The kiss was appreciated, and in it's own way helped reaffirm Neptune's determination to escape. With a surge of strength in her lithe body, the blue-haired woman bounded from the trap in perfect unison with her partner.

Her head immediately began to clear as soon as they left the trapping field. Neptune couldn't help but let a sigh of relief escape her lips. Whatever pleasantries were enjoyed due to the trap, they were best experienced under less dire circumstances.

"It appears that way. Some creatures are hopelessly stubborn like that." Neptune agreed, getting into a stance. "And I agree, clean up would definitely be the most appropriate course of action in this circumstance, Uranus!"

Eliminating any trace of this near-defeat was right up her alley. "Although, this plant absorbed my power when I struck at it earlier so it might not be as easy as all that, I'm afraid." Neptune thought for a moment. "Perhaps what I suggested before...a combined strike with our powers. Such strength might overwhelm whatever defenses it has."

Uranus smirked. If Neptune said that was what it took, it'd be her pleasure.

"Aren't you bossy," she sighed, raising her hand. Light arced from between her fingers, but she wouldn't release it until Neptune's attack was ready, too. Then they'd finish this up and be on their way. "Let's get this over with. World..."

Neptune gave a brief nod of acknowledgement to her partner, then prepared her own attack.

Feeling her power well up within her, Neptune took special care to ensure that her energies and aura was in tune with Uranus's own. Combining attacks successfully took special attention and focus, but for a team as practiced as Neptune and Uranus it was practically second nature.

In short order, Sailor Neptune was ready strike at their captor along with Sailor Uranus. A swirl of water-like energy coalesced into an orb over her head, and with hardened determination she let the energy fly in sync with Uranus's strike.

"Deep Submerge!"

"...Shaking!"

The two attacks merged, slamming into the mistletoe with a window-rattling explosion. When the light cleared, a few charred leaves drifted down from a smudge on the ceiling. Nothing else remained.

Uranus smirked, relaxing. Not bad, for an evening's work. They could take their time sauntering back to the car...

And then the ceiling cracked.

And the mistletoe was gone...all major traces of it. Neptune once again felt the grim satisfaction of an enemy destroyed. But with the immediate threat gone, another potential issue began to bubble up in her mind.

'Now I just need to figure out how to handle the issue of Uranus's identity.' Neptune thought, her glossed lips turning into a slight frown. 'I imagine Haruka and I will have plenty to talk about once we...'

However, Neptune's thoughts were interrupted by the ceiling cracking, something her keen senses were quick to pick up on. Immediately, her thoughts turned to protecting her partner. "Uranus! We should withdraw! The room might collapse!" The blue-haired Senshi had already tensed her body to dart towards an escape route.

Uranus was right behind her - and then right ahead of her, opening the door to the stairwell. "Never a dull moment, right?" she asked, grinning over her shoulder. They'd have to both remember to avoid indoor fights from now on, however. Neither could afford the distraction of worrying about property damage...especially not the thought that the property might damage them right back.

They also should probably vacate the premises even if part of the ceiling didn't end up collapsing. So although Sailor Uranus had entered this staircase, it was Tenoh Haruka who, like the consummate gentleman that she was, held the door open for her partner at the bottom. Her convertible was parked not far away, in the adjacent parking lot. By all means, Michiru. After you.
