He -really- hated youma. Negaverse agents were fine, they at least did stupid things because they got angry like him, but youma were just a whole other ballgame. It didn't help that he wasn't good at hand to hand either while his magic was still so useless. He was so not meant for the battle field. He really needed to be back somewhere telling the leaders the best places to put their man.

He managed to give the creature the slip for a few moments before digging out his phone. He wouldn't have long but he knew he could ask his cousin for help. There aws no way she'd turn him down if she could help it.

Incoming Message: Corvus. I need your help, coordinates following....


She had been attempting to finish up some of the summer reading that had been assigned for her senior English course when the text came through. Lucien was both lucky that she loved him, for one, and that he hadn't stated the nature of the help he needed, for two because she was soon bolting out of bed, snatching up her pen to duck quickly out the window. Cordelia paused long enough on the terrace to transform before bounding off from building to building in the direction she'd been summoned to.

He ducked a claw as the youma caught up to him and tried to get it a but further away from the houses. It had caught him in the suburbs almost and seemed to be intent now on killing him for his distraction. At least he'd stopped it from draining whoever it had been latched onto at the time even if they were probably in a sorry state from how powerful the monster seemed to be.

Ducking another swipe he swung his lantern and smirked at the heavy clang as it came against the youma's thigh. It wasn't anywhere near enough but it was good enough to slow it down so he could hop the frence into a small park.


As she'd approached the original coordinates that Lucien had sent her she had paused, flipping her phone open so that she could track the youma itself while 'feeling' for the energy she had come to recognize as belonging to Sailor Arsinoe; her cousin. It had lead her to a rooftop overlooking a small, fenced in recreation area where she waited until she spotted the other senshi.

Super Sailor Corvus shook her head slowly as she hopped down from her lofty perch, waiting for a moment before springing across the grass towards Arsinoe and his prey. "You're supposed to hunt them, you know, not the other way around." She smirked as she placed her hand on her cousin's arm. "Ready to take this thing, cous?"

He'd felt his cousin coming and only didn't just because he was expecting her. "You know i'm not good at the whole youma thing." He grinned slightly as he settled himself better on his feet. One thing these shoes had done was work -wonders- for his balance. "Besides, my attack's burned out for a a bit longer," He motioned with the lantern that was still just returning to it's usual bright glow. "You know i can't fight hand to hand well with ... "

He waved a hand at the giant monstrosity that had just figured it could step on the stupid fence rather than tryi to climb over it.


"Great. So you call me to come save you from it." She smirked softly as she gave her cousin a gentle nudge. "So much for protecting me from the big, bad monsters... Guess it's a sign we've grown up a bit." Her smirk only faded slightly as she watched the monstrosity crush the metal mesh of the fence, nearly bending one of the poles down.

"... You've been fighting it for a bit, right? What's the best angle to go at it to get hurt without getting myself killed?"

"You are a Super." he almost glared at her. If nothing else it meant she'd been doing this longer and was better at it. He had excuses to need her help some times and if it hadn't been so big he might have been able to deal with it on his own.

"Don't go anywhere near the hands. It's got really fast reflexes and, obviously, it's strong. It didn't seem to like it when i got my attack against it's chest but it's hard to get to thwat with the hands in the way.


"Right... Don't go near the hands if I don't want smashed to bits. Where should I go near?" Her brow quirked as she glanced at her cousin, certain by this point she could just ask him to hit her and he'd likely oblige... But then, due to the nature of her magic, she'd be far to tempted to belt him one in return.

Vengeance was such a tricky thing.

"Hind legs? Tail? Give me something to work with here, Arsinoe."

"I told you. It's chest doesn't have armor. I'm assuming ...." He closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. "assuming that means it's whole underside is like that. So it's tail would be vulnerable also to an extent. It's already mad enough at me so i can distract it while you try to deal with it. Maybe if it broke that fence enough we can use it as weaponary." If nothing else having the stupid monster impale itself wouldn't be a bad idea.

"I'm so better at people ... they're predictable. I hate youma"


"..." Her eyes narrowed as she all but glared at the young man standing next to her, popping him lightly in the shoulder with her fist. "I can't do a damn thing about it being vulnerable if I can't use my attack." Corvus could have sworn that she had explained this to the other senshi before, especially given the way the other battles that they had been in had gone. At this rate she was just going to have to throw herself at it and hope whatever it knocked her into didn't hurt so much she wouldn't be able to get back up again.

All in all, having some sort of a weapon might not be a bad idea, but she wasn't entirely certain that she'd be able to lift one of the fence posts. "It doesn't look like it's going to wait around for us to decide."


"So um ... get into a good position and once i can attack again i will and just, get in the way." He knew his attack wouldn't hurt her much but it would give her the ability to use her own. It wasn't the best tactic, and he often wondered what sort of cosmic joke it was giving a warrior an attack that only worked once they were hit, but it was all they had for now. "It wont wait but it's not that fast ... you take one side and ill take the other"

They could keep it distracted and hopefully still enough until one of them could attack it properly.


"Left." She called out as she sprang into action, heading for the creature's left side. If Sailor Arsione aimed his attack just right they might be able to catch it off balance together. It would be a start, at least; something to give her a chance to watch how the youma worked so she could try and formulate a plan of her own.

He nodded and followed her head as he dug out one of the small sticks that fulled his attack. Waiting until he had a good shot at both the creature and his cousin he stopped. "Dancing lights!"

The youma's heads snapped around toward him, ignoring Corvus for a moment, as his voice caught it's attention. The lantern dulled again and and he hoped that his cousin would be able to do something with it before he was forced to try to dodge it's powerful arms again.
