Jupiter's back was to the wall. Literally. She'd tripped over a can someone had left lying around, and was certain this was the end.
Donovan gestured, and Dhylec flew over his head. "Now it ends, Darkstalker." Pity, he thought, that this one was so cowardly that it never took its true form.
The Dhylec blade flew forward, and Jupiter braced herself, calling up her energies. She was determined to at least die fighting!
"Deep Submerge!"
At the last moment, the blast of magical water knocked Dhylec off its course.
"What?" Donovan turned to look at his fallen sword...
"World Shaking!"
Only to be blasted next to it by yet another attack. Standing, he saw too more female darkstalker... dressed similarly to the darkstalker in green, but with different colors. Like her, they were in a human form and were wielding powers of Light and Order. Summoning Dhylec to him, he frowned, then leapt away from battle. The taller one pursued him for a while, but he lost her easily.
One such darkstalker, he'd have brushed off as an anomaly. Three... was another matter. He'd need to know more about what was going on if he intended to strike these Darkstalkers low.
Besides, for the moment, he had other 'stalkers to hunt. Pyron, or something like Pyron, had attacked this city. He'd best save his energies for that hunt first.

Uranus returned to where Neptune was helping Jupiter to her feet. "Damn it! I lost him!"
"Any clue as to who that was, Jupiter?"
Jupiter shook her head. "No. He just showed up, and started swinging that sword thing around. He kept calling me Darkstalker, or something..."
Uranus sighed. "Wonderful. Either he's a loony, an ally who's gotten mixed up, or both."
"Thanks for the save, by the way." Jupiter said at last.
"Actually..." Neptune replied, "We were looking for you."
Jupiter had a sinking feeling. "Oh? Why?"
"We haven't been able to contact Mercury all morning. We think whatever happened to the others got to her, too." Uranus answered.
Neptune nodded. "So we think it would be best if the rest of us stuck together for now. We're going to go pick up Hotaru from school..."
Jupiter just zoned out the rest of it. Ami was missing, too? She was the last Inner Senshi?
