BAM!
For the second time in five minutes, Sailor Phact became a white blur than stopped only when she smashed into the side of the building wall. Sliding down the small indent she made, the senshi of doves laid breathing hard in a crumbled mess on the pavement. She could feel a small trail of blood coming from her mouth as her body shook. She hurt all over.
But her eyes did not snap open until she felt something cast a large shadow over her form. Red orbs gazed up at the wall before her. More like elephant on two legs before her. This thing had come from nowhere and seemed to almost be able to disappear into the walls around them. However, now it stood over the woman in white.
What could have been mistaken for a smile passed over its face as it reached down and picked up Phact by the collar. Holding her at arm’s length, Phact felt it squeeze around her neck before throwing her like a rag doll down the street. Her body slid until it was stopped by a trash can. Well, what was once a trash can and now was bent metal.
”b*****d.” She snapped, reaching back for the broken metal lid. With what force she had left, she worked to pull it free. If she could, she could make use of it. This cement elephant man was not taking her down.

 The Eternal Senshi of Danger was perched on a high roof, looking down over the city. Well, not really over the city, so much, as over the battle going on below him. He was impressed by the size and tenacity of the youma she was fighting, and he was wondering when she would realize she was in over her head.
He wasn't going to hop down and bother joining the fight if she did not need him there, or if it wouldn't be fun to crash the party.
From what he could see, she was fighting hard, and was doing well enough considering she was fighting something akin the the Incredible Hulk.
He saw her struggling to get a weapon and saw an opening. She left herself vulnerable, and he was sure she needed his help now. She was going to get her a** killed if she gave that giant monster half a chance to attack her freely. He leaped from the roof and fell down to the street below, landing heavily on the monster's head. Usually that was enough to crush and destroy a youma if he aimed it well enough.
Not this thing. It was like landing on the floor. He bounced off of it and landed in front of Phact, looking over his shoulder and grinning at her broadly.
"You look like you could use a hand, eh?"

Just as she was about to yank the piece free, the sound of something smacking into concrete made her turn back. Another senshi had gone feet first into the creature that was targeting her.
As he bounced off and landed in front of her, Phact realized she knew this senshi. This was the man who had 'saved' her from the first youma to ever attack her and then nearly crushed her with a light poll. His appearance brought in one reaction: dread.
"I got it." She mumbled in response as she used the broken can to get back to her legs before yanking the piece of metal free. She was a senshi. He was an eternal. Of course his help could have been useful. But that would be admitting that she was still as weak as she was all that time ago.
Pushing past him a bit, Phact's slight increase in anger was starting to cloud her judgement as she ran forward. Leaping into the air just feet before the Elephant Hulk that charged at her, Phact took a swing to its head.
When she managed to land behind it, the damage was easy to see. Her 'weapon' was just bent in a strange angle and the youma stood glazing between the two trying to decide which to attack first: the one who stepped on it or the one who decided to try and blacksmith on it.

"Yeah, no, I can see how you have things taken care of from down there on the floor. Is the blood to scare the youma or are you going to use that in some bigger plan, too?"
Chaonis grinned at her, always confident and abrasive in his efforts to 'help'. He was probably one of the worst kinds of people, who knew how strong they were and delighted in things like this. He much preferred being the savior rather than the one needing the help, and he had been in that latter role far too often recently for his taste.
Ever since nearly dying to that Nega b*****d, Chaonis was on his toes and pushing himself harder than ever. He targeted Chaos and he wanted to make sure they knew that he was not going to go down without a fight. His dad might have been the one to suddenly power up, but Chaonis was making himself stronger in his own way. He would never let a Nega, not even a General King, get the better of him again.
By extension, he would protect his friends and allies in the same way. Except he would be the most annoying person in the world about it.
"Hey," he grumbled when she moved by him, but he didn't go to stop her. Instead, he folded his arms over his chest and shook his head. She was just like him, in some ways. He stepped back, in fact, watching her daringly. He waited for the echo of the attack to stop ringing through the air before he grinned and spoke.
"Alright, I'm waiting for you to handle this."

For the time, Phact was pushing the thoughts of the other senshi out of her mind. He was there, he was watching, he was...
As annoying as ever.
Two seconds after he had called out about her handling it, the bent medal bar went soaring over the head of 'Hulk' and in the direction of the Eternal Senshi. On her side, Phact was fuming. As she inhaled deeply and exhaled quickly. "And you could do better?" She screamed back at him, her voice reaching a level of annoyance.
Just because he was a high rank than her did not mean he had to be a jerk. She was trying her hardest to do this. Even if she stayed away from most battles against other factions, Phact would still do her best to protect the city from these creatures. Letting this one get the better of her was out of the question.
Especially in front of him.
When the beast decided she looked easier than the other, Phact moved again. Her speed was slowly with some of the bruising but she was not losing her footing. He was big and quick. Not a good combo. Running through options, Phact hated to admit that she was not coming up with anything quick. If only she had glass or something sharp to try and stab it over and over again?
Lithiasaur And suddenly Kick a** 2 came into mind...

Chaonis caught the metal as it came hurtling at him, laughing at her effort. She was trying to attack him, when she had a giant youma issue to address? He had to admit, he liked her gusto, and that only meant he was going to annoy her more. That was how he showed someone he liked them.
Annoy the s**t out of them.
"I would probably already be done with this thing by now!" He yelled back, tossing the metal aside and shaking his hands. That had actually rather hurt to catch, though he put his hands on his hips and stood proudly, pretending he was not fussed in the slightest by her efforts. He grinned at her again, watching how mad she was getting.
Mad was good as much as it was dangerous. She could fight much better now that she was mad, but her judgement would be off. He felt that just made fighting better, but he was the kind of guy that needed to enjoy himself when he was brawling. It was human nature to fight, and it was human nature to get angry about s**t. Why not combine the two, and see what happened? It was an honest show of strength, raw and uninhibited. People needed to trust their anger more often.
Or something. Chaonis stopped listening to his own thoughts at some point, and was busy watching Phact as she struggled to keep away from the Youma. He clenched his fists and readied himself to charge in and help her. He did so moments later, running and leaping onto the big youma's back.
"Alright, enough playing around. Dust this thing!"

Phact only stopped running as soon as she realized the distance between herself and the youma was growing. Her eyes turned back to it. What part of 'she got this' did he not understand?
"No. I'd rather dance with it." Phact shot out in annoyance as her eyes took in the senshi on its back. Well now she knew what she looked like that day on the back of the spider.
Hysterical.
"Well, if you instead on doing it yourself, why don't you dust?" Phact shot back as she glared darkly at it. What did he think she had been doing all this time? Getting off on getting beat up? No that was not her style. She liked her skin one color and that wasn't purple.
Still, in her annoyance, Phact noticed something off to her side. The light pole.
Rolling her eyes at the personal irony, Phact knew her body couldn't bring it down herself but that thing could. Smiling, she stood in front of it. "Hey tall dark and ugly. Why waste your time on him." She called throwing some of the loose concrete towards it to draw its attention back on her. It didn't matter if Chaonis got hit as well.
When the 'hulk' started to run back at her in annoyance, Phact waited. Waited, and just a split second later, she jumped upward just as it hit metal and wires breaking the pole in half.

"You want me to dust it? You better find yourself some place solid to hide, then."
Chaonis was not sure when the last time he really let go was. He tended not to use his powers, because they were dangerous to everyone around him, and not just the youma or Nega he was trying to fight. Civilians and other Senshi, too. He had learned the hard way, mostly by bringing down buildings on his friends, not to let his confidence override his judgement. At least, on this one thing.
He pushed his feet down and leaped off the youma with as much foot as he could, flipping and landing heavily on his feet. It looked as cool as he wanted it to, grinning ear to ear as he landed. He was feeling pretty great about himself. He let her talk to it, presumably to have her dance, but it was actually helping him. He grinned at her plan, catching on quickly enough, and charged after her as she brought the pole down on top of the youma. Chaonis hauled his fist backwards, opting to add to the damage of the pole falling with some old fashioned brute force on top.
Team work! Kind of!

"I...was...being Sarcastic!" Phact shot back as she watched the light poll snap from the force of the 'hulk' and his fist. Wires shot out of the broken metal, snapping as they forced pulled on them. The top came down atop the creature, bending in all directions as the light itself shattered. The force from impact and the hit dropped the creature to the ground.
"Not so amusing when you are the one hitting something." Phact spoke as she walked forward. Kneeling down where the lamp broke, she picked up a large shard of glass. "Are you going to use it as a punching bag?" She called out towards the eternal before running forward and stabbing the shard into the creature's back. "Because I can leave it for you." She glanced up at him before slamming the glass hard into it.
A moment later, it disappeared.

Sarcastic?
Chaonis was pretty sure only he was the only one who really knew how to use Sarcasm, right? He had certainly cornered the market on it, in his mind, and he felt he was rather good at it. He laughed, despite himself, shaking his head at her. If the youma wasn't there, this would have been a pretty fun sparring opportunity, and that was generally how Chaonis made 'friends'.
Though he was incredibly frustrating and mocking, he appreciated and valued strength. He liked senshi who could hold their own, and protected those that couldn't. Sure, he teased and could be reckless, but he still did his best for his team, and for Order.
He watched her dust the thing and grinned, shaking his head as he walked up to her.
"Not bad for a newbie," he said, folding his arms over his chest. "Oh wait, are you not a newbie? Well, whatever. At least the thing is dusted and you survived. You're welcome."

A moment past where Phact said or did nothing. She just stood there, staring at the spot where the youma had been. In her hand, she still held the piece of glass. In a way, she was doing her best to recompose herself.
And then he spoke.
Snapping back quickly, Phact, even with blood on her face and sweat sicking her hair to her forehead, eyed Chaonis with darkness in her eyes. "I'm welcome The female voice was low and even. "I don't recall ever asking you for help. Let alone, saying a word of thanks." Her arm threw up, forgetting the glass was in her hand. "I might be a lower level than you but this is not my first battle. I have been on the streets awhile...."
She glared at him before closing the distance even more. "Some of us just don't have the physical ability to beat things to a pulp and have to use our brains!"

Chaonis watched her with wide eyes, though he was not surprised or upset by her outburst. More amused than anything else, holding his hands up and laughing as she unloaded on him. Someone was awfully pent up, it seemed, and he had arrived at just the right time to let her vent all her anger and frustration. Clearly he was just doing another favor for her, being that guy to take the brunt of her rage.
Obviously he had nothing to do with causing it.
"Well, your brains weren't getting you through that fight until I showed up and made you think harder, were they? You might not like the way we did it, but we killed that thing together, and now you'll be fine. And not dead or turned into one of those things. So, while I'm sure it's really refreshing for you to yell at me, the fact remains that I helped you."
He grinned at her, tilting his head to the side and turning on the charm, as much as he was able to, considering his personality type.
"Anyway, you didn't think that fight turned out awesome? Much better than you getting your face bashed in, right? Just take the assist: that's what we're supposed to be doing out here, anyway. Helping each other and all that good guy garbage."

"YOU..." Phact started to scream in his face. All she got out was that word before she quickly turned on her heels released a groan that almost could have been mistake for a growl. Oh yes, he was frustrating her and even more so because now he dared turn on the charm. She knew this type of person and there was no winning with them. In his mind, he was the hero.
And that infuriated her.
"And the fact remains I did not ask for your help.' Phact shot back as she turned her head to look over her left shoulder at him. "And don't give me that 'what we are supposed to be doing'"That line made her snap. He had been a senshi long enough to see there were very few, if any means to support and organize them. "I have yet to meet a single senshi who knows 'what we are supposed to be doing'. All we appear to be doing is running damage control."

Chaonis watched her and could see the anger all but boiling off of her as she growled and paced. He grinned, but he would never tell her that he had only jumped in because he did not want to see her get hurt. It was easier when things went this way, with people angry at him. Emotions got him into trouble, and friends got hurt. He'd keep them close in his own way, if he could.
Whether they were ever aware of it or not.
"Then we're supposed to be damage control. What does it matter if no one comes out and tells us what we're doing? We were given super powers. So use them to do what you think you're supposed to be doing. It doesn't have to be any more complicated than that, does it? I like the job. I protect people, I get a boost of power and speed, and I get whatever I want done."
He shook his head and shrugged.
"Look, I'm sorry if you're mad that I helped but I'd do it again if you were in trouble again, because I prefer to see us senshi survive and able to fight again tomorrow. Yeah, I know I'm not the most polite about it, but this isn't a tea party. This is a war. You can't get your feelings hurt every time something goes bad."

Her mouth opened to snap back but quickly shut again when Chaonis continued. Yes she was still made and it showed deeply in and around her eyes, not to mention the line she had for a lip right now but something he said made her shut up for a moment. He would do it again to see the senshi survive.
"How many of us have we lost?" It was a question asked with as little emotion as possible though it had an impact. She knew death was possible but to hear an eternal say that, an eternal that was already there before she was even a senshi, hit her core.
