Welcome to Gaia! ::

Corrupted Valeria.


Hearing a voice near to her she turned her head toward the sound and stared. Someone was talking to her? Giving a compliment and she had done something good - something right? For a moment she felt a full blown smile tug at her lips and move them upward. She had not had much interactions with others in the Negaverse and her opinion on herself, her position in things, and just...the over all package was lacking but right now she felt good - she felt warm and fuzzy inside even. "Thank you...want to help and my magic can perhaps help a little." She said slowly. "It causes headaches...I don't know if it will work on a youma." Hard to tell given what they were, or weren't, but it was worth a try - right?

On her feet once more she fixed her skirt and bodice, grabbing the single heel she had down her bodice, and threw it at the beetle now. She didn't want to waste her precious magic, not just yet anyway. With her heel thrown at the beetle she made her way, on barefeet, toward the other corrupted. She was petite in frame but she wasn't all that short as she stood at five foot nine inches tall. The heels, short as they were, just made her even taller so she didn't mind loosing them - she didn't like heels anyway. "Valeria...it's...nice to meet you." Shy - she was shy at least right now. "I'm a bit..new...." She was and yet she wasn't. She had been a senshi for a while but she hadn't done much, very little really.

"I can stay with you?" She asked the other. "I was with two Lieutenants and a General - a cat also. But I got separated just now." She said, not wanting to be alone as she was rather new to all of this and she lacked in magic and ability to fight. She needed a mentor of sorts and Ate was it, she also wanted a friend really but now was not the time or place to think of that.

Captain Zircon

Zircon summoned her weapon back to hand, beginning to feel the exhaustion from the number of returns she'd already done. But still the beast stood, and still she was needed for the fight, so despite the fire in her lungs she kept aloft, looking for a place to strike. A part of her, small and nagging and urgent under all the adrenaline, pestered her over and over again: where is Labyrinthite? She'd assumed that the general had escaped the beast easily enough, but she wasn't seeing the shock of pink of his uniform nor the usual blood spray that accompanied his scythe, and it was starting to get to her.

And then with a wicked slice, that familiar ruffle of hair blazed brightly against the contrast of the beetle's shell, and Zircon let go of the breath she hadn't remembered holding. The other officers were drawing close on the creature, Moonstone and Titan and Serpierite and more, so Zircon planned another jump, landing near one of the spiny legs. A piece of its hard outer shell had crumbled away to reveal something softer, and so with all the force she could muster she slammed her weapon into the weak point, using her boomerang like it might have been a hammer.

Rocks fell from the cliff face as the beetle smashed into the wall. Showering down, they bounced off the youma’s shell raining down onto those below. Those that had managed to get onto its back, Xenotime, Typhon, and Marcasite were not safe either. When the horn of the beetle came up again, it flung loose rocks back, some of the heavier ones landing on it shell. Clearly though, that shell needed more than a few rocks to dent it.

Below though, those giant legs stepped and moved the beetle back from the wall. It began to lower its head as the legs spun it in a full circle to throw back anyone that had come at its legs! Once it had made it around once, it reversed and went back the opposite direction!

Attack after attack had damaged its legs, making them weaker. The one attacked directly by Wolfeite and Titanlåvenite seemed to have found a soft point in the one that ended up closest to them. The shell could be broken with some pounding!

Though the corrupt senshi that stood with the agents would find their magic caused might have caused damage but the effects did not seem to stick! At least it did not appear to for Valeria’s was next to impossible to tell if the youma stumbling backwards and crashing into the bone pile to the side because it lost its mind or it was avoiding the strike of Raspite, Leucite, Stibnite, and Natrolite on the other leg.

Bone flying as it fell back, the beetle used its horn to send what remained flying towards the group.

What it missed though was Moonstone’s Wasgo that sent something flying from underneath the Beetle.

The Crystalized Bone that had been jarred free and sent flying by the dashing youma.

Two pairs of glowing purple eyes followed the bone as well. Then, without missing a beat, the Alpha Youmas took off and followed the bone. They were not losing their price.

Lt. Raspite

Raspite did not need to be told twice. He moved with lightning speed toward the alpha wolves. He having to dodge the flailing limbs of the beetle in the process. He leaping over stones and other bones as he made his way toward his goal. He needed to at least get close enough to be of help with the bone. Even if he and Stibnite could not get it themselves, they needed to aid those that could.

He closed the distance between himself and the wolves. He doing what he could to keep above them. He would keep the higher ground and take them down as they came close, his eyes fixed on each in turn while keeping his other senses alert to keep tract of Stibnite.

Lieutenant Marcasite

The rocks jarred her, made her scramble in an attempt to avoid them but failed, one larger rock clipping her shoulder and leaving her gasping and gripping it. Luckily it'd done nothing more than graze her and her shoulder didn't dislocate like it could've. The quick spin, the general movements and the lack of concentration had the woman sliding across the shell and with nothing to use to properly grip, Marcasite found herself tumbling off the beetle's shell around the time that the bone did.

She managed to pull herself in, to land in an organized tumble and while the knees of her pants were torn and the skin beneath raw and red, she came out relatively unscathed.

At least until she took off with the others after the alphas and the bone

Half Youma Captain Wolfeite


He felt the shell begin to give way beneath the ministrations, and Wolfeite felt a savage grin stretch across his face, bared without the cloth that normally hid the majority of it from view. The kerchief was about his neck, and his sharp, vicious teeth were clearly visible as he snapped and snarled at the beetle.

Gloved fingers dug into it - but Wolfeite saw, out of the corner of his eye, the bone that had been on the back of the creature go flying.

He had almost forgotten what their goal was - and now it came back to him, and Wolfeite lunged, his tail a black streak in the darkness, golden eyes gleaming as a low growl escaped his throat. He was dimly aware of passing Labyrinthite, his general a black and pink blur, and Wolfeite saw the wolves ahead.

No, no, he thought, a heady rush of adrenaline searing through his veins. No, the wolves are mine, it's all mine.

Lt. Witherite

The youma had the thing they were after, well at first until it went flying and charging after to the wolf youma. Ever the impulsive one always charging in he took off after the youma and the bone.

"Got dammit, this s**t is ridiculous," he growled out stumbling slight over scattered bone as he ran. "Huntite, Beni," he shouted running, " got dammit the s**t went flying."

He'd think later about he addressed his general later, but it wasn't as though he normally went around calling him by the full mineral name he had. Half their names were just such a mouthful.

That didn't matter though right now because they had to get that damn bone.

Lieutenant Natrolite

The giant beetle stumbled back and Natrolie jumped, slipping on bone and falling to his a** in avoidance. One of the sharper pieces slicing the lieutenant's palm up on landing. Bones, youmas, dust, bodies and a sharp sting in palm were causing a confusion commotion but in the midst of it all Natrolite spotted the crystallized bone.

"Ya gotta be ******** kiddin me!" Natrolite growled and pushed up racing away from the staggering youma he had previously been keen on attacking. That could be handled by the group still doing so, as for him, well his job was to get the damn bone right? So that's what he was going to ******** do.

The Alpha Youmas apparently had the same idea, along with a few other from his side. It didn't matter who got to it first to Natrolite as long as it wasn't someone not willing to give it up for their mission. Back on feet again Natrolite was dodging bodies, bones and rocks moving as if Inline speed skating. Though if he managed to get close enough to either Alpha the inline skating would turn roller derby with an attempted hard elbow.
