Altea wasn’t difficult to track down. The crystals were like breadcrumbs and lead from the library to a room atop a narrow stairwell. There were no guards to defend the path to her personal realm now.
Along the way, the castle trembled violently several times. Destruction seemed imminent, and each new shockwave felt like a push towards the Queen. She had sequestered herself as far away from the Senshi as she could in a room atop one of the tallest spires of her castle. Up here, there were windows—only, every one of them had unbreakable crystals covering them. While the outside world was hidden from them, sometimes a faint light seemed to filter through, only to disappear shortly after.
It only took a few moments to find her, but they had been harrowing. Debris fell from the ceiling and the crystals had grown over much of the terrain, making it increasingly more difficult to traverse.
But she was there, in some room that might have once been another ballroom. Only, now it seemed like a storage room—full of crystals.
The crystals she had been feeding them.
Mountains of them lined all sides of the room and some stacks were almost halfway up to the ceiling.
Altea was across the room, directly in front of them. Though her back was to them, it was clear that she had settled herself in front of a pile of crystals and was shoving them into her mouth as quickly as she could. An energy signature spiraled around her, smothering the room—smothering them. It wasn’t like anything on Earth; it was unstable and tumultuous.
She seemed to realize they were there, though; she half turned and looked at them with wide-eyed fear. Her voice almost seemed to tremble as she called, “Have you come to kill me?”
Though Altea stood stoic, something on her moved. A strange edge appeared on her dress, just around her shoulder. The fabric shifted, stretched, and then tore as a crystal shard rapidly grew from her flesh.
It was only the first of many that began to appear around her body. Another crystal on her hip, this one more like a crystal than any mere stone, seemed to slice through her skin, her dress.
She let out a ragged breath, and as another crystalline mirror split from her elbow, she screamed and dropped to her knees.
Her head hung and her eyes seemed unfocused.
Suddenly, a dark laugh fell from her lips. She reached for another crystal.
“You’re too late,” she choked.
Maybe they were.
Quote: You have a small window to attack Altea before her plan kicks into motion! It seems like she’s already focused on Earth and is just about to focus on you. Talking probably isn’t going to do anything at this point in time, so you need to strike hard and strike fast, before Altea is able to access all of that power she just ingested. This will be an RNG based battle! Altea has a set amount of hit points, so please use the RNG according to the rank your character has obtained! You may roll once every twelve hours to attack (though you can roleplay between attacks). If you make a mistake, please don’t delete a post; just write ‘void’. Character stats and rules are listed below: Quote: Basic Senshi: 50 HP, use the random number generator to determine attack power; lowest number: 5, highest number: 15. Super Senshi: 65 HP, use the random number generator to determine attack power; lowest number: 10, highest number: 20. Eternal Senshi: 80 HP, use the random number generator to determine attack power; lowest number: 15, highest number: 25 Royal Senshi: 100 HP, use the random number generator to determine attack power; lowest number: 20, highest number: 30 In each post, please use the following form at the top of your post to keep up with your stats: [b](Character rank and name)[/b]
[b]HP:[/B]
[B]Action:[/b] N/A [color=red][b](you will only fill this out if you are using your bonus roll [i]or[/i] your Mirrorshard in a post; in all other posts this should say N/A. This post is just to make sure we don’t miss anything! Information about bonus actions are below)[/b][/color] At any one point in time, you may decide for your character to use a super powered version of their attack. Basic Senshi will get +5 to one roll, Super Senshi will get +10 to one roll, Eternal Senshi will get +15 to one roll, and Royal Senshi will get +20 to one roll. If you are using your bonus, include this in bold red in the ‘Action’ part of the form at the top of your post. Each character is assumed to have one Mirrorshard on them; you may use this to restore +5 health to you or another Dark Mirror Senshi. Make sure you get permission before using the shard on a character you do not own! If you are using your shard, include this in bold red in the ‘Action’ part of the form at the top of your post. If your hitpoints fall to 0, you cannot attack for the rest of the battle. You can decide why your character is no longer attacking (either because they have become knocked unconscious or are simply too injured to battle, or any other reason they could be justifiably incapacitated). Anyone whose hitpoints are reduced to 0 CAN be revived with a Mirrrorshard, though each will only restore 5 HP. For the purpose of this battle, you have access to all sets of your magic [meaning, if you have unlocked them, then you can theoretically use the max usages all of your basic, super, eternal and royal magic attacks without falling unconscious]. If your character has a buff/heal type magic instead of an offensive magic, you may sacrifice attacking Altea once every twelve hours to instead use your magic; because all magic is different and will need to be assessed individually, if you would like to know what your magic can do, please PM the mule with your character’s rank, and the attacks you would like us to consider numbers for. Healing magic will be adjusted to reward a set number of HP, and buffs of other non-offensive magic will be adjusted according to rank.

Eternal Sailor Acubens
HP: 80
Action: N / A
Acubens watched the whole horror picture play out before her. Altea was not herself -- probably hadn't been for millennia if the pages from the books were anything to go by -- but she was different even then what she had shown them. She had been collected and calm when they had known her. It was easy to see how Kibby had fallen in love with such a woman. Enough to attack her own kind for the sake of Altea's safety. She looked over at the younger senshi with pity. It must have been heart breaking to see someone that she adored so deeply descending into this madness. And to see that it was your own court who had driven her to such lengths. Acubens made a mental note to connect with her after the battle was over for some intense aftercare.
Now, however, there was something else that she needed to help her court handle. She turned to Chione and watched her for a long moment. God she was so pretty. And Acubens was so stupid. Maybe if this was the only time she had put her court first, it would have been alright. But she had chosen to do that every single step of the way, and now that she didn't have a choice... this felt like goodbye.
Acubens would break up with her too.
There wasn't anything she could say to Chione to make this choice better... so she didn't bother. She didn't even bother smiling through the moisture in her eyes. How could she? If she did that... it felt like it would be insulting. So she only found Chione's eyes and went back over her choices for a moment... not that she had one. Acubens' only ranged attack was likely to hit everyone around her. She couldn't stay where she was and attack... it wasn't a choice to do what she was about to do... it was the only conclusion she could come to.
Until something tapped against her toe, glittering from the floor. It drew Acubens' eye to it and for a long moment she stood, looking at the floor as her brain came down from the mental work up of what she was about to do. When she bent down to pick it up, she knew that she had been saved. That her relationship with Chione had been saved. It was hefty in her hand. Not heavy per-say... but it had bulk. It would fly.
"Hey Queenie," she called. "Eat s**t!" And she let one sparkling crystal fly after another, chucking them hand over hand like a kid in a snowball fight.

Basic, Sailor Logos
HP: 50/50
Action: N / A
Logos could feel the adrenaline pumping through her body like liquid fire. Her father had thoughtfully prepared her for break-ins or assaults on the street due to the color of her skin. She'd grown up thinking she, too, would one day be powerful like her father. Strong, unwavering, unyielding. Logos thought she was on that very path, working towards that very goal each and every day.
No training could have prepared her for this.
Dutifully she followed the others up the tower, to try and track down and end Altea once it had been clear that she was a danger to the Court and possibly to the rest of the world? Logos had considerably difficulty believing any of this was real in the first place. Magic? Other worlds? Queens in towers hellbent on devouring crystals and becoming monsters??
If she could go back in time and tell herself this, she wouldn't believe it.
But it was right before her very eyes.
Logos followed Acubens' lead in attacking the Queen - not with magic, but punches and kicks. She knew, as a mere cadet, she was expendable. Already injured and bleeding and afflicted with crystallization, Logos knew her time was limited. She knew her contribution would be minimal, and that other Court members were more powerful that she was.
She was at peace with that.
Logos believed she could still contribute somewhat, and perhaps even protect Lesath, the one who brought her into all of this. No one could have foreseen these circumstances, where the Court was fighting for its very life. Logos was a fighter - that was her purpose - and so, she fought. Tooth and nail and fist.

Basic, Kibirev
HP:50/50
Action: N/A
Kibirev had wanted to be the first one to reach the queen, to warn her of what was coming, to try and protect her from the other senshi.
Altea didn’t deserve the attack that was surely coming.
But the time she reached the room, however…she wasn’t alone at all and Altea looked…horrible. So sad and so defeated…and she almost sounded like she was…giving up. Saying they were too late to kill her because…she was already…
No. No, Kibirev wouldn’t let that happen. Absolutely not. She hoped the others would try to help Altea…try to save her from whatever was happening…but no, the stupid violent senshi just started throwing things at her queen.
Enraged, Kibirev swung around to look at Lovejoy. “I swear, if you attack Altea, we won’t be friends anymore, Lovejoy.” The words were harsh, much harsher than the way she normally talked to her best friend…but this was something they hadn’t faced before.
Quickly, the senshi moved over to Acubens and drew her fist back. She might not be a violent person…but right now…she felt like she could do anything. And so she punched. Aiming right for the purple clad senshi’s face. “Stop hurting her!”

Basic, Sailor Sadalsuud
HP: 50/50
Action: N/A
Like others from her Court, Sadalsuud had found herself making her through the space that had once held the door trapped by crystal, the violent shaking eerily reminiscent of the collapsing room in mirrorspace that had started all this.
The one that Queen Altea had saved them from–
Although had she really?
She couldn't help the doubts that built up along with all the other doubts, as she tried to keep by Sinope whilst trying her best not to stumble as the castle continued to violently tremble.
And to an extent she managed, not gracefully, a couple of awkward flails along the way when the trembles took her by surprise.
It wasn't hard to find where Queen Altea had gone, the crystals painting a trail very much like the pebbles that Hansel had first thrown down in Hansel and Gretel - albeit one that was more colourful...
And that came with debris falling from the ceiling.
Eventually however, they found the Queen, in a room full of crystals that looked very, very familiar.
Horribly familiar.
The stacks and stacks of them forming a veritable mountain.
She turned at their approach and for a moment Sadalsuud could almost see the kind woman who had helped them, who she thought have saved them - but then the moment shattered, the woman laughing darkly reminding her of the woman who had locked them in with Taran and Sadalsuud knew that they had to stop her–
Knew that even if it was too late that they had to try.
It didn't seem like a good idea to throw the crystals at her as some of the others were opting to do, so instead Sadalsuud tried to see if she could find some debris with the intention of keeping her attempted throw low - because she wanted to stop Queen Altea and not kill her...
And as she did so she felt tears p***k at her eyes and felt the trail of wetness as it slid down her cheek because she hated this.
She hated this, even though she knew that it was necessary.
"I'm a horrible person" and the quietly spoken words were a whisper.
xxKitomyx thanks for letting me keep her by him :3

Eternal Senshi Avior of Walls
HP: 80
A strange sort of prickly feeling always came across Avior's skin when there was a fight impending. It traveled from his arms to his fingertips and straight back up to his heart and lungs, making it hard to breath. This wasn't the time for doubts, however, and he trekked on, Kiuchi on his arm and Crocus by his side. Every so often they had to stop for the Senshi of Gorgons, and he pitied him for it. He did not blame him in the least for getting injured, no one could have predicted that, but he did feel sympathy for the fact that he knew what it felt like to feel as if you were a burden on others. Avior did not speak of it though, only helped the boy up and led him on as needed, giving Crocus a small smile each time they continued onwards.
It seemed like all at once they found her, crazed and angry and reeking of a chaos that felt like brick upon p***k upon brick was layered on them, weighing them down.
Avior had had enough. There was sympathy for the witch anymore, not when she so clearly wanted them dead. This all could have been avoided had she spoken, had she not *lied* to them. Cosmos was right in ignoring her. It wasn't her duty to save them, it was the Dark Mirror Courts, for they used the same power as she did, and a crazed hound, no matter how strong, needed to be put down if they were a risk. And the gods knew she was, not only to them, but to all the worlds she dared invade.
He pulled away from Kiuchi after giving him a soft squeeze to the arm, and a half nod to Crocus, before running over to the largest crystal he could, picking it up, and throwing it at her as hard as his mighty arms could.
She would go down. She would NOT hurt any other planets.
21 Damage inflicted.

Sailor Crocus
HP: 50/50
Action: N/A
The trek to Altea had not been an easy one. The ceiling was crumbling, the floor was shaking, and it all made for a very unstable trek toward Altea. Honestly though, they probably had her to thank for being able to break through to get to her. If, in her tantrum, the door hadn't broken, they wouldn't have a way to get to her. To see her become some sort of mutated crystal monster in front of them. It was probably one of the most horrifying things he had ever seen and he loved horror movies. There was some very different about watching a movie though and seeing something in real life. Crocus only had a moment to feel sick though, before they started to launch attacks.
Many people were keeping a distance from her at the moment, that much he could agree on. Who knew what would happen if they stepped up to her. Of course, he knew she was likely to just throw her own crystal at them. He found a sort of irony in the fact that many were throwing her own crystals at her for a change. Avior beside him found a large one to throw, Crocus settled for picking up several of the smaller ones and tossing them at the Queen.
He would look for an opening at some point to use his magic, but for now he stayed closer to Avior and the other members of his court. He didn't want to get knocked out by her during their first wave of attacks If they were lucky, this would be enough to stun her in some way.

Super Sailor Elsa
HP: 65
Action: N/A
Elsa was, as he tended to be in these situations, pissed. There was little telling how long they had been trapped here, and while he could feel pity in his heart for the woman Altea had been, there was none left for the monster she had become.
She felt like raw power, and he hesitated for a moment, but -- no. She needed to die. Earth needed to survive, and she would drain it dry and turn them all into crystal servants, and there was no way Elsa was going to let that happen.
He whispered a prayer under his breath, wishing he had his Magen David necklace to hold for support, but he couldn't power down and waste time powering back up.
He couldn't be sure his magic would be useful, but his fists always were.
He looked Acubens dead in the face, blue-and-orange eyes bright and intense.
"Stay with Chione. Keep her safe." He said, and then he turned to his sister. "Don't do anything I would do."
He ran forward, throwing himself in a full on bodyslam at the Queen.

Sailor Asmodeus
HP: 50
Action: N/A
Asmodeus stormed forward, determination in every line of her body. She had been scared at first, hesitant, horrified at the realization of what Altea was. What had consumed her. What was in all of them. It had made her quiet in the library, hiding and listening, but now?
Now, she was just pissed. Altea was threatening Earth. Her home. And whatever else there was to say, frankly, for Asmodeus, it came down to one very simple phrase.
Cool motive, still murder.
Altea had destroyed who knew how many lives. She was a monster, and she needed to be put down.
So once she could get a grip on a crystal, Asmodeus scooped it up and flung it as hard as she could.

Eternal Sailor Tantalus
HP: 80
Action: N/A
A tragedy. As far as Tantlaus was concerned, that was what the story of Altea and Taran and their doomed galaxy came down to - an agonizingly human tragedy, and one that it was all too easy to see the seeds of. He had been quiet in the library, listening to the tale of her descent into madness, because something in it resonated with him.
All she had wanted to do was help her people. They had been sick, dying, and she had gone looking for answers, and...
If it had been Quinn, or Lance, or Cassandra, or the twins? Tantalus was not sure it was easy for him to say he would do anything different. He would go to the ends of the Earth, to the ends of the universe, for the people he loved.
That was what Altea had done, and the result was before them. Madness.
She had been destroyed by her desire to save.
And now the only choice left was to end her pain.
So Tantalus picked up one of the crystals and tested the heft in his hand, and threw it, hard, the way he threw his magic. He could at least say that for all his other failings in combat, he had a decent throwing arm.
