Super Sailor Pasiphae tried to pinpoint both the Chaos and the Order aligned auras that she felt not too far away. Neither were in precisely the same place, which seemed to indicate that they hadn't found each other yet either. It had to be because of the summer fog that had settled low around the park. That would explain why she could not see them either, even though she could certainly feel them.
She was certain that they could feel each other too. A fight might be inevitable, as much as she wished it could be avoided. If so... well, then she had to be there to help her ally. No one could fight alone. The mantra of E Pluribus Unum, first given to her by the Jovians, now bolstered her efforts.

Bazzite was the Chaos blip on Pasiphae's radar - a skilled ninja assassin gliding effortlessly from rooftop to rooftop. What he didn't have in strength, he more than made up for in speed. He was lithe and built for sprinting. His mission? He was out hunting for people! And he happened to find one. Blue eyes caught sight of her and his body switched trajectories in an effort to air-tackle her. The little ninja was high above the senshi and had the advantage of speed and stealth.
Or so he thought.
His battlecry kinda gave him away. "HADOOOOOUKEN!"

Which meant that the Order aura that Pasiphae was registering was none other than Super Sailor Tsui, Senshi of Tigers and self-proclaimed youma slayer of St. Mags (her usual turf and the surrounding areas). Once she had gained a new rank, Tsui had become more adventurous, more keen on physically seeking out Chaos-embedded auras instead of allowing them to come to her, and today was no different than those other days, though hopefully more successful than her past ordeals. She carried with her the responsibility and duty of a Senshi, as well as the wounds from her past ordeals, but Tsui wouldn't allow the injuries and the pain that came with it to slow her down. Evil did not rest, and neither could she. She still sought out youma, Negaverse officers and members of the DMC, but she was beginning to become aware of rank differences and which ones to avoid. However, the Chaos aura she pursued was certainly not a General, maybe not even a Captain... and he was free game in Tsui's eyes. Tsui had sensed Pasiphae before she had seen her, and she had spotted a familiar lieutenant before Pasiphae had spotted him. Without thought or hesitation, Tsui ran forward and tried to intercept the blow, jumping in the air and going for a punch of her own, hoping that her arm reached Bazzite before he had the chance to catch her friend, giving a battle cry of her own.

Even in the light fog, Pasiphae heard the shout before she saw to whom it belonged. In a moment of pure instinct, she called on her first level attack, "Pasiphae Shameful Isolation!*" The shield that settled around her might have been for naught, however, given the sound of another voice intervening, one that the Shame Senshi recognized. Could it be... Tsui?! No, surely not--the power level she felt was about the same as her own, and Tsui was, to the best of her knowledge, still just a Senshi. As both the figures headed closer towards her--in mid air no less--the Super Senshi had little choice but to observe them. The Negaverse officer she did not know, and his black clothing gave her little hint as to what his weapon might be. She had never been much of a ninja fan outside of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and she doubted very much that he was secretly one of them. The Senshi, however... yes, she would recognize that black and white hair anywhere. But the fuku was entirely different, with a swath of fur on the side and fuzzy boots and... a battle helm where her own mask would be. Tsui, yes, but not the same Tsui that she had protected in the Ambush or had fought a youma with only a week earlier. No. she was now a Super Sailor. Had she walked in on another battle where the Tiger Senshi was fighting alone?! Or was it just... bad timing? She didn't know, but she didn't like the sight of the bandages on the other girl's arm as she cried out, "Tsui... Tsui are you alright?!" * Upon speaking the name of the attack, the beads of Sailor Pasiphae's mask break off and multiply, surrounding her with an energy shield that protects her from attack. The shield can last anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds, depending on the amount and intensity of attacks absorbed. Sailor Pasiphae's movements will be restricted by her shield as long as it lasts. (Also, I have Chibi's permission to make all the observations regarding fuku and pre-injured status.) Lucifer Force Feel free to use the shield or not as you see fit! ChibiGingi Same! Whatever ya'll decide, it will fall by the time I post next with Pasiphae.

Bazzite didn't expect one super senshi and the second flying in out of bloody nowhere was something he didn't expect on top of the first thing he didn't expect. And that was a lot of not-expecting. The tiger senshi's fist grazed the lieutenant's face, sending him rocketing off to the side and slamming him into the shield that was suddenly there. That wasn't there before! Bazzite was suctioned onto it like a fish onto the side of an aquarium. Gravity forced him to slide off, making a sort of clean-window-squeegee sound before coming to a stop on the ground. He felt all... shame-y and he didn't know why. "Awww but I'm supposed to fight the space pirates and here I am all... ick. I feel ick." he mumbled and then stumbled onto his feet. Sigh. This wasn't turning out to be the brilliant assault it had been in his head. Turning to face the senshi, Bazzite whined and made with the power frown. "Okay so like whyyyy did you punch me in the face? I mean we were doin' just fine until you came in all like," and the lieutenant made a huge gesture with his hands and a matching silly face. "OOH LOOKIT ME I'M ALL BADASS EAT SOME FIST PLEASE. And then I was like OH BOY, COULD I? HERE, LET ME ANGLE MY FACE JUST SO YOUR FIST WILL BE NESTLED ALL NICELY IN MY JAW CUZ I REALLY LIKE THAT. MY THERAPIST SAYS PUNCHES TO THE FACE ARE GOOD FOR THE SOUL." The Negaboy huffed and crossed his arms. "I mean really. That's kinda rude... n' everything." Nobody said Bazzite was particularly intimidating. Or, you know, effective. But he was good at telling it like it was. Quicksilver the Archangel

It was, more or less, a ********, as Tsui was proud of herself for making the punch, even when it was with her bad arm. It was a double-edge sword, as it had knocked Bazzite into the shield, but it had managed to reawaken the pain in her arm, and she barely, just barely managed to hold back her pained cry as she landed just outside the shield. She had managed to stay out of the shield's range this time around, though with the way she was forced to take a knee made her almost regret this twist of luck. 'Stupid, Tsui, stupid!' She thought to herself, biting back her pain and trying to hide her bandages behind her furred gauntlets before either Bazzite or Pasiphae could notice it, but it was already too late. She spat to Pasiphae, hiding her discomfort with a smile and a wink. "Nah, I'm good. As always... you?" The moment Bazzite had turned to him, Tsui jumped back to her feet and stood at the ready, not wanting him to see any wounds that might have lingered from her past encounters. No, she didn't want to interrupt his little tirade, and despite the anger she heard, she had to admire him for bouncing back rather quickly from the assault. She rather admired his energetic nature, though maybe because it reminded her of herself not too long ago. "Don't feel so bad that I got the drop on you... Tigers are ninja of the big cats, you know." She wasn't sure if Bazzite would have even recognized her from the ambush, but she certainly recognized him, and knew that he and General Benitoite had some sort of connection. What luck Tsui had to run into him... now, if only she hold herself together long enough to get a few more blows on him and send him crying back to the Negaverse. Quicksilver the Archangel

Pasiphae gave a slight sound of dismay and backed up, as much as she could, within the shield as the Negaverse officer slammed into it and slid down the side. She had never really thought to use her shield in this fashion--namely, having an ally throw someone else into it and use it as a weapon. It seemed to be fairly effective, if a bit unorthodox, and she mentally filed the information away to think more about another time. At the moment, she couldn't afford to be distracted, not when there was a fight going on right in front of her. She tilted her head as she listened to--well, what could only be called a tirade from their ninjaesque opponent, and she hesitated to jump in for an attack even as her shield fell from around her. He seemed a little, well, off, and that just added to her feeling that she didn't want to hurt him. The Shame Senshi had only initiated two fights, out of all the ones with which she had been involved. Once to protect Harper, and she still bore the scar on her shoulder from that fight. The other had been with Benitoite, only a lieutenant then, and to this day she regretted how it had gone. She had won the physical battle, yes, but she had lost any chance of saving him and had gained an enemy that she still had to combat to this day. If she could avoid that happening again... well, it would be for the best. Then there was the matter of Tsui's injuries. Pasiphae did know from where the injuries had come, but they were there all the same. That just meant, in her eyes, that she had to work harder to protect her ally. She took advantage of the lull to move between the new Super Senshi and the ninja as she answered, "I'm well, thanks to you, but... please, be careful." She took up a defensive position now, ready to defend her injured (and brash) ally, but not actually attacking. Not yet. Her soft voice managed to have some edge to it as she spoke, even though she meant what she said sincerely, "You're outnumbered and outmatched. I highly suggest you retreat, Mr. Ninja. We don't have to let this fight go on any longer if you leave." In a way, she was speaking to both the Negaverse agent and the headstrong Tiger Senshi at the same time. For all of their sakes, she rather hoped he would listen to reason.

Tigers were the ninjas of big cats? Really? Bazzite stopped and thought for a moment. He could have sworn that cheetahs were the ninjas of big cats, what with all their speed and agility and cool spots and... wait a minute! Never mind, there were space pirate butts to kick and space pirate names to take! And whatever else came after that! The lieutenant looked flustered after the unintentional mind games the evil space pirates were perpetrating. Thinks she knows more about ninjas than ME! HAHA. Bazzite puffed out his chest... and it immediately deflated when he realized he was probably outgunned. And was obviously outnumbered. Frowny face. But one good thing about the little ninja was that he was determined, if a bit foolhardy and stupid. Digging into his pockets, tongue sticking out of his mouth, Bazzi tried to, you know, threaten them back. Or something. "You don't know that I'm outnumbered, space pirate! You just think you're all... high n' mighty n' powerful n' stuff." Pulling out a handful of folded paper shuriken, Bazzite put on his best intimidating face. Which really just made him look constipated. "Eat Ninja Fury! HADOOOOOOKEN!" A flurry of silly paper stars was thrown at the senshi with the greatest speed the lieutenant could muster. If they were real metal or even plastic, they might actually cause injury. Instead, the paper likely bounced off harmlessly despite Bazzite's best intentions of them being deadly.

It was no surprise that if anyone saw through her and noticed her injuries, it would have been Pasiphae, but Tsui couldn't bring herself to be angry with the Senshi of Shame. No, she had a big heart and her compassion towards others seemed to be an icon among the White Moon Court, but Tsui didn't seem to know what the word 'careful' was, and nor was she a 'careful' person. A careful person would not have taunted General Benitoite in a mad chase that could have easily have been avoided. A careful person would have recognized General Painite and had walked, or ran REALLY REALLY fast, away from that confrontation. A careful person would have fallen to their deaths or to a broken leg than to openly take on the freakin' General-King himself, Zinkenite. But Tsui, Senshi of Tigers, was not a careful person. And neither was Bazzite, as he had the nerve to throw those paper stars at her, and not just content to insult her with that, but had twice screamed out an incorrect battle cry, one that Tsui recognized as a gamer herself. Pasiphae may have given the lieutenant a chance to flee, but Tsui? Not likely. "Look, you want to throw around video game battle cries, then fine. I can play this game too!" Tsui made a mental check to use her left fist this time, curling it into a tight ball and charging at the lieutenant to punch him again. There was no blue and white flames that radiated from her fist, but she was certain that the impact would be quite the same. "Falcon PUNCH!" Quicksilver the Archangel

Pasiphae looked on the lieutenant with obvious pity and sadness in her expression as she listened to his words. The paper ninja stars did not bother her in the least, and she only reacted to them by brushing away a few that managed to get snagged in the gauzey ribbon on her chest. Yes, she did know that he was outnumbered--she felt no other source of Chaotic energy in the area. Yet, he decided to fight on all the same. Tsui not only looked ready to do the same, but dove right back into the fight with a battle cry of her own. Something about a Falcon, even though she was a Tiger? "I'm sorry, then, but you leave me no choice," she murmured, although it was unclear to whom she was talking. As much as the Super Senshi wanted peace, she felt unable to run from battle. She owed it to her allies that still fought as much as she did to the ones whose lives had been snatched away by the Negaverse and the Dark Moon Court--whether from death or from forced corruption. Yet, even as she moved, she couldn't help that it felt... wrong. This ninja was weak, with no real weapon to defend himself other than enthusiasm and determination. She dashed ahead of her ally and her opponent, taking up position behind the ninja. Planting her feet, she called for her more powerful attack. Maybe she would get lucky and the new strategy would work as it had before? "Pasiphae Social Pariah!*" * A more powerful version of Shameful Isolation, Social Pariah allows the energy shield to exist for a longer period of time, anywhere from 30 seconds to 45 seconds depending on the amount and intensity of attacks absorbed. The energy shield can now activate around one ally; if Sailor Pasiphae chooses to do this, she cannot shield herself. Whoever Sailor Pasiphae shields will find their mobility restricted and unable to attack as long as the shield lasts.
In addition to shielding Sailor Pasiphae or one companion, whenever the weapon/her attacker comes into physical contact with her shield, it induces a deep sensation of shame which can actively affect the enemy for as long as the shield lasts.
NOTE: How each opponent experiences this shame differs based on their personality. For example, a proud warrior might feel shame at attacking a purely defensive opponent, whereas a chivalrous guy might feel shame for attacking a girl.Lucifer Force Bazzi is free to beat on this shield! If he does so a lot, then it will probably fall by my next post. If he just bumps into it and ignores it, then Pasi'll still be stuck.

Oh no Bazzi knew what a Falcon Punch was. Hell, he knew what a FALCON PAWNCH was too, and it was aimed right at his gourd. Before he really had any idea what the senshi were up to, Tsui's fist connected firmly with his face and the lithe boy rocketed towards Pasiphae... ...who then called up her shield... Oh no.SPLAT!The impact was intense and Bazzite's face was no doubt distorted beyond recognition for a few moments while he was smashed into the forcefield. His eyeballs screwed up in pain and he coughed up blood before landing on his back in the middle of the street. Coughing, spattering bits of cheek and blood everywhere, the boy attempted to roll over and stand up. His vision blurred and when Bazzi tried to move, he stumbled a bit like the world was spinning. A short flail and he righted himself, pointing at Tsui with a disgusted and offended look on his face. "I'M BLEEDING." he declared as blood trickled down his jaw from his mouth and nose, staining his dark colored Negaverse outfit. "No thanks to you guys! You coulda broken my jaw!" Tears started to well in the boy's eyes and his lips quivered. Bazzite tried to remain strong in the face of the enemy. He turned to Pasi. "And you with your... super special SQUISH THE POOR NINJA tactics of EVIL. I'm not gonna forget this! ....at all! You guys and your Squishy Squishy Ninja strategeries! NOT FAIR!" The lieutenant spat more blood into the street and scrambled away, trying to gain as much distance as quickly as possible. He didn't want to be a ninja sandwich! The falcon punching ninja tiger lady was awful and the shield squish lady was more awful! He'd have to tell Beni about this. This wasn't fair! Quicksilver the Archangel

Twice! Twice Tsui had punched Bazzite in the face, and this time there was no added bonus of pain on her end. She wanted to give a triumphant shout, maybe follow up with a kick and a few taunts, but she barely heard Pasiphae's shout, mere seconds before colliding into the shield as well. The moment her fingers and shoulder hit the shield, the sensation that she felt pulse through her was quite unpleasant, as it had radiated through her, from where she touched and spreading throughout her entire body. Tsui was a brave, if not a little reckless, and she had many successes in her life, but she could not ignore the failures. The failures caused by her own hand, and her impatient and brash nature had gotten her into more trouble than anything her civilian side could do. She had recklessly taunted a general that she knew to be both powerful and capable, and willing, to kill her. She refused to run away from Painite, despite Valhalla's warnings, and she had the nerve to take on the General King himself, without thought or fear of the life she'd leave behind if she was killed. What would Maddy think? What about her mother, her unborn sibling... her senshi and knight friends? Had she hurt them in her recklessness? She did. She punched Valhalla, clear as day, pulled the knight with the shield into a fight despite his injury. Did she make his injury worse? And here she was, teaming up with another Super ranked Senshi to beat up on an obviously inferior opponent... she hunted youma and low leveled lieutenants, just to get at a general that probably didn't even know, or cared, that she was still alive... Oh, the shame could have gone on and on, but Tsui had managed to stumble out of its touch and scrambled backwards, just as Bazzite screamed at them and then fled. Her initial instincts were to follow after him, finish the job, and yet, she couldn't bring herself to move after him. No, all she did was stumble backwards until she fell onto her butt, and she could feel her fingers trembling still as she shamefully watched him flee. She managed a growl to Pasiphae, the tremble in her voice uncharacteristic of the once mighty Tiger senshi. "Y-you let him escape..." Quicksilver the Archangel

Pasiphae openly winced at the sight of blood, and she bit her lip to keep herself grounded as she forced herself to watch the boy's ruined face protest his treatment. She hadn't had a choice! The Negaverse officer had initiated, and continued, the fight; all she had been able to do was help Tsui fight it. But that didn't mean that she had to like it anymore now than she did in any other battle. She didn't fight to hurt others; she fought to protect her friends, her allies, the people of Destiny City--and yes, even her enemies, that she hoped could someday be saved. Tsui's growl forced her away from her thoughts. "Yes," she answered simply. The Shame Senshi waited the few extra seconds for her shield to fall before approaching Tsui, bending to offer her a hand up--to her non-bandaged hand, of course. Her eyes, however, could not meet Tsui's gaze as she apologized, obvious conflict in her soft voice, "I... I'm sorry, but I don't... he wasn't a threat. It would've been cruel, to hurt him anymore. We have... we have to be better than that, than them." Pasiphae was certain that the other Senshi would know the "them" that she meant. ChibiGingi Don't know if you want to continue them chatting for a bit or not - it's cool with me either way! If we want chatting, it can either be in a seperate, regular RP or just wrapped up in here.

Tsui couldn't control herself, neither physically or verbally, as she had to fight the urge to slap that hand away when it was extended to her. The overwhelming shame she felt from that shield still resonated within her, which caused her prideful nature to try to chase those feelings away and instead replace them with anger, but she didn't want to snap at Pasiphae or chase her away. Doing patrols on her own was what caused the problems in the first place, but she didn't need anyone to coddle her or protect her. Instead, she just spat, and pulled herself to her feet, fighting against the pain and stepping past Pasiphae, without ever once taking that hand. "Look, do you think I really care if I'm better than them on a moral level? If wars were fought on morals alone, we'd be the victors, but it's not..." Tsui growled, her anger not really directed towards Pasiphae but just at the world in general. She looked to go after Bazzite, but in this fog and in the condition she was in, it would be pointless. He was a ninja after all; he had likely teleported away by now, and somehow that made Tsui chuckle. "He called us Space Pirates... first we're terrorists, now we're space pirates... what next?" She could hear a few voices in the distance, suspecting that there would be civilians taking the streets soon and not wanting to deal with them this evening. She already let a prime target escape, but she at least managed to leave her mark on him, twice. 'If he's as close to Beni as he claims, then that should be more than enough.'The Tiger senshi motioned for Pasiphae to follow her, fighting down her pain and moving towards the darkness of the alley to avoid being spotted by the civilians. "Let's go... we can talk about this elsewhere." Quicksilver the Archangel We can start a reg to do any chattyness. Lucifer Force And we can call this baby done?
