Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hikari snuck out of her bedroom careful to wait until her twin sister, Akari, was asleep. She didn't like leaving her sister out of her magical adventures but she didn't want to risk her getting hurt. She promised herself that when she was strong enough she would tell Hikaru and maybe even Taiki-nii, of all her older siblings she felt like he would understand the most, about her powers.

After slipping out of the house she pulled out her henshin pen, a part of her wondered why senshi used so many Japanese words not that she was complaining Japanese was a lot easier than English anyways. "Tachibana power make up." She called out as she spun around being enveloped by light. Soon she stood as chibi sailor tachibana.

As she was walking down the street she felt a large pure aura of a transcended eternal nearby. She quickly made her way over to the source of the aura and was very happy to see a familiar face.

"Ida-nee!" She squealed happily as she ran over to the woman stopping short as she remembered her manners and bowed to the woman. "Thank you again for saving me from that scary general obaasan." She was very grateful to the older senshi for saving her from a general when she was awakened.

After bowing Tachibana was quick to wrap her arms around the older woman in a quick hug. She nodded her head as she released the woman.

"uh huh. I meet this really nice older senshi girl and she's been teaching me alot of stuff." She said pantomiming some fighting moves.

"oh but I haven't gone to my planet yet?" She admitted.

"Her name is Elvira. She's super nice and cool." She was fond of the her teenage mentor. She was teaching her how to be a good magical girl and she was very appreciative of that.

Tachibana smiled with a fox's grin. "Nope!" She said shaking her head. "I read about it on my phone." She was personally proud of her pro-activity.

"Really!?" She bouncing with excitement. "I was kinda scared to go on my own but if come with me I know it'll be ok." She took the older woman's hand. "I just have to press this button right." She showed her phone to the senshi.

"Oh really thats so cool." She said bouncing a little at the revelation. She was happy to know the older senshi was like her and Ida.

"Ok!" She squeezed the older girls hand as she pushed the button. The pair quickly disappeared from the earth.

They reappeared in a old city street, it looked like some of the more traditional Japanese cities like Kyoto. However the wooden buildings were run down and falling apart they were also over grown with vines and weeds. She looked up and saw a path that lead up to what looked like an old castle, sort of like a shoguns castle. The path leading up to it had 8 golden tori gates, it seemed like the only place still in a decent condition.

"Why is everything broken?" She asked Ida confused and a little sad to see her planet in this condition.

She nodded as she listened to Ida's explanation. " I promise I'll take really good care of it then. I want everything to come back to life." She said with the kind of confidence only a child possess.

"That place looks ok we should go there." She said pointing to the castle. She always wanted to visit a castle and this was her chance. She start heading towards the castle tugging Ida along by the hand.

As they reached the castle's big doors Tachibana let go of Ida's hand as she tried to push the heavy wooden door. It slowly opened with alot of effort she pushed it open and was rewarded with a face full of dust. She coughed and sputtered.

With the door open she took a tentative step into the darkened entry way. As she was looking around at the faded furnishing she didn't notice the black ooze dripping down a wall and coalescing behind her.

"Hmm" She thought hard about which way to go, she didn't know this place and it wasn't even like she really had something she was looking for. "I guess lets go that way." She said pointing to a random hallway.

The black ooze had taken form, specifically it took the form of the two senshi. The one withe the form of Tachibana lunged at the young senshi its fingers taking on the form of claws. The girl turned in time for only her arm to be sliced.

"Ahh!" She cried in pain and surprise. She jumped back from her assailant. "What is that?!" She cried.

The creature moved to attack her. " Tachibana Thousand Petal Vortex!" She called out the name of her magic as a vortex of golden petals struck the monstrous copy.

Having changed into something more comfortable for around the house, Melody had flopped back against her bed to just enjoy the recharge of being home. She loved her job immensely but some days the enthusiasm of the lovely family who owned the bathhouse could be a little much. The plans for the rest of the evening originally was going to be finish recharging in the familiarity of her room then probably continue to work on that new musical piece she was learning before bed.

But it seemed there were other things in store instead.

Brown eyes opened at the feel of something tugging metaphysically at her. Almost like a calling and at first she worried it was like the raid on the Negaverse all over again. It felt different, however, more urgent? Well she certainly wasn't going to turn that feeling down.

As she moved to stand up, Sailor Lacrimosa now stood where the civilian form had been and the basic senshi almost happily accepted the tug wherever it needed her to be.

Space seemed the answer, though where she didn't know. Nor did she seem to know who the senshi were that were well into a fight but that wasn't going to stop her. With no idea what was going on, she moved towards the growing mass of black nastiness and the two senshi fighting it.

Would her attack even do anything to help? She didn't know but it was always worth a try. As small cherry blossoms began to form in her palm, Lacrimosa called out her attack in a clear voice that would make her presence known.

"Sakura Rain!"

And just like that the flowers were blown from their spawn point and in front of her towards the nearest target in hopes it would do something other then make it angry. Sailor Lacrimosa had made the scene.

There. Pasi shoved the last box from this load into place in the storage unit he'd rented in preparation for his new life. Amazing how much s**t one could accumulate, even when one wasn't inclined to hold onto things - but tools were important, as were the documents and equipment carefully packed away into the boxes.

He was snapping the lock shut when he felt it, a familiar sort of calling as when planet Ida had requested aid. But not Ida, no. This was different, but similar. The Finn walked into a blind corner of the building and transformed, answering the call not because he felt any kinship with the 'other Koronids', the White Moon, or even the Order side as it were, but rather because he felt that there might be some merit in studying the Blight as much as possible where opportunity presented itself. And if the Blight were truly something that held only interest in showing up on Koronid asteroids...well, his chances to seek it out and understand it were going to be limited. One had to take one's chances where they came, after all.

Once on the unfamiliar planet, Sailor Aue tried to take in the battle over all to form some sort of tactical plan of attack. He had to ammend this quickly when his eyes fell upon a young girl in white and red tossing...some sort of gaseous mist that was no doubt meant to cause some sort of status effect at the viscous enemies. That's going to be ineffective against them, they don't breathe-- She wasn't going to be able to defend against those monsters with just support magic at her disposal and it was highly unlikely she'd been trained in hand-to-hand or any sort of martial art.

Perkele! It was utterly dangerous and stupid, the way the Order side went about putting children into battle! Aue set his jaw and made his way over to Mimosa, planting himself firmly between her and the oily opponents and taking advantage of the fact that while her attack might not have harmed them the way it may have an opponent that had internal organs, it did distract and confuse, which was good enough for him. Hands out aggressively, he drew up his magic and cast his magic over the rank figures, growling the attack as though the words themselves were a curse: "Petal Flurry!"

He watched with satisfaction as the petals sliced the monsters before turning into acid, and as the acid and poison mixed, eating away at the creatures so they melted. "They don't have organs, so they won't breathe poison." Aue gave Mimosa a considering look, "Seems cuts and acid help your attack. Interesting." Working alone much of the time, Aue had not considered how his magic might work in conjunction with another's casting; it was a fascinating subject and one he might have to pursue more in the future - whatever that future might be.

He would definitely have to include this in his report.
