[Note: This battle does not count for Thyone's requirements in any way, not as a battle or regular credit, it does, however, count for Pandora.]]
Granting a girl like Avery Hollister so much power was either a very good or very bad thing, depending on who you asked and which side of the war you stood on. Regardless, it was a decision that had already been made, and she was now Thyone, according to a talking cat. She'd accepted the knowledge with little more than a raised brow, before gaining the rest of her orientation. The name, her powers, the... Uniform [it was a very good thing she was used to heels]... They'd all been given to her, not chosen, but it fit like a second skin.
A very alluring second skin. The magic hummed under her skin, a constant reminder of her increased strength and speed, and Thyone found herself excited to take to the streets. She was unconcerned about the danger that dark alleys presented, and in fact, found herself left alone until she passed a dilapidated apartment building, the front steps of which were occupied by a group of young men.
Her favorite.
"Daaaamn," one called out, another whistling as he shifted to his feet.
Thyone flashed them a distracted sort of smile, hoping that'd be the end of it. She did, after all, have a patrol to finish. Unfortunately, the three males had decided she was a little too interesting to get away.
"Where you headed in such a hurry, baby?"

It stank of cheap light beer, cheap narcotics, cigarettes, and rotting trash. In the day it was a place to skitter by, and by night it became a home for vultures.
And other than Thyone, it was occupied only by those.
The second of the three men, bulkier, a rim of beer-belly rimming his gut leaned forward, arm over his leg. His eyes were lingering on Avery's legs despite the direction of his voice.
"You just like to have fun, don't you? Us too." A long smile. The one with tact. Figuratively speaking. "There's a spot here with your name on it."
Another hard whistle, answering his friend. "You got an a** to match those thighs underneath that dress, girl?" The one without tact.
On patrols, Pandora was already easily agitated. They left her jumpy, frustrated, and her fists itching. Rough, hollering male voices only made her blood boil. People in groups, least of all men, were nothing but trouble. Negaverse bedamned, they gave the rest of the city an excuse to act like there was no law.
The Senshi cut down an alleyway and followed the jeering sounds as the words became more and more clear.

Thyone's lips pursed with muted distaste as her hazel eyes flicked over the men, then the spot offered. Gross. While she did indeed enjoy a good time, she didn't think these were the fellows to give it to her.
"No, thank you," she answered somewhat politely, preferring to get out of the situation with minor discomfort and a smile. Pretty girls were harassed every single day, and most of the time, it was ignorable. Of course, that was before one of his buddy's interjected with a decidedly vulgar comment.
One gold tipped fingernail pointed, a correction. "Rude." Her eyes narrowed. "I don't remember giving you permission to look at me, let alone comment."
While one of the men burst into laughter, shaming his buddy with an "'Ohhh," the others didn't look so amused. Now they were all on their feet.
So much for getting out of it with a smile.

"Aw come on, don't be like that. You're playing," the offended one answered. His shoulders rolled, as though he were shrugging it off. "You're stickin' around, giving some jabs."
He was talking her through his walk forwards, the way he'd started to circle. Just like an animal, giving her every excuse not to leave. "You wanna enjoy the night a little. Hit some bars with us. No one will bother you if you're with us."
Except their small group, of course.
The movement paused, momentarily, as two of them turned to look at the sound of steps far closer than was comfortable.
"This your friend?" They gathered as much, from the mix of equally foreign attire. They could have been performing in some sort of theater act.
"You certainly aren't." Pandora answered, voice hot, a growl in the back of her throat. It was instinctual, the way she put her body between the closest male and the woman dressed in full gown.

Thyone's voice was soft poison, dripping with honey as she shot the man approaching her a hard stare. "I will cut off and force feed you any appendage you ******** touch me with." Before she had a chance to make good on her quiet promise, there was the rapid sound of footfalls, and soon, another joined their encounter.
The brunette felt a strange sort of thrill pulse through her as she caught sight of fiery hair, and hotter words. It was matched by the burn of Order, and she took a half step back as the unknown senshi inserted herself between Thyone and her harassers.
Now things were interesting.
The third man, the lankier, quieter one who had laughed, kept moving during the conversation, and now was just behind the newcomer, and approaching.
"To your right," Thyone murmured, tone curious.

"Back off."
Pandora's shoulders squared, her eyes flicked to her right at Thyone's tone.
The warning was left unheaded, and like a mare who had given fair advance, the redheaded Senshi didn't give him a second chance. Had someone blinked, they would have missed the step to the right.
Jaw grinding, she lurched forwards, hands driving into the man's upper chest and shoulders as she shoved him backwards. His eyes widened at the amount of force she shouldn't have possessed.
"When someone asks you to back off, you back off."
She pushed him again and then Pandora shot a look at the others. The Senshi was sliding back, then, so she could see all of them at once, her hand reaching back and touching Thy's arm to make sure it was still there.

Ooh.
This senshi didn't waste any time in getting physical, and Thyone liked that. If they were all as rough and tumble as her, then the brunette had a hard time believing they were as disorganized and annoying as she'd been told.
She hadn't moved away, and didn't flinch from the physical contact, letting her own fingertips brush Pandora's lower back to let her know she wasn't going anywhere - yet. Not until these guys were taken care of.
Guys who seemed torn on if they should call it quits or follow-through. The bulkiest guy spat on the ground before swiping to grab at Pandora. "b***h," Obviously, Thyone wasn't a threat, so they just had to get rid of the busybody and go back to enjoying their evening.

Knowing her physical strength and speed was increased did not make fights anymore unnerving. Bulky men could still deal damage, even if something that Maia threw at her hurt much more. Pandora wasn't used to fighting against groups, and she certainly wasn't used to having someone to protect.
Consequently, she couldn't go backwards as he swiped. The close proximity forced her to use her elbow, bringing the hard bone into the side of his jaw. Knees followed, and when she felt him release she was driving an open palm into his throat.
Two more.
Pandora was pulling an arm back behind her, confident that one of the others was going to try and grab her from the side, or behind.
Nothing. When the prey wasn't easy, they'd grabbed their buddy instead.
"I don't want to go to jail, man."
Pandora wasn't convinced, standing there panting, looking between the three of them while they watched her. The word b***h was certainly still on their breath, but they were shifting out of the area and had started to walk away. Running, of course, would have been too much of a blow to their egos.
"Why are you out here?" Pandora's question was rough, barely anymore forgiving than her tone with the men, came between long breaths, though she had not yet turned to look at the woman she'd supposedly just gotten out of trouble.

Nope.
Thyone had decided that Pandora knew a bit too much about fighting, and that she wasn't in the mood to stick around to find out if her own gym sparring was up to par. Despite being kind of hot, she seemed like the angry type. Maybe Thyone would've been down to play - if she wasn't due to report in shortly, and preferably, without bruises.
She'd long since let her hand slip away from Pandora - as the man had attacked, and taken a good step backward. Thyone gave the back of Pandora's head a long, calculating look before changing her mind and offering the redhead a swift strike to the back of the knee to slow her down, before she decided to head the other direction.
What the hell did Pandora think she was doing out here? Being evil, obviously!

The air hissed through her clenched teeth. Pandora was picking herself up, right knee smudged dark; her skin below was raw. Later, a small bruise would form behind the joint and disappear almost as quickly.
"Hey!" Pandora pivoted on the balls of her feet and took one, jogging step that deteriorated into an off-balance trip. The Senshi recovered well enough, but the Corrupted Senshi certainly had a head start.
Stumbling over herself, Pandora picked up a sprint and made up the distance between them in endurance.
With the same lack of hesitation Thyone had seen moments before, Pandora reached to grab the woman's arm, and jerk her back, pin her against a wall. Her touch was rough, far moreso than she'd intended, and she forgot for a moment the extra strength Senshi-dom gave her.
"Running makes you look guilty." And Pandora wanted to know what, exactly, Thyone was guilty of.

If they'd been civilians, Thyone might've been able to outrun Pandora. Unfortunately for her, they were both incredibly fast, and while Thyone was capable of running in heels [quite capable, thank you!], Pandora had the advantage of sensible shoes.
Thyone found herself yanked around like a ragdoll, spinning off balance until her back hit brick. It hurt, and the evidence was in the surprised, pained cry that jumped from her throat.
The pain made her act, where she'd usually talk, and the senshi of hedonism reached up to grab the back of Pandora's neck, fingers gripping a handful of hair as she pulled her forward to close the distance between them.
As their mouths met, Thyone mumbled against Pandora's lips:
"Maenad's Kiss!"
Quote: Sailor Scout Attack: Maenad's Kiss! Thyone blows a kiss toward her target, sending a shower of sparkling gold light/magic to envelop them with indulgent scents, flavors and, most importantly, pleasurable sensations. Much like being somewhat intoxicated at a really great party, this distracting attack hits her opponents with feel-good, often resulting in elevated moods, pleasure, and makes it hard to focus on aggression. Kissing her target on the mouth boosts the effectiveness of this attack to super level for the first five seconds before fading back to regular strength. Target: 1 per kiss Duration: 15s Uses: 3x per battle, unless otherwise established by ORP or Meta. Super Sailor Scout Attack: Maenad's Ecstasy! The increased effectiveness now makes opponents feel drunk with pleasure, resulting in uncoordinated movement, elevated moods, and distractibility.

Later, Pandora would look back and think she must have looked really stupid.
At that moment in time, however, she was more concerned with the surprising realization that Thyone's lips tasted of spiced fruit. The Senshi pulled in an involuntary breath, taking with it a muskier smell.
What was wrong with this woman?
What was wrong with herself?
Pandora felt uncomfortable as she found the hand she'd brought up had been softly laid on a hip. Though, using it to emplace distance between her and the member of Chaos was not helping. She forced her gaze up to eyes and brushed a tongue over the tingle in her lips.
Still feeling the buzz, she added with breath. "You can't do that. You're going to get us both in trouble."
Pandora wasn't yet thinking magic; she was thinking her body was experiencing a weird, crazy attraction that was supposed to only exist in books. Extreme aggression wasn't her type, but this girl, she hadn't said anything vulgar.

The kiss lasted longer than Thyone had anticipated, as Pandora's initial surprise turned to relaxation, participation, even? It was confusing, and the corrupt didn't resist as the green and white clad senshi stumbled back, the two of them sharing a long look.
It was the first time Thyone'd attempted her attack that way, and while she was glad that the magic still worked, it seemed more effective than ever. Or was that just Pandora?
"Why not?" She ignored the heat that began to move under her skin at the tone of the redheaded senshi's words and focused on finding an escape route. From her trainings, the attack would only last a handful of moments longer, and soon Pandora's will would be her own, again.
Hazel eyes narrowed almost imperceptively, fist clenching behind her back. "What if I want to?" She took a step or two forward, as if to continue their embrace, and swung hard for Pandora's jaw, hoping that the buzz would be enough to distract her from the impeding attack.
If it all worked out, the combination of pain and pleasure would be all Thyone needed to get out of there.

"Because--" Pandora began to explain, words falling short at want to.
The hands she'd forced to her sides clenched. Pandora breathed.
"Don't."
Just as she was reaching out a hand to stop Thyone in her tracks, she caught the movement out of the corner of her eye. The duck she attempted was worthless under the buzz. The hit was square, and if her teeth had not been clenched, one would have certainly cracked.
It would be plenty for Thyone. Squinting one eye, Pandora took in breath to dull the pain. Her head was ringing, but still scrambling to find a proper answer to the conundrum it had just faced: how can you kiss someone and then punch them the next moment?
Trickery, malice, violent intentions, and irresponsibility. This corrupt senshi was no innocent.
As she stared, hot eyed in the direction Chaos had last traveled, Pandora was certain she'd found the very thing everyone in Order was so scared of.
Evil.
