It was late, dark, and the air was cold. The kind of cold where one could see their breath in front of them, like a fine mist. For the most part, things were quiet. Until you hit the back end of Destiny City. The clap of boots on pavement trod harshly along under the foot of a girl who lacked in time to appreciate the clouds of breath curling from her lips as she panted, running along. An old alley cat stuck it's head out of a garbage can, long enough to catch the breeze of a purple haired senshi zooming by him. It chewed on it's meager prize, leftover something or other, one could not quite tell exactly what, for a moment. It did not seem terribly interested in what the crazy humans were up to, but it's fur stood up on end as another, well, it wasn't exactly human, creature came rushing up behind.
"For crap's sake." the girl yelped, an explosion landing near her, causing her to jump in her skin. "Just what I didn't need tonight." she groaned. Unfortunately for her, the creature did not seem to be phased by her blinding attack. She'd realized a little to late that the hair covering it's 'eyes' was actually just covering where eyes should have been.
After that it was less than impressed when she had landed a kick square into it's chest. It was about that time when the senshi had realized (albeit a little on the late side) that the Youma had the uncanny ability to make things explode.
So here she was, left trying to throw down with a creature that was none to impressed with the boot print all up in it's face. Her saving grace seemed to be that there was a cooldown time between attacks. Based on how long she had to run between the need to dodge oncoming shrapnel, about two, two and a half minutes.
"Ahh!" another explosion, the senshi let herself drop to the ground, rolling forward and picking herself back up to her feet. She felt somewhat lucky that they'd been doing cardio in gym this week. Her legs were burning, and the Youma didn't seem to be bothered. Then again, it didn't really seem to run, it just sort of hovered above the ground. Must be nice, the thought ran through the senshi of St.Elmo's Fire's head.
Of all the things to be doing this evening, she'd rather be studying.

She'd just been heading home from returning to the movie theater to make sure that the strange monster she and Beth had fought the other day had been 'alone'.
She was not expecting, or to be honest, anticipating finding another Yoma so soon. Was it just her luck? or were they becoming more and more prevalent?
And was that another Senshi running from it?! She had to help! Thank Heavens she was already Henshin-ed up, a risk yes but she'd been leary of alley ways for changing after the previous evening's Yoma had come OUT of one.
"BAD BLOOD!!" She cried charging forward and fumbling to p***k her finger on the pin at her collar. She Flicked her hand out to spray the tiny red needles at it for whatever good it would do. She -really- didn't want to resort to trying to stab one with her hairpins in desperation. That just seemed -so- wrong on so many levels.

As "BAD BLOOD!!" was cried out, Navis whipped around to catch a glimpse of the small, red needles tearing across the creature's arm. The Yoma made a terrible, shrill scream, grasping where it'd been hit with it's free arm. The sound caused a shiver to run up Navis' back, reminding her of how she felt when nails scraped along a chalk board. It just wasn't right.
She didn't let it bother her for too long, however, taking the moment of weakness on the creature's part to bring her foot crashing into it's side. Go go magical boot in the side! Let's face it, magical boot up the a** just didn't appeal to her, or likely anyone else in the nearby vicinity.
Moving quickly back as the Yoma lashed out, she noted that it's focus seemed to turn towards where the red needle attack had come from. It was then she got a brief glance at the, what she could only assume was another senshi. Before she could get a good look the yoma's hand begin to light up as it had earlier.
"O shi-- GET DOWN!" she screamed out across the alley.

Ume gasped slightly at the warning and took it to heart, Dropping as low as she could without lying on the pavement and covering her head with her arms and hands.
Well... she thought a touch darkly. At least if it really hurts me we'll know if a deeper cut makes more needles?

Barring shrapnel flying her way, Argo Navis didn't seem to be in harms way for this moment. Having moved to the side of the alleyway, her eyes skimmed around the area, looking for something to help. There wasn't too much available, a couple of garbage bags hanging out of an overstuffed dumpster, and a handful of singular, tin garbage cans.
As she over-viewed the situation in those few lapsing moments, her head snapped up as the Yoma's attack went flying.
Crap on a cracker, she was useless.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY ATTACKS?" the new comer called to you as she pulled free one of the hair pins holding back part of her hair causing it to loosen and palmed it.
"I have...um... Well their HAIR pins but I uh...well a friend used them to stab one of these the other day!! If you need one..." She let the rest hang unspoken. If she needed one the new comer would be glad to lend her a hand.

"I DO BUT ALL IT DOES IS BLIND AND THE DAMN THING HAS NO EYES!" Navis yelled back across to the darker haired woman.
"Grr..." the Yoma seemed to be agitated with the situation, dodging senshi, and an arm slowly healing up. Navis looked around one more time, eyes falling on the tin trash cans. Running over to one she grabbed the lid off it, ignoring the rat that was now looking up at her from inside. She ran towards the Yoma as it began to light up with another attack...
CRACK. The senshi managed to bring the lid crushing into the creatures face, sending it flying back into the wall. One benefit to the thing not actually being grounded, lot easier to send it moving. Hah. Trash can lid 1!
Looking back towards the other senshi, Navis called out "You got any of those red needles left in ya?" she was trying hard not to think of what was done with the hair pins she'd mentioned as use of a weapon. She retained her own in her hair, and the idea of using them in such a manner had never really crossed her mind before.

"I think so!" the young woman nodded and stuck the hairpin back through her hair for a moment before reaching to the brooch at her collar for one reason or another.
"BAD BLOOD!" She cried and flicked her hand again towards it to whatever end it might avail them.
How -were- they going to kill this thing? If they could get it 'down' for a moment perhaps she could...ugh, put a hair pin through the base of its neck and with a little luck into its brain, if...well if it had one.

Argo Navis pulled the trash can lid up in front of her, Yoma blood splattering up from wherever her current ally's attack had landed. The thing shrieked out in pain again. Navis' brain reeled, trying to figure out something to do. The creature was pulling itself back up to it's feet though, more angry than ever.
Without missing a beat (thank goodness for adrenaline surges), the senshi brought the lid back against the Yoma again, sending it back towards the ally walls again. Momentarily it made her think of playing baseball. A dangerous, dangerous game of baseball.
She peered over, looking at the creature, it was beaten up pretty well between the pair of them, but the damn thing just would not stay down.
"OH COME ON!" Navis cried at it, as it began to move again. "You have GOT to be kidding me!" Trashcan lid 2 - monster 3.

MuCephi pulled out her hair pins, she was feeling the edginess of the tired that came from using her attack more than once...there -had- to be a way to stop it.
"Oh God I need to start bringing alcohol wipes, this is NUTS" She bemoaned and tried to stab it with one, neck or throat or face or... well being bitten would be a preferably not... maybe hand to start with...she wondered if that might disrupt the attacks it did.
She pressed her thumb down on the 'butt' of it to lend it strength and stabbed as best she could.

The Yoma shrieked and flailed wildly under the attack. Within moments it was disappearing in a blitz of black smoke. Navis moved over to stand closer to the other senshi. A shiver ran down her spine and she knelt down.
"Wow..." she muttered, half under her breath. She looked around, half expecting to see it appear behind the two girls. The wind blew slightly, and nothing seemed to stir.
"Well, uh... that was, well. Hmm. Yeah." her fingers moved up to her right temple, rubbing it slightly.
"Thanks for your help... dunno what I was gonna do there."

"Eeeeyuughh..." Ume shook her hair pins and held them at arms length..."Ohhh I hate that...Oh! Um...Hey don't worry about it! That's what we should do right?" She beamed and curtsied.
"MuCephi!" She introduced herself. "Thank you SO much for the warning to get down too!"

"Argo Navis." she watched as the newly dubbed MuCephi stared at her hair pins, and nodded to the curtsy she had been offered. "And I guess you're right." she hadn't really thought of it like that before. Then again, she'd only ever run into one other senshi before, and he had thought she was a civilian. Castor. Fun times.
"Hey no problem. I've never been a fan of being exploded, I kinda assumed that rang true for most people... err, here by the way." she fumbled around and managed to pull a cloth of some sort off her person (from where, who knows, and who cares to ask). "May help clean those off... pretty fast with those things!" Navis was genuinely impressed with what MuCephi had done, if not a bit creeped out at the same time.
Simply put, it was pretty damn awesome.

MuCephi blushed and thanked her profusely for the cloth, pulling out her remaining hairpins and tucking them under an arm so she could neaten her hair once done
"It's nothing at all, My attack normally does almost -nothing-... I don't know if it's just that I have bad aim or what but.." She shook her head and grinned. "That thing with the garbage can lid was really impressive too! I don't know that I would have thought about that!"

"Well, practice makes perfect, or something like that, right?" Navis grinned as MuCephi spoke of her attack. "Least yours does some damage. Mine's like... well. I feel like I'm just tossing a flare, a super useless flare." she chuckled, "Well, not completely useless, just in cases like this. Wasn't expecting blind things chasing after me today. If I had known better, I would have penciled it in." she looked over towards the trash can lid that she had placed down before rooting for the cloth.
"Oh that. Well, I think I saw it done in some show once. I think. I guess it was the first real thing I saw. Pretty sure I saw a rat in there. Coulda thrown it but I doubt it would have been as good." she laughed, "and I'm sure if you'd been over by them you woulda thought of it. As it stands your hairpins there are pretty deadly. I wouldn't wanna get on your bad side with them!"
