It was an average night of patrol, uneventful, almost crossing the line to being boring. The night was cooler then night had been previously, and Albireo gave a little shiver, rubbing her bare arms and sighing. She had to start remembering to bring a jacket.
The senshi was about ready to head home, thinking that it was really going to just be a wash of a night, when she heard a sound. As she crossed the street and looked around the corner, she saw a youma and swallowed, watching it drain a civilian of its energy. Well. The youma wasn’t going to do that on her watch!
“Hey! Youma brain! Over here!” She called out, stepping around the corner, opening her mouth, then letting loose her attack, the voices of angry trumpeter swans filling the alleyway.
The youma dropped the girl that it was holding and looked around, mouth spreading into a smile at the senshi. There was something even more powerful to drain, to devour. The creature was human like, with long vine like hair and sharp looking claws.
Albireo took a step back, eyes darting around, looking for something to throw. Something else to distract the monster with.

There was a strong youma out and about this evening. That meant that there needed to be a strong senshi out there to terminate the creature.
The strong senshi she usually relied on was not in the vicinity. However, the energy this youma seemed to give off was something that Sailor Iris would not be able to ignore. All ********* had to do was be patient.
Well, that was until she heard a foreign voice call out "Hey! Youma brain! Over here!" The cat had been merely observing up to this point, but now she had to look to the source of the challenge. It was a senshi. Not a super senshi, not an eternal senshi, just a senshi! ********* hadn't even picked up on her energy due to the presence of that youma.
And now this senshi was going to take on this very threatening youma.
No longer able to sit by idle, the feline seemed to pop out from her spot in a large television box inside of the alley. She scurried in the direction of the senshi, calling out as she approached "Sailor Albireo!"

Albireo blinked, looking around for the source of the voice, jumping back as the youma swung its fist at her. Who was calling out to her? She grabbed a trashcan lid, flinging it at the youma, then again looked around, spotting the small cat finally.
What did the guardian cat want? This one was a good one, right? Yeah. If it knew her, she was sure it was a good one. “Um, yes? That’s me. I’m Sailor Albireo…Who are you?”
Again she dove out of the way as the youma tried to attack, kicking hard, knocking the creature in the jaw. She loved kicking things, it was the most effective way to kill them, she had found.
While the youma was busy trying to recover from the kick to the face, she ran over to the cat. “Is there someone else in trouble?”

Was there a politically correct way of answering the girl's question that didn't flat out point out that she, Albireo, was the one in danger?
There probably wasn't. So instead, it seemed as if that question was going to remain unanswered. "I'm *********... but don't drop your guard!" Rather than remain on the ground, the cat rather easily jumped up as the girl stooped down briefly to inspect the manx. This resulted in Albireo now having a shoulder companion.
"...we need to draw the youma out of this vicinity, then maybe slow it down briefly! I can take care of that last part... but you are more suited for the first part."

Dropping her guard. That was something Albireo was always good at. She was so easily distracted, and this was one of those times. A cat jumping onto your shoulder was a good distraction, right?
Well, it was for the youma, who landed a nice little attack, dragging its claws down Albireo's arm.
The senshi yelped and jumped backwards, glaring.
"Draw it out of her, hm? I think...I can do that?" She took in a breath. "Albireo Honking Distraction!" The sound of swans filled the air again, and the youma glanced around, giving a low growl, but didn't really seem to think much of it, moving towards Albireo, intending to finish what it started.
"Well...that normally works."

The civilian was still passed out at the end of the alleyway. That was the main thing that was catching the guardian's attention at the moment as she remained soundly perched upon the senshi's shoulder.
The girl's attack seemed nearly ineffective against this youma, which was somewhat expected, but still not a good sign. At least the youma had its full attention on the senshi of swans.
"Albireo... I think you may just want to have it chase you... just get it out of here..." the guardian offered in a low tone.

Albireo nodded, eyes focused on the youma. She swallowed, then reached down, picking up a small rock, throwing it at the creature. Her aim was horrible, and the youma watched where the rock fell, right past it and near to the unconscious civilian.
The youma's face stretched into a feral grin and it let out a pleased sounding cackle, going back towards the civilian, thinking it was much easier prey, something simple first--finish off the senshi after.
Albireo let out a small cry, upset at both her rock throwing and the fact she had lost the monster's attention. "*********>

The options seemed to be disappearing quickly, leaving the guardian with less and less to work with. It wasn't a good sign that the youma had pretty much turned its back on the two opponents. Puffing in one huge breathe into her kitty lungs, the manx then hopped off of the girl's shoulders, landing very solidly on her paws. She didn't stop there though. Soon enough she was rushing to catch up with the youma, until she was literally just behind it. Or rather, right underneath its legs.
"Hey, youma!" she shouted out at the creature, hoping to get its attention.
"Take a moment to enjoy ********* Special Surprise!" The moment the words came out of her mouth, a pulse of energy shot up at the youma. It wasn't enough to defeat it, but it was enough to stun it, and possibly even regain its attention again.
However, these tactics had a price, and soon enough the cat was feeling decently drained of energy. She took that moment that this monster was stunned and began to make her way back towards the senshi, if not a bit slower than before.
"...your henshin pen... please give it to me, Albireo..."

Sailor Albireo stared as ********* shot...what was that? A laser? Did the cat...did ********* just shoot a laser out of her forehead? What kind of foolishness was this? Cats shouldn't be able to do things like that!
She pulled out her henshin pen as ********* instructed, but seemed confused, "You...need my pen, *********?" Slowly, she handed it over, seeming just a little worried.
The youma had let out a yowl of pain as the laser hit it, hands covered the back of its head and it spun around, eyes full of anger, hissing. A small trail of smoke was coming up from its hair.
Yes, they had gained the youma's attention once again. That was good for the civilian, but not very good for the cat or the senshi, for now they had an angry, powerful youma who was interested in destroying them as well as the civilian.

The moment the pen was handed over, the cat set her paw upon it. "I'll be just a moment..." she attempted to reassure before closing her eyes. She needed to concentrate upon the task at hand.
It took a moment for her efforts seemed to show any results, but soon enough the henshin pen began to glow, then change shape. Still, the guardian could only go so fast with this task. Eventually the henshin pen was glowing brilliantly before the feline moved her paw from the object. The glow dimmed after the paw seemed to abandon the object, revealing that the top of the pen had changed to a star shape.
********* eyes popped open once she was done, looking up to the senshi in an urgent manner. "Take this and call out 'Albireo Star Power, Make-up!' Hurry!"

Albireo stared down at the newly changed henshin pen, then reached down, picking it up, giving a little smile at the feel of it…it seemed to ooze warmth and…a new type of power? She looked up, then held the wand tightly for a moment. “Albireo Star Power…Make-up!”
The normal sparkles and glowing sensation began to happen again, and Albireo looked down at herself when the transformation ended. She no longer had bloomers, and—thankfully, her outfit looked less like a ballet outfit! It…it was pretty! Her skirt was longer…puffier too!
The youma gave a growl, sensing the spike in power, some saliva dripping from its mouth, seeming to decide that this new power would be much more delicious then the weaker source that was there until a moment before.
Sailor Albireo—no, Super Sailor Albireo narrowed her eyes. She was ready to take on the youma. “********* you!” She scooped the cat up and put her back on her shoulder, raising her fist, looking at her still very dainty gloves. "I can take this thing now....right?"

********* was winded. There was no denying it. She couldn't even stay up on her paws, so soon enough she flopped onto her side.
"No problem..." she managed to say, glancing to the youma, then back to the super senshi. Rather than hide the truth, she pointed out the cold, harsh facts. "You will be able to protect that civilian better." There was no mention of Albireo being able to defeat it.
"...I think help is on the way though... so if you can keep it away from the civilian... I think we'll be fine..."

Albireo nodded. Keep it away…She…could do that! She hesitated then drew in a deep breath. She had the power to keep the youma focused on her…and her alone. The senshi moved away from *********, keeping her attention focused on the youma, who just grinned, eyes fixed on the cat now, seeing it as an easy prey.
“Albireo Ugly Duckling Diversion!” She called out her attack, feeling just slightly foolish. It worked though. As the soft glow enveloped her, the youma looked away from *********, seeming dumbfounded. Why bother with a cat when there was such a power right there!
The creature moved to Albireo, mouth dripping with saliva, eager to devour her starseed.
The senshi just hoped help would get there quickly. She didn’t think she could keep this up for long.

If she was up to snuff, the little manx might have ran over to the civilian and nudged her in an effort to get her awake. However, after that energy blast, staying put seemed like the better idea.
It seemed as if Albireo had the situation under control for now, easily gaining the youma's attention with her new attack. However, it wasn't going to keep the situation under control for too long. Despite how things were going, it still seemed as if the youma was almost toying with her.
However, at the edge of the alley, the sound of heel clicking across the asphalt at a swift pace could be heard almost echoing against the walls. "Oooo... that one looks like it could be a fun challenge!" a voice called out. At the end of the alleyway, a yellow suited senshi with feathery wings attached to the back of her fuku stood with a wide grin on her face. Smacking one hand balled up in a fist against her other hand, she seemed to try to invite the youma to go after her.

The glow surrounding Albireo faded after a few more seconds and she let out a little sigh, shoulders slumping.
The youma gave a growl, shaking its head and looking at the source of the noise. It was another delicious looking snack! Stronger then anything else here…what was the big deal about the other girl? The youma grinned another one of its wicked grins and sprang at the new arrival to the scene. Dinner would come soon, she was sure.
Albireo dove for ********* when the youma’s back was turned and scooped the cat up. “Come on, ********* this the help you had mentioned? We should go help the civilian…” She owed her life to this cat, and she would do her best to protect it, and protect the civilian that she had been trying to help from the beginning.
