The factory was silent, quiet aside from the three figures and their hostages. WP, a Negaverse aura dressed in a cloak, caplet, and wearing a white mask, stood beside Lellouch, who he informed to sit and tied her hands (loosely) behind her. It gave the impression of a hostage for the time being. Her messy hair helped with the image. Beside WP was Alkaid, devoid of disguise and a beacon of power. Then there was Buddingtonite with his own hostage, Damocles. It hadn’t worked exactly as planned, but the hostages did spur the other to call for action.
He could feel their auras approaching like a mass of power. Familiar but different. Foreign. Unwanted on his planet but desired here and now. He didn’t dare glance as the figures in the shadows far above them, silent in the rafters, poised and ready. Quiet and watching, wondering, waiting, and ready to lay down their own loyalties for his and their own cause. The plan had been set, and all grievances and complaints were too late to be addressed down. It was now and never for all of them, and for once in a long time, knights, senshi, and the Negaverse would be on one side, collectively against the DMC.
He had given a lot for this. He had risked his future. Years of loyalty had made him an upstanding member of the Negaverse. While not famous, he was efficient. He had lived through hardship, and attained the rank of General. He had someone dear and close to him who he could loose. His life and those close to him could be lost if he screwed up, and he signed his name on the dotted line in the hopes for revenge.
To put those who had died that day when the Dark Phoenix rose, when Tanzanite had made her own sacrifices, in order to save them all. He owed it to them to fight for their name, for their deaths, and for the debt he could never pay to those who were not unable to fight.
When the doors opened the factory, the wind blew some of the sawdust that littered the entire factory floor.
There he stood, watching as they came. “So you actually showed up.” He mused out loud, looking at none other than the new leader herself. She wasn't Ares, but the head of any monster was still a prize, and he knew she had been there. She deserved this just as much as Ares herself. She was the Queen to her own Kingdom, and he would stab her with her own crown.
He could already taste her starseed, and like a wild animal who had long since followed the trail, he felt his heart race with the coming battle.

Leto, it's Tantalus - I've encountered something of a, ah, situation. A couple of Negaverse Generals have Damocles, and I could use some assistance in getting him back.
When Leto got the call from Tantalus on her compact, every hair on her body raised as goosebumps covered her flesh. There was very little in the world that put Leto on the defensive- but her precious Dark Mirror babies were her everything and to hear that some ******** Negaverse scum had one of them? Nope nope nope, so many nopes. The moment she got the location details from Tantalus, she sat in Mirror Space and put out a call to the rest of the Court, unknowing of who was actually powered up at the time to receive it. With a deep breath, she pushed away any bit of emotion and stepped through the cool surface of one of many mirrors.
She stepped out into the darkness of Destiny City in her Eternal form, not daring to power up to Princess and be a beacon for the entire super powered community to flock to her. Immediately her feet were propelling her towards the location that Tantalus insisted Damocles was taken, her thoughts on one thing and one thing only- getting in, destroying whoever it was that took him, and getting him the ******** out.
Stopping in the middle of a few factories, Leto squinted into the darkness, reaching out to try and feel a power signature. Finding Tantalus and allowing a group to form, Leto stepped up to the door that Tantalus pointed out and she swung them open with ease. The voice struck her immediately and her dark red eyes narrowed.
"Of course I showed up," she said through clenched teeth, taking a few steps into the wide open space. She looked from the masked person to Alkaid and Lellouch who seemed to be a hostage, then to the second person with Damocles. "I would never allow some piece of s**t like you get away with taking one of my own." Her eyes stopped once again on Lellouch and she smirked. "Seems you assholes have no qualms with that, considering you've got one of your own Senshi bound and beaten."
Leto shook her head and took another step towards the group, completely unaware of the group that remained hidden. "Let him go and I won't be forced to kill you." A smile spread across her lips as she stared at the masked man, her hands balling into fists at her side.
It had been a battle with himself for Tantalus not to panic waiting for Leto, because panic would only make the situation worse - so instead he had let a completely different emotion take hold of him, and that was pure rage. He had never so wanted to end another human's life as he wanted to end every one of the people that had Damocles. The red-haired General with the boomerang, in particular - with his rose petals and his disgustingly mocking attitude.
He might have chosen fear, as an alternative, given what he was wading into - but no, it was impossible to be afraid with both Remarque and Leto, the Prince and Princess of the Dark Mirror, present and prepared to help in this rescue mission.
Once they were inside, the brown-haired Senshi was silent, his attention on only one thing - Damocles. No matter what else was to come, his first priority was getting to his boyfriend and making sure he was alright. Jaysen, or whatever name she might go by in her powered form, was a secondary afterthought - a quick glance to confirm she was still alive. He would have to make sure she wasn't injured in any crossfire, because her dying would sort of render this whole mess pointless.

So far, so good, General Buddingtonite thought. While he was hoping to do more with his threats, the moment he entered the old factory, it was all business from there. His pleasant and killjoy demeanor had dropped and become much more solem, as though he were tending to a funeral as opposed to a wedding, though in a way, wasn't he? Wolframite, Lellouch and himself were leading the Dark Mirror Court into the slaughter, so that comparison did seem accurate, and the way he stood there, one arm hooked around his arms from behind and the other hand digging firmly into that blonde hair of his, there was no smile on his face, no gleam of pleasure in his crimson red eyes.
He didn't speak. He barely breathed, a look of intense concentration on his face, or at least from what little could be seen from behind the festive and completely out of place Mardi Gras cat mask he wore. Was this not a testament to how serious a situation was when General Buddingtonite couldn't spare a single joke or chuckle? Tonight, Wolframite would get the revenge he so righteously deserved and the ground would be stained with blood. Tonight, Leto would show that she was willing to go down for her court, become a shining example of loyalty and devotion when facing against unimaginable odds. Tonight, the Negaverse would put aside their differences with the Knights, cats, chibi and Senshi of the White Moon to do what they feel is right in all the world. But it was none of these world-shattering changes that made Buddingtonite so very, very serious.
Instead, it was Damocles' hair and how it tickled his nose from this angle, and that look of pure, untainted concentration was merely meant to fight off the incoming sneeze that would undoubtedly ruin the moment.
'Must. Not. Sneeze. Must. Not. Sneeze.'
Despite his own discomfort and Leto's threat, not to mention the intensity of Tantalus' hateful glare, Buddingtonite's grip on Damocles was iron-locked, and he would not let go.

Remarque should have been more surprised when he'd heard the Negaverse was up to something, but he'd always expected it. There were few of their numbers that he even remotely trusted, and even fewer now that he was staring at two hostaged Dark Mirror Senshi. He was unfamiliar with them to the point that he did not know their names, but that didn't mean he intended to sit idly by.
It had not taken him long to tear himself from the long, empty corridor of Mirrorspace he had been walking, and he made his way towards the factory. Like Leto, he shared a taste for discretion and arrived as an Eternal Senshi. Unlike Leto, he had no desire to exchange words. It was unlike him to let anyone do the speaking for him, but he did not entirely disagree with her words. If she wanted the spotlight, she could have it. He had far more engaging things to tend to, like assess the group in front of him. He regarded them with with a cold stare as he tried to identify them by what he could see of their uniforms. Beyond an expression of annoyance, Remarque was doing a decent job of keeping his emotions in check.
Once, Leto had been the Dark Mirror Court's liaison for all Negaverse affiliated things. If she couldn’t resolve the situation now, Remarque wasn't going to step in with his own argument. All he wanted was the Negaverse a good distance away from those Dark Mirror Senshi.
And if they wouldn't leave willingly?
The Dark Mirror Court would just have to make them.

Lellouch sat between the two higher rank. She kept her head down, kept quiet, and tried to make herself look as small as possible. Every now and then, she'd glance up through the top of her eyes, past the tendrils of blond hair that helped hide her face. She was mildly surprised when she saw Buddingtonite drag her brother in of all people. But then again... He always was the type to do something stupid like that. The blonde senshi released a slow breathe, listening to the building around them creak and groan in the wind, wondering if it was indeed the wind that was the source of the noise, or something else.
Only when the doors opened and the wind rushed in did she finally look up and slowly begin to uncurl from her hunched position. Lellouch ignored the quick glance that Tantalus gave him, opting instead to stare past him at glance over Leto. At first glance, one might not think much of the tiny woman covered from head to toe in camouflage, but Lellouch knew there was more then met the eye. The senshi played the part, sulking and shrinking again when Leto addressed her 'condition'.
Then she turned her gaze to the blonde male that walked in with her.
...
What the ******** was it with people and gaudy clothing of colors that didn't look good together at all. Between people feeling the need to walk around like flower patches and this? Ugh.. Whatever. The senshi released a breathe again, as she rolled her shoulders slightly. She'd have to be careful. Around both of them. She knew that much at least.
---
Damocles his head, or rather his gaze down. It's hard to move his head much when his captor had their hand fisted in his hair. He had long given up trying to get his sister to look at him. When the others walked in he glanced at Leto sheepishly before letting his gaze wander over to Tantalus. If it weren't for the hand in his hair, Damocles would have shrunk and sulked on the spot. Instead, the corners of his lips twitched downwards as he looked at the senshi. Sure, it might have been a stupid idea, and he could very likely end up killed because of it. But despite the situation, he wasn't sorry for his actions. And he'd do it again if the situation ever arose.

He remained where he was, not out of fear of being near Leto would harm him. No. He wanted to come close. He wanted to wrap his hands around her neck, to see those teeth clench out of pain and not just anger, and to watch the whites of her eyes grow.
Instead, he watched her, restraining himself for just a moment. “What a strange thing to say. That you would never let anyone get away with taking one of your own. It rings a bell.” He said, taking one step and just one in her direction. “No matter how long it takes. No matter to what lengths. The loyalty to ones group, to those close to them, to their family, would make you go to whatever ends for their safety. And to those who cross your path, you would kill.”
He agreed with her on this, and smiled. “I would kill.”
He did not even bother glancing. “Many of us would kill.”
He narrowed his one good eye to her. “Tell me, does this all sound familiar? It’s been a while. Called to a open location. Side by side with those close to you. Powerful people. Sure nothing would ever happen.” He remembered that day with Uranophane, Tanzanite, and the others. They had come to meet in the open at a specific place. It was told it would be a simple talk. They wouldn’t be fighting, but Tanzanite brought backup with her. She brought him. They had been close, and they never suspected they would be attacked. The energy signatures of a mass of DMC senshi coming out from the hidden void that their magical cats gave them to break them down and capture them.
Tonight, he would relieve that day and use it against her. He would let her taste her own poison. However, instead of kidnapping her and all she loved, he would kill her. He did not believe in hostages. He believed in fighting with your onw ability and even if he felt Leto and the others didn’t deserve such an honor as being able to fight on their own two feet after what they had done, he wasn’t willing to lower himself to their level to punish them.
He had one plan, one desire, tonight. To end the DMC.
“You want to kill me? Well, let’s see how far you get."
"You and your army....
..Against me and mine.”
To which he gave a sharp whistle, calling up to Europa up in the rafters. With the signal, those assembled to oppose the DMC dropped down around the DMC.
It was time to fight for what they all believed in.

It was no use. Buddingtonite could barely contain himself now. From the moment he drew his dark mirror senshi in, the moment the Royals, both of them appeared, he had felt the urge become unbearable. Like a raging storm, threatening to consume him and all around him. He had to do it. He had to.
The whistle that Wolframite gave concealed his small sneeze, and once that was freed, he could finally give in to his urge.
He let out a shout, echoing Wolframite's signal with one of his own, to help herald in the horsemen of the DMC's apocalypse that came crashing in from the rafters.

BATTLE ON!
Setting: Inside an abandoned factory. The floor is covered in saw dust and there are blacked-out windows very high up.
Rules: 1.) Quote whoever you target. No more than 2 people attacking 1 person. 2.) If a rper does not respond in 1 hour to your post, you are free to target someone else. If you are leaving for most of the day, throw an rper a pm to alert them you are leaving so they are not waiting and are free to interact with someone else. 2.) Do not godmod. If you are fighting someone and they throw a attack, don’t aways have the powers of superman to jump out of the way. Be respectful. 3.) If you are harmed, negotiate to what extent. Sometimes rpers want to go to the hospital. Some do not. If you are curious, throw a pm. If not, it’s up to rpers to decide their extent of damages. 4.) If you have a senshi attack, POST the details of the attack in a spoiler box so other rpers know.
Additional Notes: 1.) For DMC Allies: When Leto assembled her team, you can assume a DMC friend called you in for help or you simple saw a DMCer head out to the location and followed them. You can handwave who contacted you to come to the factory. 2.) For Opposition Members not wanting to fight: You tasks are set to cut open saw dust bags from the rafters to help coat the DMC with sawdust and make escape into mirrors harder. You are also free to jump down and help anyone in danger escape. Of course, you are free to do anything else and/or fight. Up to you. 3.) Disposibles, you can negotiate with rpers how you want to kick the bucket. Remember that if you are a disposable with magic, your powers are very generic in nature.

Sailor Canopus still knew so very little about this war and all of its history was lost to her. Which definitely wasn't a good thing! She had accompanied Prince Remarque when Princess Leto received Tantalus's message, and though she was hardly fit for combat, she followed at them, perhaps hoping to offer some guidance, as meager as they may be for the negotiations. When she arrived, she had a sense of dread, but she didn't question the royalty she stood behind- they were both strong, wise, and she knew they'd do whatever was in their power to save Damocles.
She was just too confused. She knew that they were no longer allies with the Negaverse, but why would they do this? To not only Damocles, but their own senshi? Canopus' mind was swirling with thoughts and questions, but no answers. Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong!
Then the ringleader, who looked so tense, so fierce, so consumed with a sense of longing that she couldn't even begin to understand, gave a whistle, and the shout from the man with the cat-mask was unnecessary, as sudden movement from above was a clear indication of what they had just walked in on.
It had taken all of Europa's self-control not to jump the gun. Talking big game was nothing compared to actually seeing Leto again and remembering all of the pain the dark mirror senshi had caused her family, and from the instant their target had set foot in the warehouse, she'd wanted to take the leap. Forget patience - Europa wanted to land a flying leap right into Leto's nose and then crush out her eyes with her thumbs.
Unfortunately, that would be completely counter-intuitive to the plan. So she waited, until Wolframite finished his boast, until Buddingtonite yelled - surprise! She wished she were closer, that she could see the looks on their faces when they could see that they'd been caught in a trap. But soon enough, she'd be down in the thick of it, so she'd live with her disappointment. (It was mild.)
At the signal, she shouted, "Go! Go! Go!" to the senshi and negaverse officers crouched around her, urging everyone to their positions - some to the factory floor, some to the sandbags in the rafters - and then she leapt herself, landing in a crouch and jumping quickly to her feet.
Leto was a long way away from the senshi of the deep. Europa swore mildly under her breath. "I'll get to you," she said, looking around, trying to get a sense of where everyone had wound up in the rush of bodies and action. It had been a long time since she'd been in such a big fight - but she was ready.

[ Enter - Andronicus, Page of Uranus ]
Andronicus found herself out doing 'patrols' which really meant she was looking for youma or wraiths to practice fighting against. None of this 'fighting against the Negaverse' stuff. To be fair, she'd had the unique luck of never running into anyone beyond Loke (who she honestly didn't really associate with the Negaverse) so her 'patrols' were sort of lame. Not that she didn't feel the energy signatures, she did, she just chose to ignore them.
Besides, the youma and wraiths seemed to do more damage than the powered people anyway.
It was hard to ignore the giant pulsating hole of energy signatures though, that came from an abandoned factory. Of course, her curiousity got the better of her and she wandered over there.
She missed the giant trap attack, though noticed a whole lot of people like Loke. And then the actual Negaverse. And her side Senshi. She stared at the group for a moment going "da eff is this." Because this was clearly a good idea.
Andronicus inched over to the DMC and sort of swung her mace in a peaceful "hi" gesture.
"You uh, seem to be in a pickle here..." Did she realize she was talking to a Princess of the DMC? Nope. Not at all. "I'll uh... try to help beat them back?"

Tantalus felt his heart stop for a moment when suddenly, there were way too many energy signatures - of course it was a goddamn ambush, of course there were people waiting in the rafters. It would have been wise to scout more carefully, but it was too late. And besides, that made getting to Damocles even more imperative. In the chaos of a huge battle, it would be too easy for someone to slit his throat or pop his starseed. And so while it probably wasn't wise, as soon as he could gather himself up to think Tantalus was breaking from the rest of the ranks and running for his boyfriend.
Penthesilea found herself vibrating in place, eager to drop down and begin the fight. There were plenty of Dark Mirrors to pick from, and it was they who would get the brunt of her wrath. So once the signal was given, the red-haired Senshi of War launched herself out of the rafters and onto the ground, with a loud yell that was very reminiscent of Xena: Warrior Princess because how often did one actually get to let loose an Amazonian battle cry?
Amytis had come for loyalty to Court and to friends. She had been patrolling when Leto's call had come in, and no sooner had she gotten that the Court member in trouble was Damocles than she was darting for the nearest mirror and practically throwing herself through. There was no way she was letting him be in danger, especially not after all he had done for her. To think that the Negaverse had done this - had taken one of their own hostage - well. It just reaffirmed her growing distrust in anyone who wasn't of the Court.
So when the simple rescue mission became an ambush, the Senshi of Karma was well and prepared to fight.
Persephone had felt the gathering of Dark Mirror auras, and ever curious, had deviated from her patrol route. She had friends in the Dark Mirror, after all, and it would be good to see Leto again - and of course she simply had to follow when they had ducked into a warehouse. So many, and led by two Eternals -- it would have to be something interesting, and clearly not too secret, since it was being conducted on this plane and not in their special hideout in Mirrorspace.
What she had seen when she stepped inside made her blood run cold, first, and then hot. Negaversers going against orders, violating what fringes of an alliance remained? Never mind that it was Lellouch and Damocles being threatened - and their last encounter aside, she did still care for the blonde corrupt.
Persephone had never expected she would be fighting her own Negaverse allies, her family, but this was treason. So the Corrupted Senshi of Pomegranates considered her choices - there were certainly plenty of people to engage with.
It had been personal contact that brought General Natron to this little party. Specifically, a personal phone call from Alistair, who had coldly informed him of the situation. Lance was family - and maybe he had hoped that it wasn't true, that it wasn't his peers holding someone who he considered a brother hostage.
It was, and it seemed they had friends - lots of friends.
"Well." The General said to himself, exhaling. "This will be fun."
Europa couldn't have been the only one to see the red-clad DMC senshi make a break for their hostage, but she was the person nearest to him, in the best position to move for an intercept. Getting him out of the way now would make getting to Leto later easier, she thought, darting into action. She was eternal, he was just basic - this should be one and done.
"NOPE!" she shouted, running at him with her shoulder lowered like a battering ram. Would she kill him, if this landed well?
Well, she hadn't decided that yet.
(At the back of her mind, she heard Gunn urge, Bleed him dry.)
