Night on the farm was much darker than night in the city.
For starters, there were less lights, and the pools of darkness were greater and more threatening. Secondly, the ambient noise of the city didn't reach the expanded yards and personal gardens of the rural Destiny City. Silence was a regular visitor to the hills of the semi-countryside. Ambrosia couldn't imagine why a youma would hit this close to home. Just a street away in fact. But still she as she leapt over Mr. Dennison's fence and into his lilac bush, she could feel the youma running away. She sprinted, ignoring the Dennison dog Charlie as he came out from his wooden dog house to investigate. His barks spurred the youma on, and Ambrosia had to sprint to keep the retreating darkness in her sight.
Out of Mr. Dennison's yard and onto the street, the youma skidded to a halt, baring overly-large fangs at the Chibi Senshi. Ambrosia too halted, waving her arms to keep the youma's attention. It didn't seem fearsome. Rather, it seemed to be scared, and tired of being chased.
"Oh no you don't" the young girl said, taking a step forward. "Do you know how hard Mrs. Addison worked to get those peppers to grow?"

Continuing the theme of inanimate objects going rogue, Pomona had been minding her own business, sitting on an outside bench in her civilian form and reading a class assignment when she heard the screams. The familiar mixture of fear and confusion was youma proximity alert, so she ducked into some bushes and powered up. As soon as she did, she could feel a youma signal nearby, and poked her head out to see an angry printer trying to eat the book she’d left of the bench.
Pomona shouted. The printer-youma grabbed her book and sped away on its surprisingly fast little wheels, resulting in Pomona having to give chase. Turned out that the tiny little wheels could go off-road too, and Pomona it took and irritatingly long time for Pomona to catch up with the evil homework thief. When she finally did, she did what office workers everywhere dreamed of doing: she kicked the s*** out of it. She kicked it and punched it and slammed it into the ground, sending scraps of paper flying. The mechanical beast was subdued and a it was a tired but satisfied Pomona that retreived her slightly chewed-on book from the ground.
Then she sensed another youma.
Groaning, the redhead hobbled in the direction of the new youma. She didn’t want to fight another youma – oddly enough, she was a bit tired – but she could sense the energy signal of another justice fighter nearby and hey, maybe they could give her a lift. Or at least entertain her until her feet stopped killing her.
Eventually Pomona found her fellow justice fighter, and realized she looked oddly short. Then it dawned on her: Chibi Senshi. Figures. Now if there was trouble, she’d actually have to fight. Shaking a mental fist at the universe, Pomona broke into a trot and jingled up to Ambrosia.
“ Hey there.”

Ambrosia was momentarily distracted by a jingling sound. Almost like someone was shaking a bag of keys. She looked over her shoulder and then brought her gaze upwards as a woman stood next to her, offering a greeting. She was a senshi, a full grown one, and Ambrosia immediately loved her outfit. It was so exotic! The chibi senshi wondered if one day her outfit would be like that.
The youma flicked it's skinny tail, more fearful now that there were two Order signatures present. It growled, and turned on it's heels, kicking out backwards with overly large feet. Rocks began to fly through the air, and the youma seemed to never run out of them. Ambrosia felt a rock hit her leg, and then she covered her head with her hands, feeling the bruise instantly start to appear. Stupid youma!
She ran to the right, drawing her leg backwards. "Honey Shoot!"
The honey gelled into a ball and flew toward the youma, who turned its attack from the area around Pomona to the rapidly approaching honey ball. Rocks stuck into the sphere, covering it's gooey surface until it seemed to have a crust of filth all over it. When the ball hit the crust split, but only a little honey seeped through the cracks to make the youmas fur sticky.

“ Honey? … Oh!”
One could almost see the light going off over Pomona’s head. A while back she had had an encounter with another Chibi Senshi called Lenka. Due to the frankly embarrassing manner in which they met, Lenka had said they should be a team. Pomona had written the Chibi Senshi off, figuring it was just another childish daydream, but some time later she’d received a message from Lenka saying that she’d recruited another Chibi Senshi. Pomona would bet this Chibi was her.
This wasn’t the best time for such revelations though, so Pomona turned her attention to the now-sticky youma. Her peppers seemed less effective against youmas of the plastic and metal variety, but this monster didn’t look to have such an advantage.
“ Pomona Pepper Grenade!”
She bit off the fruit’s stem and threw it at the monster while simultaneously nudging Ambrosia with her foot.
“ If the smoke blows this way, close your eyes.”
Her attack didn’t exactly do a lot of damage, but if she hit the youma right it’d give her a chance to get in close and attack it while it was suffering from her attack’s effects.

Pepper Grenade?
It was literally a grenade made of a pepper. The other senshi had to bite the end off and everything! Ambrosia was impressed with the show of it, and nodded when Pomona gave her the advice. The pepper exploded and the youma squealed as the peppery air burned its nose. Ambrosia clapped appreciatively, saying "Wow! It's like fireworks! But with food." her giggle was just audible above the youma squealing again, thrashing this way and that.
"Is it safe to go get it now?" She asked, not wanting to feel the same way as the youma. It looked none too happy.

Even after her experiences with Lenka, fighting with a Chibi wasn’t exactly easy. Instinct made her want to forbid the girl to fight, but intellectually she knew that it wasn’t her place to do that. This little girl was still a Senshi, and if a magical Guardian cat had decided to awaken her, well, it was too late to argue that decision.
“ Yes, we can attack it now.”
Before she’d even finished speaking, Pomona was on the move, aiming a heavy kick at the youma. She couldn’t de-Senshi the Chibi, or forbid her from fighting, but she could try to get the youma to focus on her and thus spare the girl the brunt of any potential retaliation.

"Ok!" Ambrosia barely got the syllable out before Pomona was on the move toward the youma. Oh she was going to dust it before the chibi senshi could get a kick in!
Tiny cheeks puffed out in mild irritation and she resisted the urge to stomp her boot. Now that wasn't fair! She wanted to beat it up too! Instead of throwing a tantrum, she swallowed her irritation and used the energy to run at the youma. It was very annoyed now that Pomona was kicking it.
It seemed to shiver, and then dissolved into a pile of dust. Ambrosia skidded to a halt, staring at the eddying pile of youma dust. Her mouth was pursed together, and her nose was wrinkled slightly as eyebrows arched downward. She seemed to all the world like she was trying to stare a hole into the inanimate pile.
I shouldn't have dusted that easily. She didn't even a chance to hit it!
Refusing the urge to sniff, she blinked up at Pomona and said "Thank you for your help." Her mother taught her to be polite and thank people for their help, even when it didn't end the way she wanted it to.

Well that was unexpected. Pomona hadn’t expected the youma to go down quite so easily. It was nice, especially considering that it had already been a long day for Pomona. Only downside is that it left the Chibi Senshi looking kinda sad, and really, it should be illegal for kids to be sad because then they looked all kicked-puppy-ish and stuff.
“ Didn’t think it’d keel over quite so fast.” Commented Pomona, joining the Chibi in peering at the pile of dust. “ The toilet youma I fought were a lot harder to take down. Guess you really can’t judge a book or youma or whatever by its cover.”
And boy, did Pomona wish that aforementioned youmas had been weaker. She still had nightmares about that encounter!
“ So Miss Honey Senshi, would you happen to have met a Watermelon Senshi? She'd be about yea high.” Pomona waved a hand at about Chibi height.

Her disappointment was palpable. Even the older senshi's words did nothing but make her want to kick the dust into the air. That wasn't fair! IT was her fight first! She managed a wry smile at the mention of a toilet youma. That was rather silly.
Her green eyes tore away from the unmoving pile of dust to focus instead on the pepper senshi. The word 'watermelon' clicked something in her brain, and she smiled a true, wide grin this time.
"I do know her! That's my best friend Lenka!" She clapped her hands together, feeling warmth spread through her body and banish the anger that she was clinging to. "You know Lenka too?"

“ Oooh yes, I know Lenka. She informed me that as a member of Team Yum Yum, she would protect me.”
Hmph. What little pride Pomona had left still stung at the idea of being recruited and protected by a Chibi Senshi. It seemed silly and backwards, but then again, she figured she kinda deserved it.
“ She saw me shortly after I was surprised by a cat youma taking offense at my face.” She scratched her head sheepishly. “ I suppose I did look funny dancing around with a demon cat latched onto my head.”
Being a strong, graceful, dignified Senshi was just not Pomona’s lot in life.
“ So has she recruited you yet?”

Team Yum Yum! Oh why didn't she see it earlier? Pamona was a senshi of peppers! It totally made sense that she would be on the same team as a honey and watermelon senshi!
"Yes!" she said, clapping "She asked me to be on her team a couple weeks ago!" Ambrosia had a real team now! It wasn't just her and her best friend! Her joy was bubbling up and out rapidly. The tiny girl giggled at the thought of someone with a cat on their face. It sounded like something out of a cartoon.
Her excitement was cut short by a faint ping! and a prickle on the back of her neck. Ambrosia spun on the spot, trying to look nonchalant. If there was another youma nearby, she wanted to get it. The last battle was a bit of a disappointment, and she had unused energy.
When she thought that she had located the trail of the youma, she smiled sweetly up at Pomona. "Well I think I'm going to get going now." she said brightly, giving a wave. "I am very glad we are on a team!" her toes itched to run off after the youma, but she remained where she was until Pomona said something.

Pomona found the Chibi Senshi’s behavior a tad suspicious, but she didn’t say anything. After running all over the damn place and dusting two youma, she was just too tired. In fact, thinking about the walk back home was enough to make her want to whine. Maybe she could call someone and get a ride? Hm.
Waving a hand, Pomona pulled her phone out of the air and scanned Ambrosia into it.
“ I’ll be heading off too; need my beauty sleep. Call me if you ever want to patrol together, or do some other teammate-y activity.”
With that the redhead gave a funny bow and walked away, contemplating who she could call for a lift.
