Yet another night and he was out again, it seemed he'd been out every night since being yanked into space. He hadn't given himself a break in his hunt to see what information he might gather from others, be they senshi or knight, he was doing his best to try and gather information which he could than bring to his Queen.
Tonight he wasn't looking for anyone in particular, he was out of ideas for who to seek out, so he was hoping to just run into those who were of equal rank to himself. Those who had been around long enough to perhaps know something, to have some knowledge from the past or acess to such information. There had to be records up in space that some of them had acess to, right? He knew some about senshi and knights but what they knew, didn't know, or could even know...that was a bit up in the air. He didn't exactly go talking to them all that often, till now it seemed.
His hands were in his pockets as he walked, trying to look as casual as possible, he didn't want to come off as a threat or that he might be looking for a fight. He wasn't and he wanted that to come across to whoever he might run into.

Hugbell always gravitated towards playgrounds and parks, tonight she was perched on a jungle gym watching the stars with Barnaby beside her. She'd seen rumors lately about weird static storms and was curious but she hadn't stretched her legs on her homeworld since the issues started and was starting to think maybe she should go back to see what was going on.
Mid-thought she felt the energy signature, it had been a while since she'd bothered to speak to anyone in the negaverse but, she was hoping it was an old friend, though she wasn't even sure if they were alive anymore at this point.
When Benitoite came into view she was looking at him upside down. "Well hello." She said softly not trying to startle him as he to seemed deep in thought. She also hoped he wasn't one to just start a fight for no reason, as she'd remembered some often just attack first and ask questions later.

He had felt the eternal, how could he miss it, and his course had altered just a bit...just enough to bring him here. Looking at her he paused for a moment, that uniform and those colors seemed so soft...and yet clearly an adult. How interesting, it certainly made her look younger than she very well might be. He did, for a moment, wonder what she was senshi of. But his focus changed then - manners after all.
"Evening." Nodding his head as he drew closer. "I hope you've been well tonight." Considering the storms they'd been having and people struck with lightening even. It was a terrible situation all around, and worse was he had some clue of what was going on, he did not like his posistion in this all one bit. But he was glad for it, glad he had a clue and could prepare himself and his family for whatever was coming. "All things considered." Motioning up above, to the night sky, it was still not a good night, he didn't know why people were still out about given how things had been recently. If he didn't have a reason to be out, one that this important, he would not be leaving his home.

Hugbell smiled when the offer said he hoped she'd been well tonight, "Indeed, I hope you have been as well."
She looked back up to the sky before turning around where she could properly face Benitoite; "Yes, the sky is very interesting."
The senshi of comfort sighed softly, "I need to go check on my homeworld and see if the reports are true that it's also there." She'd heard through the grape vine and then reading the posts that popped up occasionally that mentioned this storm on homeworlds and wonders. It was concerning to say the least and she wasn't sure she wanted to go alone just on the fact sometimes two heads were better than one when something strange was going on.
"What brings you this evening?" She asked curiously wondering why the negaverse agent was out and if it had anything to do with the strange colored sky.

"I have been well, though this is rather...concerning." Gesturing above them once more. I believe I was in space recently - at the start of this." This one was young, and looked rather gentle, he wasn't sure if she actually was as gentle as she looked though. He knew better...senshi were still senshi and order was still order. But she was talking nicely enough, and she was speaking about what was on his mind - perfect.
"I'm out keeping an eye on things and to see if senshi and knights are experiencing things in space as well." Stepping forward he offered a hand to her. "Why don't you allow me to escort you to your homeworld. What it seems is happening, if it is in space, I fear it may not be safe for you and I can teleport." It would help to see what it looked like in space, if it was up on her homeworld. She was already saying it was on other planets, or so she was hearing.
"I can, if you'd like, fill you in on some of what happened to myself and a few others? Though I will say, I don't know much and a lot is speculation so I'll leave that out. What is important is that a serious threat looms." And if every senshi, and knight, could see the signs of it...just how powerful was this creature? Could they seal it away given how powerful it seemed to be, he was starting to worry about things.

Hugbell's brow knitted as Beni was speaking and sat looking thoughtful. He didn't seem to be one that was just going to ambush her and she felt fairly safe that he couldn't try to corrupt her thanks to the fact she was transcendent. So she shrugged softly and moved from her perch on the jungle gym.
"I suppose if you insist on offering me some company it sounds rather fun. We can go investigate and see what we can find." She shrugged softly taking the offered hand. "And yes, please inform me of what you know, I'm curious."
The Eternal paused her homeworld had been calling and if he was a threat she was sure she could have him ejected fairly easy enough. "I hope you've traveled to space before if not hold on to your hat."
There was a chuckle before she closed her eyes and whisked the pair of them off to her homeworld. When they landed she looked around, the center of the city of Hugbell, the houses and all nestled in bases of trees. She sighed, it still felt creepy to her, she needed to come do more work. After all, what use to be a pastel vibrant place for kids perhaps more like a carnival feel. This part of the city felt different than the buildings that mimicked toys elsewhere. And some things felt slightly smaller scaled; there was almost a cottage core vibe here as she looked around.
"Welp, here we are." She said softly looking towards the sky, which was purple.

"I have, though I doubt I've traveled as much as you have." Given her markings and what those meant. He was wondering how far into space things were acting up, there had to be places that weren't seeing issues. He did take her hand though and kept close to her side, because he wasn't risking anything here.
When they did land he took his time to look around, moving from her side only a few feet. "Does anything seem off at all? If tehre is anything please, let me know. I'd like to note any changes, especially if they seem negative in any way." Having turned to look over his shoulder at her, he'd walked over to inspect some little house that was inside a tree. How interesting it must be - to live inside a tree.
"Some beast, imprisoned in space, and it seems to be getting itself free. It's destroyed a world, or more, before. That's what's coming and we'll have to stop it. A space snake essentially...and I have a feeling it's not happy and it's hungry." Turning to fully face the younger he made his way towards her. "It's got enough strength homeworlds in space are feeling it..." That was why he wanted to know about things here - in space. He didn't think she, with how her homeworld looked, would have a clue about the serpent or the spikes. It didn't seem like the culture to have a hand in fighting, in killing, or any sort of agression.

Hugbell paused softly and gave a chuckle, "Perhaps."
He seemed very interested in if something seemed off and she softly stepped walking towards the little houses, "The sky is more purple than normal. Not to mention I can feel a charge in the air."
She adjusted her hood as she made sure that Barnaby was with her, and activated his bow so he could walk around close to her. She stopped listening to him about a beast imprisoned in space and frowned heavily. Looking down towards Barnaby, "Ah sounds like we'll need to be prepared to fight it."
She looked around, perhaps she'd be in trouble if the creature wanted to eat her homeworld it'd do just that. However, that would leave the question - would she survive if the homeworld would simply cease to exist.

"Yes, we all will." He spoke, moving into step beside her. "The walking teddy bear was..interesting, if not a touch cute as well. He could imagine some of his younger cousins loving something like that, a teddy bear to follow them around, it would be popular amongst his family members. A shame such a thing wasn't possible, not where the bear followed the owner and didn't just walk in a stright line.
"It'll be a fight we all need to participate in - together." As much as he might not like it, though he had once lent his weapon to a knight with a better throwing arm, he was willing to concede to this due to the need for numbers and strength. There was no way this would be won without them all working together...he just hoped they could do it, order wasn't exactly known for working together and having discipline.
"It'll be one of those rare times where we come together to fight for the same thing." For Earth, even if he wouldn't mind seeing senshi, and knights, return to their planets up in space. Right now they were needed here. "A charge in the air though....anything negative feeling, aside from myself?" Looking around, it was a quaint little planet, almost as cute as the little teddy at her side. He supposed the uniform, the bear, and it all worked together and juist - fit.

Hugbell looked towards Beni when he said they would all have to fight. She continued to walk towards the direction she knew the castle was in, which you could see little spires peeking over the village they were in.
"I do wish all of us could get along and not fight. I believe one can't exist without the other. I'm sure that probably sounds silly to you." She paused looking at Beni, "I should probably be one to resent the negaverse as much as anyone considering how as a chibi I was attacked by a deranged officer but I don't believe he was himself. I suppose sometimes chaos can be maddening depending on the temperament of the person, which we can be the same way."
She looked around, "Nothing really of note, I've had chaos here before; attacking. It doesn't feel like there's any unknown danger lurking. I believe my homeworld would tell me if there were." She sighed, "I should come up here more often and do actual work to see if I can't get something going again. As is it's pretty unlivable."
Hugbell shrugged, "Maybe we can find something useful in the castle." The bear continued to walk with them, "Do you see anything Barnaby?" She asked curiously looking down to the bear, which shook it's head no.

"In this case we must fight, even if we are not so inclined, at least it is not amongst ourselves if that is any consolation." Because he did understand some who did not wish to fight, for whatever reason they had, he was not one of thsoe people but he understood it. "I do understand having one to have the other...the whole how can you have good if not for bad so you know what good is. I get that. Or the light being needed to have darkness as the darkness is the shadow of the light. Or even a balance that's needed..one to balance the other as either can go too far...to extreme." He'd seen a senshi pull a gun on officers, and use it, to kill them. Order gone too far if you asked him. It was possible, without a doubt.
"I would say the best way of putting it is that power can corrupt anyone, if they are of such temperment to be swayed by power. For good or for bad it doesn't matter with them - it is power and it is weilded by them for evil in the end...no matter what veil they cover it with. You can kidnap, torture, and kill officers and claim it's for goodness but it is still evil." He did not agree with torture...killing was fine, there were just lines one shouldn't cross, but it was all a matter of personal opinion. If he were to every talk, at length, about his opiniosn on matters he was rather firm in things but he did split hairs. He'd also admit there were exceptions to things, there always had to be, but he had morals.
"It's good if nothing has changed here, aside from the weather, perhaps that will be all. But yes, let us see the castle before we make a final call on things here."

Hugbell smiled softly though it was a pained smile, "Oh I know we must fight, at least we'll all be on the same side."
She placed her arms behind her head as she walked Barnaby occasionally running in front of her and she watched as the bear explored. "You're not wrong, power no matter if it's order or chaos; or even normal human power corrupts."
She shrugged softly, "I've heard." She responded in response to the facts of kidnapping and torture. She was aware of the terrible things that had happened in the past.
"Yes, it means we still have time." She said softly looking around, "I feel as if we may not have much time though. Knowing how things have gone in the past." The castle wasn't much further, "We can check the library, I don't know what we'll find there but it may have something."

"Yes, for once we will be on the same side...with as many of us as we can bring to bare we might just see this to the end and come out the other side." They had no choice really, they had to win, to think of any other option was foolish. He had finally managed to push his own worry, and nerves, to the back so he could focus better on winning and what it would take to do so.
"No, I don't think we'll have much time either. It means we must do whatever it takes to prepare for this, by any means, because right now the ends do justify the means." Energy draining, by whatever means, was should be accepted by order as it was needed to help them in this fight - to save everyone.
"Let us hope there is something there. I can then show you the pictures from it's prison where it had been contained. It at least gives some idea of what must be done - what had once been done." Keeping up with the other his gaze kept moving to the walking teddy bear. It was cute and damn it if he didn't know several people who would love a bear like that themselves.

She nodded when he said for once they would be on the same side. She did however look at him curiously when he said the ends justify the means, but didn't say anything. She hoped that didn't mean there would be more starseed pulling from them than normal. Those poor people living without a starseed stuck in a coma in the hospital. While it was rarely covered now a days that another person had ended up in coma it didn't mean it didn't still happen.
"It's the most likely place to find information if there's anything. But if it was as dangerous as it sounds, I'm not sure what information will be here." She looked towards Barnaby who was already up the castle steps and she walked up them as well, looking for a moment to see which way she should go.
She didn't visit the library often and she should probably change that but she caught a glimpse of her past life self heading in a direction and she followed, "This way." At least, her homeworld most likely knew what she was after.
"So the prison you ended up in, could you tell if it was anywhere in particular in space or did it seem like it was it's own little area? By that I mean did it look like a city had been there prior or just kind of desolate more so than the current state of my homeworld." She was curious if it was someone's home world or wonder. It was like she acknowledged that the homeworld was unlivable still. The fact bothered her some and after this was all over she knew she needed to work to fix that issue.

"Considering planets didn't survive it I doubt many were able to flee and speak of it." But perhaps places had, from a distance, witnessed things? Seen the remains? He couldn't imagine a nearby planet surviving once it was done with their neighbor.
Walking at her side, up the steps, he followed after what he could only assume was a ghost from the ancient past of this planet. How interesting to see such, a real ghost and it was helping them it seemed. "No, I couldn't tell. There were no windows, when we arrived it was pitch black. I wonder if it wasn't floating along in space. The room had murals on the walls, each telling of how the beast was chained up, something we'll have to do once again. The floor was marked in the same manner as the spikes teethering it down were placed. It was a prison - we were in it's prison. The only saving grace was that it was not in the same area...we had limited access though." And here he pulled out his tablet to show her the wall art. "This was the room we were in, the art showing what was done in the ancient past. There are new spikes, unused, as if they knew this would happen and we'd need to recapture it."
Which meant it might happen again in the future, a concept he disliked, this shouldn't be a burden they left alive for others to potentially face again. The next time there would be no new spikes waiting for them...they'd be in deep trouble the next time.
Flipping through the mural pictures, showing them to the senshi, maybe the ghost would show them something similar to one of these pictures.
