Nodding once to Howlite he drew his own weapon. Taller than he was the paintbrush would do well with smacking and batting away rubble being thrown. As he moved to do just that. A glance to the pink clad Captain, whom he didn't know. Time to protect the youma as he swung at some flying rubble.
Thinking back on what Alunite said, as he saw the Eternal senshi of...something, he pulled out his communication crystal. "We have an eternal senshi here, attacking the youma." He hoped the one who made the offer would hear him and come to the aid of the Great Youma.

The Squire watched with distant yet oddly focused eyes as his shield managed to strike the beast hard, and saw the way it reacted. He had injured it, in some small way. He needed to stay on top of it, so to speak. Perhaps not literally, as he would be murdered, but he needed to keep attacking now that he had the idea.
Except his shield was now in its grip.
He had to get it back.
Something in Camelot snapped, and he charged at the youma at full pelt, running for all he was worth. He had no weapon now, just his armor to protect him and his will to keep him going. It was more than enough for him, or so he seemed to think, as he barrelled toward the creature.
It had his shield. He was not going to lose anything else to this thing. Not another person, a friend, an enemy, and certainly not his shield.
Camelot leaped and threw himself let a human battering ram, slamming his shoulder into the thing's leg. What was he trying to do? Throw it off balance? He wanted it to focus on him, swing at him. Give him a chance to get his shield back. Of course, it had other limbs to use then the one it was holding his weapon hostage with, but that didn't occur to him at the moment.
He did see others attacking, going for eyes and one with fire. He felt invigorated by their presence, their shared effort. He heard Valhalla but didn't answer. For one reason or another, speaking was not at the top of his priority list at the moment.
Another voice caught his attention, though, and he leaped back from his attack, stumbling all the way, his head spinning though he was standing still now. He looked at Navi and felt a rush of something. Terror? No. Regret? Sorrow? He watched her, then slowly began to shake his head at her words, his body trembling.
"We protected them! All of them! We couldn't fight against this! We tried!" he heard himself yelling back, but his mind had not chosen the words. Instinct, maybe, to defend. Himself. The senshi and knights. Make himself feel better, though he partly agreed with her. "Your people were the ones who brough--"
His words were cut off abruptly by her fist to his face, and he staggered to the side, pain shooting through his jaw, straight down his neck. Stars leaped in front of his eyes, but again instinct took him. His hand shot up and grabbed her wrist as she was pulling it back from the attack. He looked at her, expression fierce.
"The blame doesn't matter right now! They're dead and more will die! Do you want that?!"
Then someone, Sugilite was latched onto his hair, and he let out a surprise cry of pain and frustration. The kick to the back of his knee brought him down to them, body bent awkwardly because of the hold on his hair. Sailor Thisbe's voice was a welcomed interlude in the middle of all the chaos.

It was almost unbelievable, the way the senshi were simply breaking through the rank of Negaversers, ignoring them to go for the beast itself. Howlite tried to control her anger, jaw tightening at the sight of Draconis and Nemesis daring to close in so near, surrounded by their enemies. Draconis fled, like the little girl she was, but the more intimidating senshi continued her attack.
"Stop. Them." She gritted out, a hoarse shout to the surrounding agents of chaos, as she found herself running for Nemesis' back, attempting to tackle the far stronger senshi, to her own detriment. If it worked, it wouldn't just be Nemesis that hit the ground hard.
When she made contact, she began striking, her fists fast and violent. Merciless. She could feel Nemesis power, and surprise was one of the only strengths the lieutenant had against her abilities.
Hopefully, she'd get some back up, before she was destroyed.

[posting from my phone, so I'm sorry for any mistakes!]
Celsus reached towards Hygiea, putting a hand on her shoulder to squeeze it gently. He said nothing; there were no real words to describe the pain he felt for the loss of the civilian lives, so he merely kept his mouth closed.
He turned to speak to *********, express his apologies at not seeing the people she looked for, but before he could, a familiar voice drew his attention away.
Chronos was here - his princess.
Their princess.
Despite the fact that Celsus had only spoken with Chronos a few scant times, the ingrained bond he held as a Knight of the Zodiac Court prevented him from feeling anything other than the strongest of loyalties towards her. It was the same with Viro - that loyalty that drew him automatically towards the other members of the Zodiac made the pain of everything magnified.
Especially seeing the awful despondency and loss etched in every line of Leo's face as he stood beside the Princess.
"Come on," said Celsus, giving a firm nod towards Peklos, Bifrost, Menthe, Eliza, and the rest of the Chronos Knights.
He was not beside the Princess when the barrier fell.
The sound reached his ears first - the horrible, awful, rumbling. And then the flash of blinding white light that had Celsus throwing his arm up instinctively to shield his eyes. Through the brief and paralyzing blindness, he could hear Leo's voice above everything else.
Protect your Princess.
Celsus did not hesitate.
"To the Princess!" he shouted to the other pages, and as soon as the light dissipated, he made a break for it, running across the Surrounding until he found her, standing with Leo, Flora, and Peklos.
"Forgive my lateness," he said, and took his place in front of Chronos, arms outstretched to protect, his body tensed and ready to defend the Princess of the Zodiac.

So when they told Kestrel to keep away from eternals, no one bothered to explain what they were and so as Howlite ran after the senshi with shining blue hands, Kestrel ran after. Kestrel however went for the eternal senshi's hair. She had no idea how to fight, she had no idea how stupid it was going up against a BMC senshi but she knew nothing, she did know pulling hair could really hurt and so thats what she did. She tried to take a fistful of the senshi's hair and pulled as hard as she could.

Sugilite winced as the rock hit her on the side of her glasses, jerking them accross her face. She quickly letting go and looking around for the source of the projectile, turning on the senshi while rubbing the side of her face that the rock had struck. "We are in the middle of what appears to be a full out battle my dear, I don't believe it's time to worry too much about combat etiquette." Stepping forwards, she began to move towards Thisbe, slowly and careful. Behind the heavy lenses of her glasses, she sized the other girl up, trying to find the place that would hurt the most if she dug one of her heels into it. And she would do it with relish, the side of her face stung from where the rock had hit.

And a fight it was.
While more went to offer their services to protect the princess, he knew that each person away from her side was one lest gap in her defenses. However, he would rather like for her to move out. "Always behind a wall, eh Princess?" He called out, moving in. "Never want to really get your hands dirty in actual battle. How can your side call us monsters when you allow innocent people to be taken to this place and then work to fight for you and DIE for you. What a great leader you are." He called out to her, moving in as he started to spin his weapon. There was no need to get too close as he wasn't about to tangle with her entire force. No. He could stab and poke and prod until he hit, and if anything, it would just continue to prove to others how the princess allowed herself to be protected at the cost of others. "Let's see how much blood will spill on your behalf."
With this, he threw his blades out directly at her and wondered who would take the hit. There was enough senshi and the like around her that it made them a easy, clustered, target. (( Directed to the group protecting the Princess.))

Ah. Some action, then. There was an eternal going for the youma, as Benitoite had said...
And Howlite was going right for the eternal. God damn, if something happened to her, Fluorite would murder him.
Still, even without that fact, he would have broken into motion. "Total Eclipse !"
The beam of darkness went straight toward Nemesis.((Eternal Sailor Attack: Total Eclipse ! As before, Alunite calls out his attack, but this time moves his fingers to frame the hole on his forehead - his gaze focusing on one opponent. A small beam on energy shoots out of his forehead, very quick and hard to dodge. If the beam hits its target, it is then plunged into total darkness, as if suddenly dropped into the dark side of the moon. While they might feel like they were dropped somewhere strange and foreign, it is in reality only an illusion. The target is unable to see anything, and thus somewhat defenseless - also, while in the shadow of the eclipse, any positive energy attempt on the person (healing, another senshi attack) will fail. The attack lasts 20 seconds before it fades, and Alunite can only use it once a day unless he has consumed a starseed or energy. ))

Her eyes left the youma for a brief second to glance over her cousin so that she could ensure that he was well enough to actually be fighting as opposed to sitting on the sidelines somewhere. She would drag him off to one, somewhere, if she had to... She had all but threatened to do it once before.
He seemed well enough, though, so a quick glance was all it took. "We're not getting ahead. We won't be getting ahead until each and every one of them has either fallen... Or been purified." If there was even a way to do it; if the fairy tales were more than just stories... She was beginning to wonder with how dark things had gotten; still wavering in her thoughts, although not nearly as much as she had the last time her paths had crossed with Zinkenite and the dark senshi in the graveyard.
"It can be hurt, though. If it can be hurt... It can be taken down. Guard my back?" Her brow quirked as she gave her cousin a quick glance before taking off at a sprint in an attempt to make sure that her next attack on the youma was fired off at a closer range.

He knew he should wait, he was only a Captain, but he couldn't permit the senshi to continue her assault on the youma. Gripping his brush he went in for the attack. Rushing toward the black and purple dressed senshi. Ignoring the buttwings, he had to ignore them or he might back down.
Lifting the large brush he brought it down with as much force as he could. "Back off!" Hopefully that Corrupted eternal senshi showed up and soon...he wasn't going to wait though and allow this one to continue. So till back up arrived...
Blond hair flew about his face, it really was getting in the way, and a trickle of blood from the previous fight trailed down the right side of his face down to his chin. His coat fluttered about his slight form.
Slate eyes were wide as he looked to Kestrel. "She's too strong for you!" He wouldn't let her risk herself getting involved in this fight. She was too new, she didn't even know the danger she was getting in to. At least maybe with him here as well the new dark mirror senshi wouldn't be outright killed. "You better be able to run, and fast, if she attacks you!"
Ahh, he was here! Good, they had back up. He didn't like the idea of ganging up on a senshi, or anyone, but right now the youma and it's life was important and priority number one. So the senshi would be ganged up on.

Satisfaction split the girl's face in a manic grin as her fist collided with the knight's jaw. Yes, that had felt amazing, even as the aching sting of the impact throbbed along her knuckles and up her wrist and arm. It wasn't enough though, she wanted more, and she gave a cry of frustration when his hand closed around her wrist to halt it's second back draw. "Let me go!" She was glaring at him even as another attacked him and brought him down to his kness. A Negaverse by the look of her clothing, and that cold smile spread anew along pale, fragile features. His question made her laugh, and she she used his grip on her wrist to yank him towards her, knee jerking up towards his chin. "I want you to die." The voice was her's, but the malice behind it, the words, that wasn't Felicia. She'd never been this cold before, but she'd also never went through anything so traumatic in her life. She wanted them to suffer.

"How about fallen." He still thought the best way to deal with any of the Negaverse or the senshi they'd corrupted would be to kill them. At least that way their stain on the universe would be removed forever. Shaking his head at her order he dug around in the rubble until he found what was probably a broken piece of piping and hauled it up like a bat.
With that in hand he took off after his cousin to keep any of the Negaverse or who ever else away from her while she worked on helping take down the creature.

When Virgo reappeared on the Surrounding, it was like she'd never left--to her, anyway--and it was almost a relief, after the oppressive silence of space. She had a split-second to realize there were no mountains on the Surrounding proper--there was one on Capricorn if she remembered it correctly--and then they were falling, and the armored man she was still strangling flailing at her.
When they landed, the blonde senshi shoved Hematite away from her by the grip she still held on his throat, letting him go with only the beginnings of lurid bruises and a semicircle of bite marks to tell the tale of what she'd done to get back. The bruises The taste of blood was thick and cloying on her tongue, but as she breathed she felt the rush of oxygen into her lungs.
She loved the way there was air on the Surrounding, and also how she didn't explode in zero pressure.
There was no time to lollygag or reminisce over basic amenities provided by her space home. She could see the battle was beginning, there were more Dark Mirrors than the last time, the youma was roaring, and Virgo felt--Virgo felt alive. She yanked her veil off her head, threw it high overhead. Her Princess was encased in an abiding green glow, as she had been before Virgo went over the edge before; perhaps as an apology for vanishing, she focused the protection of her shield only on her princess.
She would have to kill Hematite, that rat b*****d, that coward, later. Time to help destroy this youma. Virgo hefted a rock and hurled it at the monster's snout. That's what you did with animals, right? Punch them in the snout to assert dominance?

The hits in the snout, legs, and stomach were shaken off like a dog shaking off water. In response it put its foreleg back on the ground and, steadying itself, swung its tail out in a sweep through the crowd. This left its jaw exposed again, and the one cracked claw was still holding fast over Camelot's shield. HP REMAINING: 274

"Maybe you should worry about combat etiquette, my dear..." She murmured from beneath her hood, tilting her head just enough that the other girl would be able to see bits of her sea green eyes peering out from beneath it.
"Even if you're not, you should at least have the decency to pick on someone your own size." A light shrug of her shoulders accompanied a light smirk that she hoped would do a bit to hide her anxiousness. She had never gotten into a fight before... A real fight. Kick boxing had always been De's thing, never hers.
De isn't here to protect you right now, Abby.
She brought a gloved hand up, extending it just enough to beckon the other girl forward. "C'mon, Glasses. Show me what you've got."
