For the first time in the history of Penrose, a record number of Mahou of diverse Patrons and beliefs have come together for a single purpose and objective. It was the kind of unity Victoria Reales fought for, and was killed by Justine for trying to achieve. But in doing so, has only created a far more powerful bond between the brave magical girls and boys. Granted, it was no official bond, merely a rag-tag bunch consisting from kidnappers to cyborgs among stranger things. But they knew they had to stop Justine von Visceral; they would fight to protect their world.

The symbol of this unlikely alliance was Shining Scale's Sky Bastion. Unfortunately, it had been damaged, grounded by saboteurs. Even worse, the commotion had drawn a crowd of civilians, confused and seeking answers. Helga approached the crowd. "We're filming for a new movie! Don't disturb the set!" She lied, and shooed away the people. She knew it wouldn't cause them to leave, but at least they had a cover for what they were doing. Penny and Anaya set to work in repairing and modifying the pirate ship; together with Penny's supplies and Anaya's force of spirits toiling away on the ship, it slowly transformed, morphed into a marvel of military engineering by Laat'AlOfan's vast knowledge of destruction passingly imparted to the builders.

Meanwhile, Sue and Eli, using Mariette's portals, traversed the city, looking for magical girls they could recruit to their cause.
As was expected, only a few were left in the city; the others had run away due to the confirmed rumors of kidnappings, deadly monsters and a very high number of violent magical girls causing havoc. The rest were unwilling, too afraid to risk their lives on a goose hunt to the infamous Overcity.
There was one Puchuu girl who refused, claiming she was the last one out of a group that decided not to risk it and left, and promptly fled the scene. Another one also refused, rather staying to pray to her Patron, which was apparently a Horror, to grant her eyes on the inside.
But the third [url=https://i.imgur.com/onLNTF4.jpg]girl[/url], who called herself Libby Bibby, turned out to be willing to join. "Okie-dokie Smoky Loki! I'll bwok e'm and wok em and srap e'm and fwap e'm and..." The two weren't sure if she had some kind of disorder, but she at least showed she was capable of fighting when she summoned a big hammer and caused colorful balls to appear, causing a wall to be destroyed on impact as she continued rambling. "...And pop e'm and blop e'm and flick e'm and nick e'm and..."

When the work on Sky Bastion was finally done, it had turned into a mighty dreadnought, with metal plating, treads at the bottom, and weapons such as cannons mounted at the sides. Though unable to fly, it could carry an expedition into the most dangerous, inhospitable lands or seas. The Sky Bastion had also been given numerous Blessings of Fortitude by Alexander Shields' meticulous prayers to Sol Invictus, the Cleansing Sun. Now, it was a mobile shrine of justice and righteousness, nigh indestructible to mundane or magical forces while also granting sanctuary and respite to those who take shelter in it, healing away minor wounds. It now also shone like a lantern, and banished darkness away from the front like the fog lights of a modern ship, granting visibility in the harshest of storms. With two Deities backing the single vessel, it was akin to Noah's Ark, a joining between the mortal and divine to fulfill a holy quest. However, the Mahou did not have much time to celebrate, as police cars and fire trucks arrived on scene, and police officers shouted at them while pointing with their pistols. "Drop your weapons! Hands in the air!"
