The sun was melting into the horizion like a strawberry lollipop dissolving in orange-soda. The world had gone cherry and orange from building to... hospital.
Abeline Froust had only been released from the hospital a few days ago herself, and here she was, heading back in. She wasn't the sort to turn away from something that frightened her, but she was just a little worried that the nurses might strap her to a bed and force more of that cough-medicine tasting jello down her throat if she did. Yeah, it was childish and Abeline squared her shoulders. Besides, she was a senshi now, and if the nurses got too out of hand, she'd just put them inside a bubble and run.
It was a good plan, and, comforting, and Abeline walked through those sliding doors like a young lady in charge of herself. The nurses paid her no-mind whatsoever. They had their hands full with other issues.
Froust was looking for someone, her fetish for boys with pale hair, notwithstanding, she wanted to know if her lost love was really... y'know... lost. And the hospital did have a lot of students from Barren Pines. So, her face determined, if not a little scary, she started checking rooms, one-at-a-time.

It was only after seeing that dark barrier that surrounded the "Elite" school, Barren Pines, that Ellie gave a damn. She could have cared less about going to such a school, even when enrollment opened up to the general public. Jared and Zuniga had told her should could definitely get in with her skills in the garage, but she had stubbornly refused to be sweet-talked into going to a school where she'd have to work hard. You never went to one of those schools without being forced to work hard. It had even been a bit more disturbing when the news claimed this whole instance was some sort of illegal crime ring of sorts. Her parents discussed it at length, but Ellie, having a bit more insight of This is the Negaverse, would not be swayed into believing such an outrageous story.
She might not have been the most clever of sleuths, but using some of her spare time, the tomboy decided that loitering around the hospital after school was a wise manner to spend her time. As some blue-haired girl passed through the sliding door, Ellie casually tossed a glance in her general direction. The blonde had just merely been hanging out in the waiting area, lazily leaning her head back into the wall behind her. The excuse of waiting to visit her aunt was good enough to get by, staff normally not asking much beyond her purpose of waiting. They were too busy with all those Barren Pines victims.
God, this is so boring, why the hell am I doing this again? she asked herself in thought.

 Trinity Young, her favorite nurse, had called her in for not the usual reason, which was visiting the Barren Pines patients, but, baby-sitting at the hospital day-care. These past two weeks or so, day in and day out, Ji-Yeon Nae was having trouble balancing her duties as a good citizen by day, useless Senshi of Healing by night. It wore her out more than any hang-over could affect her, really. Thank the heavens, her 'shift' was finally over. "Thanks, Ji-Yeon! I owe ya one!" Trinity grinned shyly. That woman was always passing her own nursing duties onto her. Whatever. It had been a bit fun playing Legos and watching Veggie Tales for two hours or so.
However, since the second she had entered the hospital that morning, a wave of uneasiness had swept over her, and defiantly refused to leave. Half of the emotion was dangerous, but the other half was one of familiarity. Could there be more Senshi hanging around the hospital? No way...She needed a rest. Perhaps the waiting area? As she gloomily walked towards there, she spotted a familiar head of blonde. A fellow Meadowview, was it? However, she couldn't muster the nerve to say a hello. The girl didn't even know who the hell she was. Ah, well, whatever. An aura of safety radiated from her, and that was all that mattered, for now, she would be okay.

She was leaving that night, her parents deciding that it was time for her to come home and rest before the start of the new school semester. She was glad for it, she guessed, as her room had much more for her to do for occupying her time. The difference was, and the cause of her hesitation, was there was no Ignacio.
Having all ready said her goodbyes to him, though she'd see her "brother" again she was sure, there was one more person she felt utterly compelled to say good bye to. Which was why she found herself staring at the door to the room marked "Crowley" on the plate. She hadn't come to see him since the day she got lost to her room but she wouldn't have felt right not saying a farewell. Oddly enough. A delicate hand raised to knock on the door before she opened it a little bit to poke her head in.
"Mr. Crow- Azzo, are you in here? It's Melody."

Azzo's head perked up. He was lulling in and out, Sadly because he had nothing to do. His hands had been fiddling with puppets again. His ribs were getting better, it was less painful to do some things, but they still wouldn't let him get up.
"Yeah, I'm here.... As always." He said the last part sounded tired, almost sad that he was still stuck in that blasted room. "Come on in Melody." He added the last be sounding a little more cheerful.

The first room that Froust checked was empty, there was an intern turning down the beds and Abe quickly stepped back out and moved to the next room. She wasn't reading name-tags. Eventually someone from the Pines would show up.
Inside was Melody and Azzo. Froust hadn't had much interaction between these two when they'd been in Pines and she brushed her hair over her shoulder and asked very sharply. "What are you two doing in here?"
Which was really more 'I'm so glad you're both alive, Azzo, you don't look so well, Melody, please, what do you remember of our horrific ordeal?' in Abeline's mind. She had a bit of a sinking sensation from the hospital in general, and it hadn't really occurred to her that something might actually be out of place.
Perhaps that intern had looked a little crazy after all...
Abeline took a step back, glancing up and down the corridor. It was suspicious behavior from a young school student.... as though she were looking to make sure she was unobserved. And then, pushing with Melody into the room, Froust moved to close the door. She had a few questions.

Blue-haired girl wandered off, and some dark-haired girl popped by the waiting room. With the most eloquent of greetings, she offered this newcomer a simple "Sup?" Ellie nodded her head one time towards this girl to accent her salutation. This girl looked vaguely familiar. Then again, a lot of people looked "vaguely" familiar these days. There were lots of kids that went to her school that she recognized by face, but didn't even know their name.
Being the bored teen she was, she figured that striking up a random conversation couldn't hurt at all. With the enthusiasm of a child that got called up to the front of a classroom to read a report on taxes, she asked "So, what'cha in fer? Ya look tired, kiddo!" Lazily, she hoisted her head up and away from the wall and leaned forward in a boyish fashion. She smiled as if she was amused, despite the fact she was far from it so far.

The youma easily forgot the names of the lieutenants, it seemed that everyday a new one would appear. Annoying. Anyways, it had been ordered to check out the damn hospital; in case there were any traces of Zodiac senshi left. It had cleverly disguised itself under a glamour, into a human that was, one that suited the hospital, a nurse. It's blue skin had translated into a fiery head of blue curls, but it's malicious glowing yellow eyes stayed the same, same with it's jagged white teeth. The human body was too confining, really, and what was with those damned stupid hand motions people were throwing at it. Smiling, was it? It merely scowled in response. And it was so hungry...Suddenly an alluring waft flowed into its' human nostrils. Star-seeds. One. Two. Three! Holy. Its' master would be all too pleased! Now, time to gather them all together. How should it do this? Pursing human lips, it slowly turned into a disgustingly sly grin. Humans were so damn paranoid all the time; fearing death was around every corner. Making sure nobody was watching, it grew out its' nails into what was a claw of some sort, and shattered glass, and the fire alarm went off. Two star-seeds were next to each other, the last one was close-by...
Ellie Spectre had chatted her up; and she was oh-so friendly too! She wouldn't lose this chance to meet a new friend, so Ji-Yeon grinned widely in response. "Nothing much, just doing hospital-" Suddenly, fear struck her. Something was approaching. Just as she felt this, the hospitals' fire alarm went beserk. People went scattering in all directions, nurses hurrying towards exits, pushing patients in wheelchairs. Something was off. The alarm felt fake, as if someone had done it on purpose. It was her gut feeling, but what they had to do was not run outside, but wait inside, for the trouble to come. Looking worriedly at Ellie once again, she shouted, voice trembling just a little, "Follow me!" The girl probably thought she was delusional, the exit was right there. In a panicked daze, Ji-Yeon ran around the hospital. A feeling of temporary safety came from a particular room. She bust in, only to see two familiar faces, both Meadowviewers. The last was a pretty girl with a gorgeous head of blue. Introducing herself, "Um...Hey guys. I'm Ji-Yeon, and just saying, we're probably safer in here. The fire alarm is false."
Hah! What the hell, now they were all gathered in the same room. What an easy job. Still in the form of a nurse, it grinned maliciously, and entered. "Why, hello there, all."

"Oh, don't sound like that Azzo. You won't always be here," came the giggle of a reply. She had been about to enter, hearing Azzo's voice say it was safe, when some one else found it fit to join them. Melody blinked rapidly, brown eyes showing her confusion at this girl she didn't know and went to reply to her. And then she had been pushed into the room and she frowned.
She opted to say nothing at all to this girl, it wasn't her style to just ignore some one so rudely but she was really only here to say her goodbyes and well wishes to Azzo, and moved quickly for the bedside. "Why does this place always have to be so weird," the blonde murmured as she moved to sit down next to the boy in the bed.
He'd really only given her a shrug at her murmur, probably doing his best to not think about the nurses she was sure, golden eyes watching her go to sit. And then he felt something that made his spine tingle and he sat up straight. Which wasn't the best thing to do when he found himself flinching, damn these broken ribs.
Melody reached out to stop him from doing so, he was injured darn it!, when she paused and felt the same sensation tingling down her back and a small gasping noise left parted lips that were still unpainted. What... was this uncomfortable feeling? And why did it feel so familiar?
No answers could be given, she didn't even get to ask the question aloud when the fire alarms went off. "Oh good grief!" she cried out, moving to stand as Azzo motioned for his robe near by. "How in the world can this day get any weirder?"
Enter another girl barging into the room and swearing this room was the safest place to be, as the blonde handed Azzo his robe, followed by a woman who very much made Melody want to scream. Oh this was not good.

Azzo slipped the robe on quickly eyes at the door. He slid off the bed using it to steady himself when the girls busted in he turned around, a little too fast he wrinkled his nose.
He was grabbing for a near by empty IV stand, giving Ji-Yeon a nod hello. When the lady... no monster, entered the room. He was standing in front of Melody trying not to show the fact that his ribs were throbbing in protest at him actually moving around.
"What do you want?" He asked her holding the IV stand as he edged his way in front of the other girls, "Because, all you'll get here is a bashed in head."
Normally he wouldnt'n't've been so willing to fight, but something in him sparked the fact that the only weapon like thing in here was an IV stand, he had it in hands, and the girls needed protecting, not to mention they were trapped rats if this thing didn't leave.
It was times like this he wished he'd taken some sort of defensive training classes. At least it didn't take much to swing around an object and hope it hit something. He was watching the blue haired thing, the alarm was giving him a headache. The nurses, if they saw him would give him hell.

Froust had lots of questions for these two- questions that she wasn't sure they'd be able to answer, but all the same... Zue had told them a little, and Abeline remembered that the surviving students with the Zodiacs didn't remember anything anyway. Perhaps it was best, given a choice, she might have wanted to forget things herself.
Abeline was going to say...a few things, when the fire-alarm triggered suddenly. She frowned, and was promptly flattened against the wall as the door burst open and Ji-Yeon errupted through in a flurry of words and vague motions. What the fu--
And then a very creepy looking nurse poked her head into the room. Abeline's eyes widened, her heartbeat beginning to race as she took in the woman's sinister, crooked smile, and her long nail--claws. Was this a youma? Or worse, a Barren Pines student cross-dressing in a nurses outfit who was still in that terrible zombie-state?
Abeline's fingers strayed to her purse, fumbling around for the little golden pen inside.
"Hello. Your face looks like a hyena is having a fit inside your mouth." Yeah, sometimes Abeline spoke before her brain caught up.

Well, this afternoon went from boring to interesting in about a few seconds. Panicking apparently was the correct course of action to take when the fire alarm went off. Though the girl she had just attempted to talk to seemed anxious to move forward quickly, Ellie had other things in mind. She rolled her shoulders into a shrug and hoisted her body into standing. This dark-haired girl seemed to know her way around the hospital. Ellie was not so fortunate.
Having nothing better to do, she followed the short girl (well, in comparison to herself) with a casual jog. When she stopped, they were in a room with some more kids about their age.
"Well... that's just great..." she grunted after entering, seeing that this obviously was not an exit. She swiveled around to leave again and look for the real exit, but instead found a nurse standing there. This was more than just a bit odd. She was about to point out how she got lost, when one of the girls (she didn't see who) just threw out an insult at the nurse's expense. Had she been a bit more polite, she might have felt ashamed in what she did.
However, instead, she totally busted up laughing, with good hearty sounds escaping her mouth. And she didn't feel bad about it at all. "Oh god! OH GOD!! SHE IS SO RIGHT! HA HA HA HA!!!" After belting out such a laugh, the blonde felt a bit out of air. With a couple of chuckles sneaking out, she finally mentioned "Oh, seriously... took a wrong turn. If ya'd move, then I'll get on m'way..." She then used her hand to try and literally guide this ugly excuse for a nurse out of her way. Sh*t was going down, and Ellie was not about to miss it.

 Ji-Yeon had found Abeline's commentary out-of-this-world hilarious, and Ellie's response to that even more ridiculously funny. However, unlike the two previous girls, she was all "serious business". She needed to make a move quickly, or else somebody else could get hurt. As the Senshi of Healing, she couldn't do much but temporarily distract the youma. Honestly, at this point, she couldn't care less whether her classmates saw her transforming into a sailor-suited female of 'justice'. Swallowing as if it would give her more courage, Ji-Yeon wrapped her hand around the golden and pink pen, raising it in the air, and shouted with all the might she could muster, "SIRONA POWER, MAKE-UP!"
For a reason unbeknownst to her, she automatically struck a cheesy pose. "Um, time to give you plastic surgery?" God, she could be so awkward, standing there. Thankfully, the youma transformed, before she regretted her moves.
The youma in nurse form cackled, yellow eyes gleaming, looking at each of the five teenagers, as if they were a meal to feast upon. "All the better for me, honey. I suppose I can show you my true form then." Oh, yes, Queen Beryl would be most pleased if it managed to do this. It would be a piece of cake after all, the damn girl who had just transformed hadn't the slightest clue as to what she was doing. Suddenly, it began morph, from a human, to a huge combination of both snake and a human body. The top half was human alright, but it towered to the ceiling. It's tail was well, rather large, fat, blue, and deadly. One knock from that and most people would pass out.
What now?

Still another showed up and worse yet Azzo was trying to play the hero! She wanted to protest, drag him back where it was safe, but before she could even move, insults were thrown and laughter was had by some. At least they were afraid...
"A-Azzo come back!" she called out slightly, voice never reaching higher then "inside voice" and a pathetic attempt to reach out for him.
And then there was a senshi before them, one of the girls having transformed before their very eyes and she was stunned. This was the first time she'd ever seen one of them up close, and never had she dreamed that the senshi could be normal civilians like herself. The thoughts were fleeting as the nurse turned out to not be a nurse at all, were any of them really surprised?, and instead a huge snake like monster who would likely have no problem killing them what-so-ever.
Melody swallowed harshly, brown eyes wide. Today was just not her day...

Azzo was still waving around the IV stand, however he was too busying fussing at Ellie to notice that one of the girls has turned out to be a 'terrorist senshi.' His scolding went a bit like, "Are you DAFT Blondie!? Do you want to get eaten by that....."
He had trialed off when it transformed eyes growing large. Almost like a puppy with it's tail between its legs he backed up a few paces. "Monster...." He finished. It sounded so great before it turned out to really BE one.
He however keep the IV stand in between him and it trying to shoo the thing away. Great.... just wanted to deal with today. A giant snake lady. However his good arm was the one being used to wave around the IV stand, so it'd easily be able to be removed from him. He was now trying to keep one eye on the tail and one the head. He didn't need that tail breaking anymore ribs.
"Where's security when you need them..... with a cattle prod.. maybe..." He was muttering under his breath now. Still trying to stand in front of the girls as much as possible.
