Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ferris still wasn't keen on anything involving leaving their apartment. She wanted to hide and snuggle Christine, but quota was a quota and the corrupted senshi was out hunting targets, occasionally looking to Sailor Callisto for guidance and ahead once more. She new there was an area populated by holiday shoppers nearby-- perhaps they'd find energy in abundance for the holidays? Occasionally, Ferris bouned, almost dancing on the roof as she moved, stopping finally to a halt before nearly shrieaking, and scrabbling behind Callisto.

"C...Cally!.... Ir... It's one of THEM!"

Indeed. two auras were relaxing on the roof. Miss Kitty hadn't bothered dampening Sailor Elpis for the moment as the senshi looked down on a swath of holiday shoppers idly, half-smiling. It was things like this that left the world at war, yet peace -- she'd watch and protect them after all, and she hummed, scooping Miss Kitty up at she motoned.

"Down there is my dad." Shw noted, indicating to a mop of wavy hair. "And it looks like Kasih is with him. Probably being spoiled."

Miss Kitty, for her part, hummed, nodding.

"And there's my friend Broderick with his Myammy." The Mauvian returned. Elpis raised a brow, entirely unphased by approaching chaos auras as she sat, stroking her.

"Good spot to watch then. Keep our loved ones safe."

Kasih Wiley was still getting re-used to everything. But the mall? Oh the mall felt as familiar as an old glove and she loved it. Even crowded as it was for the holidays! She did stick close to her adoptive father, though, because familiar it felt...didn't mean she knew her way around the mall.

"Hey, Dad! We should keep an eye out for presents, too!" She especially wanted to keep an eye out for the best one for Wren. The girl had helped save her from a lifetime of being nothing but a peon for lies and corruption and...gunk. "I know Wren's a tech junkie but...what's Aunt Emily and Uncle Tom and Flynn like?" She still didn't know them very well yet, even though she wanted to. So much. Family was important!

"Of course they would, Ferry," Callisto tsked, patting her arm affectionately before turning a brilliant smile on the little order senshi - she was strong, stronger than them individually, but they were two, she was but one, and... she seemed oddly shocked. Oh, they could use this!

"Poor thing," she murmured, eyes sad and almost - almost sympathetic. "Left all on her own. It's so sad that they do that. It makes me wonder how they manage anything at all, ignoring their own when they're in danger." Now, Callisto smiled, nudging Ferris affectionately.

"Let's show her what our new home did for us, okay love?"

Albert was, for the moment at least, unaware of the danger his daughter was in - distracted by both his newest daughter and the prospect of Christmas shopping. "Emily? She's oddly fond of chemistry," he said thoughtfully. "Aromatherapy and the like, too - always trying to find natural ways to help people. Tom's happiest if he's baking, so anything that will support that habit of his is a good thing. And Flynn...." He trailed off with a chuckle and shook his head. "If it burns, or if it bleeds heavy metal out the ears, he'll be happy. Unless you give him something for the baby, that might be even better."

.... Was he still irritated at his son for making him a grandfather before he hit forty? Yes. Did that make him adore tiny Rosie any less? Not in the least.

Meanwhile, Brody found his attention caught by Miss Kitty and mewled and apology to his Myammy before wiggling away out of her bag and to the ground, taking off after the other cat like a little orange rocket. What was going on? Did he need to scratch somebody?!?

Ferris trilled, hugging herself as she danced, beaming.

"They really do and we should! Maybe she'll even see sense!.... We can make tht happen."

Her tone decidedly went dark, and Elpis realized she was about to be attacked, fumbling to take a more combative stance... And was greeted by a fist to her chest, the senshi knocked back as she tried asserting a defensive position, Ferris crooning.

"Aw, did that hurt?" A kick soon followed, Elpis paling as she continued failing blocked.

"I.. Wait.... What?!"

This wasn't right, this WASN'T-- but he cat escaped right? Oh, god, she might actually die here....

Miss Kitty spid Broderick and bolted over, dodging feet and people as she mewled as loudly as possible in duress, rubbing the mae immediately as she panicked, whispering.

"My senshi, she's. She's outnumbered Brody help! My senshi needs help! She can't handle two basic level anyone alone, even if she's stonger, they're one too many magic users!"

Melee, maybe. Magic... HELL naw, and the normally unruffled mauvbian was PANICKED.

"Brody, please -- we need HELP!"

And she began to outright yeowl. Loudly.

Kasih looked around for the source of the noise, and spotted the two cats. And...wait. Wasn't one of those... "Oh no. I think that's Miss Kitty." Her voice had dropped so it would be hard to overhear her. "Dad, Dad if that's Miss Kitty, I think you know who may be in trouble!" Cue slight panic in her voice. That was her sister maybe in trouble! The one who'd saved her, who had told her the truth and encouraged her to think about things when no one else did! She quickly moved after the felines, trying not to panic or make herself too obvious in the crowd.

"Now now, Ferris," Callisto chided, nearly gently. "Dead weight doesn't fly very far. Let's at least give her half a chance, okay?" She wasn't sure why she felt like being a bit more lenient, but maybe it was just because the order senshi wasn't even fighting back. Perhaps she had been abandoned and mistreated just like they had been.

Shaking her head, she tugged the temporarily-catatonic Super senshi over to her, smiling in a way that was just a little unhinged. "Of course, if she doesn't fight back soon, we'll just have to take her home and get her moved in~". Wouldn't it be fun? "She could be family, Ferry! And we do need a bridesmaid for the wedding!"

Frowning, Albert glanced at the white cat again, then cursed. "Damn it!" Wren wasn't supposed to be in this area in the first place, let alone on patrol. If she had gotten herself caught up in trouble trying to spy out what everyone was getting for Christmas, he'd ground her - as long as she was well enough to ground, anyway.

He followed after the two cats, tugging Kesih along until they ran through an empty alley, powering without stopping until Kells managed to skid to a stop behind the felines, grey eyes widening as he saw the corrupts manhandling his baby.

He wanted to scream at them, but - no. No, something was very wrong with Wren, she wasn't fighting back - they would need to approach this with a little more caution.

Brody, meanwhile, had no such hesitation. He felt the Chaos auras and while he didn't yet fully understand what that means, he could piece together that they were hurting Miss Kitty's senshi, and that - that could not be allowed to continue.

"SUPER-SHREDDING KITTY-CLAWS ATTACK!" He yowled, and leaped into the fray, a fluffy orange buzzsaw intent on clawing whichever bad guy was close enough.

Elpis was cattonic. While Miss Kitty didn't know her senshi was beginning to internally panic - even grow hysterical under the magic beginning to fade out, she did rush for the other corrupt - the smaller one was a suitable target TOUCHING HER SENSHI, and the feline;s claws and teeth bared viciously.

"Get off my baby!" The mauvian snarled.

Ferris stopped, and prepared to turn when she realized a nake uvian spoke with the same frocity, close to thre female, and she huffed, a hand lashing and grabbing the golden tabby by the ruff, hard as she snorted.

"No! Bad boy! No clawing!" Ferris scolded. "BAD kitty!"

Still, she noticed two signatures appear, and close, and looked to Cally, perking.

"Do you think we're getting a full wedding party?"

Across the road -- perhaps even 2-3 blocks over, Samsonite moved along idly. Her eyes were peeled for ideal targets to drain - perhaps some cads, or boytoys, when she blinked, head tilting.

The Nega agent didn't go out often powered, busy with her art class curriculum and her little sister, but when she did, it was usually quiet, even peaceful. Tonight, she noted two chaos auras... Surrounded by five Order, and the Lieutenant gasped, huffing as she moved brisky in the direction of the battle, heels clacking smartly on the sidewalk as she pouted.

"Honestly," The woman sighed. "Must this be so messy? I mean, really. Not classy."

Another Chaos aura. Okay. They couldn't waste any time. Knock the Chaos senshi down, grab Elpis, and get the frickle frak outta there. Petra took a deep breath, then she took advantage of the fact the others could sense that they were there, but not where. She moved quickly, going for the larger one's legs in such a way that if she fell, it wasn't going to be on Elpis.

"Get the ******** away from my friend!" She knew better than to say 'sister' around the enemy. The thought of Chaos knowing who her family was was a deep fear, one she had a horrible feeling came back to who she had been before.
