Hyperborea raised her staff up just in time to block a clawed hand that was aiming to tear apart her face. She wasn't entirely sure how she had managed it but she had gotten surrounded by four youma.
Earlier she had been out on patrol trying to chase down a youma, she had been so absorbed in her hunt for the obnoxiously fast youma that she didn't notice the three other auras that began to trail after her transcended aura.
By the time she had cornered the youma she herself was cornered. Oh merde. She thought to herself as she realized the situation she was in, summoning her staff to her hand. One or two youma she could handle and she could probably take three on with some effort but four at once was going to be problematic.
She swung her staff in a large arc as she tried to force the youma back. Throughout the course of the fight one of them had managed to scratch her cheek with it's razor sharp claws. As she went to block the attack of one of them another slashed her across her back with it's metal claws, cutting through her soft golden armor and her thin white dress underneath.
She could really use some help right now.

its just fine ^.^ let me know if something is off with mine please sweatdrop
Antares was out patrolling, looking for a fight or just exploring, or running from her past, even she wasn't sure this time. Maybe it was a bit of both since she hadn’t found anyone in need of help, other than the typical drunk wandering the street or homeless guy curled up under a blanket. She wasn’t picking up anything aura wise and the city seemed quiet where she was, lurking on the rooftops. As she slowly traversed the pitch covered roofs, always on the lookout for anything that was squirly, she let her mind wander a bit.
For the last few months she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched, followed, even studied from a distance. It was little things, old momentos showing up, a shadow in a dark alley, the creeping feeling of eyes on her in a crowd… She had her suspicions as to who was stalking her, if she was being followed at all, but it made no sense since there was no reason for him to have come after her. Absolutely none. Besides she hadn’t sensed anyone lately, or gotten mysterious little ‘gifts’, so whatever it was she sense seemed to be gone. But the quiet was making her just as anxious and skittish so rather than snap at her family she was roaming the rooftops. Trying to find solace in the city she was trying to protect and finding none.
The young blond wasn’t so lost in her troubles that she didn’t pick up the strange signature of a transcendent… and a nearly overwhelming sense of youma.The senshi didn’t think that anyone short of a royal would actually be able to handle what she was picking up so without even thinking about it she rushed towards the danger, her own worries put aside for now. It didn’t take long for her to find the small group, four youma to one knight? Now that was just not fair. “Looks like it's time for me to even up the odds a little.” With a smile the senshi of scorpions waded into the fray, swinging a fist at the side of the closest beast.
Hyperborea had been too absorbed in her fight to feel the senshi's approach, so she was surprised when the bond jumped into the fight taking a swing at on of the youma and pulling it's attention off of her. The small white haired knight couldn't help the smile of relief, this made things much more manageable though she couldn't relax just yet.
"Merci!" She said to the senshi. She swung her staff in a manor similar to how one would swing a scythe catching one of the youma on the neck with one of the crystal wings. The force of the swing shattered the wing and turned the youma to dust.
She turned her attention to the two remaining youma fighting her. She swung her staff in an arc at them, forcing them to back up from her. "I'm Hyperborea of Cosmos by the way." She said to the senshi.

Antares missed the thanks since she was pretty focused on dodging the wicked looking claws of ‘her’ youma. Xander would kill her if she got clawed this close to his wedding, granted she likely would be healed by the time the ceremony took place but still… best to avoid them if at all possible. She was distracted for a moment when the knight dusted one of the youma, her staff thing breaking in the process, lucky for Antares’ her youma was distracted by that as well and apparently infuriated.
It had turned to blindside the knight when the senshi side checked it, making it stagger into the side of one of its youma buddies. With a cool smile the blond nodded to the knight, “Antares.” Her response was short and sweet, her attention on the three remaining youma. The one that she made stumble into its fellow was back on its feet and decided to charge. The senshi crouched down and muttered her magic, when the ghostly scorpion appeared she promptly scooped it up and chucked it at the youma. She honestly wasn't sure what the magic would do but if luck was on their side it would adversely affect the chaos creature.
Sailor Scout Attack:Scorpion Sting
When the attack is called out a ghostly scorpion around the size of a rat or a hamster appears and advances upon the attended target. The scorpion can be touched, swatted, hit, and stepped on but it is not recommended since it is able to sting through clothes and armor alike. When it stings, it's target gets severe pins and needles sensation in the limb that was stung... as if their limb had fallen asleep and was just then waking up, this effect lasts 30 seconds. Any residual affects are up to the target if there is any at all.
The scorpion can be dodged and after 7 feet it disappears and it can only manifest for 30 seconds at a time. It does not travel in a straight line, rather it will head to anything moving so it could be tricked. The length of the scorpion and the length of the effects of the attack are separate, if you are stung in the beginning you have just as long as someone stung right before the scorpion disappears.
This attack can be used up to a maximum of three times in a battle. When the three scorpions have been used no more can manifest until later.
sorry this took so long sweatdrop feel free to dust one or both of the remaining youma in your post
Hyperborea had not been paying enough attention to the third youma that Antares was fighting as it almost blindsided her but thankfully a tackle from the senshi saved her.
The senshi decided to use her magic apparently as she threw some sort of ethereal large scorpion at the youma. It managed to sting two of them in the leg. The youma staggered around like their legs were numb.
Hyperborea took this opportunity to focus on the third youma as she smack it with the flat of her staff several times sending it stumbling back. She followed it up with swinging the remaining crystal wing of her staff directly down on the monster's head shattering the crystal and leaving nothing but dust where the youma had been.

believe me... that wasnt long XD I've got rps that are still open from years ago 3nodding
Even as her scorpion landed Antares was in motion. The other girl, Hyperborea, could deal with the one other youma, she had take care of the other two. As the two youma were staggering around, even now it seemed the scorpion’s venom was wearing off, Antares rushed at them. Unlike the other senshi, the blond didn't have anything to beat the youmas to dust other than her fists… And they would do just fine.
Once she was close enough she started after one one the chaos spawn. It took longer than she wanted too, and a few close calls with those razor sharp claws, but finally the creature bit the dust. With one final punch it disintegrated, leaving Antares coughing from the cloud of youma dust. With her eyes watering she nearly missed the last youma attacking, the little bugger had been held at bay by a few swift smacks but mostly it seemed to be holding itself back for some reason, now that its companions were gone it went after the senshi that used her magic on him; Antares.
Only luck saved her head since the youma swiped at her right as she sneezed. The creatures razor claws missed her head but instead glanced off her metal collar and just grazed her back. A hiss in pain is all the noise she made as she hit the dirt, several claw marks on her lower back starting to bleed. Xander was going to be pissed.
Hyperborea moved quickly when she saw the senshi hit the ground. She dispelled her now broken staff and quickly activated her aspect. She was enveloped by the silvery sheen of cosmos.
She pounced on the youma before it had a chance to attack the downed senshi again. She rained blows on it before she grabbed it's head and slammed it down on her knee with enough force to turn the youma to dust that spread out on her already blood stained dress.
She looked to the senshi. "Merci Antares!..." She noticed the wound on the senshi. "You're hurt hang on a sec." She said as she walked over and kneeled down next to the girl putting her hands on the senshi's back. She channeled some of her energy into the senshi. "That should help with the pain and the wound should heal much faster." she said wiping some of the sweet from her forehead, she was exhausted from the fight and giving energy, she was running on empty. As she went to stand up she stumbled a little.
Aspect of Cosmos
The silvery sheen of starlight covers the Knights of the Cosmos, and their touch is just as heavenly. It's warm and pleasant to most, but acidic and painful to corrupted beings. For the followers of Chaos, physical contact with one of these Knights feels like a mild chemical burn: although it does little in the way of damage, it's hard to tolerate it.

lol thanks ^.^

She is not a nice person >.<' sorry about that
Before Antares could really react to the dusting… it really wasn’t death for the youma, not as far as she was concerned, Hyperborea was kneeling next to her. “I’m fi-” Her words of rather false and cut off when the knight placed her hands on the blond’s back. The faint scars that peppered her back were lucky hidden by the darkness, what was left of her uniform, blood, and dirt but that wasn’t why she jerked away from the warm hands that rested lightly on her. “Don’t….” Her voice cracked with the control she was exerting on her body not to lash out and seriously hurt the knight, “Don’t touch me!” Her fingers were digging into the grass, holding on for dear life. Over all she had gotten better at lashing out when people touched her but it still took a lot of warning which this definitely was not.
Luckily for both Hyperborea and Antares, whatever the knight was doing was done and she removed her hands from the senshi at which point, regardless of her wounds the blond fighter scrambled to get away from the knight. “I don’t,” She swallowed and flexed her fingers, desperately wanting to hit something but considering how the knight stumbled, a fight with her would just be Antares bullying the other female, “like being touched.”
Wrapping herself in the cold armor of disdain and aloofness Antares got to her feet with a caustic comment, “you know if you attract youma like flies to honey you might want to learn to fight. Or at least bring along a buddy to hide behind because you would have been screwed if someone didn't show up to help.” The little fact that Hyperborea dusted three of the four youma was not lost on Antares, she just didn’t bring it up.
She dusted off the meager skirt of her uniform, mentally chiding herself for not grabbing the black sweater she had been using to cover the skimpy outfit. It didn't matter that the night was warm and in a few more days would likely be sweltering, she despised just how little her uniform seemed to cover… And just how feminine it made her look. “You should scamper on home before you get killed.” The young blond didn't even bother to look at the knight, instead keeping her eyes peeled for any danger that might be creeping up on the duo from the shadows. “Besides you need to get those wounds looked at.” She had missed cuts at first but it wasn't hard to see the damage those youma had inflicted.
Hyperborea looked dejected as she took a step back. She hadn't meant to offend the girl so much she just wanted to help. "Je suis désolé. I'm...I'm sorry I didn't mean..." She stopped, what was the point she had clearly pissed off this girl. Just like Teide, she needed to remember boundaries better.
She didn't bother to mention that she knew how to fight just fine or the fact that she had taken out a majority of the youma. She didn't feel it was points worth arguing.
"I heal quickly at my wonder." She muttered as she summoned her summons to her side. Cerynitis, The white deer with it's bronze hooves and golden antlers hit the pavement. Hyperborea wasn't feeling up to walking home on her own so she pulled herself up ontop of the creature.

its ok ^.^ and i would say your next post should wrap it just fine
Antares had glanced back at the knight just as the dejected look crossed her face and for a moment the young blond felt bad. Like she had slapped at a kitten that had only wanted to snuggle in her lap and purr. She felt like a bully and she hated bullies, it's was actually why she had jumped into the fight to begin with since the youma had ganged up on the glowing knight. With a sigh she ran her hair through her cropped hair, turning away to study the darkness. “Look. I just don’t like being touched. Not even to receive first aid.” Her apology, such as it was, had been said quietly. Adding in an even softer tone, Antares gave a more normal seeming apology, “Didn’t mean anything personal by it.”
A well timed glance had her catching site of the materialized deer. For a moment she was like a innocent child, gazing at it in wonder and awe before her jaded world view shattered her eyes and she was staring at the knight with cold and slightly distant blue gaze. “If you heal quicker there then better get moving. No time like the present.” Her harsh words were softened slightly by the lingering gaze on the deer before Antares turned away and started to head off into the darkness. Neither were in shape to stick around powered up and practically begging for some other chaos tainted insanity to insue. Even knowing that delaying any longer might have unnecessary consequences she paused just inside of the shadows. “If you go out, take someone with you. There is safety in numbers even if there is no need for it.” She didn’t bother to turn around when giving her advice, or even acknowledge the fact that she too was alone, before heading off into the dark. Antares didn’t go too far, just enough to find a safe spot to power down before heading back to her place to have her own wounds looked at.
"I'm sorry I didn't know. Merci." She said from atop the ethereal deer. "I'll try, you do the same. May the stars light your path." She said wearily as she urged Cerynitis forward towards her home. She was probably going to get an earful from Winterlynn over showing up like this, but she also didn't have the energy to go to her wonder right now. Plus she'd just be trading a worried Russian girl for a worried ancient giant, Theseus tended to fuss over her when she showed up wounded. So the deer took off at a speed that was unimaginable for any normal animal, their forms quickly disappearing into the darkness.
