Patrol

The young svelte woman rested in a crouched position on the roof of
the building. Grey eyes look to the huge spike of crystal that was
Tokyo. how disgustingly extravagant. it Made Grey Haze want to puke
sometimes. but that's the way things were.
Therefore, what she was doing was noble. change the way things were.

Haze's soft pink tongue rang over her pearly teeth before she picked at
them with a small arrowheadded blade that tipped a thin cord of wire.
the wire disappeared into her smoke coloured sleeve. with a flick of
Her wrist, the Arrow too retreated into her sleeve.

"C'mon deary....let your little lamb come out for patrol...we're
getting bored." Haze shot a look, then a thin-lipped smirk to her
partner IC Death. "So how many do you think they'll send out this
time? three? four? Fi-..." Haze blinked. "Death, get down." Haze
herself got on her tummy and pulled herself along the roof, till she
got to the edge, which harbored a wall that stood erect about three
feet, enough to hide behind and peek over. there Haze saw her. one of
the Starlights, on patrol. A dark, devious grin spread on Haze's
Scarred face, and she look to her companion. "a Number three. this one
gets a Number three."

Upon the request of her partner, Haze, to get down; Death; IC Death pulled
up her hood of her cloak over her pale features. She watched her slender
nimble partner slink across the roof like a cat- something she admired about
Grey Haze; she was very dexterous. A very large sly smile crept upon her
face before she herself joined Haze in crouch.
From a shadowed hood Death watched the scouting Sailor Star Light look
around the area. The others couldn't be too far away. Her white cloak only
billowed with the very slight wind left from the dying planet. The cloak
pretty much enveloped her figure entirely. To look at her would you would
only see a pale white cloak, strangely unmarred from the continuous new
battles; and perhaps a pair of white sleek combat boots that poked out the
bottom.
Her ears though covered listen carefully for any incoming senshi, or Star Light
that might be near.
"Definatly...a number 3." , IC Death gave a slow pleased dark grin, "For a
Third Light, for a senshi of the "stars" "
Finally! Some ones come out to play with them.

Healer stands outside, looking around...keeping an eye on any intruders that might want to show up.
She looked up and for a moment looked like she was actually staring at Haze and Death, but she didn't see
anything but shadows and darkness. She sighed and thought to herself, 'These enemies....if they're here....they
do a pretty good job at hiding.' She thought she heard a soft noise coming from the direction she stared at
before, like someone or something moving....
She looked sideways in that direction.... "Might be the wind....but I still better be careful...." She turned and
headed the other way, still looking around...

Haze crouched lower as she felt Healers eyes near her. glancing over
the lip off the roof ledge, she waited before Healer looked away to
shoot out her silent arrow headed wire, and let it imbed in a higher
spot, effectively letting her swing to another point. "Fiddle deedee,
number three,number three, let us all see, number three, number
three. educate me, on number three, number three, ..." She hopped up
on the roof ledge and look to IC. "Lets go Deary, number
three, ...number three." And with that, Haze leapt off the roof,
swinging ever closer to Healer

Healer thought she heard some soft, low voice and quickly turned around in the
direction she heard it from. "Who's there?!" She looked around, still seeing nothing.
Everything was too dark and she doesn't have the best night vision. "Gosh, where's
Mercury when you need her....if she was here she could use her goggles..." She
sighed and asked again "Who's there?!! Come out!! ...If you're brave enough..." She
realized what she said wasn't going to make the enemy (if there was one) very happy...
She just shrugged it off and stood in fighting position...

The woman's soft soled boots touched down on a ledge and Haze couched again,
using the shadows to her advatang. SIlently her arrow headded filament zipped
back into her sleeve. The woman surprised a snort at Healer's threat. All
this time, and they still talk big. you'd think The neoSailorMoon would have
taught them better. if not NeoSailorMoon or the neo Queen, then at least age
and experience.
Like a cat, Haze silently scaled the length of this new perch, which,
strategically, was the one just next to healer. it could be quick. shoot out
her wire and impale the starlight's pretty lil head. make that white hair red
with blood. but where's the challenge in that? besides. Haze and her partner
- whom Haze knew was a big girl and could take care of herself, and thus was
not worried about her- were on a mission.
No. lets have some fun.
Haze rose to her full semi tall height, partially bathed in shadows.
"I have to admire your battle strategy, Healer." and once again, that thin
smile showed itself. "where as little as possible. Distract your enemy with
Cleavage and a flat tummy, and a round ass covered in Vynal. engenious."

Healer smirked. "You're just jealous you don't have as perfect body as mine." Healer shoved a little of her hair
from the front of her face with a swift movement of her gloved hand. "So why don't you come out of the
shadows and stand me face-to-face? Are you scared I'm gonna laugh at you for not being even half the beauty
that *I* am?" Looking in the direction of Haze, Healer never lost her posture (or her attitude). "I'm not afraid of
any witch like yourself, but don't think you're going to beat me. I'll never let you get past me into the palace!"
Healer grabbed her Star Yell and prepared herself for any upcoming attack.
'Where *is* everyone...' she wondered to herself.

A chuckle.
With a flutter of white a cloaked figure landed on one knee. Slowly the
white cloaked figure rose. The pal cloak in its entire covering the figure-
a hood shadowed their face. Another chuckle- soft but crisp.
"A battle of esteems now is it." their voice soft but clear- with a slight
soft gravely undertone- like the crunch of new snow under one's boots.
A pal hand slipped from the snow white cloak and raised to pull their hood
down; revealing a pal silky face- like it was carved from ice itself. Short
white cropped hair- whiter then their cloak if that be possible. Clear blue
eyes like the skies of the Arctic look amusedly at Healer. A girlish boy
beauty befalled Healer. But the rest of their body remained a mystery under
the snow white cloak- except for white boots that poked from the bottom of
the cloak. A smirk slowly crept upon the figures face- lips slightly tinged
with blue silver.
"Its rather dangerous to play with Death that way." The smirk became darker
and slyer.

Healer stood her ground and mumbled to herself. "So a second witch is at play, huh...."

Encounter

Haze arches a fine brow at Healer's chiding. Idiot she male. She
inhales to speak, but it seems Death had taken the words from her.
Grey Haze's storm coloured eyes turned to her partner, and watched
the cloaked woman do her thing.
"Very dangerous." Haze continued after her partners speech, looking
back at Healer. "There's only one smart move you can make Healer."

Healer raised an eyebrow. 'She can't possibly be talking about what I think she is...'

That familiar thin smirk showed itself again. "And I have faith you
know what that move is...." The grey clothed woman cracked her neck
with a swift roll of her head. "But since I'm getting bored, I will
cut the shit, and make it faster."
Two words were carried from Haze's soft lips, to Healer, on a cool
wind.
"Join us."

Healer's eyes widened. It *was* what she was thing. She got an annoyed look on her face. " *Join* you?? You
must be nuts! I'll never join a couple of old hags like yourselves. What for? Destroy worlds and kill people?
Turn everything into bloody darkness?? I am a Senshi of Light! Not darkness!" Healer saw some swift
movement behind Haze and Death. Healer thought to herself. '...Maker....' then shouted "Come get me if you
can!!! I'll never join you!!"

A quick flash of light shot straight towards Haze and Death from behind them while they were paying attention
to Healer.

Haze arched her scarred brow at all the "insults" and name calling being
spewed forth from healer. she had heard that the senshi could be immature
but ....
Ok, so they were immature and juvenile.
but not stupid.
Haze tilted her head, perking her ear for a sound, knowing that the senshi
nearly never worked alone. an Ambush was almost inevitable.

A quick flash of light shot straight towards Haze and Death from behind them while they were paying attention
to Healer

Course, a flash of light in the middle of evening wasn't that inconspicuous.
Idiot Senshi.

Haze sprang into action, throwing herself to the side and summeraulting
across the roof.
heh. if Maker cant control her ...urges.....she might just hit healer. wouldn't that be something.

Maker's attack missed the target, but it served as a small distraction. She ran up to Healer and grabbed her by
the arm. "Hey!! Maker! What are you doing?!" Maker began running away with Healer.
"Don't be stubborn Healer, we can't fight these girls by ourselves! They're too strong! Stop acting on your
instincts and and use your brain for once!"
Healer had an annoyed face on her while she ran with Maker. "Do you at least have any idea to where we're
going?"
"No....just keep running and don't forget to use your senses on any upcoming attacks."
Healer got really annoyed, but ran anyway.

Death flipped and saumersaulted to leap and bound onto other crumbling rooftops to follow the action. She landed easy on a shingled edge- some debry falling down extreme height. Her white cloak flared and she grinned. Oh this was wonderful. Silly little "Light Bulbs" were running like the dim watts they were. (excuse the pun ^^;)It was so pathetic- she could have laughed an hour straight. Squating pulling her muscles tight under her she lept like a Bengal tiger- padding fast and easy along small barely fezable ledges and down the wall. Finally she pushed hard off the wall and soared-mid air free fly- instintaniously she flared out her cape like an albino bat. From her body she blasted out ice like tendrels that fired directly down at Maker and Healer. Icey strips of ice; sharp pointy ends- ready to pierce their tender flesh.

Haze Strightened her upper body, kneese still on the roof, stormy eyes watching IC "fly".... She had to take a moment to keep her mind on the mission, and not on other things. Her foot pushed from the roof and bulleted her body towards the edge, where she followed IC's path, skitting over Fire escapes and diving off of flagpoles until she jumped as high as her body would take her. IC was already falling from her jump, and Haze's vault carried her over IC's body, but soon she too came down. Down so close to her partner that IC could have lapped at the end of Haze's poneytail with her tongue if she so wished to. Her feet landing nimbly on the shards of Ice that her partner had set out, as if on a skatebored. With the stance of a surfer, Haze perched along one of the strips of ice,sliding down it, ever nearing the two, and farther from her Partner.

Maker looked back and saw the ice comming towards her and Healer...
"Healer, watch it!!"
Healer look back, "Huh??" Maker puxed Healer to the side and one of the ice strips sliced Maker's back, making a straigt-line cut, and some drops of blood dropped on the floor. "Argh!!!"
Healer looked at Maker and screamed "Maker!!!"
"Come on, we need to continue to run, don't worry bout me, it's just a scratch......" They continued to run, zig-zagging and dodgeing the ice.
Healer saw now Haze coming towards them on one of the shards. "Come on, Maker! We can't just run!" She faced Haze and said "You and your buddy will pay for hurting Maker! Star Sensitive Inferno!!" she
aimed her shot straight towards the ice Haze was on, planning to break it and let Haze fall.

Haze blinked and cursed as the surge of energy rushed towards her. at her position and momentum, she couldnt risk jumping, and she couldnt slow down or stop. The power was coming quick,and she was sliding
faster then either she or Healer had inticipated. A Bright flash erupts, followed by sprey of water and ice. By the time eyes adjust, all thats left of Haze are a few whisps of fog....

Maker and Healer covered their heads with their arms with the explosion...when it all calmed down they both looked at where Haze should have been.
Healer blinks and keeps starring at the small fog... "Wha...what? Where is she? I couldn't have hit her..."
Maker looked around, but no sign of Haze. "She just...dissapeared..."
Healer looked around too, also not seeing Haze... "Can't be...she must be hiding..." she looked over to Death, shards of ice were still flying. Maker and Healer ran inside an opening in a building, hoping to be out of Death's sight.
Healer looked at Maker's back, "Are you sure you're ok? You should put something on that...."
Maker strained a bit, but sat down, "I'm sure....besides....there's no medical kit around. It's no use." They both were breathing a bit heavily, due to all the running..

Still in mid flight- Death's eyes widened...at the flash...the fog. She grit her teeth....narrowed her eyes.
Death landed hard on the closest building stumbling hard- her feet and legs slamming hard into the building. Debry went flying as she skidded to a stop. As the dust settled her cape fell and settled around her in a mess. Slowly she balled her hands into fists, grit her teeth. Her muscles balled into tight knots, she panted hard, angrily...Haze...Grey Haze...
"SEEEEEEEEEENNNNSSSSSHIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A load roar of bloody murder, ultimate anger, loathe, pain- and it was directed right at Healer and Maker.

Maker and Healer heard the terrible roar.........they exchanged looks and Maker comented "The 'Beast' is angry....and she'll do anything to see the end of us."
Healer nodded and began to think about the ones that were already dead....Endymion...Neptune....Venus.... "Such great losses.....we can't afford to lose any more....."
Silence drew apon the two.....

...It was defining..mind numbing silence..

Then a crash, shattering and tinkle of windows- the awesome sound of a
building not too far off crashing down hard. The ground rumbled with the
large chunks of metal, crystal and concreate hitting the Earth.

Silence and stars

"SENSHI!!!" another angry roar from Death "COME ON OUT!! -YOU _COWARDS_!!!!"

The two jump a bit with all the sudden noise.
Healer stood up, along with Maker. "She's.... *really* angry...what should we do?"
Maker looked at the direction the sound seemed to be coming from... "She's strong...we need to find the other senshi.."
"But..."
Maker sighed... "Right...we've made the beast angry, let's face it ourselves..."
Healer let a soft grin escape her face. Those lavander eyes sparkling at the idea of fighting...she loves a good fight. "Let's go!"
They slowly walked out, back into Death's sight, and Healer yelled out "Alright, you want a fight, we'll give you one!!"

White cloak blew in the sudden angry wind. The surrounding air seemed to hold a cold aire of death. Debry and dust of the recently destroyed buildings flew by in the newly tensed air. There the women stood high ontop of a ragged abandoned building. Eyes hard, hard with hate and contracted pupils directed straight at the StarSenshi. No words, not a breath, nothing- just the flapping of the cloak in the harsh wind...

***
Healer kept looking at her. Trying to make eye contact....just starring...wondering....what her next move could be.
Would she accept the "challenge"?
"Look how pathetic, Maker. She can't even fight. She just stays there and..."
Maker stares at Healer and says quietly "Shut up...."
Healer looked annoyed and yelled at the woman "Come here and fight us already! Let's get this over with!!!"
IC Death made eye contact alright- straight at SailorStarHealer. White eyes, surrounded by a rim of blue and a dark bottomless center for a pupil- and it made a direct connection with Healer's ever green eyes. It was the look of Death itself- so cold, so direct- the air could have frozen in a direct line between the two pairs of eyes. So eager to antisipate, so eager to jump into a blood bath..... they didn't even care that they just killed the love of her life...the one thing that kept her going. Where was this aparent "love" and "justice"??
The hard connection died when a weird smirk slowly spread slowly on the pale women's face.
"Now" her voice was quiet but clear as the wind seemed to come to a dead stop. A darker smirk spread. "..now your as bad as we." the words where whispered....whispered and as quiet as the sound of crunching snow...

***
Healer felt a really cold shiver down her spine as she made eye contact with Death....
Her dark blue, almost black, eyes seemed to freak Healer in a way she definately would not show. Healer's look continued the same. Cold. Empty. Angry...
Though she would not admit it...she was scared. What the hell she meant by "bad as they are"? What ever happened to Grey Haze? She really died?
Oh well, they killed her loved ones, she should kill IC's loved ones....

"Yeah, we're pretty bad!" Healer made a tough look with a soft smirk. "Who knows maybe we're even more than you are...want a challange? I'm ready. Are you?"
Inside, Healer wanted to run away and pretend it was all a bad dream. No...this is worse......it's a nightmare.
But her pride would never let her do that. She must avenge her loved ones' deaths... She would not settle until she reached this goal.

Maker put a hand on Healer's shouder. Looking at her, with an angry face. Healer assumed that she too thought about their losses.

They're ready to fight.

Ic Death's lips pursed dramatically and she let out a
warped "UuuuuW!" her brows furrowed and a psychotically angry yet
happy look flashed on her face. "your BAD all right. Been a bunch of
bad girls." A more suggestive look crossed the pale woman's
face...her white cloak fluttered still covering her frame. She licked
a fang eyes going half, "Guess I'll have to spank your leather clad
bottom." A deep splinter of laughter as she raised her hood up with
ease becoming the snow white of Death. Suddenly without word the
figure fell from its perch to strike with speed helped by the Earth's
natural force; gravity. Several tendrels of sharp ice shot from the
white cloak to the starsenshi...as the senshi moved to avoid
the...they suddenly realized the cape was growing larger, spreading
apart- Wait! The cape wasn't its white material anymore- it was
water! The tenderals of ice shooting at them helped spread the water
at a incrediable speed- like a net!

(Neo ooc: if the water touches anything - its frozen on contact)

(Healer ooc: eep! hint taken o.o')

Healer was stubborn and didn't want to move, but Maker was aware of the danger facing them and grabbed Healer by the wrist and began running away.
"Hey that's just water!!" Healer shouted while running, "It won't do any dammage!"
"Yeah well, I don't want to stick around and find out for sure!" Maker shoved Healer into an opening underground to protect them from the tendrels and the water. Maker jumped in after her, but before she could get totally inside, some water hit her right ankle.
"Phew...." Maker sat down next to Healer...she noticed her right foot was froozen.
"Maker!!" She pointed to her foot, amazed.
"Whoa! It's frozen!" Maker tried to lift it up, but it was too heavy. "Oh, gosh, I can't run like this...."
Healer got out her star yell "Star Sensitive....!"
"Wait Healer!! You could brake the ice and brake away my foot too!! The best thing to do was to get some fire or anything hot to melt the ice..."
Healer looked sadly at her companion's foot... "But what about Death? There's nothing to build a fire with in here...."
Maker smiled gently "I'll be alright...got out there...try and find any help you can to defeat her."
Healer stood up and prepared to get herself out of the hole. "Alright. I'll come back to you. Promise."
Maker smiled while watching her friend get out of the hole...

Outside all the water and tendrels had already fallen, alot of stuff was frozen. Healer looked around.

"I'm back!! Where are you???"
