A figure entered the fray, cutting clean through a Miseria with one of the dual swords it wielded. Not a magical girl, nor even a living being - the streetlights revealed it to be a horse-headed construct, with a doll-like jointed torso and arms, clad in black armour. Its lower half was a cone, like that of a chess piece, hovering a short distance over the ground.

Above her knight, Himea leapt down from a rooftop, landing in a catlike crouch next to Yayoi. She stood up tall, holding out a gloved hand and absorbing the wispy remnants of the Miseria, while glaring over at Oros. As usual, the vampire-like magical girl couldn't keep her hands to herself, and was all over Rei this time. The shudder running through Himea wasn't just from the thrill of bolstering her power - possessive people with no regard for boundaries gave her the creeps, even if they were on the same side. [color=B39500]"Down."[/color] She pointed her sceptre at Oros, then gestured with it at the ground, like a royal giving orders to a subject. [color=B39500]"You heard Rei. She's not your feast tonight. They are."[/color] She swept her sceptre towards the Miseria gathering in the shadows. The Miseria which, one by one, exploded in splatters of goo as the psychotic new girl struck them with bolts of neon lightning, before unleashing a verbal assault as vicious as her physical one.

Putting her free hand on her hip, Himea kept her expression neutral, coolly eyeing the foul-mouthed Nyxia. [color=B39500]"Now now, I know the hunt is exciting and all, but you'll want to keep a level head about it. Tactics are just as important as strength."[/color] She gestured to Yayoi. [color=B39500]"Take Mercurial's example. She knows a thing or two about finesse."[/color]

A worse annoyance than Nyxia, however, was rapidly approaching. Himea felt it before she saw any signs, an aura of sickening warmth and positivity, like too-bright sunlight peeking out from behind clouds. The next moment, a fiery pink streak sailed through the sky, narrowly missing Rei as it hit the street lamp in a burst of flame. With a huff, Himea beckoned the knight to her side, giving the newcomers a condescending stare. A pink-haired girl with wings, and... Two girls on the back of a giant slimy toad? One of whom wielded a massive hammer and had gore smeared on her clothes? Himea wrinkled her nose. And she'd thought Nyxia unrefined.

[color=B39500]"Just what do you think you're doing,"[/color] she demanded, tilting her head, [color=B39500]"interrupting a banquet fit for a queen?"[/color]
