Welcome to Gaia! ::

Terry was whistling as he walked towards the ice skating rink. Well not really walked as he was going by his usual way of travel, his roller blades. Either way though he was happily making his way to one of his favorite places to hang out and relax. After the hectic mess that was this past few weeks he was looking forward to just ignoring the world for a while and enjoying himself, hopefully with out having to worry about being Erebus, Page of Saturn for a while. When he finally got to the rink he paid admission then headed over to one of the benches to switch out his rollers for his ice skates.

As he was slipping off his blades he looked around briefly, idly seeing if he recognized anyone, but as nothing and no one caught his interest he looked back down as he finished. He was sitting his blades to the side when the screaming started. His head jerked up and he scowled as he spotted the youma in the middle of the ice rink where civilians were crying out in terror. Was just a few hours to himself too much to ask? Since it apparently was he quickly ducked behind a counter and summoned his oar to transform. The newly transformed Erebus stayed behind the counter for a few moments longer to shoot out a quick message to Dmitry in a call for back up. He briefly recalled that the other man would be nearby but hadn't asked if the other Page would like to join him in ice skating. "I could use a bit of help over at the skating rink, there is a youma attacking civilians!" Was his message then he jumped from behind the counter to take in the situation.

At this point the civilians had mostly fled, though there were a few who hadn't, and the polar bear looking youma was still in the middle of the ice. "This is going to be fun." He said under his breath with a sigh and started towards the ice.

Erebus would never admit, on pain of death probably, but it was almost worth the attack and the ruin of his peaceful night to see Aaru slipping on the ice. However it was only almost since it came with civilians getting hurt and their energy drained. "Have you never skated before?" He asked as he dodged a swipe of the youma's claw and retaliated with a punch to the fake bear. He himself wasn't having any trouble staying balanced what so ever even with the fact that his boots weren't meant for this type of terrain. However he wasn't doing a lot of damage to the youma either since while he could stay up, he couldn't get the right momentum to actually cause damage.

The bear youma roared in anger and tried to split it's attention between the two Saturn Knights in it's attacks.

"Prepare yourself in what way?" Erebus asked as he dodged another swipe from the youma. He saw what Aaru was doing and did his best to keep the youma's attention on him temporarily so the other Knight could go through with his attack.

Thankfully both of them were successful and the youma wasn't able to attack Aaru and Aaru was able to get a decent kick in. The youma's leg went out from under it and it slid back on the ice a little bit, roaring in anger.

"Nice hit!" Erebus called out before he got an idea. "Keep it's attention, I'll be right back with something to even the odds!" He said then quickly mad his way off the ice and made a bee line towards his earlier discarded ice skates.

The youma roared again and got back to it's feet, taking about as long as Aaru did to get to his own and then attacked with a swipe of it's paw.

It didn't take long for Erebus to pull off his boots, being glad that they could come off with out magic, and he put on his skates in a hurry. Once done he moved back onto the ice. At the edge of the rink he took a deep breath then dashed out onto the frozen area, finding his idea was right and he was having a much easier time getting the momentum needed for anything. He got a small smirk on his lips and a glint in his eyes as he quickly closed the distance between the two fighters. "Easiest way to stop the slipping, wear the proper equipment!" He said to Aaru and then pulled a spin his mother had taught him when he was little to use one of the blades on the skates to attack the youma.

The bear youma jerked and roared in pain as one, two slashes appeared on it's side thanks to the attack then charged at the two Saturn Knights in retaliation.

Erebus continued his assault on the youma with his skate blades being used as weapons, completely oblivious to Aaru's plotting. While fighting wasn't particularly fun to him, he could admit to himself that this one in particular was as he got the chance to pull out moves he hadn't gotten to do in a while thanks to the fact that doing them in a crowded ice rink would end up doing to civilians what he was doing to the youma.

The youma roared in painful anger as the double attack between Aaru's burning candle and Erebus' sharp skates and started to stagger. It's attacks came let and lets co-ordinated and it became obvious that it wasn't going to last much longer.

"And why is this?" Erebus asked as he pulled another spin slash. Just as his attack hit the youma so did Aaru's punch and the bear youma let out one last roar before dusting from taking too much damage. Erebus almost lost his balance when his leg lost the resistance of the youma but he quickly righted himself and came to a stop to catch his breath, only just now realizing just how much he was panting.

"Well that was funner then I had expected it to be." he said and gave Aaru an adrenaline filled grin.

Erebus raised an eyebrow at the other Knight and looked around, idly noting that all the remaining civilians had run away when they had been fighting the youma. "If you remember my message, I did in fact tell you it was an ice skating rink." He said with a teasing tint to his tone. "Not my fault you can't skate." He said then with a bit of hesitation, offered his hand out for the other so he could help him up from the ice.

If Aaru had said that out loud then Erebus totally would have told him it count. Especially since if he didn't pay attention at least a bit then he wouldn't have been able to find the fight in the first place. But since Aaru kept that to himself, Erebus was blissfully unaware.

Once the other Knight was on his feet, Erebus pulled his hand back as subtly as possible then started to head off the ice and towards his shoes. "Oh please, I've been to your appartment so I know what it's like." He said, teasing as well. "I guess if you want me to meet someone I could." He gave Aaru a searching look, wondering just who he was going to meet but shrugged, guess he would find out soon. "Yes, lets get out of here."
