 The meteors had been unexpected, and had caught them all unawares. It wasn't anything good, and now, they were merely attempting to survive, hidden in a cave away from everything. This was no fun, and anything that would help make things better Cora was up for doing. "I'm willing to help," she said, when Little Star asked. "Anything to make this better."

When the asteroids had hit, she had hid then and she was hiding now, huddled behind as many of the others as she could, nearly touching the damp cave wall and hating herself for it. With a delicate cough that did nothing to quell the deep worry within herself, Princess Red stepped forward and finally spoke up. "I will help in whatever way I can... I-I shall not hide... Anymore!" Though her voice wavered a little, she at least felt strong in her conviction. No more of this staying behind and watching the others fight! She would help too! This was her home and these were her friends and they were all in this together and she was ready to pull her own weight! Though she was still desperately nervous over the whole matter, sitting down on her haunches to twist a few strands of her hair between her front paws, Princess Red looked around to the others and tried to stifle the whimper growing in her throat.

"There's no way I'm backing down from this!" Wishing Uranus stood at the entrance to the cave, the fires behind her leaving her frame a silhouette. She glanced over to Wishing Luna before giving a nod to the rest of the group and a wry smile to the tumbled Wishing Moon. "It's good to see that so many of us made it." She didn't say more than that. She didn't say that a part of her had been worried about losing the other soldiers. Family was very important to her, but she couldn't let her head get fogged up with the emotions of loss. They all had a job to do.

Little Ves wasn't sure what to make of all these falling pieces of rock that was so dangerously close to her well taken care of crimson fur. "Ahh! get away, get away, GET AWAY!" could be heard from the skies as she weaved her way through the field of disaster before setting her sights upon a cave that looked like good refuge from the barrage. So Ves made a bee line toward it, paws light and dancing her way there, until a massive piece of stone came into sight from her right, and closing in on her. "Gotta take a leap of faith in there!" and with that, she lept in, tumbling her way toward a graceful looking white creature with wings of the purest feathers known as Supernova, ungracefully on her side with her fur all rumpled and a hairbind or two were loose. "Ah, i'm so sorry, please forgive me, it was very scary out there!" she pleaded, hoping they would understand her plight. Wow. There's a lot of refugees here.

Toru, who had been lying down on the floor near the entrance of the cave, slowly rose. The reflection of flames danced in his eyes as he stared at the massive destruction that enveloped the world beyond where he stood with the others, clustered together in this confined space. Finally, he turned towards the others, and nodded. "I'm in" He said simply. His eyes hardening, and the orbs on the ends of his antennae glowing dully, an almost smoldering and angry light. His gaze surveyed those who were still with them. So many were lost, but it was good to see how many had also made it and were willing to do something.

"Fear doesn't matter as long as it does not stop you from acting. When we choose not to act, we become cowards," Uranus looked over at Ves and gave a quick nod. It was meant to be of approval, but with her tone of voice you couldn't quite tell.
"We'll all have to be brave for this, no matter how difficult it is!"

"Uranus is right. We cannot let fear stop us from what we do best." Star Healer spoke while approaching slowly. Bright green eyes looking at the short haired blond. "Right now we must all do our very best, and help those who need help in being brave enough to handle this." Like others Star Healer had been scared and worried over the falling rocks. He'd even hidden as far into a dark nook of the cave as she could. But that was before. Now he was over near Uranus and another. He wouldn't hide, they had to work together and help each other through this.

Saggy perked up as more and and more of her Brother and Sister Zodiacs became present in the cave with her, sighing with relief as Purin huddled up beside her. She gave her a few quick licks to rid her of soot, "Oh I'm so glad so many of us are okay!" She hissed, glancing over her shoulder to see if she could still spot Nobody. But the trouble with Nobody was you never knew if nobody was there.
Everyone was filled with such outrage or terror, or at least releif at seeing their friends and family safe from the horrible burning death from above, and the little Zodiac wasn't quite sure how she was felling. A little bit of everything? Shock, more than likely. She wished she had a bright plan, a sense of direction for actions to be taken but the ball of fluff was unfortunately, at a general loss.
When the Deathcharm unfurled into the cave, though, she tensed, eyes wide and tail stiff in anxiety. Well... well... well good the more the merrier! Even if.. they were somewhat terrifying.

Hearing Saggy's voice made Cora's ears perked up, and she moved over towards the other Zodiac. "I'm glad we're okay too," she said quietly. "I just wish that everyone was here with us."
She frowned briefly. Hopefully they had found someplace safe to hide, even if it wasn't here with them.

Seeing that the other Zodiacs were beginning to gravitate towards each other, Toru decided to leave the entrance way and move towards them as well. The heat from the flaming destruction outside was hot on his back, but began to cool as he padded further into the cave towards Cora, Saggy, and the others. Antennaes bobbed in greeting as he inclined his head towards them. It made him feel better, and stronger, and even slightly safer to be near so many of his 'kind'.

Ves spent a moment righting herself and smoothing out her fur, staring at the rocks destroying her home. Their home.
"There must be a way to fight against this, the question is, how?" She asked to her companions, as much as she wanted to charge straight in and go all Leroy Jenkins to the source, a plan must be made.

Saggy brightened to see her family coming closer, giving each a sniff or a lick in excited greeting before nodding firmly to Ves's words. "There's certainly enough of all of us left! We have... practically a small army!" A small fluffy army, but one with claws and teeth in every mouth!
Except Nobody's she wasn't entirely sure he HAD a mouth.

Wishing Moon had stewed quietly when she fell on her face. She saw the upside down smirk that Charon gave her, and managed to stick her tongue out despite her positioning. She hadn't expected to be lifted up, however, and she started writhing around helplessly. "Gettoffgettoffgetoff!" She curled just slightly, even though she was still upside down, and put her paws up like boxing gloves. "Okay buster, you let me down right this instant or I swear I'll- Oh, hi Prince Rose!" She had found herself quite inexplicably wrapped in his cape once more, which was nice. It felt safe here again. Certainly safer than the mouth of the cave..
Of course, when she felt the pawing of Prince Rose on her fur, she turned a lovely shade of pink all over. Had she really gotten all dirty? "Ewww.." She had, and she seemed quite unhappy about it. Her unhappiness was tempered with the deliriously comforting feeling of Prince Roses paws grooming her.
Well, maybe slime wasn't so bad after all!
No, it was.
She shook her paw clean, and buried herself deeply in her Princes cloak. It was warm in there, and smelled like roses.. roses and slime. No, wait, ugh - the slime was her, wasn't it. Well THAT was embarrassing. At least she had a new distraction to keep her from thinking about it - Wishing Uranus! "Awesome, you're okay! I was worried.. I mean, just a little." She gave Uranus a cheesy grin.

Aurora's presence cheered Silver significantly. Finally, someone else who was actually trying to do something! And then several others joined in, as well. "Right! If we're going to focus on the problem at hand, we need to start somewhere." She turned around in place a few times, brow furrowed in thought, before lying down and placing her head on her paws. Finally she spoke again. "The first thing we'll need to do is find out why these rocks are hitting us, and who sent them. But where should we look to find that out, and how do we do so without putting ourselves at risk from the attack?"

Uranus raised a fluffy eyebrow to Wishing Moon before responding: "I have the same sentiments, but I'm still not sure if you're okay... it looks like you're being strangled by a gaudy cape."
Prince Rose had always rubbed Wishing Uranus the wrong way. It was something about his speeches. More than anything, he just came off as a creeper.
But Wishing Moon adored him, so what could she do?
