Elroy's attention was snatched away by the discharge of energy from Penny's cannon. There were three buildings side by side, and Penny was able to correctly guess which one Regina was positioned on. Everyone could hear the sound of a high powered rifle firing, but there was no indication that it hit anything. The incubus watched in horror as the roof top exploded. He was powerless to do more than watch what was left of the roof rain down in debris. What remained of the tar roof was covered in a cloud of dust, leaves, and whatever lingering energy remained after Penny's attack. Elroy groaned, eager to see what remained after the attack. But it would not please him. The cannon had cleared away a good portion of the roof, as well as part of the top floor. But Regina's body wasn't visible. “Heh...” His voice trembled when he spoke. “I guess this-” Elroy inhaled sharply. “This is why-” He inhaled again. “Y-you don't-” but Elroy was unable to form complete sentences at this point. He didn't react when Alicia started to shout at Penny. It was like she wasn't even there. If Alicia wasn't so flustered, she might have noticed Elroy's eyes change in color. The incubus turned completely around and looked at Penny. There were rivers of tears running down his cheeks. But the monster girl wouldn't have much time to take in the sight. Elroy let out a howl of anger, and his aura of power grew more intense. The red mist swirled around Elroy's body, covering him in an intense red glow. What remained once the light seperated from him could only be described as a massive red ape with horns. Ivory colored spikes jetted out of his back, along with the longest links of chain either girl had ever seen. Alicia was no longer dealing with a monster girl and a monster boy, but a monster girl and a young monster. Elroy's chains wrapped completely around the building and locked around each other. The outer walls howled and immediately gave way to Elroy' crushing power. But the metal beams rooted into the concrete floor were presenting a little more resistance. The exit penny had created for herself was blocked by the monster's body. Elroy's shield had been absorbed into himself, and the red ape before her now sported a pair of bladed bracers. Even with the garage struggling to collapse on itself, Elroy was still fighting to get closer to Penny, struggling against the chains wrapped around the building. The structure had been compromised. It wouldn't last much longer under this level of strain. [hr] Mmmm, noodles with a touch of soy sauce and chicken. Regina didn't eat Chinese enough to know what it was called, but it was delicious. Definitely one of her favorites. She would have to make sure to save a bite for Elroy. Regina folded the take out box closed and put it back in the plastic bag. Who would have thought that Penny would have aimed for a target she couldn't even see over one that was right in front of her? Or maybe she could see Regina after all? After the vampire incident, Regina knew she was never truly invisible. Thankfully, the attack was far enough away that she could anticipate it. She just had to become incorporeal long enough for the shock wave to pass by her. Regina's fall into the hole left behind was a little less than graceful, but she was better covered this way. Though her greatest triumph during the whole attack was managing to shoot a psychic bullet at Elroy. With it, she was able to make him think that she was dead. Regina was sure Elroy would have come running back to the building to check and make sure she was alright, just like he did during the fake monster attack a bit ago. But with that bullet, Regina was able to ensure Elroy would turn into a monster and attack that woman on her behalf. Maybe it was mean and more than a little unfair to Elroy. But he had been getting disobedient lately. This would be a good lesson for him, and also net Regina a little revenge as well. She would very much enjoy whatever he did to that robot girl, and that look on Alicia's face was just delicious. Though not quite as good as that food she was sampling a few seconds ago. Maybe this was a bad idea, maybe it was just the monster part of her mind talking, but she felt very much in control. Regina was content that those who defied her would get their just deserts. The real question was what to do now. With Elroy so blinded by rage, he likely wouldn't even notice Regina was still alive, assisting with the fight. So she could safely fight without causing Elroy to revert back. But did everyone else think she was dead? The succubus still had five mortars of dark energy floating behind her, a sniper staff with nigh-unlimited bullets, and enough Chinese food to satisfy two people. All cloaked of course. With so many options open to Regina it was difficult to decide what to do next. She rested her sniper staff on the edge of a broken wall and observed the fight.

Penny's attack wouldn't have landed anywhere near Regina, but again, Tonya had manipulated events to cause the monster boy to turn into a monster [i]man[/i]. Sure, the shittyness that was pretending you were dead to your brother was all on Regina, but Penny had no way of knowing where Regina was, and so it was by Tonya's magic that the gauss shot was able to land true. Instant metamorphosis, and they were none the wiser of Regina's location. Now she just had to wait for the rest of the crew to show up. From a spot that wasn't going to come under fire. That was pretty hard in this fight.
