What exactly these beasts were, Avior honestly did not know. They were not like a youma, no, they didn't feel the same, if that made any sense. Then again, no else was really there for him to explain himself to. No, right now, it was him and... and these things that seemed to suddenly appear out of no where. They were about the size of a small animal, maybe like a squirrel.. Or maybe even smaller. They were rather ghostly looking, ethereal, but at the moment, they looked almost solid. And quite frankly, they were rather glassy looking.. Almost like a mirror.
Never had he encountered such a creature, though it was quite obvious that it was doing something less than pleasant. In this area of the city, a rather large pond outside of an business park, there weren't many people around. In fact, as it was nearing sundown, most people had already left for home, and the free strays that were about seemed to be completely captivated by their work inside of the building. Completely unaware that just out side, The boy was being chased by about half a dozen of these weird things, after his initial investigation of them resulted in them attacking him. His normal strikes didn't seem to do much.. It was like punching air!
Atleast, while they chased him, he could go on and try to lead them away from the people around here!
litian Sorry, it's kinda lame, I wasn't sure how to introduce him into the battle! XD I figured, if you wouldn't mind, Athene could come to the rescue! Be his 'knight in shining armor' for this RP or what not. XD

Unlike some of his fellow senshi Athene had no real patrol route, quite often letting his feet dictate the direction in which to head for. It meant that you were as likely to find him hitting up the patrol beat near the park as you were to find him walking along the back alleys of the city. He'd ended up hitting the patrol beat earlier than usual, for all that he didn't need to hurry back home, the city coloured in orangeish colours as it slowly sunk in the sky. It was getting darker earlier, a far cry from earlier on in the summer break when the days had seemed to stretch into almost forever. It was also relatively quiet, with most of the '9 to 5' crowd most likely in the process of being in transit back to their homes. The late afternoon was peaceful, but a bit nippy and Athene had found himself wishing that he'd indulged himself in buying a hot drink before setting off, when he picked up on what felt like the aura of a nearby Super Senshi. He probably wouldn't have thought much on it, but there seemed to be something else along with the senshi with both seemed to be headed in his direction. Or at least Athene thought they might be headed in his direction. Curious, Athene picked up his pace figuring that it wouldn't hurt to at least take a look. As it happened though, both the senshi and the something 'other' that he'd picked up on had been closer than he'd realised, Athene's eyes narrowing slightly as he recognised the three things darting towards the other senshi - mirror wraiths - although like that other time there seemed to be no corresponding dark mirror senshi around. Frowning Athene dashed forward, hand moving to swing out at the closest wraith. "You need to hit them" he called out the Super as he did. "That should shatter them."

Avior briefly thought about the luck he had, running into all of these Eternal senshi recently at the most convienient times. Not that he would complain, no, not at all! But the advice given.. Yeah, not quite the most helpful.
"Thanks for your help!" He breathed, taking a moment tu turn arround and face the three monsters head on. As the other came about attack one of the wraiths that came too close, he seemed a bit puzzled.
"When I tried to hit them, they just went incorpreal. Like they were ghosts. How am I supposed to hit them if they weren't solid?"

"They turn solid when they steal energy" Athene told the other senshi, a slight frown momentarily flitting across his face as he missed the wraith he'd been trying to hit. "The Dark Mirror senshi use them" he added absently as he swung out at another of the wraiths, the thing smashing as his attempt managed to connect this time round. In doing so however, Athene had lost track of the first wraith that he'd initially tried to swing up and the thing darted through him draining a bit of his energy as it did so. It seemed more solid than before, the bit of energy granting it the substance it had lacked before.

"The Dark Mirror Senshi..?" Really! So they used these kinds of monsters! He supposed that it made sense, just a wee bit. If only he could grab one, study it, see exactly what it did, then maybe he could understand the Dark Mirror world that had been tempting him so much recently.
But not now, not here when there was another White Mooner around. Though it was none of his business what happened to the other senshi, he couldn't let this one get hurt, not after he had stepped in to save him!
"Atleast a little energy draining won't kill you, right?" Avior ran behind the Athene, giving the eating beast a swift punt, as if aiming for a football. The monster didn't go flying, however, instead it shattered like the first one did.
"Alright, two down, but where's the last one?"

"I guess" Athene said quietly as the Super senshi smashed the second mirror wraith. "It's still stealing though" he added as he glanced around in an attempt to try and spot where the third wraith had gotten to. "It's not like people are volunteering to... Hey watch out!" The third wraith had chosen that moment to make an appearance, Athene belated realising that the Super was the thing's intended next target as it darted in the other's direction. He darted after it himself, but hopefully his called warning was enough that the other wouldn't be taken by surprise.

Did he end up offending the other? Crap, that's not what he had meant to do at all! It was a good opportunity to hit it, that was all! Distracted, Avior turned to the other, holding his hands up in an apology.
"No, that's not what I meant, I mean In this situation it gives us the chance to--" His lack of attention had been a mistaken and before he realized it, the wraith was upon him slipping straight through him and came at him from behind.
He was stunned, and the wraith began to drain from him once again.
"W-where did it go?!"
litian I hope it can do that! It it seems wrong, let me know!

It seemed that his called out warning was not enough as the wraith darted through the Super senshi, it was turning for another pass, but Athene was close enough by that point to be able to swing out at the solid-looking wraith. Like the other two, one hit was enough to dust the thing and then it was just him and the Super Senshi. Athene gave the other an anxious glance "Are you okay?" he asked quietly.

The monster had drained enough energy from the boy that he felt weak. He allowed himself to fall to his knees, his hands clenching at his chest, perhaps a bit more dramatically than he needed to.
"I feel out of it.. Just not right.." Avior struggled a bit, but did glance up at the Eternal, giving him a bit of a smile. "I don't know what to say.. I've never had myself drained, that I know of.. It feels terrible.. You've been around longer than I, right..? Seen some things? What am I supposed to do to feel less.. horrible?
litian I was reading that they take more energy if they go through someone, and since it went through Avior, I figured it feel alot more fatigued and bizarre than if it were just 'attempting' to drain him.

"I think the only thing that cures energy draining is rest" Athene started, before looking thoughtful as he got an idea. Reaching for a small bag that he'd looped into his top sash he offered the contents to the Super senshi. "But mayhaps these might help a little - at least until you get home." The contents were some cookies that he'd brought along in case he wanted something to munch on, or (since his chat with a certain silvery-furred guardian cat) in case he ran into ********* by chance, but they made him feel better when he had long nights - maybe they'd do the same for the other senshi.

"Huh..? I Uh... Thank you, really.. I'm grateful.. " His weight shifted, so that he was sitting up now, cross-legged on the soft ground. For a moment, he simply held the bag, trying to keep his eyes open for a bit longer. He really.. Really just wanted to sleep. The ground was just so soft.. With a deep breath, trying to wake himself up further, he took a cookie, slowly chewing on it. He had to stay awake.. He just.. He just had to.
"Geesh.. Look what I've gotten myself into.. Maybe I should just crawl into a hole for a while.. I don't think I'll really be able to make it home like this.."

Athene looked anxiously at the other senshi "You don't want to fall asleep out here" he said quietly. "It's too dangerous." He hesitated, before adding "But if you want I can help you get home if you don't live too far away." Not that that Athene was planning to just leave the other - not in the state he was in. No it was more the fact that if the other didn't live too far away then between them they could manage to somehow get the other back home. Athene didn't think it would work if the other lived too far away though given that the Super senshi didn't look like he was up to walking much less walking anywhere far.

"I Know.. I know.. It's a stupid thing to want, but I just feel too tired." If anything shocked him back to being atleast semiconscious, it was the offer. It was okay if other White moon Senshi knew of personal lives, right? But his home wasn't exactly nearby...
"That's really, really kind of you, and I'd really appreciate it.. It's pretty far.. I don't think We could really get there without me keeling over and powering down first.." A soft, tired laugh came from him as he laid back down in the grass. "I'll just.. You know.. Nap here.. Call a cab later.. Or something.."
litian I think if you wanted to leave Avior here, he'd be alright. His driver would come pick him up, and he'd be in trouble for it! XD Unless They wanted to power down and wait together. I don't know how you'd feel about Isha learning Athene's secret identity. And Avior's never told anyone about his private business either.

Athene bit his lip for a few moments as he listened to the Super senshi's words before coming to a decision. "Look I can stick around for a bit. Do you have someone you can call? A friend or someone?" He didn't feel in all honesty that he could just leave the other there, not with the Super senshi all tired as he was - that was just asking for trouble on the other senshi's part - especially (in his experience) given the Negaverse's habit of attacking to kill. If someone like Painite was about (and here Athene stifled a shudder) the Super would just be a sitting duck.

"You'll stay around? Really..?" Biting down on his lip, he fought back being overwhelmed with happiness and relief, as many people, including himself, tended to feel a bit more emotional when they are tired. He reached into his apron, pulling out a regular phone, and dialing his driver.
"Hey.. Yeah, I'm at the building complex.. Uh.. The one near the park? Yeah.. Uh-huh.. Come as soon as you can.. Thanks.." Atleast that was the one reliable thing about having a driver. Greg was always one to pick up on the first ring, and he and that Wraith of his loved speeding down the roadways. It would simply be a matter of minutes before he arrived.
"I really do appreciate this.. I don't think I ever really got your name.. I'm Avior, by the way. I'm a super Senshi.."
litian If you'd like, we can go ahead and use your post, and my next post as closing ones! You can say that Athene saw the car, and went to go hide away or something until Avior got into the car or something~
