Asuka was....well, not very good at going out powered. She was, on the whole, not exactly the best Senshi, and more often than not, she used her abilities to sneak into places to get the lay of the land for YouTube content. Not exactly the most moral thing to do, but whatever.
The thing was, she was still a Dark Mirror, and the Court had given her all these cool abilities, and even a powerup. So probably, she should appreciate that more. Get out. Do things. Drain energy.
Which was what she'd chosen to do, tonight; tucked away in an alley just off a street lined with little walk-in shops and restaurants, she let her wraith whisk through groups of evening shoppers as they went by. Easy peasy, and she'd get to send her contributions back to Mirrorspace with no problems.

Hati took a deep breath, enjoying the way the cold night air bit into his lungs and burned at his throat. It helped him feel alive. The wind blew just right, ruffling his hair, and he closed his eyes to lean into it. "Mm..." It felt so nice. A small smile graced his face as he opened his eyes again, just a little, and kept walking. As relaxed as he felt, his senses were still on alert. Waiting for the moment he would sense trouble. In short order, he did. He noticed a few people stumble suddenly, as if they just walked into a wall made of sheer tiredness, and he perked up, relaxed state falling away as he searched. Ah. I see you, little Mirrorwraith...now, where is your master?He stretched out with his senses and moved towards the Dark Mirror aura, coming up in front of her. "I think you need to go home," he said firmly.

Oh. Dear.
Asuka was not a big girl. She was, in fact, pretty much the opposite: small and waifish and delicate. And now there was a man probably twice her size staring her down, and if she was completely honest? Asuka did not like anything about that.
She didn't consider herself a paranoid person. Few ordinary things were dangerous to her, given magical powers. But another Senshi that massively outclassed her physically, even if they were matched magically? Making what very much sounded like threats? Yeah, that scared her. And frankly, she didn't think she was being paranoid.
"How about you mind your own business?" Asuka said, and then she called on her magic, because she was not going to ******** around. "Onryo's Curse!"Quote: Super Sailor Scout Attack: Onryo's Curse! Asuka speaks the name of her attack, and is briefly surrounded by a thick, cold fog. When she emerges, she has the form of a classic onryo -- long, stringy hair, bloodstained funeral kimono, porcelain-white skin -- and anyone in an 8-foot radius around her will relive a memory in which they caused harm to another person (always larger wrongs at this stage), paired with a feeling that Asuka is here to revenge that wrong. The magic lasts for 35 seconds at this stage, and can be used twice per battle.

Hati stepped backwards once the fog appeared, watching her carefully for whatever effect the magic she just cast would have... And then the monster stepped out of the fog. He backpedaled even more, even as visions of past fights flashed in his eyes, fights where he fought dirty or pounced an unsuspecting Agent and hurt them— badly. And the monster—the monster was here to attack him, to take revenge, to force him to feel exactly the way those people had. His heart rate skyrocketed. Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to try to calm down a little. He could fight this thing, right? It was horrific and sent his skin crawling and he was absolutely terrified of it, but he could still fight this thing, whatever it was. It was still physical. He knew he was strong. He could handle this. And, just in case he couldn't... "Moor Hunt," he growled out, lifting his shaking hands and curling them into fists. He felt rooted to the spot by fear—but he wouldn't let it weigh him down. Noir Songbird A deafening silence settles over everyone within a ten foot radius. Shortly after the silence falls, two deep barks echo through the area, and suddenly every enemy within the radius feels like they are being watched by a large, dangerous creature. The silence can be disorienting; no matter how loud anything is, while the magic is in effect they cannot hear anything but the barks—and maybe the sound of something heavy breathing just behind them. Or worse, breathing on the back of their neck. Paranoia, anxiety and intense fear for the invisible threat are prominent for the duration of the magic, and may persist for longer if the player desires. This attack affects all enemies within fifteen feet and lasts for thirty seconds; it can be used twice per battle.

Well. Apparently this was a bit of a monster mash, if the Senshi's magic was anything to go by. Because Asuka froze--the terrifying onryo, held in place by a fear crawling up her spine. Bringer of vengeance, given pause by dead silence and the knowledge that she was the hunted, not the hunter, for once.
She whirled around, heart hammering in her chest--loud enough that she swore he would have to be able to hear it, except she couldn't, so he probably couldn't, and--
Fear made her yappy. Panicky. She launched herself at him, full body, as if knocking him down (was she even capable of that?) might make this stop, might make the monster go away, might mean she was safe.

Alright, in the spirit of full honesty with himself, Hati had, in fact, completely expected Asuka to turn tail and run at the magic that was cast. He certainly did not anticipate her to rush him head on, as if expecting something to happen from that. He squawked, still held in place by her fear magic, and managed to stay upright by sheer force of will despite the wall of terror that slammed into his chest full force. He shuddered with the weight of it, taking a slight step back to keep his balance, but he didn't shove her to the ground. "G-Go away," he managed to strangle out, despite knowing she couldn't hear him.

It really wasn't very coordinated, the way that Asuka smacked her hands against the much bigger Senshi's chest, even though he'd shrugged off her attempt at a tackle. He might have said something? Maybe? She wasn't entirely sure, but she knew in her heart of hearts that whatever monster was chasing her, it would go away if she made him go away--
For the briefest moment, she wished that she was a Negaverse Senshi, that she could just reach in and pull out his starseed and make this all end. But realistically,t hat was the last thing she wanted--and just thinking about ti made her freeze in place, stomach lurching.
"Take your pet and GO!" She shouted, or at least she thought she shouted it--really, she couldn't hear anything. Not her own voice, not the sound of her hands impacting his chest, nothing at all.
Worse, her magic was starting to run out. Only a few seconds left, and then he wouldn't be afraid of her anymore.

Indeed, the magic evaporated, and while he wasn't afraid of her any longer—he supposed she had suffered enough, and would hopefully go home to lick her wounds instead of stay out and screw with more people. he didn't even really bother pushing her away from him so much as taking a step back and leaping up the nearest building to make his escape along the rooftops. What a night... He wanted to go home and cuddle with Hope.
