"We have a new knight?" Amarissa asks as she listens in on Sophia's phone call while thinking about battle plans. Apparently, Valdis was already in the middle which was a problem since now they would have to try and protect her too. "I really wish Valdis would think before she jumps in the middle of the fights," she sighed, shaking her head. "Anyway, I'll be in the middle of the fight myself. I can move around pretty quick and get to people if they get poisoned, just give a shout or something," she says.

A look between nausea and anger crossed her face as Scorpio's aura continued to beat on them and she nodded at Sophia. "I can't take much more of this either. It's disgusting," she murmured. Shortly after her complaint, the moon senshi found herself suddenly filled with hope as a bright light faded from the field that only just caught her eye. Eyes wide with wonder and the memory of a similar feeling, Amarissa pushed past the other senshi to scan the battle field. She quickly spotted a familiar form, though somewhat far away. "It can't be..." she whispered, tears filling her eyes. Quickly and quietly, the moon senshi begins to make her way towards the figure being careful not to attract attention. Amarissa comes to a stop some few feet behind the earth knight, still crying softly but with a small smile.

Sophia is still holding on to the phone when she feels the aura of hope. “Kishin?” She heard that he would return, but that was incredible timing. Unfortunately for the team, Kishin probably was already engaging Scorpio. Then Ama runs off. “CRAP! AMA WAIT!” But the girl is gone.

Alright, she’ll roll with this change. “David, are you still on? If there is a guy with a mask over there, that’s one of our guys returned from the dead. Please, make sure him and the girl running toward him don’t die. Scorpio’s heavily armored, so not much will break through. He’s got a pretty nasty poison that’ll kill pretty much any one of us, so careful about getting close. Also, his pincers fire off energy, so keep moving. We’ll be coming in from the other side.”

She clicks off the phone. She takes out her henshin item, and says, “Venus Power, Make Up.” For the most part, nothing has changed except for a gold pendant with the symbol of Venus on her choker. “Looks like we gotta go in now. Ready to go, Exia?”

The wind blows dramatically at the top of the building Kishin stood on as he looked over his shoulder to see Amarissa standing there. It was not natural to be able to see him, but he supposed that perhaps she had followed his Emotional Control somehow, or maybe the archer just had truly transcendent vision. Flashing her a roguish grin Kishin jumped off the lip he was standing on and walks over to Ama, reaching out a hand and then poking her in the forehead.

"Hey now, what's with that expression?" He asks in an insulted tone that was betrayed by the grin on his face. "Didn't I tell you I was invincible? I was just taking a bit of a nap and having a heart to heart with a dead king."

Though even as he says this his expression turns serene and gentle as he reaches out and tenderly leans Ama's head against his chest. "It must have been tough...sorry, I'm back." He tells her in a very reassuring tone.

Amarissa frowned lightly as Kishin poked her in the head, reaching up to rub the spot as he explains what he was doing. She sighed though as he leaned her head against his chest and she moved to give him a hug in earnest. "It was and I'm very glad you're back. I'm sorry though. I should protected you better, helped more," she replies softly, regret heavy in her tone. It was obvious she blamed herself. "I missed you, Kishin," Amarissa admitted.

Standing straight, she looked at him for moment. Then, without much warning other than a brief grin, she reached up and kissed him, her lips softly hesitant against his where she herself never seemed to be. She didn't give him time to try and kiss her back. Amarissa instead leaned back, looking at him with a shy smile and waiting for his reaction. Hope and fear warred in her eyes.

As Amarissa kisses him the Hope Emotional Control suddenly disappears. As she separates herself from him Kishin stares at Amarissa in confusion. What the...WHAT THE HELL!!!! He shouts inside of his mind. He didn't understand, or at least he couldn't process this so soon after emerging from the tree. If Ama had been hoping for him to sweep her off her feet she would sadly be disappointed as more than anything else Kishin had no idea what to do.

"..." As the stunned silence draws on Kishin begins to regain his wits. Though as he looks at Ama who seemed to have built up a lot of courage for that Kishin is unsure what to say...it probably wouldn't be appropriate to make a joke...would it?

"Thank you." He says and then turns towards the lip of the building. "W-we've got to deal with Scorpio now!" He says a bit too enthusiastically. Then he lets out a sigh and pats her on the head. "We can talk later, for now we've gotta go be heroes." He says as be begins to draw in the Earths power through the gauntlets and he starts to gain a slightly golden tint then runs over to the side of the building and leaps off towards Scorpio.

"Here I come you asshole! You're gonna pay for turning me into a tree!" He shouts as he charges towards Scorpio.

Kishin's reaction didn't exactly surprise her, as she had a feeling that he was clueless sometimes. Still, as his hope aura stopped the anger and fear that Scorpio was putting out mixed with her lighter versions of the emotions and sparked. She was good at controlling herself though and only a slight hardening in her eyes gave her away. "Your welcome," Amarissa replied, though she sounded overly polite now. She grimaced as he patted her head then nodded at his suggestion of talking later. Yes, that would very much be necessary.

Watching as leaps of the building after Scorpio, she supposes that made the start for the official battle. Sighing, the moon senshi decided to stay up here for now. Taking aim at the hole Kishin had left in the armor, she shouts "Moonlight Silver Arrow!" and lets loose with two arrows.

Keitha woke up with a start and ripped her ear buds out of her ears the music blaring. She rubbed her eyes not remembering falling asleep and felt a weird feeling in her stomach as she got up and looked out the window of her bedroom. Her heart stopped as she saw the clouds rolling overhead, they weren't the normal storm clouds she was accustomed to, these were dark and sinister looking. Keitha was startled by her old Nokia going off, she looked down reading the message from Sophia, "Ah bloody hell," Not wasting anytime she grabbed the translator earrings and her Jupiter Pen from her desk and ran out the door barefoot in only her pajama bottoms and a tank top. Her dad was at work so she didn't have to worry about being delayed by his questions.

She walked down the street putting the earrings on and went into an alley way deciding now would be the best time to transform. "Jupiter Power Makeup" She said, and as soon as she was transformed she hastily got on her bike made her way to Shibuya District. When she arrived she was slightly winded, discarding her bike in a place she could remember to pick it up later she went to find Sophia. When she found her she had transformed as well. Puffing she asked, "Sorry I'm late, what seems ta be the problem again lass?"

Kail was not too happy when the military showed up since that caused a slight problem. But as he looked into the other buildings he realized that there were still people around. But with the military in the area though, they could evacuate the people in the area. He sees a new knight show up "Eh a new guy, We need all the help we can get" said Kail and then he sees the texts from Valdis which made him frown. Then a few seconds later Kail's face paled as he did not expect this happening. He cursed loudly when Ama ran in and was just utterly pissed since they did not have a plan. Or the one he had needed a group vote on it

"DAMN IT ALL TO HELL,MARS POWER UP"he yelled and at this point he was just pissed off to the ninth degree. He transformed into his knight form and he was a bit angry "Half the time I wish that we could work as a group then this. I had a plan but I needed the group's ok on this. I'll think of something else in battle" said Kail as he looked at Sophia as he sounded a bit down. But none the less he was going to have to roll with the punches. He unsheath's his sword. Kail sees Keitha show up "Big bug freak has shown up and we need to take him down" he said.

Kail then dashes off forward into battle and as he got in to battle area "Fury Armor" he called out and transformed into his armored form. As soon as he could get into striking distance with Scorpio. As he got closer, Kail saw the massive tail on Scorpio, and knew if that tail could be taken out. His arsenal of attacks would be limited, With that in mind, Kail used a double handed grip with his katana. And put everything he had and swung down on Scorpio's tail at the base of his back. Knowing that his opponent was not treating anyone seriously. So his defenses would be down for someone like him

Sophia looks at Kail, “Weren’t you the one telling me to buck up? It’s up to use to make sure everyone doesn’t get hurt. And well, eventually get this teamwork thing down.”

Sophia looks relived as Keitha joins them. “Glad you’re down here. We are all going in to flank the others as they go after Scorpio. Ok. I know I’m repeating myself but a few things. Scorpio’s heavily armored, so not much will break through. He’s got a pretty nasty poison that’ll kill pretty much any one of us, so careful about getting close. Also, his pincers fire off energy, so keep moving. I’ll stick behind you two and provide covering fire and healing when I’m needed. Kail is gonna try to sunder his armor.”

“Alright team. It’s our first real battle together. And the others are counting on us. Let’s put our hearts into this! Let’s move!” she says before moving out.

She follows the other two from a distance. She calls her bow ahead of time, but doesn’t shoot. She doesn’t want to ruin Kail’s shot. She watches as he leaves himself vulnerable. She also notices the golden spear. She could expect Scorpio to retaliate against Kail and Kousuke immediately. Takeing a deep breath, she prepares to say the words “Shield of Radiance” to summon a bubble to protect them if needed.

Well seeing how the battle started she might as well do her part, she leaned on the branch resting her elbows on the branch and let out a small whistle.

"Ooo that looks painful"

Her voice had a sympathetic tone to it as she swung a leg back and forth off the branch while fluttering her eyelashes at the large beast.

"Your certainly less...fleshy then the last time we encountered each other. Out of curiosity why this area to attack? I would have figured the school would be better, children always have the large hopes and dreams since the world has yet to take there toll on them. Or is that someone else's harvesting ground?"

While Scorpio had been amusing himself with the soldiers, he was too surrounded by his own dark energy to sense the power from Kishin's first strike approaching him until it was too late. He spun to dodge the blow, but this time the golden spear entered deep into the side of his back, cracking and splintering the armored exoskeleton beneath. The spear got an inch deep, and a trickle of blood can be seen coming out of the cracks of the wound. Irritated, he prepared to leap up when Valdis began to speak. He had remembered her, why was she alive...she should be a corpse in the bottom of a river somewhere now...

"..Persistent. I must have done something wrong..." he growls as he began to approach Valdis, but the shooting from the JSDF officers irritated him to the point that he extended his pincers in their direction and let loose a wide spray of energy which would devastate the area around them, forcing them to retreat from the exploding rubble or suffer grievous injury.

When Kousuke leapt to make his aerial attack, Scorpio, angered by the first strike that landed upon him began to fire Pincer Beams of energy at him, but a shell of yellow light surrounding him absorbed most of it, leaving Kousuke to suffer a mild, searing damage that his natural healing will likely recover quickly. The distraction of handling Kousuke allowed Killian to charge into melee range unimpeded. His two handed sword strike landed and began to cut in, but a second layer of armor barely keeps the blade from severing the tail. Scorpio spins and thrashes Killian away with enough force to fling him several feet above the ground and twenty feet away into a tree.

The long range attacks that Ama released erred from wind: the first landed harmlessly on the ground five feet off, while the second landed in Scorpio's lower back, sticking out of his carapace armor. He irritatedly reaches behind and pulls the projectile out, shattering the energy in his hands as he assesses the situation around him.

"...So the 'heroes of justice' come. Good. I can kill you all at once." he shouts as he glares at the building Amarissa was on and then leaps in the air off the ground as he holds his hand in the direction of the base of the building.

"You fail to remember that this entire area is populated! Their lives are forefit. Blame yourselves." he shouts, as a purple and dark green sphere of chaos energy amasses quickly, becoming the shape of a ten foot radius globe.

"Plaguebearer's Wrath." he says with a distinct coldness, releasing the violent mass of energy at the direction of the building, the effects potentially catastrophic.

Sophia smiles as she’s able to protect Kousuke. The boy got in way too much danger, and she didn’t want to see him turn into a tree again. However, she feels bad as Kail gets knocked back. She should have prepared for that better…

Sophia’s eyes grow wide as Scorpio gathers energy for his attack against the building. She darts backwards a few paces toward Kail’s tree. “You’re gonna lend me all your resilience, and I’ll form a shield to protect the building.”
It’s an odd tone for her, much more commanding. However, urgency strips away the desire to act pleasant. She reaches for Kail’s hand, while taking a deep breath. Light seems to gather around as she accrues some amount of strength for the attack.

“Together we won’t fail.” It’s an assurance and a promise. “On the count of 3,” she looks to him. “1, 2, 3, FURIOUS RADIANCE!”

Kail was surprised at the fact that Scorpio's armor was dual layered and was not expecting to have his blade be dug in like that. He was going to go for a second strike, until the bug like man did take a notice to him. Before he could react though he took a swing at him and sent him flying into a tree knocking the wind out of Kail. The armored knight slowly slides down the tree to get the air back into his lungs. He looks at the battle now and saw a slight error in his orginal plan. This man was a bit too strong for a plan like that. Then to his horror though Scorpio charged up an attack and was not only going to kill Ama but several civilians.

It was at this time Sophia walks up to him and starts talking. "I lament....that this armor does not last that long. But I can not let the innocents and Amarissa get killed here....take it" he said and transferred his power to Sophia's new skill. The armor drains off and it makes Kail into his normal knight appearance. His body let off a red flame like aura as it helped with the skill.

The attack against Kousuke didn't bother him in the least. Compared to the Earth King this oversized bug was nothing. During the battle in the golden kingdom Kousuke had seen a truly unbeatable foe and this wasn't it. However as he does he is surprised to see the others suddenly join the fray. As he reaches the battle Scorpio was already leaping into the air and making his evil speech. However instead of worrying about what the insect says he reaches up and grabs the spear that had stuck in the monster.

"Those people are not my responsiblity." He says quietly so that only Scorpio could hear it. However as he looks in the direction that Scorpio was looking he noticed that the attack was also aimed at Amarissa and his eyes narrow. For a brief moment the image of her standing nervously on building waiting for him to say something passes through his mind and an anger starts building in his, flooding him with adrenaline and strength.

"Why do you insist on attacking her when I'm already here to fight!?" he asks and heaving with all of his golden shard enhanced strength he uses the spear as a fulcrum to redirect Scorpio's force in the air and turn him back towards the ground. "FIGHT ME COWARD!"

Amarissa cursed under her breath as her attacks missed. Kishin was doing a great job though and the other senshi had finally jumped in. Unfortunately, Scorpio was now once again targeting her. A moment of panic showed on her face before reason reasserted itself. She needed to get off the building while still keeping his attention.

The Moon Senshi fired two more arrow in his general direction. "Hey over here!" she yelled as she ran and jumped across to the roof of the next building. This one had decorative window edges and she scrambled down the front of it with a lithe grace. Hitting the ground, she ran back to the clearing and turned so that she could see him. She didn't see or hear what Sophia was doing and couldn't really attack from here. Amarissa would have to wait until their enemy was back on the ground. "Looking for someone, little bug?" she shouted up at Scorpio, hoping to draw his attention.
