Amarissa grimaced as panic ensued. That was so not what she wanted. Yes, everyone was now off the ice and out of the rink, effectively taking civilian injuries out of the equation, but now someone would call the military. The senshi was watching the door and saw Kietha come in. She waved to the other senshi, encouraging her to come over and help.

Then things went from bad to worse as the man summoned some kind of giant ice snake in the middle of the rink. She noticed that Cory and Setsumi were still around but for the time being it was focused on her. She saw it dive forward, idly wondered where Kishin was, quickly shot a beam of Pure Soul at its open mouth, and managed to dive out of the way before it swallowed her. That thing was really fast and she decided this might be tricky without more help. Quickly though, she stood, aimed for its face, and fired off another two arrows at the snake.

Cory gets bounced around as people hurry past him. He’s a little upset that people are only starting run now. Things were obviously wrong earlier, but nothing gets people to run faster than someone launching arrows in the ice rink. He sees the person hit their head on the bleachers. Concussions could be deadly, and it didn’t look like any other soul was going to help them.

He runs over to pick the person up, but sees Setsumi lying on the ice again. Stopping beside her, he picks her up and carries her out of the rink. Once outside, he sets her down. “Get out of here and call an ambulance.”

He then darts up to the bleachers to get the unconscious person, careful not to injure them anymore. On the way down, he sees the large serpent of ice. Hopefully, the military would be here soon to handle this. Right now, he just needed to focus on everyone getting out safely.

As the snake dives for Amarissa, and she shoots a beam of Pure Soul a cloud of dust is suddenly kicked up in front of the snake and it comes to a sudden halt. As the dust settles on lookers are bathed in a golden light as a man in a golden mask and armor over a hoody stands holding the snake by it's open mouth. Golden light streams from his skin and from a crystal swords that hangs around his waist, and the ice beneath his feet is cracked due to a set of stone boots with large spikes on them dig into the rink.

"Hey Rie, did you call?" he asks turning his head towards Amarissa and giving her a boyish grin. To be honest he had no idea what was going on here, but he'd suddenly gotten a strong urge to show up a few minutes ago and had transformed and come as quickly as it could. "I'm not late am I?" he asks her as his attention returns to the monster in front of him.

"Well then, I think...this belong to you!" He shouts as veins begin to show on Kishin's tightened muscles as he lifts the snake into the air and throws it back at its creator.

Peeking around and through the walkways, the black mau cat arrived. Whether she had followed Kousuke or Amarissa or arrived on her own coincidence and volition remained to be seen, but the black cat felt her heart sink at the sight of a tremendous, dark powered, ice serpent lashing out at Sailor Moon. The lunge attack made her wince a little but due to fortune and Amarissa's agility she escaped harm that time.

After the initial panic of the attack wears off, Luna's keen sixth sense picks up on Setsumi and Cory. Not one, but TWO guardians were here! They must have been what drew this particular agent out of hiding to attack so brazenly.

There was no time to waste...the agent could redirect his attacks on them and they were defenseless in their present state.

By the time she arrived where Cory dropped off Setsumi and ran off to help someone else, Luna decided to at least get the female awakened. While Cory may be in earshot of the initial mumblings of the cat, what he did was up to him whether to interrupt his noble task or not.

"Young lady!" Luna would shout behind Setsumi. When Setsumi turned around, she would see a black cat with a glowing crescent on her feline forehead.

"I know that this is not the ideal time for this sort of thing, but you are one of the rare few who can help bring an end to the reign of what you call the Covenant. You have the same potential as the girl down below shooting arrows of light at that agent of evil, and she will need your help if everyone is to survive..." the black mau says, as a bubble of blue energy appears in the air between Setsumi and Luna. Contained within was a blue and white pen-like object with a symbol of Mercury on it.

"Take hold of this 'henshin item' and say Mercury Power Make Up..." Luna says, quickly realizing what planetary alignment the young woman had. "And when you do, you will turn into a magical warrior who can vanquish evil!"

As Kousuke shows up and hurls the snake at the man, Keitha takes advantage of the moment to advance at him from behind in hopes that he would be distracted enough not to notice her. She unsheathes the blade from her side thinking twice this time about unleashing lightnings blade. She recalled her duel with Jun remembering how she had sent a small eclectic current through her bare hands and wondered if she could do it again and maybe even stun her opponent. As she crept forward she concentrated on her Jupiter Energy to travel through her enough to accomplish what she wished, to her surprise it worked and she felt her skin tingle with static electricity. Keitha smiled and ran to close the distance between her and the snake conjurer, she raised her weapon and swung it down diagonally, silently praying that he would not turn around or dodge.

The arrows would stick into the serpent, but cause no noticeable damage other than small cracks around where they were sticking out. The snake that Kousuke was so eager to throw wasn't as easily moved as he might have hoped. Contact with the construct would begin to drain at Kousuke's energy, as black sparks manifest where his hands were contacting the magical serpent. After a breaking point, the upper half of the serpent would snap off, but the Earth Knight would suffer a loss of about fifteen percent of his energy reserves.

The serpent's top, once thrown forces the man in black to fall to the ground to avoid being struck, leaving him prone to the attack that Keitha launched, resulting in a long slash down the center of his back, sparks of electricity bounding around the strike and leaving the man stunned.

The serpent reforms, as water is drawn from the ice rink and the maw of the beast manifests once more. It lunges for Keitha this time, attempting to swallow the Jupiter senshi whole shortly after she had struck the conjurer.

The thrown serpent head, while inanimate, crashes near where Cory was. While it didn't directly hit him, it would cause the area around him to shake and the structure nearby to be destroyed as shattered benches and walls would make navigating out with the unconscious person more difficult.

The conjurer, now wounded, staggers to get to his feet, holding his hand out as his eyes turn a deep purple. Crackling power manifests around his fingertips as he fires three pulses of raw chaos energy at Kishin and Rie. Contact with them would cause a corrosive burst of entropy energy that would burn and sear flesh, while causing damage to any armor, weapons, or other objects they create.

Once again Setsumi felt useless, terrified and down right confused. Cory had came to her rescue once again, cradling her out the door and away from the ice snake of doom. Her knees knocking as her rattled body was set down out of harms way. "Thank you.." Setsumi managed to whimper out, however her words would go in noticed, her lips pouting by the time she would realize Cory was already gone. Now faced with two options, to run and be safe or be stupid and rush back in there to help. "They are absolutely bonkers." Setsumi sighed, tripping over her own two feet when she realized SHE STILL HAD SKATES ON! Her shoes, book bag, and books were still in the ice rink...

" THIS IS COMPLETE BULL-SH~!!" Setsumi paused in mid yell, her train of though broken by the sudden appearance of a black cat.

Who could talk..Setsumi stared blankly at the cat as it spoke her right eye twitching as a pen manifest before her.

"I don't remember taking acid before coming here." Setsumi said giving a nervous chuckle. This had to be a messed up dream. One where there were magical girls and talking cats, oh and don't forget killer ice snakes!

Stupid hand not listening to the brain. With out even a moment of thought her hand reached out to grab the pen out of curiosity. Her blue teal eyes examining the pen before looking back down at the cat. " Mercury power make-up?" Setsumi questioned, picking herself up off the ground.

Suddenly, everything got colder and a bright light blinded her as she felt something strange come over her. It was a quick transformation. Frost forming around her finger tips as the skates disappeared. Blue teal eyes widening at this new feeling, but before she could ask anymore questions she heard the crash.

That's right! Cory and that girl firing arrows were still in there with the killer snake! Setsumi turned on both her heels and took off back towards the rink. Frost gathering where her boots contacted the marble floors. She ran as fast as her scrawny legs could, Eye wide at the sight of the ice serpent and the amount of damage that it had caused. When she entered the room, the first thing she noticed was that there was another man on the rink, besides Cory. Plus now there were two girls fighting instead of one.

Crap! What to do, what to do! She didnt know what she could do. The talking devil possessed cat hadnt given her directions on how to help! Short on time, Setsumi entered the room just in time to see the man had lifted his hands. The sight of his purple eyes giving her the goose bumps as she inhaled and took a few steps foward. Her throat choked as she too brought her hands up. If only she could protect them, but unsure of what to do she simply called out to the two that were about to get hit.

"WATCH OUT!" Setsumi cried, ice leaving her fingertips the moment those words leave her trimbling lips. The ice traveled forming a thick wall of ice from the ground up in front of the strange boy and red headed girl. Her mouth gaped as she looked down at her finger tips. " Oh now that is just nifty." Setsumi commented, realizing that the ice wall was her own doing. 

Amarissa stares as she notices her arrows have no effect. That was not good. She watched as the others attacked the snake. This wasn't really working out very well. It was regenerating from the ice and they certainly couldn't destroy the rink. She smiled as she watched the awkward girl from the rink awaken. Perhaps that is what had drawn them here.

Shaking her head, she decided to focus on the cause of the problem: the mysterious man in black, who after Kietha's attack had staggered but was now standing again and glowing purple. That, to Ama, seemed bad. Silver arrows flew towards him, four in quick succession after careful aim.

With the unconscious man in his arm, Cory mentally chants that he just needs to get to the door. Then, he would be out of this super-powered fight. However, his eyes widen when the serpent’s head gets chucked his way. He ducks, and the head goes over his own. However, the bleachers and wall fall, and it takes a bit to keep upright.

He starts to panic, but keeps telling himself that he will be fine. He just needs to find a way out. Clearing his own mind and breathing slowly, he stands perfectly still and low to the ground for a few moments. Regaining some composure, he straightens up and steps carefully navigates the maze of debris toward the exit. It would be easier if he didn’t have to carry someone, but the hell if he was going to live the poor guy here to die.

“I know you’re not awake, man, but you kind of owe me after this is done,” he says quietly to the unconscious body in French. “At least buy me some food. I at least have earned that.”

[Reminder: Kousuke and Keitha are due for a post this 'round']

As Kousuke feels the energy drain out of him he frowns. "That's just not fair...I have enough problems managing the energy I use on my own without you taking it from me." He grumbles though his mood improves as the conjurer gets injured though when the attack is launched towards him and Ama he prepares to defend but finds a shield created for them. Without worrying about it he hop over the shield and immediately closes the distance between himself and the spell caster.

"Why don't you guys learn?" He shouts as he draws his sword and attacks with an unpracticed but fast and powerful stroke.

The covenant operative whom found himself on the target of the arrows has to duck at the third cast, only able to get two of his projectiles in the air. One of Ama's arrows manages to find it's way to his shoulder, causing him to clench it in annoyance. He smirked however as he saw the bolts of energy fly to the pair in the distance...

...until the ice shield popped up. The bolts of energy would erupt in sparks and ice fragments, but aside from minor damage from chunks of ice hitting someone, neutralizes the energy fairly easily.

The serpent lunged for Keitha but merely smashes it's own face into the ground near her, causing the ground to shake and the Jupiter Senshi to possibly fall down, but it cracks itself in several locations and a few pieces of it fragment off leaving the hydro serpent stunned.

The caster, seeing Kouske approach and realizing there was yet another magic wielding target on the scene suddenly, decides that this was a losing prospect. He turns and begins to run, out ranging the first sword strike but his rate of fleeing was normal for a human.

He knew he was in trouble, this operation failed horribly.

Amarissa nodded appreciatively to the girl when the shield popped up. They had two new members now, though the male was still trying to simply get everyone out of the way. Meanwhile, the serpent was going after Kietha and the man in black was trying to run away. "Kishin, Kietha. Try to hammer on that serpent a bit more," she suggests, making her own way quickly after the trouble maker.

Yes, he was a moving target but not a very fast one and Ama herself was a master archer. She took a stance on the bleachers and quickly fired another volley of arrows at the fleeing man. "Setsumi, can you block him in?" she yelled to the new mercury senshi as she shot the guy with a blast of her pure soul beam.

Cory takes the opportunity to look back as he nears the exit. Things were coming to end, and he wasn’t entirely sure if it was good or bad. He sees the caster running his way, and frowns a little. No, he didn’t want to be in way of that kind of trouble. He raises an eyebrow when the archer says the name Setsumi. What?! The girl who fell down on the ice repeatedly had crazy ice powers. But maybe everyone else besides the crazy caster guy was alright if she was working with them.

Instead of watching the aftermath, he runs the remaining way to the door and outside. He gently lays the man down on the ground before calling on his cellphone for an ambulance and some kind of authority who could better deal with this situation.

As the summoner dodges his first strike Kousuke leaps forwards again to block his path though as Ama tells him to go after the snake Kousuke nods and holds up his hand a stone hammer with a head almost 6 feet in diameter appears in his hand and he leaps towards the snake. "Time to shatter this sculpture." He says as he brings the tremendous bludgeon down towards the snake attempting to shatter it completely and trusting Ama to get the summoner.
