Thread: Persona Jupiter! ...wut? (Candira and Malfrost)

Something was amiss. There had been sightings of strange monsters and reports of mystifying attacks in this area, which was why Lita was here in the first place. Word of these events had spread to Tokyo, prompting the scouts to look into the matter. This wasn't the only area where new threats had been sighted, however. So each scout was patrolling a different zone, collecting as much information as possible. Lita had been given this particular zone, and had followed a lead to the roof of an apartment building in midtown. She had wandered around all day and found nothing. Rather than wait on the ground floor for something to happen somewhere else, she had taken up a perch on the roof as she surveyed the place. Until moments ago, everything had been lively, but since it was midnight, things were winding down. And suddenly, Lita was struck with unease. The town...something about it was too still. Even for this time of night, there were usually people out at restaurants or bars. But it was as though time had stopped. A dark aura descended upon the town at the stroke of midnight, and it seemed like all life simply... stopped. Frowning, the scout stood up and stretched her long legs, deciding that waiting around in a town with this darkness in it was a foolish idea. So she tossed her chestnut ponytail over her shoulder and held her transformation pen. Jupiter Planet Power! In moments, lightning washed over her, transforming her into a champion of justice. Standing on the roof as Sailor Jupiter, she closed her eyes and tried to concentrate. Just as she was beginning to feel a presence, she heard a scream. Her green eyes shot open, flashing in urgency as she ran toward the source of the sound, leaping from rooftop to rooftop until she found it. A young man was being attacked by what appeared to be...Well, she wasn't quite sure. It was definitely a monster though. Growling, she unleashed a thunderbolt on the enemy and leapt down in front of the victim. Back away from him, monster. This is one fight you don't want to get into. The proud Sailor Jupiter stood tall and asserted herself as a shield between the creature and the man who was, understandably, freaking out. Are you alright? she asked, over her shoulder. The standard whimpering and weak, Yes, followed and Jupiter grinned. Good. Get out of here while you can. And with that, she launched into an attack, charging her fists with electricity. Why bother with speeches when your attacks could speak for you? Besides, the scouts had learned in the past that only certain enemies would wait for flowery declarations of justice and punishment. Better to take the direct approach. The monster was still recoiling from the last jolt. Now that Lita got a better look at it, she saw that it had the body of a man, but the head was an oversized orb with a super enlarged mouth. It hadn't seen the bolt out of the blue that had been her last attack, but it saw her coming--somehow--this time. It managed to dodge the first attack, barely blocking the follow up kick. It did not, however, block the quick fists that followed that as Jupiter spun, putting her weight behind it. It howled again in inhuman pain and stumbled back, before rushing at her once more. Though she could handle herself well, this attack would work better if she had some decent back up. Or any, for that matter.
