Pharos found herself running as was often the case these days. Huffing she looked back over her shoulder and sure enough she was still being presued, but that looked to be a giant flying bat. The bat was larger than Pharos' tiny 4'11" and threated to pick up and and fly off into the night with Pharos.
Frowning she picked up her pace, but she wasn't quite fast enough and she was hit a second later by the bat's sonic blast only it was more like a super intense vibration.
Pharos teeth chattered as she literally bounced while to attempted to continue to run. It was not at all easy sense she could literally feel her insides rattling about. She tripped falling to the ground and groaning as the vibrations slowed to a cease and the beast swoop to grab Pharos up.

The youma was hideous, some strange mixture of bird and something four-legged, and really, it was running a lot faster than any creature should be able to run. Celsus darted beneath an overhang of an empty cafe, leapt on one of the little round metal tables, and jumped upwards, fingers latching onto the striped awning. He hauled himself up and onto the rooftop (it took a bit more effort than he had really intended, and by the time he collapsed on the roof he was more than a little out of breath), and then continued his escape from the rooftops of Destiny City instead.
"Come on, come on," Celsus muttered, and the golden coin on the end of his necklace glowed a little as he twisted it in his hand. There was a surprised squawk from the youma as it was unexpectedly turned in the opposite direction, and smirking a little to himself, Celsus took the second of confusion to leap down and land back on the streets again.
A few blocks down, and he was beginning to lose steam. Running in these boots was not particularly easy, and besides, it wasn't doing any good to just run. But as he rounded a corner, Celsus could see another youma just up ahead, bearing down on the smaller, slighter form of someone familiar.
"Ah, Pharos, darling!"
In one swift movement, he had slipped his arms beneath her legs and back and scooped her up, princess-style, smiling down at her as he backed several steps away in rapid succession, away from the two youma.
"This isn't really the sort of reunion I had in mind for us."

Pharos was on the ground on second and the next she was being scooped up which she fought briefly but the smile and words of Celsus made her go still. "Hi Celsus," she said with a small laugh happy her teeth no longer chattered.
An odd growl turned her attention back to the angry youma who hadn't appreciated having it prey stolen. It mouth was opening and Pharos' eyes widen, wiggling to make Celsus release her. "Put me down," she whined feeling a bit frantic, "that things about to shake up up."
The youma let of a scream sending a wave at the pair that would rattle there bones at the close distance. "No," cried Pharos not really wanting to go a second round with the vibration attack and wishing she had a sword or a whip or something more than a stupid flower.kurotomato Dont know whether you wanted the other youma to follow. Your choice <3

He smiled, set her back down on her feet at once, and got back into position to fight, his body tensing, bent low, fists at the ready.
"Ah, just like old times, right?" said Celsus cheerfully, darting forward and swinging his leg around in a roundhouse kick. The youma gave a scream of irritation and he grinned, twisting the sigil around his neck so that it turned around on the spot. He wasn't sure where the second one had gone, but he had the feeling it was not quite as far as he hoped...
"How have you been, darling? Fought any good youma lately?"

Pharos was very happy to be righted once more, but was even happier to see Celsus take action. The kick, in Pharos, opinion was awesome and it threw the youma off from shaking up their worlds, the vibration blast skirting off in the opposite direction.
Pharos grinned at Celsus, taking a stance, little fist raised, "not really, but I've gone a few round with some really awful one." She laughed it was a poor attempt at joke, but her attention was a little split as the youma seemed to recover from the kick.
She darted off to the side intent on finding a good spot to attack the youma only to have her attention drawn to another screech, which caused her to frown, "Oh it's another one," she exclaimed, pointing, a bit shocked as she'd never really encountered more that one youma at a time.
At least at the moment the one closest was having a hard time picking who to focus one.

Two against two was a fair fight, Celsus supposed, but really, it would have been much easier with one. However, life was never easy, nor fair, which meant that he should have expected that this night was no exception.
"How unpleasant."
Celsus took a running start, leapt, and landed with a thud on one of the youmas, which gave a snarling shriek of protest, attempting to throw him off. He slipped to the side, crouched down, and kicked it hard in the back.
"You are as charming as ever, Pharos dear, I have missed you. But do be careful, I wouldn't want you to have to get hurt. I shouldn't worry, though; you are quite capable on your own."

Pharos was really in awe of Celsus wondering just how he learned to fight so good. He had a lot of confidence and seemed to know what he was doing, like really know, as opposed to Pharos' hyper get it done excitement. She couldn't help but grin when Celsus said he missed her, she missed her friend too. He was to her one of the nicest people she met up in the surrounding.
"Don't worry Sir Celsus. I'd be just fine," she spouted before her coat was grabbed by one the winged youma trying to lift Pharos off the ground and take her away.
"Hey," she shouted giving an indignant squeak, "that's mine." Her feet were leaving the ground and she threated to slip from her jacket. She reached up trying to grab a hold of one of the youma's clawed feet, suceeding after a moment before grabbing the over and flipping upside down to give the creature a good kick.
It was just like the rings on the playground, only Pharos lost her grip and she the youma went flying apart in opposite directions, Pharos hit the ground and the youma some thick branch. Pharos groaned, "ow that hurt," before looking to see where Celsus was.

Pharos - or rather, Eliza - had always been one of the people that Celsus found most agreeable. She was cheerful and spunky, and during their time on the Surrounding, rather than be frightened of it, had taken the positive route and tried to enjoy herself, which he had found both refreshing and endearing. And now that she was back on Earth, fighting again, it was no different.
The youma gave a squawk of anger and grabbed Celsus around the waist, dragging him around rather unpleasantly. He struggled for a moment, attempting to free himself, until finally he was able to squeeze his way free, tumbling rather ungracefully to the ground.
"Well, that was unpleasant."
Getting back to his feet, Celsus scampered over to where Pharos was and gripped her upper arm, pulling her lightly back up.
"After this, I think I should take you to get some tea or coffee or something, hmm?" he said cheerfully, and darted forward, slamming the heel of his foot into the nearest youma's torso.

Pharos was pulled back up to her feet by Celsus and she grinned, "Thanks." She quickly dusted off her coat and nodded to Celsus at the offer of tea or coffee.
"Tea," she said quickly, "the last time I had coffee ... well story for another time really."
She watched as Celsus slammed his foot into the youma's torso and wondered just how much damage a youma could take before it couldn't take anymore. Usually she need to use something to dust the youma.
She turned looking the other youma still flailing in the branches, snarling as it a attempted to get free, but was obviously caught on something. She ran over to the tree and climbed up it with practiced ease, climbing higher that the youma and then jumping down onto it back.
"Geronimo," she shouted as she landed on the youma back and they both went tumbling to the ground. Pharos small weight plus the momentum did the trick, that and the branch it landed on. As they hit the ground the youma exploded into dust, which covered Pharos.
She coughed lightly and muttered a soft, "every time," before looking up.
"You okay Celsus," she asked before noting the fallen branch beside her, "need a branch?" She held it up laughing lightly.

"Besides," said Celsus, as he danced backwards several steps, the youma closing in with a snarl. "Tea is always a much better option, at least in my own humble opinion. Though that might have to do with the fact that I am, of course, hailing from the great land of Britain and its wonderful stereotypes."
Pharos had scaled the tree now, launching herself down onto one of the youmas. It gave a shriek of protest, but dissipated entirely, showering them both in black dust. Celsus wiggled free of his encroaching youma and darted around it, snagging the branch beside Pharos.
"Thank you, darling," he said with a grin, and swung the branch around, hard, at the second youma. It grunted in pain, staggered forward, and tried to attack again, but Celsus swung the branch around a second time and it was this that did the trick. The youma exploded in a shower of more black dust, fading into the darkness of the evening.
Celsus dropped the stick and shook out his hair, sprinkling dust as he turned to smile at Pharos.
"Well, that was certainly exciting."

Pharos laughed lightly at Celsus comment. The English did have really great tea, or at least that what her mother always said. She found it funny because she was sure her mother had never been to England and thought maybe it was just something she said.
After her landing from the tree and being covered and dust Pharos just took a moment to gather her rattled wits. Even with a youma beneath her she landed a bit harder than she had really want to. She grinned and nodded with Celsus grabbed up the branch and made quick work of the remain youma.
"Very exciting. Thanks for not letting my get carried of by the youma, Sir Celsus." She giggled getting to her feet and dusting herself off grateful for her scarf since it kept the top of her hair dust free.
"Now on to tea, yes please."

Celsus shook his head again, spraying dust everywhere, including on Pharos. Grinning brightly, he stepped towards her, brushing some of it from the top of her head.
"Anytime, my dear," he said, ducking into a deep bow. "I am a knight, after all, and though the code of chivalry is long dead, I will still follow it."
Grinning teasingly, he offered Pharos his arm.
"Shall we? I'll take you to tea now."

Pharos frowned her face up at the sprinkle of youma dust that got on her head, but smile when it was brushed away and continues to brush the stuff off of her. She grinned at Celsus when he bowed to her and simply couldn't help but to giggle at him.
"It's a good code to follow," she said still giggling and took the offered arm and stood.
"Yes, I would much appreciate that tea now. Nothing like a nice cup of tea after a hard youma battle." Pharos was laughing again feeling silly and light now that the danger was gone. Not only that she was really happy to see her friend again.
"You have to tell me how you've been. I spent the whole summer away with my mother and school and the night life as of late don't leave much room for well anything."

A few steps away from the youma dust and back into the alleyway, in the shades of shadows that doused the walkway, Celsus, Squire of Chronos, melted away to instead form Fritz, dressed in a pair of jeans and a sweater, a scarf around his neck.
"I'm afraid I don't have too much to say on the subject of how I've been either," he said, with a tilt of his head. "It wasn't a particularly exciting summer for me. My brother got into a motorcycle accident, and while he's all right, I spent much of my time providing for him."
He gave her a smile. "So there you have it, I had a terribly dull summer. Your life seems vastly more entertaining than my own, I must say."

Pharos followed suit and she was soon standing once again as Eliza, dressed as always in the most colorful of get ups. Tights with planets on the, blue capri joggers, a black shirt with a nebula on it, purple sparkly converse shoes, an Invader Zim hoodie, floral scarf and an over abundance of acessories. She looked ecletic to put it lightly, but that Eliza, never a dull moment or piece of clothing.
“I'm glad to hear you brother is okay, but it still kind of sucks that you didn't have an adventurous summer. Life on the farm isn't very dull, there is so much to do and farmers market is fun. Though I like life in the city too. Maybe next summer, you can visit my farm. I bet you would have fun. We have border collie puppies, though I have to find good homes for them.”
She grinned, “I get to keep one though, which is very very exciting, even I have three kittens, a puppy is just so different.”
