Welcome to Gaia! ::

While Erythrite was getting used to her new form, Machholz was just trying to avoid all conflict ever. She was the worst Senshi in history, she had to be. Swallowing a bit, she was watching the streets below her from the roof of a building. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she detected a familiar feeling energy. Yet it wasn't familiar at the same time.

Thus far she'd felt youma energy as well as a corrupted senshi's energy, but this one was different. Biting on her black painted lip and jumped from the roof, landing lightly with a clatter of heels on cement. Taking a deep, quicky breath, Machholz walked towards that energy, speech ready on her tongue.

"You should just come out and give yourself up, evil... You evil energy!"

Yep, it took her all night to think of that one.

While her eyes looked the other over, they also hardened once she realized what Erythrite was putting in her pocket. Her jaw clenched and she put her hands into fists before stepping forward in confident, wide steps. "You don't deserve that energy. Give it back to him now." Her eyes flicked over to the man she'd taken it from, a pissed off look on her face.

It was her job to protect people, even if they looked like greasy dirt bags that didn't deserve the protection. "So I'm going to give you two choices, cup cake. Either give him back his energy, or I will melt off that lovely face you have." So she threw in a compliment here and there, was that so bad? Machholz's fashionista side looked the other from head to toe, complimenting her on her uniform. It was lovely, and that hat was simply adorable! She'd have to get one later on, maybe her next shopping trip.

Right, she had a job to do.

"He deserves it more than evil," Machholz growled out, stepping even closer to the other. At least she wasn't a General. She wasn't quite sure what she was dealing with right now, but she had a feeling a General would be bad, especially since this girl seemed to report to one.

When she tried to bargain with her, Machholz pulled her fist back and swung without thinking. It wasn't her first punch to be thrown, that was for sure, but no way was she a seasoned veteran at fighting. That black mesh covered fist was aiming for the girl's face, digging her feet into the ground as much as possible so she wouldn't be easily pushed over if her punch was blocked.

"You're evil! You're stealing energy from innocent people!" She half screamed. It turned into a whimper of pain as the elbow connected firmly to her gut, causing her to drop to her knees. Okay, gut things hurt. They hurt really bad. Swallowing thickly, the Senshi writhed on the ground for a moment and slowly got to her feet again.

Shuddering hard, Machholz looked up at the other and grit her teeth hard. "...I threw... the first punch because you pissed me off!" With that, she lunged at the other girl, a leg flew out, aiming a kick at the other's side. Retaliation for the gut punch.

Her instincts weren't as strong. A kick landed on her side and knocked Machholz to her hands and knees once more before she wobbled and fell to her elbows. Sweat beaded her forehead as her head drooped. Okay, fighting hurt and she was probably going to feel all of this in the morning. Remembering what the Knight taught her about her magic, the Senshi slowly got to her feet again.

She was wobbly, like a newborn deer learning to stand, but she did it with the help of the building at her side. Gasping when she straightened up, those pale eyes of hers hardened and darkened in anger. "Not everyone on this planet is good and innocent, but if you hurt them, you'll have to answer to me."

Machholz swallowed thickly as she took her stance, feet apart. She concentrated on that magic deep inside of her and she looked up at the lieutenant before speaking. "Hazardous Gas." With that, her hands went to her chest and she sucked in her breath before exhaling a fog of green smoke. Erythrite was close enough for this to affect her, she made sure of it before she started this attack. Soon the other woman would find it difficult to concentrate and maybe even feel a little dizzy. She had to wait, bide her time to strike.

"You've picked the wrong Senshi to mess with," was all Machholz said to answer her question. When she was sure the affects of her gas were in full affect, the pale girl was a flurry of dark skirt and flying fists. She was looking to make this battle quick and easy. Sure, fighting wasn't something she did all the time, but she knew where it would hurt. A punch was aimed at her stomach, at the same time one was aimed at Erythrite's chest, hoping to knock the wind out of her.

Her gas wouldn't last long and would dissipate within seconds. Her magic wasn't strong enough to use this attack again, nor make it last even a full minute, so she had to make the most of it.
