With Mary’s determination to get stronger, she was beginning to patrol more. To actually go out…and do more than poke bushes…and when she saw someone wearing black who was…well to be honest it looked like she was taking something from a person napping on a park bench. Was that energy? Was that what it looked like?
For a long moment, the chibi just gaped at the sight, but then she balled her hands into fists. Sure…this senshi was stronger than she was…and sure they were obviously enemies…and…sure…she…was stealing energy so obviously that made them enemies but…Mary couldn’t not do something about it, could she?
Drawing in a breath she ran up to the corrupted senshi and gave her a shove, using all the strength that she could muster. Her strength wasn’t great, as a chibi, but the seventeen year old wasn’t weak in her every day life. She did work out…a little. Sometimes.
Dancing didn’t really count, she had great leg strength but…arms…not so much.
Still. Hopefully it would be enough to get the corrupt’s attention.

For as tired as she had been these last several weeks, sleep did not come easy. Her mind was always active, constantly thinking about powering up when it was finally night out and hounding her with thoughts of needing more energy, and yet- exhaustion hit her like a freight train. Physically she was drained, mentally she was not thinking completely straight; especially when she went to the cafe earlier today to catch a glimpse of her brother, Shen. But there were these intrusive thoughts demanding she stay away.
She’d tried a number of sleep aids, even going as far as taking Benedryl to try and knock herself out for a few hours. That didn’t seem to work any.
What’s worse were the energy drinks she’d started buying since exercise to get her blood pumping as she used to do seemed to have the opposite effect. The caffeine was affecting her in the worst way; not only did it go against her diet, but it was contributing to the intense migraines she’d been having. Poor eating habits, exhaustion, and restless nights were apparently a cocktail of rough days ahead.
Her General had nothing to say on it, merely suggested not ignoring these ideas, he called them, and satiate the obsessions.
But it never seemed to be enough.
Even with the civilian laying on the ground before her, near motionless except for their breathing, Fluorapatite felt- off. Rather than feeling rejuvenated by the gathered energy, the lingering throbbing headache made it feel as if the ground beneath her had tilted on its axis as if the street lights were bright suns too brilliant to look at.
Kill
The thought struck her before Fluora even realized that she wasn’t alone, that there was an order signature behind. She said something but most of it was missed, probably something sassy given her high and mighty stance.
Bring the starseed…
Too tired to resist, Fluora gave herself over to the demands and turned, a wicked smirk pulling the corner of her lips as she ran hands along the length of her forearm. From elbows to fingertips she reached an arm out towards the little lady. “Static Shock!” As the arch of static launched forward, the corrupt teleported from where she stood to a spot directly behind the White Moon brat.
Sailor Scout Attack: Static Shock Sìdòuèr targets one opponent within 10' of her current location. Rubbing her hands together she forms a ball of static energy forms in the palm of her hand as an image of a Kirin begins to form it then charges/arches towards the intended target. If the ball of static energy hits, it gives the single opponent a nasty shock it may numb the area where the opponent was struck (but it will not paralyze them) and, if a battle takes place at night or in a dark area, there is a chance of the opponent's vision being either momentarily blinded or seeing the afterimage of the shock for 2-5 seconds (it is the exact same effect as if you are standing in a dark room and someone flips the lights on then off really quick you'll see a bright probably blue after image lingering in front of you while your eyes adjust). If the opponent is more than 10' away from her the static shock will still reach out towards the opponent but fizzle out. This attack can be used 3 times per battle.

Oh. Oh so they…could just. Disappear. That. Was something that Mary wished she would have been told, and when she was hit in the back by something that made her entire back tingle unpleasantly, she cried out in confusion and pain. Spinning around, Mary took several steps backwards away from the senshi in black and swallowed hard.
…Was she even prepared for this? Did she know what she was doing at all?
How much of an idiot did she have to be to just…go up to someone who was obviously stronger than she was, shove them and expect them to just listen and leave.
Mary’s mouth was dry, but she forced her face into an expression that was one of a little less panic, and shook her head. “You really need to go. You’re a monster and…it’s up to me to stop you.”
Brave words. Confident words, with absolutely nothing to back them up…but. She held her hand out, she had magic too, and if it would help her to not die…help this poor civilian to not die…it was worth trying, wasn’t it?
“Leaping Lambs!”
Shanyume
Leaping Lambs! Sailor Mary rubs her eyes and holds her hands out, causing five energy lambs to come out and frolic around up to two people. As the lambs frolic, they make the opponent feel sleepy, as though they have not had a good nights sleep in twenty four hours. The attack lasts for 30 seconds and can be used twice per battle.

“You think I’m a monster?” Fluora’s head canted slightly to the side in amused consideration. “Hmm, you know nothing about monsters, sweetheart. True monsters would hunt both you and I indiscriminately.” Feral Youma were mindless creatures with only one objective; devour.
Without much in the way of warning, the blond-haired girl cast her magic and Fluora retreated backward several steps away from the semi-transparent lambs she’d created.
Her jade and pink-colored eyes narrowed dangerously, teeth clenching in irritation, as the corrupt summoned a stronger attack. “Chaining static shock!” From her hand an arch of static lashed out at the first one, jumping to the second she thought that the last one would reach the young girl, but a third lamb manifested and it took the attack instead.
Still, two remained.
Rather than charge at her, like she’d been expecting them to do, the magical manifestations frolicked around her; their curly woolen hair bouncing as they trod upon the ground between them. Fluorapatite watched, transfixed on their motions she felt a tug on her consciousness. That same feeling she had when trying to force herself to stay awake while studying for an exam.
She blinked, eyelids feeling heavier than they had before she’d powered up, Fluora reached up with the back of her hand to try to hide a yawn. Not good…
Kill
The voice seethed in her mind but this time it sounded incredibly distant. As if it was a whispered echo of the earlier command.
Star--....see…d
Then there was silence. Fluora closed her eyes and this time they did not open as her mind dove deep into the blissful silence that the senshi’s magic created. If this was to be the day she died, at least she will have found her moment of peace.
Her body relaxed, knees buckling she fell to the ground in a heap. Not dead. But definitely unaware of her surroundings, or perhaps uncaring to what might happen next.

Mary wasn’t…expecting for her magic to be attacked, and the very thing made her yelp and take several steps backwards but…oh.
Oh…it…
Blinking in utter, complete confusion, Mary almost walked over to poke the black clad senshi, to make sure she was okay but…at the same time…if she had fallen asleep…well.
Good! That meant that Mary could get away…and she could help the unconscious civilian to get away too.
Swiftly, Mary moved to the civilian and picked her up, grunting a little as she maneuvered to get the woman on her back. She broke into a run and got a few blocks away before putting the woman down, making sure she was hidden from sight, just in case the crazy monster woman woke and tried to finish her off…and then, she headed home as quickly as her feet could take her.
