Ganymede screamed, but Cybele could see from the corner of her eye that she was still fighting back, even as the two Generals cornered her. Sessrumnir, too, and Vallhalla, and Michel, too, behind her. Everyone was facing off against the best of the Negaverse, and trying. Cybele? Cybele was about to die to a youma. Kamacite teleported off before Cybele could really get her hands on him, leaving her half-useless body in a tangle of whirling, stinging tentacles. His magic still reached her when he called it from the mezzanine, though. She found her eyes burning as she blinked away stars for the second time. That left her with one arm, one leg, and no vision as a lash struck her back again and she whimpered. She couldn't give up, though. Her family was at stake. She'd been interrupted, badly, but she had to reach the others. Her leg complained, but it could move, and with effort she stood and took one step and then another towards the stairs that led to the mezzanine, ignoring the pain that shot through every inch of her body as much as she ignored the youma behind her.

Quote: Mont Saint Michel, Knight of Saturn - Being mouthy to Cymophane and Bloodstone, trying not to leave any openings but not attacking/trying to predict where they are going to attack from
Once upon a time, he’d had two swords, with sharp, hooked edges. He could have cut, could have skewered, could have sliced, could have stabbed. He could have hurt someone.
He was sure that that youma didn’t know what he was talking about. It was a ******** waste of space, a monster who didn’t know s**t.
Michel hadn’t asked about Lysithea here. He hadn’t had time.
It meant someone was saying something in the Negaverse. So, she had to be somewhere. The fragile little Senshi who kept blinding him might have said something, though. He wasn’t clever enough to bring her here. That would have been all Michel needed to get out of their hair. Instead, they’d fought.
He kept his clock hand pointed, ready to swipe again.
“I’m outnumbered, yeah. Congratulations, you can count. You want a sticker or something? I don’t give a s**t what you do with the princess, or them.” Sure, their weapon would have been useful, but he wasn’t sure where things stood right now. Probably not well, given the fact that Jet was out and had his own little army here trying to pick them apart. If the youma could deduce that he was looking for her he was sure its general could, too.
He pointed his weapon at the youma even as he eyed the General; the youma probably couldn’t teleport. The General could. It wouldn’t matter how guarded he was if he could just pop over wherever he wanted to be.
“You think you’ve got a cause worth fighting for? I’m not really buying it. I look at you and all I can see’s someone too weak to find his own power. You have to leech off of someone else. So you play lapdog and get some power out of it. Real glamorous life. You don’t even get to pick your cause, you just obey.”
He scoffed and gripped the weapon tighter; when the General struck last time, he’d lost his grip. He wouldn’t this time.
“I think I can do better than that on my own, thanks.”

Kamacite was going to try to help Carnallite-- or maybe Prehnite -- or Faustite, but he heard Aquamarine’s call for him across the lobby. He wanted to help his friends, his allies. He wanted to make sure Cymophane and Albite were okay too. Lopezite seemed to be in one piece at least.
He grit his teeth and teleported so he was standing near the Princess that caused them so many problems. Because of her, Jet had it in his mind to do something so reckless. Because of Jet, people Kamacite cared about were being hurt. And because they’d decided not to tell Axinite, Kamacite could only imagine how worried he was. The fact that he hadn’t shown up or called them all back yet must have meant that he was going to give Jet and the rest of them a chance to prove themselves. As foolish as it was not to tell the head of the Information Department.
He aimed his attack directly at the collapsed Princess on the ground, knowing as soon as they finished, they would be able to go back to Negaspace.
Solar minimum.Quote: Super Sailor Scout Attack: Solar MinimumAll light, natural and artificial, is disrupted and temporarily absorbed into a single orb over five seconds until complete darkness. Devices with an electrical or magnetized charge (street lights, phones, cameras, etc) in the immediate area are also disrupted and the energy absorbed into the orb. Upon releasing the built up energy at an opponent, the orb explodes in a flash of light and electrical discharge that could cause heat and/or electrical burns (can be just the sensation or actual/lasting damage up to player discretion) in addition to temporary blindness and disorientation, which can last upwards of thirty seconds. Light and electrical in the area is immediately restored upon the orb exploding. It does not have to make contact with something to explode. It can be dispelled by Kamacite without exploding if necessary. Has an effect radius of 10 feet (although the flash can be seen as one would see any flash), and can be used twice.

Quote: General Faustite's Personal Youma, Headache — Adding to the building's dustiness Quote: General Faustite — Feeling it
Some of the youma were gone. Faustite flinched to the sound of another thunderclap.
That one was driven, quick to rage. Strange to think that they'd once had a conversation whereas Faustite was trying to pick a fight. Now he'd gotten one without asking for anything. Without saying a word.
In the brief respite, while he listened to his own breaths crackle in his chest, Faustite looked out to where Kamacite had vanished. He seized all light with him, until the area grew so dark that it was a hole in the world. Faustite shut his eyes. Another flash. He thought he'd seen the Princess in that mess, grounded, wings stripped, bloodied.
Hope you're watching, Squiddy. Even if it wasn't me who got you your revenge.

A Senshi appeared, his aura as dark as his hair, as the gaping hole in his chest, and the corresponding one on his forehead. He was slight, and meek — the sort one might overlook in a room full of Generals, with their blades and their fire and their decisive commands.
Darkness fell, then a brilliant flash of light.
Ganymede stared through it, her gaze cast toward the stairs, up to the mezzanine — to Valhalla.
She couldn’t see a thing.- As soon as Kamacite appeared, Aquamarine left the Princess where she was and dropped in front of Jet. He kept his back to the darkness, and the light that followed; he put his arms around Jet, kept Jet’s head against his chest, blocking the flash, shielding him from the effects.
When the magic ended, the Princess was motionless on the ground. Tears slipped from her eyes, but she made no sound. Aquamarine held Jet for a moment longer, touched his hair fleetingly, like he couldn’t help himself, then released him. He went over to the Princess, grabbed her by the arms, and hauled her to her feet. He shook her once, but her head lolled and she collapsed against him.
She had no fight left in her.
We did it.
Aquamarine looked at Jet, at his wounded leg and his matted hair and the blood that dripped from his face. He thought, once they succeeded, once the Princess was caught, maybe it would all be worth it, maybe the danger Jet accepted so readily would make sense.
He looked at Kamacite, here at his request. He looked at the Princess — bloody, weak, but alive.
Once, seven years ago, he stole a prisoner from Jet and claimed the victory as his own.
This time, he waited for Jet to stumble to his feet, and threw the Princess into his arms.
“It’s over,” he said. His voice trembled with rising emotion.

Jet hissed and growled through the pain, his hand shaking as he grasped at his injured eye. He tried not to think too much about the pain, knowing that Aquamarine would be able to hear him. He couldn’t get himself up at that moment even if he wanted to, so he was grateful for Aquamarine to help shield him from whatever magic Kamacite released at the Princess.
And then Aquamarine was back up, and he forced himself to ignore the agony he felt and hoisted himself to stand as well. He swayed on unsteady feet for a moment, unable to tell if his left eye was still there or not.
But Aquamarine was hauling Ganymede to her feet. He could hear the words in his head, and then was momentarily surprised that Aquamarine would shove her to him. Jet grabbed her, his bloody hand holding tightly to her arm to keep her from collapsing again or trying to escape, and he nodded to Aqua.
“Agents! We have what we came for! Move out!” he called to the others, and then teleported with Ganymede in tow. Quote: Unless there is anything you would like to post to wrap up, you can consider this fin! Thank you so much!

General Prehnite - Thunderbolt and Lightning, very, very frightening me! Time to Go!
Prehnite had never been more glad to hear the word 'go'. With the Jupiter knight bearing down on them like a titan of old Greek mythos. With fiery, sun and darkness surrounding all at once. An eclipse of epic proportions. Prehnite was very much ready to be done and gone.
So long as Jet had his prize, the rest hardly mattered.
He scrambled to a better stance and tore through space to Carnallites side.
Reached to snag a handful of what felt enough like her in the near pitch black - and yanked, unceremoniously, carelessly. He'd apologize later. So long as he didn't accidently drag Valhalla along with them.
It'd all be fine.
Faustite's little pet beasties could run loose in the aftermath and chew on whatever remained once they were well good and gone. With that thought in mind, the one thing that made him smile, he took them both *home*.
xSunshine Alouette Val, Kama, Sess, Carnallite.
