"I am heading home. it's too hot to walk home however." Hence why she was spending money, which she didn't like to do, on public transportation. It was too hot for the Russian girl to walk home, she didn't like the heat and the heat they were dealing with above ground right now was well beyond her limit.
"it should have...that was our train." She said before continuing back to the other conversation. "Where are you headed?" The other could be doing the same as she was, going home, but she could also be doing something interesting or fun. It didn't hurt to ask and be a little curious. This was someone she wanted to...be close to, as odd and hard as it was for the dark haired girl to admit to or think about. But they had a connection and they were both involved in this war, this was someone she could learn from as well. They shared a past, ancient as it was, in common as well.
The other didn't even get to finish what she was going to say before a whole cacophony of noise erupted all around them. She could soon see uniforms, distinct and obvious, as she looked about with wide pale eyes. "Oh...." Well that answered the cause for the problem with the train - right? Watching a person drop the ground the dark haired girl turned her attention to Aurora. "We need somewhere safe..." To power up because even with all these bodies around they could both be seen, even if the chance was slim it was still a chance and she didn't care to take that sort of chance - not with her life anyway.
As Aurora got in close to her she moved in as close as she could as well, needing to hear the other over the noise going on around them. Nodding her head to the words the other spoke. "Of course." Leaning in to whisper back. "We need to power up somewhere safe. here is dangerous." Here was too out in the open for them both. Surely they could duck behind something? "I can put up a small barrier here and there so you can drag people to safety." They could work together to get people to safety with her providing a shield, for as long as her magic would hold. She had never really done it but it was worth a try - even if it would be taxing on her.
Finally her eyes landed on a trash can though and she pointed to it. "We can duck behind it, one at a time." And power up.

A knight...? Juno eyes gazed over her shoulder as she felt the power surge behind her, making the connection that Jarias, who no longer remained must have been the Cosmos page that appeared behind her, looking not quite so intimidating with her little basket.
The words offered however were more than welcome. Well alright then. The two of them could beat up on some stuff. Just as long as Verona didn't try and steal too much of her fun.

No rush to reply to me darlin' just basically tagging a notice.
Aurora would, unfortunately, have to fill Winterlynn in later on her plans. Gosh she hoped that her plans for the day weren't going to be ruined entirely by this but.... yeah.. the likelihood that they'd be able to clean up this mess and then have her feel like going to and make it to the bridal show. An actual ping of annoyance hit the bride-to-be before it faded back to the far more important concern for the many people trapped.
"Good idea." She agreed before nodding in the direction of the trashcan the other girl had pointed out, not bothering to lower her voice in the urgency. Making her way over towards it quickly, she glanced around when she was finally there, before quietly ushering her knight. "You first." Her own aura would likely draw more attention than Delphi's, so she'd play guard while the knight went first and would hopefully be able to power up before anyone could notice or come after Delphi.
Nodding her head she whispered to the other. "I'll cover you when you power up then." And if need be she's put up her shield to cover the senshi. She wouldn't let the other get hurt, she had enough power she could really impact this fight. This wasn't a situation she wanted to be put in, fighting at a train platform, but she had no choice.
Ducking behind the trash can, hurrying behind it in her heels, she summoned her scepter and powered herself up. The coat was too much and it was quickly shed and left on the floor as she got up, without her coat, and motioned the other to get behind the trash can and power up. The coat would remain there, or at least off of her form, as she didn't feel like dropping from heat exhaustion caused by too many heavy layers of clothing.

Megrez froze. The threat and risk was very real; if she made any move at all, this senshi's life would be forfeit. But she couldn't just stand there and let the generals beat on basic senshi. Something had to be done. Something.
Two post-it notes floated down by Cor Caroli and Megrez, both bearing messages from Silas.
Quote:
To Megrez
The train passed the platform. Something weird is going on. If it's Negaverse, I'd like your help.
Quote:
To Cor Caroli
The train passed the platform. Something weird is going on. Be careful if going near the train.
Cor Caroli's eye contact only shifted briefly to the drifting notes. Right now, he was fixated on the face of the wicked General in front of him and that singular feeling of knowing right where his soul was in his body. He began to tremble and sweat, and he swallowed and closed his eyes. Maybe being de-souled would hurt less if he couldn't see it.
As much as Megrez wanted to read the notes and see who they were from, there was a more pressing issue at hand. She had to free Cor Caroli. Starseeds could be put back, right? She remembered that she had survived a de-souling from General-Queen Sakuradite in that dark future. She was going to have to take a gamble.
With a battle cry, Megrez charged Jarosite, intending to tackle him and either knock him over or distract him sufficiently to release the starseed.

---- Sadachbia was pleased to see that the first brick sort of hit the General, but then Chara ended up as the meat shield for the second brick. She was going to have to apologize thoroughly to him later.
Then the General made it clear that she was going to snap the younger senshi's neck or at least choke him if she did anything. Sadachbia did the only thing she could thing of through some hasty logic (if she was in the General's face, she'd have to let him go or at least be distracted enough to not choke him, right?): she bum rushed her, yelling at the top of her lungs, aiming to get in a hit or a slap or anything.
As Winterlynn ducked behind the trashcan, Aurora kept her eyes on their surrounding, waiting to try and distract anyone that came too close. Luckily Delphi's transformation was quick and as soon as the squire appeared behind her Aurora ducked into hiding herself, emerging a moment later as Eternal Sailor Polaris, before quickly powering up to her Princess form.
Her head was ringing almost immediately, as her senses picked up the inumerable metal objects in, around, and that made up the train station and platform. Her eyes closed for a moment, trying to block it out and dull it as best she could, before she hopped up on top of the trash can, her wings extending for balance as she called out as loudly as she could.
"PLEASE PROCEED TO THE EXITS EVERYONE. IT'S NOT SAFE HERE."
"KEEP DISTANCE BETWEEN YOURSELF AND THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU IF POSSIBLE, THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE TRYING TO HURT YOU."
How many would hear her, or more importantly, how many would take the advice of the 'terrorist' she didn't know. But if it had alerted or saved even one person then it was worth doing.
Stepping down in a quick motion, she glancing to Delphi, before reconfirming their plan. "Shall we head towards the exits and make sure they're clear so that people can get out? Then we can help assist them once we know the path is clear?" As soon as Delphi confirmed, she intended to grab the squire's hand and help lead the way with the superior speed her form gave her.
There was a potential that her aura would make her a target and their plan would have to change. But if it did, and the Negaverse focused on her, well at least Delphi might have a chance to get people out of the way while they were distracted.

Feel free to get them all the way to the exit if you like! Or to change the plan along the way.

Watching as the white haired female ducked into hiding behind the trashcan Delphi stood guard, as the other had done for her moments before. Only unlike Aurora the squire had a weapon and magic at her disposal. Soon though she was joined by the eternal senshi who she watched power up to princess - that was good. It seemed something was up with her for a moment before the princess up getting up on top of the trash can, which he moved to steady in case it tried to fall over and take Polaris with it.
"I do hope they take your advice." Though she doubted many would, after all who would listen to a terrorist? She doubted many would, if any in fact. But this would certainly draw attention to them both also.
Knowing they both now had a bulls eye drawn on them she let the other grab her and head her for the exits. "If they are safe we need to come back and help get civilians out of here." if it was free and clear, and they could keep it that way, they could get how many people to safety? How long till the cops would show up though? Not that they did, or even could do, much of anything.
What Polaris didn't know was that Delphi intended to protect her, above most other things, if the need came about. She could keep her safe so Polaris could unleash her magic and help in the fight without much to worry about.

This s**t is all ********> The commotion erupting around him left Isaiah in a wary state; his gaze cast toward a breaking fight with a senshi, and then toward the growing number of unfamiliar, assumed sailor scouts that flooded the scene. One in black, red and white approached a group of people huddled near a staff-only door. Further cacophony sounded when the fire alarm went off, and a select few of the scouts started shouting for everyone to leave. This stirred a panic, he noted, with many people attempting to crush themselves through the turnstiles and incurring injury in the process. If this was what they intended, then they'd successfully blocked off any potential exit for themselves.
Isaiah lacked interest in getting himself crushed to death over the turnstiles, but he found great reticence in thinking about powering up. Even despite his wonder's incessant looming, past experiences taught him that becoming Scholomance proved much too dangerous for his liking. Isaiah preferred his life with significantly less adrenaline in it, and he already gathered that Destiny City was a poor choice for that.
This was nothing like New York.
A woman with wings spanning her back warned about keeping distance, which caused more frantic panicking as people tried to draw away from one another. Isaiah remained where he stood near the pillar, and hoped any games of going around it might protect him from errant strikes. If they intended to declare this place a magical battleground, then the platform would become much too cramped for his liking.
Dropping to a seated position, he pulled cell phone from pocket and frantically racked his brain for numbers to text. Chaldene once mentioned that police were no good in these fights, and his list of powered contacts sat frightfully low.
So what was there to do but make himself as insignificant as possible?

Between the presence of recognized terrorists and Princess Polaris' announcements, the crowds are no longer complacent. People scattered from each other, pushed upon each other, and crushed strangers against the turnstiles in an attempt to evacuate the platform in a panic. These fear-stricken residents prove far more difficult targets for covert starseeding!
It will, however, take some time for the crowds attending the platform to peter out. In the interim, anyone present on the platform will find it impossible to escape, unless they wanted to chance beating the train to one of the utility offshoots. This means characters are temporarily unable to escape!
Whether people believed her or not chaos erupted further on the platform. People, selfish creatures that they were, pushed and shoved in their attempts of self preservation, clogging up the exits as they tried to escape. It made Polaris and Delphi's task of leading people toward the exit near impossible. No, all they could manage to do now was try and keep officers of Chaos away from the turnstiles so that people could hopefully exit on their own. Hopefully with as little injury to each other as possible. Between watching for Chaos she occasionally glanced to the crowd, trying to watch to make sure no one was specifically trampled, ready to try and hope in and pull them out if she happened to notice them fall.
There was still some good that had come of it. People 'were' trying to leave, so hopefully the platform would eventually empty out. But more importantly people were paying a little more attention to those around them so maybe, hopefully, the Negaverse wouldn't be as able to grab starseeds.
Polaris huffed a little in surprise as a woman hit her with a purse as she passed too nearby.

your welcome to have him take his frustration out on her ^.^ she wont hit first but she will hit back XD
Pompeii watched as even more chaos erupted. She could feel order member after order member appear, some she even recognized at least slightly. Some were already in fights with the negaverse and Pompeii hesitated, trying to formulate a plan of attack. What was the best way to handle this situation? She didn't even know what chaos' endgame was.
The Squire apparently took too long to decide because a negaverse agent approached her, demanding she move. She frowned, "sweetheart?" Pompeii shook her head. Not in a defiant 'no' but more in a 'I'm disappointed in you' teacher kind of way. "It won't do you any good if I move or not. Unless you have the special key you can't turn off the alarm. I believe the only other way it can be done is through the main alarm panel that would not be located in such a out of the way station as this." The last part was a little bit of a fib because while Pompeii assumed something that important was likely monitored at the main control room she didn't actually know. There might even be a way to turn it off via the control room.
"Besides emergency personnel should already be on their way. They would have been notified immediately once it was pulled." She smirked and stepped off to the side and gesture to the pulled alarm. "But please. After you. Let's see you waste your time. Oh and I don't regret it all that much." She eyed the panicked civilians and mentally reevaluated the reaction of the alarm. Yes it brought help but it was civilian help that was not equipped to deal with the negaverse, it was a fast way to get people to evacuate but it seemed the panicked crowd just panicked even more and were now blocking the exit, and it the noise and confusion seemed to be getting more people hurt then it would have possibly have before. She shook her head again, shaking her questioning thoughts out of her head. "Doesn't matter what you and I want any more. The alarm has been pulled and there is nothing anything you or I can do about it."
Mistral tucked her elbows in, crossing her arms defensively over her stomach, and trailed behind Ganymede and Valhalla like a duckling. She was feeling vulnerable with all the commotion around them, and with avenues of escape becoming increasingly limited, she didn't want to take any chances. Taking a bad hit down here was a recipe for disaster.
"It looks like they're trying to get into the office," she called to Ganymede over the sound of the fire alarm. Mistral frowned - she was not, by any means, a civic engineer, but the train office would definitely have a lot of important controls in it. "That runs... platform security, system communications, um, the lights?"
This place would get really dangerous really quickly if the lights went out. In fact, she was amazed no one had been thrown onto the tracks yet - or if they had been, she hadn't seen it.
"I could try getting a call out to other knights, but without knowing who's on the trains, it's a shot in the dark," she added. "But if they're trying to get into the office, that looks like a plan, and we should go ******** with it."

After untangling himself from the general for a brief moment he had plotted to slip between her legs and pull her down. But nooo, some other Senshi, bless her soul for trying, decided to launch bricks at them! If only her aim was better, he probably could have escaped! It was SO close but it whizzed right by the woman's head, and she caught on fast, dragging him back up to use as a meat shield. And of COURSE then the other brick came and hit him in the shoulder, knocking him back against the skull obsessed weirdo!
The brick had stunned him for a moment as he glared hatefully at Sadachiba and in the moment after he had one hand released, the general's hand came up to his throat. Of COURSE this was to happen. He did bring it down on himself after all. But he had a hand free now! And with that hand he reached up and grabbed what he could, and handful of Xenotine's long purply side bang, and attempted to drop his weight onto it, even if it meant putting more strain on his own throat. Maybe then, with this potentially off set of balance, that other Senshi could effectively knock them off balance, and truly save his neck!
Beejoux
Feel free to mess him up! No killing Just yet! But any other type of harm is fine. (no broken legs though, he needs those to fight another day!)
In either case - it really didn't matter one way or another how things went about. He could hear the panicked running of the masses and this had all gone to s**t anyway. So there really wasn't any salvaging of anything. Oh well, time to kick in some teeth then.
Keeping his eyes on her for the most part, he did cast a quick glance around the station floor nearby to see if there was anything of use. A habit from many a fight out and about. Finding nothing of any real value to assist him - and knowing his banner would just get in the way in this more enclosed space - he did the only thing he could do.
He moved in fast and low, attempting to tackle her and bring her down to the ground. He was going to pummel the ever living hell out of her and he was going to enjoy it.

Lovely, people were pushing and shoving and clogging up everything and than it seemed to change as people all but jumped away from each other, as if those around them perhaps had ebola and they didn't want to catch it. Oh, this just showed one of the downsides to humanity - inability to work together.
As Delphi looked around at all the civilians and the mess of chaos they had caused she turned her attention then to Polaris. "What do we do now? We can't check to see if they can get out, or help them escape." That plan had been destroyed, thanks to all the chaos, but there had to be something they could do now to help the civilians. She knew they could take on the negaverse agents, engage them in fighting, but would that be as helpful? It could keep one or two from grabbing starseeds but the civilians seemed like they might just be doing that no there own with the distance some were putting between themselves and other people.
Cinnabar was an island of calm amid the panic, a little smile on her face as she watched the people scream and stampede to the exits like spooked cattle. Cattle, on slaughter day.
The half-youma darted into motion suddenly, tackling a man from the side to shove him roughly into one of the support pillars. He struggled against her grip as he screamed for help, but it was a short lived effort. Her hand punched forward into his chest and was yanked out moments later, starseed glowing in her grip.
As she tucked it into her pocket, power signatures flickered to life around her and Cinnabar's head snapped up, feeling power on a level she never had before. Her eyes widened, the pupils shrinking to slits and her lips pulled back from her teeth. That, logic dictated, was what a royal should feel like. Castor had not had such a signature, but this was stronger than anything in her experience.
What was a royal doing down here? This was going to be that much more trouble for them... She remembered how the prince's tiara had burned her to the bone. They needed to keep the enemy from ******** with the trains until the mission was concluded... The control room was the place to be then. That was where they could Order would be trying to tamper with the computers.
Releasing the corpse she held, Cinnabar took a step back and disappeared, flickering back into existence across the room in the space she had walked by less than an hour ago. The door was open as the general strode through it, a quick glance confirming the room was occupied, and by one of their own.
"Umber." Cinnabar greeted him, dismissing the rest of the room as she turned to look out the door. "I'll keep watch outside. Call me if you need help."
She spared him a nod before she strode out again to take up a ready position outside, glad to know the control room was secured.
