[color=a187be]While watching the battle, Felixter and the others hear stomping in the distance, and turn to see a large wooden figure making its way through the forest in a rather destructive manner. All of them blink in surprise.
"W...what is that?" Kayori asks.
"You think the witches or the Master are behind that...?" Ammi frowns. "Regardless, if it gets too close, I'll turn the whole thing to ash..."
"It doesn't seem like something they'd do...let us just monitor it from the side. The real focus of things is below us." Felixter shakes his head in response.
Meanwhile, as the group is distracted, a small, fast orange snake slithers its way up the stairs and past their feet...[/color]
[color=8dc73f]Noruani continues trying to push against Morgan's torrent of shadows with all of her might, but it seems that once again, the most knowledgeable witch of the group is overpowered by the limits of her smaller body. It always happened that way for Noruani. While her sisters could actually strike someone on their own without magic, Noruani found herself unable to do so, because of her size and stature. At the moment, though, it seemed Noruani wasn't frustrated with that. In fact, as she started giving up and letting the shadows overtake her, she was giggling with glee.
"Meora-chan....terminate..." Noruani whispered with a sly grin before she stopped pushing back the shadows with her magic completely.
On the battlefield, Meora's ears perked up at the command, and she found herself trembling again as she fought for control over herself. She was still standing rigidly still in the same place, but now, the hand holding her pistol was slowly raising on it's own, and pressing the weapon up to her temple. In desperation, she struggled against that one finger on the trigger, the only thing standing between life and death for her now.
Natasha glares at Joe after hearing his response to her proposition. She sighs, rolling her eyes. "These people...why, oh why do they always choose the harder route? Fine. It matters not, I suppose. In the end, the Master will always get what he desires...no simple little mutts like yourselves will ever get in the way of someone as powerful as he." Natasha smirks, shapeshifting into a large demon beast with shiny dark green skin, huge teeth and claws, and larger wings. Her horns become larger, but her witch hat still remains on her head. She dodges most of the oncoming fire and ice bolts, but the ones that hit seem to matter less to her now. She surrounds herself in violent green magic, turns around, and starts flying towards the edge of the battlefield, where one certain person still sits.
"FOR SUCH INSOLENCE, THE INNOCENT SHALL PAY!" Natasha roars with outstretched claws.
Mirui turns around to see a dark green monster heading straight for her, and starts to scream.
"MIRUI!" Kiroketsu shouts with horror where he lies on the battlefield, having just put himself back together. He gets up in a hurry with his guitar in his claws, and goes as fast as he can. He arrives just in time to land a perfect shot, connecting his guitar successfully with the witch at last, and hitting her a few feet away.
"YEAH!" Kiroketsu fist-pumps with a huge grin of satisfaction. Mirui is still shaking, but she lets out a large sigh of relief.
"IT TAKES MUCH MORE THAN A GUITAR TO TAKE ME DOWN, BOY..." Natasha snarls, getting back up and facing Kiroketsu.
"BRING IT, UGLY HAG!" Kiroketsu hisses back. Natasha lets out a demon screech of fury and zooms at the spirit guardian. He holds her claws at bay by blocking them with his guitar (which is surprisingly not scratched by any of this, let alone broken), while extending out his tongue and wrapping it around her neck to try and choke her. His face turns a bit green, and not just because of the witch's magic.
"UGH...tastes....horrible...!" Kiroketsu chokes out.[/color]
[color=6ecff6]Nymne is about to say something else to her sister, when she hears someone behind them all of a sudden. Nymne turns to see Lucas standing there, and for a moment, contemplates whether or not she should dispose of the witness. Would he really do anything? And if he did...would it matter much?
"It is none of your concern, boy. Nothing is wrong here. I am just having a rather important chat with my little sister." Nymne replies to Lucas with a complacent smile. Nelodine doesn't say anything, but doesn't give off the impression that she's really in trouble either.[/color]

[color=ec008c]"I'm sure Queen Shadowelle would LOVE to have you down for a party!" Amber grins happily.
"Yeah! We're the queen's favorites, so any friend of ours is a friend of hers for certain!" Clancy nods in agreement.
"Well, I-" Nimika starts, but stops as soon as she sees Karl being attacked. Of course, she doesn't do anything to stop this at all, as it looks as if he deserved it. Nimika simply turns her attention back to the demon, walking along with his and listening to what he has to say.
"Them?" Nimika glances back at Amber and Clancy, then turns back to the guide demon. "Friends? No. They just followed me here...but, really, I've had experience with those two. They're on the same level as Karl here seems to be." She explains, then nods at his explanation of the council. She grins. "Well, the real power comes from my commander, the Master, as he's called. However, as his top worker and representative, I'm sure I can do just fine with impressing the council..."
Back where Amber and Clancy are, they turn to the next person to address them, and grin.
"Oh, yeah, we followed you~!" Amber admits with a hum.
"It seemed like a fun adventure to go on!" Clancy adds enthusiastically. Both of the shadows then notice Karl and start laughing again.
"It's so good to know that there are such cool people till out there~!" Both of the shadows say simultaneously.[/color]
