Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her comment got a smile; a slow smile, with his shoulders relaxed and not even a flash of fear across his face. It was, in its way, reassuring, and it put Al-Janah strangely at ease. Let her come at him, then; let them fall back into things exactly as they'd been before. A bit of stability served him just fine. And, probably, her too.

"I don't think it'll come to that." It was joking, came with a shake of his head, Al-Janah halfway turning in place to search for the source of that feeling. His new uniform, he thought, was a bit more of a pain in the a** than the old: the pants too huge, the see-through overlays prone to catching on the metal detailing of his bracers. He puffed out a breath as he spread and curled his hand again.

"Where's that coming from?" Some things hadn't changed, no, and that was reassuring. The idea of an approaching senshi brought up memories of getting his a** kicked, and got Al-Janah's blood going.

She chose to ignore the smile and turn her attention away from him for the time being; it was the first-stage White Mooner she really wanted to get her hands on-- for now. "We'll see," was all she said in reply to him, while trying to figure out which direction the power signature was coming from.

"Your pants are really poofy," she added as she began to make her way towards her prey.

When she approached the general area of the Senshi, she called out in a sing-song voice, "Come out, come out wherever you areeeee~"

She spoke to Al-Janah now, while searching for their play-thing. "First stage White Mooner... How guilty would you feel about tag-teaming 'em? Also, you're clearly out of practice if you couldn't figure out the general direction of where it's coming from. Apparently there were no White Mooners wherever you've been for the last 6 months?" She smirked.

Leto was never too busy to be hostile.

The sing-song voice sent chills up her spine. Singsongs from anyone older than about ten pretty much meant danger. So Persephone stayed as hidden as she could manage, shaking. This was not going to end well, not like her last encounter with someone on the side of Chaos.

Crap, maybe she could try running - but could she outrun two Senshi stronger then her?

Nothing to do but try. Persephone pushed away from her hiding spot, bolting between the trees without ever stepping onto the path and continuing to pray really hard. Maybe they'd get bored and leave her alone.

Leto was crazy, and that made Al-Janah really grin for the first time. Energy bubbling through him, he lagged a few steps behind her, which meant he at least avoided the two car pile up as they slammed into each other. Instead he screeched to a halt about five steps away, drawing in a breath and watching them struggle to recover.

At least he was better at one thing, now, and that was running in these damned shoes. Heels. Who came up with this s**t.

"...tactical genius." It was a mumble, at least, which meant maybe Leto wouldn't hear it and beat the crap out of him later. He eased back into motion, stepping in to swing a kick at the girl, to drive her back away from his captain while she recovered.

Crazy was probably an understatement. At some point in the last year, something had snapped in Leto and when she was powered she was a completely different person- she was out for blood. It was probably a good thing that she had Remarque to balance her crazy as her Vice Captain.

Leto winced at the shrill scream, then doubled over when Persephone managed to kick her and a flailing fist made contact with her face. She clung to herself beside Persephone on the ground while she tried to catch her breath in the free moment she had while Al-Janah distracted her opponent (and she conveniently for him didn't hear the comment under his breath).

If Leto had known that Persephone was a friend of Tsui's, that probably would've just fueled her anger further.

When she finally caught her breath and pushed herself to her feet, she glared down at the Senshi crumbled on the ground. "Aren't you going to fight back?" She said between clenched teeth. There's nothing that bothered Leto more than a freshly awakened Senshi with no training what-so-ever; this was why she personally made sure that every new recruit in her Court had comabt training.

Like a White Moon Senshi once did to her in the park, Leto drove her booted heel down into the Senshi's ribs with a sickening crunch.

Persephone swallowed. "Don't know how," she confessed. She could dodge, and she could throw a punch - sort of. But fight two opponents at once, both of whom were stronger? There was no way she knew how to handle it.

She probably would have screamed if Leto's boot hadn't driven all the air from her lungs on top of, as she assumed, cracking her ribs. Her head immediately jerked over when she heard another voice, and her expression shifted to relieved gratitude. Sure, the newcomer didn't feel much stronger than her, but a rescue was a rescue, and at least the odds were slightly closer to even - even if they were only odds for escaping, because she wasn't going to be fighting in this state.

There was no chance in hell that Sisyphus could take on the pair of them, no -- not even one of them, for that matter. In fact, in his completely-uneventful time as senshi, he hadn't exactly been doing a lot of fighting, and had won exactly no battles. Even in his dubiously-dubbed 'sparring sessions' with Annwyn and Laoise, he hadn't been coming out on top. No. Their instructions had been clear enough on what to do when he was well matched, let alone outclassed:

Magic them and run.

Which meant he was well-trained for exactly this. Another rock in his hand, but Al-Janah still swaying a bit, eyes distant [rock to the head scattered your brains, just a bit] he pointed at Leto in a shaky way and tipped his chin up. It wasn't imperious. It looked stubborn, and a little bit childish. He always looked younger than he was.

"Sisyphean Task!"

It wasn't terribly effective, magic-wise. It had its uses, but those uses were mostly surprise, and were more effective on Officers than on senshi with magic. All the same. Leto would find herself taking out her henshin pen and putting it away again, whether she wanted to or no, and perhaps that would be confusing enough to buy them time.

Specifically, the 20 seconds it would take him and his new ally to run away.

"Now run!"

He was already on the move as he shouted it to the girl, taking off toward the trees. They just had to get out of sight. Out of sight, and then powered down, and the eyes of Chaos would pass over them completely.
