Knights and plenty more gathered. And then the chaos inevitably started. But with as many as were there now- the hooded fire thrower, Europa recovered from her fight with the Princess, Valhalla who he didn't expect would do much fighting, meant the two generals and lot of lieutenants and corrupted were well looked after.
But this is no location where power is controlled, and the whole damn city is down. There isn't time for this, no time to pit the saving of three against the city.
Thraen, senshi of gardens, leapt down from his vantage and vanished to the dark. There must be other nexus of signatures. There must be something along the power grid- Youma, more agents unfound, or otherwise.
The arguments presented by the many- we should all be engaged elsewhere. So be it.
Aeeth
Thraen is moving on.

Leda glanced about wildly to look for her teammates. Maia left to join Gunn while Ganymede engaged Buddingtonite. So where did that leave her? Lost, mostly.
She caught sight of an unfamiliar eternal leaping from the telephone pole nearby, seemingly disinterested in the chaos present between the rooftop and the ground. Did he really just disregard the hostages and leave? Leda wasn't sure what to think about that... Between the choking heat of the flames and her own burst of steam, the super senshi found it increasingly difficult to function up where the hostages were kept. Coughing, she covered her mouth as she backed up toward the edge of the building, where her heels clicked gently against the precipice.
A captain still held a hostage, one who sustained an indirect hit from Leda's attack. Maybe, just maybe, she could score another hit... Would it be enough to win freedom for the meek girl she held hostage?
The steadily growing smoke and heat affected her concentration, but Leda summoned her attack nonetheless. "Leda Swirling Steam!" She called, watching the vapors spiral up her arm before arcing toward her intended target. But in these conditions, she wondered if she'd hit the hostage rather than the handler... Or both.
Either way, it was her last action before descending to the concrete below.
Leda clasps her hands together in a prayer form, before raising one hand toward the sky. Steam swirls up around her, then arcs onto her foe. It's more of a mild burn than any serious damage, much like turning the shower too hot. Range: 10 feet. Enemy must be close for her to execute the attack. Time: ~10 seconds
Maia frowned at Gunn's words, she had no intention of killing anyone, not on purpose anyway. It happened sometimes, it couldnt be helped. She gave nod either way and became poised to attack Schorl, with more flames bursting forth onto the scene she almost missed the words, but she caught them barely,the captain's actions and they froze her in place. Though after a moment she was slightly confused, was the captain going to pull the artery out with her nails, cut it that way, was that possible? Naive, no she'd seen worse, but worse had come from a half youma, which the captain didn't look or feel like. Wasn't she holding a whip with which she could strangle the girl. The confusion was brief before she called out her attack, praying she was faster than the captain, but even more so hoping that everyone was right, that something was wrong here, its was thoroughly confusing and felt like a trap, a game, or something. She didn't want to play. She had to trust the other's, to trust their instincts and her own, they all been around the bend more than once.
"Absolute Harmony," she called out, the music filling her, the sweet sound a music spilling from her lips as opaque rainbow coloring notes filled the air and went spinning in a tornado at the captain and her hostage.
Maia had to look even though she wanted to look away terrified, totally terrified. If the girl died, if this wasn't a bluff, if there wasn't something more, that was on her hands. She was shaking, but it was too late. Keep it together Maia, keep it together.
Ivynian
The notes are fast in their approach. It causes the opponent to calm down. It causes the opponent to feel the thought slipping away, they feel less able to concentrate at the task at hand. Heart rate is slower and they will feel sluggish as with Sweet Harmony. The effects of the attack last for 3 minutes after Maia's note ends.
If it hits, just decide for yourself how much it effects her and for yourself when the effect wears off. It doesn't hurt at all, and is generally described ICly is as really annoying.

It was the most subtle of moves but Galena's center of gravity seemed to magnetize towards Schörl as the flames erupted. The old burn on her leg from her encounter with another senshi seemed to suddenly hurt again and she felt her chest tighten in fear before the smoke and steam that filled air could cause it themselves.
She used it propel her performance for the redheaded eternal senshi who had arrived to rescue her and gave the captain behind her a command.
"Please, just turn around and go!"
The pleading was probably more emotive than anything exhibited by Galena previously, and the sob that choked in her throat was, in fact, genuine. She hadn't realized the absolutely irrational phobia she had developed for fire since her previous rounds with senshi but it was there, and i had an effect.
Schörl's threats on her life were almost white noise, as expected. At this point the captain was a pillar to which her sanity and safety was firmly chained which made it especially painful when she had even more senshi magic thrown at her.
In a mostly conscious decision, Galena reacted to Leda's steam attack by grabbing her head and ducking low and screaming. Whether she'd been hurt or not, such noises usually drew hesitation.
The eternal had obviously not heeded her pleas either as more magic came their way, but what it did was less obvious.
Gal was already calculating what a monstrous debt she would owe Schörl by the end of this endeavor. Taking advantage of her cowering pose, a surprisingly droll tone was stealthily murmured, inaudible to anyone but the two of them save for any last minute overachievers aiming to press dangerously close.
And then intervention had come in the form of a talking cat (Cora, although not the same one that had inveigled its way onto the rooftop via taking a ride on his shoulder. It wasn't the first time that he had seen a talking cat, the last time had been from back around Christmas, but it was two in one night and made him wonder just how many talking cats were up here with them.
The cat suddenly turning into a capelet wearing cat girl was something of a shock. Can they all do that? However she had shouted out something interesting, very interesting - that the hostage that the red-haired general was holding was not a senshi, something about her being the one to know.
"What does she mean by she should know that the lady's not a senshi?" he asked Valhalla. After all, he had never really come into much contact to talking cats prior to tonight and so apart from knowing vaguely that they were supposed to be on their side, the Squire had no real idea of what they did.
And then an egg dropped down and splatted the Nega-General (Buddingtonite) and things suddenly went from bad to extremely messy as the Nega-General pulled the maybe 'not-a-senshi' but still a civilian's star seed and sending first it and then the cat girl flying.
The blonde eternal senshi (Ganymede) that had been by Valhalla had leapt for the Nega-General's direction and for a moment Falias had frowned slightly, had there been something about her aura? He was distracted before he could think too much by a Dark Mirror senshi (Canopus) approaching him, his green eyes visibly startled. After all Falias would have thought that he was the last person that any Dark Mirror senshi would want to approach given that he had helped WP in the warehouse ambush on the DMC not so long ago.
He had been relatively easily talked into helping as prior to the ambush he had had a severe dislike of the court due to one of their members, Al-Janah, coming very close to killing him in the early days of him being a Page, but then the ambush had happened and he had been helped from the burning warehouse by the very pink-haired Dark Mirror senshi that he had attacked previously, the senshi going as far to give him some cloth to help against smoke inhalation and help him escape from the are.
It had been enough to leave the new Squire somewhat conflicted towards the Dark Mirror court, however even though he had had no interaction with any of the Court since the ambush it didn't change the fact that Falias had had a hand in the ambush in the first place, hence his surprise that the Dark Mirror senshi was approaching him at all.
"Help would be welcome" he admitted at last. "And I won't turn it down if you're offering" after all despite the fact that there didn't seem to be anything that he could do for the hostage that the Nega-General had just stolen the star seed from there were still other hostages that could be potentially rescued. "But are you sure you want to give me a hand?" It was probably just as well that he hadn't spotted the blonde, mohawked Dark Mirror Super Senshi that had hit him with her attack during the warehouse ambush helping out against the Negaverse. After all having the dark-haired Dark Mirror senshi offering to help him out of all people was turning out to be brain-breaking enough, especially since Falias didn't think that he could have done the same.

Well when Andronicus was right, she was right. She watched the page for just a second before she finally sighed and dropped her hand and nodded. She turned again to the building in front of them. Acubens didn't know how healed Andronicus was, but her ribs still ached when she moved too quickly. She wouldn't be looking for any fights, and if she encountered one she'd probably beat a hasty retreat. Beyond that she didn't really want to trip any alarms or bring any attention to either of them. There had to be a night entrance or something.
And then she looked up.
"Um... I think the party is coming to us."
Acubens backed up as the fire blazed over head and those who could escape did. She sort of wished she'd taken her shoes with her instead of abandoning them back in the alcove.
"How're your injuries? Do you feel good fighting? Because it looks like we might not have a choice anymore unless we make a break for it..."
Shang nodded to his sister, not really sure what he was going to do against the group up on the roof, but when it seemed Athene would go up with him, he felt a bit more grounded. He gave a nod to Athene when she said what his magic did, even if it might not work.
"My magic, well I not entirely certain exactly, but its seems to throw of reaction times. Makes it easier to hit people basically, but I have to get close. I have to hit them with my weapon." Something he wasn't going to admit to Athene that he wasn't going to do.
He followed behind Athene headed for the corrupt senshi and the civilian or supposedly senshi being held hostage. Something which confused him slightly, as they headed to the pair, he voiced a concern to Athene.
"Don't you think that if they were allies, than it would be more believable if they were in uniform," he said quickly looking around, "an more of us are showing up, not not more of them. Is that normal? They are outnumbered, and being attacked and yet, no help."
He paused, "this isn't right Athene. It doesn't feel right, but ...", he wasn't sure what to do, not matter how much he trusted Maia's judgement and wanted to free all the hostages.

She looked up, nose flaring. Great, just wonderful. Now it was bigger. She pulled the mace from her belt and shifted it in her grip a few times. Her left arm was still shot, but in a pinch she could probably slam the cast into someone's nose if she had to.
"I can hit people and probably kick them if I need to. I'll be okay fighting, though not going to try to take on the generals. If I can, I'm going to try to get the civilians out. I'll follow your lead as you need." She gave her a firm nod and turned her face to the room, falling into a wide stance. She couldn't last on, but Andronicus would long enough.
Things had gone pear-shaped rather quickly, thought Europa, as her little conversational group dissipated into fighting. Gunn had told her to stop standing around and get in on the action - and Europa was ready to do that. Especially considering that the roof was on fire, which was, you know, bad???
Europa ran for the edge of the roof and leapt from it, less carefully than she probably should have. She rolled her ankle on the landing, and swore under her breath as pain shot up her leg. Looking around, she quickly realized she'd touched down within spitting distance of a general in a gold and green uniform - she didn't know his name (it was Serpentine), but she could sense his rank loud and clear, and Gunn had given the order to attack.
Besides, he was, trying to do awful s**t to some page (Sarras, the third-person omniscient narrator helpfully supplies), so she didn't even feel bad.
"Hey!" barked Europa, ignoring the pain in her ankle and throwing herself at the general, hoping to throw him off his course and redirect his punch. "Pick on someone your own rank!"

"Yes, yes. I promise. I'll do anything you want," the guardian cat promised to Buddingtonite, nodding repeately. A genuine, relieved smile formed on her pink lips when she noticed the general's hand moving slowly inside the captive's (Jade) chest, indicating him at least considering her offer. She could be saved, the captive could be saved!
Or not. An egg splashed on his face and the very moment it spread it's contents on the general's face Cora's expression changed from hopeful to horrified. Shaking now out of fear she tried to reach out and clean the mess away from his face but froze when he pulled his hand out from the girl's chest, holding a starseed in his hand. Her ears flattened against her head which she shook slowly.
"No... I... I...." she stuttered. When he grabbed her capelet and lifted her up she let out a little scream. "I didn't plan this!!!"
She wanted to tell him how sorry she was of such humiliation. That she had nothing to do with it. That the thing that mattered the most to her was the civilian's safety and how glad she was for him to even considering her offer.
But she had no time to say those things as the general had sent her flying towards a lieutenant (Empressite) and a senshi (Cybele). In mid-air she transformed into her cat form, hoping the landing would be less painful in that form. But she didn't land on the ground. To her surprise, pair of delicate hands took her and for a moment the fluffy cat just stared the lieutenant with wide, confused eyes. "Uh, thanks," she said when she had made sure she was safely on the ground. Couple steps she took further from the lieutenant and closer to the senshi before looking towards the way she had been thrown from.
"You're making a mistake, General!!!!" she screamed, not holding any of her emotions back. Tears formed on her fuschia-colored eyes again.
"You're making a mistake...." she sobbed.
Her attention was drawn to the senshi who addressed her. Her eyes were still teary when she looked at her. Did she look like okay? No, she didn't have to say anything to answer the question. Instead, the cat with pretty lace collar gave a rather strong (or a kitty) push with her forehead. "Oh, it was terrible..." she whined while moving push side of her tiny body against her legs now. Oh, how good and comforting it felt to be near Order-aligned energy signature! Maybe for a moment she could just stay here, in her protective arms and pretend things weren't so bad?
The senshi's starseed gave her call, asking for more power but for now she ignored it, there were more important issues to worry about for now. Like fire that was spreading quite rapidly.
Cora's arrival was surprising yet welcomed distraction. And how sweetly she spoke about her, how sweet was her offer! A small, genuinely relieved smile formed on her lips when she felt the general's hand starting to move away from her chest. Finally she could breathe! Finally the pain would cease!
Except not.
Her smile disappeared rather quickly once she saw the egg splashing on his face. Not only it was very very rude and great humiliating offense towards Mister Buddingtonite, it ruined Cora's attempt to trade places with her. And that meant she had to prepare herself to 'play dead' game.
Honestly, did she have any choice here?
There was more than just the operation's success at stake, she realized. Her own life was in danger as well. If she would fail in this, the Order would get suspicious. And who knew what they would do her to get answers they wanted? She had heard horror stories of ruthless senshi who had tortured Negaverse agents in the past. Would they dare to do same things to a civilian if they had a reason to believe she was an ally of the Negaverse?
No, she had no other choice but playing dead.
When the general released his hold of her, she took one last breath while falling. She fell on her knees at first, before letting her body fall against the ground and hoped she wouldn't hit her head too badly. If her hands would have been free, she might had tried to adjust her hands so that they would soften the fall a little but since her hands were tied, the option was out of the question.
This has to work. It just has to.... I'm dead otherwise.
And then came the hard part. Staying still and not giving out any signs of life. She kept her eyes closed, her breathing was light and even though this was very uncomfortable position to be, she refused to make even the slighest move. She had heard Lyceum coming, her boots gave her away and silently Jade wondered was she enemy or ally. Would she notice her breathing? Would she try her pulse? What would she think of her if she found out her being alive?
Would she carry her out from this torching heat to safety?

Also, I'm up for people noticing her being actually alive.
Attacking an eternal senshi had been a risk and while Cinnabar had blissful ignored the danger, when she felt fingers in her hair a part of her knew her death was at hand. She had regrets, but to die this way would at least be glorious... She grimaced, defiant to the end, but then... She was being shoved away.
Reacting sluggishly, Cinnabar had no time to turn and reengage before her world was suddenly consumed by fire, blasting out wards from the senshi she had been fighting. Unable to hold it back, the lieutenant screamed as pain roared to life. She felt the flames sweep across the back of her body and she threw herself forward to the ground and into a roll. Desperation had her flopping about in delicately, but it put the fire out that was eating her uniform and Cin thanked god for leather... Undoubtedly she would have some third degree burns, but it could have been so much worse.
The tall woman groaned as she rolled onto hands and knees, sucking in a breath that froze in her throat at a familiar voice, screaming... Galena... Damn it! She was supposed to be safe with Schorl, but the sound put frantic strength back into Cin's limbs as she forced her smoking body to its feet and launched herself towards the trio.
She had time to catch sight of glowing magic flowing from an eternal senshi towards the hostage and captor. Maybe someone else would have had the brainpower left to come up with a clever plan, but at this point Cin had little but instinct left. She fell back on the tactics that were second nature and lowered her shoulder as she charged to try and interrupt the magic before it was fully formed.

The flocking sea of origami stars that swarmed him had yet to cease by the time Ganymede made her descent, and though Buddingtonite couldn't see her clearly, he certainly could feel her. He could practically taste her in his mouth and normally he'd savor such a taste and try to deconstruct it for use later in his shop. But given his current predicament, it meant that something was different about her and he wasn't entirely certain what it may have been though he suspected it couldn't be good for him. He continued to swat away at the origami figures, unaware of the scuffle going on between the Cosmos page, Serpentine and the tart that assaulted him with this swarm. With the sugary-sweet Ganymede there, he almost overlooked Lyceum and only noticed she was there when he glanced to check on Jade. Of course, this barred him just running up to her and teleporting away from this... figures.
Now he had to talk to Ganymede...
"How awfully generous of you to give me a choice..." Buddingtonite sneered, turning his gaze back to Ganymede and just barely seeing her form beyond the form. She still looked the same, but damn she was different. What was it? Was she wearing some kind of perfume or cologne? It was maddening not knowing! Focus! Focus on the task at hand, idiot! He took in the choices being offered to him and he wasn't going to kid himself. He didn't like either one. The pain medication was starting to fade and with it, he became more aware of just how south this entire operation had flown in a matter of seconds. Fire and smoke surrounded him and it was simply a miracle that the flames hadn't ignited the swarm of paper around him- maybe it was destined to happen and then where would he be? Deep fried Buddingtonite. He laughed, but it was short lived thanks to Gra's tightening grip, and he placed a hand on the crab-youma, hoping to soothe it as Ganymede's peculiar aura was no doubt frightening the creature. Not that he could blame him...
Ganymede only presented him with two choices, but Buddingtonite knew there were so many more. He could simply teleport away from this situation and abandon the cause- perhaps the best course of action for a Negaverse general surrounded and as vulnerable as he really was. He was no fighter, and from what he was gathering from this blotched up attempt, he apparently wasn't much for talk either. He didn't need to see everything that was going on to know that he it had all gone to hell, and while he knew that it wasn't all entirely his fault, he was taking full responsibility for it. It was what was expected of him as a loyal officer of the Negaverse, correct? Except... the mark on his hand was a bitter reminder that maybe he was never loyal. He would never been seen as loyal... but then, what was he doing here?
He snapped to attention when one of the annoying origami papers flicked his nose, and he looked back at Ganymede, as though he had not zoned out at all. "Honestly, though, should that even be an option? Burn a mean, nasty, deplorable Negaverse general who can only cause harm, or burn a lifeless corpse of a civilian you failed to save? I've heard horror stories of your kind and believed them for so very long- I've even seen the results of some of your more brutal teammates, the ones that lured out little lieutenants and tortured them for their for their own sick pleasures... well, I suppose all of those senshi are either dead or have finally allowed the darkness that was within him consume them, because I see none of that here."
No, what he saw were these damned flocking origami papers, but beyond that, he saw that chaos wasn't just flowing through him, Serpentine and other officers, but chaos within the White Moon Court as well. One had completely jumped the gun and set the stage alight with little thought or concern for the safety of others, while others lingered back and gazed on. What was Buddingtonite expecting, and why did it anger him that none moved to negotiate? None moved to help Jade, who even if she wasn't a senshi, was nothing more than a civilian caught up in the Negaverse's web? Why did it make him so... spitting mad?
"You've seen through me, Ganymede- YES, I've heard your name dropped during our last encounter, when we were allies against a common cause. You stood among us, the Negaverse, to help us destroy the Dark Mirror Court, and you sat idly by while your kind willingly stood by the ranks of darkness." Buddingtonite dared a step closer to her, bringing the damned flock with him but not caring. "You were perfectly fine to chat with us, eat our food, even when you knew it would have been a gory affair. I suppose so long as you don't have blood on your precious little hands, it's all good? Even now, when you dare threaten a lifeless corpse, you wouldn't dare afford a single ounce of blood on those hands. Tell me... what kind of a choice is that?! Attack me, one you know to be filled with darkness and irreparable and if left alive will cause hell again, or attack someone you and your little 'purities' failed to save."
He had no plan. He had nothing. All he had were his words, and then, he took a step to the side, origami flock seeming to finally showing signs of slowing down, and he motioned his hands towards Lyceum and Jade. "Go on, then. I counter the choice you force upon me with a choice of your own. Burn me... or burn her. What use do I have now for a lifeless corpse?"
Jade, forgive me...

She knew nothing of the Earth squire she offered help for, neither his name nor the problems he had at the most recent ambush. If she had, perhaps she would have shown some restraint, but she could remember so little of that event beyond her own bubble. This one didn't hurt Avior, so in Canopus' mind, he might as well have been a friend... something she could have really used right now.
His question confused her, but not enough for her to regret her decision, as she looked to him and the Jupiter knight."Of course I do... if you're standing against the Negaverse and whatever they're doing here, then I want to help. I don't know what they're doing, but they can't be trusted... ever."
Maybe it was just her desire for revenge that was getting the better of her, but she wanted to help. She listened to Eternal Maia's statement and found herself musing over it, speaking aloud though uncertain if she was contributing to the conversation or not. "They should be calling for help... but not a single one has given an order for backup? That doesn't seem right... Where are the rest of them?"
Would she be considered a traitor to her court for assisting them? Maybe... but she could sense something wasn't right, that all of this was leading to something bigger, bigger than her and her new found grudge. Surely the others had to have sensed that as well!
The act she just witnessed frightened her, but not in the way it should have. 'Is... is this what they think I'm capable of doing? Do they think I'll do the same to them or others here in this city? No wonder they hate us.'

Eternal Sailor Tsui had definitely gotten Athene's text, though she was ashamed to admit that she wasn't quite as quick to respond as she would have wanted. It wasn't entirely her fault, either- her mother and Micah were visiting with little Jacob and they were actually on their way to the airport to pick them up when the strangest thing happened- THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. Gwen hadn't noticed as she was reading the first text message and had wondered why the taxi driver hadn't moved in awhile, and the moment she looked up, she received the second text, informing her that there would never be a day's rest for her.
The hardest part wasn't finding a place to transform- it was getting away from Maddy long enough to do so. The moment she found her sister's eyes off of her, she bolted out of the car and took full advantage of the blackout, transforming and making her way towards Athene's location. She hadn't waited for a response from Ida nor Chaonis, but she assumed that if there was trouble, they'd be there.
Not that she was certain what she was walking in on. There was fire, smoke, some a*****e making a scene on top of a burning building with the strangely feeling Ganymede up top... and chaos below.
"One day we'll have a day where nothing happens." Tsui sighed, looking for the closest person to her and spotting the Garden senshi. She had no idea if he had witnessed this entire thing or if he was just as confused as she was, but there was certainly one way to check. "Hey, the action's over there. Why does it look like you're about to turn the other way and leave?"

Ganymede told Lyceum not to fall for Buddy's, but then just a few moments later was threatening to burn the corpse and of course she didnt know what Ganymede's magic did, so she assumed she she was a fires starter like the orange senshi. There were enough flames already and smoke. She was slack jawed at Ganymede words and wonder how she was burn the girl if Lyceum stood right in front of her. Did she expect Lyceum to move?
Even with her fear and distrust of Buddy, as he spoke to Ganymede she found herself stepping backward. She trusted neither, at the current moment. She didn't know who to believe, but in the moment neither looked good, though she hoped severely Ganymede was bluffing, somehow she doubted it. This situation was total chaos.
"You wouldn't dare burn her body. She is a human being, a dead human being, whose body shouldn't be desecrated," she said moving back until her foot touched the girl (Jade).
She turned and dropped down touching the girl, not wanting Ganymede to do what she threatened to do, only to realize. The girl was alive! She was breathing!
She looked wide eyed to Buddy, then to Ganymede, pulling Jade into her arms and moving backward. "She's alive, she is alive," she said moving the girl closer holder her tighter, getting up and backing away from Ganymede and Buddy.
She looked wild, unsure what to do, but clearly wanting to protect the girl. She was confused, really confused, backing up entirely to close to the edge of the roof behind her.

Sunshine Allouette
Ly doesn't like that option at all, she doesnt know any better
This was too much. What was the purpose? What did these people want to accomplish? Holding senshi and civilians hostage? Killing them? Drawing in everyone as a possible trap? Why?
Valhalla felt like he was in a daze as the magnitude of what was happening enveloped around them. A few voices and familiar faces caught his attention, and he glanced up to see Falias approach, as well as Themiscrya, Ashur...
Balance… The Code had told them it was imperative for Order and Chaos to remain balanced… That tipping the scale in one direction for too long would cause ruin for everyone, but how they accomplished that was up to them.
There were others there, knights and senshi he’d never met before, and those he cared for dearly. They were all fighting… all trying to help… to do what was right.
Everything seemed to come back into focus as a large pillar of fire engulfed the rooftop. Ganymede had already leapt off to confront the General with the hostages.
“Let’s worry about balance later. Right now I’m more concerned with keeping people from getting hurt.” His voice was not harsh as he spoke to Ashur, putting out his hand to usher him away from the flames as Falias went to confront the Dark Mirror Senshi. "I’m going to help rescue the hostages, but you do what you think is right. Stay out of danger if you can, and if you need me just let me know,” he promised before turning to leap off the building towards where Ganymede was standing, waiting.
“She’s alive?” he breathed, his eyes wide as he glanced to Ganymede. “But…”
Ganymede suspected and it appeared she’d been right. With one more glance, he gave her a reassuring nod, his hand reaching out to brush against her arm as he moved away, towards the knight he didn’t think he’d met before (Lyceum). “Do it,” he called over his shoulder to Ganymede, lifting his gyrocompass and directed it at the knight, a beam of green light shooting out with the intent to reverse her movement towards the edge of the roof. "Stop moving!"
