Meril -- Lenneth took a step back from the keyboard, not to avoid the flames but simply to give herself room to clear her sword from her sheath with a ring of Ether-coated metal.
"You who tread against the order of things." She practically spat the words as she raised her sword, then took it in a two-handed grip. "Here you shall meet your end, and may Hel receive you!"
She all but exploded from her stance, lunging forward towards Usagi with speed that belied her armor. Rei might have attacked first, but she remembered Sailor Moon from that night outside the tower, and her words then. Duty impelled her to attack.
But this was no reckless attack that paid no heed to the others; she expected action from all three. That was why the lunge abruptly became a slide, her momentum and strength carrying her punishingly forward towards Serena to knock her off balance and set her up for further attack -- while hopefully going beneath whatever hostilities had been launched to intercept her.
