Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh god that was a horrible experience.

Carnelian stood there with claw marks on his face and shirt, fur covering his lovely (black, why did it have to be black) coat looking utterly scandalized. In the meantime, things were still happening in the battle and the fighting grew worse. With the feline dislodged, Carnelian quickly redid his hair, vowed never to own a cat at any cost, and went about protecting the door as much as possible. Were there more senshi now than when they started all this? Where'd they come from?

Wonderful, now they were attacking Painite. Eventually, the other senshi would come for him and then what? Carnelian didn't want to think about that. It could mean being covered with more cats and -- gasp -- possibly little children with little fists and little shoes. He could only imagine the world of pain he would be in for then.

So many people cluttered in such a small area.. it was a disaster just waiting to go down. Who knew if it wasn't the plan in the first place.. To get everyone so focused and concentrated in a single area and then just mow them all down in massive moltav cocktail of doom or something. Why else would the negaverse have let themselves become so outnumbered.

"When you're not attacking the door fall back a bit. Make room for others to attack and make sure you're not making yourself an easy target" Sailor Polaris called out to anyone who might listen to the bit of advice.

Should she attack the door again..? Or perhaps go after the dark senshi or growing number of negaverse.

And then she saw the arrow zip past her sight. She KNEW that enemy. Knew how dreadfully deadly that enemy was. And with all the children senshi around.. and all the people not paying attention to anything but the door...

"Sassolite!" The eternal senshi of magnetism yelled out, spinning until she caught sight of the archer. She might not be able to stop the arrow shooting towards Perseus in time, but maybe she could keep her from shooting anymore. She ran full force at the captain, hellbent on knocking the b***h to the ground if she could.

Okay.. maybe she was getting a little too excited.. Everyone beating on the door made Sailor Juno really really really want to take her turn at the door. Why they were trying to kill the door? Who knew. But whatever they could do she could do better. She could just see her foot smashing through the metal door like RAWRRRR, in dramatic action movie slow motion.

Begging puppy dog eyes turned to Chibimoon. "I want to hit the door real quick!"

"You stay here safe and I come right back after it! Please. Please!!"

It was a ridiculous request for what could possibly be a dangerous situation. But one hit might not hurt.. Eyes lighting up in delight as she got her okay Sailor Juno crouched before taking out in a full run. And when she was close enough to the door, her hands went down, slamming against the ground and sending her feet and entire body weight against the door.

Gee.. certainly noone would guess that Juno might be the girl that had done incredibly similar feats at the talent show.

"HOLY ******** s**t," screamed Babylon, dropping the table and doing the bob-and-weave to avoid the spear. Not cool, man. Not cool. He hadn't been tracking Painite to know where she'd come from, but she was here and she had a ******** javelin and she was going to put someone's eye out with it in about ten seconds.

Babylon took a few moments of undignified, useless flailing to recover his wits. He grabbed his glowstick by an end, decided that now was as good a time as ever to figure out if the dumb thing had any real combative use, and got to his feet. He held it out in front of him like a beacon, or a shield.

It was neither, and he got a good, deep scratch on his cheek for his efforts.

"Guys?" he called to Valhalla and Ganymede. "I think we better bail."

No, bailing was definitely a good idea. As soon as he could shake this b***h, he was heading for the door.

Ganymede noticed the arrival of even more chibis, but was a bit too preoccupied with the table to make sure they were staying out of harm’s way. He hastily glanced over his shoulder a few times to see that none of them were being attacked, and turned back just in time to dodge out of the way of Painite’s spear. He managed to keep a hold on the table somehow, ducking low and supporting the side of it with his shoulder, doing his best to stay out of the way and using the wood as a barrier.

He muttered a variety of expletives under his breath, glaring at Babylon. “Don’t just flail around like a useless idiot!” He shouted at him, hoping Valhalla and Maenalus had enough sense not to react in the same way. “Grab onto her spear and ram her with the table!”

Sailor Arsinoe stood on his rooftop perch and surveyed the battle. It was like so many others he'd seen. No organization and no direction.

The door though .... everyone seemed to be trying to either destroy it or protect it. Whatever the Negaverse was hiding was in there.

The only problem was that between the senshi and the door stood a Captain and one of the corrupt. His jaw clenched for a moment as he thought about the senshi who had lost themselves to the darkness. How could they let themselves go like that? How could they think it was right?

Pulling out his lantern he lit one of the various sticks he kept with him and smirked. The whole place was made of wood and a little fire couldn't hurt. Blowing on the small tongue of flame he release his attack aimed at Carnelian.If his aim was off at least he could be assured it would hit the building the b*****d was protecting.

"Or you could not do that," Painite said with a grin on her face, "I mean, I'm right here. I can hear you! I don't even need a spidey sense, if you lot are just going to announce your attacks like pokemon."

Two pop culture references in one go? She would have to take a moment to pat herself on the back for that one later. Of course, she hadn't meant pokemon so much as digimon, but she was only familiar with the games for both, and none of the rest of it.

Not that children's monster shows were important at the moment.

She liked the look of the blood on Babylon's face, and followed up her attacks by following him. she swung her javelin but her managed to grab it just as he was directed to do. She looked at his hand on the Spirit of Mr. Saddles, then at him and growled. Her vision was still playing tricks on her, like she had been subjected to a large and surprisingly painful photograph, the shadow of the flash barring some of her sight.

She would not abide letting knights touch the weapon, save when they were on the end of one of its points.

So, when the knight pulled at the spear Painite tugged back, waiting for him to try and tug with more strength before making the spear vanish. It was a cheap trick, much like in playground tug o' war. She charged forward, calling her weapon back to her hand as she lunged at Babylon.

She was aware there were other fighters close by, but being only one person she could not focus on all four, at least she had counted four, at once without leaving herself even more vulnerable and accomplishing nothing. If she could take one of them out, then it would be worth it.

Babylon tumbled backwards when the spear disappeared from his hands. He hit the ground hard and had the breath momentarily knocked from his lungs. Briefly, he saw stars. These cleared to show that the nega had gotten her spear back and was now rather intent on sticking it through his sternum. "AHHHH ********," screamed Babylon, rolling into a fetal position. The spear hit the ground exactly where his chest had been moments before.

The page rolled twice and then scrambled back towards the table. "Guys, guys," he wailed, clinging to the edge and hauling himself up to his feet. He shot a look at Ganymede. "Hey, pretty, pleeeeeease tell me you have a plan."

Because he didn't, and Painite was still on his tail. Babylon scrambled on top of the table, narrowly moving away from the tip of the spear. He kicked clumsily at her as he scrabbled across the top of the table - none of them connected.

His hand hit air. A moment later, Babylon tumbled backwards off the table and wound up clinging to Maenalus's sash. "s**t, s**t, s**t," blubbered Babylon.

Upon her feet smacking the door Sailor Juno was flipped off uncerimoniously by gravity and inertia landing on her green skirted bottom and back. She hadn't gotten through, but atleast the door was beginning to look bent and beaten thanks to all the assaults being thrown at it. The feeling seeping through the cracks in the door was both jarring and unpleasant. So Juno gave the door one more kick, before leaving the chaos of the group to return back to her hidden princess.

It seemed they might be right. If the feeling behind the door was any clue, they might need Princess Chibimoon after all once it was down.

"Something is behind the door" She reported back cryptically, trying to catch her breath.

-------------

She didn't know if Niflhel would follow her or remain with the larger group attacking the door. On the safe side she figured she'd best rely on herself and not on the fact that he might be around to save her. But at the same time.. it seemed worth it to throw herself into danger and get dragged out into the danger of the woods if it kept Sassolite from sending out any more arrows.

"You've been a thorn in my side for a long time" She called out as she quickly braced the distance between them. She could still recall their first meeting when those deadly arrows were still just capped in rubber. Sassolite had been a much better hand on hand fighter back then, but luckily Polaris had picked up a trick or two along the way.

"Maybe we can see about ending that today"
