Quote: Prompt 12 (Cold Blooded): Pearly white snow is a common sight in Destiny City, so seeing, ivory lumps around the city really isn’t so strange. Until they move. The ones the size of an iguana, or the mountains of small, gecko-like lizards that travel together, probably aren’t that intimidating. The ones the size of a komodo dragon? Those are scary. Though they range in size, they have a few things in common: sharp nails that let them climb up nearly any surface, sharp teeth that feel like being gnawed on by icicles, and scales so cold that it feels like being freezer-burned. All lizards seem to like sleeping in the snow, but the larger they are, the more solitary they travel. It isn’t uncommon to see one very large lizard, a handful of iguana-sized lizards, or two or three dozens (or more!) smaller lizards in a single grouping. They seem to mind their own business unless they are hungry, or if you get too close. It’s just, it’s hard to avoid them when they look just like snow--or when they fall out of trees on top of you? These lizards love the snow, and they love chewing on people, too. Whether it’s out of hunger or agitation, if you make the mistake of getting too close to one, they will attack–even if unprovoked. They’re fast. They’re vicious. They have a strange habit of disappearing mid battle with a camouflage you just cannot detect. It’s impossible to kill or capture one, and strangely enough there doesn’t seem to be any reports of these lizards anywhere. They seem like ordinary lizards, just very cold blooded. They don’t have an aura or seem to be magical, but something just isn’t adding up here, anyway. Note: The lizard is not a youma but can be used as a battle requirement for a character. It can only be used as a battle if there are two powered characters involved; you cannot write a solo and count this as a battle, and your character must be powered to meet battle requirements. You can use the prompt for as many characters as you like and it will count as a battle requirement, however if you repeat the prompt with the same character, only the first time will be usable as a battle. The snow was very pretty and white tonight. Gault was in the park for the umpteenth time because he just couldn't stay away, a little more alert considering he was still recovering from having a damned arrow embedded in his side. He had to lie to his parents and Daisy when she managed to hug him just a bit too hard. The tiny senshi huffed and kicked a rock, complaining and mumbling about big Olaf's and their stupid arrows with their hot girlfriends, flopping down on his back in the snow. The cold caused him to shiver, but it also felt pretty refreshing as well, and thus he decided that making a snow angel while out on patrol was the right thing to do. He smiled and laughed to himself while moving his arms, thoroughly enjoying himself. Once he was sure his handiwork was complete, he carefully got up, turning around with his hands on his hips. Yep! That was the best snow angel he's ever made so far. He clicked a picture and sent it to his personal phone, making sure nothing of himself could be shown, sending it to Daisy and Theo. Would they question why he was out late? Probably. But he would just say he was bored and needed to spend some energy. He decided to make a snow ball, admiring its weight, launching it at the big mountain of snow that was just ahead of him. When that mini mountain started to move, he became concerned. That wasn't something that was supposed to happen... Neither was the GIANT LIZARD that emerged with a menacing growl. Well s**t. Gault prepared himself, hoping he wouldn't be going home with anymore puncture wounds, he wasn't sure WHAT excuse he would be able to give this time.

White puffs swirled in the air when ever he breathed out much to his amusement. There was no Negaverse reason he was out tonight, Huntite was simply going for a rooftop run and seeing what chaos might come about. He had just leapt to the next rooftop when he realized there was the familiar feeling of an Order signature. The Captain paused on the snow covered roof for only a moment before he started to head towards one of the parks of the city where he felt the Senshi.
By the time he arrived to where the, unfortunately familiar, Senshi was said Senshi was in a stare down with one of the largest lizards Huntite had ever seen outside of a zoo. After not even a moments hesitation, Huntite leaned against a nearby tree and let his body language scream that he was relaxed and unbothered. "Well, looks like you are in a bit of a tight spot, brat." He said, tone amused.

Gault fought the urge to roll his eyes. Was his luck that bad today?! Taking a deep breath, the senshi looked over towards the big olaf, annoyance clear on his face. "Nooooooo, what made you think that?" He didn't have time to fight a lizard and a captain so something had to give. Instead of asking for another arrow to the side, the small senshi took a deep breath, "Wanna I dunno, help me out with one of those fancy arrows? I promise not to ogle or hit on your girlfriend next time she shows up or I run into her." Was he lying? Kinda? To be fair if there is a curvy woman around it was natural to stare just a little. Granted he only openly stared at Protogenia because it seemed to piss off the tree trunk and he just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Did that result in the a*****e sending his pet youma after him? Yes. Was he going to inform Proto next time he saw her? Oh hell yes! Maybe look all scared too just to lay on the pity vibes, and maybe make Hunt look bad, that would be a nice bonus. Apparently he took too long because the lizard started to charge towards him, mouth opened to clearly make him into a snack instead of a living human being. Gault yelped and snapped the fingers on his left hand, hoping the fumes would cause the stupid creature to slow down while he thought of a solution just in case the big muscle for brains wanted to leave him to suffer.

The look of annoyance was pretty clear and that did not fail to amuse Huntite farther. It did surprise him though when the Senshi asked him for help with the lizard. Was that something that White Moon Senshi thought was normal or was it just this ones naivety that made teaming up with a Negaverse Agent against an overgrown, unnaturally so, animal something feasible when only they were getting attacked?
Still the offer to behave when in Proto's presence was tempting, though probably a lie.
Also, if asked about it, or rather probably taunted in this case, on if he was worried about Fenrir chasing the brat being told to his girlfriend he would have easily admit to not being bothered. For multiple reasons.
Before he had fully considered if he would take up the Order brat on his offer, the lizard attacked. Huntite reacted by jumping up into a large tree a bit away from the now fighting duo when he saw the Senshi about to use his magic, picking the tree mainly for the distance not to smell the magic again himself. "What did you even do to piss it off anyway, brat?" He drawled out as he summoned his bow and arrows. He didn't shoot yet though as he was still debating on a target.

To be fair, Gault didn't exactly remember what he did wrong here. Once caught in the fumes, the lizard snarled, shaking its head to get rid of the sensation. The smaller senshi used that time to grab the biggest stick that he could, taking a swing to hit the creature with all his might. The stick hit its target and the lizard's head flew up in the air and bounced back down just as hard. Not trying to give the creature a single second to recover, Gault ran towards the lizard, raising his leg to bring th heel of his foot down on its head. However, the lizard was smarter this time, dodging just when the foot would make contact, swiping at the senshi's leg with its long nails. Gault took the swipe, but not without a grunt of pain. "I dont know what I did, I was just throwing snowballs at random! NOW can you help me?" Of course since most of his run-ins with the chaos side of things haven't exactly been the best, the brown senshi he ran into was pretty helpful and despite the fact that he was an a**, the Olaf seemed like alright people already.

Huntite raised an eyebrow when the idiot mentioned he was throwing random snowballs. "Ah yes, no clue what you possibly could have done to tick off the overgrown lizard." He said, sarcasm dripping from his words. Still he did eventually knock an arrow to his bow and he took aim after the lizard landed a hit on the Senshi. "Fine, I guess I can help this one time." He spoke only after he let the arrow fly. While it didn't manage to hit the lizard directly, it did force it to back away from Gault a bit to give him breathing room.
The Captain got another arrow ready, sighting down his next shot. Of course if he decided to switch targets at some point if he changed his mind, when he was sure his General at least would approve.

Gault looked up at the captain with a genuine smile of gratitude. Once the lizard backed away, the smaller senshi went in, dashing to dodge another swipe of its claws he raised his foot up again to have it crashing down on the lizard's side. The stupid thing cried out, hissing and showing its sharp teeth. Gault wasn't done though, he snapped his fingers again, unleashing the stench back in the area. While he thought the oaf was okay today that didn't mean he completely trusted him not to try anything. He knew his power was not going to stop an arrow from hitting him in the back but at least it would keep him from getting close.

The lizard seemed to try and take a chunk out of the Senshi in retaliation but another arrow from Huntite had it deciding enough was enough. The Captain watched as the giant lizard gave a hiss of displeasure and scurry off into the snow. It blended so well and was apparently a fast digger as it very quickly disappeared from even Huntite's practiced eye.
"Well, that was pretty par for the course in this city." He drawled as he summoned the arrows he shot earlier to his hand. After giving them a careful once over, spending energy to fix broken arrows was not on his to do list today, he banished them back into his weapon space. "Remember your bargain kid." That said, he decided to play 'nice' for the moment and teleported away to start heading home.

Gault couldn't help sticking out his tongue at the space the captain had disappeared from, happy that the stupid lizard was finally gone. He used this time to take off as well, looking around just incase a certain youma was following him. He really didn't feel like running for his life at the moment.
