Arsenolite was having an interesting time. Certainly not a good one. He worried endlessly about Monoceros, even if he didn't show it. He just wanted his brother to hurry up and conform already; it's not like it was difficult. He didn't understand why Monoceros clung so hard to a life he knew nothing about, especially when he had Arsenolite to help him through it. He growled softly in frustration, holding his bow and an arrow loosely nocked as he prowled through the streets. He was ready for a fight, if he was caught while taking a starseed or something.

Dagon liked to think that she was, in fact, having a good night. Any night where she got to prowl the rooftops and stalk the Negaverse was a good one, and this particular one--a Captain, she guessed, based on what she knew of their ranks--didn't seem to be paying attention to her. How lovely. He could do a lot of damage with that bow, if she wasn't careful--but he wasn't looking where she was, and she was a hunter.
As quietly as she could, she dropped down behind him, prowling close like she was seeking prey on her homeworld. Be that animal prey, or sapient. The difference was, truly, quite academic.
"Dreadful Aspect," she said, as she slid in behind him. It was the first warning she gave of her presence.
The second was one hand snapping to grab the back of his uniform while her knee came up to drive into his spine.Quote: Dagon touches her fist to her chest, and a strange fog begins to swirl around her. Enemies within ten feet of Dagon will see her as something monstrous and dreadful, and experience a sense of oncoming doom in her presence. These effects last for 30 seconds, and Dagon can use this spell three times per battle.

He heard her words—the casting of a spell, s**t—and whirled, her hand catching on his collar just enough to choke him briefly as he spun, her knee slamming right into his kidney. ********, that hurt. Fog spread throughout the area and he hissed under his breath, backing up slightly and taking aim with his bow, string tight, arrow ready to fly. But the arrow didn't fly. Not when he saw what he was looking at. Some... giant monster. Like... Loch Ness, only on land, or something crazy like that. A youma? No, youma couldn't cast spells, and certainly didn't have the aura of a Senshi. Some kind of horrible transformation spell, clearly. "Go away," he said, kidney still throbbing painfully, "Or I'll shoot." Aim for the head.

Dagon laughed. It was mocking, amused--made it clear that she hardly found his little threat display intimidating. Yes, he outranked her in power, but she had her own advantages. A thousand years of experience, for one. And magic that would make him see her as something quite other than what she was.
"Will you?" She asked, and she spun, lashing out to kick him again, this time aiming for the side. If she could manage this--battering around a Captain--oh, that would be far, far too sweet a thing. A power trip that simply could not be matched. "Do you fancy yourself a hunter, Captain? What kind of prey do you have in your sights?"

Arsenolite narrowed his eyes, a smirk trailing across his face. "Oh, the kind of prey that's too beautiful to ignore," he said, lowering his aim slightly. Maybe he didn't want to aim for her head. She sounded feisty, and he liked that. Killing her wouldn't do any good. Some kind of shoulder injury, though? Yeah. Maybe he could get her to convert and do this spell when they were alone. This form of hers was terrifying, sure, but also exhilarating. He loosed it just in time to take that kick, in the same already-sore kidney, and staggered to the side, slamming into a nearby wall and barely holding himself up. s**t. That had really hurt.

"Ugh," Dagon spat. "Even if I did sleep with men, I wouldn't sully myself with Chaos." What a disgusting, vile thought. The prospect made her skin crawl. But let him compliment her. Let him find his fascination with his own oncoming demise.
He shot--aimed high--and she could only guess at what he might see her as, but it was convenient, since she could bounce up and catch the arrow out of the air.
Good. Now she had a weapon, and the playing field was even. She moved quickly, all her Senshi speed poured into it, and brought the arrow around to stab at his chest, aiming for the center. It was difficult to remember what was vital on a human--difficult to guess if he might be armored under his uniform, too. But she could, well.
Take a stab at it, so to speak.
Maybe if she aimed true enough, she would have her first dead Chaos agent on this planet.
"I've killed hunters much more clever than you, Captain," Dagon said. "So why don't you lay down and die."

Arsenolite rolled his eyes. Jesus Christ, "sully"? Seriously? He groaned softly, shifting against the wall. s**t. This chick was insane. How the hell had he missed his shot? She was so tall, he should've hit her. Unless, of course, the magic was illusional rather than transformational. The fog began to dissipate, and he inhaled sharply, blinking his eyes. He wanted to see... But then an arm came from the little dark that remained, holding his arrow in its hand, and he sidestepped, taking the aim in his shoulder over his chest. He didn't need an arrowhead in his sternum. "No thanks," he snarked, feeling the blood trickle down his arm and side, "Death isn't on the menu for me today." The spell finished clearing up, and he gaped. What the ******** was she? Could someone be half-youma and also Order? No, that didn't make any sense, so what.. "You don't belong here, alien b***h," he snarled as the flashbulb thought struck his brain, lifting a foot to kick into her stomach. He needed to her away from him, stop holding onto him so much so he could teleport away. Real. Aliens. s**t.

Dagon kept her grip on the arrow, and as he kicked her, she used the force of him pushing her back to wrench it out. She might have missed the stab in the chest, but she would still do plenty of damage.
"Not today," she said, "but someday."
Her magic had worn off, and she didn't want to take a chance on calling on it again, when it might not work. She'd proven enough to herself, just by being able to injure him as badly as she had.
"And anyway, I'd rather not be here, thanks. Unfortunately for me, Chaos destroyed my world, so I've got nowhere else to go. But another time, Captain. We'll dance later."
She ran for the nearest rooftop, bounding up it, and hoped he wouldn't give chase.
