The pillar she stood before was massive and even if she tilted her head back, she couldn't see the very tip with where she was standing. At the veeeeery top was a large bird, peering down at her with six red eyes that blinked out of order so that one set was always staring down at her.
The chain around it's neck had been golden, a familiar looking spade hanging from it that left goosebumps on her skin.
The youma had led her to the pillar, something she found peculiar because it didn't out right attack her, instead, it seemed to herd her towards it and when she had attempted to contact her friends, her phone didn't seem to work.
It was rare that the woman couldn't get a signal even from space but...something, perhaps the pillar itself, was disrupting communications and it made her nervous.
When she had backtracked she had discovered that the further away she got, the better her signal became until she could reach out.
[Group Message:It's D, something's up in the park, come quick.]
She had sent before heading back towards the strange thing. She hadn't seen it before when she'd passed the area before so where did it come from? Was the youma a sign of negaverse activities or....or...she didn't know.

Altais really hadn't been doing anything since the circus event, since witnessing Thor and Zeus had effected him in a way that he hadn't been sure to be effected. Added to that, it was super confusing memories that still messed with his brain because in it, He had been like...super duper crushing on Metis...Lilith and they had been helping each other and....and...
He had been sulking on the roof when the message came from Denebola and he made his way over. The normally sun embedded man just seemed well....a little cloudy.
Seeing Denebola helped though, as he came to give her a hug. "Denebolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." He looked up as soon as he let her go, at the tower. "Is that a new thing. Did they build that for the man who is president now?"
There was a disappearing building in the middle of Destiny City.
As far as her run-ins as a sailor senshi (or so Itsuki had called her), this was the strangest phenomenon she'd come across. Granted, she hadn't really been entirely responsible when it came to patrolling (another thing Itsuki had instructed her to do) but most of that was because.... well....
Sailor Elara had absolutely no one to patrol with.
It seemed like a silly thing, being anxious about walking alone when one was a super hero but the whole concept was still fresh on her mind and she'd never had to use her super powers before... so it made sense, to be a little wary about finding people in need of attacking, right?
Right?
She'd slipped into her guise only hours prior and had noticed the strange obelisk in the distance that... that certainly hadn't been around the last time she looked at DC's skyline. When she powered down, it was gone. Powered up, it was... there.
Itsuki had never mentioned anything about disappearing buildings but curiosity was getting the better of her and she felt, deep down, that it was her responsibility to investigate this strange occurrence.
She only prayed it didn't involve a ton of monsters swarming around the base.
Timidly approaching the building's perimeter, there were thankfully no monsters around but there was a strange set of auras that felt sort of.... comforting, maybe?
Amethyst eyes watched on warily as she took a step forward, slipping out of her alleyway as she baby-stepped her way towards the ominous building and the small number of people gathering beside it.

The Circus hadn't been kind to him, to Melody, Lilith or Khaleel. Was Pern affected too? Did she have her heart and brain messed with like they did? He hoped not, sincerely. Denebola didn't deserve that.
Zach had been buried under the covers, trying to suss out just what had happened when his brain had been fogged and replaced with memories that weren't real and weren't his... when Denebola's text came through. She was something Zach refused to ignore, and despite the huge effort it took to wrench himself from the bed, he did. Shortly thereafter, the boy had snuck out of the house, powered up and made his way to the park.
Finding Denebola, Altais and someone else he'd never seen before at the base of some giant Washington Monument thing, Themisto said the best and most eloquent thing he could think of.

It hadn't taken long for the boys to arrive after receiving her message and when Altais found her, she opened her arms easily to accept his hug. It never mattered how long it'd been since the pair had seen each other, being with the younger man was heartwarming because it reminded her that he was part of her family and was one that stayed.
"I don't know. It's-- When I was getting ready to start my round it wasn't there but then..." She shook her head, carefully pulling away when she realized they weren't alone and that it wasn't Themi that had joined them.
"Hello---Themi!"
Her greeting was cut short when her other boy arrived, crashing onto the scene with a curse. "Language," she scolded, trying to keep a stern face before she inevitably broke and a fond smile crossed her lips when she reached for him. Her two colored gaze flicked back over to the monument and she wrinkled her nose. "That's what we have to find out."

Altais perked a bit as joined him, going over to his brother of well...more then one family it felt like now. "It is a monument is it not?" He smiled at Themi, hugging the other man too. Though the focus WAS the tower, his gaze dropped on the other senshi in their area before smiling at her.
Small remnants of the sunshine showing through.
"HELLO PURPLE SENSHI GIRL, ARE YOU ALSO HERE FOR THE TOWER?" To Dene, he elbowed gently. "Do we know her?"
Themisto jumped and hung his head for a moment at Denebola's loving scolding, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry, Pern. It uh... just felt like the best description of the uh... ya know, Washington Monument that kinda crapped itself here overnight an'..."
Oh, shoot. There's a new person?
The scolded senshi gave her an uneasy smile. Wait, purple senshi? Didn't Itsuki mention he awakened a purple senshi? Then again, how many purple senshi were there? It could've been anyone. "'Ey, uh... sorry about that. I'm Themisto," He placed a hand on his chest to introduce himself. "Are you, uh... new around here? I dunno, I'm not judgin' or anything. The lady of the hour's Denebola and this best dude? This's Altais. Broest of Bros, amirite?"
A playful nudge on Altais' upper arm sealed it. They had both gone through the circus nonsense and survived, possibly closer for it.

The group gathering near the tower all seemed to know one another, practically climbing on top of each other as they cheerfully greeted every oncoming senshi. The young woman seemed to take on the roll of leadership - that or the two boys were hopelessly devoted to their female friend. It was cute, really, up until Elara realized that every single one of them was now staring at her.
Oops.
The blonde practically yelled at her - purple senshi girl, he'd called her. Cheeks lit up as she raised one hand to wave back at him. She... supposed she'd been called worse before, really. She... she was purple, so maybe he meant it as a compliment?
The dark haired boy was quick to follow-up with a proper introduction, making the smile on the young senshi's face widen. Themisto. Denebola. Altais. Broest of Bros.. whatever that meant?
"E-Elara," She said quietly in return before catching herself. No - she was a superhero, superheroes were supposed to be fearless and confident, right?
"Sailor Elara," she said a little louder, doing her best to lift her chin up and seem as confident as she could. "I'm new but I promise I can be helpful - just let me try!"
What she was trying, she wasn't sure... but she wasn't about to make herself look useless in front of all of these seasoned senshi!

Altais's loud greeting drew Denebola's attention to the new comer and she offered a kind smile before detaching herself from her boys and crossing the grass to offer her hand.
"Hi there," her greeting was gentle and she seemed to glance behind at Themisto and Altais as if to say behave. "It's nice to meet you." And she meant it, something that was obvious in the way she held herself. "It's okay to be new you know, we all have to start somewhere."
She remembered how she had to go looking for answers on her own and she hoped that they'd be able to keep others from being forced to do the same. "You're welcome to join us, we've just been--"
Over head, a loud cawing cut the woman off, the large youma bird pushing off the monument, which seemed to react funnily, before it was swooping lower and came to land not too far from the group.
"What rabbit holes are the curious looking to find?" The youma asked and immediately, Denebola moved to place herself in front of the others.

Altais smiled a bit more widely, if he focused on the now and not the crippling pain of his former? Imaginary? life of the circus, then he could be the sunshine he called name to. He elbowed his 'senshi brother' back.
"Broest of bros is a american term! I am cool!" He was bouncing in place, but because Denebola was keeping them behind her, perhaps not to overload the new senshi, he grabbed his bro around the neck and ruffled his hair.
Because thats what bros do.
"New is new and we are not new so it is good to stay with us!" Altais cheered from the back. "ACK, Themisto, what is the giant caw caw thing! Is it going to eat us?" He waited a second, "Wait Denebola! You cannot just put yourself in front of us!" As if he and Themisto would allow that too.
"Miss Elara, you should REALLY stick to us, like the rubber and the glue...or um...the glue!"
Amid the bro-banter and sunny smiles of Altais and the gentle chastising of Denebola, that name rang a bell. Itsuki had spoken of someone he had awakened, who wore purple, but he didn't mention her name specifically very often. No, he called her something else.
"...Gooshy-san?" he blurted before he could stop himself. Themisto slapped his forehead with the heel of his hand. "...god dammit that cat is rubbin' off on me. Uh... Sorry about that. Itsuki's my cat. He's... a furry doofus. He said he awakened somebody who's got slime powers. Speaks Japanese here'n'there. Anyway--"
It was then that the biggest bird Themisto had ever seen in his entire life had decided to make its presence known. What that what was atop this Washington Monument? Upon closer inspection, and being able to feel its aura and hear it speak, Themisto was confident this thing was a youma. Denebola stepped before her boys and Themisto followed his bro-in-crime, placing himself between the bird and Basically Mom.
"I don't think so, Big Bird. Back off. Elara, get behind us!"

All three senshi were more than welcoming, easing the worries that had been settling themselves in the back of her mind.
The girl was warm and inviting, clearly the leader of their little group. Blondie was excitable - far more excitable than was probably necessary - but almost infectiously so. His grin had her grinning, up until a familiar nickname had her head turning.
Gooshy-san??
“....you must be Itsuki’s companion! He's told me about you!”
Talk about a small world!
Greetings and introductions were cut short, however, as the giant bird looming up above decided to do some swooping down. Perhaps it felt left out of the conversation, joining in with a puzzling question that Elara wasn't prepared to answer.
Stepping behind Themisto after his prompting, she swallowed hard. The monster bird seemed to have as many eyes as it did wings...and it kept staring. It was downright unnerving.
“W-What should we do?” She found herself whispering.

Were it not for the giant, monstrous bird staring at them, creeping closer with every hop of it's giant talons, Denebola might have been proud of the way her boys had stepped up with the intent of protecting herself and their newfound ally. Instead her hands came up to both of their shoulders and she stepped between them, squeezing past them and once again standing in front.
"It's okay," she said, to all of them. "We've got each other, no matter what." Blue and green eyes kept themselves trained on the youma, fingers twitching at her side as she tried to decide their best course of action.
Koschei tilted his head, until it was upside down and his open beak was chattering when he spoke. "Do you seek to destroy what only seeks to exist?"
Her brows furrowed and she curled her hands into fists. "If we must." She looked to the boys on either side of her flanks, "Keep her safe if things get ugly."
Koschei's mouth opened and the screech was disorienting.

Themisto admired Denebola more than he had the words to explain to her. The love and admiration the senshi felt for the redhead was akin to a mother figure, and learning this fact about himself caused Themisto to endeavor even more to keep her safe and protected. It wasn't that he believed she was incapable - no sir, never - but that her life was most precious of all and should be protected as such.
When the Senshi of Dragonflies stepped between the two, Themisto reached out to protest, only to be caught off guard by the fact that the youma was not only intelligent enough to ask questions, but to ask riddles. Themisto could think of no better reason to destroy the obelisk than the fact that it was alien in design, but couldn't voice that thought before the raven started screeching at them.
Brought to one knee, blood dripping from one each, the shriek was nothing short of needles in his eardrum. Disoriented for a moment, the Senshi of the Lost couldn't risk his fog attack without hitting Denebola, Altais or Elara. Instead, he focused his attack behind the bird, hoping to scare it away. If it was more agile than it appeared, perhaps the bigger ghosts would be a better choice?
"Multorum Animos!"
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Multorum Animos! Second verse, same as the first. Themisto calls out the name and three semi-transparent and semi-horrifying lost souls appear about ten feet behind the target and shoots forward in a cone-like shape very quickly. The souls look the same as the first attack, issuing low, guttural moaning/wailing sounds. If it connects, the target feels great bouts of heartache, sadness and fear. They themselves feel lost or forgotten just like the souls Themisto conjures up. The attack is meant to be a distraction more than anything else.
• Multi-target cone (if there is only one target, this attack simply has a greater chance to connect due to its greater area of effect) • This attack can hit Themisto/allies/other people if the soul is dodged. • The attack lasts 20 seconds. • Themisto can use this attack twice per battle. • The attack can travel through solid matter, but since it dissipates after 10 feet, the solid matter has to be pretty thin for this to mean much of anything.
Altais felt like he could argue with Denebola all day over who was placed in front of who, but they didn't get a chance too when the giant bird spoke not only in riddles but screeched to the point where ears bled, small amounts dribbling out of his ear drums and a little escaping from his nose.
Altais wasn't the greatest at the pokey go though, so even though he was a ground type senshi, he thought his attack might do some damage like Themi's did and rather risk the bird getting up in the air, Altais brought his fist down, "Shockwave Crumble!"
Which probably did more harm to the team, then it did to the bird.
