With a sigh, Himea rolled her eyes at Nyxia. Yes, she got it. Power felt good. She knew that better than anyone. Yet that didn't mean this girl had to be a walking electrical hazard, or waste the night bickering when they could [i]all[/i] be feasting on Miseria. The light girls were causing enough of an issue as it was.

At least this made for an opportunity.

[color=B39500]"Keep them distracted,"[/color] she whispered to Yayoi, before dismissing her knight in a swirl of black mist, and striding over to Nyxia. As she did, she discreetly formed another chess piece in her left hand and flicked it into a dark alleyway, where it slowly grew.

[color=B39500]"More effective in terms of not taking out your teammates in the process,"[/color] she replied. Good thing she hadn't had a pawn out, she thought. A stray lightning bolt could have prematurely detonated it and caught anyone nearby in the blast. [color=B39500]"And, y'know, actually saving some for the rest of us. We may not be big on the whole selflessness thing, but we have [i]some[/i] manners here."[/color]

By now, in the alleyway, another figure hovered. One with a cross for a head, and a robe that looked to be woven of shadow. Nearby Miseria hunched, shrinking in on themselves, murky mist streaming from them towards the Bishop chess piece. [color=B39500]"After all,"[/color] Himea continued, lowering her voice, [color=B39500]"you really, really don't want to get in our leader's bad books. So watch as I do the opposite."[/color] She swept her sceptre in Rei's direction, or at least, that was what it looked like she was doing. In truth, the gesture commanded the bishop forth, a black and purple energy sphere forming in the centre of the cross. 

[color=B39500]"Now!"[/color] Breaking away from Nyxia and leaping to the bishop's side, Himea pointed her sceptre forward and willed her summon to unleash a beam of destructive magic, being careful to avoid Shatterscape. [color=B39500]"Get the frog!"[/color] The blast crackled, shooting upwards. If it hit, that'd be the perfect cue for Shatterscape to make her move, then they'd be able to subdue the light girls and bring them to Rei.

Choosing the venue for a celebratory dinner certainly did sound appealing.
