Not like a little bit of snow. Like a lot of snow. Islay could be forgiven for being a little bit distracted from her chemistry test by the fluffy white flakes falling outside the first-floor window. They were piling up thick and fast, and she just knew that Dada would be calling Dad to come get them both, and that would be awkward. But probably safer, since Dada's car had been acting up a lot lately. She sighed, and tapped the end of her pencil on the scantron sheet, red eyes narrowing.
Even though she was looking directly at the window, the loud thunk of a snowball hitting the glass startled her. She jumped, and leaned forward, narrowing her eyes. There was something out there. Two somethings, maybe. And at least one of them didn't look human.
Islay threw her hand up in the air, pencil abandoned and test forgotten. "Ms. Ellis," she said, "I need to pee!" Without waiting for permission, she got up and bolted. Only once she had cleared the building--neatly avoiding someone who'd tried to stop her for a hall pass--did she reach for the gardenia branch that was her weapon. She crossed the yard, snow bitterly cold on her unprotected toes, and stopped to size up the situation.
A Negaverser. He looked older than she did by a good few years, probably a grad student if he even attended school, which she doubted, 'cause he was scruffy as hell and generally looked more like her bio-dad than anything. And next to him, a creepy-looking but probably-inanimate snowman. That was a bit of a letdown. One day she'd find one of those monsters everyone saw on the news... "Do you have a visitor's pass," she asked, which was a big question for someone who had barely half the body mass of the potential enemy. "'Cause if you don't, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave."

Ugh testing. She hated it. Rose rested her cheek in her hand as she stared down at the words. It was pretty ironic, all things considering, that she really didn't like word problems. Lilac eyes closed slowly as she listened to the sound of pencils on paper and the occasional groan coming from some poor kid who didn't know the answers.
While she didn't like word problems, Kepler knew the answers, or at least could figure them out because she spent so much of her time studying so she didn't get her GPA down. She wanted to attend a really good college, thank you very much. She glanced around the room and then looked really startled when she heard the rattling of a window, her head whipping around to stare in the direction it came from.
Oh, good God. Here? She felt an energy that really, really wasn't human and it made her school flush. "Mr. Schmoll, I need to go to the bathroom. Lady emergency." That always shut up the male teachers. She grabbed her bag to make it look more believable and running out of the door. She stashed her bag somewhere and along the way towards that energy did she turn to Kepler. Just as she burst out the door, she noiced another there, talking to the creepy looking snowman and the Negaverse Agent. Was it a lieutenant? Oh this was not good.
"Don't just ask," Kepler said, coming up beside the other, smirking. "Words are useless."
With that, she took off, slowed by the snow, but she was trying!
This was going to be the worst, most shittiest chase scene ever, but--not bad for her first big fight, right? At least she wasn't going to be alone! Colchis threw a smile at the... actually, you know what, she didn't know what the other girl was, only that they were presumably on the same side. "Come on, girls," he said, "Don't let's fight. It's gonna end bad for you."
"No way," shouted Colchis. "We're gonna--we're gonna <********> you up!" She looked to the other... person... and grinned, flashing a thumbs up before hauling herself off to a running start and freaking tackling the guy. Teach him to mess with Crystal girls! If the other girl even was a Crystal girl.

Kepler snorted a little at the other's wording. So crude. Still, she had to agree. They were going to royally mess this Chaos pair up and tear them a new one! There's a reason Kepler didn't trash talk very much. She'd leave that to this.... page...? Kepler wasn't too sure, honestly. Just that Yumi said there would be allies that weren't senshi involved with fighting Negaverse agents.
She flashed her own thumbs up and watched as the other blond tackled the agent before wincing. That was going to hurt. "Be careful!" Kepler, however, looked to the youma and charged the thing, jumping up in the air to roundhouse kick it. Stupid snowman! How hard could it be to defeat one? Not hard at all, hah!
Yeah!! This was... this was kind of awesome! Colchis always kind of got her high from entering rooms at the right time to the music in her headphones (the elevator doors opening once to the start of the Bond theme had been the highlight of her week once) but it turned out punching people was awesome! She hardly noticed the other girl kicking the snowman's head off. What she did notice was something ******** rearing out of the place where the snowman's head had once been.
It was a snake. A giant. Green. Apparently not garden-variety. Snake. Colchis gave a shrill scream and the Lieutenant laughed, grabbing at her arms. "Oh my god be careful," she shrieked as the snake monster coiled in on itself. How long was it? Longer than a car, probably. Eight feet? Ten feet? She spent enough time debating that the Lieutenant successfully got his feet between her and kicked her away, sending her rolling through the growing pile of snow.
Between scaring off the Lieutenant and leaving the other girl to get eaten by a literal basilisk (although its gaze showed no sign of killing anyone... yet) she was definitely going to support the other girl. "It went under the snow," Colchis yelled, as the snake dived out of view.

Snake?
Kepler screamed in a different way. She wasn't scared of snakes. However she was terrified of snakes suddenly POPPING OUT OF THE SNOW LIKE DAISIES. That was just not coo! She staggered backwards, landed on her butt and tried to crawl her way away while whining and huffing.
Then she looked over to the page and saw her being kicked away through a pile of snow and Kepler moved over to her, standing near enough to her that she could fend off a surprise attack easily enough. "Really, snake, really?" She stamped her foot impatiently and then rubbed at her face, ignoring the fact her hands were freezing. If they couldn't wrap this up soon it could get really ugly with the whole school wanting to watch what was causing girls to scream.
"Where is it?" Her eyes scanned the snow, looking for it to move and give away the snake's location.
Colchis clutched at the edge of the other girl's skirt, red eyes darting about to try to find the snake before it approached her. This was a bad move, since there was still a Lieutenant, wasn't there--
No. No there wasn't. She let a shrill shrieking noise out through her teeth--the creep was retreating, she could see him climbing over the fence. Did he think the great big snake would be enough to kick their asses? Because he was probably right!! "Oh my god, it's like a boa constrictor, it could eat us whole!" Ew ew ewww! She shrieked again, a little breathless this time, when the snake sprung out of the snow. She attempted to kick it, but only managed to topple herself over.
It was all in the other girl's hands now, thought Colchis, as she tried to roll to her feet.

Her eyes locked onto the retreating officer and that just fueled her anger. "At least stay and get beat up with your stupid snake!" Kepler screamed after him. She looked at the other girl once she toppled over and just let out an exasperated noise.
Getting into her position, Kepler cast her magic on herself since it didn't look like the other would be of any use against a snake. "Defensionem!" With her shield around herself, she ran at the snake and jumped upwards, high into the air before bringing an elbow down on it's head. Or she prayed she did. Stupid cobra. It wasn't like she had a sharp weapon to dust it with.
"You're going to have to help!"
shibrogane
One hand is held up and she closes her eyes. The phrase is spoke and a shield of words, surrounds her, or whoever she focuses on.
In which she creates a small shield around one person, or herself. 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!
Some people didn't have nice long sleeves, thought Colchis, which was not really relative to anything so...???? The elbow-drop from the other girl stunned the monster, so Colchis jumped on it, her sandaled feet grinding into its back. "Can you like, smush it again," she asked, a little winded but still calmer than hte last time. Colchis sat down on the monster, hard, holding at least its middle in place. "I don't have heels or anything but maybe stomping on it?"
Why the heck was this snake so active, anyway? Weren't they cold-blooded?

Smush it? Kepler rolled her eyes at the other girl and just grunted as she jumped back to let Colchis do whatever it is she did. Dang it, this was a lot harder than she thought it was going to be. Kepler looked at the cobra again and ran up to it, slamming her small heeled she into the snake's head as the other sat on it. Well it worked.
She smashed her heel into the head of the youma over and over again until it literally poofed into dust. Not the most dignified ways to dust a youma but you know what? It worked. Her displaced hair fell into her eyes as she turned to look at the other girl.
"...Well.." She was trying not to sound annoyed. "That's how you fight a youma. Sort of."
