Due to the presence of a disposable in this RP, it counts as a battle!
Breaking her henshin pen had consequences. This was just one of them. In front of her was a monster and its Chaos-addled toy--a lieutenant, judging by his ball-and-cup weapon, and its youma comrade--and behind her was an alley wall. "It's just a donation to the Dark Kingdom," said the Lieutenant. "Taxes. For being <******** useless and too skinny besides." He clucked his tongue off the roof of his mouth, and Elke wished she at least felt scared instead of defiant. This wasn't how she wanted to die, but... if this was how it was going to go, then whatever. At least she'd die fighting.
Footsteps echoed down the alley, too fast to be those of a regular human. Backup? The only sense Elke missed from her time as a senshi was the aura sense. It was either her savior or the final nail in her coffin. It probably didn't matter in the end, since the youma was close enough that she could taste its Chaos-tainted breath in the back of her throat.

"Wait!" Alphard, newly woken senshi, was about as brilliant as he was good at hiding himself. While he certainly knew to stay away from groups or agents, letting some poor lady get attacked didn't seem like the space star hero magical man kinda thing to do. Besides, three on one was just rude and bad math.
"Taxes- Tah-taxes!" He finally reached them, nearly out of breath, the witty come back he had been thinking of dying on his need for oxygen. "Tax- Taxes should be based on total income, and that means-" He flared out his cape as dramatically as he could in front of the woman. "That it's time you pay up! The poor are the ones most at risk and should be given aid, not suffer the burden of your corporate tax breaks!"
It sounded much more cooler and accurate in his head. "I am Sailor Alphard," He tried his best impression of Christopher Nolan, "Senshi of the Night!"
He posed, just like they did in all those animes he watched when it was 2 am on that cartoon channel.
She blinked slowly at her knight in shining armor. Well, senshi. Part of her wanted to laugh, because he was so earnest about the whole thing. The rest of her was pretty well resolved to her imminent death.
"Bro," said the Lieutenant, wrinkling his nose. "Are you high?" This was sort of what Elke had been wondering, so she arched an eyebrow and pressed a little closer to the wall. Unfortunately, while the youma was pretty well distracted by the arrival of the senshi, the lieutenant wasn't a mindless murdering machine. "Yeah, okay," he said, and he turned his attention to Elke. His reaching arm dropped when she hauled back and kicked him in the balls, but that wasn't likely to stop him for long. "******** ******** ********!" The pronunciation was a bit off, mangled by her accent, but it was clear enough. "You have an attack? Use it!"

Alphard had as much shame as a cat that had just pulled a tampon from a purse and shredded it all over your carpet right before your boyfriend arrived.
AKA not even a single shred.
"Yeah!" Was his enthusiastic and honest answer, reaching into his sash to pull out a lighter as well as a freshly rolled blunt. "I got a fresh batch this afternoon and its ******** great- wait hey that's not very polite." He frowned as the guy ignore him in favor of harassing the woman and got himself kneed.
"Aw come on that's not polite either and why?"
The youma screeching and making a slash at him, ripping up his cape reminded him as to just why it would be good to attack. "OH s**t OH s**t ALL MY GLITTER DOTS." He looked more concerned about his cloak than himself really. "I'm supposed to sparkle and that was the sparkliest part of me oh s**t-" Running towards the woman to grab her hand and run he twisted long enough to aim-
"Veil of Twilight!" And let a orb of pure darkness swallow the agent and his backup whole. "THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY OKAY SO THIS IS WHERE WE RUN AND STUFF BECAUSE MY SPACE MUMBO JUMBOS DOESNT LAST LONG OKAY OKAY."
"Because they are--" And then he had her hand and they were running. Elke was not physically strong enough for this, she thought, but the only way to get better would be to ******** book it along after Alphard, nevermind that he had a senshi's speed and she didn't.
She could have. Elke gave herself a moment to feel sorry for herself, then tried to focus on running.
Months of neglect soon had her body shutting down any thought of running further, and she stumbled more than once before finally yanking her hand out of his and tripping to a stop on her knees. Merde. The way her breath ripped through her lungs did not feel right--she hadn't felt like this since... since... she must have been fifteen. A child.
Not that she was much less of a child now, she thought, trying to regulate her breathing into something less tortured.

He knew in that tiny voice that told him no, we don't leave the stove on to make the room warm that is not smart, that this lady needed help. Help running. And he should do that because what good was posing if no one was around to watch him do it? "Oh." As she fell down he just stared at her for a second, "hey, hey it goes like this- HUUUUUUUUU" he sucked in a lung full of air. Then held it. Let started coughing. "Okay no not like-augh yeah but we gotta move. Cuz the things. The tax collectors." He tugged on her arm to pull her up, hearing the youma in the distance.
"I don't want to pay taxes. I can barely afford my rent so just let me carry you or something I promise I wont touch your butt."
Even if he wanted to. He had to ask permission first.
He hauled her to her feet and Elke really didn't want to be standing. Really didn't. "Okay," she said, "okay, fine, carry me." Merde. Merde! She'd talk to Carson about the pair of them maybe doing some light cardio, or something, she didn't know, anything that would keep her out of this situation in the future. Senshi had powers, and ran much faster than she did or even could, but...
But nothing. She let the senshi pick her up and said, "We'd better go fast. Negaversers are faster than you by nature."

Picking her up and carrying her to the nearest safe spot, which was to him the nearest taco bell because what greater places was there for late night munchies? Still having the woman in his arms he finally realized it. "Oh, thanks for not screaming terrorist in my ear or hitting me with a purse some people apparently do that? And the negaverse isnt faster than nature. Actually- wait a sec." He looked at a tree. "Okay maybe they are but shhh don't tell nature that it can get mad."
Up close it was easy to tell that his eyes were bloodshot and he smelled faintly of cannabis.
"But now you're safe! Thank you for letting me save you and not hitting me." A pause. "Do you like tacos? Cuz I'm kinda hungry."

"I know what you are," said Elke. "You're not a terrorist." She patted his shoulder and didn't comment upon the scent of drugs--that sort of thing had been common in Paris, the way many things were common in large cities--instead she scanned the area around them, unable to cycle down from her paranoid state. "I'm not hungry. If you are, I could purchase something for you."
Something glimmered beneath a nearby car. She went to investigate.
This lady had officially become Alphard's favorite person. No screaming or hitting him with purses AND offers to buy him food? She was amazing, the end. The sparkles around them just made her seem all the more perfect.
"You really are amazing." He grinned. "Would you buy me 5 tacos? And a large lemonade?"

Elke smiled then, flattered--and a little puzzled by the bottle of orange liquid she unearthed from beneath the car--and said, "Yes, of course." She wasn't familiar with the prices of Taco Bell from personal experience, but they were surely low if the popularity of them on social media was to be explained. Not that it would really matter either way; Elke was a legal adult, but her situation meant her parents were helping her financially and would be for quite a while.
Inside, she ordered and promptly settled herself in one of the window tables, gesturing for Alphard to join her. "Why did you expect me to hit you with my purse?" She didn't even have a purse on her. She had, like, a tiny backpack, which was hardly useful as a weapon.
Still powered as if this was of no issue, Alphard followed her, a grin on his face as she ordered the goods. Truly, he was blessed and this woman was an angel.
A miracle.
He had saved the best person in the city and she- well. Her name would be asked. Just one he grabbed the sparkle sparkle thing in that potted plant because if it sparkled it was space and space was important because he was night space knight of space or something.
Sitting down he stared at her. ".........wha- oh! Because thats what ladies do when I try to help them. That or scream a lot. Which hurts my head and then I can't do much so I just run away faster. But it's okay though! The things follow me. If I forgot to blind them that is. Gotta blind em first OH HEY DID YOU GET CHEESE?" He gave her a look, expecting cheese.

Congratulations Elke! You have found a potion! It sparkles, emitting a soft glow but the most surprising thing is that it changes color from red to green, and through yellow, blue and orange. It looks like you have to set your heart on the color you wish for most! Luckily you feel nothing sinister or alarming about the potion, but better not drink it....just yet.
Remember to post in the thread to claim the potion and post what type you would like! [Link]
