Welcome to Gaia! ::

Versailles slowly moved this way and that, trying to find someone to gather energy from. It was too bad that it was winter. So many people refused to come out. Though he would have to if he didn't have any Negaverse obligations. And he hoped that he wouldn't be sucked into something like that bottle thing again. He shivered just thinking about it. That place was awful!

He was about to turn and call it a night when he felt a tiny Order signature. It made him curious. He knew what a basic senshi's signature felt like, but this one felt... weaker in a way, but stronger in another. He didn't know what it was, which made him even more curious. And off he went in the direction that he assumed it was coming from.

And when he could see who it was well... it was surprising. It looked like some little kid who... was fighting with the swing set? Versailles couldn't help but laugh a bit at the picture. Apparently the boy was very frustrated at the inanimate object.

Versailles stopped laughing when the kid came over and started to yell at him. It seemed the child had some anger issues. Versailles couldn't help but grimace. "Well maybe you wouldn't look so silly if you weren't literally trying to fight a swing set." He said blandly, trying to make the child understand the situation. Times like this made him glad that he was an only child. At least he didn't have little siblings to deal with.

Versailles took a step closer to the kid and with his hand, flicked the top of the boy's head. Sure, not the greatest idea, but again, bad with children. "Why don't you do something more productive to get rid of that anger rather than taking it out on an inanimate object. Take a self-defense class or something. Or maybe even play some sports so you can burn off that energy." Versailles was trying to be truthful with his suggestions. Even if he didn't get along with children, he still didn't want to fight one when he was powered up anyway. Children shouldn't be soldiers after all.

Versailles cursed to himself as the kid hit his leg in what could only be called the "funny bone" of the leg. Versailles was not well versed in anatomy. All he knew was that it hurt in the way it did when someone hit their elbow. Painful, but also just weird.

This kid clearly had some anger issues and probably believed that he could beat anyone and anything just because he was a senshi. He was still a chibi though, which gave Versailles a slight advantage, but he wouldn't underestimate the boy just because of that.

He let go of the kid, gritting his teeth both from the pain and the annoyance that was not building up from this kid that really just needed to be put in time out or something. After all, Versailles wouldn't advocate child violence, unless it was in self-defense. And this kid was getting very close to crossing that line.

"Oh, and what are you going to do if you can't use your powers? I guarantee that at some point you will be unable and where will you be then? You can't rely on just your powers. You have to learn how to do more, or else you'll be hurt." And then with his speed, Versailles got close to the child and sent out his hand to slap the kid, hopefully with a dose of reality. But he couldn't guarantee a hit. He might have to use his powers just to show the boy that he may not just be able to fight back.

As dangerous as the kid was, Versailles still couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It was true, it was a stupid war that adults were continuing, but there was also a lot more to it. It's just that the powers that "be" often took advantage of people to use them for their own purpose. He was on the "bad" guy side, but he had his own reasons. Or at least he had been thinking about it for a while now, even if he hadn't been a Corrupt Senshi for that long.

"The fact that no one does care about it makes it a problem kid. The problem isn't just going to go away by ignoring it or running in blindly, fists flailing, and no real clue as to how to reach your goal. You may know what you want to do, but how are you going to do it?" The kid had powers, and was certainly more powerful than ordinary adult citizens, but it was reckless power.

But before Versailles could say anything else, the senshi announced his attack, and for a brief moment, Versailles thought he saw smoke. And he could tell that he had breathed something in by the slight change in smell that went into his nose, but he didn't know what had happened. The only thing that he could tell that was going on right now was that everything was pitch black. And there was something... shiny that he could see.

When he went to touch it, the object clinked and Versailles immediately recognized what it was. It was just like that supid bottle event. The one he really should have gotten some counseling on considering he had died twice there. It was yet another reminder of his mortality that he hadn't wanted to experience ever again. It scared him...

"S***." Versailles said. This was a power based on fear wasn't it? Though that should have been obvious from the words that the chibi had yelled. It was most likely an illusion, just like his powers, but that didn't mean that the psychological effects weren't there. He would have to survive this. He knew it wasn't real, he just had to convince his primal brain that it was. He figured that the kid was still around and just couldn't be seen, and so Versailles decided to take a few steps back, just in case.

Versailles was still stuck in the illusion, which meant that he couldn't see the fist flying towards his face. When he did feel the pain though, he was only glad that it hadn't landed at his mouth. Still, getting his eye punched wasn't a great feeling either. Versailles reeled, taking a step back. That was it, clearly this kid was going all out, and if he was, then so would Versailles.

He assumed the kid was still within a close distance, but if he wasn't, hopefully he could get the child with his next attack.

He snapped his fingers and called out his attack. "Behold my Splendor!" If the attack didn't land, then hopefully the kid's attack would be going away soon, and he would then be able to use it again.

Well, even if the Chibi Senshi hadn't been effected by the magic, it had least done the trick and the kid was now sitting. Still, that didn't mean that Versailles should underestimate the kid. After all, the child could probably launch his attack while sitting too.

Versailles shrugged at the child's words. "All is fair in love and war." He would have reminded the Chibi Senshi that he had also launched an attack that had caused Versailles not to be able to see, but he was sure that it would have started another rage-fit from the little one. And after already having gone through one, Versailles did not want to go through another one.

Versailles sighed, glad that the fight was over. "Look, you clearly have some issues you need to deal with, and if you aren't careful, then you're going to run into someone who's a lot worse than me, got it? You're lucky I'm so nice." Now was his chance to get away from all of this. "You probably think you're invincible but you aren't, and you need to remember your weaknesses and strengths together. Otherwise you will be in way over your head. Make sure you think before you run head first into a battle again." He said, taking a few steps back, before turning and walking, then running away, just in case the child decided they wanted to do another round. Versailles was done for the night, and now all he wanted to do was go home and rest. The fact that children could be Senshi was... disturbing, and he needed some time to reflect and think on it.
