Subamara searched quickly, holding her breath against the decidedly unholy stench of the derelict church interior. At first glance, there wasn’t a lot around. The pews themselves would be too heavy, and the rest was disgusting rubbish all over. She kicked about, dislodging papers and things she didn’t want to try and identify.
The best she could find was a crate, not too huge to be immovable. Inside where an incongruous set of glass bowls. She didn’t know what they could possibly be here for, but the bowls themselves could definitely be throwable. Bending to heft the large box, something else caught her eye beneath a pew, gleaming amongst the trash. Keys could be useful in close range, her self-defence teacher had said, or ohhh! Mace! The can was teeny-tiny, but she grabbed it anyway, clipping it by its carabiner onto her waist sash for just-in-case.
She’d already been away too long, and the feel of chaotic signatures was stronger than before. Pushing the whole crate out into the street, she surveyed the situation, and found it more youma-filled than she remembered. On the plus side, the general had stopped to bandage himself, and Athene’s shining beads were flying at the dreaded purple captain. She almost cheered. Liryn and the other senshi didn’t seem to have fared badly either after her abrupt departure. Which left the youma. The knight already had some contained. For the rest, maybe she could help with that.
“Heads up!” she called to her friends, and forcefully upended the crate of glass bowls in the direction of the closest youma. Some smashed immediately, while others rolled, cluttering up the battlefield with obstacles.
Was this helping? Possibly not, but she believed it was better to do something than just sit around and worry.

A crate on the floor sat full with a large number of glass bowls. Perhaps if smashed on the ground, they would provide a too-dangerous area for fighting. (5 DMG, accuracy -1 for all parties in the area This is not a zone effect.)
Watching as his two youma were grabbed up by her vines and bound and dusted he shook his head. At least they had helped and done their part. They were dead now, dusted, but they had helped in him bring that knight down a bit. It was as he watched them crumple and blow away that he remembered something...oh yes. Grabbing something from his coat pocket he pulled out the object, which was a moment later revealed to be a starseed. He needed it, he was injured and he was starting to get light headed and dizzy as he stood there watching the two youmas dust and blow away.
Parting his lips, though it hurt his jaw, he slipped the item past his lips and felt his teeth crack the objects shell. He imagined it was like biting down on a crystal and it breaking, provided a crystal was hollow and not solid.
The energy boost was needed but the minor healing was even more needed, as it cleared his head a bit. Shaking his head and feeling some of the pain ease a bit, becoming a bit more tolerable. "Go. Attack her." He said pointing at the knight as he gave the order to his remaining youma. He didn't hesitate either in moving in to attack her, he made to hit her in the face with his fist. He let his youma do as it pleased in regard to attacking her as well. He didn't care what it did so long as it hurt her.
With two of the youma taken care of Shalott let the vines wither as her magic dropped. The transition between her magic and anything physical was minimal and though she took damage from the youma, and that hurt like a b***h, she was determined not to lose focus on the ringleader. Beni's hit miss. The youma didn't. She was feeling the burn, so to speak, but it wasn't enough to make her quit.
And then there were bowls littering the field. She had to tiptoe around them but if she could push the general over he might get impaled by an awful lot of broken glass. That was what she aimed to do, not even talking anymore with a determined look on her face. He deserved this. More than. She wasn't letting him slide anymore.
"I takes more then choking on your Racoon fur to kill me!" Hania was prepared for the attack the other cat made, though not ready enough to stop getting hit. Fur went flying as the tackling blow sent them tumbling and the order cat yowled at the rabbit kicks the larger cat made then he bit down on the closest part of Tiberius, whether it was shoulder, neck, leg, he didn't care. Just because he was taking the most damage didn't mean he was about to give up now.
Not impaled but he did wind up a sliced and cut up mess when he landed, thanks to her push, on the glass. Enough of it was sharp enough to get through the layers of fabric he wore, though more of the damage was taken by his legs. Biting back the sounds of pain as much as he could, whimpers and whines escaping, the General found himself trying to roll out of the mess of glass. He couldn't focus enough at the moment to teleport, without fear of winding up somewhere he didn't want to be.
This fight was not what he'd expected, it was harder than he planned on it being, but he was not giving up and he wasn't going to run. He was a General...he didn't have the luxury of running away from a fight. he had a Captain here and who knew who else from his team was involved in this battle. He would not be seen to be retreating by his own team or anyone else in the Negaverse - it wouldn't be right. "Get her!" Shouting once more to the youma, wanting it to handle her before it vanished, as it seemed to be having second thoughts...or was getting hungry and planning to take off to find food for itself.
Summoning his weapon he stood slowly, using his weapon to help him to his feet. Ok, he was calling Arseno when he got home...or maybe he'd follow one of his own home and calling Arseno from there? So Aiden didn't see him like this? He really hoped his cousin wasn't around to see him being beaten like this....he didn't need that. Whimpering his legs shook and bled, he could feet it rolling down the backs of his legs as they shook under his slight weight. Biting down on his bottom lip he forced himself upright and lifting his weapon he threw it similar to a javelin - right at Shalott.
Shifting, crying out as he did so, he turned and bent enough to look at a piece of glass sticking out of his leg and wondered, for a moment, if dared to pull it out. That really wasn't likely to be a good idea...damn it...it hurt and stung but removing it might be a whole lot worse.
The remaining youma does 10 flat damage added to what Beni's role deals for damage. I believe this is it's last turn on the field.

Lieutenant Huntite
He was honestly just planning on heading over to the hot zone straight away before leaving the battle grounds all together. However just before he moved into the Red Zone he had spotted a familiar General who looked to be having a rough time of things and in need of help. So he ended up taking a brief deter to make his way over to Benitoite, planning on helping his General out in some form or fashion depending on the situation. When he was closer he looked around and saw the different opponents facing the small man, the injuries Benitoite had gotten and felt a mix of fury and concern well up inside of him. He quickly ran over to the General while the youma and thrown weapon as hopefully distracting the Knight and both Senshi. "General Schörl called for withdrawal, time to leave General." He said to Benitoite, ready to pick the General up and get him out of there.
He did however spot Witherite and another Lieutenant(Forsterite) nearby as well and was quick to call out to the Captain. "Wither! Get the Lt out of here! Retreat has been called, no reason to stick around longer!"

General Benitoite.
Swaying a bit on his feet he turned his eyes onto the lieutenant coming his way - one of his. He took the time to look him over and with some amount of pride he noted he wasn't so beaten up. That was good, very good, he was glad the other wasn't so hurt. He didn't want to see his team hurt if he could help it, even though he knew it would happen it it did help with growth.
"A retreat? Has she got the knight then?" He questioned the other. He hadn't heard the retreat called but he knew the other wouldn't lie to him either. He couldn't leave though...not yet....Witherite was still here and there was a lieutenant as well.
Moving to take a step he staggered as his legs shook. It was at the last moment that he caught his balance. He may not find the knight useful to them, he had one damn arm, but given the effort the negaverse had put into gathering him and corrupting him...they better have gotten him.
The remaining youma does 10 flat damage added to what Beni's role deals for damage. I believe this is it's last turn on the field.

Captain Witherite
Witherite frowned unsure what the eternal was doing, but he had a feeling it was magic ... magic slingers always resorted to magic. He took the moment to send the youma after the eternal and hopes of circumventing the attack, but he was a moment to late ... his summoning youma had cost him. The ball of beads floated over to him and he quickly shuffled back away from them preparing to teleport when they rearranged themselves around him and he glared at the eternal.
"The ******** is this s**t," he shouted at the other moving forward and taking his weapon to try to smash the ring. He found that it did no good and that he couldn't move beyond the ridiculous ring. He could move inside it, but he appeared to be ******** magic slinger ... what a cowardly move," he shouted angry that he was a sicking duck in all this and he couldn't attack the eternal, but at least he had his youma.
He turned a moment later hearing Huntite's voice and groaned when he heard about a call for retreat. He was stuck in the stupid ring of beads and he couldn't run, even if that was the command. He really wanted to murder the damn eternal and stomp on his starseed for good measure. He shout Huntite a look moving toward him, but being stopped by the barrier ... ******** magic.
"I'm stuck," he growled out, not wanting to admit it, but retreat or not, he wasn't going anywhere at the moment.

"I do not know, Sir." Huntite said shaking his head. "All the message said was to withdrawal from battle." He eyed the wavering General who didn't look like he was leaving any time soon then promptly scooped him up. He was about to high tail it out of there when Witherite's words stopped him. He was trapped here and if he took the General then he would be with out back up beyond the Lieutenant.
"Hold on and I'll see what I can do!" He quickly moved over to where the Captain was and temporarily set Benitoite back down so he could hit the beads with all he had. It was gratifying to see fifteen of them break but it clearly wasn't enough to bring it down.

Lt. Carnotite
[Entering Green!]
She'd figured they were just going to leave. But considering her lack of luck with combat, Carnotite chose to stay close to Huntite, in part due to the blatant fact he seemed more capable than she. Not to mention she could enjoy some of the sights, a nice little balm to her bruised ego.
And bruised abdomen. Damn that kid...
But as Huntite paused to assist others, she bristled, glowing eyes keying in on the Knight, and an Eternal, though she was unfamiliar with the General and Captain, and other lieutenant, also present.
The Captain (Witherite) at least, was in a predicament. She eyed the beads with a small air of curiosity and amusement, noting it wasn't enough for just Huntite to strike the barrier. "Grab the General, darling, I've got this," she said simply to Huntite before she stepped towards the barrier, lifting her metal hands as once more electricity began to collect and crackle in the air around her.
Focusing the energy in her hands, she pressed them to the beads, pleased to see the electrical output disrupt the remaining pieces of the barrier, the last beads breaking under her energy. Lowering her hands once the last of the electricity did it's work, she smiled sweetly to the Captain. "Shall we then?"
HP: 87 / 110 DMG: 17 damage to beads (no acc. roll needed) 15 - 17 = Beads gone~ Effects: Electrical charge~
It was odd, and perhaps a bit discerning, knowing the other General was calling for a retreat. That meant there was no winning this, and that displeased him, but it didn't tell him if they had obtained the knight or not. It wasn't that he needed to have the knight turned to their side, he didn't, but he would at least like to know. More important though was his Captain though!
Crying out, right into Huntite's ear, in pain he whimpered and pressed his face into the others shoulder. He couldn't believe the embarrassing sounds he was making and how weak he had to seem. But honestly...he had glass sticking out of him and he was a bloody mess - literally. "I'm going to get her starseed one day." He ground out, it hurt talking, he needed to get those words out...a promise of what would come for Shalott one night. He would one night kill her...
"Put me down Huntite..." Being manhandled and moved about was not helping his situation as it upset his stomach. He really wasn't feeling well...and he was grateful when he was set onto his feet, even if they shook and he wanted to just let his legs give out from under him - even if it would drive the glass further into the back of his leg. Looking to the bright, lightbulb bright, lieutenant he wondered for a moment about her...a half youma and very interesting to look at.
"Huntite..." He called out to the other. "Get Witherite....need to leave. I can't keep us safe..." He wasn't even sure he could teleport them - all of them. A Captain and three lieutenants...he was sure he couldn't manage it right now. "We need care." A hospital wouldn't do either - too many questions. Arseno was an option but would he? Was he here fighting? What about his elder cousin Hudson? Where the hell was he?
Purplish eyes gave the tawny-haired Lieutenant a flat look, because she was talking about overwhelming a target with numbers even though she and the other Negaverse members actually outnumbered them.
Not that Liryn was particularly worried about Order being outnumbered - at least outnumbered here - because he had faith in Athene and Subamara and in the Knight taking on the General and in the others gathered here...
And he was doing his bit too.
Her blow connected and Liryn swung a clawed hand at her in answer, frowning a little as the tawny-haired Lieutenant (Forsterite) blathered on about putting on a decent fight.
"Putting..." his voice trailed off at the sound of Subamara's voice and he ducked - just in time as it happened - as something went sailing over his head.
Other things were falling and shattering, purplish eyes taking in the glass littering the ground, a part of him hearing Athene calling on his magic in the background.
"Watch out for the glass" he said in warning to the brown-haired senshi (Aquila), as he heard cursing break out from the direction of the Captain.
Another Lieutenant (Huntite) approached and whilst Liryn's focus was on the tawny-haired in front of him, he could clearly hear the words 'retreat has been called'.
He stepped back and away from the Lieutenant and whilst Liryn kept a clawed hand at the ready, he didn't attack "Your people are leaving."
And whilst he didn't say anything further, hopefully the implication was there that he would let her leave too - well at least as long as she didn't try anything further.

Wither watched the eternal as Hunting made his way at him, hoping the youma would keep the buttwinged boy occupied. Hunting struck the barrier, but despite destroying some of the beads the barrier stayed in play. He growled and narrowed his eyes at the eternal ready to just rip his head off, but the sight of an interesting lieutenant (Carnotite) distracted him.
Wither watched other seemed to gather electricity aiming it at the barrier. He backed up quickly, but kept away from the beads not waring to be fried. Her little trick seemed to work and Wither gave her a nod as the beads fell away. He looked to the lieutenant that had been fighting the the cat and a senshi before pulling a starseed out of his pocket and shoving it in her hand. He pointed to the general (Beniotite), "give him that, down thè hatch. It will help. Hopefully enought to get you out ... otherwise you can try giving him a bit of your energy real quick."
He headed toward the lieutenant (Forsterite) grabbing hold of her shoulder, "good fight, but we have to go." He knew he shouldn't try to teleport with her, but he had little choice. He would have to just teleport straight to Beni’s because he'd be wiped as soon as they landed and wasn't sure how that would go for him.
Making a run for it, leaving youma, may they meet again,

Forsterite; Lieutenant
“Heads up!”
At the warning that was called out, Forsterite looked up, only to find that it had not been meant for her side. It was the brunette super senshi (Subamara); she was back again and armed with a...crate of glass bowls, evidently. Not that she herself could criticize since her own 'weapon' was a mere parachute harness. The glass, when shattered, posed a much greater threat and suddenly it became a lot more difficult to maneuver without the threat of being cut up. The unshattered ones made it easy to trip over their clear, domed forms, which was not something one wanted to do on a field littered with bits of their broken brethren. Forsterite froze, uncertain of whether or not to move.
Not everyone had the luxury of staying still or otherwise keeping out of harm's way, though. The general (Benitoite) looked to be in a critical situation once the knight he was fighting knocked him down onto the glass shards. Forsterite tried not to panic, but she had no idea what she could do to help. Luckily, another lieutenant (Huntite) showed up just then to spread the word that the Negaverse forces were withdrawing.
While the bright green-eyed agent appreciated his arrival and attempts to assist, she couldn't help but feel a little miffed at him. First he was ordering around his superiors like they were his peers and then he was referring to her like she was beneath him instead of the same rank. Just who did he think he was to be talking like that?
He was doing more than her, though, she she really had no room to complain. She detested being idle herself, but she couldn't think of what to do. The captain who had winked at her before (Witherite) called out to the male lieutenant that he was stuck and as Forsterite looked over, she realized a number of strange, magical beads seemed to be forming a barrier that must have kept him from even doing so much as teleporting away. It had been amazing that the captain had lasted this long against an eternal senshi, though, she thought. He certainly had guts to have tried to take them on on his own.
Once again, the bearded lieutenant made himself useful by heading over to try to smash the beads that were keeping the captain in place. Forsterite was shocked. She wouldn't have tried something so reckless without at least testing it first since she figured the consequences might not only have been detrimental to her, but to the trapped captain as well. Maybe reckless was what they needed just now, though, because the action paid off. A good number of the beads were broken.
What remained of the beads were soon destroyed by yet another lieutenant (Carnotite), female like herself, but far more peculiar-looking and, evidently, more powerful. Puzzled by the other woman's appearance, Forsterite almost couldn't tear her gaze away even after the captain had been freed.
So much was happening so fast and she didn't mean to slack off, but she was hardly able to comprehend what was going on right before her eyes, let alone what she could or should have done. She preferred to plan her actions, not just wing everything! In the heat of battle, though, she was quickly learning that wasn't always possible. They needed to retreat, evidently, and they needed to do it fast before those of the Order finished them off.
The general was still doing his best to keep control of his team, instructing the still able-bodied male lieutenant to collect Witherite so they could make their retreat. Was she supposed to retreat too, then? It seemed so shameful since she had just started to take on her first proper opponents and had fully expected to fight until either she or they fell. Looking at it from a more practical standpoint, however, perhaps that wouldn't have been the best strategy.
The eternal and knight aside, there was still the transformed guardian (Liryn), the basic senshi (Aquila), and the super senshi she would have had to defeat on her own. Even if she'd been anywhere near a match to them power-wise, their numbers still far surpassed her. She had her dignity and pride, but not enough to convince her she was stupid enough to take them all on and live. Forsterite wasn't happy to acknowledge the Order Guardian's comment that 'her people were leaving', but she knew he was right. It would have been folly to continue their fight now.
What irked her most was the cat boy's implication that he was allowing her to leave, as if she needed his permission and he was so gracious to grant it to her. But before she could even open her mouth to protest this, she felt a hand on her shoulder and jerked in astonishment. It was Witherite, and he didn't look to be in such good shape.
"Captain," she breathed, concerned. But before she could do or say anything else, her superior had teleported them both from the premises.

Red and blue flashed brilliantly while cops trickled into the area. Carefully they encroached on the epicenter of conflict, the fair few blocks where many still locked in combat. The ring of police closed on the locations, isolating them, and soon the cops departed from their vehicles to take up stance behind their doors. The procedure was familiar by this time, and those caught in the frequent crackdowns on powered mayhem were by now highly acclimated to the drill. Soon, a megaphone blared with the imperative to stand down and disperse from the area.
They would wait, naturally, for compliance. The police were known for their terribly finite patience, however; prudence dictated that one leave before further consequences occurred.
