Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cora's focus moved up, towards her little senshi again. Her tail swiped at her bunny slippers few times.

"Like I said, I was following one of those youmas and..."

The cat's sentence was interupted. Her ears picked up the clicking sound of thousands little feet running towards them. A quick gasp escaped from her mouth when she simply stared at them. They were going to attack her, they were going to Hypnos, they were going to attack Zirconia. In a panic, Cora shut her eyes tightly, waiting for the pain to hit.

Until she remembered something.

The fluffy cat was unprotected. There was a youma flea army coming towards her. She needed to act.

With a shocked yelp, Cora jumped over the long-haired guardian, in the between of her and charging youmas. Just in time she was as right after she had arrived there, the youma attack hit on her. A whine of pain escaped from her while she was trying to protect Zirconia.

The steam had been effective. MORE than effective. It had destroyed the number of youma in a blast of hot steam. What number had been thrown on there backs were now dead. Their blue lights dimmed to a dull grey and making the place a lot more dark. As for the others, they had scattered in a panic. Some jumped about to find a safe spot and wound up back INTO the steam, while a few even managed to make it over the steam that was blowing across the floor to the other side to head off to the next room. What few were left were collected against a wall and a row of crates, seeking the cover of the dark, dry cold and regrouping.

The damage had been done on both sides, and both had taken their beatings. Now only a small swarm, the youma were more thinking of ways to escape than ways of fighting back. The only problem was that they were trapped. The entrance to the other room was blocked off by the steam and the other side was blocked off by chibi senshi and the guardian cats. It came down to who they wanted to take on more, and the youma seemed to be wanting to take their chances with the chibis and the cats instead.

It was time to make a dash for it!

As a swarm, the group raced off to the open door that the chibi senshi and their cats had come through and that meant they were coming at the group to get to the door behind them. If any were missed, they would be free to escape back into the city.

Egeria saw Hypnos fall and crawled over to her.

"Heyyouokay?" The words just slurred into a larger word as she tried to make sure that Hynos was okay. Egeria was still feeling really weak but there was only so much that she could do right now and really getting Hypnos fighting would be a good start.

"Come on we need to get them..." She looked around the floor again, there was enough rubbish on the floor to throw at them, some harder then others but she wasn't being picky, whatever she could lift she threw at them though she stayed by Hypnos wanting to make sure that she was okay. She hadn't even seemed to have been hit when she fell over so Egeria had to wonder if that had gotten to her earlier while she had been sleeping.

Either way she threw as much as she could, offering stuff to Hypnos to throw at them as well.

Cora watched as the small youma swarm started to head towards her, her little senshi and the unconscious guardian cat she had been protecting. She dodged one flea youma that was jumping right above her head, trying to prevent the other cat from getting any more damage.

The situation, it was still quite confusing to her. Apparently things were calming down as there was only few of those youmas left. She looked at Hypnos, feeling a bit sadness when the child's worry was so clear. At least to Cora, it was. After all, she was her cat.

There was no way Cora could go after those youmas. She was a protector, not a fighter. Also, attacking them when her senshi didn't do so.... Well, it felt like a betrayal of sorts.

But there was still a way to be useful in this battlefield.

Cora turned her focus towards the cat behind her. She still hadn't woke up. The turkish van leaned downwards, near the floor and spoke in quiet, tender voice while she reached to nudge her cheek, an attempt to get some reaction out of her.

"Heyy, wake up. The danger is over. The youma swarm is gone."

Regardless if Hypnos wanted to fight or not, the youma met their end quickly. Sluggish from heat and in a panic, their last charge was met with a swift end, and what remained was a room full of bodies either cracked open or boiled on the inside, and a lot less light. What few bits of blue glow that remained were on the other side of the steam that was billowing out of the pipe and across the floor, all moving into the next room. This fight was over, but there was still a dark presence and plenty of powerful signatures blipping on the radar. It seemed the chibis and guardians' work was not yet done.



((Battle Part 2 will be posted in a day or so that will be open to all powered players that want to join. For now, you are all free to talk or wrap up your post with a indication that they avoid the steam and head on over to the next room or with whatever choice they decide to do (go home, wait for backup, etc). Thanks for playing and for your patience!))

Hug-bell stiffled a yawn as she looked around they were all finally dead, she moved towards the cats. Pulling, out a small snack for *********. She always made sure to have something for the cat. She didn't know Cora or Zirconia would've been there so she didn't have anything for them. There was a small frown as she slipped ********* the snack cake.

She then moved over towards Zirconia. "You okay?" She stooped down, running a hand over some of the fur to smooth it back out, "We got them. But there's still the negaverse."

There was a pause, "Do you want a ride in my hood or are you okay to walk?"
