Indeed, Holi had left Richard laying in her bed giving slow blinks of surprise after her. “The ********?” He put a hand over his face and bit back a groan. “Second time.” How did he end up in bed with a Mirror Senshi twice? Coincidence or some weird type that he had? There was no answer to that to be seen so he got out of the bed and gathered up his stuff before powering up himself and going out her window.
Huntite wasn’t sure at first if she would still be in his range but sure enough he felt the tail end of a Mirror Senshi’s signature so he bounded after her.
~*~*~
Proto managed to make it to the park, a bit more awake now that she was at her destination. She looked around to make sure that one knight wasn't around to kick her in the back like last time, spotting what looked like a couple taking a brief rest from a nightly jog. There was that stupid light again and she ignored it in favor of looking at the couple. Protogenia was unsure if she wanted to try and take down two people, so she started to back away, only to stiffen when she felt the faint signature of the negaverse rapidly coming towards her. The signature felt more powerful, like Cups which made her a bit nervous. "Nope." She whispered before taking off, hoping to lose them.
~*~*~
He could feel her take off and of course he shifted to follow after her. If anyone could look they would have seen a spark of something that was a mix of amusement and what could only be called ‘hunting’ in his eyes. Huntite always did like a good chase, though of course he had no plans on making the ending a bad one for either of them. He could have teleported to get even closer but as a Captain he already had an edge on speed so it wasn’t like he wasn’t gaining ground.
~*~*~
Okay, what the hell?!
Proto cannot remember if she's done anything to offend the negaverse so why the hell is a captain chasing her!? She's not a white moon so there is literally nothing to gain here! She could feel the person chasing her gaining, so she did the one thing she could do: she hopped down, still in the park, and powered down. That was when she took off, hoping to confuse the captain enough to leave her alone. Geez did she have to worry about the Negaverse too now?!
~*~*~
He had just about reached her when she powered down. An amused chuckle escaped him as he kept going to the last spot he felt her. Once he was there, Huntite looked around though it didn’t take long to spot her running off. This time he did teleport, to a tree branch in front of her. “You know. If I had wanted to hurt you it would have been pretty easy to see the one person running from where the signature stopped at.” He drawled, leaning against the trunk of the tree he was standing in. His weapon was put away and nothing about his body language screamed fight.
~*~*~
Proto yelped and skidded to a halt, looking around for a bit before looking up with a squint. "I-I don't know what you're talking about….Ermmmm….You're one of those terrorists aren't you!?" As much as she wanted to power up and throw a bubble, she knew it wasn't going to work. So….She had to play the civilian role here, preparing to scream her head off.
~*~*~
Another chuckle escaped him at her attempt to play innocent. “To be fair, it might have worked on some others.” He said as if he was just ignoring her part in this conversation. He then moved to drop down out of the tree, landing easily on the ground in front of her. “But really with the acting it’s just too much.” He said with a mock sigh. Huntite miiiiiight have been having a bit too much fun with this but he fully planned on explaining to her in a moment.
~*~*~
At that, proto frowned, blushing juuuuust a bit. So he wasn't buying it….what about screaming? She looked around, noting that she was pretty deep in the park. Alright…since this was a negaverse agent [one with an odd feeling to him, not to mention other things], powering up was the least of her worries. Proto took her senshi form once more, sticking her tongue out. "Back off! I'm a Mirror so I'm nothing benefiting you! Isn't there a white moon you can bother?" She huffed and started backing up, hand shimmering with a slowly forming bubble.
~*~*~
This time the laughter came out more then just a chuckle as she powered back up and clearly geared up for a fight. “Well I wouldn’t say you have no benefits to me.” He said with a smirk the promptly dropped his own transformation. “And no, I certainly don’t have a white moon to bother since none of them transformed in front of me before leaving through a window.” He drawled out, crossing his arms.
~*~*~
Why was he laughing?
Proto was extremely confused at this point, coughing with a blush at the last bit. Did he just…..When the powered guise was dropped, her eyes widened. "R-Rick?!" She all but squeaked, transformation dropping as well.
Yeah……..How did she forget about the big man that was LITERALLY in bed with her?! She ran her hands down her face with a groan, "S-Sorry…." She looked down in embarrassment, kicking at the ground slightly. Well at least she didn't have to worry about getting a new identity……But that leaves one question:
"Y-You're Negaverse!?"
~*~*~
“Yep.” Richard said, making the p have an extra pop. “And you’re Mirror Court.” He gestured with one hand to her. “Not quite what either of us was expecting today.” As amused as he was right now, it could have been a lot worse. If she had been a Moon Senshi he would have had to do something. Mainly either get her Corrupted or would have to just drop all ties with her when she got a new identity., because there was no way he would have turned White Moon. He was quite happy being Negaverse thank you very much.
~*~*~
Well that was a bit of a weight lifted.
Holi tilted her head with a smile. Maybe Rick could be her buddy for a bit? "Haha yes but at least nothing bad has to happen." She liked being a mirror, did not want to be white moon and having a hole in her chest and head wasn't very appealing either. But where to go from here? "Want to come with me?" She just had to get some energy tonight and it would be nice to have company. Holi powered back up into protogenia, walking towards Richard to give him a light peck on the lips. "Please?"
~*~*~
“Well how could I resist such a request when you asked so nicely?” Richard said and kissed her back before powering back up to Huntite. “Have any preferences on how we do this?” He asked, bow coming to hand as the thrill of the hunt once again shot through him. “Subtle or not so?”
~*~*~
"Subtle, subtle seems best. I've always wanted to be a stealthy ninja~ You lead the way senpai!" Proto was so excited! She had a feeling she could learn all the things from Rick. "What is your mineral name?" It's not like she could call him by his actual name anyway. There were other questions she wanted to ask, but this was the more important one.
~*~*~
He took one of her hands in his and raised it up to lay a kiss on it. “Call me Huntite.” He said, smirk just a touch more feral for a moment. “And your Senshi name?” While he had an idea of what it could be as she did seem to match the description of the Mirror that Cuprite had told him about, he wanted to make sure. “And subtle is perfectly fine with me. We can find a couple of park goers and take what we need.”
~*~*~
She wasn't going to lie, that kiss along with the smirk had a very unmentionable effect on her. "P-Protogenia~" sometimes she swore her ability to be a tomato increased whenever she was around this man. Anyone else and she would be just as bubbly as she usually is. “Awesome!” She was very excited to get going, waiting for Huntite to take over. She was going to learn some things today!
~*~*~
So she was indeed the Mirror that Cuprite talked about, he might have to mention that later. For now however it was time to get to business. “Well then, let’s get going.” Huntite said and gestured to the path before them. Time for the true hunt to begin and this time he had a pretty partner at his side.
Viva Viola
