Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sirius had been thrown a lot further then she would have liked, in fact she was out of the battle and she cursed herself for it. Why cling to something that she knew could vanish? She took the time though to look at her arms, they were red from the stings but that first attack, that had completely gone. She would remember that for the future though, she had never been in so much pain from an attack before.

Part of her wanted to go back to being a little girl, one that could curl up in the corner and cry but then she saw the general she had just been fitting and the child at the end of the spear.

Children should never have been part of this war.

Sirius had little care of the war that was going on around her, she was still on the floor where she had landed. Her eyes locked on the child, her heart filling with hate, but not for the general, for whatever cat awakened a child that young.

Something big had happened. Vespa wasn't sure what as his energy wasps were finally beginning to fizzle away into nothing again and finally allowed him to hear something other than his own cries of pain and their obsessive buzzing. He wasn't sure what it was that happened and to be honest the smell of blood was unfamiliar to him so he wouldn't have smelled it when General Mica plunged her spear deep into Biela's gut, but he could tell that something big happened. Before he could take in the scenery, however, he had seen a senshi with platinum hair unleashing an attack on one of their generals, and any sort of common sense that Vespa had was gone from his mind. He didn't know what the attack was or what it would do, but he knew that he couldn't allow it to hit his commanding officer, and so he rushed to intercept it, closing his eyes and bracing for impact.

A smarter person would have grabbed the general and pulled him and himself out of the way, but unfortunately for Vespa, the idea came too late, and the ball of electricity struck against is shoulder with a vengeance, causing a pained cry to emit from his lips once more and sending the corrupt senshi falling back at Benitoite's feet. Between his own attack and her's, Vespa could see darkness creeping up on the outskirts of his vision and he tried to fight the pull to unconsciousness, knowing that if he blacked out now, there was nothing to save his commanding officers from another attack. His arm and shoulder felt numb and made pulling himself up too difficult a task, and he gave a groan, apologizing to the general he was sprawled under. "Sorry... sir... I didn't mean... to fail you..."




Mica didn't take any particular pleasure in the display of raw emotions coming from the senshi that tried to revive her victim, and she
figured she'd simply have to fight the other two off if they ever overcome their sorrow, but the sound of Vespa's pained shout caused the general with the bloodied weapon to pause in her approach and look back at him. As eager as she was to continue the fight and claim three starseeds this evening, she couldn't ignore her duty, and she gave an annoyed sigh at the wasp senshi's antics. "Someone pull the wasp from this fight already, before he gets himself killed."

She'd likely have to tend to his wounds this evening, assuming he survived the ordeal, and she turned her attention back to the three directly in her path. Maybe ONE starseed would suffice, and she brought her spear at the ready, not caring for their grief or their age at all. And enemy was an enemy. "Come."

Biela was right, and thank god, the girl was still conscious, still standing. There was a chance to get her out, to get her somewhere to be helped. Persephone stood up, trying to ignore the blood on her hands and smearing her fuku and really, properly everywhere, that was a very nasty wound.

She scanned the building for something to cover their retreat, and her eyes fell on, of all things, a dirty discarded lighter. "Move, move, head for the back as fast as you can," she said, diving for the lighter and flicking it.

Miracle of miracles, the ******** thing worked.

"Start ******** running, everyone," she said. Her eyes flicked to the door in the back. "Dionysus, make sure everyone gets out. Do you understand me? Biela first, but get everyone out. I'll follow as soon as I can." And then she touched the lighter to one of the wooden crates.

It caught.




Natron growled. He hadn't really calculated for one of the Senshi being ******** insane, willing to light the building to cover her and her team's escape. "s**t," he growled, backing up very rapidly.

"I'd say this would be a good time to get going," he said. How many Lieutenants were there? Were there enough Generals to carry them all out? At least he could teleport at the last minute, once he was sure every Nega he'd brought here was out of the building.

No Chaos soldier was going to die on his watch.

Dionysus was already on moving Biela before the words even left Persephone's mouth. "You heard the lady. Move your ******** asses!" The boy barked. "Someone grab Alruda and make sure she get's the hell out of here!" The blonde yelled as he pulled Biela's arm around his shoulders, his own arm going around her waist to stabilize her. "It's gonna hurt but we can't stop moving till we're outside." Dionysus said as he started moving.





"s**t.." Azurite hissed, watching as the fire slowly spread. "Your brilliant plan is literally going up in flames General. Make sure your people are out." Az turned on her heel right then and there and bolting for Cyllene and the pretty blonde corrupt that had spoken to them earlier. "We need to leave darlings. Now. Things are getting out of hand." Spinning Cyllene on the spot and giving her rum a little nudge she ushered the girl forward before grabbing the blonde senshi's hand and leading him out of the frey. "We'll get something to wash that out."

Aludra didn’t have much time to think about why the Negaverse Agent had put his weapon away (maybe it he planned on throttling her with his bare hands?) because a moment later Sidouer had stepped in and Aludra nearly let out a sob of relief as the older senshi took her place in front of the chibi and attacked. Another bad guy (the senshi version this time) stepped in to take the blow.

Then the Negaverse got to Biela.

The chibi had taken a step back and she heard the shout, looked up to see her fellow senshi dangled on a spear like the fish in that fish and chip logo near her house. Her knees began to tremble and her eyes went wide with horror. They weren't just trying to hurt her team, they wanted to kill them. Aludra wanted nothing more than to go home and cry on her mothers shoulder and forget about everything. She could barely look away from the blood.

Then Biela rose to her feet and the fire Persephone had just started was spreading. Aludra lunged forward, grabbing at Sidouer’s hand and trying to drag her backwards out of the building. “We have to go now. Please let’s go.” The spear guy was still in front of him and even with an injured ally on his arm, he still looked dangerous.

When the group stormed the empty warehouse, Lieutenant Vanadinite went in with fists formed and ready fly. She wasted no time in throwing herself into the heat of battle, and she had been mostly successful in her endeavors. It wasn’t until she heard the cry from a Captain she had not yet met instructing them to kill them all that Vanadinite stopped. She was getting ready to move onto her next victim when the smell of blood filled the air, and she glanced upwards to catch a glimpse of a young Senshi on the end of a General’s spear. It was almost creepy how little emotion showed on Vanadinite’s face as she took in the scene in front of her. When the young girl was tossed aside and a fellow Senshi ran to her, Vandinite scoffed and turned away. Emotions had no place in war- especially when your team was getting beaten to a pulp around you. Clearly the White Moon had no idea what they were doing, even when they formed teams.

It wasn’t until the area around her burst into flames that Vanadinite snapped out of it. She took a quick look around herself, trying to figure out an exit strategy. Unlike many of the others involved, she lacked the ability to teleport and would have to make it out alive on her own. Slipping between crates that were engulfed in flames, Vanadinite moved as fast as she possibly could towards the door that they had busted down to get in to begin with, one arm covering her nose and mouth to avoid inhaling the thick black smoke. Her eyes began to water as she turned to get one last look at the room that was crumbling in their wake- Senshi and Negaverse Agent alike scrambling to flee the scene with their lives- the speared and bloody Senshi included.

“We shouldn’t let them get away alive,” she muttered under her breath.

But as the world literally went up in flames around them, Vanadinite realized that there was nothing she could do. As much as she wanted to do her part and rid the world of the White Moon, if she burnt to a crisp she no longer held any value. She would just have to make up for it next time.

Cyllene winced when the first crate went up in flames. She looked down at Adonis and bit her lip, “We have to get out of here, I’ll lead you out okay? I--“ She was cut short when Azurite came up behind her and grabbed Adonis’ hand. Nodding quickly she took his other hand and moved with the two other Corrupt Senshi as quickly as possible with one of them having acid in his eyes.
While the Negaverse may have been more ruthless in killing the opposing side, she was endlessly grateful for all of the kindness and support that she had experienced since joining- the way they worked together proved to her that she had made the right choice.

Gilbert's hand didn't really register, but she knew it should. It was on her waist. Does it feel squishy to him? He's not flinching away at least.
"It's gonna need pressure, so don't be shy."

Biela had gotten as far as turning, the were starting for the back of the building away from the fire, hoping there would be a window or loading bay or something. Then she was off her feet with a primal noise, and gripped the body that had her, initially worried it was an enemy.

It was Persephone.

"You're gonna get wet, " She wanted to think it was all just drool. She could feel how heavy her fuku ribbons and skirt was against her thighs- like a pool towel when the bottom edge got dipped in the water and floppy and useless. "I can run for a minute or so. You should be grabbing someone. "

But she didn't really mind. Persephone felt so warm and Biela could feel herself shaking worse and worse like she should technically feel cold instead of numb. It was nice that someone was there, when she was hurt. It was exactly what she had hoped for in a team, even if it was the situation she was hoping to avoid by joining one on the very night of its inception.
