Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher

[avidita]

Who: Team Pride (Mammon, Robin, Eiji, Eda, Agent 3, Vastra), Team Virgo (Minako, Usagi, Oscar, Namine, Frisk), and the Tech Team (Doc Brown, Sarah)
What: Time to kick robot ass.
When: During Flowers Over Bones/Crown of Thorns performances, and then for some time after
Where: The respective venues, and then elsewhere
Warnings: Violence of an indeterminate amount

Tonight's the night. Jobs have been wrapped up, preparations have been made, and now the groups that have agreed to this little mission are gathering. The targets are the managers of Pride band "Crown of Thorns" and Virgo's "Flowers Over Bones". Respectively, they have a gig at Cat's Eyes Casino and a little club called Sidewalk Innocence. Two places that are near enough that a rivalry scuffle could be blamed in the aftermath...

One last exchange on the communicators, and then the groups are on their own to take out their target.


OOC Notes:
1. The managers have enhanced strength, endurance, and speed. Teamwork is required to take them down.
2. Feel free to decide on posting order or lack of one OOCly with your team.
3. The relevant top levels will be: Team Pride VS An, Team Virgo VS Angel, and Tech Crew.

No problem.

[She made her way to that location, and took a deep breath. She thought of every wonderful moment she had with Rei, how beautiful the actual music, and just how wonderful it would be to have Rei hold again.

So she filled her lungs and-]

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH FLOWER OVER BONES I LOVE YOOOOUUUUU!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO! YOU'RE AMAZING!

[hearted]

Yeah! Let's go, right this way...

[Her voice is quiet, she doesn't really want to be too loud about what she might be doing. She maintains a light and gentle grip on Usagi's arm as they head backstage, though it's for comfort too.]

Ready to see something amazing?

[lightthedarkness]

OH MY GOSH! EEEEEE!

[She was bouncing of course, and clapping, looking all the world like an excited fan who just got a chance of a lifetime rather than having this staged. She could be a pretty convincing actress if necessary.]

[hearted]

Alright! Right this way..

[Her eyes dart this way and that, looking for their target. Angel spotted---all right. Time to minimize the amount of onlookers. Fortunately there weren't that many to start.]

If we can just get you here...right this way, you'll see the band in a minute.

[She squeezes Usagi's arm, a question as much as a signal. They'll have to move as one---she can already feel her crystal burning inside her.]

[lightthedarkness]

[Getting past security with Minako looking like a stage hand had worked in their favor and now backstage, she purposely toned down everything. She had worn dark colors so as not to stand out, but now more than ever she wishes she had the moon disguise pen.

She took a deep breath and her fingers curled. She nodded, knowing that it was now or never. They weren't just doing this for Rei. They were going to get Angel and get valuable information to the others, to know how best to deal with the other managers.]

I'm so ready! [She said with excitement, but also as confirmation.]

[hearted]

[Good thing she sees the switch. Or what he hopes is the switch. Minako carefully bustles about, subtly guiding them all right over the door, and...]

Go!

[The second she hits it she jumps down, already calling up the energy of her Venus Crystal. She'll unleash in just a moment, after that door closes itself.]

[linkthismemory]

[In the Audience, Namine was waiting. She blended into the crowd enough but she stayed near the back of the room, so that when she needed to disappear, she could. She was also in dark colors for once, and had her hood up over her hair. If one would've known to look, they might've thought they were dealing with a member of the Organization.

Whenever she got a signal, she'd open a portal to get where the others were, and hopefully, get them all out.]

Is everything alright?

[ She's not a fighter, and so her place is best served by being the plan for escape. ]

[lightthedarkness]

[Her chest glowed as she cried out

'Silver Moon Crystal Power, Make up!' transforming into Eternal Sailor Moon alongside Venus as they both slammed into Angel and the door closed behind them.]

`NAMINE GET THE PORTAL READY!' [She could feel Angel struggle, the robot turning to face Venus and herself with a glare as she was separated from the band.]

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS! [Angel demanded as she curled her fist, clearly ready to attack the two senshi.]

[hearted]

[Sailor Venus immediately called up her chain, sending it out with a flick of her wrist. She'd bear any pain from getting too close, she could only hope it would hold.]

Roger that!

[Then, back to the action:]

Sailor Moon, try an attack! I can't pull her just yet.

[She was still resisting too strongly. Angel was inhumanly strong, of course, as she lashed out, battering as much of Minako's limbs as she could reach.]

[linkthismemory]

Just a moment. I'll be there.

[ Namine steps back into the shadows, out of sight of the crowd and puts up a hand. In the room with the scouts, a swirling portal appears and Namine steps through a moment later, heels clicking on the floor, and hood up over her face.

The portal blinks out, and then remakes itself again, as she readjusts where the doorway leads.

She steps back and out of the way, sure she's going to be a nuisance if they're going to have get Angel into the portal, and watches with wide, worried eyes.]

Over here!

[lightthedarkness]

[As soon as Namine appeared with the portal that would take them to the park, Sailor Moon summoned her Tiare. Even though it wouldn't be as powerful as she needed it, it should still do the trick.]

'Silver Moon Crystal Power Therapy Kiss!' [The blow hit Angel dead on, her hand falling off as she put it up to block it. But it did what Sailor Moon needed it to do, it pushed the robot into the portal where the others were waiting to help. She turned to look at Venus and Namine.]

We have to hurry before she can recuperate! Let's go!

[determinate]

[Frisk, meanwhile, has spent their time carefully emptying this little corner of the park. It wouldn't be good to have people see this. Luckily, they can usually get people to wander off just by staring silently for a little bit. You don't talk as little as they without learning how creepy some people think quiet kids are.

They step back as Namine's portal opens, depositing a one-handed robot woman onto the grass. She looks mad.

Frisk considers this for a moment. Then they bound up into the air, far higher than any human should be able to leap, and bounce once off Angel's head before jumping up into the branches of a nearby tree. It won't really damage her, but maybe it'll distract her for a second until the others are ready to attack again? Besides, they've kinda been wanting to use these jumping boots in a fight for a while. Think of the speed boost!]

[linkthismemory]

[ Namine has to be the last one out, if she wants the portal to hold, she's holding her hand up and staring at it as she focuses on keeping the gate up.]

Go! I can hold it. I'll be right behind you! I promise!

[ She's going to stay until the other two are in, or until she's pushed, it's really that simple for her. Escaping is easiest for her, so why wouldn't she? ]

[hearted]

Got it! We're going!

[Sailor Venus digs her heels in to gather her strength, then grits her teeth and uses herself as a battering ram. That's going to hurt in the morning, but there isn't time to fuss.

As soon as they're through, she tries to pull herself off. Ah---yeah, she's earned some nasty scratches from that, but everyone else is safer.]

[lightthedarkness]

[Even with only one hand, Angel was still a viable threat. The attack Sailor Moon had was only of moderate strength, if she were at her full abilities, Angel would be scrap metal right now. But she wasn't and Angel wasn't and she'd just have to make do. She looked over to Venus, making sure she was alright before she flew up high into the air to make sure that they could attack Angel at all angles.

What she wouldn't give for a Sailor Senshi Planet Attack right now.]

Sailor Venus, we can combine attacks!

[hearted]

Right!

[She clenched her fist, charging up with all the power she had left. Her golden light enveloped her, then slipped into the space between her and Sailor Moon.]

Venus Crystal Power!

[lightthedarkness]

Silver Moon Crystal Power! [She could feel Venus' power building, the way she could always feel her senshi, and closed her eyes as she put her hands in front of her, the Tiare gleaming bright an ready to guide the power of the two senshi.]
