Yes, yes he was that much stronger than her. He'd also consumed one of the two starseeds he'd collected earlier in the evening. So while he should have been wiped out, tired and seated in a corner somewhere, he was still up and moving around and obviously fighting. But also it was his determination to not be knocked down and out of this. he knew he'd feel all the bangs and bruises, cuts and scratches, when this was all over and done with and the adrenaline rush left him. But he was ok with that, he accepted that fact.
"I liked to you?" He questioned with a single raised brow. Over the noise going on he heard Osumilite, how could he not? The man was loud, part of his job he assumed, and for a moment his eyes flickered over toward the Captain's general direction. Finding him for a brief moment his attention turned to Tsui again.
He knew he might need the mask later, as much as he was glad to be rid of it for the moment - it was leaving a mark on his face and kept getting smashed into his face. But knowing he may need it back he would get it back from the tiger senshi. Striking out with his spear, using the butt end to attack as opposed to the bladed end.

Tsui had barely, just barely, dodged the butt of the spear that was swung at her but he had succeeded in knocking the mask out of her hands. It flew into the air behind her and hit the floor with a clatter, distracting her from Osumilite's announcement as it rolled several feet away. She risked a glance back at it before turning her attention back to Benitoite; if he had his eyes on that gas mask, then he knew something she didn't, and she couldn't allow him to have it back. She yelled to Camelot and Kallichore as she ran forward and at the general that she knew she had no chance at beating but would never openly admit it or let it hold her down. "Don't let him get that mask!"Tsui refrained from her attack, knowing that it'd be extremely useful right now but not wanting to risk it missing, or hitting her comrades that were behind him. What if she needed it for later? No, instead she was going to grab that spear again, certain that lightning wouldn't strike twice but bracing herself for the blow. She had to slow him down. Somehow.((Calling it a night. Don't wanna, but I gotta. Quote me if you attack, or something. XD))

It was all happening again, their moment of peace seemed to have vanished in an instant. Hygiea didn't even get a chance to get to Eunomia when she noticed the arrows return - or were they always going? How had she not noticed that Iris had been hit, had she been so preoccupied with the youma earlier?
"Egeria!" She called out, hearing the other chibi cry out in pain. When she turned to look, there was an arrow sticking out of her leg making the orange haired girl's eyes go wide. There was an arrow in Egeria! Iris had been hit, she had been hit.. Eunomia look roughed up.. Victoria had been hit by magic... where was Irene? Parth? Nifhel had gone off on his own pursuits.
Sailor Hygiea whipped her head around quickly, in time to notice the red haired woman was headed towards them once again. "Oh s**t..."
And then a booming voice filled the air with an announcement. Wait, what?
- -
Kailash equally turned, confused when he heard the voice on the mic. He turned to his new companions with a puzzled expression on his face.

Cora had been too focused to Dahlia to pay attention to rest of the battle. However when Osumilite's announcement reached her ears her attention was turned away from the corrupt cat who so eagerly wanted to battle with her. It was a foolish but Cora hadn't realized it yet. Iris_virus If you want, you can have Dahlia attacking her one last time before the battle ends. 3nodding Anything except killing is allowed.

As if poor Grus didn't hurt enough, Acubens hit her like a ton of bricks. The Raptor senshi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but just thank god Grus was alright. She pulled away from the hug she'd skidded on her knees into and checked Grus over. Neck, fine, face, fine, two arms, ten fingers, two eyes, nose mouth... everything was as in order as it could have been in that moment. "Alright there Feathers, let's get you and I out of here. I don't really want to be here when the s**t hits the fan... and I feel like it's going to again." Acubens eyes those around her wearily. "Bury the dead. Tend to the wounded. Evacuate the living before they come back." It was all they could do at this point. It felt like a failure. she felt like a failure. And damn it Leto, let me proclaim myself in my faction as a loyal senshi. The Dark Mirror Senshi's protection of her made her seem even more the traitor. Her eyes felt took hot again. Damn it. She cuffed at them roughly, sniffing back what her cool vambraces did not. "Yeah, let's go."

It seemed that Iris had played it safe and ruined Sassolite's toy for now. However, it didn't seem like that arrow that was meant for her been lucky enough to miss any target. It took but a brief moment for ********* to notice that Egeria had been stuck with the arrow intended for her.
Rather quickly, she regained height, and soon enough she was assisting the child pull the arrow out. "...okay... that was a 'my bad,' Egeria... This might hurt a bit..." Wrapping her fingers about the shaft of the arrow closest to where the tip had pierced the girl's skin, she then easily yanked the arrow out.
Quite quickly, the guardian then turned around, kneeling down, then awkwardly seemed to latch to the child's legs so that she was somewhat forced to push her body against the silvery-haired girl's back. "Not going to let you walk around on that injury... so I get to be your legs for now!" With that, the child was hoisted up and soon enough was riding upon her guardian's back, piggy-back style.
"Tell me where to go first, Egeria!"
For a brief moment her ears swiveled towards the voice of an agent who spoke more like a game show host. However, she trotted to Hygiea's side casually.Iris' eyes narrowed at Sassolite. Her plan had gone correctly, but then she had to drag some innocent super senshi into the fray. She knew from previous experience that it was possible to return the starseed to a body if done quickly enough. Using her arm that was not clutching onto the rainbow (which happened to be the arm connected to her injury), she somehow managed to catch a decent portion of the bulk that had been thrown her way. She would not release her rainbow this time! Though she didn't seem to gesture at all, the rainbow itself seemed to react towards this attack by attempting to snatch onto both of Sassolite's legs and pull at her in an effort to trip her.

It was almost fitting that the sometimes chaotic and loud meeting of the Order faction had been swarmed and fully consumed by Chaos of a more literal form. The already crowded room had filled quickly, becoming a confusing confinement as weapons and powers that flew full force. Some attacked directly, others only defended, some even seemed only to attempt to flee. A body count had begun for both side, some that fell did not get up, and would never again get up, their part in this war severed with frightening quickness. Some of the Order members had warned in the meeting how scary the Negaverse and DMC were, but now it seemed as if the members of Chaos were happy to prove it.
There were shows of great teamwork and caring on both sides. Some where people who had worked before and would do it no other way. Others were near strangers, banning together for a common goal. It seemed dire need could help spawn friendships. Two princesses clashed in the rafters above it all. Bombs went off her and here leaving light flashes or smoke in their midst. For awhile the strange smell of coffee swirled through a section of the room. Some halluceniated. Some felt themselves under the influence of a mysterious powder. The reveal of a new princess brought forth a huge rainbow. Despite, or because of all that was going on, it seemed the room was succumbing to Chaos. Even with the princesses on their side Chaos seemed to have the upper hand.
Two corrupted to their sides. Countless bodies littered the ground because of them, some dead, some simply wounded or unconcious. The order side was trying there best, was giving it there all. But it seemed like the element of surprise had given Chaos the upper hand early on, and the battle was a severely uphill one.
The battle was not just loud and rough on the people inside, but also on the building they were in. Over time every one of the windows to their particular room in the meeting hall had shattered and crashed. It didn't particularly matter that the building was empty other than the group of fighters. Smoke and noise billowed out of windows alerting those in the neighborhood. The sounds of crashing and booms and screams and clanging weapons was entirely unnatural and horrifying. Even without the ability to feel the overwhelming convergence of light and dark energy it was easy for people in the area to notice something was wrong. A giant and mysterious night rainbow settled right on top of the building would have clued in even the most oblivious. And it didn't take long for the police station to find itself inundated in phone calls.
The police cars came in waves, like the calvary of an army, coming to surround the building. In a city like Destiny City they had no clue what to expect of the cryptic and frightening calls. So they'd come out almost full force, the cars loaded down with with weaponry and protective gear. Even before they were there their presence was made known as the shrill whine of sirens drew nearer, loud even over the sounds of battle. Inside some people stopped, instinctively wary of that particular noise. The police were not a friend of either side, and with as loud as the sirens were... Well.. they seemed like they might be a force to be reckoned with.
~~~~~~
They had won. There was no denying it, when faced with the blood and grime stained white fukus and uniforms of Order upon the ground. Even their standing soldiers looked battered, some spirits broken, and others angered. Both sides had put on an impressive fight, clashing together in yet another battle in yet another bloody war fought between fanatics in the pages of history.
Of course, like many such wars, the history of this one would remain unwritten.
If the officers of the Negaverse seemed ruthless before, it was more apparent now, as some of their numbers walked amongst the wounded, the dying, to whisper a choice into their ear. Starseeds were ripped from chests, and others were dragged over to where Howlite stood, to be examined. They continued to fight those that thought they had a chance, and even some of those resisters found themselves overwhelmed and not given the choice to join or die. Their own skill in the battle had worked against them, making the forces of Chaos determined to possess them.
The Dark Mirror Court, despite their PR goals, had a similar victory condition, and a handful of senshi, both volunteers and protestors, were brought before Ares.
Unfortunately, or not, their mission was not to be completed. The wail of approaching sirens touched the ears of the observant, and the action came to a screeching halt. The increased firepower of the Destiny City Terrorist Task Force would cause more harm than they were willing to take.
It took only a second for the command to depart came, and with it, a second forceful order.
"LEAVE NONE OF OUR OWN!" It was not a suggestion, General Howlite's voice hard as Zinkenite pumped Chaos into one last starseed, and the Dark Mirror Queen enlightened a final convert.
The mirrors that had been so closely watched, carried in by that squad of Captains, were now of use as the forces of Chaos collected themselves from the battle with startling organization. As when they first attacked, they now truly seemed a team, Officers helped wounded senshi into their mirror space. Dark Mirrors moved their dead into one large, ornate mirror with a quiet reverence. Within minutes, even the mirrors that had remained unbroken throughout the battle were teleported away. Broken and bleeding officers were teleported by their captains, the Generals remaining behind to be sure that all made it out.
General Howlite stooped to pick up the limp body of their newest recruit, slinging it over her shoulders as she surveyed what was left of Order's army, inclining her head to those left standing in what was almost a salute before she disappeared.
As the booted footsteps of countless SWAT members sounded outside the hall, the final warrior of Chaos disappeared from the hall, only the destruction they'd created left behind.
They had not disappeared into the ether, of course, but had gone to DEBRIEF
~~~~~~
They were gone.
As quickly as the forces of Chaos had descended upon the building they were suddenly and completely gone, leaving behind all those that had been at the meeting. Except for those few souls they had pulled into the darkness along with them. The weary and injured members of the Order faction should have been ecstatic. But the scream of sirens outside, voices booming over megaphones, and the sound of doors splintering open were just as terrifying.
Senshi and knights might have been magical, but that magic did not extend to bullets. And what were the chances that the police would be coming in with intentions on talking? Pretty much none. They couldn't hardly fight the police either, the risk of hurting them was just too great. And simply for doing their job at that. There was no way out.
It was almost a certainty they'd be killed or arrested. And neither was an option that would turn out well for them OR Destiny City as a whole.
Another door shattered, as battering rams burst through, splintering wood. The police were drawing even closer, so close that the voices of the shouting captains could be heard inside the grand hall that all the senshi and knights stood within.
Chaos had won. They'd beaten them and left them to be finished.
Some may have tried to escape, others perhaps resigning themselves to their fate. The large door of the meeting hall echoed with a hard pounding as something heavy hit it. Once. Twice. As the third hit landed, shoving the door open with a groan and a loud crack, the officers pushed their way through. Just a mere blink of the eye behind the moment in which everyone inside the room had suddenly disappeared, a silver light whisking them off to.. somewhere.
All that remained behind for the DCPD was a room utterly destroyed and damaged in strange and unusual ways and the bodies of a few unfortunate souls who had fallen in battle. There was no sign of where their 'murderer(s)' might have possibly gone. It was going to be a long night for the Destiny City Police Department.
