[color=a187be]Numirra is shocked (almost quite literally) by how quick and strategic Morgan's comeback to her attack is, though the witch's expression still doesn't lose its bored feel. She lets go of Morgan, trying to harness the doubly-powerful electricity strike and recycle it a 2nd time, though in the process, her hair does end up a bit frizzed. "How troublesome...I wish I could just go back home and eat some pudding or something..." Numirra yawns, tossing the remaining electricity harnessed from Morgan's attack off-handedly at a Kyru or two before turning towards the magic stairs leading up to the hotel's entrance. "But...we came here for her, so I guess we should at least try to find her before we leave, eh?" The anti-magic shields casted on everyone seems to bring Meora to a halt in the middle of the battle. With this boost, Meora fights to tear her mind away from the sinister little demon witch's claws, but even still, she's having much difficulty. "Oh, Meora-chan, how silly..." Noruani giggles. "It's not that easy to defy my power. I've got my father's abilities in me. I-" The little witch doesn't get to finish her prideful little monologue before she sees Morgan coming at her with a torrent of shadows. Trapped inside, Noruani scowls, and the red rings in her eyes glow a more intense red. She summons up her own magic power from the pit of her soul, enveloping herself with it and trying to rip through the shadows completely. Upon finally managing to get the guitar back out of his throat, Kiroketsu takes it in his claws and gets back up onto his feet. He spots Mirui on the ground and quickly goes over to help her. "Mirui? AY, Mirui, look at me! It's gonna be alright!" He tries to assure her, but his words fall upon deaf ears. The girl is still hopelessly locked inside of her own worst fear in the form of a curse-induced nightmare. Joe's anti-curse spells snap her out of it somewhat, and she finally blinks again, crawling out of fetal position and looking around. "Eh? Mirui, you okay there? I-WHOA!" Kiroketsu flinches when the monster girl suddenly leaps at him. Instead of clawing him to pieces as everyone else would, however, she's embraced him, wailing. "P-PURPLE KITTY-MAN!" Mirui sobs aloud. "I-I WAS SOOO-OO-OOO SCAAARED!" Kiroketsu pauses for a moment, a blush coming across his face. He hesitantly puts an arm around the girl, while fighting back a grin. [i]'SCOOORRRRRE! Man, how could you make this moment any better?!'[/i] Kiroketsu thinks to himself, and his eyes trail over to Natasha. He gets a determined look in his eyes, and lets go of Mirui to stand back up. She looks up at him in confusion. "Don't worry, big girl." Kiroketsu gives her a thumbs-up. "I'm gonna go make things even! Just you watch!" With that, he races over to where the witch in green stands, planning to swing his guitar hard right into her side. Unfortunately, his choice to sound out a loud war-cry as he's running makes him easily noticeable to the witch, and seconds before he can attack, Natasha whips around with a blade of magic energy, slicing him in half horizontally. "Tch. Idiot." Natasha rolls her eyes, walking away from him and looking at others on the battlefield. She turns to Srg and Joe, since they're the ones healing Sephie's friends with their own spells. She clears her throat for attention. "You know...at the moment, we're only here seeking one thing. If you could just deliver it to us, we'd just as soon be on our merry way~..."[/color] [color=6ecff6]Inside of the hotel, the most sought after of the 6 witch sisters is fleeing further up different hallways to get as far away from the entrance and battle outside as possible. The young witch in blue wipes the beginnings of tears away from her eyes while running, and when she finally stops, she's shivering. "T-they're here for me again...it's my fault that they're hurting my friends...again..." Nelodine whimpers quietly to herself in the seemingly empty corridor. "Why can't they leave me alone...?...Why can't I [i]do[/i] something about them?!...I'm so pathetic..." "I wouldn't say that." Nelodine jumps, whipping around to see a surprising sight. "N-Nymne?! You....you talk...? Did they teach you?" Nelodine whispers, taking a step back. "I always knew how to talk. I just choose to keep it under a beastly mask, so my sisters are none the wiser. Except for maybe you and...possibly Noruani. She knows everything anyway, does she not?" Nymne chuckles. "Anyhow...I believe you're quite brave. It's not easy defying your sisters as you have. Even if they come back for you...you can fight them off. I might be willing to help you too..."[/color] [color=ec008c]"YAAAAAY, MORE COLORFUL BOMBS OF MAYHEM!" Clancy cries out with joy. "Of course you can come party with us whenever you like! Say, maybe you could even become a shadow like us, if you stayed with us long enough in Shadowland~!" Amber giggles with glee at the thought. The comment makes Nimika shudder slightly. The thought of the already-insane Karl becoming a shadow like Amber and Clancy....why, it's the stuff of nightmares for even the worst of villains. Nimika's thoughts are taken off of the horrific subject when she spots Gerose and a couple others heading in their direction. She grins after hearing the demon creature in the shirt and jeans tell her that he can take her to the council. "That would be lovely, and much appreciated..."[/color]
