[hr]

The ground was beginning to shake. Kyōka could hear something loudly scraping across the pavement, like a blade against concrete. There were several loud crashes, and a car alarm rang in the distance. Then, suddenly, out from a side street, an enormous creature covered in pincer-like claws rushed forth, skidding to a stop as it turned its giant head to face them. Kyōka's blood froze in her veins as the beast let out a mighty roar, and she barely even heard her pink Senpai telling her to stay back - not as if that was necessary. She'd just steeled herself to fight, but... but... what even was there that she could do against THAT?! It was the size of a bus! No, maybe even bigger than a bus! It looked like its skin was made of solid stone, and it could probably crush her with a flick of its giant pincer-arm, even with her body's reinforcement!

[color=#AC1947]"Aegis, calm down!"[/color] Ariel bellowed in her ear, and she jumped, momentarily in her surprise forgetting that she should have been afraid. [color=#AC1947]"Nobody's expecting you to bring that thing down head on. But there are things you can do. Those powers I gave you aren't useless. If you use your head, you can definitely find a way to help!"[/color]

She took a deep breath. Ariel was right, of course. If she lost her head here, then she'd only slow the others down. She had to think... how could she help them? Just as she was thinking about this, though, somebody suddenly shouted from behind her. Another Magical Girl? She said she'd be able to find the creature's weaknesses... Then that meant that it had weaknesses, right?

The Negari began to scuttle forward, and in an instant, Kyōka had her answer. Its movements were bug-like in nature, with its long, carapace-covered body being impelled forward by several thin, spiky back legs. None of its back limbs looked particularly sturdy, though - at least, not in comparison to the weight they had to support. Plus, weren't the joints of most arthropods exposed underneath their outward shells? She distinctly remembered pulling some cooked crab legs out of their sockets without much difficulty when she'd gone to a seafood restaurant...

[color=#A641C8]"I... I think I have an idea! Try to keep it busy!"[/color] She called out to the others, before bracing herself against her right leg, feeling the power within it surging up to the level it had been at before. As the Negari drew closer, she leaped, trying to angle herself to the side as much as possible.

A blast of purple light formed under her foot, and she rocketed to the side of the approaching creature, flipping completely head-over-heels in mid air. Crap, she'd used way too much energy! She was pretty sure she'd crash through a building at any second now! She had to jump again! Bracing herself on thin air, she leaped with whatever power she could charge, immediately halting and reversing her previous momentum sending her shooting straight back towards... Towards...

...She hit the ground running, landing only a few feet away from the Negari. Its back set of eyes immediately refocused, staring straight at her. She gulped, seeing a long, bladed leg rising directly up to intercept her. Frantically raising her right hand, she did the first thing that came to mind. The mental image of a crab's leg being tugged from its body blinked back into her mind.

A symbol of a violet palm formed in front of her, and all at once, the air around her suddenly came rushing inward. She ducked, and one of the Negari's legs came flying right past her head, only narrowly missing decapitating her. But, even if it was stretched upward, she hadn't quite managed to knock it out of its socket... She just needed a little more force!

...She raised her left hand, pointing her palm upward as her eyes caught a glimpse of a slightly different hue of black in the joint between the Negari's hard shell and its rock-like leg. Another purple sigil appeared, and then-

An explosion of force ripped outward from her, slamming into the joint. There was a sickening, fleshy squelch, and the Negari's limb tore partially from its body, snapping back around and slamming into its own back before flopping back down, hanging by a tendril of something that looked somewhere between blood and flesh, a nondescript and disgusting black ooze that trailed behind it as it staggered. It howled and swept out one of its front claws, forcing Kyōka to hastily jump back to avoid being splattered herself. She resisted the urge to vomit at the disgusting spectacle she'd created, while the Negari stumbled for a moment before re-balancing itself on its remaining limbs.

[color=#AC1947]"Nicely done! A little more like that, and we might be able to bring it down!"[/color] Ariel cheered encouragingly in her ear, but Kyōka was too busy trying to come to terms with the fact that she'd just done something incredibly stupid.

[color=#A641C8]"That... That thing almost pasted me! Why did I think that was a good idea? I think I'm gonna be sick... Even if it worked, that was still so gross!"[/color] She squeaked.
