Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bacchus hadn’t been present on Earth when the Calamitous Hornworm or whatever it wanted to call itself had been rampaging around, but it had been the only thing powerful enough to affect anything through the Chaos back there. At the time he’d thought the purple lightning was just another illusion courtesy of the planet’s ubiquitous spores, but gods know how many volts crashing through his nerves quickly relieved him of that idea.

From what others had told him the wretched thing had proven itself quite a performer for those with views unobstructed by centuries of Chaos’ sky grime, and whatever was causing this mess hadn’t bothered to take the stage. Regardless, the deep space senshi was in no hurry to repeat the experience.

“Oh for ******** sake.”

All those years he’d spent surrounded by Chaos had made him perhaps a bit slower than he should have been, at least when it came to registering energy signatures as something other than background noise. There were other elements in play of course, if he was willing to admit that to himself, but it seemed a small price to pay for the moments of quiet it afforded him. His mind twitched at the sight of the all too familiar agent, a scowl streaking across his face. Her youth hadn’t been apparent during their previous tussle, but in the light of this electrical show he could see that she was barely out of adolescence. Of course Chaos had to start feeding on them young, like any other predator. Easier to snap them up when they were vulnerable, after all.

Ugh.

More than he wanted to consider.
