The commotion was enough to get any General Queen out of her seat, even without being able to sense the energy signatures. Of course some agents would decide to have some crazy party and not invite her.
Rude.
Metallia sends you out of town for a few weeks and suddenly everyone forgets you exist.
General Queen Apatite wasn't about to miss out on a party.
She emerged from her office, intent on chastising whatever agents intended to create such a ruckus without clearance, and without her.
Except, it was apparently easy to forget that parties and battles sometimes sounded the same.
Especially when Senshi and Knights were crashing said party
Actually, no, this looked like a fight. There weren't even any appetizers or streamers.
Thankfully, Apatite liked fights just as much as she liked parties.
Probably more, even.
A dark grin spread across her face and she summoned her weapons—a dual pair of extremely sharp chakrams.
She might not have been able to piece together everything they were saying, but she seemed keenly aware that some of them were trying to get to Metallia.
That wasn't going to happen.
She did not waste any time; she threw one of her chakrams into the fray, teleported in front of the group attempting to reach Metallia, and summoned her weapon back into her hand.
She looked down her nose at the group and a slow, cruel smirk spread across her face.
"Hi."

Reapettite | General of the Negaverse
General Reapettite felt the presence of a General-Queen as if the outpouring aura of Chaos was touching her very soul.
Her corrupted star seed yearned.
The agent of the Negaverse would obey any order Apatite gave her as if it came from Lady Metallia herself.
The Space Cauldron
Reapettite will obey any order given by the General-Queen. If none are given, the general will continue her attack on the traitors. Ignore this quote if Apatite wishes to give no such orders.
Librite felt the General Queen before she saw her. The sudden overwhelming Chaos aura was like a bucket of cold water being dumped on her: jarring, impossible to ignore, and so distracting it completely took her attention away from her pain. She forgot the Knight for a moment as she looked around for the source, since it wasn't really something she'd felt before.
When her eyes fell on Apatite, her eyes grew wide and she quickly scrambled to her feet, hoping the General Queen hadn't seen her sprawled on the ground like a weakling. She would not be caught lying down on the job!
Desperate to do her best now, she gripped her weapon tightly and darted past General Reapettite to rush recklessly at the Knight. Maybe she could hit her enemy with the corner of her bookend or something.

Valhalla of Jupiter
Valhalla was quick to follow when Ganymede called for him and Gevaudan pointed the way towards the chambers. They had been relying on Gevaudan's direction to make their way to Metallia, but with Gevaudan fighting to clear the way, Valhalla figured this was their best chance to move farther into the castle without the added hindrance of the officers that came to stand in their way.
He wanted to fight. He wanted to be able to help his allies, but he also wanted to use his magic to stop anyone from dealing fatal blows that he could see. His magic was good for that, but without it he felt utterly useless.
Unfortunately they had something worse than a few Generals standing in their way. Valhalla skidded to a stop, reaching out to grab hold of Ganymede's arm before she ran face first into the General Queen.
They had to find a way around her. If anyone could take out Metallia it was Ganymede. Maybe some others as well, but it would be her more than him.
He pushed Ganymede away from him, holding out his arms to show the General Queen a target. "Let's talk about this," he said lamely, hoping to distract more than he expected to come anywhere close to winning.

And then there was a spear point coming straight at Cybele, and even though she'd been ready for it, there was only so ready you could be for that sort of thing. She ducked and dodged sideways and managed to not get run through, but the blade was knocked off course, not stopped. Hot pain streaked across her chest and shoulder, and she hissed as she finished stumbling out of the way. Being careful, thinking quick... It wasn't going to be enough.
It was good she had magic, then. "Hunter's Deadly Grace!" she called, words practically a snarl- there wasn't time for more banter than that. She released the magic before the bow visual had even fully formed in her hands, two of the 'arrows' streaking off towards her allies, who were in intense fights of their own, the third coming back to her in less than a second, making the battlefield snap into focus, turning the throbbing in her shoulder from a distraction into a call for revenge.
Before the effects had even fully kicked in, though, she was lunging at him, aiming a kick at his ankles. If she could get him off balance, or on the ground...

I'm assuming everyone's still in the same general area, so here, have some buffs, team!
White Trickster Rabbit
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Hunter's Deadly Grace Cybele summons a bigger bow with three arrows. The speed boost they provide is slightly more noticeable than Hunter's Grace. She shoots the bow straight up, and the arrows automatically target her and up to two nearby Order aligned beings (including cats). However, if there don't happen to be enough Order aligned beings around, the remaining arrows will randomly fall, and can be easily or even accidentally intercepted by anyone else around, giving them the benefits. The arrows can target Order aligned beings within five feet of where they are fired from, but arrows without targets tend to fall closer to that spot. The effect lasts for 30 seconds. She can use the bow to threaten people, under the same conditions as before. She can use this attack twice per battle.
(Yes, I'm aware that the write up doesn't make much sense without the write up from her first attack- it's pretty much a concentration and speed boost for Cybele and two other people)

Gevuadan
The last thing he needed was a General Queen, and while there were two royals he had spotted (he had no idea why Castor was back but had seen his unmistakable ugly face before coming into the castle), he wished they could use only just their power on Metallia and not drain it elsewhere.
"Apatite!!." He hissed as he skidded to a halt, seeing Valhalla turn Ganymeade away and stepping in. What the hell was he ******** talking! She's a General Queen!" Moving beside him, he threw out his weapon. " THROW EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AT HER!" He called out to his weapon.
It reached out, arched, but hit the wall with a loud, metal CLANG as it ricocheted. The magic still held and it turned around, trying to complete the circle around the general queen to bite its' chain and complete the circle it needed to complete the spell.
Gevaudan could only cringe and hope it worked. If they could get just a few seconds to restrain her, maybe they could weaken her enough to kill her. If they couldn't' reach Metallia, killing a General Queen was a major power loss at least.
Attack:
Hungry Like the Wolf: When the weapon is thrown, the chompper bites the air as it turns into a wide circle. This doesn't cause physical damage as the dog curls into a sweeping arch to grab what he can. When caught in the circle, a black collar appears around his enemy's neck, chaining them to the spot for 55 seconds.
When chained, those leashed feel an overwhelming list for something they cannot reach. The chain keeps them in place, preventing them from attaining what they desire. No matter how hard they pulled or struggled; they can't escape and could range from frustrated to hysterical that they cannot reach what they are lusting/craving/desiring until the chain releases them.

Erebus, Squire of Saturn
"I have no plans on leaving you." Erebus said after Venice caught his attention. He had promised to stick together with his boyfriend and he fully planned on keeping that promise. Besides, he would rather that the Page had back up nearby and while he knew that Ganymede and Valhalla wouldn't let anything happen to him, if some one more powerful came along it would be up to them to take it on.
Thankfully with Gevuadan deciding to go after some of the Negaverse agents, Ganymede quickly took charge and started to lead the small group to find Metallia. Unfortunately, just when the Ganymede Knight abandoned his plan on attacking the agents, a General-Queen showed up. "Well s**t." He cursed under his breath then moved so he was just slightly in front of Venice with his oar in hand in a defensive position. Something told him he wouldn't be useful if he attacked just yet with his magic and he didn't want to disrupt the Knight's attack by physically attacking.

Sailor Hati, Senshi of the Cu-Sith
Feeling the rush of Skoll's magic made his grin take on an even darker edge. This kid was already facing two of them. With a turkey leg. It almost felt like cheating to add magic into the mix. Almost. But like hell he was going to miss a chance to ******** up a Negaverse agent further.
As the agent dove for Skoll, Hati bared his teeth. "Bay from the Moors..." Snapping down on the last word, Hati felt his magic seep into the area around him. Hoping to catch the Negaverse agent off guard further, he bolted forward to try and land a punch to the guy's side.

Silverah
Magic: Hati bares his teeth and snaps down as he speaks the final word of the attack. Within a seven foot radius of Hati, all Chaos-aligned opponents begin to hear what sounds like the baying of a large dog. The baying is heard three times, and at each baying they feel an increased sense of dread. By the third and final bay they feel as if there is something coming for them, hunting for them. This dreadful sensation lasts for 20 seconds before dissipating--as if the creature has moved on. The magic can be interrupted by stepping outside of the seven foot radius, and Hati can only use the attack three times per day, and must wait 60 seconds between uses.
Curiosity had a way of killing the cat and Encke was certainly the cat here; he felt the call, was unable to ignore it, and then was unable to ignore the temptation of seeing what was on the other side of the portal. This was the home of their enemies, from what he could understand. A chance to see where they lived, where they gathered... that was too much to pass up, and he went through it without even thinking.
He should have thought more. The feeling all around him was oppressive. It felt like it was weighing him down, crunching him into himself, and he couldn't help the way he walked with a hunch and his arms gathered uncomfortably around himself.
Encke did not look brave. He did not look like he belonged with these people.
He was out of his element.
Swallowing hard, Encke stepped forward in the castle, attempting to find some place he could hide, maybe. With so much chaos around him, that was difficult to accomplish. There were enemies every which way he looked. Perhaps he should just run and find his way back to the portal. This was a mistake. This was a mistake--
"And you wonder why people call you terrorists?!"
Encke swirled to look at whoever was shouting nearby, only to find himself looking at someone who was ... actually ... glowing... Were those lightbulbs?
What was she?

Well, s**t. She spoke too soon.
Ganymede came to a halt when the General Queen appeared before them to block their way. She didn't look familiar to Ganymede in the least. Dark pink hair. Chakrams. s**t eating smirk on her face. Didn't look nearly as elegant as Laurelite. Probably crazy. Ganymede didn't know any other General Queens, so she assumed this b***h was Apatite.
Gevaudan quickly confirmed that ********>,” Ganymede said.
She was immediately caught off guard when Valhalla pushed her aside. She looked at him as if he were crazy when it seemed as if he was presenting himself as a target with the intent of talking. She didn't know where his brain was when it came to situations like this, but it was very clear that it was not in his head.
Valhalla had no magic, no summon, and his weapon wasn't going to serve him very well if he didn't use it creatively.
“Val,” she said, and it was obvious by the tone of her voice that she was furious. “Do you even think before you pull this sort of crap? She is a General Queen. She is trying to stop us from reaching Metallia. She isn't going to negotiate with you and let us kill her evil overlord. And if you're just trying to set yourself up as a distraction, you're going to be out of luck real fast. Do you not see her weapons? She's going to kill you. And then she'll be after us again once she does.”
Ganymede wanted to ask him if he even thought about her when he did these things, and how she'd feel if he ended up getting himself killed because of it.
“For once in your Knightly career, fight,” she told him. “Fight, or there's absolutely no chance we're going to make it out alive. Fight, or we're not going to win this and everything we've done to get here will be for nothing.”
Tryptophanite's eyes narrowed as the senshi spoke. "What...?" he asked, and recognized the incantation too late for what it was - a magical spell. His concentration was broken, interrupted by the baying of an enormous dog.
Somewhere.
Tryptophanite narrowed his eyes again. That couldn't have been right. There were no dogs at the center of the rift. There were no dogs in the castle--
And yet, he heard it again. This time, the noise made him feel intensely distressed. There were no dogs. There could be no dogs. And yet, somehow, there was a dog coming for him. It could smell the meat.
The dog barked again, and this time Tryptophanite nearly wet himself from terror. It had to be nearly upon him! He turned, eyes scanning the corridor in search of the beast---
And then, the senshi struck him in the side of the head, and he went down. <********," swore Tryptophanite from his new position on the floor. He scrambled, feeling around for his turkey leg. The dog would be here soon. The dog would come and crunch his bones-

Sailor Skoll, Senshi of the Pack
Oh yes, a dog would be coming for him soon. Skoll dipped her head, face darkening with a sick sort of joy that only someone who really enjoyed fighting could get. She grinned wide, showing every tooth in her mouth and growled at him. The tall senshi crouched down over the scrambling officer, pressing a knee into his back to pin him down. She leaned down, opening her jaws near his ear and neck.
One breath, two breaths, and a growl in his ear.
"Hmm... I wonder who let the hellhounds out.... who... who... you," she whispered into his ear with a growling sort of chuckle. The woman reached up, hands grabbing his head, and snapped his neck in one quick motion. A pity. She didn't like killing people, but she couldn't afford to just knock them out.
She pushed herself up, cracking her neck. "I mighta had too much fun with that one..." admitted Skoll with a sheepish expression to her brother. Usually the terror did them in before hand, and she couldn't deny she liked getting in character with it...
Before he could even begin to get up, the other senshi was upon him, the girl-- Tryptophanite looked toward her, eyes widening in fear. She wasn't a literal hound, but she had sharp teeth and wild eyes and - and that growl and-
And he couldn't breathe.
"Please," he stammered.
He'd only ever wanted to file his paperwork appropriately.
"Please," he repeated, trying to summon something more substantial.
He never finished the thought.

Captain Aquamarine
“What. The. <******** Aquamarine stumbled into the fight a little late, and he immediately regretted it. There were Senshi and Knights everywhere. How the hell had they even gotten there? He thought Negaspace was impenetrable! Apparently it wasn't, which only made him question even more what the hell he was doing associating with these people. If they couldn't keep him safe, then what good were they?
Aquamarine summoned his dagger as soon as he arrived on the scene. He told himself to ******** chill. There should be enough of them there to handle this. Hell, a General Queen was in the mix. She wasn't about to let things spiral out of control. So what if he could feel two Royal Order auras? The Senshi and Knights were a bunch of ******** pansies who relied on magic that had limits instead of legitimate weapons.
All the Negaverse had to do was let them exhaust themselves, then round them up and exterminate them.
Aquamarine looked over his shoulder to spy Jet behind him. He was immediately annoyed, because he couldn't do anything useful when he had to worry about Jet's safely. The dumb a** was still sporting a few spoken ribs and had a cast on one arm. He was practically a sitting duck.
“Summon your ******** knives and give me one of them,” Aquamarine said. “It's not like you can use both of them with your s**t arm.”

He had said he'd help and make sure they got to their goal, that they'd get to Metallia, but he wasn't expecting a General Queen to block their path. That aura and that crazed look....she was out to kill them, nothing less than that would suffice he figured. As the Ganymede knight moved in to attack her, using that weapon of his, the eternal stepped forward also. He hadn't used his spell yet but he had no doubt that it would work and help. If he didn't use it now then when? She would stop them from reaching Metallia and he wouldn't be able to use it on the source of this whole mess. So he'd have to use it sooner than he'd planned in order to reach Metallia - he was ok with that.
Bringing both hands up, like he would for one of his weaker attacks, he formed a sort of 'gun' with his finger tips and blew across the 'muzzle' while calling out his attack. "Chaldene wisp's compulsion." And watched as little bits of blue glitter sped off to hit the General Queen where upon impact his magic would do...something. He really didn't know what this attack would do.
"Everyone else go. I think between me and the knight we have her handled." Or at least he hoped so - he really hoped so.
Attack:
Eternal Sailor Attack: Chaldene Wisp's Compulsion. Where the previous two attacks either distracted or compelled one to look this attack is different. This spell is different. Rather than just a wisp the opponent will see a bog or marsh with the wisps flickering in and out and hear a beckoning voice, whispering and beseeching them to come closer. The danger of this attack is that as it's a full illusion it will allow Chaldene to sneak up on them and attack, also who knows what an opponent may or may not walk right into (dumpster, a group of senshi/knights).
This spell will last thirty seconds upon which time the spell will end and leave the opponent rather disoriented, after all they were just in a bog or marsh, by the way where did that all go?!
This attack can be used one time in battle (twice if absolutely needed, and it will leave him drained) and like the previous attacks it can be broken early. Attacking Chaldene will break the attack as will attacking the opponent. And again attacking the wisps will do nothing. Since they vanish and reform anyway! Attacking anything within the scenery that is attacked also won't do anything, as they are all in your mind and no one else can see them!
