The half-youma laughed as her claws scored and Ganymede kicked at her. She moved so slowly now! It was easy to step-pivot to the side so the kick swung uselessly at the air, and in the next motion, throw a punch straight at her pretty, blue-eyed face with strength that exceeded anything a general alone could bring to a fight.
I wonder if she’s ever had formal training. Maybe, but maybe she’s just resourceful and experienced in this hidden war. It could mean the difference between winning and losing, in a straight up fight with someone who had training…. but her little knight boy friend made up for some of the lack.
Her attack combo might have kept on going… maybe grab for that trailing hair, bring up a knee up into her stomach… but suddenly the world was wobbling crazily and her thrown punch moved backwards instead of forwards. When she stumbled, she moved the utterly opposite direction, with no ability to tell left from right or up from down. Her mind scrambled to recalibrate to the new orientation as Cinnabar floundered, her face twisted in anger. <******** magic… She could admit that were she in their places, she would have spammed the hell out of some magic, but from where she stood, she could see nothing but cowardice in not fighting her hand to hand.
Well. She would have to make use of her own special skills in compensation, then. As soon as the world turned right side up again.
Cinnabar is in D4 facing Ganymede and Valhalla, with Amphitrite, Benitoite and newcommers Athene & Liryn!

Falias is in grid D2 with Sailor Etamin and is trying to avoid being bowled over by the porcupine-zard youma. Feel free to engage.
Falias wasn't expecting the youma - that looked like the unfortunate offspring of a lizard and a porcupine - to decide to freaking roll at him, sounds of crashing and snapping happening as it smashed through the foliage between it and him.
He tried his best to try and leap sideways and out of its way, not wanting to be bowled over by the thing...
Because being shredded by porcupine spikes really wasn't his idea of fun.
There was a voice from nearby as he leapt into the jump, chanting something about a Pharaoh and tombs although he wasn't sure what the reference was. Was it some sort of magic?
Then his feet was hitting ground and he hoped as he looked for the youma, hand still on branch, that he wasn't imminently about to be porcupine-zardly bowled over.

Sorry this took so long, will hopefully get the Athene post up later on today
Athene is in D4 with Liryn, Gany, Val, Amphi, Beni,Cinnabar and a whole bunch of youma (plus anyone else that I missed). Feel free to engage.
It was last moment that Athene realised that he wouldn't be quick enough to get entirely clear of the winged lion-youma that had decided to target him, the thing faster than it looked.
So instead he took the opportunity as the lion-youma used its wings to flap clumsily up - so that its weight rested on hind paws - to shift as much out of the way as possible so that the claws that came raking down came down more to the side instead of full frontal.
The glancing blow still hurt, breath escaping on a pained hiss as claw left bloody trails that stung white hot as they cut through fabric to pierce skin.
Athene tried his best to ignore the pain as he moved backwards, using the hand from his good arm to snag bits of branches from one of the two nearby trees before sending them flying towards the lion-like youma.

Ganymede is in D4 with a lot of people!
Ganymede saw the fist heading toward her face and was prepared to take the blow, but it never came. Suddenly Cinnabar's arms jerked backwards, and though the swipe of Ganymede's leg had not connected, the General looked off-balance. Ganymede was sure she knew why. A brief look in Valhalla's direction showed that he was wielding his compass.
She was safe from further attack for the moment, though there were youma everywhere. The one Benitoite had sent out to attack was currently trapped by a barrier of beads, but there were others to take into account—namely the lion-like youma currently attacking Athene. Ganymede was relieved to see her ally there. She no longer felt quite so outnumbered.
She spared the area around them a quick glance while she had the chance, taking the opportunity to take in her surroundings and decide where she needed to focus her attention. Valhalla was on his knees on the ground, but a guardian cat was currently taking on his opponent—who was only a basic level Senshi; Valhalla should be able to handle her fine. Athene was facing off against the lion-like youma; Ganymede winced when the youma's claws struck, but Athene remained standing. A good sign.
Back to the half-youma General Ganymede's attention went. This General had not been responsible for the worst of the tortures Ganymede had been through in captivity, but she had been there. There was no telling what she might have done to the others, or what sorts of things she might have done behind the scenes. Of her choice of opponents—Benitoite, the youma, Amphitrite, the Captain speaking with Benitoite—Ganymede wanted Cinnabar to pay the most.
So she reached inside of herself for the last of her power, aimed at Cinnabar while she remained out of control of her movements, and said, “Searing Passion!”
Quote:
Searing Passion The enemy's focus temporarily narrows upon a desire that manifests itself in a physical sensation, a heating of the body that grows progressively stronger throughout the duration of the attack, until the target feels as if they are burning up from the inside. They're likely to feel weak and disoriented once the attack has burned itself out. The attack itself reaches its peak after about 45 seconds.
"No." She whispered but couldn't bring herself to move away before the attack hit. She watched as petals formed in his hands and then as they wafted to her. It was all, in a twisted sense, very pretty.
But they touched her skin and she made a whimpering sound as it sunk in. She looked down as red blisters instantly formed on her skin.
"Ow, OW HOLY s**t THIS STINGS." She patted at her arms, attempting to ruin it and then brought her head up to glare at Haumea.
"That's a bullshit move handsome."
She drew her hands together. It hurt to even do so but-
"But I think your little guinea pig is gonna bite back." Two could play with magic, "Aurora Borealis Wind Flare!"

Sailor Methone calls out her attack and points upward towards the sky and above her head atop her index finger a solar wind erupts in front of her. This wind is far stronger if the opponent is standing directly in front of her and can effectively knock them over. The range of this solar wind reaches 7’ in front of her and all around her. (360 degree span). Following directly after this abrupt gust of wind a blue-green ribbon of light reaches out emulating the Northern lights. These lights only last for 15 seconds but blind anyone within a 10’ radius who gaze upon them for the next 15- 20 seconds (30 second blind if the room / area was in complete total darkness).
- Once cast the light remains stationary and she can move around freely. - Light lasts for 15 seconds - Wind reaches out to 7’, Light effects people within 10’ - Can be cast 3 times

The whack of branches and leaves gave the birdlion pause, and it flapped its wings for a moment before simply dropping to the ground and charging Athene. It was a lighter creature than it looked, but close in it had teeth and claws to bring to bear, even without blunt force of weight.
=========
Etamin's Magic did indeed catch the strange combination creature. The porculizard-ball stopped, suddenly, and unrolled itself, screeching it's rage at being blinded to anyone nearby to listen. It swung it's head around, trimming in angry circles and flattening bush under its feet.

Hyperborea is in D3! Hyperborea managed to wrestle the Youma into a choke as the creature howled in pain from contact with her aspect. She began smashing the thing over the head with her free fist. After a few hard punches the Youma turned to dust.
Hyperborea got to her feet and surveyed the situation. Even more youma had been realsed and the battle field was becoming more chaotic. They needed to get Ploutonion out of here quick or it would just be a repeat of the red and blue senshi girl. She looked over towards him and Glitnir and the unnamed senshi and purple knight. The Senshi was busy fighting off a youma and the other knights seemed busy with the officers trying to capture Ploutonion. It was up to her to get him away then.
She ran over to where he was standing. "Come on, we need to leave right now!" She said with emphasis. She grabbed the squire's hand and pulled him with her. She started running toward Hvergelmir, The knight couldn't fight because of her oath so she'd be perfect to get Ploutonion away from the area. If he escaped that meant that the negaverse would fail here. She ran dragging the long haired squire along behind he.
Umber left D4 in pursuit of Hyperborea and Ploutonion! (no location was cited)
Umber could offer no attempt into the area while the field still stood; he instead watched while a squire in white darted toward his intended target. Only when she sprinted out of the region of the fountain did Umber attempt to make any moves.
He knew that the generals at his back fostered no intention to assist; whether indisposed or otherwise, they would not direct attention to the target himself. With youma peppered over the battlefield, Umber knew he had no better coverage than in the moment. Still, the girl was a Squire and Ploutonion was no so crippled that running became a great difficulty; he knew he had no hope of catching up to them by normal means. And yet, as a captain, he possessed one peculiar ability that he hadn't yet attempted.
Targeting likely proved impossible, he knew. If he could pull off a teleport with minimal training on its procedures, then that would be feat enough. Umber tried, as he was taught, to visualize an alternet viewpoint. He imagined looking at the white Squire head-on, seeing the surprise in Ploutonion's face, watching the opposite end of the fountain, knowing that Hvergelmir stood at his back... And at a great cost of energy, Umber endured a spatial shift that left him both exhausted and jarred in his hew location.
However, he did finally know the look of the Squire's face. Umber had precious seconds to focus his intentions once more and sink hand into her chest while inertia carried the pair toward him. Even doing so felt impossibly costly, but he managed to press hand through bone and flesh to reach that fated chamber and wrench the still-warm soul from her. His hand seared with the base malice of her aspect, which burnt thoroughly to mid-forearm. The pain was significant enough to weaken his legs, and he dropped the seed itself as if it was the sole progenitor of this vicious sensation

slight adjustment - seed is dropped / related to cosmos aspect!

Ploutonion is headed for B3!
Ploutonion gratefully accepted his glasses from Cor Caroli, and felt around in the water for his brand-new, sparkly, useless-a** wand. When he found it, he hung onto the stupid thing for dear life.
It was moronic and useless, but he was a bit attached.
"Thank you," he told the Senshi, which was all he had time for before tiny Hyperborea was grabbing him and hauling him away. She glowed, he noticed, and her hand on his arm felt gentle and heavenly. It was strange - perhaps her magic? Or something else about being a Knight he was entirely unfamiliar with.
This created, he realized, something of a problem. He couldn't get too far - this had to end with his "capture" and corruption - but how much could he protest before it started to look strange?
"Hyperborea, wait," he tried, prepared to argue that he couldn't leave people behind when this was because of him to begin with et cetera all very noble and heroic and self-sacrificing - but there was no need.
Someone else solved his problem for him.
'Thank you, Umber,' he thought, and felt a bit guilty for thinking so when Umber went for poor Hyperborea's starseed. But she would be fine, surely someone would recover it, as Aegir had for him, and until then it was a nice nap and an obstacle out of his way. But he couldn't show that, and so he stumbled away from we with what he personally thought was a well-acted noise of horror.
"Umber, please, just let me go," he begged. "This doesn't have to end with anyone dead." It came out like a wobbly attempted threat, and he even brought up his wand to back it up.

DM NOTE: WE HAVE NOW MOVED INTO THE FINAL PHASE OF PLOUTONION'S CAPTURE/CORRUPTION. PLEASE DO NOT INTERFERE AT THIS POINT! THANKS GUYS<3
Amphitrite had wanted to follow through and hit the knight again, she'd wanted it so badly - but instead, distracted by her intended target (careless), there was a raging ball of fur in her face. It managed to drag its claws down her shoulder and upper arm, leaving streaks of angry red that began to bleed. She hissed right back, more out of pain than anger. (Don't get her wrong, she was still five levels of pissed.) She whipped her free hand around to try and catch the stupid little beast by the scruff with every intention of flinging it at the plant monster.

Mont Blonc is originally with Leucite and Oberon in B4, but he is moving very, very quickly towards E3 to join Methone and Haumea!
Thank goodness Mont Blonc wasn't a prideful guy to begin with, or that remark might have actually stung a little. It was just lucky that his tactic paid off and the smaller senshi got a chance to get a jump on him. He was all set to go back and try and get a legitimate blow in on the overzealous captain when --
Lights. A unique, beautiful kind of lightshow that he could only imagine belonged to one senshi. His stomach twisted into knots at the thought that Methone was here, in a place where a general-queen was liable to show up at any given time. The fact that she was using her attack meant she was in danger. Not that the younger boy wasn't in danger too. Crap. Crap crap crap.
Compromise. He had to find a compromise, and he had to do it fast. The page leaned down, grabbed a handful of dirt (maybe a stone or two?) and made a great show of attempting to toss it into the captain's face. "You're a -- a s**t captain and you're terrible at your job and you're also a damn idiot!" he blurted out quickly, then gave the younger senshi's shoulder a gentle tug that hopefully urged him to go along and follow him before he dashed off. If he didn't... well, the guilt was weighing Mont Blonc down already. It was a compromise, yeah, but he never said it was a great one. (Didn't it make sense to keep strength in numbers??)
Either way, he couldn't look back. The sooner he got there, the better.

Sailor Mira quickly was thrown a little backwards as a something hit her smack dab in the face. without enough time too react to the surprise attack. She didn't even have a chance to really see what it was, but whatever it was it actually hurt a bit. She reached up to her face and pull of a poster.
"Cute," she whispered with a smile. Which she realized she shouldn't be saying, but an attack like that was so cute she couldn't help it.
She moved a little forward just to be safe as she readied her stance for whatever was coming at her next. Since no matter what it was she was ready and she was also ready to help the senshi in trouble anyway she could.
Sailor Osiris Is in D2. Feel free to engage.
Sailor Osiris turned as soon as he heard his name. Sadly he was a little off since somehow he had just dazed out for a moment it seemed. Maybe it was from all of the running he did for cross country earlier in the day. When he got home he was definitely going to hydrate himself, though there was no time for that now.
Shaking his head he looked in the direction his name came from and saw Sailor Etamin. "Oh hi. I'd love to join and help as much as I can," he said as he raced towards them. He noticed there was youmas all around them. It was as if they were just popping up from the ground like daisies.
Though he watched as just as he arrived near Etamin, It looked as though they had won the battle. "Still need some help?" He then turned to his friend and readied himself to bring some justice. Since one way or another he was going to fight as hard as he could, for justice, and for his friends.
SO sorry its such a late late reply everyone and if i missed someone sorry - work has been insane these past few days. x.x

Falias is in grid D2 with Sailor Etamin and Sailor Osiris and is still facing off against the porcupine-zard youma.
As it turned out he wasn't bowled over by the porcupine-zard youma, because it turned out that whatever the kid had been chanting was some sort of magic and it had the youma screeching.
He breathed a sigh of relief as the youma stopped trying to act as some sort of spiked bowling ball and instead started walking in what appeared to be some sort of circle, nodding at the kid as he mentioned that his magic wouldn't last long.
"We need to dust it" he said, as he headed towards the youma and tried to to swing the branch at it before continuing "Grab a branch from one of those trees over there" and then as the older senshi from earlier appeared he spared a glance over and added "And you - try and see what's happening up ahead - by the fountain, but watch out for agents."
After all he and the kid senshi with the braid would be more than enough to deal with the porcupine-zard and they could follow after once done.
Liryn is in D4 with Athene, Amphi, Gany, Val Beni,Cinnabar and a whole bunch of youma (plus anyone else that I missed). Feel free to engage.
Liryn wasn't particularly impressed at the corrupted senshi's attempt to hiss back at him - his purplish eyes unimpressed as he stared flatly at her - after all he could do the hiss-hiss thing so much better than her.
It did not occur to him that given that fluffed up he resembled more of a small puffball than a cat that he didn't look particularly intimidating either.
He saw the hand coming in his direction and remembered another nasty corrupt that had tried that trick on him.
Ate - but this corrupt wasn't Ate - wasn't an eternal.
She seemed just as nasty though.
With another hiss, Liryn tried his best to bite the hand coming in his direction.
