Welcome to Gaia! ::

This had not been a part of his schedule today. He hadn't even planned on patrolling, merely using the form he was in at the moment to essentially go sightseeing. However, that dark aura couldn't go ignored. He wasn't certain that the aura belonged to a youma or not, but he wanted to prevent another potential disaster. He didn't want any other young ladies like Miss Roxanne to potentially become a target. He also didn't want any young men to be put in the same scenario, but his mind went to the fairer sex first when it came to his concerns.

The teal-haired Page bound from rooftop to rooftop until he felt like he was nearly on top of the darkness. It was an apartment building, and as he looked over the edge, he could see there was a fire escape ladder scrawling up the edge of the building.

The guilty party had managed to wrap itself along the frame of the fire escape. It was a long and large creature, similar to a boa constrictor, except it was changing colors, scales shifting through the various colors of the rainbow. It also seemed to have strange demon-like horns growing out from its head.

"...well... are you not an intriguing creature?" The Page of Neptune hopped off the edge of the building onto the fire escape, trying to get a closer look at the youma. It didn't look like it had any victims in its grasps, but it was hard to tell from this angle.

So fixated on the youma's presence, the lad did not even sense the approach of another powered figure. Which after the fire escape shook as she landed near him, he was able to sense the aura. It was not as strong as the aura he felt with Miss Polaris or Miss Grus, but it was stronger than what he had sensed with Miss Euanthe. It he remembered the terminology correctly, that meant that the one who had sought him out was a Super senshi.

Turning around slightly so he could face the girl better, he gave her a subtle up-and-down. The bold colors and the great presence of skin seemed rather immodest. He was careful to keep his appearance in check, not let his expression change even slightly from a pleasant, inviting smile.

"...if I might correct you, Miss... I am merely a Page of Neptune." Though he had yet to truly learn the ranking system (if there was any) for his kind, he was certain that being a knight meant a lot more than what he currently was.

Sadly, introductions would have to wait for later. It was after the lad spoke that the youma seemed to stir, moving into action quite quickly. It wasn't everyday that such tantalizing starseeds just came to it! Seeming to weave itself through the bars are a surprisingly fast pace, the horned snake seemed to ascend quite quickly to the level the duo were standing upon. It's head literally seemed to pop up behind the teal-haired fellow, the snake hissing out as it opened its jaws as wide as it could (which given it had hinged jaws, was quite wide). If anything, it looked as if the creature was about to strike at the Page.

Introductions were in order, or at least that was the plan until this red-haired girl shouted in warning. In a brief moment, he spun to face the opponent only to find a monster's face in his own. Rather than do the expected thing of attacking, the teal-haired fellow stepped back in the scant amount of space that was available on the metal frame.

His foot hit upon something distinctly solid, but had some give. It definitely was not the senshi's foot, for it was too big.

The youma, despite its seemingly simple appearance, apparently had somewhat planned this chain of events. It only appeared with its face there to scare the opponent and steer it towards the real danger: the tail. Rather quickly, the tail began to coil up the page's body until he was covered up to his chest by the color changing scales. In the fashion of a boa constrictor, the coils soon enough began to tighten, squeezing at the lad.

Rather than scream out, he just let out the air rushing from his lungs in a strong low grunt.

There were several solutions that were rushing through his head at the moment. Struggling was one of them, which he nixed right away, since in situations such as this, it would only cause the predator to get more possessive and tighten their grip. At the moment, Nysa did not want to see how strong the youma could squeeze against his thin body. Another that he dismissed was attempting to hurt the creature on his own.

He could feel the blood somewhat rushing to his head, causing his face to turn red and feel hot. It was somewhat dizzying and began to stir several of the other ideas he had in mind around into one big pile of mush. His eyes pinched shut as he tried to remain with some dignity as he was essentially getting squeezed to death.

Eventually, words managed to get wheezed out after enduring the attack for longer than he probably should have. "...Find.... something... to pry me out..." Perhaps his precious pride might have delayed his suggestion from popping out of his mouth, but at the moment, he felt like a bottle of wine that was about to have the cork popped out from too many bubbles on the inside.

It was not a pleasant feeling.

A very very small part of Nysa wanted to keep his eyes and mouth open. The eyes because he wanted to see what the Senshi was doing, and his mouth because he already felt like he was going to burst, and keeping his mouth shut would probably only worsen the feeling.

However, the vast majority of Nysa's common sense was easily swayed by the certainty in the red haired girl's voice. His eyes had already been pinched shut, but his mouth soon enough tightened up to almost form a dot with how tightly he closed it. He did not know what to expect, but if anything, he looked for any sign of weakness in the squeezing grip surrounding him.

The youma was fast, however, it seemed a bit more able to use such speed with the lower half of its body. It's head swayed slightly in sadistic delight as it had been squeezing the breath out of the Page. It had managed to see the Super senshi charging, and it had swayed to move, but at best the girl with a peppery fist seemed to have the upper hand this time around. Upon contact, the peppers seemed to crackle into smoke that drifted into the serpentine creature's eyes.

Unable to let out a screech of pain like it wanted, the youma let out a hiss as its body began to writhe, starting from the top of its body, moving down along until it finally managed to make its way to the tail wrapped about the Page.

Feeling even one section of the coils loosen, the boy blindly attempted to get loose.

His eyes were still shut as he felt a hand latch onto his arm. He could hear the voice of the senshi encouraging him to continue his escape.

Fortunately, there was enough distance between the two magical individuals and the monster's head that Pomona's slapping hand didn't even really matter. There was too much of a gap for it to attack, especially considering how much the head was sulking.

Up and out of the coils, soon enough Nysa's body was free, though it wasn't exactly free of the pain. There was relief from no longer being stuck and being able to refill his lungs with a satisfactory amount of oxygen. Yet his body tingled and throbbed from the rough treatment in general.

There was also the fact he still had his eyes closed.

From his spot to the side of the pile of serpentine coils, the Page asked "...is it safe for me to open my eyes again?"

He opened his eyes, and it took perhaps 2 seconds for them to readjust to the lighting. When he was able to see perfectly again, he saw a wall of colored scales that were shifting in color as he remained in place for a moment. Since looking at the coils he had just escaped was not exactly the most productive use of his time.

It was about this time the girl had prompted him about his own abilities.

Glancing to the redhead, he soon enough found himself apologizing. "I must confess, Miss, that I do not have any skills that can be called upon at the moment. Unless you think that this youma is ticklish." However, considering how little space there was to move, potentially tickling the snake would make things even worse off for them. They had been lucky that the monster didn't flail too much after the injury to the face.

Speaking of its face, the youma finally seemed to have shaken off its injury and now had its head swaying back and forth, much like a cobra that was preparing to strike.

If one thing was becoming blatantly obvious, it was the fact that this teal-haired fellow was more than willing to take orders. He easily noticed the disapproving expression that spread on the girl's face before he nodded his head.

"I apologize for my inability to assist, Miss Senshi..."

Nimbly, the lad managed to briefly hop up onto the railing of the fire escape near the snake's winding body before making the second hop to the roof top. He might not have been able to help with the offenses, but given the right scenario, he definitely was able to move it would seem. He landed upon the rim of the building, crouched down and facing away.

He quickly righted this by turning to face the scenario, looking over the ledge as if to make certain the young lady was indeed still safe.

The youma attempted to lash its tail out towards the boy, but the motion was less disciplined than the first strike it had made. Its attention was now upon its own head, which swayed from side to side.

And within a few seconds, struck at the redheaded girl, fangs bared out and ready to cause some damage.
