The yellow ball of energy crackled as it was sent out, flying absolutely true towards one of those present.
"Children and their toys," said one woman, catching the ball idly in one hand and examining it.
"Deep Submerge!" Sailor Neptune tried, choosing this old guy to shoot at.
The old but muscular man seemed to spare her no more attention than to shoo away an errant fly, catching the sphere upon the tines of a trident without missing a beat in his conversation with some elegant elf.
The Outer Senshi's groove was seriously bent at this point. Ignoring their attacks was NOT normally something that they had to deal with.
Crown Prince Norihito had a touch of divine ancestry as well as some experience with magic and martial arts, though rarely as a direct manipulator of either. He cleared his throat. "Miss Kaioh? If I may have a word with you?"
Sailor Neptune turned towards this before it registered that she was being addressed as her civilian identity, then she gaped for a brief unelegant moment as she recognized who had hailed her. "the prince?!"

It occurred to him that in a world where martial arts crazies might show up at any moment, people who were professional bodyguards for highly placed individuals were likely a bit more formidable than, just as an example, Tatewaki Kuno.
Michiru was thinking fast too. Her secret identity compromised? This had repercussions beyond the immediate. It was a pity, but she had no choice - did she? "Submarine Reflect-"
"Oh fuss and bother," said someone, idly tossing a hammer. "If I'm not allowed to get into any scrapes, I don't see why you lot should either."
BOOM! went the hammer, so that most of what the thrower had said after 'bother' was unheard over the metal hammer exceeding the sound barrier and burning the air away around it so that the air slammed into place along its passage.
WHOOM! went the hammer as it impacted the face of the Neptune Mirror.
