Monster Smash

The girl who woke up in The Bay was not the same girl who dashed into the hordes of monsters. She was confused, and very disoriented, but all of that could be dealt with later. If innocent people were in danger, then there was no time for Minako Aino to pick through her box and learn the necessities of being a newly minted citizen of Genessia City.

Sailor Venus was needed.

She wasted no time ducking behind one of the pods and completing her transformation, hidden safely from sight. She left the box near one of the many entrances, since she couldn't exactly carry that thing around and fight effectively. Later, Venus would return to claim her belongings.

Flashes of warm, bright light lanced from her fingertip as she unleashed the power of her Crescent Beam on a misshapen snarling mass of fur and slime. She was nimble in her orange high heels, ducking and dodging shards of bone from another creature that had the misfortune to shamble after the young warrior. Her leg swung up in a vicious kick to the monster's jaw before she pressed her fingertip directly between its eyes, and destroyed it with a cry of defiance.

Crescent Beam pwnd.

Spotting her on the streets likely wasn't hard, even for someone in doors. Her attacks thrived on light and energy, and her uniform could hardly be called subtle. She swung about on her heel, gold hair sailing over her shoulders, as she unwound a chain from her trim waist. The length snapped out and around a fanged woman with a lashing serpentine body in place of her legs. Sailor Venus seized hold of the chain with gold hands, imbuing it with her energy. Gold light coursed through the heart-shaped links of her chain, and the naga shrieked before disintegrating like the other denizens of the night.

She stopped to wipe her brow and catch her breath. There were so many! No time for a break, then. She refused to stop fighting until every last one of these villains were eradicated.

[OOC: Want to get rescued by a fifteen-year-old girl? Fight side by side? You know what to do.]

[Video - 10/18, Morning]

[That sure is one very tired blonde teenager flopped out on the bed in a Commons apartment, facedown in her pillow, holding the communicator out in front of her. She tries to lift her head, decides it's not worth the effort, and the half an inch she gained is eradicated as her face meets the pillow once more. All that can be seen is her head of long blonde hair, tied back with a rumpled red bow that she should probably adjust, but hasn't.]

HeeEeeEEy... I'm supposed to introduce myself, so...

[Yawwwwwwwwwn.]

Here you go. I'm exhausted. Those monsters don't show up every night, do they?

...oh well...

[She'd be more weirded out if she weren't so completely exhausted. Her other hand flips up to flash a half-hearted "v" with her fingers.]

Minako Aino's the name I'll meet you all...later...zzzzzzzzzzz...

[Her uplifted hand drops, and the communicator falls from her limp fingers to clatter noisily on the floor. At least it ended on the 'stop recording' button.]

[Needless to say, she'll have actual replies later that afternoon. For now, she sleep.]

Fortunately, Venus wouldn't be fighting alone. A jagged lance of red energy would sizzle out of nowhere, Venus feeling the edge. Nightmares. Despair. Every negative feeling and thought concentrated into an attack.

Well, at least the unnamed beast it had been aimed at crumpled and did not get up.

"Hey! Miss!" And there was a tiny green-haired girl in a magical girl outfit and very stylish hat hovering a bit above the soldier. Her left eye was closed and her face looked almost cracked around it and she had a strange sphere hovering in front of her chest connected to her ankles by two looping cords. "Are you okay? The monsters are really dangerous!"

She shook a plastic wand at Venus, absolutely covering the area in glitter... Really, there were all sorts of strange contrasts going on right now.

Venus wasn't entirely sure what to make of that dark energy. It definitely felt wrong, and that was usually Sailor Mars's territory. If she could feel it, then it was intense beyond belief.

But it wasn't a power itself that declared whether or not the user was evil; it was how that power was used, and clearly this girl-like being wasn't about to let monsters run rampant through the streets. And that was good enough for Sailor Venus.

"I'm okay!" she smiled, holding a finger-V in front of a blue eye as she winked as though to show just how very totally okay she was. "Any idea what's going on? Where did these things all come from?" She was already turning away, keeping a sharp lookout for any signs of incoming trouble.

"I'm glad." She drifted down further. Her eyes were literally glowing, actually casting light on her cheeks. She was also tiny. She couldn't be much more than four feet tall.

"Things like this happen sometimes here. It's really strange and no one really knows why but it's always around and through and spins. It's really aggravating miss!" Apparently she liked to speak in riddles.

"Are you new? I've never felt anyone like you before here."

"Spins?" she blinked, baffled. Strange was right, though, if people waved this off as a common occurrence.

Then again, was Tokyo really any better with all of its alien invaders seeking to drain human energy on a near-weekly basis?

Sailor Venus turned in the street, making sure nothing was preparing to spring out at them before answering the question. "I just got here. I'm Sailor Venus."

A beastly silhouette gathered itself high on top one of the buildings, catching the young warrior's eye. She thrust her palm skyward, gathering gold light into her fingers before pointing at the creature. "And in the name of love and beauty, I'll punish these monsters!"

This was most certainly something interesting to wake up to. Waking up in a pod when you really didn't want to considering what was going on back home. But once he got his bearings and gathered the stuff that he had on him as well as the device and necklace he started to make his way out. Which he soon realized probably was not the best idea.

The moment he stepped out, he really, really wished he had Patamon with him. Monsters, monsters everywhere and they looked like they wanted him for lunch, so without thinking he was already running and soon behind him were a trail as he kept his eye out for anyone who might be able to help or... do something more than running.

This was a really, really sucky first day.

No one.

But no one.

Was allowed to attack little kids in this town, not if Sailor Venus had anything to say about it! How he managed to attract so many, she didn't know. It would be a tough fight, that was for sure.

Gathering her energy and concentrating, she thrust her arm to the sky and extended her finger.

"VENUS! METEOR SHOWER!" Bright pulses of light lanced through the air, punching into the monster train to derail them from their current pursuit. The weaker monsters stumbled and snarled before vanishing. Others, with thicker hides and far more mass, were only briefly staggered and turned to bare teeth at this interloper.

She leaped off of the rooftop to land in the street, placing herself firmly between the monsters and the boy. "Get indoors!" she shouted over her shoulder. "They'll climb all over the buildings but they can't get in. You'll be safe!"

Takeru had started to wonder a few things as he soon found himself turning the corner and jumping into the side of a building trying to check if the door was open. Just as he was about to check he turned his head to take a quickly notice the other.

It was enough to at least cause a sigh of relief. At least, for now, he didn't have to keep running. Though it did make him curious as to who they were at least and how they managed to do something like one would normally see on television.

"Ah, thank you." He said with a soft smile on his face as he checks the door for a moment only to find it was locked. He moved to knock on the door just to make sure. If no one was home then there was not a lot he could do in that situation.

After a couple of moments, he turned his head. "Sorry to ask, but I need to find a building I can actually get to and... I don't have my partner with me to help. Can you please help me? I can owe you afterward." He didn't know how he would owe her exactly as he arrived here with very little, but he figured there was probably something. Once this was all over.

Of course it was locked. There were monsters crawling over everything, who would leave their door unlocked in a time like this? They had to find a more public building. Maybe if they were back home this wouldn't be a problem, but she had no idea how this city was laid out, and it was too dangerous to take their time searching.

She blasted another monster in the face, slowing it down as it clawed at its sizzled snout and snorted in angry pain.

"We'll just have to run for it and hope we find something," she said, backing up a few steps, then turning to face the boy. "Come on! The bigger the building, the better our chances it'll be open!" She pointed out a four-story building further down the street. From here, she couldn't tell what it was, but it sure wasn't a house, and there were lights on in the windows.

Takeru watched what was going on, he didn't seem as phased by violence as one should really, but after many years of dealing with Digital Monsters, he had known his fair share of things.

"Running for it is my specialty," he said coming off the doorstep for the time being. he looked at the building she was pointing to and he could tell it would be a small distance and with running might take around five minutes at best. At least he hoped that was the case.

Looking around, he could see a couple monsters before he started his running, in between each breath he was speaking. "You know, the monsters are a lot less scary in the movies."

You're not kidding!

[She runs close beside him, frowning seriously. Even so, there's no trace of fear on her face; just determination. Goofy fun Minako isn't what's needed right now, and she'll bravely face down anything that tries to hurt an innocent person.]

[A lean cat-like humanoid creature lumbers out of a nearby alley, jaw disengaging for a low, drooling hiss.]

[She jump kicks it in its stupid furry face, sending it sprawling.]

Keep going, we're almost there!

[Takeru felt like he could joke if it was nessisarry, but at the moment he knew it really wasn't a good idea. Serious times didn't call for it, so instead of was focused on where they were heading, moving as fast as his legs could.

However, he could tell he was getting a little tired from all the running. Even as a teenager there was a limit to how much he could run, but he could at least tell they were getting closer to the goal at least and with that in mind, he wanted to sigh a bit with relief. When he could finally reach the door he speeds up a little bit, stopping just as he reached the door, turning the handle to open it before glancing back.

He was pretty sure what the answer was going to be, but he figured might as well check while monsters seemed to be coming up slowly from behind.]

Are you coming in, or are you staying out?

[Mercy heard more monsters nearby, she instinctively she was out and about, trying to take care of what she could. She was a medic, but she did have her pistol. If it was to save lives, she was happy to help out however she could, as well as make sure everyone was safe. So dressed in her witch costume -- from when she went to check on Fayren when she was concerned for the other cities -- she tried to find where the commotion was coming from. It looked like someone had it covered, but she was still happy to help.]

Are you okay? [Pistol out and staff in hand -- which happens to look like a broom -- she was ready for anything.]

Edited (Whoops! HTML) 2017-10-20 00:46 (UTC)

[Sailor Venus is a little breathless; she's been at this for a while. But other than a few scratches on her left arm and both her legs, she isn't badly injured. Still, it's good to have some backup, that's for sure.]

[She blows out a breath of relief and straightens.]

I'm all right. You?

[Seriously, she's just glad there are other people around who seem like they're capable of fighting too, there's no way she could fight this many creatures all on her own.]

I'm okay. I'm just glad you're not too injured. [Looking around] As you can see, it's dangerous out right now. I can try to provide any assistance possible.

Thank you.

[Though Sailor Venus isn't letting her guard down, the offer seems to have instilled her with fresh confidence, and she smiles.]

Taking down creeps like this is much easier if we do it as a team. Let's go!

[Unless Angela wants to take the lead, in which case she'll defer to seniority. But she's not certain just how much battle experience the other woman has, or what she's capable of doing, so Protector is her default mode.]

[Angela is okay with her taking the lead. She's more of support than anything else, although she'll be quick to stop her if she feels like the girl is in trouble in any way. Besides her doctor instincts kicking in, her motherly instincts are very well present.]

I'm Angela Ziegler, by the way.

[ Frowns ]

Were you stuck outside last night?

[Minako holds a hand over her mouth to hide her yawn. At least when she responds, her hair is neatly combed and the bow is fixed in place on her head. She's still wearing the same rumpled clothes, though, since she really hasn't had a chance to go shopping.]

Yeah, but I'm fine. I just hid in a narrow alley where they couldn't get to me until I had a chance to run indoors, no big deal.

[Minako begins each day with a hearty helping of LIES. Gotta protect her secret identity.]

Do you live here?

[ Shinjiro is good at sniffing out some kinds of lies.

A lot of them, though, were really easy to sell to him. Cute 15-year-old-girl says she hid in an alley all night, when it was filled with monsters? Completely believable. Frown grows deeper. ]

You could've been real hurt, and. Shi- ... Crap.

You've just got here, ain't ya?

[ Sighs. ]

... Yeah. I live in Genessia City.

These monsters are kinda a recent thing.

Don't say it like that, what else was I supposed to do?

[If she were a normal human teenage girl, that is, and not a warrior for love, beauty, and justice. Because she's super not that.]

Yeah, just last night. When do they stop being a recent thing?

And what's your name?

I dunno, maybe call for help?

A lotta us were out there, tryin to round up anybody who needed t'stay inside, or the natives of this place, keep 'em safe.

[ He's not going to say he would have heard her - the city is a really big place, he probably wouldn't run into her. But, the point was - there were a lot of people out there, helping protect others.

Of course, Shinjiro had no clue, did he?

Another sigh. ]

No clue. Hope it's not long. I'm kinda used to these late-nighters, but. Lotsa people are startin to run short on sleep.

... Shinjiro Aragaki.

Yours?

Like I know anybody in this city to call in the first place! And yelling 'save me!' was just going to bring more monsters.

[No way is she calling 'save me' unless there was someone super cute who she knew could fight a monster on her behalf. There weren't any such guys around to fulfill the role.]

But hey, if you know someone, introduce me next time. Minako Aino, nice to meet you.

[ Sighs. She has a good point, but. ]

Y'can call me.

Name's Shinjiro Aragaki.

I'd get you outta there fast, if you need it.

Or, once these things are gone, if this city throws somethin else at us? Who even knows what might happen.

But. Now you know sombody.

...You'd seriously do that for me?

[Oh no. This can only end in heartbreak ~~for her, but what else is new~~. Her cheeks are slightly flushed, her blue eyes all a-sparkle.]

... I offered, didn't I?

[ Raises an eyebrow at her. He has absolutely no idea. Of course, he's still rather scruffy-looking, so it's partly because he doesn't think he'd catch anybody's eye.

Shinjiro doesn't know what to make of her expression, and shrugs. ]

Dependin on where you're from, it may seem safer here than usual, or maybe more dangerous than usual.

You get in over your head, if it's not me, you let somebody know, right?

[She'd say he's not her type, but let's be real: guys in general are Minako's type, especially since he seems tough with a heart of gold. And she likes that! Plus he just offered to protect her, and that's never happened before. Ah, her first crush! Surely this time it'll go well for her! ~~No it won't.~~]

Ahahahahahahaha! Of course, of course!

[She flaps her hand at him. Oh stop it, you.]

It's good to know I have my very own hero on standby. Thank you for being so brave!

[ Of course, he doesn't think he's done anything remarkable.

But he is starting to wonder at the giggling, now. ]

Uh. Right.

[ Frowns. "Hero" made him especially uncomfortable. ]

It ain't that. A lotta people here you'll find are kinda used to more dangerous stuff.

I won't be the last person to offer a hand, knowin the folks 'round here.

Yeah, but you're the first! So that makes you special.

[She starts to lean into her hands, but when she does, she catches sight of herself in the mirror. Ack! She's all frumpy still from sleeping in her clothes! She spazzes. She hits her head on the desk that the communicator was sitting on and comes up clutching her forehead.]

Uhhhh, but first I should probably do something about my wardrobe...in that I don't have one. Catch you later!

[She flashes him a 'v' and quickly signs off. If she's going to talk to cute guys, she needs to do it when she's looking her best.]

[ .... He has no idea what just happened.

Special?

Yeah, right.

Shinjiro shrugs, and turns off his communicator. ]
