Ouranos - May Have Made a Misstep Here
She'd been so pleased with herself. She'd taken down Saturn's rather incompetent "knight" and shown she was willing to do anything to get the advantage. It didn't matter what. So when Saturn began drawing her weapon, Ouranos felt a thrill of excitement. She was going to see the real power of Saturn. Ouranos readied her hammer and remained calm and unruffled.
Until Saturn attacked.
Even Ouranos had felt the power behind that pulsating energy blast and she did the only thing she could do. Get the hell out of the way. Putting all her power into one desperate lunge to the side, she managed to avoid the power blast but she could still feel its tendrils as it trailed after her and smashed into the far wall. Screams from civilians inside reached her ears as the wall broke into tons of rubble that came crashing down on the innocent bystanders below.
Now Ouranos had to do some reevaluating.
The power wielded by Saturn was no laughing matter. If she hadn't managed to get out of the way, she would have ended up in a similar state as the wall. Hell, I probably would have been one with the rubble myself. So she made a snap decision and jumped back towards Ares.
"I think we've overstayed our welcome."

[[ Maia - Get Out da Way! ]]
Saturn's attack was enormous. Maia could't have fathomed such a large attack, and he couldn't fathom how much damage it would cause. Maia forgot about Ares at that moment and clambered up frantically. He pushed himself up and at his princess, taking her arm and pulling her away to run. He looked back over his shoulder as the attack hit. The screams of the innocent fell of deaf ears: His princess was safe. The other villainous senshi joined Ares and Maia was thankful for this. It gave Ares someone else to focus on and Maia did his best to shepard his princess away.

[[ Sailor Mercury --- Oh...hell.. ]]
Seeing her attack hit an innocent civilian made Mercury wince, but she could do nothing about it now; the attack had to run its course, and run its course it did. She gritted her teeth, turning away from the scene, yet knowing it would stay with her until she drew her last breath.
Ice princess, am I? She thought, pursing her lips tightly.
Mercury had little time to further ponder the past, as she felt energy building, and turned in time to see Sailor Saturn move, clearly preparing an attack. Then Maia grabbed her and pulled her away, as the attack exploded.
"Maia!" She snapped, digging her heels in to bring herself and her guardian to a halt. "We must return and attend to the civilians caught." She understood why he had done what he had; his job was to protect her, after all, but Mercury felt responsibility to those left behind. She had engaged the enemy in a public place; part of this was her fault.

[[ Maia -Stubborn is a Stubborn Does ]]
Maia dreaded that sudden jerk as Mercury brought them to a halt. He wasn't fast enough to get them away before she thought about duty over herself. He hesitated, and then turned around. He didn't look at his princess, but rather beyond her to access the situation. At a glance, it looked like most of the civilians were startled or scared, rather than harmed. There was one, however, that seemed injured.
"There seems to be one true injury," Maia said. "At least, of the group that was near us. I do not believe the group affected by Saturn's attack will benefit from our aid. I will address the man who has been injured." Maia was already unhooking in long scarf. "Princess, I want you to say as far away from the battle as possible. Lead the civilians away to safety, and I'll rejoin you with the injured bystander." He knew it was toeing the line, essentially giving his princess orders, but he hoped she would see reason. If someone had to return to the closeness of the fight, it was better to be him at risk than her.

[[ Sailor Mercury --- Not enjoying the logic ]]
For a moment, Mercury found herself ready to berate Maia for having the audacity to issue her with orders. She opened her mouth, then sighed, and shook her head slightly.
"Be careful, Maia," she told him, resting her hand lightly on his shoulder briefly. She could and would not put into words how devastated she would be if he were hurt or - heaven forbid - taken from her again. Mercury lifted her hand from her guardian's shoulder and straightened her own shoulders, heading towards the panicking crowds.
"It is necessary to evacuate the premises," she called over the frantic babble, her tone cool and steely, almost emotionless. It brooked no argument. "The nearest exit it to the left. Follow me to it."

[[ Maia - Let's Move it ]]
Maia briefly let out a sigh of relief that she didn't argue with him. He knew that he'd have to tread carefully in the future. In the meantime, he had a civilian to help. He dashed to the injured man, and was dismayed to see another civilian. He thanked his stars that she was not injured.
"Sir, how severely are you wounded?" Maia asked, kneeling down to the blond-haired man's level. He briefly glanced up to the blue-haired woman, debating on whether he would need her assistance or if he should have her run now. It all depended on the state of the man's injuries, and unfortunately, Maia was no doctor.

[ Sailor Ares / Time to go ]
The shield around Ares faded moments after Mercury's attack ran it's course. But as the rest of the fight came back into view, the pink-haired Shade wished it hadn't. "Oh fuck," was her only reply as she realized what Saturn was doing. 'Where the hell was this one during the battle?' The attack hit, shattering the wall behind where Ouranos had been standing. 'Aw, I was closer to that damned store than I realized.' She banished her weapon and the traces of blood on and around her disappeared as well. With attention on the newest damage, she was hoping that the senshi were no longer paying attention to her.
"I think we've overstayed our welcome."
Ares nodded her agreement as Ouranos got close to her. "SHE isn't going to like this, but given the situation, I whole-heartedly agree." She could hear Mercury yelling for the civilians to leave and ran for the same exit. If they were lucky, they could blend in with the panicked bystanders.
[ Phoenix Nigel-Sebastian / Fan-boy moment ]
"That was so cool! Painful as hell, but cool!" Phoenix turned his attention to Celeste and pointed at the rubble left by Saturn's attack. "Did you see that?! That was the-" He noticed other bystanders giving him strange looks and glanced down to see blood covering his arm. 'New idea for Spring, tactical body armour for everyday wear.'
"Sir, how severely are you wounded?"
Phoenix looked at the man that had spoken and jumped, bumping into the woman that had come to help him. "Not severely enough to stick around and see what happens next." He pulled off his outer shirt and wrapped it around his left arm, where more than a few cuts were still bleeding. He reached for Celeste's wrist and started toward the exit. "I think we can find the exit on our own, thanks."
He tried not to let the knight see that he was limping as he made his way toward the exit as quickly as possible. Still unsure of which side the man was on, he felt it would be safest to get as far away from him as possible.

(Celeste- run away!)
Celeste' was about to ask something of the man, but the he had her wrist. He pulled her of toward the exit that most of the scared patrons were using. "Yes, we need to leave" she barely could get out. She didn't understand anything, but she was done watching and done being in the mall. She was never going back!
(Shan Nagori- report time) Nagori quickly detransformed as she noticed the fighting coming to an end. She was going to approach Ares and Ouranus, but quickly lost them in the crowd. Besides, what would she say. Those two really are scary! Nagori made it outside the mall and knew what had to happen next. She had to make her way to her Mistress and report all she had seen the past few days.

Ouranos - Let's Go
Not wasting any time, Ouranos transformed back into her civilian form and proceeded to make her way through the crowd. All she wanted was a quick exit and then some time to think about the battle and plan some new strategies the next time she faced Saturn. One strategy she wouldn't employ so readily: injuring the boyfriend. He'd be better as hostage material. After ensuring that Ares was clear from the battle scene, Valencia disappeared into the city, her mind already whirling with plans.
((Poor Charon's still buried under rubble, so good luck finding him XD))

[ Sailor Saturn ~ Picking up the pieces ]
Saturn had half a mind to finish the job, to kill both of those Shades right here, right now. But the sane part of her mind told her otherwise. Quell your anger, Saturn... Her internal voice told her, The death of innocents will not help you, nor your case to prove you are better then that. She struggled with her rage and the Song in her head, but knew that she couldn't continue fighting them. Quietly, she watched them slink away, still gripping the Kurogami firmly in her hands.
Once they were gone, Saturn exhaled and told herself to let it go. She turned around to where Charon fell, hurrying over to the rubble he was buried under. With the pommel of the blade, she begun to shift rocks around and tear them away from his form. Once enough was cleared, she replaced the blade upon her back and began to drag him out.
There were still a few civilians and a Guardian of some sort - Saturn wasn't sure whose he was - so she figured un-transforming now would be unwise. She slung Sen's arm over her shoulder and began to drag his unconscious form out of public eye before losing her transformation. She hurried towards another exit, for once thankful for her towering height.
Shen had to get him to a hospital, and fast.
Thankfully, she didn't need to go far, as some panicked men in suits approached her. She had noticed them lurking about when she spoke to Sen earlier, wondering if they were servants of some kind.
"Young master!" One of them raved, swiftly approaching Shen. "We were worried about him...what happened?"
Shen almost forgot that she had appearances to keep up and was about to speak fluent Japanese to them, but quickly thought otherwise. She shook her head rapidly. "Uh...hu-urt. H-e-l-p." She muttered awkwardly, making sure she had her Chinese accent.
Thankfully, the gaki picked up on this fact. "Come, let us take him from you, miss!" He and the others hoisted Sen up. "Please, come with us, our superiors will want to know what happened."
Shen shook her head. She really didn't--
"We insist!" Another gaki urged, gesturing for her to come along. "You made our young master smile, and that will help him later. Come!" He gestured again. Shen bit down on her lower lip and gave a small nod of her head, following after them as the group exited the mall and headed towards the hospital.

[[ Maia ]]
Maia watched the two civilians exit before he moved toward Mercury's exit. He couldn't see her beyond the crow do people and was forced to bring up the rear, making sure no one remained behind. He hesitated at the exit and looked back. The mall was a mess, and there are no doubt in his mind that more civilians were hurt than just the one. There were some stray civilians analyzing the rubble, looking for survivors.
"We must return and attend to the civilians caught."
Maia hesitated before leaving the exit and returning to the rubble. The enemies had retreated and he knew his princess was safe for now. He had found her once, he'd find her again. After all, he had her number, so at the moment the civilians had priority. When he arrived, some seemed focused upon a certain area; Someone was trapped beneath, and Maia organized the others to help rescue them and the other victims.
((I have a feeling that this and the festival chapter are finished, lol))
