Welcome to Gaia! ::

Despite everything that was going on, Perseus grinned at the appearance of Eternal Castor. Had she been a different sort of woman (or not a woman at all) she might have held out a hand for a brofist. But this was neither the time nor the place for such things, so the scout turned back to business. "It's nice to see you around Castor."

After that, she turned her attention elsewhere. Pasiphae was a sweet soul, she knew that from running into her previously. She strode quickly through the crowd to give her a reassuring glance. Physical contact had worked to calm her before, so Perseus figured that she would try again. War was a hard thing to live through, particularly in the beginning. Before she got there, however, she saw Pasiphae reach some kind of resolve. She was proud of the girl, and so she turned her bright blue eyes elsewhere. As if on cue, a lieutenant near her (Pyrite) had a hand on a civilian. Another civilian had already intercepted her, but Perseus didn't like either.

Perseus moved towards the clock Nega, moving to detain her and possible take her to the floor with her, careful to avoid the attacking civilian. "I thank you for your efforts, but magic fights are no place for civilians!" Kyn was being helpful, but her energy was still in jeopardy. And with the way she was attacking Negaversers, her star seed as well.

(ahaha lamest attack ever)

“I’ll try to get one of the exits cleared” Athene said to no one in particular as he wrapped his sash round his waist an extra time – hey he’d learnt something from that first encounter with that horrible Lieutenant Benitoite – and this was not somewhere that he wanted to end up tripping over his sash.

As he picked his way slowly towards one of the exits, the dark-haired senshi tried very hard not to think about the fact that his cousin was somewhere inside this... Chaos. Lieutenant Benitoite – had tried to make out that senshi were the bad ones – And this was supposed to be good?

There was a blue haired young man (Jarosite) near one of the doors leading out. “I don’t know why you’re doing this, but you’ve got to stop.” Athene bit his lip anxiously, before trying to tackle the Negaverse agent.

Harper had attended the city council meeting in hopes of hearing the civilian side of the situation with The Surrounding. Though she had followed the actions of the "terrorists" long before, there were different motivations at play these days. Now, she was a part of this alarmingly secret battle that bobbed to the surface like an iceburg, with the gaping majority of its bloody actions hiding quietly beneath the waves. There was no confusing it with urban legends. She was looking from the inside, outward -- looking at where she once was and comparing it to wherever she was now.

The best laid plans, as they say.

Rolling panic struck the building when the barrage overtook the doors, windows, and even the ceiling. Harper was initially too shocked to even move as this unknown senshi viciously killed the mayor's wife. This is what they were not supposed to do. Grabbing onto the coattails of that thought, a feeling nudged at her. Yet, it was shoved away. She reacted like a civilian, and quickly fled behind a small, spare podium that had been pushed to the wall to make more room.

As Harper crouched there, the feeling returned with more gusto. No, these could not be senshi -- not what Penelope and that kitty and herself were. Something was intuitively wrong. It was all but confirmed when she noted other sailor-suited heroes powered up around her. A shaking hand took her henshin pen from her bag, but it was a strong grip that shouted, "Nyx Power, Make Up!" Golden light and shadowy darkness intermingled in a process that was at once as old and familiar as it was unknown. Despite the pleated skirt and bows, the knowledge that she now held some sway in the fight was empowering in itself.

Now if she only really knew what to do with it.



Jeff Stack, Squire of Mars, recognized the dog and pony show for what it was the moment General Painite crashed the scene, bringing a gaggle of poorly sailor suited minions with her. The large building filled with civilian energy, the ability to barricade everyone inside, the political implications -- he had to give them credit for a good plan, but that was certainly as far as any sort of admiration went. He would enjoy destroying it. Finding a secure place to transform, he slipped his boomerang from its holster and called forth the armor and power of Mars.

When Jeff emerged, civilians were already beginning to drop, their energy drained. Senshi were throwing themselves between the dark agents and their prey. "In this case, the best defense is a good offense," he said to himself, gritting his teeth as he charged ahead into the fray.

Oh god it was just her luck wasn't it? She had to pick a fight with a civilian who'd fight back. Not good at all. She figured she'd mess up somewhere along the lines. Of course it would be with the one thing she thought she might be able to handle. God damn it all. Wincing as the civilian got her jaw, she could taste the coppery blood in her mouth and the pain on her lip. A split lip. Not the worst but after this whole thing it'd still like a b***h.

And a senshi too. Joy of joys. Her a** was so going to get kicked. Staggering at the hits landed home, Pyrite was going down. Not without a fight however. Her weapon was summoned from subspace and she flung it out at the civilian.(Kyndall) Payback could and would be a b***h. Sort of like her on a bad day, just with more violence.

The nega he'd hit/barreled into slid backwards from the force, and seemingly decided that simply finding another target was a better strategy then trying to fight through the knight to get back at the already partially drained one. Upon the retreat Bimini looked back to the man that had now fallen to the floor, kneeling beside him to check on him, before trying to usher him up and to safety. "Are you alright? Let's try and get you out of here."

It was hard to keep track of anything with people running this way and that way. Her hands laced around the wrist of another person running by, calling out. "Here come this way! I'll keep you safe"

"Ahhh! Let go!" She shrieked, her purse swinging to whack the Cosmos page in the head as he stumbled back in surprise. She thought he was bad? The very thought brought a very unhappy frown to his usually jovial face. But there wasn't really time to argue with her as she ran off again. Grasping the weakened man from before, he continued to try and pull him away from the action and towards the edges of the room and the blocked exits.

It was all very very confusing. Even with attacks being thrown back and forth between powered people... Todd did not and could not equate the fact that some of these 'terrorists' were helping. Terrorists were terrorists.. he didn't have any reason to believe otherwise.. and the apparent in fighting? It must have been rival gangs of terrorists or them fighting over who got to do what with their prey.

Noone specifically came at him.. not yet atleast.. But people were going down left and right.. and he wasn't just going to sit here like a moron. There was a lady in the middle of a lot of them (Kyndall) and he couldn't really see what exactly was going on but hits were being thrown and she appeared to be trying to fight her way out. Chivalry wasn't entirely dead on him.

Chair lifted to waist height he ran towards the group, taking a wide swing at the first 'terrorist' he encountered Perseus.

((Sorry Perseus XD))

If anything the sound of fighting was growing more intense. Kathryn gingerly exited the cubicle stall that she'd taken refuge in. It did no good to stay in here. She wasn't one to hide when people could use aid. Settling down her shoulder bag the woman glanced around for any feasible weapon. It wouldn't be wise to rush out into the middle of the fray without something at hand. Kathryn's gaze swept her surroundings before stopping on a toilet plunger. She grimaced. It was not exactly what she had in mind. But it was a weapon and it could at least deter someone from attacking.

Re-holstering her shoulder bag Kathryn moved forward with a purpose and grasped the plunger tightly. Her walk of confidence faltered as she stood at the doorway that separated her from the chaos beyond. Giving herself no time to balk at her sudden decision Kathryn threw open the door and observed the melee before her. The green haired lady that had been speaking earlier was in the middle of the room surrounded by those that had dropped in and apparently some newcomers. It looked as if that battle was raging and Kathryn's bravado faltered. Gripping the plunger more tightly she ran towards the "terrorist" that she'd seen snap the neck of another towns person. (Painite) She swung the plunger wildly as she ran.

((Sorry guys XD Confused civvie is confused and doesn't like ANY terrorists))

Despite Europa's best efforts Todd Gray would not be so quickly swayed by words. Didn't people say that ALL the time? Even the worlds most famous psychopaths had often thought that they were in the right. That they were saving the world.

As if to help solidfy his worries, she shouted something at someone else and he watched in terror as the person seemed to crumple down under the pressure of something without her even touching them.

WTF!? Terror, adreneline. He was one human in the midst of more then a dozen terrorists. Terrorists that apparently had some pretty badass weapons of destruction and were very dangerous. He did not want his wife to be a widow tonight. So his hands tightened around his chair once more, running towards Europa this time, swinging wide once more at the eternal senshi. "We don't need help! We just need a city empty of terrorists doing whatever they please!!"
