Leucite had booked it as fast as he could, sicking to every blind corner he could have found to get away from that damn senshi. Once he felt he'd made it a safe distance, he grabbed the first civilian he could find, but was only able to drain them a little before his paranoia got the better of him. He pocketed the orb, pushed the civilian back into the chaos and was on the move again.
No point in standing still... Good way to get caught.

Having a hand in her chest gripping her starseed, she wasn't new to that. The sensation of pain that it brought, the panic, but she was new to having it completely removed. Wolframite, had not been successful in completely removing the starseed though he had his hand around it twice.
Her heart rate decreased rapidly and breaths more shallow and further apart, pupils dilating. She could feel herself sleeping away, not into unconsciousness, but into death. She wanted to thank her friend for trying to say her, but it was useless, she couldn't even say goodbye.
Voices, drifted into her ear, but didn't registers and suddenly warm hands were putting her starseed back where it belongs. Her heart rate quickly picked up, her breathing quicken with a gasp of air followed by a groan. She was alive and she had never felt more thankful in her life, as she opened dual colored eyes to look at Ganymede, a senshi, she thought was vaguely familiar, but in a passing sort of manner.
"Thank you," she breathed out, rolling and getting onto all fours, a pained and slightly dizzied expression crossing her face. She swore she would puke from the effort, but she sat up groaning once more, "third time is not the charm."
Did she just make a joke? No she was completely serious. It may have been easier in subsequent times to hold from passing out, but the pain was no less and losing your starseed all together was traumatic to say the least.
She was unfocused, but her head turned to the fighting duo and her attention were refocused, her anger rising like an erupting volcano. It was a scary switch, as her eyes narrowed at the general who was taking a beating.
"I swear I'll ...," she muttered attempting to climb slowly and painstakingly to her feet, her struggle was obvious despite her determined expression. She was definitely still winded on top of being injured, but also filled with rightous anger.

Relief filled Ganymede to see the Eternal Senshi regain consciousness, her starseed returned to her body, but that relief was short lived. She tried to stand—too soon, in his opinion—and there was still the matter of Valhalla and Benitoite. He did not want to leave Valhalla to deal with the General on his own, but he also could not make himself part from the Senshi until he was certain she would be alright.
He had once had a Negaverse officer's hand to his chest, in full knowledge that the man intended to reach inside to take his starseed, but the officer had been unable to follow through with the intent at the time, and so Ganymede had been saved the experience. He could not imagine what it felt like, neither to have it taken nor to have it returned, but the fear of it was very real.
For a brief moment and in a flash of morbid curiosity he wondered what had become of that officer—he couldn't even remember the man's name, if he'd ever even heard it—but he pushed the thought aside and shook away his memories of Elysion and focused instead on the here and now.
"Take it easy," he cautioned, rising slowly with the Senshi, standing close to support her if she should need the assistance.
"You should sit down," he said. "Rest. Val'll... he'll take care of it."
He did not sound as confident as he might have liked to. It wasn't that he didn't think Valhalla could handle things himself. Val was taller, broader, and heavier than the General, who wasn't much bigger than Ganymede was (if he was any bigger at all), but Valhalla was also much more scrupulous. Ganymede could not say the same for the officers of the Negaverse; he didn't trust Benitoite not to do something utterly depraved.
And to think the last time they'd spoken Benitoite had seemed much more tame than other officers Ganymede could mention—deluded, of course, but nothing quite like this.
Then again, Benitoite had been the one to eat a starseed in front of him during the ambush. He probably should have known better than to think he was above this sort of crazed behavior.
"Don't get yourself in over your head," Ganymede mumbled, unsure if the sentiment was meant more for the Senshi he had saved, or Valhalla.

The more Benitoite spoke, the more Valhalla came to the conclusion that the General had completely lost his mind. He was talking about killing like it was a good thing, like ruining the lives of people was what he strived for. He didn't seem to care that he might just be killing his own family, his friends. When Valhalla found out that his brothers were both involved in this war, he was both terrified and relived. Terrified over the fact that they were at such a high risk of getting hurt or worse, but relieved to know that they were at least on his side...
What would he have done if he found out his own brother was a Negaverse officer? Surely it had to be the same for others. Friends fighting friends and never realizing it, never knowing until it was too late.
There were many things Valhalla wanted to ask of the General — what had he meant about this not being his plan? Was there someone specific behind it? Could they be stopped? But his attention was immediately drawn to the mention of two starseeds.
Hands gripped tighter on Benitoite's shoulder's as he made an attempt to headbutt Valhalla, but the knight was over twice his size and had gravity to his advantage. He gave the General another rough shake, forcing him back down on the ground. "Where are they??" he demanded, looking over the slighter figure to try and determine the location of the starseeds. In his jacket pocket? It was worth checking. Keeping one hand pinned against Benitoite's collarbone, Valhalla reached down to riffle through his clothes once more, determined to find them. If he could find a way to release the energy that had been collected as well, he'd do that, too.

While he knew it was always a possibility to have someone he knew, someone who he thought was only a civilian, involved in this war he didn't think it true. He didn't figure Lily or her brother involved, and his parents he was sure weren't. Friends weren't something he had many of and nearly all were already involved in the war on the side of chaos. So he didn't feel he had much to worry himself over, and the few times he did worry over it he shoved it aside quickly. If he let those thoughts fester he might not be able to do his duties properly.
As he was once again shaken his neck snapped back, as his head was lifted from the ground along with his upper half, and the back of his head smacked the ground with a crack sound. Gasping he bit down on his lip, hard, to keep from making another sound. His lip, already split, opened further as a few more drops of blood fell. He'd have a knot on the back of his head when this was done with. He'd need an ice pack and some topical slave, as he didn't like pain killers of any normal pharmaceutical kind. That twisted smile widened as he stared at the knight, meeting the others eyes. "Iti's too late, even if you find them. There dead...and I'll never tell where I've got their starseeds." The energy orbs could be shattered but the starseeds....now those he didn't know what would happen if they were shattered, the owners were surely dead, and who would go taking the two items and try and find the people they'd come from. Maybe if he could get them free from his pocket, on his own, and toss them a youma or two would get them? The knight was at the wrong pocket but would surely go for the right one any moment. He didn't have time to waste. So wriggling under the figure he managed to get his hand into the correct pocket, his left one, and pulled out the two items and tossed them and watched in satisfaction as a youma did just that. Like a moth to flame a large youma swooped down from the air and snatched up the two softly glowing objects and took off with them.
"I believe they are with the youma - he might return them....might not also."

Now that he was sure he'd lost the senshi, Leucite was able to take his time and drain his targets. He once again focused on the reason they were here, and did his best to stay in the shadows as he gathered.
Leucite was still having issues completely regaining his focus. His current target was also struggling a lot more than the others, so he wasn't able to gather as much as he'd nearly liked. Pocketing what he could, he moved on.

Leucite was finally getting back into the groove, finally able to drain another target without any interruption what so ever. Though he was beginning to think the carnival was beginning to thin a bit, but it was hard to tell.
He continued to drain energy from passers by, but remained on the move. He was having trouble concentrating. He kept running into females that reminded him too much of his girlfriend and that didn't help matters. Sighing as he let another one escape, he made his way around a blind corner to see if he could get his senses back into order.

"Don't be too mean, she saved me," Zia chided, but maybe not as sincerely as she should've. Delphi had rescued her from being mauled further, but there was a small part of her that was angry for reasons she couldn't place.
This entire situation made her stressed and angry and increasing pain of her increasingly bloody arm was not helping, mostly because it was the realization that she had actually gotten seriously hurt.
"Okay, well," She said with great effort to keep her voice calm and even, especially as she stared at her own wounds like she couldn't look at anything else, "Maybe it is time to go."

She wobbled and was unstable on her feet, but she was up on her feet. The eternal was made of tougher stuff apparently. Still Ganymede's words did reach her and she smiled looking to Valhalla who was giving the general what for, her anger deflating somewhat, not that she had enough energy to stay angry. She couldn't really act, so the anger fled, the passing adrenaline rush making her slightly shaky. She gave a nod to Ganymede, but shook her head.
As dizzied as she felt, she was coming around, she put a hand on the other's shoulder to steady herself. "I don't think I should sit. I need to shake this," she said eyeing the chaos around them. "I can't have you preoccupied with me or be a sitting duck, when youma and negaversers are killing and injuring people."
She released the other, eyeing Valhalla and Benitoite, not trusting the general at all, but impressed with Val. She looked back to Ganymede, missing the starseed toss, not really sure what to say or even do at the moment. "We need to find out what started all this and put an end to it. It's too much, we're ... it doesn't feel like we're helping."
She groaned only feeling slight less disoriented, but regaining some of the color, clearly on her way to less of a wreck, but only slightly so.

He stopped only long enough to grab another male who'd abandoned his date to the whiles of a youma. Slamming him against the wall, his hand found the man's chest and entered, extracting his starseed and pocketing it. Letting the body go, he walked on.
There would be no wanting for energy when this was all said and done.
Persephone had not expected to be the target of a youma attack so soon after disengaging from the Negaverse officer, but she suddenly found herself the target of a rather large snakelike creature, which had slithered over to her while she was distracted and was now slowly wrapping itself around her legs.
s**t. She looked around, and considered calling for help - but everyone else seemed engaged; someone with an Order signature that was not-quite-Senshi fighting a General she recognized - s**t, was that really Benitoite? He'd seemed so reasonable when she'd met him before! She also spotted one Eternal supporting another, and the second didn't look like she was in entirely good shape.
She didn't need to distract them; she could handle one nasty, creepy-crawly youma on her own, right? She'd gotten the other one earlier! She pounded at it, to little effect. The thing just hissed at her in annoyance and snapped at her wrists. Crap.

There was part of him that felt horrible for what he was doing to Benitoite. Felt horrible for having punched him, and again for forcing him down against the ground. But those sympathies vanished every time he was reminded that this boy had killed... Willingly killed others, thinking that he was right for his actions.
"No!" Valhalla shouted, forcing Benitoite down once more, watching as he managed to toss the starseeds he'd been searching for to a youma. "Ganymede!" the knight called, looking wildly around for the Eternal, spotting him with Maia, but he couldn't allow himself to feel relieved in her recovery just yet. There were other important things to worry about. "That youma has two starseeds! This little a*****e threw them!"
He wasn't about to get up and leave Benitoite to run off and kill even more. Valhalla trusted Ganymede would do his best to recover the starseeds, and even if it was too late to revive those they belonged to, they would have at least prevented the Negaverse from getting their filthy hands on them.
"You will be held accountable for you actions," he promised the General, his usually bright eyes flashing with venom. "Maia, do you see any rope we could use?" he called to her, finally taking just a moment to look her over. She looked paler than usual, but she was still up on her feet. "Are you okay?" he asked, making sure to keep his hands gripped tightly to the Nega's shoulders.

"It never feels like we're helping," Ganymede mumbled.
He let the Eternal take his shoulder in a steadying grip, intent on staying there for as long as she needed. He could empathize with her sentiments, with her desire to shake the experience off, move on, and keeping going, do what she could to help when there didn't appear to be anything they could do to put a stop to it, but he could not squash the feeling that she should be sitting and resting, not fretting about things neither of them had the power to control.
There was too much going on, he thought, for one Senshi to make a difference. She'd been through enough for one night. She'd done her best. Pushing herself, forcing herself to do more, wouldn't do anything of consequence but put her in further danger—from the Negaverse, from the youma, and from herself.
Or maybe he was underestimating her. Maybe it wasn't that she was doing too much; maybe it was that he wasn't doing enough.
Valhalla's shout alerted him, and Ganymede turned to look around for the source of Valhalla's concern. There were plenty of youma in the area, but his sights set on one relatively close to Valhalla and the General making a move to scamper off. With a squeeze of reassurance to one of the Eternal Senshi's arms, Ganymede pulled away from her to go after it.
"Got it!" he called back.
He didn't expect to be able to catch up with it, and in any case he didn't want to go too far from the scene in case his help was needed. Along the way he came across a large stuffed animal lying on the ground, likely dropped by some carnival goer in the chaos. He picked it up and tossed it, not expecting a plush toy to do any damage, but it hit its mark and succeeded in startling the youma, which skidded to a stop and whipped around to growl ferociously.
It stared at him, considering its option. Either leave with it's prizes or come after him. Ganymede bent over for something else to throw and made the decision for it. As soon as the piece of debris struck its side, the youma lunged and made a swipe at him. Ganymede jumped back quickly and barely managed to avoid it's claws. They caught his corset and tore it, one claw dragging down a line of boning, but Ganymede was lucky and avoided broken skin.
The youma did not release the starseeds.
"Okay, well, we can do this the hard way if you want," Ganymede said.
