Needed at the storage warehouse. Adress below.
It was a simple text, but it was from Chaonis. Was this his way of "getting together" with people? Whatever happened to the old fashioned meet in the park and see a movie?
Either way, Talia was already driving down to the storage. It was a little ways away from her house (considering it was on the "bad end" of town), so she couldn't just take off streaking down the streets in her fuku. That would set off way too many negaverse alarms. No, Talia was a bit smarter than that.
As soon as she got to the warehouse, she got out of the car carefully and transformed into Sailor Draconis. She was in no rush though. Chaonis could handle it, right? Mr. Big Tough Chaonis? She blew her bangs out of her face causing a few gems on her tiara to jingle when they bumped into each other. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something about Chaonis really bugged her. The other thing she couldn't figure out was why she was so interested in him.
At first she was going to rush into the warehouse and declare war on whatever monster they were fighting today, but then she thought a bit smarter of herself. Why not make it a game? Catch Chaonis off guard and what not? See how big and tough he was when there was no one to show off for? She grinned a little. That sounded like great fun.
Carefully, she slid along the ginormous boxes in the storage room. This place was huge, how was she supposed to find him?
CCRSSKKSCASHHHHHH!
Oh right, that was how.

Eternal Sailor Chaonis wasn't likely to go easy on anyone, and that was what he wanted his reputation to be. That being said, people were often surprised when he made that reputation fact, and got mad at him when he left them in the thick of a fight, or found them opponents they were not quite matched to.
But besides for fun or for practicing after the fact, what could was fighting someone you knew you could beat? The only way to really get stronger was to push for challenges, and fighting things that were obvious wins would only sharpen skills and garner control of skills for so long. After a while, it was just like kicking a stone.
Useless.
He was standing on the top of a pile of boxes, a guitar he had found in one of the cases slung over his shoulder. So he had done a little bit of shopping. So what? The boxes shook and gave way, and they fell down around him with a crash. He jumped from them, knowing that they hadn't fallen on their own. He grinned, spotting Draconis.
"Just on time. May I introduce you to your kindling?" He jerked a thumb toward that youma that emerged from the boxes, shaking its head to toss a box from a large horn that decorated its snout. It looked very much like a rhinoceros, with thick skin and all.

Despite the grave seriousness of a rampant youma, Draconis burst out laughing.
"AHAHAHA. I think you have something on your butt there," she shouted, laughing and pointing all the while. He had wings. On his butt. "When did you pick those up playboy?" She really couldn't help laughing. Really. Wings. On his butt. Could you be any less manly?
The guitar on his shoulder was new too. Was he a senshi of music or something? Did senshi even get weapons? Draconis had just sort of assumed everyone had some sort of special power, like superheroes. Not weapons. Once her laughter subsided she said, "S'at your weapon or so-"
A snort and more boxes falling reminded her of the whole goal of this encounter. Right. Saving the world and what not.
Honestly, Draconis had no clue what to do. The other two things she had fought had been a tree youma (very susceptible to fire) and a giant crystal (immobile, and easy to smash). There were those swamp monsters too, but they didn't really count considering Draconis was half out of it at that point. A rhinoceros? Not so much.
Oh that's right. Chaonis was there. "Well? You gonna show me some of those great powers you were talking about?" Draconis began climbing up some of the boxes. She didn't exactly want to be level with the stupid pig youma thing. Getting gored by a horn before she could mock playboy over there? Not so much.

"When I upgraded to Eternal," he countered, grinning.
Okay, so he wasn't the biggest fan of his butt wings. They were a bit silly looking and they were wings on his butt. Even so, they were symbols of power and when he thought about it that way he was definitely all for them.
Now, things had changed since he had last met her. He had been in control of his powers then, or so he believed. As in control of them as he needed to be to get the job done and still look awesome, anyway. At the moment, however, he was lacking on the control. And on one attack. Since upgrading to Eternal he had only been able to use his newest attack once and it had not been very easy.
They didn't call him Danger for nothing, and he wondered if she really wanted to see his attack, if only she knew what it did. Not that he would tell her.
"Hey, the deal was you show me yours in a fight. Then we'll see about mine. If you can't handle this lug, anyway." He nodded at the Rhinoceros youma like it was a kitten, rather than a tank with four legs and a horn. It was charging at them anyway, and Chaonis moved to join Draconis on her boxes. Which, of course, gave the youma one target instead of two and it slammed into the pile.
Chaonis did not look surprised by this.

Upgrades? Senshi had upgrades? "Wait so ... you can be like ... what?" Draconis blathered as she continued climbing up the boxes. Senshi got upgrades? Well Draconis knew she wasn't going to be purchasing the eternal upgrade. No butt wings for her, thank you very much.
Still, Draconis was stubborn as ever. She sat herself down on the rattling boxes, very matter of factly, and crossed her arms. "Oh no you don't," she countered, "You promised me you'd show me your powers play boy." She smiled coyly. That ought to bate him enough to stall herself some time, right?
Draconis gave a little yelp as the rhinocerous charged into the box. She flew up a few inches and then fell over the side of the boxes, barely clinging to the top edge with one hand. "s**t," she cursed, gripping onto the edge for dear life. "Alright, alright, I'll go first, sheesh!" She dropped down onto the box one level down, and stared at the rhinocerous. It looked a little pathetic, trapped in between the boxes and all.
That horn was no laughing matter though. That would have to go first. Draconis jumped down from the boxes ... directly onto the rhinocerous' back. Goddamn, this thing was huge. She could've easily ridden it like a pony. She wrapped her legs as best she could around it's neck, and gripped it's horn.
Obviously, the youma was not too happy about this. It was running around trying to fling her off, but Draconis held tight. As soon as it paused to start another charge, Draconis quick shouted, "Draconis breath of FLAME!!" with her fingers pointed straight at the youma's horn. The horn melted down immediately, and Draconis gave a little yelp. "How d'you like them apples Chaonis!"
No sooner had she shouted than the horn grew back, like nothing had ever happened. "Heyyyy," Talia whined. The thought was incomplete though, as the youma immediately caught her off guard and flung her off its back into a bunch of boxes, which crash landed on her.

Chaonis laughed. She really had no idea about the level system? Of course, it was not fair of him to laugh because he had not known before his own first upgrade, either. Sometimes it just wasn't something that came up in conversation, and though he had always seen other senshi that felt stronger than him it had taken a while for him figure things out.
Still, he had done it and she hadn't, so clearly she wasn't working as hard as he was. Duh.
He watched her as she struggled to fight the youma, getting himself a safe distance away. Not to keep himself from injury, but to keep from drawing the youma's attention away from her. This was her fight, he had decided, or he wouldn't have called her. He wanted to see what she was capable of.
Couldn't do that by interfering. 'Helping' as some others might call it.
"oh yeah, that was great!" Chaonis called back, mocking entirely once he saw the horn melt and then grow back. Still, he had to silently admit that he liked her attack, "maybe you should try doing something useful this time, though? Like, I dunno, hurting the thing? Or are you planning on making it your pet?"
The youma didn't seem to like that idea, charging around and trying to throw her until it was successful. Chaonis saw her land in the boxes and hopped off his perch, heading over to leap onto the youma's back himself and, grabbing onto the horn, attempt to steer it away from her. He wasn't going to let her get killed after all.
"Try and aim for something that looks burnable! What good is attacking a horn?!"

Draconis moaned a little as she stood up from the pain of the boxes crashing on her. That hurt. Like a lot. Stupid Chaonis hadn't even bothered coming to help her. He was a disgrace to the gentleman title. She pushed a few boxes off her (the senshi strength helped quite a bit) and then stood up to survey the area and the youma's status.
It seemed Chaonis was trying to take his own crack at the rhino youma, all while insulting her more. Impressive.
Draconis grimmaced at his assumption. She had been trying to take out the most dangerous part of the rhino, duh. "I was trying to take out the dangerous part stupid," she said, "When you battle a fencer, you try to disarm him first, right?" Gosh how could Chaonis be so stupid.
Talia jumped up a few levels of boxes and sat down very plainly and matter-of-factly. "Just what part of that rhino looks flammable to you?!" She was annoyed at Chaonis and more so herself. She couldn't do anything to fight that youma at the moment. No part of a rhino was really flammable, even if she had magical senshi flames.
"I think it's your turn playboy," she said, letting out a deep breath. She'd never admit it, but using her senshi attack had actually worn her out just a tad, and the boxes landing on top of her didn't help much. Besides, Chaonis had promised right?

"Does this thing look like a fencer to you? Or a giant tank on legs? Because You don't disarm a tank: you destroy it."
The Eternal Senshi of Danger felt he had a very good point, though he was sure that there were methods for disarming a tank and it was probably a viable battle strategy. That didn't matter. They weren't facing a sword or a gun: they were facing a youma made entirely of muscle and anger.
It wanted them dead, so it was only fair to want the same thing for it.
Chaonis grunted as he held on, and he focused on his abilities. He had to be able to use his third attack at some point, but it didn't look like right now was the time. He had no idea what the words were, what the magic was. It just wasn't coming to him.
"Warning! Earthquake Zone!" He called instead, his Super attack. He felt magical strength flood his arms and feet, but he also felt the room start shaking much faster than it should have. Usually he could land a punch before the magic expelled itself in the form of an earthquake, but not this time. Not the last time he had tried, either.
Whatever.
He started punching the youma's head, aiming for its eyes, battering it with blows until it threw him off in a rage. He hit the ground hard and the earthquake shook the area around them so hard that boxes began to fall. Large cracks split open the floor.

Oh Draconis didn't like his super attack at all. Sure it was cool, and useful in this situation as well, but it was not okay with her. Why? Because as soon as Chaonis started shaking the ground like it was jelly, the boxes she was sitting on started toppling too.
Again she found herself under boxes, this time, inescapable ones. She couldn't push them off with her senshi strength- these ones were enforced and metal. She was trapped under them like a kid playing under a blanket. At least she wasn't crushed right?
She reaaaally didn't want to ask for help though.
Draconis let out a whine and started carefully tugging at the metal corners. It was like a game of jenga- she had to tug at certain parts so the whole things wouldnt collapse in on itself.
Eventually, she did manage to get out, but not before the whole thing collapsed on her. She literally got out with about 5 seconds to spare. Draconis was a lucky one.
Draconis surveyed the area. Why was Chaonis on the ground? Draconis may have disliked him, but she was a human being. She immediately offered him a hand up and said, "You alright there playboy?"

Chaonis pushed himself up, his arms shaking a bit. He was strained and tired, his attack taking more out of him than he really wanted. He looked at Draconis as she offered him a hand, the shaking ebbing but the damage remaining.
There was a large split in the floor, making the area they were standing in uneven. As he pushed himself up, some of the new cliff fell off under his palm.
He ignored it.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he grumbled, getting to his feet and dusting himself off without taking her hand. It wasn't just to be rude, but his pride was involved. He hadn't been able to use his attack with much success, and he was beginning to build an intense resentment of it.
The youma was charging at them, making things shake anew.
"We have to kill this thing!"
He would use his fists: they hadn't failed him before, and he wasn't going to give up on them now. He looked at her, grinning, though his eyebrows were furrowed as if in a scowl.
"Use your fire on its face." Apparently he was interested in teamwork now.

Draconis's hand dropped back to her side. Though it was entirely hypocritical of her, Draconis couldn't help but think, How stubborn! Then again, if a hand was offered to her, she probably wouldn't take it either.
She picked a stray piece of rubble off his shoulder, in an almost motherly way, but her words completely contradicted her intent. "No duh we have to kill it. Did you figure that one out all by yourself?" As the rhino charged and shook things up again, Draconis darted to the right while Chaonis seemed to stay where he was.
Huh, the youma was actually attempting to split them up? Perhaps it wasn't as stupid as it looked.
Draconis rolled her eyes as Chaonis gave her a suggestion. It sounded like he had a plan of some sort, that was good right?
Wrong. Draconis was the only one allowed to have a plan here. "Only if you do something helpful when I'm done!" she spat. As much as Draconis didn't want to follow his plan, she knew she had no choice. He was a teensy bit more experienced in this deal. If she was being honest with herself, she would've admitted that she didn't have a single idea in mind anyways. Her mind was beginning to draw blanks with this whole ordeal.
She jumped above the rhino, and shouted her attack as she jumped. "DRACONIS BREATH OF FLAME," she shouted, when she landed on the other side of the rhino, facing it. With her feet firmly pressed into the ground, she took a deep breath, and drew flames.

"I did, but I manage to figure that one out."
He watched as the youma charged and she moved to get into a better position to fight. So they were going to have to fight as hard as they could? That was the fun. He needed to rely on her fire for now, and his fists were going to fight as well.
"You leave the helpful to me: you just do the fire thing."
He charged forward as the flames burst forward from her attack. He didn't seem too afraid of the burst of flame. The fire hit the youma in the face and made it bellow in rage and pain, as Chaonis ducked around Draconis, following the end of the trail of fire.
His fist slammed into the Rhino's face, which was weakened by the fire. It crumpled in a heap, suddenly unable to control its legs and support its own hulking mass.
"Yee haw!" Chaonis yelled, leaping at the youma and landing on its back, trying to keep it pinned.

Draconis just stood here with her hands on her hips and an eyebrow cocked. She didn't even cringe when the rhino buckled, nor did she laughed at the poor thing's expense.
She was too busy being way too goddamn skeptical of Chaonis. Draconis may not have been the most brilliant shining crayon in the box, but even she could tell his "I'm so cool" facade was breaking, cracking at the rims. Riding a rhino youma like that? Shouting yeehaw? Anyone could see that Chaonis was enjoying the chaos more than he should have. It was like letting a five year old ride a rhino.
He seemed to have it relatively under control though. Draconis waved and arm, causing various trinkets on her outfit to clink and click with metallic clang. "Need any help there playboy?" she asked, obviously bored with the situation already.

The rhino was injured from the fire to its face, and had no real strength left to buck and bolt. Chaonis was on top of it to keep it pinned, not ride it, and had yelled yee haw while leaping. He had his arms on its head, pushing it down and making sure it couldn't lift it.
When Draconis asked if he needed help, he looked at her incredulously.
"What do you think we're doing here? Get over here and help me kill it," he grunted. Newbies. He shook his head and moved one hand in an effort to pull it back and punch the youma in the head. It tried to throw him when he moved, but he managed to keep his weight on his one arm and keep its head pinned down.
He couldn't kill the thing on his own.
"You know how to punch, right? Just hit it until it's dust!" He punched it as hard as he could in the head as an example. its face was weaker, though, the bones thinner there, so it felt like punching a brick wall when he hit it. He tried not to wince too visibly.
"You're not one of those that needs to be told all the time to do s**t, are you? Because I'm not going to babysit you. You were useful for a second there, just stick with that and forget the questions."

HOW. RUDE.
Draconis was just about ready to bite this kid's head off. How dare he treat her like a child. She was Talia Chu! Sailor Draconis! She was not about to take this s**t. She wasn't going to take anyone's s**t! It was enough that she had to get it from her dad, but even worse to get it from someone she barely knew.
Still, she wasn't about to leave the youma rampaging when they clearly had a chance to kill it, just because of her pride. She was vain, but intelligent. Her priorities set, Draconis rushed into the "thick" of things, and started punching the rhino youma. She punched it in the face, following Chaonis' example, and then adding a few kicks of her own style thanks to her position.
With each hit, she gasped a word to Chaonis, clearly frustated. "Don't," a punch to the face, "Call," a second punch, below the horn, "Me," a kick from the left, "USELESS." With her final shout, she punted the head like a soccer ball, and the entire rhino evaporated into dust, with Chaonis still on it.
