This was it. Months of planning, months of meeting with Eternal Sailor Kallichore behind the Negaverse' back, months of confiding with the enemy instead of fighting them, all would boil down to this night. Eternal Sailor Vespa could no longer be a puppet of the Negaverse and felt he had made the right decision to switch over, and if he had any doubts, they were gone a week ago when he made his fateful encounter with Iris, a Princess in disguise of an Eternal, and the Guardian Cat *********. Everything was planned, perhaps not quite as meticulously as a bride to be had planned their wedding day, but things were set in stone.
Perhaps that was the wrong phrase to use. Instead of stone, turned out it was more like clay... soft, mushy and completely and utterly malleable clay, as things did not quite go to plan. Oh, he had managed to get his duckies lined up with his family, and had been attempting to do the same with his girlfriend, but that was when everything changed. It was all too much for him to remember, despite it happening literally minutes ago! Mica had attached Penelope, she fought herself free and then he attacked Mica... now, with Eternal Sailor Pasiphae at his side, he was running towards the park.
It was early. Too early. He was set to meet with Princess Iris at ten! Would she be there? He hoped so, but the moment the two of them entered the park grounds, he could not ignore the gut wrenching feeling, the cold spike of two general auras that greeted them. Mica had already called for back up! He wasn't the only Chaos aura in the park, and now another aura was closing in from behind!
"s**t..."
--------
General Mica wasn't sure how much time had passed when she could feel her limbs again, but the moment she could stand up without the support of her spear, she was making her way to the park. She could have teleported there and cut the couple off, but she chose to conserve her strength and after the blow to the head, she didn't want to risk teleporting herself inside of a wall or a tree. No, she wanted to be in the best shape possible the moment she found Vespa and Pasiphae, because both of them were going to pay for this...
She grabbed her crystal and began to speak, not once realizing that someone was trying to contact her as well. Whoever it was, they could wait until she made her announcement- it was far more important than whatever the other officer had to tell her, she told herself.
"Calling all Negaverse officers and senshi! This is General Mica speaking- I need all available officers at the park. Immediately. Sailor Vespa is a traitor and is making his way to the city park! Be warned, he likely has allies and there may be a princess there- stop him at all costs! Either drag him back or kill him- DO NOT LET HIM ESCAPE!"
The voice that suddenly chimed from her crystal made her eyes roll, but she fought the urge to silence him, especially when he spoke. "Buddy here, I'm guessing you saw the video too? Don't worry- Serpentine and I are already there, locked and loaded to bring this little turncoat to justice."
Mica slowed in her run but only for a moment. What video? It didn't matter to her! She had to make it to the park... like hell she'd allow the traitor and his toxic weed of a girlfriend escape her wrath this evening!
-------
Today just seemed like any other day for General Buddingtonite, but that was the kind of thought that usually meant that everything would be changing for either better or worse. He was moments away from planning his reopening when he decided to once again put it off by farting around on Youtube. And what luck he had, catching the title on the recent uploads and immediately clicking on the video in question.
The quality was s**t, but its content and message was clear, and though he knew Daran would likely strangle him in the morning when he saw that his brother had, once again, abandoned his duties at the Sugar Shanty, he was willing to take that risk. They had a turncoat in their midst, and even the fun loving rose-clad general was quick to respond. He had heard Mica's orders over the crystal, though by then he and his partner were already in the park, weapons drawn and merely waiting for the feel of a chaotic senshi aura to hit their senses.
He wasn't sure what to make of Mica's silence, but he assumed that she was more pleased that they had mobilized to say anything. Typical Mica behavior. He looked to his partner, flashing him a rather smug grin, just as he felt a Chaos aura and a strong Order one right behind it. "Well, I don't know about you, but I never really liked that Wasp senshi. He was always so twitchy and that mustache was downright ridiculous. What you think's more likely... his death this evening, or us dragging him back kicking and screaming?"
Nevertheless, he summoned his boomerang and stood his ground, hearing approaching footsteps and ready to throw the weapon the moment they were close enough. Tonight would definitely be an interesting night!
The time has finally come. The time has come for Eternal Sailor Vespa, Corrupted Senshi of Wasps, to free himself from the toxic clutches of the Negaverse. After several months of careful planning, he has finally decided to take his freedom and the date’s been determined. August 27th. On this day, he will say his final goodbyes to his family and girlfriend, and make the journey to the park, where he will meet up with Princess Iris and ********* and at 10 pm, he will be embracing his new life as part of the White Moon. It seems like such a simple plan. How could it possibly go wrong?
Except it does. It goes horribly wrong. Somehow, the information of Vespa’s side swap got leaked online briefly before it was removed by Youtube administrators, and General Mica’s taken it upon herself to hunt the traitor down and make an example of him. She’s calling for her fellow Negaverse officers to aid her in the hunt and reach the park before he has the chance to reach Princess Iris, before he has the chance to leak vital information to the White Moon. This is a call to arms that cannot be ignored, and now Sailor Vespa is on the run. It’s a mad dash to the park, for salvation, but he’s not alone.
Eternal Sailor Pasiphae is with him, and she’s calling to everyone she knows for help. She, along with Eternal Sailor Kallichore and others, have been assisting Vespa all along, but they can’t do it alone. They need to safeguard Vespa, or any who wish to leave the darkness behind and embrace the light! For each soul saved, the Negaverse grows weaker, so you cannot afford to lose a single soul. Help Vespa escape the Negaverse! Let all those who hold the desire to free themselves from Metallia’s poisoning influence know that there is always a chance for redemption!
To the valiant Negaverse officers that have heeded Mica’s call, stop Vespa! Kill him, kill any who dare try to spread lies and weakness among your ranks! Queen Metallia does not tolerate failures or traitors! Perhaps there are those that feel Vespa can be won back, but to get him back, you must stop him from making a grave mistake! Stop Vespa, at any cost.
What will you do? Will you help Vespa escape? Or will you kill the traitor? You decide what to fight for! The choice is yours!
---
OOC: This is a battle ORP, in which you, the players, get to decide which side of the conflict your character is fighting for. There are three sides of this battle:
Side 1: Those that wish to assist Vespa in his escape. This can include not only Senshi (teens and Chibi), Guardian cats and Knights, but also can include Dark Mirror Senshi and Negaverse officers. However, be warned that if a Negaverse officer wishes to assist Vespa’s escape, there can be IC consequences for their actions. Either play it smart and not let others realize your true intentions, or plan for trouble later on. (You are welcomed to pursue this route after the event is over! Think of it as a plot bunny for later!)
Side 2: Those that wish to stop Vespa by whatever means necessary. This includes trapping him, dragging him back to the Negaverse, killing him, whichever means your character would want. Like Side 1, this isn’t just limited to the Negaverse. DMC and members of the White Moon can be on this side- what Vespa’s doing can be see as treachery and would anyone really want to trust a traitor, even if they’re trying to join the right side? Traitors cannot be trusted. What if it’s a clever ruse and Vespa’s luring others into a trap? Whatever your reasoning, he must be stopped!
Side 3: Innocent bystanders. Suppose you were unaware of the video leak and you’re just enjoying a day at the park? Suddenly there’s all this FIGHTING going on, and you have no idea what’s going on, but you don’t care. You want OUT of there. Try to escape this madness! Beg others around you for help if you have to, throw a rock or a stone or something! GO out the DO. This side exists for civilians or powered characters that don’t want to throw a fist at someone, and either Sides are welcomed to try and escort these people to safety (if, you know, fighting other people isn’t your thing but you’d like the chance to get a Battle Requirement out of this.)
Players are welcomed to join any of the three sides! I’m going to be opening a sign up, but this isn’t set in stone. You do not have to stay with the side you’re on, you can switch during the battle. I have this sign up as a reference for myself and other players for when the event starts so that there’s minimal confusion. If, ICly, you start on one side but can be convinced to join the other, you are welcomed to do so (simply state it by bolding the phrase ‘CHANGE PLACES’ at the top of your post).
DISCLAIMER: YOU MUST READ THIS BEFORE YOU SIGN UP.
There are two events that are set in stone for this event. (1) Vespa will succeed in purifying into the White Moon court (do not worry, ICly he does not have that much incriminating material on the Negaverse to cause a huge impact, despite what Mica fears), and (2) something tragic will be happening to General Mica, though exactly what, well, that’s left to be discovered. The first of these events cannot be changed, however, players who might wish to have a hand in Mica’s fate are welcomed to PM me and discuss any details they might want. I did not wish to imply that Vespa’s purification was somehow avoidable and while I understand how that might be discouraging for those wanting a Negaverse victory here, I’d still would like for those players to participate in some way and have fun with the event. Win or lose, I’d like for players to take something from this event (besides a Battle Requirement) to help them develop their characters further.

Eternal Sailor Pasphae was grateful that the city park was not all that far from the botantical gardens. Of course, it was hard to judge 'far' whenever one had the enhanced speed of a Senshi, but it did not feel far. Unfortunately, it was not far enough to escape the clutches of the Negaverse. She felt the two Chaos auras as much as her boyfrien did, the same toxic, tainted presence as his own. Mica would, undoubtedly, be behind them. No sign of a princess or any of their own friends or allies yet either. That left only one remaining option.
"We'll just have to hold out until she comes." Pasiphae spoke with a bit more confidence than she felt. Three generals, versus the two of them? With more on the way? It would be difficult and plainly impossible if help of their own didn't arrive. Nevertheless, she took up a defensive position. She didn't dare throw a shield around Vespa, not after doing so had led to him being stung by his own wasps in the past. If he didn't have a shield, then neither would she. Hand to hand combat would have to do unless her magic was absolutely necessary.
---
General Serpentine frowned, the expression making his face even more serious than usual. While he would never deny his hatred for Senshi, any Senshi, he had come to terms with the Corrupted who fought with them. Yes, they were merely tools, but they could be useful and were certainly better than belonging either to the double damned Dark Mirror Court or the White Moon. Buddingtonite's ribbing pricked his pride in a way. What little time Serpentine had spent with the Wasp Senshi had shown him to be appropriately submissive and repsectful to his betters. He was not, generaly, on the General's list of loathed individuals.
Yet, now he fled as a self-proclaimed traitor. Buddingtonite had described the video confession to him, as the florist did not spend as much time online as him. Any inkling of 'like' had withered in a moment, given the marks he and his partner bore. They had been searching for some time now, but the park ultimately ended up being their fertile hunting ground. Summoning the whip to his hand, he waited for either of the two approaching auras to come closer before striking. He did, however, answer his partner's question. "Death. He must be an example" His bandaged hand curled into a fist.
---
Horatiodashed across the pavement as quickly as her fluffy paws would allow. The park was, thankfully, not that far away from her humans' house, but getting out at this time of night was always tricky. The kids had provided the best avenue of escape by fighting about bedtime on a school night, and in the distraction the Mauvian slipped through a window she had finnangled open.
Getting to the park was the easy part. Navigating her way to the winner without getting swallowed up all the losers she felt? Much, much harder! She didn't have an ounce of fear in her tiny body, but she had no way of knowing exactly how to play this game. Her one attempt to save a loser had ended... well, poorly. An idea came to her as she saw the leaves dancing in the trees.
Shimmying up the thick trunk of an elderly tree, she hoped to spy a winner she knew to (a). jump down on because everyone like surprises and (b) get a general look at what the heck was going on! Okay, she kind of knew with the purification attempt part of Pasiphae's message, but in a more immediate sense of who was coming and what would be the best place for a spitfire Himalayan to jump into.

Sailor Chibi Massalia was wrapping up his nightly patrol and moving to pass his information to Pisces if only for ease and to familiarize himself with the other Senshi's aura. The park was a favored place to meet, switch information, and then move on for shrubs and hiding places, coupled with ease of powering down in hiding, and tonight was meant to be normal.
It wasn't. Massala was used to Auras by now and identified chaos for order well enough to pick up on 3 chaos orders in the park, much stronger than his -- and the boy froze, straightening to look. He almost didn't notice Pisces coming up to him, but based on the young senshi's expression, Pisces could guess, coupled with chaos auras she could almost smell after a minute, the Zodiac Senshi frowned and the younger senshi looked up. This was his only report and Pisces recognized it - as well as the determination to investigate and aid any order senshi promptly, the pair moving as Massalia pulled out his horribly underused phone, sending a text out.
"Pisces and Massalia in area of park. Picking up chaos auras. What's going on?"
And the message went out, Massalia pocketing his phone and moving to collect debris.
After a half-dead soccerball had been of use against Buddingtonite, Massalia took no chances. Pisces was of a similar thought, however, based on her distracted expression as she moved.
She was trying to thin k of something helpful to imagine, but what?
She'd get to that soon.
It was supposed to be a different shortvut.
Emily's father hated that she didn't like the bus or drive often but her new rig was so, so close to done, and Emily Wren Wily was clutching bag with a very nice computer case in it as she walked along rigidly, looking about idly. Shortcuts last time had meant running into a rather unfortuanate man she'd gladly fed, and tonight she didn't expect anything.
Mind, she never did, and in one RP session in an online chat this somehow ended in her becoming-- well, regardless, she should have known better, and the girl just wanted home.
Add case, build RIG, be glad she had no Friday classes while she cursed out her old machine a final time, wiped it, and threw it on Craigslist.
Still, there was noise, and Emily sighed.
Anyone who got between her, and her computer? Was going to hurt.
Badly.
Didn't matter, HER PRECIOUS.

Mintaka has just wanted to sit peacefully on her rooftop and enjoy her cup of tea. It /had/ been a quiet night, as she overlooked the park from her spot. It didn't usually frequent a lot of trouble, thus made her patrols and sitting for tea, quite enjoyable.
So when Chaos orders pinged up nearly surrounding the area, along with a ton of orders, she made a small distressed sound and gathering all her tea supplies to shove into a corner of the roof.
It felt like the Das event all over again.
She set a foot on the rooftop ledge, fingers flicking on the cellphone. Two short messages were sent out to two people she didn't want near the battle at all. Especially after the event that had BOTH of the DMC's she liked in trouble or pain. Once the text messages were sent, she breathed out. She didn't want to get caught up in a power struggle with Chaos and Order, but also didn't want to leave in case innocents were caught up in. Stupid morality and sense of justice.

Text to Chariklo: Something going down at the park, keep yourself out of trouble friend. (OOC: Hope you don't mind her just warning D: I know she's not here BUT JUST IN CASE)

Text to Canopus: Try to keep yourself out of the park tonight hun. Looks like somethings up. (OOC: SAME TO YOU)
Xenotime had, after receiving the transmission, left to head towards the park. News that someone among their ranks was a traitor should have been worrying news, but the girl had trouble merely accepting this fact, and preferred to see things for herself. No doubt there would be a clash, soldier against soldier, and the fighter did enjoy a good brawl, but just this once the captain was intending to linger on the sidelines and observe, unless something pressing prompted her to interfere.
Even the presence of other powered figures in the area wasn't enough to draw her out of the shadows she had settled in. Not terribly close, but enough that she could see the traitor in question.
That was it for now. She would wait, and she would watch.
Eternal Navi wasn't entirely sure why she had shown up. All things considered, she felt every bit as much a traitor as the corrupted that was seeking purification. Wasn't that was she was looking into? It was only information, for now, but even just that was enough to have the DMC avoiding the rest of her court.
As much as possible, of course.
Helping the senshi cross from chaos to ordered would place a target on her back, not just within her own court, but within the Negaverse as well. The alliance might have been fractured, but she had, for the most part, avoided any hostile run ins with the agents of the Negaverse.
Pavo had not been aware of the video or the ambush when she had powered up that evening and headed to the park for patrol. Something was going on, that much she could interpret from the sheer number and strength of the energy signatures that filled this one small part of the city.
Cautiously she headed towards them, one hand wrapped around the bells that hung from her opposite wrist. She couldn't silence every bit of chiming gold upon her person, but she could at least muffle the worst of it so as not to draw undue attention onto herself.
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2014 6:06 pm
Aludra was probably at the bottom end of the information line, but it has trickled down through messages that something important was happening. Someone was trying to do what was right, someone was trying to join the side of Order and they needed help. She might have been only thirteen, but Aludra knew she couldn't just leave it be and stay at home. She needed to help in whatever way she could. It was her duty as a Senshi.
Her heart was hammering in her chest when she arrived at the park. The red-hooded chibi made for a very small entrance, climbing immediately up into a tree to get a higher vantage point and partially hide amongst the foliage. She would wait here, provided nobody felt the need to attack her and look for the perfect moment to step in.

Captain Zippeite had to reroute his planned patrol when he got the call a traitor was making a run for it. He had rushed to the scene with surprising fervor, considering his recent activities and discussions.
Maybe he thought he could put his foot down here and solidify his rejection of purification.
Maybe he if he helped a traitor get beaten bloody it would scare him away from the line he was starting to toe.
Overcompensation at it's finest, the indigo haired captain had his weighted staff at the ready as he began running through the park towards amassing energy signatures.
Lieutenant Galena was less enthusiastic. She was already in the park when she sensed strange activity and had recoiled a bit to a standstill. A traitor sounded dangerous and she hadn't won a fight to date. She was violent, she wasn't a hunter, but she was being called. The entire predicament left the inexperienced lieutenant frozen as she fiddled with her gloves, furrowed brow indicative of the way her stomach was knotting.
Zirconia, or rather Zia powered up as a Mauvian since Zirconia's proper soul had been dormant for ages, was in her usual fishing post. The guardian regularly powered up to her cat eared humanoid form for the large aura of parallel energy, hoping to attract someone curious enough to investigate the alignment quirks and brazen invitation.
But there was activity that had nothing to do with the invitation. In fact, it seemed to be just ever so slightly away from her and the rising population in the park tonight got her attention. Lilac ears swiveled on her head as she tried to get some grip on what was happening. And then someone rushed past her in an attempt to get to the action, completely ignoring her. Which was a terrible mark on the Mauvian's pride
She hissed in the general direction the figure had departed in, and jumped to her bare feet to frantically look around. "What the <********> is going on?!"
They were ruining everything!
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2014 6:38 pm
Zircon was, admittedly, out of touch when it came to social media. She hardly kept up with her facebook, and twitter and youtube were educational tools more than sources of entertainment. However, she kept up with her communication crystal, and when a general said to mobilize, she mobilized, especially when the chance to punish a traitor was at hand. As astonishingly wonderful as her trip to Mars had been, the freshly minted Captain still had some internalized bitterness about those who chose to relinquish their bond to Chaos, and who better to take out her frustrations than on a senshi.
She teleported in on the North side of the park, struggling to keep her footing as she stumbled forward into the grass. The art of moving from one place to the other on her own will was still a new and foreign thing to her, and it left her exhausted even after the shortest of trips. However, given the urgency in the tone of General Mica's voice, she decided that being a little winded was worth the additional expediency, and as she began to voyage into the park itself, she pulled her comm from her coat pockets, surveying the area's signals as she slowly regained her breath.
"Captain Zircon here," she reported into the device softly, feeling the trace of a few signatures in the distance, both Chaos and Order. "Heading south from the main entrance, should make contact in a minute. Do we have a strategy yet?" As she began to close in on the signatures, she reached for her weapon in the depths of subspace, drawing it into the air. She might not know how to throw it yet, but the weighted boomerang could still act as one hell of a club in a pinch.

Zircon's call from his crystal rang clear, and Serpentine answered quickly. There was still some time yet before the traitor grew close enough to attack... better to begin mobilizing than to wait for even more came to interfere. "Negative. Mica is directing the mission. Await her orders, but come quickly."
One unit put into motion. Time to put in another. Golden eyes searched the area and settled on a somewhat nervous looking girl. "Lieutenant (Galena)," he called over, keeping his tone crisp and professional as ever. "Be our eyes. Tell us as new troops approach, from either side. More enemies could be coming."

If Galena's not where Serpentine can see her, let me know and I'll edit my post to take out his order.

Horatio was surveying the landscape below and... well, the situation didn't seem to be getting any better. More Negaverse agents, some weird feeling Dark Mirror Senshi, and a few blips of order.
"Hello," she mewled down at the red-hooded girl, her fuzzy face nothing but one big grin. "You're very cute with your hood but I don't think I've met you before, because if I'd met you before then I'd have a bunch of cavities from how cute you look. You just stay here with me and we'll sort things out, okay?" It was all spoken in a rushed whisper, but hopefully even if the words didn't all get understood, her positive expression and tail flicking to make her flag wave would catch the girl's attention.
Looking down, she saw a familiar face and she stretched out to reach for him. "Psssst, Massalia," Horatio called, only a bit softer than her normally boisterous volume to get his attention. She didn't recognize the person (Pisces) with him, but she was always eager to make a new friend! Especially whenever they were geating up for a fight. "Up here! C'mere and I'll mask you for a bit until we can get this party started. You look ready to whack a loser like a pinata, but I don't think candy's going to come out! Plus I've got another friend here already, so c'mon!"

Aludra - hope it's okay if she and my kitty share a tree? biggrin

Aludra had just settled herself into the tree when she realized she was not alone. At first she was thoroughly embarrassed not to have noticed, but that was quickly shoved aside because a) cat and b) cat! Her first instinct was to clamber higher and give her new friend a thoroughly good scratch behind the ears, but she managed to hold it back, instead grabbing hold of a branch to steady herself and give her hands something else to do.
“I’m so glad you’re here,” was all she said back, voice laden with relief. Aludra hadn’t had much contact with Guardian Cat’s, not since the first one had awakened her but surely it could only be a good thing.
Wait, Massalia? Aludra caught sight of her fellow Chibi as well and waved to catch his attention. Having someone she knew here was even more heartening. Together they would be able to make a difference, even if the mass of chaotic energy that was entering and approaching the park was one hell of a worry.

Better than a reply text was Horatio, and judging by lower on the tree, Aludra - both Massalia knew. He hadn't seen Horatio since Subra's awakening, but the boy was relieved, and motioned to Pisces, climbing up the tree as readily as Pisces in too-many skirts and bustles for climbing, the older girl ignoring the petticoat indecency risk Instead, Massalia took a space between Aludra and Horatio to maximize distance and looked out.
"So what is going on? Why so many chaos auras?" He asked, voice a corse whisper. Pisces remained quiet, gripping a branch near ground as she looked about cautiously.
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2014 10:40 pm
Royal Knight Camelot felt a large handful of auras nearby, and though he was not privy to what was going on, he imagined he might go and take a look at what was going on. Generally, in his experience, it was not always a good thing when a bunch of auras were gathered in one place. He wanted to make sure it was not happening because of any trouble.
He moved through the park and approached the gathering, eyebrows lifting in surprise as he saw the collection of senshi and others. Some, he noted with even more surprise, were not Order auras at all. He saw Dark Mirror senshi and realized he had no idea what was going on.
Just what was happening? Camelot did not like being out of the loop with these kinds of things.
It did not take the Royal Knight too long to feel the auras of more Chaos in the area. And he doubted they were all here to be neutral or friendly, or whatever it was that was going on here. He felt protective immediately as he moved toward the group of younger people he wanted to protect, gears kicking into place.
"What's going on here?" He called as he jobbed up, armor clanging lightly with his movements, long cape billowing behind him, "Chaos is everywhere!"
Everywhere indeed. General Painite heard the summons but chose to ignore it for what it was. Orders from someone who had no business ordering her about, over some thing she cared nothing about. What she did like, though, was the chance to reign terror and cause pain. And that was what she saw happening here.
All these senshi and knights gathered together, just waiting to be picked apart, piece by piece. It was like walking into an all you can eat buffet and being told you were the 100th customer. All this for free! She was not celebrating a birthday today, but it certainly felt like a special occasion. She hardly knew where to start.
Beside her, Merlinite stood almost awkwardly, if he knew how to be awkward. He had run into Painite on his way to the park, wanting to see what all the fuss was about, but he had not expected her to recruit him into... whatever it was she was doing. But she was a General, too, and, as a Captain, he felt like he was required to listen to her, as much as he was to Mica. Though once he saw another General and was told to do something else, he was ditching Painite like a bad habit.

Although technically out on patrol, Athene had in actuality been sitting on top of a rooftop and looking out over the city when his phone pinged. Although he didn't really care for rooftop hopping that much, Athene had found that rooftops made good thinking places.
He had been debating whether tonight should be the night that he kept the promise that he had made to Liryn the night that he had rescued the little bobtail from Atë in between sipping from the cup of take out coffee that had become something of a solid fixture on his patrols - after all it had been a relatively quiet evening so far and apart from the youma that he had dusted earlier, there had been nothing of real note...
...And the cat in question was with him - another tick in the column for this to be a good time for him to take a quick trip to the asteroid from which he took his senshi name - or at least it had been until his phone pinged.
Summoning the smartphone that a guardian called Ash had upgraded his old phone to, during the BlackWatch setting up meeting that had taken place last month Athene had opened up messages expecting it to be a message from Ida, Tsui, or mayhaps even Chaonis. It wasn't from any of the three who along with him made up the PSSG, instead it was from Pasiphae.
Received SMS: Need assistance with Negaverse. Purification attempt. Park. Please hurry.
It didn't take long to read through Pasiphae's message and Athene was on his feet by the time he reached the 'need assistance' part. "I'm heading to the park" he said quietly. "Apparently there's trouble down there." He'd been about to ask if Liryn was planning to come, but the little bobtail had chimed in that he was coming to. So instead Athene had scooped up the small guardian and let him settle on his shoulder with a quiet "Hold on" before making for the ground. He didn't quite set off however, taking a moment to tap up a quick message of his own.
Like the one that he had received Athene kept it simple
SMS from Athene: Purification attempt at park. Trouble with Negaverse - help needed.
Hitting send, he sent the message to his phone contact list before de-summoning the phone and breaking out into a dash. Pasiphae hadn't mentioned which park the purification attempt was going to take place at and Destiny City had more than one so Athene knew he was going to have to take a chance and pick one.
In the end however, finding the right park had been pretty easy - after all with three Nega-General level signatures and at least two Captain signatures (mayhaps more since he'd thought he'd felt a third) - it was pretty much a dead giveaway that something was up.
Athene tried to use the nearby trees to his advantage and as cover purposes as he tried to take in as much of the situation in as possible and then he felt it, the aura huge. Huge like Princess Iris' aura was huge or Princess Polaris, although it didn't feel like a Royal Order senshi's aura. It was missing the sheer oppressive darkness of a General King's aura which suggested that it wasn't a Negaverse aura either.
He followed it cautiously doing his best to try and avoid the chaos auras as he was loathe to go head to head with so many on his own. The source however was a surprise.
"Camelot?!" It was a while since he'd seen the knight, a knight who had been a Knight last time their paths had crossed a while, while back. In fact it was so long that Athene couldn't quite remember when he had last seen Camelot, although he thought that mayhaps it may have been last year time sometime.
((I've run out of time so will do Liryn's post later today, you can assume he and Athene have turned up together though. Feel free to interact with either of them))

Athene blanket messaged his phone contacts list so you can assume that Athene has messaged Ida if you want. Couldn't remember if Ash would be in his phone, but if she is then you can assume he messaged her too

Apparently he was missing one hell of a party, or that was his guess based on the number of energy signatures he felt moving around him, all of them seeming to be converging on one location.
Order and Chaos signatures alike on the move... last time he'd felt anything similar it had been to battle the Shade Queen, though this... so far... was at a smaller scale. For all he knew more might be on their way, though he didn't feel the kind of center point they had encountered then.
Still...
"Guess I'd better check this out." Someone had to have a better idea what was going on, since if something had been planned, they hadn't managed to get any information to him. Still...
Any gathering of Order and Chaos with this kind of numbers said there was something strange going on, and strange going on meant it was a good place to be to help.
"Athene!" Camelot heard the senshi call to him and turned to spot him, waving. He noted the feline companion that was with him, though Camelot was not sure he had ever seen that cat before. There would be time for introductions, though, perhaps later. His expression was serious and he motioned for the senshi to come over to him, summoning his shield.
He did not often carry the massive weapon, but the situation at hand seemed to dictate its necessity. It was large, emblazoned with a roaring dragon wreathed in flames. The green of the Terra Viridis crystal, still embedded in the metal of his shield, as it had been since he was a Squire, glistened from the dragon's wild eye. Its large wings spread out from the top of the oblong shield, growing out and stretching down to the bottom tip of the shield, making it broader than his previous one had been, though they were the same basic shape.
If he needed to, he would be able to set up a barrier to keep those around him from immediate danger, perhaps giving them a second to group themselves before a real fight broke out.
There was no mistake about the tension in the air: there was a fight brewing, and he did not like the feel of it. Though there seemed to be a lot of white moon auras and faces around, there were some powerful Negaverse auras as well, and that was never a good thing to feel. The fact that so many had gathered here, without Camelot knowing why, was disconcerting as well. Despite not knowing the reason, his duty was to aid and defend, and if he was needed here, then this was where he was going to stay.
(I'll be at work today but I'll try to reply during breaks/lunch, if anyone interacts with me during that time!)
