Having spent the majority of her day at work then taking frustrations out at the gym (hitting a punching bag was wonderful for dealing with anger and other emotions), Gwen almost decided to skip out on her patrol. She had tired herself out and knew that she’d be nursing some sore muscles tomorrow, but the need to keep to her schedule was greater than the want to sleep. If anything she could make it a short patrol. Maybe an hour or two and then retire for the night. That way she wouldn’t skip out on her duties and feel bad about it, but be able to get a good night sleep. The perk was, she didn’t need to get up early tomorrow. Not so long as her dog, Reilly didn’t come pouncing into the bedroom to wake her.
Powered up, Hy-Brasil set out on a normal route. It took her through one of the smaller parks of the city, into a shadier neighborhood, and towards the main heart of the city. It wasn’t a particularly difficult route. For the most part she ran across the occasional youma and rarely anything worse. It was a perfect route for how tired she was.
She utilized the rooftops of buildings as well as alleyways when needed. Being powered up meant she didn’t much worry about someone trying to mug her, unless of course that someone was chaos, but sneaking up on her would be difficult considering the signature they all put out.
It was towards the end of her route when she sensed it. A weaker signature than her own and clearly chaos oriented was nearby. Hy-Brasil had a moment when she debated on ignoring it. She could just continue on her way and go home. The problem with that idea was she would feel guilty. What if that agent was up to something? Hurting someone?
With an internal sigh, Hy-Brasil shifted her direction and hurried off towards the Lieutenant.kuropeco LMK if I need to change anything

Annabergite had had, in comparison, an extremely accomplished evening, if he did say so himself. It had involved an afternoon spent with Yuuri after a day of relaxing and time spent at the salon, and that had all led into the evening, now, where he had already managed to snag one starseed and was working on a second.
"Shhh,shhh," he whispered, a low croon, a hand stroking over the hair of the man on the ground, slumped over. He reeked of alcohol; Annabergite wrinkled his nose in distaste, sinking his hand a little deeper into the man's chest, hoping he wasn't about to wake up anytime soon.
Somewhere in the distance, he felt it - the first fluttering of a power signature nearby, stronger than his own, Order oriented. Annabergite felt a small rush of mingled surprise and annoyance and haste, trying to curl his fingers around the starseed.
Maybe he could get out of there before whoever it was got here.

As it turned out for the Lieutenant, he wasn't going to be quick enough with his execution. Instead, Hy-Brasil found him as he was arm deep within the man's chest, toying with the starseed within. It was like an immediate flare of anger rushed over her and the initial tiredness that had been wanting to claim her was pushed to the wayside.
"If you know what's best for yourself, you'll leave the poor man's starseed right where it is." She called out as she hopped down from the rooftop she had utilized as a straight route to the agent. And it was a good thing she had. If she'd taken her time, she may have arrived to find a corpse.
Her weapon summoned, she white knuckled the handle of the incense burner as she eyed the lieutenant and his prey down. It was amazing that the man hadn't awoken to the touch on his starseed. Hy knew for a fact how painful it could be, but the smell of liquor was abundent enough to indicate that a drunken stupor was probably saving the man from feeling the fingers grasp onto his soul. "If you let him go, I may just let you walk out of here." She said as she walked forward, her weapon ready to be utilized like a baseball bat towards his head.

Annabergite made a noise of impatient frustration as there was a click of heels on pavement and a figure appeared from up above, dropping down below to where he was. He couldn't see her very well from his crouched down position, but the power signature was evidence enough of both her alignment and her strength.
Neither of them seemed particularly appealing.
"But whyyy?" Annabergite said plaintively, and then recoiled as the woman pulled something out of the air - an incense burner? Not really a weapon, he thought - though Annabergite couldn't really say much, considering he had a rubber flower currently.
He didn't pull his hand from the starseed just yet, Annabergite eyeing her.
"Who are you? What are you?"

What was this agent? Some sniveling child that needed to be obnoxious in his way of communicating? That's plaintive wail was enough to grate on her nerves, but toss in the fact that this man still had a hand in the unconcious man's chest was ticking her off. It brought up far too recent memories. The mere idea of seeing another person go limp as their very life was pulled from them was just about enough to make her attack. The only problem with that execution would be the agents reflexes having him pull away from the man and taking the starseed with him.
Then, a curious thing was asked, which caused a red brow to rise. "What am I?" This agent had to be joking. Surely he had seen other knights or senshi around before. This couldn't possibly be the first time he was seeing someone of the opposing faction? And, even if it was, he wouldn't be out here on the field without some sort of knowledge, would he? Geez, what a poor sap. Awakened as chaos and then forced into a war he knew absolutely nothing about.
That small shred of pity for the agent prompted the squire to answer. If nothing else, he will at least learn something today. "Hy-Brasil, Squire of Earth and if you will, get your hand away form that mans' starseed." She said coldly as she walked towards him. The incense burner in her hand given a twirl or two as if to emphasis her intent with it. "I don't intend to watch him die here. Now. Let. Him. Go."

In retrospect, it was probably a better idea not to tick off the Order members. Obsidian had warned him, after all, and Annabergite had at least tried to be a good, morally upstanding member of the Negaverse (sort of). He had at least attempted to follow his General's orders.
Still. There was a time and a place for everything.
Annabergite made a face. "That sounds a lot like a mouthful," he said, turning over the title Hy-Brasil, Squire of Earth inside of his head over and over several times before it actually stuck. "What are you, some sort of fancy fuddy duddy do-gooder? The Order really is full of all kinds, aren't you?"
He gave a dramatic sigh, theatrically wiggling his free hand at the same time as he clenched the fingers in the man's chest a little tighter around the starseed.
"Sorry, sweetheart. I don't follow your orders."
Then he yanked.

A fancy fuddy duddy do-gooder? And he thought my name and title was a mouth full?
She didn't get to ruminate on that long. No sooner had he made it clear his intentions was the starseed ripped from it's owner and sitting in his hand. The civilian was left barely alive, if at all, as his entire body seemed to slump even further.
"b*****d!" She yelled at him. How DARE he!
Hy-Brasil reacted. She reacted before she even registered what she was doing but she put her Squire speed and strength to the test as she rushed to close the distance between her at the Lieutenant. The scrape and pounding of her boots the oncoming warning that an attack was imminent.
Raising her incense burner up as if it were a club she swung it downwards at the crouched man. Eyes full of anger and hate as she zoned in on him. She needed to get that starseed back. She needed to return it to it's proper place and she'd be damned if she let this Negaverser get away with such a horrific act!

Oops. He'd made her angry.
Annabergite hastily backstepped, the starseed still clutched in his hand as he threw both of them up in an automatic gesture of wait wait wait no touchie. A part of him wondered if just maybe he shouldn't have provoked her - but then again, this was just part of being in the Negaverse, plus he had a quota to fill, plus he was kind of excited about pulling a starseed, plus he looked damn good in this uniform, plus -
The incense burner swung towards him, and Annabergite gave a squawk of outrage as he scrambled to get out of the way, but he wasn't fast enough; the thing crashed into his shoulder, a burst of pain ricocheting all the way up and down Annabergite's arm, his fingers shaking a little as he gripped tighter to his prize.
"That hurt!"
The tone of indignation was genuine, Annabergite clambering up, staggering a little as his free hand flew up to grip his throbbing arm. "What even is that thing, I don't think it's supposed to be used that way, you know, like, I'm pretty sure you're just supposed to light candles or something."
He swung a leg forward, trying to kick her, Annabergite's knee aimed towards the knight's stomach.

She wasn't going to give him the privledge of an answer to his question. If he couldn't damn well figure it out by the shape and the smell of sandalwood incense that it was an incense burner, well that was on him. she was not at interested or inclined to give him an education about the use of her 'weapon'. How she handled it was up to her, and Hy had learned she could handle using the burner as a bludgeoning tool very well. After all, who couldn't use a bat?
The Lieutenant attempt to retaliate with a kick and Hy squatted into the attack as she used her forearms to block it. That was a simple enough manuver to learn when she first began to learn basic fighting and self defense. It worked to take power out of the blow as she was grounded, but also defend a more vital part of her body while her arms took the brunt. Of course, fighting a normal person and fighting an officer were two different matters. The Lieutenants kick, though blocked, made her clench her teeth at the jarring pain that radiated in her arms as she took a step back form the blow.
"I don't care what the hell you think right now." She said as she lowered her arms back down into a defensive stance. "Right now all I care about is that starseed in your hand, and you better not damn well BREAK IT while fighting me! I swear you won't walk away from here if that happens."
That fiery, irish temper was in full force as she made a grab at the hand holding the precious starseed. If only she could get it away from him and back to it's rightful place she wouldn't have to worry about damaging it.

He wasn't normally someone who swore like a sailor, but at present, Annabergite would have considered it - especially at the way that the knight was swinging that damn thing towards him, apparently aiming to clock him in the head with it.
Or maybe elsewhere. Annabergite really didn't want to find out.
His kick to her leg went awry, smacking into her forearms instead, the move parried with ease. He knew, at the very least, that even if she was more magically strong than he was, he had the tiniest sliver of an advantage when it came to physical strength.
Maybe. Possibly.
Actually, at the present moment, he wasn't even sure of that anymore.
Annabergite staggered backwards, unsteady, trying to catch his balance again, his chest heaving for breath. He clutched the starseed a little tighter and held it protectively to his chest, a look of outrage coming across his face as he glowered at her.
"This is mine, and I'm not going to break it, I need it - hey!"
The woman's fingers were scrabbling at his hand, trying to pry his fingers apart, snatching at his wrist. Annabergite stumbled, back hitting the brick wall of the alleyway, and made an inarticulate - and ungraceful - squawking noise, trying to wrench his hand free.
"Get - off - me - !"

"Fat chance." She growled at him as he stumbled backward with her still attached to him. Now she had the wall to use as leverage against him.
She was well aware how the officers sported above average strength but she was banking on the fact she was of higher rank and maybe, just maybe, they were the same in that department. If nothing else, she had him pinned for the time being.
Using her free hands forearm she pressed against the top part of his chest, right under the clavical as her other hand worked to try and pry his finger from the starseed that he coveted.
"You need to learn to not play with things that don't belong to you." She rumbled at him as she worked to squeeze her finger into his fist. She felt the smooth surface of the starseed as a finger brushed against it, but she could find no more.

Annabergite did not appreciate this. Or really enjoy this anymore, because it had started off as playful, and now he was being shoved against the wall by an incredibly angry, redheaded knight, and he was pretty sure this was a Very Bad Thing with all capital letters.
Her arm was pressing against his chest, not hard enough to be crushing, but hard enough to make him gasp for breath, Annabergite still scrabbling to free himself, trying to pry her away from him. Her free hand was tight on his own, and his grasp was weakening; in spite of the boost of strength the Negaverse gave him, there was no denying that her power level was above his.
"It was mine," Annabergite protested hoarsely, still pushing at her. "Hey - "
His fingers slackened entirely. The starseed tumbled free, bounced off of Annabergite's knee and landed on the ground, rolling merrily away into the darkness, glowing pleasantly.
"s**t - "
He tried to make a break for it, Annabergite lunging in the direction, prying at the knight's arm.

"Not anymore it isn't!" She hissed.
The starseed fell from the officers hand and Hy-Brasil held her breath momentarily as it managed to soften it's blow by hitting Annabergite's knee before continuing it's own attempt towards freedom. It continued to blare out its location as it glowed brightly as it rolled away.
"No you don't, b*****d!" She yelled as she felt the pull and twist as her 'captive' tried to free himself from her grasp. Clawing at her hands and arms to get to his goal. His attempts worked as his pushing and clawing forced her to try and reposition her grip and footing resulting in her slipping. "******** cursed.
Instead of trying to reclaim her hold on the officer she instead scrambled to get ahold of the rolling starseed knowing damn well that the Lieutenant was also scrambling for the same thing.
Kuropeco We can bring this to a close if you like! I am OK with Hy getting it or not and having Annabergite getting away. smile
