They were going over energy draining for the upteenth time. Azurite knew that her husband had this down. But she decided to humor him for the sake of spending some time together. "Relax..." She breathed against his back, noticing the slight tension it. "It comes easier if you aren't nervous.." The white haired corrupt knew the real reason for this though... Her husband didn't need to voice his concerns for her to know. After the accident, Kor wanted to make sure he had it all down. Backwards and forwards. Six ways from Sunday.
"Slowly..." It would be easier on him. Azo may or may not have had the patience for slow at the moment, but it was imperative that he did not ware himself out as they went over things again.
As she slid a hand over his uniform clad stomach, partially wrapping her sheer overlay around him in the process, she finally felt the muscles in his shoulder's roll and begin to ease up. "Good... You've got this my love." The eternal stretched on to tiptoes and placed a kiss against his shoulder. "Beautiful job, as always. I knew you could do it."

Azoproite, he was still getting used to that, took a deep breath as he slowly did like he was taught, draining the energy slowly, not wanting to take it in a sudden wave. That would surely draw some unwanted attention. Even if Azurite was here, he didn't want to risk it. He was thorough if nothing else and slowly, one muscle at a time, he started to relax.
He was thankful he was wearing gloves right now that hid the ugliness of his hand. He hated looking at it, hated that Azurite had to look at it. "Never going to get used to this, am I?" He murmured, looking behind him, eyes shining lightly. This wasn't ever going to be normal for him. Yet here he was, draining energy with the mother of his children and it didn't feel wrong.
-----
Somewhere out there she could feel energy dropping. It clung at her heart. Kepler was not the rookie senshi she had been before. Despite mainly working to get people to Ida and the hospital, she couldn't just stop patrolling. She knew she was outmatched, out numbered, and alone when she did this. It was in her nature to patrol. She did it at home, protecting her siblings, did it at her old job.. Or rather, had done it. Come to find out working for the museum was difficult when she was practically being run out of town.
The White Moon senshi headed to where she felt the energy draining closest and shuddered. Two nega signatures. It shouldn't be too big of a problem. One felt equal to hers and the other felt weaker. So, maybe she stood a chance.
"You'll get it." She said as she began to rub small circles into his lower back with her free hand while the other remained locked around his waist. "It will become second nature before long. And soon enough you won't even realize you're doing it it will come that easy. Just like anything else you do." Azurite smiled brightly at him when he turned to look at her. "I have every faith in you Sweetheart.
When she felt the Order signature on her senses Azurite cursed lightly, resting her head on Azoproite's back for a moment. Alright.. No more fooling around. The white haired eternal's hands dropped from her husband's person as she turned around to stand at his back. "Pay attention to your surroundings.." She murmured lightly. "There's no point in hiding. I know you're there."

As soon as those hands dropped from him, he dropped his own and looked around. He'd felt that signature too. His brows knit as his hand ached because he remembered his last encounter. Slowly, he rubbed the spot where his scars were, sighing a the feeling of missing fingers before tensing up. All he had was a sewing needle and his skills as a street fighter. Hopefully that would get him through this. The taller man stepped in front of his wife and held out an arm to stop her from going forward, green eyes glancing this way and that. He couldn't pin point it...
----
Kepler cursed under her breath as the Corrupted senshi she spotted called her out. The lilac eyed senshi stealed her nerves before moving out where they could see her, tense and ready for a fight, even if this wasn't going to end in her favor.
"Stop what you're doing. And before you speak, you better chose your words carefully! Sailor Kepler, Senshi of Words will stop you mid sentence so I hope you're ready for a difficult fight!" These things just came naturally to her, bad puns and all.
"You're fine.." She murmured quietly, knowing what was running through his head. "It's not going to happen again." She blinked almost stupidly at his outstretched arm before fixing him with a dead pan stare. "Oh you have got to be..." A quiet sigh escaped her then. "Are you serious right now?" It shouldn't have surprised her though. He'd done this a number of times. And to his credit... He was doing what he had vowed to do 4 years ago.
To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.
"If that last part happens sooner rather then later, believe me I will not be happy with you." Her little way of saying 'I love you too.' Azurite rolled her eyes. "I have some words alright..." None of them grade school appropriate though. Again she sighed, running a hand up to brush her bang out of her face. "Isn't a little foolish to be out here all by yourself Kepler? Even at an equal rank as me, you're still out matched. So why don't you go home, and maybe you'll make it through another day."

Azoproite fixed his wife with a stare like 'I'm absolutely serious, shut up' and just looked at the Senshi who emerged and came up with a really, really stupid speech. He scoffed and tossed some dreads off his shoulder before putting his hands on his hips.
"Go back home to mommy," he murmured to her, the grin on his face made even more menacing by the piercings that seemed to grow in number over the years. He looked at Azurite with a chuckle before shrugging. Maybe he didn't need to protect her after all. This was literally a child compared to him. Hell, it felt almost like an insult how young she was.
---
"Excuse you, I'm not a teenager anymore." At a solid 21 she expected to be taken a bit more seriously. Kepler readied her stance for fighting and growled in an annoyed way. Who did these two think they were? Since her magic was more of a protection to herself, she would save it right now. Instead, she rushed. Innocent people were counting on her to save their lives, if they liked it or not.
"I won't let you eat their seeds, you Negaverse vampire b***h!"
---
"That's my wife you're talking about!" Instead of letting Kepler charge his wife, he started in at the senshi, landing a punch directly on her cheek, sending her flying backwards before he popped his knuckles. He couldn't help but get riled up when someone insulted Azurite when he was around. Screw that.
Az shot him a look that said 'Make me' grinned devilishly at him. They both knew he couldn't. ...There might be a few other people who knew too. ..Maybe they should consider sound proofing the house...
Azurite blinked widely at her newest 'name'. "Vampire b***h? That's the best you can come up wi- Hey!" She yelled when Azoproite shot off and punched the senshi in the face. "Azo!" The senshi snapped. "She's taunting you. Watch yourself. You don't know what she's got planned." This was gonna be a very long fight... She could feel it immediately.
"I wasn't popping starseeds. But thank you for reminding me. Now I know for next time.." She murmured as she closed the distance. "Though, maybe we should start with yours? I can't think of the right words to describe what it feels like. So I'd love to hear what you come up with.. How bout it? Hmm?"

Kepler flopped onto the ground and rolled a little with the force of the punch, already a trickle of blood falling from the corner of her lips, making her whimper as she got up and patted her cheek. That was... going to leave a bruise, that was for sure. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, she realized she'd bitten down on her cheek and that's where the blood was coming from.
Standing up, she looked at the pair and steadied herself again. His wife? So evil bastards could love too. She shouldn't be surprised. Kepler read books. She knew, but it was still weird. "Ha. You're so easy to tease." Then the woman spoke and her eyes narrowed a bit.
"I bet I can win."
---
Soundproofing would be good, considering more than one of the kids had come up to him asking why he was 'hurting' Mommy. He hated explaining or just rushing off to work, leaving Mommy to explain to the kids what was happening.
Azoproite grunted a little more when Kepler stood up and then looked to Azurite with a sigh. "Come on, Azurite, I couldn't let her get away with that! You know how I get." He huffed and just flicked his bangs out of his face a bit before clicking his tongue. He stepped back for her to take a swing at the Senshi, patting her back as he did.
This girl was now going to spend the whole fight taunting him... Great. Azurite sighed quietly. She really needed to work on that.. It was cute, but she knew it would get him in trouble someday. "I know Baby, I know. But I've heard worse." Way worse. "As far as insults go, that was pretty tame." On the upside though, if Kepler was focused on Azoproite... then that meant she wasn't paying attention to her. And that's where it got dangerous.
"Oh sweetheart..." Laine cooed as she stepped closer to the young woman. "Those were the wrong words.. I'll take your breathe away just by snapping my fingers.."

"I'd like to see you try!" With that, Kepler rushed Azurite similar to how she rushed before, only this time Azoproite didn't swing at her. She didn't know where the lieutenant was, but she was focused on the corrupted Senshi right now as it was clear to Kepler that she was the puppeteer. If she could just beat the senshi, maybe the lieutenant would run away.
Or something. She didn't know how a two against one battle worked, okay? Usually she had someone fighting along side of her.
--
Azoproite stayed back, grinning to himself as he let his wife handle this. Words against Thermosphere. Seriously there was only one way this would end up, and he expected it to be a short battle. He did, however, watch to make sure that Azurite wouldn't get seriously injured during this battle. Azo could, and would double team the young senshi if it looked dire.
Azurite giggled when the senshi rushed at her. Did they never learn? It may have come as a surprise to both Azoproite and Kepler when Azurite didn't move. In fact the eternal, practically welcomed her with open arms. The pair hit the ground with a solid thud in a mass of tangled limbs. "You really should have listened sweetheart. To the warning and the scolding. Azurite grabbed the younger senshi and rolled, pinning her to the ground. "I did just say rushing in like that was a bad idea didn't I?" She pushed herself up on her hands and knees, one hand moving to grab the senshi's chin. "You never know what the other person has planned. And that can prove to be very dangerous." Then suddenly she pushed herself up and took a few sets away. "You wanted to see me try right? Well... Watch me." Azurite snapped her fingers.
"Azurite Sphere Ripple"
"Eternal Sailor Attack: Azurite Sphere Ripple! -- Ultimate! The ultimate form of her attack. The sphere is almost unnoticeable save one or two ripples as the duration remains thirty seconds long and extends to twenty feet around her target. The air heats to almost unbearable temperatures and makes the air thin almost immediately.
Affects of thin air on the body: Headache is just the start. Symptoms of acute mountain sickness, or AMS, the most common mountain malady experienced above 9,000 feet, include nausea, dizziness and extreme fatigue. Sufferers also vomit, cough or have difficulty sleeping. AMS feels like the flu, seasickness or a bad hangover.
All of a sudden, Kepler was pinned. She was confused, pinned under the corrupt senshi and actually afraid. It wasn't hard to scare her, considering Kepler was mainly a defense for senshi. Then, as suddenly as she was pinned, Azurite moved away and Kepler could scramble to her feet quickly, whimpering loudly as she did.
As Azurite started talking and the air changed to super charged tension, Kepler let out a little squeak and stopped. She got into her position to cast her own magic, one of her arms outstretched above her head, legs parted lightly. "Perdite!" She cried. All of a sudden, a bubble of words formed around her, spinning quickly to negate Azurite's attack. It wasn't going to last long, but it was enough for her to run backwards without worrying about getting hurt.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Perdite! Distraction!
In which she creates a small shield around one person, be it an ally, herself or an opponent. It negates all attacks for a total of 20 seconds! This can be for multiple attacks at the same time. Can be used twice per battle!
However, if cast upon Chaos, inside the shield the opponent would be stuck with confusion from the text. If it's an ally, they would get a few extra seconds to plan an attack or get away, while the enemy on the outside are confused.
----
Azoproite blinked at the Senshi's attack, curious about it. It wans't really an attack, it was a shield. A powerful shield it seemed like. Azoproite jumped to is wife's side and got into his stance, eyes serious.
"Are you kidding me? That's cheating!" Shields seemed like a cheap move to him! Mainly because all he had was a sewing needle.
...Well that was unexpected. "Interesting..." Azurite mused as she watched the senshi run back. "I told you. You should have listened." Perhaps she should be chasing the other down. She held up a hand, stopping her husband. "Relax... It won't be the last time that happens. To me or you. That's magic for you..." She turned, giving him a smile. "As a senshi, we're full of ridiculous bullshit like that. It comes in handy at times like this, but it has it's drawbacks." She then gestured to his sewing. "You for example, you've got your weapon the whole time. And are able to call it back to you. My magic only works for so long and most senshi have a limited number of duration they can use it for."
"So it's your call." Azurite said as she began straightening random bits of his uniform. "You can chase her down for a name that, you know full well, isn't too far from the truth, or we ignore her this time and get back to what we were doing. Keep in mind at least one of us hasta get home and relive the babysitter."

Despite casting the barrier on herself, it popped soon enough and the symptoms of the Corrupt Senshi's magic started taking effect. She was getting a headache and having trouble breathing. Taking several deep breaths, Kepler had to actually drop to her hands and knees because dizziness set in and she knew she couldn't walk straight right now. It was hot. It was so hot and she didn't like it at all. Luckily this wouldn't last long, but long enough for her to feel like it was lasting an eternity.
Kepler brought a hand to her throat as she started coughing hard, trying not to vomit like her stomach wanted her to. No she had to fight. She had to...
"S-screw you.."
The magic died down and the air cooled down, letting her breath easier, gasping hard, still coughing. The effects were still there. God damn it. Getting back to her feet, shakily, slowly, Kepler looked at the pair and swallowed. She had no chance at all. Maybe she could buy a few minutes to run away if she... "Perdite!"
Once more she cast her magic, but cast it on the male Negaverse lieutenant now.
---
A ball of words formed around Kor and he squinted, not even able to react to his wife's words because he was trying to figure out if the text said anything. His face turned to confusion and he looked around like he didn't remember how he got there.
"What...?" He tried to bat the words out of his face and yet he couldn't. It was there.
---
Meanwhile Kepler just took off. Two against one wasn't a fair fight and she didn't want to die tonight.
"Hmmm He might get mad.." Azurite said, glancing at Azoproite only to jump back when the wall of words appeared. "What did you do." She hissed, rounding on the other woman. The white haired girl snarled when she saw the senshi running. "God damn it." The white haired eternal ran an irritated hand through her hair, disrupting the golden headband that kept the dreds out of her face. Should have just killed her. That was a rather stupid mistake on her part. But that's what she got for showing a small does of kindness to these pests.
She waited till the magic passed, an agitated scowl on her face with her arms crossed. "Like I said. Ridiculous bullshit. You have the better deal in this. Whether you chose to believe that or not is your own business."
