Straining with every fiber in her ribbons, Shiina did her best to restrain the Negari's claw, holding the massive monstrosity still for the others to act. The Negari hadn't broken out of her restraint yet, but Shiina believed that was due to the third ribbon flailing madly inside of the beast. While this level of brutality would cause any normal creature on earth to almost immediately keel over and die, it only provided a mild pain and big distraction to the Negari. Shiina's prayers for assistance were answered quickly, however, as the woman with white hair, The Ripper, began to run up to the behemoth, far faster than Shiina could... But it was too slow! The Negari's claw, one of the smaller one's she hadn't restrained, was flying straight towards her! Shiina was seconds away from trying to swat the claw off course, but before she could, a blur of silver and white appeared where The Ripper was running, jumping over the claw so fast that Shiina could barely see it. As the Ripper did so, she ran up the Negari's torso, a line of black starry liquid following her. She then kicked off of the beast, as the same claw that tried to crush her barely a few seconds ago immediately slammed into it's chest, cracking the exoskeleton with ease and spraying the liquid in almost every direction. The cry that the Negari released was quickly followed by the girl's own voice "It's weakest along that line!" Shiina nearly quivered as she saw the display of skill and precision, but she was busy holding back the Negari - it was violently flailing, and seemed in extreme pain because of the claw that had struck it's chest. It was at this moment, Shiina heard another exclamation, calling out shortly after The Ripper finished speaking. [color=A641C8]"Umm, Pink-senpai, please keep holding it in place! I'm going to try to take out more of its legs!"[/color] Shiina nearly turned to look at Aegis as she said this, but a particularly violent spasm from the Negari quickly regained her attention. Whatever Aegis' plan was, she would have to just have to prey that her only part in it was holding down this monster... Just as the thought finished crossing her mind, however, a large fragment of what appeared to be concrete slammed into the Negari's skull, coating the pavement and a couple of the Negari's eyes in black liquid. As the fragment shot by, embedding itself in the monster's cranium, a strange symbol appeared next to the leg that was previously damaged, which immediately broke off of the small string of tendons and flesh and flew out of Shiina's view. As it did so, Shiina pulled her ribbon out of the leg hole, noticing the Negari's newfound instability and fearing it was going to fall on top of the cloth. Aegis flew across Shiina's vision, and it took everything in her power to keep the restrained claw from reaching her. Thankfully, with the third ribbon free of it's leg confinement, it quickly joined it's comrades in restraining the claw, making the task significantly easier. Aegis seemed to slide in between the Negari's legs and do a cool spin kick, and while the kick pushed her to safety, the duck underneath the legs seemed to be pointless. That was until, Aegis said something Shiina couldn't here over the sound of concrete being smashed thanks to the Negari's leg crashing down. The fragment in the Negari's skull came back with a vengeance, slamming through the beasts torso and into the back of it's leg joint, with a cascade of starry liquid escaping out of it's body, and in it's confused and pained rage, Shiina couldn't hear Aegis call out, only barely seeing Midori run forwards, running straight for the crablike monster. The massive amount of mana spent left the next few moments hazy, but Shiina could see a bright flash of light, jolting her back to her senses. She was gripping to hard and using to much mana - The claw on the Negari had hundreds of cracks, and it probably only took slightly more pressure to break it... Not that it was needed, as the creature had just stopped moving. [color=f49ac2]"Holy Crap... THAT WAS AWESOME GUYS!"[/color] Shiina immediately pumped her arms into the air, before flashing a V-sign and winking, the three ribbons snaking their way into the head wound that the concrete fragment had created. [color=aba000]"I guess you could call that performance Crab-tivating. Haha...ha"[/color] The ribbons had wormed inside and around the Negari's skull, and Shiina quickly pushed the ribbons outwards, rupturing the Negari's head from the inside and coating her ribbons in black liquid. Shiina was careful to make sure that her ribbons encased the skull, in order to not accidentally coat her new friends in starry Negari fluids. Absentmindedly cleaning her ribbons against the ground, Shiina spoke out again, directing her voice towards Aegis. [color=f49ac2]"Seriously though, that was great technique. Little risky for my taste, but you did amazing for someone who just got their powers!"[/color] Noticing the disgusted look on her face, Shiina looked over to the mess that she had made of the Negari's head, before waving her hand dismissively. [color=f49ac2]"Oh, and don't worry about that. It looks pretty brutal, but you can never be sure when these things are dead. By the way, Midori-chan, you seriously pack a punch! I could barely see it, but you made a huge hole in this thing and it smells like burned garbage."[/color] The hole was very large, or at least far larger than Shiina could make one her own. Maybe carrying a weapon would be beneficial... Looking in the corner of her eye, Shiina saw The Ripper, and seized up slightly. [color=f49ac2]"Y-you were awesome to, Ripper-sama. I can't believe you're here... I would ask for an autograph, but my dress doesn't have any pockets..."[/color] While Shiina was being a fangirl over the white-haired magical girl, Ogata was taking the mana shock slightly harder than Shiina. She was still slightly woozy, and that combined with funneling most of her power into Shiina's magical girl form left her completely oblivious to the ominous presence rapidly approaching.
