as someone spoke to her, giving them a small smile. She didn't recognize them, but that wasn't saying much for the introverted senshi. She didn't feel the awful skin crawling sensation coming from them, so she let herself relax a little, shaking her head in response to their inquiry.
"No, just what was broadcasted. As far as I can tell, they're pretty angry, but I don't know why." Something about the way the agents moved, their body language and the sheer anger rolling off of them (from what she could see), told her it was personal. "I think there's more to this than we're being told..." Years of abuse made Aruna hyperaware of body language and micro expressions, and in situations like this, it was actually useful.
Turning to look at Drombeg properly, she nodded at them. "I'm Aruna."
SSBrosB
Aruna is visibly wary and cautious, but wants to help how she can!
Page Santa Maria Novella Location: Stairs/front door Action: With Halle and Solaris at the door.
He certainly wasn't expecting the compliment from the winged senshi, Solaris she said her name was, and it had him giving a slight smile. This lack of planning was now going to get them all in trouble, and he was feeling nervous and sick to his stomach, this wasn't good. He didn't even have a clue what was going on, other than they were all about to be attacked, but he knew this wasn't good. That was all he really needed to know.
Nodding to the words of the other knight he made a mental note to keep that in mind, in case he needed to escape. The words weren't that easy to remember, not like the other said, and in a posistion of panic he was certain he'd forget them all. He just hoped he could manage something close enough to get himself out of here, to wherever that safe place was, as he very much did not think he'd remain here to see this fight to the end.
Listening to the two, the talk of a sheild and a bang, he heard them discussing how to use the winged beings magic along with the shield. "So friction starts the spark then...and builds energy from there..." Magic...it was magic, somehow he knew it, but friction being what started it sounded right to him as well. "I got nothing to offer to this..." He had just a simple wooden letter opener in his hand, he could try and stab someone with it if need be, but he really didn't think it would be that useful...not unless someone got close enough anyway. If someone got close enough he would stab them, he wasn't about to let himself be some sitting duck.
When the door came down he gave a little jump, fighting down the urge to jump as much as he could, the page's pale eyes were wide at the sight of someone who looked so...strange...or perhaps interesting was the word to use. Either way he didn't like the feel of either person at the door. "I think we need to handle them..." As if that didn't go without say really, he kept behind the other two, Solaris and Halle, as he really wasn't sure what to do. he'd let them lead, they had a plan after all.

General Benitoite Location: Outside Action: Heading for, and joining, the front door crew.
Looking up at his name being called the blond managed a glance over to Chalcanthite then, he hoped the other was ready for this. While his eyes were on his fellow general the blond had pulled his burner phone from subspace, his fingers unlocking the phone and pulling up a group text message. A message was tapped out, with only a glance or two at the screen, as he let his family members know what was going on. He would summon them if they were interested in joining. The message sent he kept the phone close, for now, as hw waited for responces.
As he stared at Chalcanthite he had no doubt in his mind that they'd meet resistence, of some sort, at the door the moment it fell to their attack on it. Turning back to the General King he managed a stiff nod if his head, he was ready, his weapon already in his hand was kept at his side as he headed towards the front door.
"That was the idea I had as well. I'll take the door...you get whoever opens fire on me once it falls." Because he wouldn't have time to go from taking the door to handling whatever attack came, it might be too quick for him to respond to, it would be best if Chalcanthite had his arrow flying just as the door fell - take order by surprise.
Shooting a look over his shoulder he shrugged a bit. "I'll keep tha tin mind...but I'm not too bothered by fire." He'd dealt with burning debris landing on him once, years back, the idea of fire didn't bother him too much. He knew his rather flippant manner of speaking would have bothered his cousin, and his partner, but neither were here right now to hear him...to scold him. His phone was sent away, the summon sent to any who had wanted to join, and he was on his way towards the front door to deal with it.
"I'll keep your team safe, assuming you'll be further back than we will." He would make sure his fellow generals team made it out safe, he was good at that. What he wasn't expecting was other people to reach the front door first...and take it down. Taking a moment, just a single moment, to stand there and look, the blond shook his head and picked up the pace. "I really did want to kick the door in..." And there was almost a pout in his voice, though not on his face, as he heaved a sigh and looked back to his fellow general. "I think after this I might just track down a senshi or knight and take my fustrations out on them...." He did have a bit of a habit for that, taking his anger, upset, and fustrations out on order by hunting them down when he was having a bad night. He'd done it the first time he'd been dumped, among other times. He'd gone out hunting down order when Bazzite had gone and purified as well.
"Well, let's join the party at the front." And he hurried off to join the front door crew, since he was not a part of the rescue team.

Transcendent Eternal Encke of Plasma Location: Stairs, around mid-way down Action: Already plotting how to get Solaris, Halle, and Santa Novella out
"I can pull more to my world," offered Encke from behind Solaris, wryly. He knew this would go badly. It's why they offered to stick around after their conversation with Hy-Brasil, no matter their opinion on the ordeal.
To feel the General-Sovereign aura in the vicinity made things worse. It was Faustite, certainly. Who else would it be?
And they were definitely outnumbered. Why wouldn't they be?
Encke watched Halle ready himself to shield an attack and Solaris plot to use her own. Hopefully, it didn't go haywire. Of course, considering everything else, even a haywire attack could give them a bit of a boost. They just needed to get enough time to get the ******** out of there.

Super Sailor Solaris of Catalysts Location:Stairs, around mid-way down, facing the Front Door Action: Firing at the newly busted in front door
His shield would hold for that. Solaris' smile grew, her feathers fluffing briefly in a her relief. It helped to reduce the risk of friendly fire, at least for their group... She could sense more Order signatures incoming, and winced slightly, sending a silent pra-- ... hope that they wouldn't also get caught in anything.
The Page's repetition of her explanation drew her attention, and she tapped the brooch on her bow. A core surrounded by a diamond-shaped eruption, and a circle around that for the outward expanse. At least, that's the way she always understood it. "I'm the Senshi of Catalysts, if that helps explain what my magic does. And you don't need to add anything here--just brace yourself, and if anyone gets close enough, hit them as hard as you can and try to get away." She felt... almost sick, saying this to him. They were kids. She knew the war was unfair to those it pulled into its ranks, but... Best she could do right now was support them in this fight. At least one was a Knight--
The sound of footsteps descending the stairs made her turn slightly to look up over her shoulder, the shock of neon purple and blue, the red hair... She smiled up at Encke, grateful for his presence here. "That might do us better," she agreed, eyeing his Transcendence markings before a window shattered further upstairs. Then the door came busting down.
She refocused, lifting up her right hand and holding it out well above Halle's head towards the open doorway with her thumb pressed to her middle finger. Her wings folded close to her even as her feathers bristled and the hair on her nape stood on end. She spotted the Negaverse Captain and could see movement behind him. Time to start. She again cast a silent plea that it hit the mark...
"Catalytic Combustion," she hissed lowly, snapping her fingers. The 'finger gun' pose held as a sudden spark erupted into form from her snap, buzzing in front of her index finger a beat before golden energy ballooned out around it, crackling and hissing, vibrating at the sudden containment of too much energy inside the space of about a basketball. This large orb shot forward, streaking through the air before reaching the doorway... and then immediately set off an explosion of rapid, high heat and expanding energy, regardless of it if the orb itself hit someone or not.

Solaris' Magic
✶Catalytic Combustion _________「𝔖」 She points her fingers with one hand like a 'gun' to direct her magic at a target. Snapping those fingers, Solaris creates a spark that stays in front of her hand. This spark is the catalyst for a rapidly growing flood of energy to pool into an expanding, fuzzy ball in front of her hand. It maxes out in size of about 9.5 inches diameter (the size of a basketball). This ball of golden, condensed light and energy then shoots out towards the target Solaris' pointer finger is directed at. The ball can travel up to fifteen feet before exploding and dispersing, even if it hasn't hit a target by that point. Anyone hit by the ball itself, or the resulting explosion, are subject to blunt force damage and rapid, high heat when the ball explodes that last for only five seconds. The extent of the damage is up to the player, at minimum should cause moderate bruising, and slight blistering on exposed skin from the heat. Solaris can use this magic up to two times a day.
Knight Halle of Lysithea Location: downstairs Action: Shielding group against Solaris's attack, de-summoning as it fades.
As soon as the flashed past the corner of his eye, Halle summoned his shield. Given its size versus the dimensions of the house, those at the door would see less of a shield and more of a sudden wall appear. If they managed to glimpse anything at all in the explosion of the senshi's magic. As soon as the muted heat began to fade, he dismissed the shield, intent on making the most of his own pool of magic.
