Jett was an a*****e, and Raven didn’t want to just forgive and forget. He had been trying to call her, and trying and trying, but she just didn’t want to deal with it. She had run into Bifrost the night before, and that had gotten some of the aggression out of her system, but honestly, she wanted another fight. She wanted to listen to someone squeal with pain under her and wanted them to be very afraid of her by the time the night ended.

Oh she had such a temper problem right now, but there wasn’t anything she could think of to fix it, apart from hitting someone. So, she was hoping someone would show up soon for her to hit.
Lesath was wondering aimlessly, half paying attention to what was around her, and half just silently begging for someone to show up. She wanted a fight, and wanted it badly.


Acubens still smarted from the fight she'd had with Ablerio. Well, not so much fight as Alberio telling her off. And rightfully so. It had made her doubt her abilities as a leader. Her team was so small and unstable as it was, all it would take was a strong wind to blow it over. And that coupled with the abyss she'd recently been thrown into... her precious DMC, the very people that had promised her a family turned thier backs on her. And right after she'd defended them. They're lives were in danger, her a**. She'd seen Ares take one of her own right before her eyes. And Eos... oh god Eos. A sob escaped Acubens' lips despite the hand clapped over them. Eos was gone and... and...

And Acubens demanded blood as recompence. The blood of the negavere, the blood of the Dark Mirror Senshi. She demaded her comrades back. Demanded that the chaos bleed for thier crimes. And she knew who she was start with. The Mother of Lies. The one who had ruined her in the first place. Lesath who had lied to her when she was weak. Lesath who had broken her, made her a sick bastardization of what she should have been. Lesath would be the first to die.

Lesath walked on, feeling the presence of an order person somewhere nearby. They felt like they were about her power level, so she took the chance, moving towards it. If it was someone she didn’t care about, maybe she wouldn’t even indulge in a battle, maybe she’d just let them mosey on their way.

Well, perhaps that only applied to Stuai. That was about the only member of the order faction that she didn’t despise…and that was only because the girl was so darn adorable.

She came within sight of the owner of the energy signature and sighed. It was just Acubens. Her once wonderful protégé turned slight enemy. Well, she wanted there to still be hope with the senshi. Maybe there could be. That would make the day a little better. Getting Acubens back on her side or something. It might at least soften the blow of Jett being a complete and utter jerk.
“Hey, Dino baby. Long time no see.”


Speak of the devil? Acubens turned narrow yellow eyes on Lesath. So she was just going to act like ntohing happened? Like she hadn't been there when her faction attacked the meeting? It made her hands crook into claws at her side, her lips curl to expose her teeth. The fire of her temper that had burned in her stomach since the meeting roared higher, licking at her stomach. It made her growl low in her throat.

"Velociraptor Agility." It would only be the second time she'd used the attack, and she already loved it. Faster than before, and perhaps a little more in control. She was able to bend her course from where she stood to just a little left towards Lesath. She thrust one crooked hand forward, catching Lesath around the neck.

"You dare speak to me now, after what you did? After what all of you did?"

One moment she was looking at Acubens, and the next, Acubens was next to her, with a hand around her throat. She wasn’t having that. Lesath reached up, grabbing hold of the hand and wrenching it off. “What the hell, Acubens?”
She hadn’t wanted to be angry, not at her. Not again. She had already been so hurt by this damn White Mooner, but she was ready to move on, ready to forgive and forget…now what.

“After what I did? After what we all did? You mean the big battle from the other day?” She gave a growl of her own. “For your information, I didn’t harm anyone at the battle. I didn’t see the point. It was a waste and honestly, it was cruel. If you’re regarding the senshi that were turned by both Ares and that…blue haired guy,”

She took a few steps backwards, teal eyes narrowed. “Well, I have no control of that. And I wish Ares had just not done it. Thanks to one of those senshi, I’ve lost my boyfriend. I know it’s trivial, but it’s still a pain in my a**.”


As soon as Acubens hand was torn from Lesath's neck, another replaced it, nails digging in this time. "You were there. And you never once spoke up for us. That alone tells me where your alegience lies." She threw a punch with ehr unused hand at Lesath's jaw. "I wish I wish I wish. You're actions speak louder than your words, Moth Momma and I head what you had to say loud and clear." Another punch, thought Acubens wasn't ertain where it hit.

"I heard that you don't love me at all. I heard that all you care about is leading me down the path of darkness." She lifted one wickedly clawed leg, a new manuever Jett had taught her at boxing, and she hoped she was good enough to use it. "And right after I got done defending you. Telling them not to hurt you. Now I have to prove myself to them."

She crookd her hands into claws, this time bringing one up under Lesath's chin. "I think your head should suffice to prove my loyalty. Yours and the heads of all of you lying bastards."

Lesath wrenched the hand away again and stumbled backwards as the punch collided with her jaw, managing to duck away from the other punch. “The ******** is your problem, Acubens! You think this is all about you? You think I lied to you?”

Her anger was growing and hot tears had sprung to her eyes, that had nothing to do with her now throbbing jaw. “Piercing Moth Scream!”
She was very glad her own attack was stronger now, and she very much wished Acubnes the greatest of headaches. She wanted her to calm the ******** down, and she wanted to figure out what she could do to fix this. Assuming it could be fixed. “You’re a ******** idiot if you think I didn’t care about you. How could you even say that? You broke my ******** heart, Acubens, you broke my heart, and all I wanted to do was have you close to me, that’s all.” She was shouting, trembling with anger, and aiming a punch right at Acuben’s face, wanting to hurt her, wanting to do some real damage.

“You ******** betrayed me, and I was still, I still wanted to be your goddamn friend! Your goddamn friend! I was so ******** excited, I had never thought I would like a White Mooner as much as I liked you, but now, now just forget it. If you hate me, then fine. The ******** feeling is mutual.”


Acubens hit the ground and she swore her ears were bleeding. What the hell was that? Maybe she shouldn't have entered into a fight without knowing what Lesath's attacks were exactly. But it was too late now, so all Acubens could do was wait. Though her hands twitched to cover her ears, though she refused to submit to it. She just knelt there, in obvious pain, watching Lesath unblinkingly. Any sign of weakness that could be spared was.

When the scream finally died away, a piercing head ache replaced the pain in her ears. She staggered to her feet, her left eye shut where the head ache seemed to culminate. She bore more of her teeth as Lesath spoke. No. No more lies. No more playing at Acubens' heart. No more of this ******** bull s**t.

"I did what I had to do. I followed my calling! And then, in some petty revenge, you steal my girlfriend. And then you attack my team mates. And on top of all that, you lied to me." she finally ground out, bracing herself again. "I hate being lied to." Acubens trajectory was significantly more wobbly due to the headache. She wondered, as she ran, if she would even make it to her mark at all.

Lesath shook her head. She regretted it. She did. She had been stupid. She had been stupid. So stupid to think she could trust this girl. So…so this was it.

The blonde shook her head, moving aside, though grabbing Acubens tightly, kissing her lips roughly, then pulling away. “I loved you, I hope you know. I loved you, and I was so excited to be able to share a life with you.” Her voice was harsh, not angry, but she sounded almost close to tears, then the senshi pushed Acubens away roughly, running to the nearest mirror and diving into it. She wanted to go home.
She wanted to forget this, just like she wanted to forget Jett. She just wanted to forget it all.
