((Gah, sorry I got so behind!!! Trying to get ready for the holidays has drained me, so I haven't paid much attention here ^^0 Time to change that!))
Celeste Lewis- what the? Celeste had been having no luck finding that one store she just had to shop in. She was dipping in and out of the crowds looking into store windows. Not a single outfit was hitting her just right. It was normal, she wasn't a girly girl, but still SOMETHING had to say work clothes. Then the screaming and choas started. Something about a fight, then senshi. Celeste was confused. She made her way through the crowds, going toward the mess. She just wanted to see what was going on, then she'd run. When she arrived, there waere girls in strange outfits and someone pinned under debris. What the heck was going on?
Nagori Shan/ Sailor Mnemosyne- More have arrived. Nagori had to run to the mall to check on the new line that was launching. She had helpped design a few pieces for a local store and was asked to see how they were being recived. She fought through the crowds and was almost to the front of the store, when she felt it. A tremor through her body. More have arrived. she quickly exited the screaming crowd and ran into a bathroom. and transformed. Nemesis must know who was around now. She had yet to check in, but she had a lot of memories in store for her mistress.
Mnemosyne made her way from the bathroom and through the crowd to the fight. She stayed back, as much out of sight as she possibly could, and watched as Ares and Ouranos made their moves. What troubled her most was that Saturn was awake... Nemesis would not like this.

[ Phoenix Nigel-Sebastian - It's all a publicity stunt, right? ]
"And I thought today was going to be boring." Phoenix cringed as he watched the man near the wall try to pry a fallen piece of debris from his leg. "They sure are getting their money's worth from these guys aren't they?" he asked the man next to him as two more warriors suddenly appeared. He was sure it was all a stunt by some company. Probably a clothing store based on the variety of designs.
'I have got to start bringing my damn camera with me on these little 'trips'.'
He didn't hear the response of the man standing beside him as he was suddenly distracted by the appearance of the blue-haired woman he had seen earlier that day. Moving closer to where she was standing, he tried to keep one eye on the fighting and the other on Celeste.
[ Sailor Ares - Targets ]
With her fellow Shade busy fighting Saturn and the poor guy from before, Ares had moved to the side to watch. When Mercury appeared, she moved to place herself between the 'Ice Princess' and the fight. "I think it's you who should leave, little princess." She glanced at the man beside Mercury only long enough to determine that it was her Guardian. "This fight doesn't concern you. But I'm sure Hermes would be glad to know you're back."
She waved her hand toward the blood her earlier attack had produced and pulled it toward her staff, increasing it's length by several inches. With only the bravest (dumbest?) onlookers remaining to watch, her number of future targets was limited. There was another presence somewhere in the crowd, but it wasn't one she recognized. 'If it's another one of THEM, we're in trouble.'

Ouranos - This is Going to Be Fun
Ouranos dodged the feint and brought her hammer up to block the second blade. Although Saturn had the advantage in more weapons, Ouranos knew that if she stayed in close, they wouldn't be able to use their formidable reach. She proceeded into a flurry of kicks, punches, and hammer swings, aiming to knock Saturn into the rubble that was currently keeping her boyfriend pinned. Ah, that reminds me. She let up in her attack for a brief moment to snap her fingers.
"Did I forget to mention, Saturn, that I Defy Gravity?"
Instantly the space around them shifted, with the gravity increasing to five times that of normal Earth's. The average human wouldn't be able to stand it but they were Senshi. It was enough to give her an advantage though. Once the gravity was in place, she continued her relentless assault, looking for the smallest opening or break in her opponent's defense.
Charon - Free, Yeah!
Charon managed to pull himself from the rubble and roll away from where Saturn and Ouranos were fighting. As he got away from the main focus of the battle, he noticed another figure clad in battle gear (a coat that frivolous really didn't belong in a fight) and decided to deal with her, since Saturn seemed to have her opponent well in hand. He straightened and using his oar to help hide his slight limp, he approached the spectator on the sidelines, a menacing figure with a face hidden entirely in the shadow of his hood.
"So, it seems we have a spy. But for which side I wonder?" His voice was low and gravely as he stood before her.

[[ Maia ]]
Maia kept himself reserved on the outside, but inside he was a loaded trap, ready to strike. At the mention of Hermes, he cringed. If he knew his Roman-Greek name equivalents, then his woman's use of the name 'Hermes' didn't mean that this individual was on their side. "Be it Hermes, Hera, or Zeus himself, they'll have to go through me, first." Maia took a step forward and swung the Sfyri to cross Mercury's path. If any danger were to come to her, it had to come to him first.

{ Sailor Mercury :: Mine's bigger }
Mercury shifted the positioning of her hands on Caduceus, not taking her eyes from the Shade even as Maia placed his weapon between them. "Well spoken, Maia." She said evenly. "False senshi, any fight that involves my comrades involves me. Though I am not without mercy. I would be willing to allow you to step away from this scene, regardless of which of my comrades you you have quarrel with." She could not remember the final battle clearly; Mercury's memories involves anguish and blood and pain, not specific names-to-faces. Though the warrior within her warned another battle was near-imminent, the princess still longed for peace, and for Maia to remain safe.
I cannot lost him again.

[ Sailor Ares - Permission ]
"Zeus, HIMself? She may find that funny and kill you quickly for it."
'IF she's come back.' Ares narrowed her eyes at Mercury. "False? You are mistaken. It is you and your comrades that are false." As she spoke, she had moved one hand to her side in preparation for her attack. It wouldn't produce as much blood as she would have liked, they were too far away for that, but seeing the senshi bleed might make the Guardian back off.
"And I do not need your permission to leave this fight. You need mine. Blood Strike." Ares flung the attack more toward Mercury than Maia, then charged at the Guardian, using her staff to try to sweep his feet out from under him.

[[ MAia - The Trap is Sprung ]]
Like a sprung trap, Maia reacted. He could not see an attack, but took no chance and kicked his princess in her side to shove her out of the way of whatever that 'Blood Strike' could be. (He did so with less gentleness than he would have liked, looking back) He brought up his staff to defend himself, but in getting his princess out of the way, however, he left himself not enough time to react to Ares taking out his legs from beneath him. He landed on his back with a solid 'thud,' ever maintaining a grip on his staff. From his floored position, he swung around the hammer end to strike at Ares' own side, hoping he had enough momentum from lying on the floor.

((OOC: Sorry for the delay, I had no idea WTF to post T_T))
[ Sailor Saturn ~ This is not a good sign... ]
Something felt odd.
At first, it seemed like nothing happened when Ouranos said she defied gravity, but then Saturn started to feel a weight on her shoulders. And more weight. And more. Suddenly, the parts on her adorned with heavy armor felt like she was wading through knee-deep molasses, and the extra weight on her didn't help things, either.
Blast it, of all the times to be wearing armor-- Saturn had to think quickly though, for the increased gravity didn't effect her opponent in the slightest. It was all Saturn could do to avoid the attacks thrown at her, just barely able to fend them off with her katana or gauntlets.
But with the added gravity, the force of Ouranos' hammer had an extra...punch to it. Crossing her blades before an offending attack, Saturn managed to catch the hammer with the Irakage...but with the access gravity, the bone of the blades easily cracked under pressure.
Things were just going from bad to worse.
Saturn barely managed to move her torso backwards away from the hammer and her shattered blades, hissing a string of mental curses over her bad luck. One thing was for certain: this whole ordeal was about to get extremely unpleasant.
Saturn managed to block another blow from the hammer with her gauntlet, but the force of it managed to push her down onto one knee. Despite being forced into a weak position, all Saturn could think about was all of the civilians standing around and gawking, and how they were all going to be dead very, very soon.

{ Sailor Mercury :: Oh no, not again! }
Everything happened too quickly for Mercury to react initially. She felt the impact of Maia's foot against her side, and she sprawled entirely inelegantly onto the floor, momentarily trapping her hand beneath Caduceus. She rolled sideways in time to see Maia impacted by the woman's - Ares' - weapon, saw him fall. She noticed he was still moving, but for a moment all she saw was her dear, beloved, guardian fall, like before. She panicked, for a second, and couldn't figure out how to do anything.
Then everything came back into sharp focus, and she got up to her feet, feeling bruised and angry. How dare this woman. How dare she? She dropped to one knee, placing her free hand on the floor and whispering to herself. Her hand began to glow, and she rose to her feet, switching Caduceus to that hand and the staff took on the same glow. With a swift movement she span her staff and herself, creating a small, ice-filled whirlwind, which she directed at Ares.

Charon - Crap, Can't Play With you Now Ouranos - Come Play With Me Instead...
"Well? I'm waiting for an-"
He cut off and looked over his shoulder when he heard a crack. Ouranos was still attacking Saturn only this time she'd managed to break her bone blades. Charon felt the blood drain from his face. If she's lost those swords, all she has left to draw...is the Kurogami. He turned to glare at Mnemosyne.
"Seems I can't play with you right now. But I won't forget your face."
With that, he turned, shedding his cloak as he did rushed to help Saturn. The garment scattered into mist as soon as it landed on the floor, revealing Charon in his full costume. Luckily for him, he wasn't wearing much armor so when he entered the heavy gravity field, he only staggered a little before he swung his oar and blocked a blow Ouranos had intended for Saturn. Ouranos stumbled back but smirked and spun her hammer.
"So you want to play now? All right."
Charon glanced over his shoulder at Saturn. "Get the civilians out of here if you can. I'll keep her occupied. If you draw the Kuro-" He dodged when Ouranos swung at him and danced out of range of her hammer, using his oar to hit her across the shoulders.
Ouranos barely winced and shifted her attention to Charon. She swung her hammer in circles again as the head started to glow with light, the sign of her Burden of Atlas attack. Charon stood with his oar, braced and ready to either block or dodge. I have to keep her focus on me. If Saturn has to draw the Kurogami, since her other weapons were shattered, things could get very, very bad.
"Well come on, or are you all show and no substance?" he urged.
"You've got quite the mouth on you. Perhaps I should shut you up with another kick in your chest." And she swung her hammer, closing in on Charon.

[ Sailor Saturn ~ What is this "help" you speak of? ]
The gravity seemed to be wearing off, but the visions in Saturn's head didn't. Already, she knew that no matter what she did, innocent people were going to die. So far, she wasn't doing a very good job of conquering her own demons, and this was a bit...unsettling to her. Saturn was already cheesed off as it was - but she had to control her anger if anyone surrounding her were going to survive.
Charon swooped in like a knight in not-so-shining armor, and told her to go assist the civilians. He knew what it meant if she used the black mass attached to her back, even if she never drew the blade completely.
Downside is, she wasn't very good at this concept of "help."
"Charon, you should know I'm only good for one thing...death and destruction." Saturn said as she rose back up to her feet. "Any time I attempt to, I end up making it worse."

(OOC: Having trouble getting the board to load.)
[ Sailor Ares / Double Play ]
Maia's swing hit Ares in the ribs as she was trying to straighten herself up from her own swing. The impact knocked her off-balance, sending her crashing to the floor and leaving a nice bruise on her side. She'd have to take time once this was over to try and hide it, but there was no time to worry about it now. Getting back to her feet, she realized that Mercury was forming an attack. Ares knew she'd have to act quick to avoid whatever the Ice Princess had in store.
Knowing there was no time to form her own attack again, she ran toward a trapped group of bystanders, using the claws on her gloves to slash at them. "I'm sorry," she said quietly before using their blood and her own to form a barrier around herself just as the icy wind hit. The blood on the outside froze instantly, but the closer it was to her stayed liquid, blocking most of the ice shards from getting through.
[ Phoenix Nigel-Sebastian / Scary vs. Not-so-scary ]
Phoenix really wished he had brought his camera now. On one side of the fight, gravity was so intense that bystanders were pinned to the floor, unable to move or worse. On the other side, a few people had managed to escape while the fighters had been distracted with each other, until the creepy guy with the foggy cloak appeared. Phoenix was sure he wasn't the only one who couldn't really tell who was supposed to be the 'good' guys and who was 'bad'. The fight appeared to be four to two with the scarier ones outnumbering the not-so-scaries. Or was it three on three with the bad guys in darker colors than the good ones?
Someone behind him pushed the distracted designer toward the exit while the woman with the bloody staff attacked the guy in purple. The little group he found himself in started making their way away from the fight when things seemed to shift again. One pink-haired woman was standing in front of them, slicing the skin of the people in the front. Phoenix thought he must be hearing things. He could have sworn he heard her say she was sorry. The attack from the other pink-haired woman slammed into some kind of barrier around the first and shards of ice went flying in all directions.
Phoenix brought his hands up to protect his face, but could feel the ice slicing into his skin. 'Not so sure the icy one is a good guy after all.'

(Mnemosyne- Forget, never) She was watching the battle carefully. Mnemsoyne didn't want to miss anything for Nemesis. Then she knew what her focus should be on...Saturn. Mnemsoyne got into a safe and un obsucred place, then watched. Her eyes took in every little movement of the senshi and her reactions to being attacked. Mnemsoyne's "gift" would be a triumph here. Her concentration only broke once, when Charon approced her. Inside she was scared stiff on someone attacking her. However, she made sure it didn't show. She said not a word, then Charon's attention was turned back toward the fight.
"I won't forget your face"
Mnemosyne smirked and talked ever so silently. "No, I won't forget YOUR face, and neither shall my mistresses." Her eyes focused on Saturn again until it hit her... Charon was a key player with Saturn... they had a connection of some sort... Why else would he go to the aid of the senshi of destruction. Saturn shouldn't need help...should she?
(Celeste Lewis- I'm out of here...wait) Celeste couldn't believe her eyes. There is just something so worng about what was unfolding before her, and yet she didn't understand a single bit of why. She watched one of the women before her run toward a crowd of people. Before Celeste could even form words, the lady has clawed them. Then the blood formed a barrier. Wait.. did that just happen... Celeste had had enough and was about to run when she smelled something... close. Blood! Celeste turned her head to see ice shard slam into a man not extremly far from her. She made her way toward Phoenix to see waht she could do to get them both out of there.

Charon - All Right You Have a Point-OH GOD!
Even though he was busy with Ouranos, Charon still heard Saturn when she said she only had a knack for causing death and destruction. He then knocked Ouranos back several feet with a good jab to her midsection, whirled around, and offered Saturn his oar.
"Here then. Use this to hold her back for now. You have my permission, so you should be able to grasp it. I'll go see to the civilians before this gets any messier."
Charon had an uneasy feeling. They may have outnumbered the Shade Senshi, but they were only barely holding ground. Something had to give in order for one or the other side to take the advantage. Otherwise we're going to be stuck here all day and there's going to be law enforcement to deal with.
"Take it, please, I know you can-"
Pain. Pain exploded in his back and he saw nothing but darkness before he crumpled to the floor. Ouranos had recovered from the blow and in anger and retaliation used Charon's distraction to once again throw her hammer. This time though, she'd hit him right at the small of his back with enough force to shatter a normal person's spine. She raised an eyebrow at Saturn as she came over, hammer back in her hands as if to ask:
"What are you going to do about it?"

((OOC: Guys things are about to get really ugly. I suggest all civvies RUN THE HELL AWAY kthx. Note that while Saturn's attack is huge and destructive, no one has to die in it! Just a little note beforehand )) [ Sailor Saturn ~ Oh no you didn't... ] Oh no. Nonononono. The Song had begun to scream in Saturn's head, and the visions of death multiplied when Charon handed her his oar. It was almost as if she was seeing nothing but red, and this was a very, very bad sign. She hadn't experienced this kind of vision since-- Then it happened. Charon crumpled to the ground, struck from behind. Ouranos had hit him while he was distracted, and now seemed to be taunting the Soldier of Destruction with her look. For a moment, the visions and Song stopped, and all Saturn could hear was her own heartbeat. Although she showed no outward signs of any kind of change in her emotions, inside she was a hurricane ready to lay waste to everyone and everything. Calmly, a gauntlet reached for the blade strapped to her back. Saturn's pale eyes remained focused on the ground as she ritualistically undid the first layer of restraints. The straps fell to the ground and the silk cover toppled down on top of it. She kept the second layer of straps intact, for if she ever fully drew the blade, a good chunk of Tokyo would be destroyed. Saturn raised her eyes then her head to meet Ouranos' taunting gaze. She looked as controlled as ever, her eyes showed the pure rage within them. The Kurogami had come out. "Ebon Pulse." Saturn's voice came out in a low hiss, the blade pulsating with dark energy. Swinging the massive nodachi down, she released a massive blast of destructive energy towards Ouranos. Even if it didn't hit, it would likely destroy most - if not all - of the mall behind her and likely injure a lot of people, but right now...Saturn was pissed and didn't care about the consequences anymore.
