Welcome to Gaia! ::

Good grief, the girl was making a horrible racket, if he'd ever heard one. It was really no wonder he'd been attracted to the site of the battle, still in his uniform, his hand clutching the starseed of a man he'd been able to ambush previously that night. It'd been easier than normal, really - most people seemed to be indoors, or at some kind of party; it'd be rather irresponsible of the man to have been walking the dimly lighted streets alone.

Rhodizite had been ready to call it a night after he'd succeed in retrieving the human's starseed, but the racket in the near distance had attracted his attention. Curiosity had filled him and he allowed himself to get a closer look from the safety of the shadows. He'd managed to catch sight of a big portion of the battle, leaning behind a nearby tree. The senshi in question didn't seem to have any sort of tracking attack and she was alone. Not to mention tired out from her battle with the Youma she'd encountered. Normal he didn't like to charge into battle without a well thought out plan, but in his humble opinion, it looked like a rather good opportunity; the senshi was tired and she'd been using her attack rather relentlessly (hell, she'd probably been using it before he'd arrived on the scene), which probably meant she was not only worn out physically from the battle, possibly mentally. He wondered if she could handle another battle.

Her attack seemed to have some sort of effect on metals, which was a bit annoying, taking into account his weapon was a chain, but he thought that he could use that to his favor too.

Stepping out of the shadows from behind the tree, Rhodizite came into the light, the starseed no longer in sight, probably stored away somewhere, "You make a godawful racket when you fight," he said rather casually to her - there was no sarcasm in his voice, and no biting remark. It was almost as if he were talking to some random person about the time or weather, "I think you might want to work on that - you might attract unwanted attention," and that said, he pulled out his bone and chain, looking at her in an attempt to figure out a good opening so he might make this as clean and fast as possible.

"Oh, I know as much because what I've been watching was utter chaos. No one plans for utter chaos - you can't help your attack being noisy," for an 'evil' persona, he was being fairly pleasent. His stance was tense, ready for action, but it seemed he wasn't playing the superiority card whatsoever. In fact, it looked like he was being horribly careful and taking in his surroundings as he spoke, "Besides, I've been watching the fight. I know you must be rather tired, and you had absolutely no way to know I was there in the first place."

In all honesty, he too should have been working in pairs, what with the Zodiacs running amok, not to mention Kunzite. He'd been warned, but he had not yet found a partner (he wasn't all too used to teamwork) and he was confident he could make some sort of hasty retreat if the waters got too warm. For now though, he felt he had the upper hand, and the opportunity was just too good of one for him to let go.

"I sincerely doubt that," he drawled softly, "I was watching the whole scene, and any team mate of value would have come to help you destroy that Youma. You were struggling," and it was then he finally charged forward. He kept the bone in his hand, but tried to maintain the metal chain behind him, hoping he'd move too fast for her to notice it was metallic - if he used the element of surprise, he might be able to bind her hands with the chain and immobilize her just long enough to snatch her starseed.

He'd been hoping to catch her by surprise, so when the girl moved to throw the hubcap towards him, he clicked his tongue over his teeth in frustration. Unfortunately for him, her plan worked - if mildly at least, because Rhodizite was forced to slow down, the chain he'd been hoping to keep hidden till he was just a tad closer snapping out of it's hiding place to be used almost like a whip against the projectile in an attempt to divert it's trajectory. He had no time to change his course of action though and even though the damned lid graced him (he'd only had time to divert most of the impact), he continued to rushed forward.

It was clear, however, that he'd been annoyed because now the chain was in plain sight and he had no time to pull away and rethink his attack. He had to continue forth and hope that it would still work, "Your bones," he told her with a hiss as he launched the chain her way, aiming to wrap it around one of her wrists, "Will shatter."

He was going to have to change his damned line, because it sounded corny as all ********, and he knew it. That was something to ponder back home though, not now.

Huh. Apparently luck was really on his side today - he hadn't planned for his chain to wrap around her wrist just as soon as she'd started her attack (in all honesty, he was surprised she still had energy to call on the attack once more, he had to give her that much). Rhodizite wasn't about to make poor use of his luck though, and with a yank of the chain, he tried to force her forward and towards him - he wasn't planning on using her like a shield (though she HAD set herself up for the task, no matter what he wanted), and wasn't planning on torturing her.

In fact, he planned on taking the moment's chaos to steal her star seed; swiftly, efficiently and as painlessly as possible, "Well, Sailor Polaris," he drawled as he yanked the chain nearer and nearer his way, preparing himself for the final blow, "It's been a pleasure, but I'm afraid this ends here," it was hissed as he finally reached out towards her, aiming to turn her around and plunge his hand into her back.

Sadly, the pose he was trying to hold, plus the fact he was doing his best avoiding the projectiles that she'd lifted off the ground... was making the whole 'yanking her star seed' a terribly frustrating business. Even though his hand had gone into the darkness, he couldn't seem to find the sodding thing. In his defense, it was hard to dodge, hold the senshi with the blasted chain AND fish around the dark void.

Serpentarius had just got back in from her own patrol around the school, for once glad that it was a calm night for her. Pushing her hair from her face, she take one step up the stairs when she heard the scream. A female screaming?

"Oh you have got to be kidding me..."

This better be someone getting hurt, and not a girl who saw a bug. Turning in her boots, she dash down the hallway towards the scream. The whole time praying that this wasn't another fight. She didn't want to fight, in fact she hated this part of being a scout more then the skirt.

Just as she would have rounded the corner, she saw her. The girl from the other night, Polaris. With a man hand in her chest? Was she really seeing this? Was this one of those Negacreep?

She really didn't have time to think, not from the pain coming off of Polaris's face. Without a second thought, she holds her hands out "SERPENTS KISS!" the green glowing snake forms and flew through the air towards the man's shoulder. Its jaw wide, ready to bite down the moment it makes contact.

((I wasn't gonna post again, but what the hey. I'll do a wrap up so you guys can use it for your growths :3 If either of you want to toss in final posts though that's cool))

-It had been so cold... so dark, every will in her body to buck and kick subdued by the magic that swept over her body when his hand had gone in. She barely registered the arrival of her savior, only moving when finally and suddenly she slipped from his grasp, falling to the ground with a thud.

Her chest heaved with exhaltations of mixed relief and terror. Her heart fluttered like a hummingbird and she was quite frightened would burst out of her chest and escape. When she was able to she stared at her enemy above her, seemingly statue still.

Serpentarius had wrapped her arms under Polaris', lifted her from the ground and began to tug. Her booted feet had begun to move even as her eyes stayed locked on Rhodizite in the slowly gaining distance. Even away from him she could feel the fear ebbing at her.. as if frightened he'd break from his trance any moment and have her once again. It was time to escape, Polaris.. was clearly in no shape to fight. Sometimes you just had to take the clean getaway. Luck didn't often come along twice in one day.

But one thing was for sure.. Polaris would forever be grateful to her blonde savior.-
