Castor had a few words for Hematite.
"CONSIDERING WE DON'T RUN AWAY WHEN OUR ALLY IS GETTING THEIR s**t KICKED? I THINK WE'RE PRETTY GOOD. ALSO THE UNIVERSE IS OUR ALLY YOU DIPSHIT." Castor flipped the general the bird. Shouting match, yay!
"WHERE THE ******** DID YOU THINK WE GET OUR POWERS? ALSO HEMATITS?" He smiled. "Go suck a general queen's c**k."
Truthfully he didn't mind Nemesis's ignoring him. Gave him time to yell at the negas. When she aceepted his appology? Offer? Well, when she'd said she would stand by him. "Thank you Nemesis. You're one of the few people that well-" He motioned to the younger senshi. "You know what it was like those years ago. You know what we've faced and how we fight. You're a good ally to have." A small chuckle. "Sorry it just..I honestly thought you still might hate me." Glacing back to the zodiacs, he shrugged. "Now-" He felt the pulse of his crystal. "A little hope never hurt anyone." He then realized just what they might be doing. "Well, unless you're a part of Chaos."

"Yeah," said Gunn. Fire purifies. Gunn, comet, society, senshi--all felt fire in the deepest parts of their souls. Fire was the strongest of elements, and she would force all of that strength into this barrier. This... whatever this was.
It would be all right.

Lesath heard the call, and was surprised to find herself being dragged over to Ares, their...what she could only assume to be...their leader, their beautiful, merciful leader.
She glanced up at the male that had grabbed her and smiled. "I'm here, my Queen. Sailor Lesath awaiting orders. I'm ready to show those senshi who's really in charge."

Chronos nodded mutedly, the strength slowly seeping back into her body. Have faith. It had been faith that had kept them alive all this while, and she couldn't give up on it. Not right now. One by one, the Knights joined her and she gave them a smile of thanks. Flora had nodded towards Leo and hauled Chronos back by the arm as Wolframite approached.
Virgo.
Chronos' breath had caught in her throat and then a smile split on her face in delight. Her Captain was back. Everything would be alright. They would survive this. They had to survive this.
There was a flash of light as Sailor Chronos shifted into her Princess form, pink butterfly wings glowing as her hands were clasped in prayer. Besides her, Flora too, did the same.
"Opal Crystal, crystal of Protection/Guardianship, the Great Wall, the Surrounding. We pray to you to protect the home of the Zodiacs, to protect our allies. We will not let Chaos take the Surrounding. To those who have left us, but will always be a part of us; Eon, Aries, Sagittarius, lend us your strength." Aunt Serenity, Chronos added mentally. Please.
And with all her heart, the Princess shut her eyes and prayed, the pink butterfly Crystal floating before her chest, glowing with strength that everyone had directed towards it.
"Chaos will never be allowed here. This is our duty. We hold the line. Despite what tricks you have tried, we will never bow to you. We will never fall. We stay strong. Together."

"To think, it's some of the new senshi's first fight. We've been doing this s**t for ages, Castor." With experience came strength, and it was with that strength she stood back up. Nemesis could do this, Nemesis could fight. She had never been the sort of senshi to give up, even when all the odds were piled against her. She had made more enemies than friends, and that was just fine in her opinion. She lived for the fight, the moment where she put all of her beliefs, hopes, and dreams on the line. Nemesis had time to grow and mature into this sense of personal faith. The senshi knew her place in the world now better than ever before.
"I do still dislike you, just not as much as before. I hear you've got a wife or something, good for you." It was forgiveness, or moving on and away from the past. It was shedding that one grudge so they could fight efficiently at each other's side. This was likely something she'd be embarrassed to have repeat again after this battle. "I have a hard time believing in hope. It's easier for me to believe in my own strength and how far that will carry me."

Incredible would be the only word that perhaps existed to describe what happened in those moments. The forces of Chaos had a myriad of reactions watching them all standing there beneath that silly bubble, holding hands and being pathetic. Sneering derision, odd confusion, perhaps even a few felt a curious kind of pity for those that would pray for their final moments. It was foolish of them to not believe as the senshi believed.
The rainbow road beneath their feet started to illuminate slowly...and so did the powers of Order beneath the shield. Each one glowed brighter and brighter in the individual colors that signified their stars' power. Princess Chronos was a brilliant pink, Soldier Virgo an amazing spring green, Soldier Leo was a blinding gold, Sailor Aquarius an amazing shade of blue. The newest Knights of Chronos were individual colors that made up the conglomerate of their Princess' colors. More and more colors spiraled down to the very center of the group, as if the shades of the Surrounding itself were present in every senshi and Knight there.
It fixated at the front of the group where Princess Chronos was akin almost to the goddess of yore in that moment, opening her eyes to look dead into the beast's own. The thing flinched, roared in bemusement, just as those dozens of voices resounded all at once, cosmic power surging through their very beings in one incredible combined force...
"SAILOR GALAXY ATTACK!!"

Light, brilliant and pure, burst and swelled from the epicenter of their cry. The space around Chronos Castle was filled with ephemeral prisms -- one each for every senshi and Knight present, each refracting its own spectum of color that was unique to the one that had called it. To the forces of Chaos the display was solid, tangible, cutting at them and pushing them back.Those closest to the Great Monster could have watched it absorb the lights, fill with them. With the greatest agonizing roar of its life it backed away from the Surrounding into open space.
It floated there in the silence for a moment, before shafts of light burst forward, one by one, from its body. Rapidly, its form peeled away into the ragged wraith that it had been before, only for it to be reduced to a skeleton contorted in pain... until it finally burst into a cloud of shimmering stardust.
The Negaverse and Dark Mirror would barely around to see it however. The power of the united defenders of Order had pushed them all back, away from the Surrounding, turning their vision an unintelligible white... and when their vision cleared the Negaverse would find their forms crumpled on the surface of planet Alkaid. The Dark Mirrors? They fled to the safety of mirrorspace.

Cancer would have kissed Virgo if that wasn't totally not her thing. No, instead, the new, (or was that renewed? or old? ******** it), zodiac was going to believe. Believe in the power they had, the strength they had. This place had protected earth hadn't it? It was to be strong, hell, they had to be strong. This was not another game she was playing, this was real life. And in life, she refused to accept loss, to just roll over and die. To let those bastards take what they had no right to.
No, Cancer was going to be a stubborn b***h and stick around. Her princess was here, gathering them. Her captain was showing them the way. Hawke had always wanted to save the world hadn't she?
Well ******** you Chaos, she was going to do just that.

Avalon's response was immediate, and that was to grab Pollux and kiss him again, then pull him off into an impromptu victory jig. She didn't have to see the light clear to understand that they'd just ******** all the Negaversers hard without any preparation; she couldn't sense any darkness, and the Surrounding gleamed brightly in the starlight.
She would regret this so much later.
"Look, Pollux," she said, twirling him under an arm in their celebratory dance, "I don't feel that way about you really. I mean you're my bro and all, but, adrenaline. Battleship only. Also, I'd buy you dinner first. Totally. At least Italian. And I'd wear a skirt. Do you see a skirt? Do you even see a shirt?"
~~
Gunn sagged to her knees next to Hephaistos, leaning her shoulder against his. "Nice job, Hephaistos," she said, patting his hand--the unburned one. "We did pretty great. Sailor ******** Galaxy Attack. All the way."

Slowly his eyes slid open, he admired the many crystals floating glowing burning with the power they called down. His own shone silve, streaks of red and gold flickering through its many faces as it slowly turned and tumbled in space among the others, his breath caught in his throat. They would live, this power would save them. This was their chance to make a stand and it was happening. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he knelt beside Gunn.
He wished he had this power, when Lyra was taken from them.
"M' sorry Lyra..." he mumbled. Slowly he turned to face Gunn resting his head against her his hand shifting under hers offering a squeeze a sign of life still inside him, "Yup... blew it all away..."

Ares turned to face Deneb Kaitos. The term "highness" unsettled her. "Commander is fine, soldier," she said quickly. "But I appreciate the sentiment." Unfortunately, it was not a time for reverence. It was a time for dominance. Others in her Court began to assemble, and for the first time in a long time, Ares felt the distinct swell of pride at the sight of them. They were blood-stained! They were bruised! They had the fire of battle in their eyes -- old and new alike. It was perhaps the most beautiful thing Ares had ever seen in any of her incarnations. Requiem's face surfaced in her mind first. Nemesis a problem? How surprising. Ares only pursed her lips, but left that conversation alone. It was something they could address later. Maybe with punching. The new boy from the Mirror Pools came, Remarque, and Ares regarded him with a sharp nod. Silent and obedient -- she adored him already. Leto grabbed her attention next. In the past week, Leto had proven time after time that she was an integral part of this operation. It deserved respect. It deserved a promotion to a leadership position. This, too, could wait until after the battle. Navi proved be like Remarque -- silent, quick, useful. This group was showing more promise than the Blood Moon Court had with some of their early recruits. Chaos could have that sobering effect on a person. When they were all assembled, Ares finally began to speak, quickly but sternly, "Ignore the senshi throwing their slurs. They are attempting to distract us. Whenever a group assembles like that, it does not end well. The Zodiacs are disorganized, but together? Together, it is an unfortunate thing to go up against. Our numbers are too small now to completely squash them when they are unified... which is why we need to remain close by each other." One day, the Dark Mirror Court would be an unstoppable wall. They just weren't there yet. "To those I have not had the time to meet, I apologize. We will survive this now and socialize after. Requiem --" Gray eyes locked on the girl's face. "There are two mirrors that we can access. One remains at the base of the mirror pools. The other was brought in on the back of the youma. The great beast fell, but the mirror..." Ares shifted. She was standing on the damn thing. It reflected back the faces of anyone who happened to look. "The mirror is still in tact, and I plan to keep it that way. It is not large enough for us to all pass through at once -- new senshi, this can be explained later. Requiem, Leto, and I can bring you to safety. Remarque -- you should be able to dive through on your own." It was not a weakness to have an exit strategy. It was good planning. "We only use this if defeat is imminent. Until then, we fight." Her eyes narrowed. "Chronos isn't the only Princess here." ...but this was her center of power. Ares simply chose to ignore that part. "ON GUARD, PARALLELS," she roared, slamming her torch into the rainbow road itself. It was a futile action. At the sound of a massive attack, Princess Ares let her eyes widen. "FALL IN," she cried now, shoving the first of the Dark Mirror senshi through the glimmering surface. It was sloppy and messy, but Ares pushed her energy into the mirror. The Dark Mirror Senshi were forced from the Surrounding into the mirror... and they all resurfaced together... in mirrorspace. (( DMC SENSHI -- Go here! ))

Nemesis would not have believed it if she had not seen it with her own dark eyes. A spiral of color gathered at the Zodiacs, and a power that none of them could have possessed on their own pushed those on the other side of the barrier away. The Great Youma that had been ready to crush them was destroyed as lights penetrated its body and then burst free. The youma had been killed, utterly destroyed, not by her own strength, but the strength of hope and faith and --
Nemesis laughed, a surprisingly light sound considering how she usually spoke. She couldn't believe it! She really couldn't. Nemesis had been ready to throw her life away to crush the enemy, when all that she had to do was help everyone pray for more power. She knew it had taken more than that, but at the moment she was just too relieved that they had won. The victory had come with terrible prices... but a victory was a victory.
And so she laughed, because the last thing she had expected was to actually win.

If anything, Hygiea had felt very very orange when the Galaxy attack had done its job; no more bad guys in the area, though she honestly had no idea what had happened to them. Orange and very kick a**, like she had been apart of something really magical aside from her daily magical girl aspect of life.
A smile spread upon her face, from ear to ear as she looked at the older senshi and knights that she had been standing near. "Well, that was super neat!" She offered, unsure of really what to say but feeling the need to say something.

Themis had glowed a soft blue, a reminder of frost and cold, of the chimes of ice that where everywhere on his asteroid.
The power he'd felt rise among all of them was great - immense - and Chronos used it well.
The great youma was destroyed.
Chao was gone.
And for once, Themis didn't pass out, though he continued not to look so hot.
"We..." He smiled. "We did it..."
Naica, for himself, had glowed the color of his crystals - that is, the knight hadn't seemed to know which color to settle on - prismatic.
But that was fine. If Themis was impressed, then Naica was completely, and utterly, mindblown.
Holy god damn, they'd... They won.
And he was still alive.
"Val." He made his way to his friend, not so stable on his feet but, really... alive. It was all he could ask for, really.
"Hesperis is one of the rooms here." He said. "We should get someone to look at her... or take her to the hospital."
He needed an hospital, too, but he saw no need to state the obvious.

The dark magenta glow that surrounded him had almost startled him and his eyes had snapped shut again. He could still feel the power flowing through him and had felt himself joining in the call for the attack.
When his eyes opened the shell of the youma was crumbling and the forces of the Negaverse and the strange dark senshi had vanished.
They'd won for the day.
