He was starting to wonder if the youma were just determined to be the ugliest thing's ever. He hadn't met a single one that wasn't completely disgusting looking. The closest that had come to 'not gag worthy' was a possessed mannequin at the mall and that wasn't saying much given what it had oozed. This latest one looked like the mutant lizard slug. It oozed slime that was gluing everything that it touched to the ground and a couple hapless buildings. Though the sight of a mailbox that hadn't been nailed down glued next to a second floor window was priceless.

Laughing as he ducked one of the giant pincsors he vaulted up onto the fire escape of a building. "Really? That all you got?" Balancing carefully he whipped out his phone and took a picture of himself weaving while the slug started to work it's way up the building.

Super Sailor Corvus had been watching for a bit, not entirely certain that she wanted to become a part of this particular battle. Youma seemed to have been popping up left and right lately and while deep down she knew she, as a senshi, should be doing -something- about them she just couldn't find the urge to care.

Apathy was not something that the Senshi of Vengeance wore well.

It was when she saw the senshi snapping pictures away that she hopped down from her lofty perch, brow furrowed as she fixed a proper glare on him. "... Is this just a game to you? What cats are awakening such -stupid- senshi these days?"

He looked up when he heard a voice and smirked at the view of a nice set of legs he was presented with. "Competition, Yes. Every senshi got a message about it." She must just not have been paying attention to the notices. She couldn't be new. Not with the way she felt. Though given the way she looked if he had his way he would do an entirely different sort of 'feeling' than what he was currently doing.

His attention was pulled away from the other senshi as the slug-youma rattled the fire escape. Looking down he laughed and shook his head. "Not stupid honey, I've killed enough of these ******** this month to not be stupid about it." He kicked the ladder and set it hurtling down along it's path toward the youma. Probably wouldnt kill it but it would slow the thing down.

"Now, either you can help or you can leave. I don't have time to get lectured. Youma to deal with you know."

"And I'm sure only the stupid ones responded to it." She snorted softly, arms crossing over her chest. All she had recalled was receiving a message that was from neither Alshain, Saiph or Eridanus and deleting it as though it had meant nothing because, at the time, it hadn't... Although now she almost wondered if she would've been better off paying a bit more attention if only to try and find out who was behind it.

"It doesn't look like it's moving all that fast. I'm sure that leaves at least a minute or two for lectures, all things considered. You didn't wonder at all about who might have sent a text like that?" Clearly not. "Or why they'd be interested in such a thing?" Of course not. "God, I hate the Negaverse."

"Actually the most powerful of us responded to it and i'm keeping up with him." He grinned as he listened to the youma screech in pain as the ladder hit it. "Yes i wondered. Which is why i went. It's being run by Polaris not the Negaverse. A little healthy competition is good for moral. I would offer to help you get your panties out of whatever twist their in though, should you need it." He vaulted himself a bit higher on the escape ladder. Sure the slug was moving slow but he wasn't taking any chances. He wasn't stupid and he'd seen slow ones do some pretty nasty things.

"The Negaverse cant' hack into our phones. Live a little, have some fun. Saving the world isn't all serious business. Unless you want to turn into a hag."

"I wasn't refering to the phones, idiot. I was talking about -that thing-." She snorted, shaking her head slowly as she bounded just beyond the youma's reach, fingers flexing as she cursed her passive power once more; not entirely certain as to whether or not she was currently more interested in using it on the youma... Or the senshi.

"I'll thank you to keep yourself far away from whatever state you think my panties may or not be in. This battle we're all fighting isn't a competition. It's serious. People have died." What were they telling them when they woke them these days?

"It's a war. People die." He balanced himself on the railing before cupping his hands together, neon glow starting to form between his gloved palms. "And if you think about it encouraging us to kill more of the youma will save more civilians." It was good experience too but she didn't seem all that interested in that. Once the ball in his hands was about the size of a baseball he let it float in one palm before throwing it at the slug-thing.

The orb smacked into the side of the youma with a sizzle but didn't do as much damage as he'd like. "Kill more of these ******** and less people die. Win Win for us."

"I don't know how you've managed to kill anything with an attack like that." She snorted softly as she shook her head, watching on from just above him for a moment. In her next movement she was bounding across to the next building heel jamming against the youma's head so that she could use it as a springboard.

"C'mon, ugly. Come and get me." If she could draw the youma into attacking her she could show the smartassed senshi what a -real- attack could do.

"Three inch heels." He smirked. "Don't get all cocky just because you've powered up. I'd bet you had a s**t attack when you started girlie." His wasn't worthless either. The slug now had a nice chemical burn going on it's side and seemed to be moving a bit slower to make up for the pain it had to be in. He kept himself balanced as the youma tried to decide which of them was the better target.

The things were usually stupid enough to always make the wrong choice. He wasn't sure if that was him or her though. He hadn't seen her do anything but run her mouth and that didn't get anyone anywhere when fighting one of these things.

After another moment or two of taunting the youma seemed to decide that Corvus looked like a tastier treat; either that or she was just that much more obnoxious and it figured it could deal with her more quickly as she hadn't made any moves to attack it yet. Even when it lunged for her she didn't seem to avoid it, clearly marking her as a stupid senshi in the books of most.

She wasn't completely fearless, though, in the face of this one. The other senshi, if he was watching close enough, might have been able to catch the way her shoulders tensed as she braced herself or the way her breath caught at that last second before she was slammed into, pressed firmly back against the brick wall.

He watched as the other senshi let herself get tackled by the slug. It seemed like a pretty stupid move and he was prefect happy to let her be stupid if that was her choice. She had to have had a reason though. No senshi could really be dumb enough to let themselves be pinned by a giant slug without a reason. "You know. If you really wanted to get hurt i'm sure there are better ways than letting Youma do it." He called out, smirk still on his lips.

"Violent Revenge." She snarled at both his comment and the youma, sending a ball of angry, negatively charged energy at the youma, not seeming to care that the trajectory had a good chance of sending the aftershock, or the youma itself, right back into the other senshi. Super Sailor Corvus did -not- do slugs.

"That's a nice ... s**t..." Whatever she had done sent the slug back toward his perch and he scrambled to jump out of the way before it crashed into him too. He almost made it but recieved a nice crack on the shin from a falling piece of ladder. "... trick. Think you could be a little more careful? Or do you get off on hurting others?"

The slug tried to grope at the side of the building and with a sad shake of his head he jumped down, landing on the youma's back. By the time he and it hit the next platform of the fire escape the creature was dust under his heels.

"I get off on others hurting me." She snorted as she straightened herself out, reaching a gloved hand back to rub at a shoulder that was now going to be rather sore from how she'd slammed into the wall behind her. "Well... My powers do, at least. Useless, I'm sure, but there would be no need for Vengeance without pain."

"I'm pretty sure you can feel vengeful without pain, just anger, but." He shrugged slightly as he kicked the dust off his shoes and dug out his phone so he could scan the other senshi. "To each their own though i would suggest finding ways to let them take a crack at you without ending up battered and bruises first." He was pretty sure she could have let the slug hit her without involving the building wall too. Tucking his phone back away he bowed with a flourish. "Sailor Arachne at your service and while i would love to chat, mostly involving how good that skirt looks on you, i do try to be a good boy ... some days to some people ... and i can't be running around all night."

"Wouldn't want your mommy to be worried." She snorted softly as she shook her head, ignoring the comments he'd dropped about her sphere, and her means of activating her power. It wasn't like she had actively anticipated the wall. It had just been there.

"Run along little spider." She waved her hand dismissively as though somehow that would make a difference when he'd already said he had to be on his way.
