Both Tsukuyomi and Richelsdorfite (but please, call her Richel, thank you) knew that the DMC and Negaverse had a very loose alliance.
Both of them knew they weren't supposed to be attacking each other all willy-nilly.
Of course, this really didn't matter to either of them, both being very selfish young women (though in Richel's case, 'young' was a dubious claim at this point, maybe) who may or may not have ended up in a territorial dispute over who had the claim to draining a civilian they both had laid eyes on, and who had truly gotten there first, aka, who had 'dibs'.
Yes, they could have simply chosen another target each, but why do that when they could instead get involved in a petty squabble as if they were both in high school still? Nevermind that Richel should have known better and not pick a fight with someone who was still (technically) a teenager. Nevermind that Tsuku was likely to end up causing a headache for the other Dark Mirror senshi that got along with the Negaverse or anything.
And nevermind that their target civilian had gotten away. This was a matter of principle, and this meant war.
"Bestie, I hate to say it, but you are seriously cramping my style." Tsukuyomi hissed.
"Excuse me? You're the one that tried to snipe my target," Richel retorted, glaring as the younger senshi, "You'd do well to learn some manners, little girl."
Tensions were rising, and, going by the looks on the two's faces, it was very likely that magic would start flying around soon.

Honestly, Angelica was kicking herself for how the date had gone and the things she had said. She had acted like a Grade-A creep and Sappho had known it but…
s**t.
There was a commotion ahead, she could hear voices and felt two chaos auras…one of a Corrupted Senshi and one of a member of the Dark Mirror Court and…
For a moment, Angelica simply thought about trying to smash both of their heads in but…if she could help the member of the Dark Mirrors…maybe that would get back to Sappho and she would see that Angelica was actually keeping her promise and trying to not be…
Like she was.
“Oi! Are you two really fighting over who’s the best person here, cause in case you haven’t noticed, you’re both chaos so…that means you both kind of suck but…” She pointed at the girl with the longer hair and no….flutterly bits on her outfit…with the overwhelmingly chaotic aura. “You’re clearly in the wrongest wrong, so…I’m on your side, Mirror Girl. If you wanna fight. Let’s send her packing, shall we?”
The sudden presence of a white moon aura approaching them drew the attention of the two women, and they both paused in their petty squabble to turn their heads towards the newcomer, one looking on with more contempt than the other. Richel had half a mind to tell Angelica to get lost, and that this was a private affair that did not need the white moon involved, but then she had to go and open her mouth and...
... Was she taking that Dark Mirror's side, without context, even? Surely she couldn't be that stupid... and yet, before Richel could open her mouth and say anything, Tsukuyomi beat her to the punch.
"Why bestie, I thought you'd never ask," Tsukuyomi said, with a catty grin on her face; she didn't particularly hold any love for the white moon, but at the same time, she wasn't above working with what technically was the enemy for a shared goal. Which.
In this case... seemed to be to get a one-up on a certain corrupt that she had just been fighting with? Well, whatever, don't look a gift horse in its mouth or whatnot, Tsuku didn't care as long as she got what she wanted.
"Let's get this show on the road, shall we?"
Richel frowned, though perhaps since she had already been frowning, her frown deepend; a basic corrupt versus a basic dark mirror? Easy, child's play, a level playing field. But two versus one, when a super was involved? Perhaps if Richel was a more sensible person, she would have acquiesced then and there, and left the two to bond or whatever it was they wanted to do on their own, on their own time. But pride was on the line, and Richel was a very prideful woman for someone who didn't remember a lick of her previous life before her induction into the Negaverse, so...
"Ugh, are we really doing this, then?" Richel asked, as if she hadn't just previously been in the midst of being about to get herself into a catfight with a... senshi of a demon cat (not that she knew this). "Because I must have you know, I don't intend to lose."

Angelica grinned, her eyes growing cold as she stared at the Corrupted Senshi. “Of course we’re doing this. You’re going to get your a** kicked, and then you,” she looked at Tsukuyomi and her expression softened just slightly. “Are going to tell all of your little mirror friends how helpful I was, okay? Sounds good, right? Okay.”
Now that was out of the way, she spun to face Richel once again, flinging her magic towards her. “Spruce Smoke Surprise!”
She neglected to add the tagline of b***h...but she thought it in her heart. If she was going to make a good impression on the Mirror girl…she had to be on her best behavior, if that was at all possible.
“Just breathe it in real deep.”

Angelia says the name of her attack and produces a three energy spruce cones. She throws this handful of cones at an opponent and when the cones come in contact with something, they explode into a light green smoke, which smells very strongly of Spruce. The attack is nothing more than an overwhelming smell of spruce, but it is nevertheless distracting. If the spruce cones hit a target, they will cause a small bit of pain upon exploding, akin to being struck with a golf ball. The smoke dissipates in thirty seconds and the attack can be used three times per battle.
The idea of having friends in the Dark Mirror Court was a very laughable one to Tsuyu, but they would wait until they were alone later to have a really good laugh about it. Aside from that one chick who complimented her outfit, Tsuyu couldn't quite consider any of them to be anything more than 'annoying co-workers', at least not since that incident at the park a couple years back, where they spoiled all her fun and caused them to become a target in the middle of all the brouhaha. Biased? Maybe, but that was just how Tsuyu worked.
But hey, they'd humor the white moon super for now- if she was requesting that they go about telling the other Dark Mirrors about how helpful she was, Tsuyu had a sneaking suspicion there was a good reason for it. Or, perhaps, Angelica was just trying to kiss up to the Court to get on their good side for some nonsensical reason in general, such as to earn a favor from them in battle... or to return a favor. Either or; she didn't really care, either way, and if it did end up being for some reason of interest to her, well, word would trickle down to her one way or another.
"Sure thing, bestie!" Tsuyu replied, that smug, catty grin never leaving her face, "I'll be sure to pass the word along."
It wasn't as if they'd purposely seek out any of the other Dark Mirrors, but the DMS of Kasha could do a favor and pass the word along... if only because they could possibly use this to their advantage, outside of their temporary alliance going on at the moment.
She wasn't sure what this senshi was the senshi of, but her attack seemed to involved some kind of tree cone (pine? spruce? whatever), so plant-based? Interesting. Maybe.
Meanwhile, Richel, who had begun the night thinking she would find an easy target to drain and ended up the target of a 2v1, was the least bit thrilled about this turn of events, having expected an easy win before the white moon showed up. Although she had no memories of her previous life pre-corruption, there was a certain bitterness at having anyone aligned with that faction show up, even if she didn't think she had ever seen Angelica before in her entire life. At least, there didn't seem to be any spark of familiarity, anyway.
Whatever, there wasn't time to think when there were tree cone smoke bombs being thrown at her. The overwhelming scent was bad enough, but the smoke? Horribly distracting. And that was to say nothing of how getting hit with one of them smarted quite terribly. Letting out a growl of frustration, Richel was absolutely committed to pounding both their faces into the ground if possible, the original reason for their fight be damned.
"Don't think I'm giving up that easily!" Richel called out, ever to the last unwilling to stand down and give up, "Bubble Blast!"
Orangeish Sherbert
Richel sends a volley of magical bubbles blowing out toward a target, which burst upon contact. The bubbles leave temporary marks, mostly some minor bruising or skin irritation if they make skin contact, that fade when the magic ends, unless the player wishes for them to linger afterwards. The magic lasts for twenty seconds, and can be used up to three times.

“Nobody special just. Remember that I helped you, that’s all I ask.” Angelica twisted her head around when Richel called her magic and stepped in front of the Dark Mirror Senshi, hissing as the bubbles popped against her. It felt as though she were being pelted with rocks and she had a sneaking suspicion that there would be bruises there by tomorrow.
“Oy. Bestie, do you have some magic you can use on this one? Maybe if you attack her too she’ll realize that there’s no way in hell she can win and we can all get on with our lives.”
It was said loudly enough for all to hear, and she hoped that the corrupt would take a hint and just leave. But. Chaos did make people stupid.
Tsukuyomi found a certain amusement in having called someone 'bestie' and having them called her it in return, in spite of both parties very clearly being aware that they weren't, quite actually, truly besties. Perhaps it was just because she was easily entertained sometimes, but if it weren't for the fact that they were on opposing sides, well, maybe in another life she'd have felt some level of kinship with Angelica. As it was, though, they would go back to being enemies after this, and Tsuyu was fine with this, too; the temporary alliance had succeeded in gaining her the upper hand over the corrupt, something the senshi of kasha was sure to still be smug about even long after the fight ended.
"Why, certainly," Tsuyu replied, because she absolutely wouldn't pass up the chance to rub her victory in the older corrupt's face, "Jigoku-zōshi."
Sailor Scout Attack: Jigoku-zōshi
A spectral fiery chariot appears, in an attempt to carry its selected target away to hell for punishment. Anyone who comes into contact with this chariot feels a burning sensation as if being burnt by hellfire, though no actual physical damage is done. The burning lasts for twenty seconds, and the chariot can be summoned up to three times.
Richel had had every intention of seeing this fight through to the end, eager for vengeance against a senshi of the White Moon, and also eager to get back at Tsukuyomi for trying to steal her target from her and leading to them running away. Surely, carrying out with the former, even if it was just against one senshi for now, would please her superiors, and she could explain away her fight with a Dark Mirror senshi as them getting in her way and interfering with her work. At the same time...
The tree cone smoke bombs had been bad enough, but getting hit with a cart wreathed in fire, despite there seemingly being nothing pulling it along, really smarted, which was to say that it burned, and even if she wasn't really on fire, and the burning was purely psychological, it still was unpleasent enough to where she was going to have to... well, Richel refused to consider this defeat, so to speak, but sticking around wasn't in her best interests, because who knew if they'd call on more of their friends or not?
"Don't think this means you won or anything," the corrupt managed to spit out, before she turned heel and fled into the night.

Angelica grinned, feeling terribly smug and pleased to watch the Corrupted Senshi flee with her tail between her legs and she turned towards the Dark Mirror Senshi and nodded her head. “It was. Not that bad to work with you.”
She wouldn’t want to do it again…but if it came to it, working with a Dark Mirror Senshi wasn’t impossible and that…was better than nothing.
“Have a good night, and don’t forget that Sailor Angelica helped you out, okay? You’ll be doing me a solid.”
Giving a little, almost halfhearted smile and a wink, ANgelica turned around and began walking in the opposite direction that the Corrupted Senshi went in.
…Damn. Now she was just tired but. Oh well. It was all over.
"Selamat malam, bestie! Catch you on the flip side," Tsuyu called out, waving on Angelica as she left. She knew full well that the next time they would cross paths would be as enemies again, but that simply added to the entertainment value, just like her weird amusement in calling strangers 'bestie'. Of course, she didn't particularly want to be on the receiving end of the attack that had been used to hit Richel with, but it wasn't as if she normally went around provoking attacks to begin with?
Well, it was something to deal with later down the road, if and when it came up.
