It was a cold snap again, but small favors meant it wasn't accompanied by wicked amounts of ice, freezing rain, or snow accumulation. It was just cold, dry, and probably miserable. Thraen couldn't tell as well, anymore, which was a blessing and a curse. He'd not bothered with the extra trench coat he'd had taken to wearing this winter- if only work on inuring his nerves more to the elements. The poor thing had need of sewing anyway, why add tatty to colourful and dumb?
He was perched solidly on the top of a light bank in the Westin Mall parking lot, the many tiers of commercial floodlights warm and one of the only things that had much hope of blinding out his fuku and silhouette in the evening dim. It also provided a decent vantage to watch the lot, the nearby highways, the businesses, and the shopping mall itself. There were no immediate auras, good or bad, and hadn't been for twenty or so minutes. He took out his phone to double check his sense of time-
Accurate enough....wait? Two. Generals, at the edge. The Super Senshi of Gardens looked around from his perch, muscles tensing. The auras hovered it seemed, then were growing nearer with the slow certainty of distance being covered. It could be other generals, together for some other errand. It could be. But any two coming on my signature is already not good. I could run, power down. Its no good so close to the mall- if it IS those two, what would be to prevent them just murdering every guy between the ages of fifteen and twenty five just to try to make sure they got the scout they'd been tracking. I have to stay powered up and at least see who it is. Two Generals.
I don't have many options anymore. Who would be willing of those left to at least gather a body?
His thumb worked the keys without much thought, instinct of last hopes turning to the last untroubled smile he'd known. If he was lucky, the other youth had his phone handy. If he was unlucky, it was the price of a gamble.

" 'Lo?" Eridanus tone was, perhaps understandably casual, having no idea how much danger Thraen was in. For all he knew it was a casual call. hey let's go beat up youma and then watch Sharknado or something. "What's up, Thraen?
The Senshi of Ink was, well, honestly a little distracted. Destiny City these days was a huge map of power blips, far more than there'd been when he'd left, and it was still a bit of an adjustment.
Wolframite was out hunting. Had been out hunting with Bismuthite for some time. They came across blips, a few passing signatures they didn't bother darting after. Let the worms crawl for a while and be squashed by their heels later. They had other pressing, personal matters to attend to.
Whenever they came across something that felt like him, they would switch direction and head straight for it. So far they only passed a knight, to which they didn't bother engaging once they spotted the uniform, and another senshi, which they made short work of and disposed of quickly.
After a few days of searching, they came upon the blip at the mall, and together headed that way. Wolframite would have been fine on his own, but considering that Thraen had already escaped him twice, it was good to bring backup. He was sure that Bismuthite was also worried considering the close call hanging that happened before.
They entered the parking lot, and looking about, spotted the figure up on the lighting tower. He wanted to get close. To hear what he had to say, but Bismuthite had warned him about his chatter. For now, he only ran at full speed, and once close enough, jumped up and threw his blade.
The light tower shattered in shards of glass and sparks. "Guess Who!!!" He shouted, spinning out to kick off that dumb blonde from his high and mighty pedestal.

Bismuthite did not approve of this man hunt, and had protested vehemently, but sometimes there was no reasoning with Wolframite. He was merely there to keep Wolframite's a** out of trouble - the kind of trouble that came from grudge matches and 'getting even.' Finally it seemed that the hunt had come to fruition, as Wolframite's prey was located. Bismuthite could only give a heavy sigh as he followed behind Wolfy.
The Senshi of Vengeance had just arrived at the meeting place that she and the Senshi of Ink had agreed upon as a starting place for a light patrol that evening. She remained silent when she realized that he had his phone pulled out, however, waiting to see if someone else would be joining them this evening as well. She remained standing just off to the side, not wanting to interrupt or eavesdrop on the conversation despite her curiosity.

The pick up and voice answering made his stomach leap into his chest- someone at least would have an idea of what was going to happen. It also brought a mental sneer- the fear of anonymity in death still so instinctual and present in himself as to rear such desperation. "Two Generals, the Westin Mall. Beeline right for me. Civilians here, they might kill them if they don't find me directly. "
He felt the auras flare close, too close, and there was a sudden shower of sparks and glass- they were accurate and he hopes of some concealment and a few seconds were unfounded. There was an impact in his body, and he was falling.
I know the voice. Desummon phone. Roll with-
Impact, only it wasn't a free section of lot and macadam, it was on a car hood and his body crunched into the crash-cage that was built into the physics of the machine. His diaphragm was frozen from it, unable to reclaim breath that had been pushed out. Thraen scrambled drunkenly to get out of the car and to his feet, looking to get a bead on where both the two were.
Was it enough information? What do I hope for? Rescue? Body bag? It's that two, alright. His lungs moved again, wheezing answer, "I remember."

He landed down from the high kick onto a truck bed and stood, looking over, at the crumpled car a few vehicles away. Hoping out, he started to walk over, the shattered glass crunching under his heels as he beelined right for the senshi.
"I'm glad I didn't escape your mind after my untimely death." He joked, teeth gritted as he saw Tharen hobble back to his feet. That didn't last long, as he spun on his heel again to deliver another kick. He had to learn to stay down. It would make this go a lot faster.
"That was a cute trick back there on the bridge. Very sneaky. I know a few other senshi who pull sneaky tricks." Namely the DMC. "I don't like sneaky tricks." He growled.

Like the good guard dog that he was, Bismuthite stayed close to Wolframite, but not hinderingly so. His weapon was already summoned and ready in his hand.
"He's a far cry from the Blood Moon though, wouldn't you say?"
Bismuthite had warned Wolf about talking too much, but if Threan happened to escape, it might give the senshi something to ask around about, and show him that the senshi weren't so lilly white. Planting seeds of doubt, of disgust, to bring him to the light. The light of chaos. It was Bismuthite's way.
Not that he expected Wolfy would let Thraen leave alive.
No. In fact he was almost sure that this would be a night that the senshi did not live to regret. Not unless he had some really good luck on his side. After all, he was up against two Generals who would do nothing short of die for one another.
"But still, my love," Bismuthite looked over at Wolframite with a look of lust and danger, sharp and yet honey-smooth, "it's best to be rid of him before he can devolve to their methods."
"Th..." Eridanus started to try and ask for more information, but the phone disconnected, which was...
It was damn worrisome. Two Generals bearing down on Thraen?
"Hey Batgirl! You know that guy I wanted you to meet?" He knew they didn't have time to really explain a lot right now, not when they had to get on the move. They were out gunned, period, but they might be able to put up enough of an offensive front to retreat before someone...yeah.
"Thraen's in trouble! He's got two generals closing in on him, there are civilians, and he just..." he glanced at the phone. "He disconnected. We gotta get to the mall, right now."
He just hoped Thraen wasn't already....
Ugh, just say it. Think it even. Dead. He hoped they hadn't just lost someone else. He didn't know the details, but he was picturing Tanzenite's Arm, and Obsidian's Youma and The Tree's Children...
They'd tried really hard then too, and it hadn't been enough.

Stormy eyes darkened as she tried to mentally map out the best route from where they were currently to the mall, lips curling into a snarl as she cursed at just how easy it was for the other side to get the drop by teleporting when they had to rely on being able to quickly dash from Point A to Point B.
Damn useless not-wings attached to her bow were no help either...
She gave Eridanus a solid, determined nod before bounding off from where they were. It was always easier to travel by leaping springs over rooftops until they ran out of roof and simply had to run.
Tactical strategy against superior odds is 'sneaky'? But it was hard to keep up any feeling of incredulity when there was a boot kissing his body. They were both speaking, and he was drop-skidded on his hands and knees about a foot. Bloodmoon? 'my love'?!
There was the key why the cowboy was along for the ride. Why he'd looked murderous the last time. Thraen swallowed for air. Not friends, lovers.
Kicking distance was well close enough, or in the least he needed the room to breath by driving them off of him directly. Or the small one. The other one wasn't....engaging so far. No banking on that if the small one got caught by the vines. If he didn't, the general would at least be forced the pace like a predator at the perimeter or try to attack from a distance. For seconds. Then what? The same thing that always happens when people without weapons fight people with weapons. They tear you apart.
"Thraen Perennial Planting-" He called the magic from his knees, blowing the seeds from hand into a panoply of colour and writhing, growing vines.

Here's the indetermined fight rounds
F a y t h - x
between the three
Magic Info:
How it Works - Thraen folds his hands together like holding a butterfly, the opens hands and they are full of seeds. He blows over them, dispersing the seeds. Hundreds of vined flowers spring up, growing and blooming magically. Their scent causes those who stand near them to fall asleep, while the vines grasp up and bind them Range - The patch of vines and flowers that grows is a 12 ft radius around Thraen Duration - The flowers bloom in the post he casts them. If allies and enemies do not get at least 10 ft away from the flowers, they fall asleep like Dorothy in Wizard of Oz. The sleep lasts for 15 seconds. The vines, however, last until the flowerpatch vanishes, and they hold a person down, bound among the flowers. The patch lasts for 20 seconds before vanishing. Damage Summary - Someone might get a bruise from falling over. Weaknesses - If someone doesn't stay near them long enough, they don't fall asleep and get tangled. If people hold their breath, wear a breathing mask, or cover their mouth and nose with wet cloth can avoid the scent as well. Once a person has fallen asleep in one flower bed, they cannot be affected by that bed again. Only a separate bed would affect them. This is an AoE (area of Effect) spell that effects allies as well as enemies. Frequency of Usage - Twice a battle.

He glanced for only a moment at Billy, not wanting to pull his eyes away from Threan in case he had any ideas, and smiled just as viciously back. "No, he's not even close to Ares, but he is still a stubborn weed." A vine that needed to be violently ripped from it's root and burned out from existence. It had planted down on his planet and he didn't like it marring his pretty lawn. He needed to die. Would die. He wanted to see red staining that pristine pastel uniform. He wanted to see the plants that surrounded his body wilt. He wanted to see if that uniform could drink blood as easily as a spring rain.
Most of all, he wanted his starseed. That shining light within him that would cease his existence here and for ages on. He wanted to taste it.
"How about we split that starseed. I'm sure it will taste nice." He said, stepping closer and reaching out just when he heard the words.
He didn't jump back. No. Billy was here and wouldn't let Thraen get away. This was a trick Wolframite already knew. It was one he predicted. Instead, he summoned his weapon and, as he was this close and Thraen was kneeling, he threw the chain around him and pulled him up with him. If Thraen wanted to restrain him with plants, Wolframite could restrain him with a chain.
Billy could teach Thraen a lesson for trying that move again if it didn't work out exactly right.

Of course, as should have been expected, Wolframite had told Bismuthite of the target's powers. He quickly lifted his kerchief over his nose and slashed at the plants that were around him with his weapon. Wolframite had the senshi, and Bismuthtie could only hope he had remembered to hold his breath...

When the chain flashed out and wrapped round him it was difficult to push down the spike of panic, but not impossible. Thraen mastered the flare and set to leveraging muscle against muscle to wear at the hold of the chains like fingers working at loosening a knot. Neither general was retreating from the field, so much. One general was appropriately fighting the living vines to avoid being caught, while the small one apparently surrendered to it for the very apt opportunity of making it a stand off. He had time. They all had time. Twenty seconds.
To not panic. To take stock of the couple parked cars around them. Try- keep trying to get the chain loose. How in the world could he use a parked car to buy time or discourage them? He couldn't lift a car, couldn't drive these here without keys (besides that was stealing), and they were both too fast to reliably throw into one.
The magic was fading. He could feel the edges ebb, the flowers and colour fading with the vines like it was all a mirage or ghost. Twenty second and he had no more idea than before. The chain wasn't loosed enough to get out of completely, just working at freeing a hand.

That freed hand was going to become a regret. When the vines were hacked, when they loosened, and when Wolframite breathed out and caught his breath inhales, he tightened the chain before he noticed that one free hand. Someone had been naughty and tried to escape.
Pulling the senshi close, he leaned over and yanked down to angle the senshi lower and spoke into his ear. "Oh, you want me to take your hand?"
He let go of his weapon and grabbed the arm. While the senshi could deal with freeing himself, Wolframite already was making his move. He took the freed arm in both his hands, gripping around it, and then he jerked to the right, pulling at the arm until he heard a satisfying sound.
A wide smile spread over his features as he looked up to the senshi to catch his expression.
