Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apatite's eyes immediately went to the chain coming at her; she tilted her head, watching—and seemed only slightly surprised when the black collar appeared around her neck and tethered her in place. "Oh, my," she purred; she seemed smug, and almost like she was enjoying it. "Hey, handsome. You been stalkin' my diary?"

She reached a hand to try and tug at the chain, but it was unrelenting.

It didn't even seem to bother her, though. Her eyes were dangerous, and locked onto Gevaudan. "—Don't I know you from somewhere? I oughta be flattered to have caught your eye, but you know what?"

Her mood shifted, suddenly. "You're actually just kinda pissing me off."

She wanted to tear his throat out. She wanted to see these halls drenched in Senshi blood. Wanted all these knights bowing—to her. Pledging themselves to Metallia. She wanted her hands around his scrawny little neck, but the more she tugged, the more stuck she felt.

The angrier she got.

She looked at Valhalla. "—And who the hell do you think you are? You wanna talk? How about you start talkin' to whatever got you worship, because I'm about to send you to meet him!"

She curled her arm backwards in an arc and laughed—a twisted, cynical giggle, and threw one chakram straight towards him. She summoned her second one to her still open hand and chucked that one at Gevaudan. Both weapons out of her hand, she wrapped both hands around the chain and tugged, clawing frantically and trying to bend the links with strength alone. When that didn't seem to work, she started clawing at the band around her neck.

She was keenly aware of a Princess, but she seemed all talk, herself.

Maybe she was praying to her God.

Valhalla of Jupiter

Valhalla was very aware of the fact that he had no magic, no real weapon to use, and his summon was missing, possibly killed by General Queen Laurelite almost a year ago. He might not be much of a fighter, or even know how to fight very well, or even want to fight, but he was a knight, and he swore to protect the Earth and all those who lived there. If that meant fighting in order to do that, then he would.

“You were the one responsible for kidnapping knights and senshi last year, weren’t you?” he asked lowly, anger and sadness seeping into his voice as he remembered what happened during that horrible time. And not just to him, but to everyone involved. Knights, senshi, and Negaverse officers who, like Gevaudan and Hawara, realized that this was not the Negaverse they wanted to serve.

Ganymede was angry. He could hear it in her voice as she yelled at him for not thinking before he did anything. She was wrong. He did think about what he wanted to do. He thought about her, about their family, and about a world where Chaos could one day take over. She was wrong in thinking that he wasn’t planning on fighting. Valhalla preferred talking of course, but even he knew this was not the time nor place.

Gevaudan’s attack seemed to be holding for the moment, but there was little time between him attacking and the General Queen Apatite attacking back.

Valhalla saw the chakram thrown at him and Gevaudan and, with the speed of a baseball pitcher dodging a line drive back to the mound, he twisted away in time for the blade to only slice across his armored shoulder. He didn’t have time to assess the damage or cry out in pain, because while Gevaudan held onto his chain, Valhalla lunged forward to throw a punch at the General Queen, hopefully before she had time to recall her weapons.

Watching what was going on, an eternals attack not seeming to do anything, Gevaudan suffering as he tried to fend off the General Queen. He watched Ganymede launch her attack as well. He didn't like this the other knight, Gevaudan was suffering and was injured, and he could do nothing magically to help. That didn't mean he couldn't do anything. maybe an act so stupid, so dangerous would throw the General Queen off and buy them time and someone could handle her - she needed to die and even he would agree with it.


He couldn't do it though...well maybe he could? Could he? Shaking his head, his grip tightening on his weapon, he moved around Erebus and went right up to her and aimed to hit her with the butt end of the duster he held. She was moving though so he might not be able to strike her in the temple as he wanted. She was busy though with the collar about her neck - so maybe he could hit her where he wanted? he was certainly putting as much force behind it as he could in the hopes of dealing whatever damage to her that he could. He hoped that Ganymede's magic would take care of the rest, along with Gavaudan magic.

Erebus, Squire of Saturn

Erebus kept quiet as Ganymede and Gevuadan admonished Valhalla for wanting to talk to Apatite, he didn't know the older Knight so he wasn't about to say anything about what he was planning. As it was it didn't last long between the Eternal (Chaldene) joining in with his attack and the General Queen herself attacking the two Knights all ideas for talking were clearly thrown out the window.

He hopped that they had a Senshi who could heal Gevuadan after the Knight had gotten hit but for now his attention was centered on the fact that Ganymede and Valhalla both jumped in to attack, followed closely by Venice. If it wasn't for the fact that they were in the middle of a battle, he would have facepalmed at the Page attacking the General Queen but as it was indeed a battle he just darted in to swing his oar at Apatite's legs. If the Page got an exasperated look from the Squire it was understandable.

Gunaditonite, Disposable General

Fear flickered in Guna's eyes when he noticed his opponent summon her magic. At first, he expected something offensive and tried to defend, but when the senshi's supposed attack was a buff, he realized his mistake. To be caught so off-guard left him an open target and he took a hard fall when he was swept under his ankles. The spear he had bounced out of his hand and rolled way, leaving Guna a mess.

As stated before, he was nothing without his weapon.

In a panic, he tried to scuttle over toward his weapon and get it in time. But by the looks of it and the distance it had taken, it seemed there wasn't any.

Lieutenant Blazite (disposable

He had just been in the castle turning in the energy he'd gathered earlier that evening, he was proud of how well he was doing. The praise from his Captain was something he sought out, so he didn't fail in completing his few duties, and it was why when he saw the fighting going on he summoned his weapon - a stuffed Blazkin and dove into the fray. He knew the weapon was useless but he felt like throwing it at someone, maybe bounce it off a face or head and distract someone long enough to punch them in the face? he was hopeful to be able to do something, that his Captain would hear and be proud of him.

So much was going on all around him though he didn't think they'd find out...oh well, then he'd do this for himself!

Captain Aquamarine

“Seriously, Jet, don't be a ******** idiot,” Aquamarine said. “I know that's really ******** hard for you sometimes, but under the circumstances you should probably try to manage it. You can't even move your ******** arm. Give me the ******** knife or I'll take it from you by force.”

He was being mean by calling Jet's intelligence into question and, as usual, he didn't give a damn. The fact was that Jet couldn't use one of his arms. That was unavoidable no matter how you looked at the situation. Jet was just being stupid and stubborn. As per usual. He just couldn't stand the fact that he was injured and couldn't get all murder-happy with some Senshi.

Tough luck, Jet. Time to get a new hobby.

That didn't mean Aquamarine wasn't concerned about the situation at all. He could only continue to wonder how the forces of Order managed to make their way in. As far as Aquamarine was aware, it'd never been done before. He always assumed it couldn't be done, and now they were faced with this bullshit.

He really should have stayed back at the apartment tonight.

“Alright then. Let's make some ******** plans,” he said, still eyeing Jet in case Jet continued to refuse to hand over one of his knives. “Because this has already gone to hell and something tells me it's only just started. How about this? We stay here and survey the situation. We keep out of it until it's ******** necessary to get involved. Then you stay behind me, and I keep your a** from getting hurt. Sucks to be you, but you can't afford any more medical bills.”
