[BAT] The Chaps Make the Man. WHOAman. (Bazzi/Sinon)

[Lucifer Force]

The air was thick with the stench of espionage. Lieutenant Bazzite was stationed in a bush across the street from the subway entrance. The night wasn't cold, thank goodness, but his coat would have kept him warm enough. His face was painted in mock camouflage and he pinned branches and leaves to his head to blend in more. He lay flat in the bush's canopy and watched the subway entrance like a tiger seeking prey. Too bad he didn't realize this station exit wasn't used all that often, but never mind that. It was only uncommon to see someone walking to or from it, not a huge rarity.

Nevertheless, he was looking for his perfect victim - someone elderly, probably, or someone just not very muscular. Bazzite was built for speed, not head-on-collisions (though the latter happened much more often than he preferred). Once an elderly couple coming from a night at the theatre approached the stairwell leading underground, Bazzite had found his opportunity. There they were, just standing around with energy ripe for the taking! It didn't matter that they were graying seniors with little to offer to the Negaverse! It was quality, not quantity! (Even though that didn't apply in this case either, but whatever.) Bazzite found himself almost gleeful and when he went to spring into action... they were gone.

Rats.

After settling back into his tigerlike position, the bluenette found a much younger couple (probably close to his own age) coming out of the subway. Wasn't it late for them to be out? Whatever! Energy was waiting, and Ladylady didn't like late deliveries. Springing into action for reals this time, Bazzite erupted out of the bushes like a crazed madman and made a frightening dash for the couple. The young girl shrieked and the young man looked like he was about to faint. Mission accomplished!

Sometimes, she liked to skateboard down the occupied streets while powered up. Sure, Sinon obviously garnered a couple of curious glances because of her outfit, but her speed made it difficult for strangers to get an actual look of her. Tonight was not one of those times, though. This time around she had opted for scaling across the rooftops. She had long known that senshi and negaverse—probably knights too—alike gained enhanced physical abilities while powered up, allowing them to easily jump from building to building. The redhead remembered excitedly hopping all over town when she first realized this, but eventually abandoned it in favor of patrolling on her skateboard. Today, however, she felt like returning to her old method of transportation.

Sinon grinned as cool wind rushed past her—sure, when she skateboarded she had a similar sensation, but it wasn’t exactly the same. Here, as she moved from building to building, the feel of wind fluctuated as she sped up for a jump and slowed down for a landing. It was slightly different from what she was used to, and she enjoyed it very much. She had always liked new things.

Preferably, she would have continued steadily jumping from place to place, but a high-pitched shriek caught her attention. As soon as her boots touched stable ground, Sinon stumbled to a halt and looked around. “What was that?” She walked forward, leaning over the edge as she peered down into the city streets. Down below, she could see a figure donned in black—and cloaked in a dark aura, Negaverse—assaulting a couple. She would’ve called out to the lieutenant, but then that wouldn’t be sneaky.

She opted for a surprise attack. Grinning, Sinon bit back a delighted laugh as she swung herself over the building’s edge and began her descent, preferably landing on top of Bazzite. “Buzz off, dude!”

Now remember, you have to visualize the energy and pluck it out of them. Then arrange the bodies to look like they fell asleep or something. That's how you keep the police and the senshi at bay. You must always be careful and vigilant, and make scans whenever possible. If a senshi sees you or feels you, they will try to stop you from doing what you need to do to protect your home.

Bazzite was playing his mentor's instructions over and over in his head. The woman had fallen down some ten feet away while the young man stood shock still. The lieutenant didn't think he looked that scary! Ninjas were more sneaky than scary, but he chalked it up to the young man understanding that his fate to be drained by a ninja was so incredibly, mind-numbingly terrifying that he couldn't move. Or something. This man proved to be the better of the two targets because the lady had heels. Walking up to him, Bazzite placed a hand on the young man's shoulder and began to pull the energy out of him, forming the white, mistlike substance into a ball. Captain Painite liked her energy delivered in a very specific form, you see.

Before he was finished, though, something purple, red and rather large dropped from the sky. "What is this OH MY G---!" Before he could finish, the Ninjaverse agent was promptly flattened by one Super Sailor Sinon (not that he would know this) and his energy drain was effectively stopped. Both civilians shrieked at the appearance of a terrorist and promptly made their escape.

The bluenette attempted to shift around beneath Sinon to stop staring at the gray of the concrete and get a good look at whatever had flattened him. "Excuse me! I was kinda... busy... there!" he grunted, attempting to push the much larger senshi off of his body. It did not yet occur to Bazzite that the Flattener was none other than a dreaded space pirate, and a super one at that. No, he was too focused on breathing rather than figuring out something like that.

Sinon winced when she heard both civilians shriek again—especially the woman. Gosh, women could screech at high frequencies when they really wanted to, much to the redhead’s displeasure. She secretly hoped that she didn’t scream a spineless scream like that when she was caught off guard.

A smirk squirmed its way across her face as she watched the lieutenant underneath vainly struggle to push her off. Despite the fact that she was a woman, she was freaking tall and had strength when the situation called for it. Unless the lad really put some effort into it, Sinon doubted he would be able to fling the senshi off anytime soon. “Yeah. I have eyes. It’s sort of my job to stop you from doing those kinds of things.” Her expression was smug and pleased, almost as if to say ‘you must be new.’ Almost. Against her better judgment, she reached out a gloved hand to playfully ruffle the lieutenant’s hair and quickly jumped off, her strides long as she attempted to gain some distance. As expected, she swung her arm to call forth her attack. “Web of Lies!”

You know, if she had realized she was a space pirate she wouldn’t have been as insulted about being labeled a space invader. Space pirates were cool.

He got his hair ruffled.

Awwwww. ^_^

Wait.

Warm fuzzies quickly disappeared when tons of spider silk got draped on the poor boy. Bazzite looked downright horrified. With his own brand of shrieking, the lieutenant thought these simple strands produced by Sinon's attack were made of acid, or they were tiny death machines all string together, or nanobots hellbent on making a home in his sinuses. Whatever he ended up on deciding didn't matter - the end result was the same. His eyes went wide and his brain essentially had a nuclear meltdown.

"AAAHHHH WHAT IS THIS!? SPACE-PIRATRY?!" he wailed, spazzing this way and that in a desperate attempt to get rid of the dreaded stuff that was on him now. He spat and sputtered and turned around three times before smashing himself into a nearby wall, trying to wipe it off on the bricks. Bazzite dragged himself back and forth, scraping his jacket and spitting. "UGH. No! No what is this nooooooo!"  

[Syusaki]

Wow. This lieutenant was so cute it was almost illegal. He seemed more than content when she ruffled his hair and it made the senshi want to take him home as a pet, but then Sinon realized that was pretty creepy and weird.

The redhead winced and shuddered at the boy’s shrieking. The boy and that woman from before would have been great friends. She was sure of it. Sinon covered her ears with her gloved hands to muffle the yelling. She didn’t see what was there to shriek about her webs. There were a lot of them, yeah. They often made tangled webs that were difficult to cut, but they were hardly scream-worthy. She could only wonder what was going through his mind at that moment.

“Space pirate? Do I really look like a space pirate to you?” she asked incredulously as she looked down to stare at her clothes. If anything, she was a space cowboy. She plopped down on the ground and idly watched Bazzite squirm. “It’s my attack, duh,” Sinon answered matter-of-factly. She crossed her legs and continued to observe him. She probably should have thrown in another attack, but this was too funny.

Okay no she couldn't take this. This guy was just too funny. Holding her stomach, she ran away before he somehow beat the crap out of her. (She highly doubted this. Highly highly doubted it).
