Adamantine's hunt for the night was going exceedingly well considering that destiny city was filled to the brim with annoying order signatures of varying kind. To not run into a Knight or a Senshi was unheard of. It made the hair on her neck stand on end, reminding her that they could appear at any time and if they did, Aura or not, she should not be cocky.
She dragged the latest of her victims back into the back part of the house. She had come to the neighborhood, known for it's more poverty stricken residents. She had seen a man following a woman and her child in the dark, and chose him for starseed extraction.
The woman and child remained alive but drained of their energy, because she would not waste the hunt tonight. She didn't have to kill everyone, but she wasn't some mercy angel.
So she dragged the man back away from them, and calling their drain in to the police as suspicious activity. It wasn't a good deed, but it would draw some attention to the pair that she didn't have to deal with. Before the police would come, she needed to leave.

It wasn’t often that Gelria found himself in this part of the city, but for some reason, here he was tonight, and he was thinking about turning and heading back towards the better part of town when he felt something that made him pause.
So, chaos infected even the scummy places, hm? He supposed it shouldn’t been such a surprise…but honestly if he had been a part of the Negaverse…he would target the wealthier areas…it would be so easy…no, that was not the appropriate thought for a time like this at all.
Whoever this was, they were utter scum, and it was his job to drive them out and shut them down.
Quietly, he jumped off the roof he was on and landed almost catlike on the ground, stopping himself from tasting the dirt only by one hand thrust out to stop him from tumbling over. Standing he glanced around, looking for the source of the energy he felt and as he saw the copious amounts of really…really fluffy pretty hair, he almost hesitated.
There were rules about fighting girls but…
But did it really matter when you were in a war? Maybe not. “Hey. You up to no good? I bet you are, aren’t you?” As much as he wanted to…Gelira couldn’t bring himself to just…attack without having a good reason but…
But then she saw the…the hopefully just unconscious man and his hands balled into fists. “Of course you are. You’re just a twisted ******** like the rest of them, aren’t you?

"The definition of no good is relative to the eye of the beholder." Adamantine had not felt the aura that quickly popped on her radar in time to teleport away from the scene. She turned, dropping the man and tilting her head at the senshi, with his....unique attire.
The white was blinding to her, to be honest, even if she shared the same amount in the color of her hair. She much preferred her dark starry looks to the whites.
"Do you all ask the same question?" She hadn't met a senshi or knight....besides a polaris knight, that had gone straight to fighting. She didn't allow much of an answer, as she used the small space to teleport towards him, a hand drawn back to pierce his vital point in either his neck or shoulder.
She would not waste time, no. The police would be here soon and the last thing she needed was to cause the negaverse to call in...'favors'

“Well, yeah I would think so. I mean, it’s not a hard—what the ********!” He hadn’t even thought about the fact that these people could teleport and when her hand was suddenly in his face, her face was suddenly in his face, he did the only thing he could think of and reached his arms out, shoving with all of his might.
“Christ you dumb b***h!” Gelria’s heart was thudding loudly in his ears and he felt just a few prickles of fear begin to start up.
With his hands still extended he shook his head. “I don’t need this crap. You’re a monster, and I was just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I guess my first instinct was right after all…that’s kind of a shame. Cinnamon Storm!”
His attack was strong, he still remembered how it had hurt Chara, and a small pang of guilt washed through him, though he pushed it roughly away. This wasn’t someone on his side. This was someone who was poisoned by darkness…and who liked it. Or at least that was how it seemed.
“I don’t want to hurt you…so just…fix that guy, and I’ll go, okay?”
It was nicer than he needed to be, but still…perhaps this wasn’t her fault. Perhaps she just…didn’t know what else to do.
Or perhaps she was just a monster and he was trying to find excuses because she was pretty.

She got a chance to hit him, if only he hadn't shoved her away. His magic was quickly casted after that and she could've kicked herself for allowing it to happen. Her own magic was annoying as is, she hated facing the other senshi's magic. The air filled with cinnamon and she could feel her eyes, mouth and nose drying out, a sneeze escaping as her eyes watered. She brought her sleeve up to cover her eyes as she tried to think of a way....out of this.
Aggression obviously wasn't going to work, so perhaps she could use what Stella or Alkaid taught her. She gritted her teeth, settling on the voice before using it.
"Why are you hurting me?" She said from under the covered eyes, her voice was small and quivering. "He was stalking them. All I did was drain his energy so he couldn't hurt them anymore. He already knocked them out when I had come..." She rubbed at her eyes, using the tears caused from the cinnamon. "He could've killed them. I even called the police and ambulances..." Sirens started to wail in the distance.
She just needed to Gelria to move closer to her. Isn't that what boys do? They comforted girls. She just wanted him to move a bit closer.
Her voice quivered one more time, "I stopped him from hurting them, and you attacked me. Are white moon senshi always like this?" She kept her face covered, because among her acting, there was something she could never change. Underneath that arm was the cold calculating face of someone who wouldn't hesitate to kill everyone here.

The guilt only grew when the corrupt spoke, and for a moment, Gelria wished he had been given different powers. Any sort of different powers…his were just to…
…Mean.
When the sirens began, panic started to set in, panic and a fresh wave of guilt and Gelria hesitantly moved closer, reaching to put a hand on the girl’s shoulder. “Hey…I’m sorry…I…I didn’t know…” Maybe that was why they always asked the questions. That was why the white moon didn’t just go in, guns blazing…all of the time, at least.
It wasn’t…noble to hurt someone without a just cause…and sure she had tried to attack him first but…but now she was crying and it was all his fault.
“C-come on, we should get out of here before the police show up…right? And..the magic doesn’t last too long…you should be better in no time…and if it hurts later, just put a cool damp washcloth over your eyes, it helps a lot. Or at least enough to take out whatever sting might remain…”
He had the strangest urge to touch her hair, to see if it really was as soft as it felt. There was just something about white hair that…drew him in.
Strange.

"You accused me first." Adamantine whispered, "White moon senshi always attack first, I didn't want to do it, I just didn't want to get hurt first." She sniffed again as he drew closer. The flinch though, from him touching her was real, and she moved her face away to not look at him. Her body shifted from the touch, mostly because she despised strangers touching her.
"I want to leave." She nodded and took a step with him. "But you can't come with me." She whispered her magic, "Stardust Storm." As dust fell from the heavens into her palm and she blew it towards him.
Once he had been blinded, she pushed him away from her and teleported away, right in front of the child and woman. She had no plans to take their starseeds but....with the police so close now and a white moon senshi here, she could do her best to frame a tragic event.
Her hands dug into both of their chest, ripping starseeds away before she teleported again, this time on the rooftop facing Gelria.
"Let this be a lesson white moon." Adamantine's voice was back to its blank monotone, "Before your interference the woman and child would've lived. After now, well...." her smile was razor sharp, "I guess they are just one more fatality caused by you order senshi. Enjoy the police."

Gelria hesitated, pulling his hand away as she flinched…did she think he was going to attack again? That wasn’t…
Then she was using her own magic, and he was cursing his stupidity. As he frantically rubbed his eyes, trying to get out whatever dust of hers that had managed to clog them, he felt her leave his side, though she remained close and when he finally managed to blink slowly, still rubbing at his eyes, he saw her back again, starseeds in hand.
“Wait...” His voice was hoarse, head beginning to shake. “No, wait, please. I’m sorry. Please don’t take your anger at me out on them. You’re right, I was wrong to accuse you, but…but you said so yourself that they did nothing wrong…they’re just innocents…”
Gelria swallowed hard and drew in a breath. “Please. You can take my energy instead, it’s not the same but…please. Don’t make them pay for my mistakes…”
He wasn’t sure if he could stand to have something like this weighing on him…though a small voice in the back of his head told him to just attack her and be done with it…she might be bluffing. What if she had taken their starseeds to begin with and was just…taunting him…?
Of course that’s what must have happened. She was a monster, just like they all were. No matter that she looked innocent…she was nothing more than a monster…and yet, here he was, begging for her to have mercy.
One hand balled into a fist and Gelria drew in a breath, trying to steady his rising anger.

"I'm not angry." She looked at him, "But you are, and only a fool would come back. What's done is done, and could've been avoided." She cocked her head at him.
"Good bye, Little cinnamon senshi. Next time we meet, I will be not so favorable." She teleported just as cops pulled in on the otherside of the building, coming out to scour the surroundings.
Her form was already far off though, three starseeds and two energy orbs for the evening. a better haul then she had original. She had to thank Gelria for that, now didn't she.
