Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alphubel jumped a bit as another web silently swung by him in the wind. He really, REALLY didn't want to be out here, but with how many webs were appearing Alphubel thought that there might be some people or animals or what have you in trouble and he had felt the urge to go around and see if he could help anyone or anything.

Unfortunately it had been going slow. He kept getting tangled up in webbing and by the time he had gotten the newest piece off, there would already be more, and so it had taken him some time before he had made it to the middle of one of the parks in the city to see if there might be anyone else out here and the closer he had gotten to the park he had felt another aura order and wondered if they either needed help getting out of all of this webbing or wondering if they needed help with... whatever they were doing in the webs.

So far though, he hadn't seen anything yet, either human or animal or youma, he was sure that not only was there some sort of senshi out here, but there was... definitely something else that really wasn't supposed to be here. As loud as he felt that he could shout without attracting a ton of attention,
"H-hello! Anyone out here that needs any help?"

All of the webbing looked the same around it and so it was a bit hard to tell where the response had come from but found someone almost completely covered in webbing. As fast as he could he went over to the webbed person and started to do whatever he could to get the senshi out of the webbing.

"Hold on I'll get you out!" He said as he tried as hard as he could. He tried to use the pointy parts of his lantern to cut the thicker parts of the webbing. Alphubel seemed to be making some progress, however it was slow going. "Uh, I'm Alphubel. I was just checking to see if anyone was out here and I'm glad I found someone!" He said as he finally got the upper-part of the senshi uncovered.

Alphubel continued to work on the senshi's ... white sticky problem. He almost didn't hear Etimin's question as he concentrated on the job but managed to just catch it. "I'm Alphubel and sphere? Oh! I'm not a senshi I'm actually a knight! Well, a squire actually but at least I'm not a page anymore!" He said a bit happily. Though he still didn't feel like he was doing any better at his powered job. After all, he was still just doing the same thing he had done before.

"They're the allies of the senshi... from what it's been described to me. There are certain types of knights like basic planet ones, you know, Mercury, Venus, Earth, etc. and Pluto! Even though that's not considered one of our planets anymore." He was starting to ramble. "And then there are a few other knights that are loyal to some of the other prince/princess senshis. For example I'm a knight, squire of Polaris which is a start but it's surprisingly really cold and-" Alphubel would have continued, but suddenly the feeling of a youma was getting closer...

He wasn't sure where it was coming from, he just knew it was getting closer. "There's something here..." His eyes went wide as he saw a huge, very hairy, with 8 bright red eyes spider right behind Etimin. "Uh... try not to move so much." Alphubel said as he continued to look at it but also worked on the senshi's feet to free them.

"Would you actually believe me if I told you it wasn't one?" Jason asked, his voice going a bit squeaky as he tried to concentrate on breaking the webbing.

That was when the spider decided it would start moving and Jason then desperately went to work on Etamin's feet. And luckily he managed to break the other free! "Etamin we have to move now!" He said, standing up and getting in-between the senshi and the spider. Jason knew he had to do something, but then remembered he could at least distract it for a bit so that they could come up with a plan. "I don't know what you want to do Etamin, but I'm going to distract this thing for a bit and then we can try to attack it or run away." And suddenly the Run Away Sir Robin song popped up in Alphubel's head. Well this was different! It was a GIANT spider!

He held his lantern aloft and concentrated, trying to use the magic. He had only done it a couple of times and hadn't really been able to practice, so this was really the first time he would be using it in combat. Luckily for him, he seemed to be doing it correctly as light began to shine from the lantern, causing the spider to shriek in confusion.

Alphubel was glad that Etamin had taken charge when it came to fleeing the spiders and followed after them, hoping that the spiders weren't just following them.

Eventually though it seemed like they had gotten far enough away. Perhaps the spiders didn't think they were worth the effort? After all, Alphubel was kind of skinny and not so muscly. He took in a few heavy breaths, trying to get some air into his lungs for a bit. He looked at Etamin and nodded. "Yeah, seems that they didn't follow us." After a few more moments he asked, "You okay? You were pretty stuck back there."

Alphubel looked at the lantern that he had put back at his side. "Oh! This is my 'weapon'. Well, I mean it's not actually an offensive or defensive weapon, but with knights our 'weapon' is the means in which we channel our magic. So instead of calling out attacks like senshi, we have to use our weapon to be able to use any magic." He had been surprised when it had changed into such a thing. Though really he hadn't expected the power up anyway considering he hadn't even scratched the surface of his knightly duties other than patrolling and losing a few fights.

"So if we don't have our weapon, we can't use any magic." Luckily that hadn't happened yet, but he had heard of weapons breaking before, which is why he kept his lantern quite guarded next to his person most of the time.

"Correct, so..." Alphubel mused as he could feel something coming closer. It seemed that at least one of the spiders had followed him. It must have been desperate. "How about I shine my light, then you use your attack on it, and then we both start pummeling it as much as we possibly can in the time we have?" He still wasn't exactly sure at what point youma could be dusted and how to do it. It would make more sense if all attacks were physical or ranged, but many, like knights and other senshi, were supportive or defensive, so it confused him a lot.

They didn't have time though to think about it too much, as the aura of the youma spider seemed to be much closer than before. "I think it's coming, or at least close to here."

It seemed as though neither of them had attack magic, but they should be able to dust the spider by hitting them, right? Alphubel raised his lantern, letting the magic flow through him and into it, where it came out as a blinding light, only to the enemy, and the spider shrieked again, clearly totally confused as to what was now going on.

Alphubel kept the magic going, but tried as hard as he could to throw his other fist at it and... it poofed! Or at least as well as a youma spider could 'poof'. He stopped his magic and set his lantern back at his side, looking at Etamin. "Well... looks like we got it. But we should probably go now, I don't think there are any left. Try not to get yourself webbed again, all right?" He said to the other, grinning a bit, now that he could laugh a little at the other being webbed in such a way.

He nodded, before going off, heading back toward his dorms, hoping he wasn't too late for curfew.
