She wasn't sure if the ship had the structural integrity to survive a crash landing, but was glad to know that wasn't the case. She was about to ask the others how they were doing when she was left speechless as she saw the world of magic that unfolded before her eyes. [color=9e0039][b][u]”Whoah...Looks ominous.”[/u][/b][/color] She then turned to take a look around the ship, and noticed Makoto on the deck. [color=9e0039][b][u]”Hey, you're the girl who made the fancy jump! What do you want?”[/u][/b][/color] She asked, and took a battle-ready stance, her fists clenched. [hr] Libby Bibby played golf with her hammer a fair bit distance from the ship, and launched a ball far into the distance, seemingly ignoring the looks she got from the others. Still, even with her careless attitude, it seemed she was not entirely oblivious, as she bounced right toward Silhouette's direction. Despite the assassin's exceptional ability for stealth, it became clear to Silhouette that Libby was able to detect her, as she gave the lurking girl in the darkness a quick giggle and wink before skipping her way back to the ship. When their gazes met, only the Dark Magical Girl hidden in the shadows could see that for the briefest moment, as if she simply imagined it, the pupils of her eyes turned to vertical slits. She twirled her way to Eli and Alicia, and clasped her hands behind her back as she leaned over to look at Eli. She giggled while looking at the slime harpy with glee. "Snap trap? That slaps my lap like a clap flap! You're funny! Libby Bibby likes Ellie!" She suddenly yawned, opening her mouth wide. "I'll have a nap!" And just like that, she dropped to the deck's floor in a cartoony fashion, and began snoring loudly with her eyes closed, making a snot bubble. Helga shook her head at Libby's ridiculous behavior, and sighed as she glanced at Eli and Mariette. "Well, about that..." She rested her clawed hands on one of the ship's railings; she had a pained expression plastered on her face. "Justine didn't speak much of it, but there was a reason she kidnapped Magical Girls; she wanted their blood to use in a ritual that makes the world, uh, 'pure'. I never understood what it meant, but I guess it would involve her summoning my former Patron...Father. We can't let that happen." She nodded at Suwako's words, and gripped the railing as Earth Bastion began moving. Then, the crystal gates to the Overcity opened, and a winged Magical Girl, Olesya, walked outside. She would see the strange vehicle ridden by the girls, and even stranger crew spread on and around it, including a few monster girls. However, before Amber had a chance to steer the vehicle in the lamp's direction, it began shining brightly; Mariette recognized the image of a flaming eye projecting from the crystal, until it melted into a pool of viscous red blood. And then, everyone heard distant noises. At first they were indiscernible, until they began resembling demonic roars. "Oh no! They're coming!" Helga shouted, looking frantically at the lamp, and then around them. Makoto was the first to see that from the forests and mountains charged forth elephant-sized monsters of red and black. They numbered ten in total, with gaping voids in place of faces and spiked tails flailing behind their lumbering forms as the quadruped beasts bounded over the checkerboard fields. Olesya would clearly see how these unnatural abominations came running, obviously intending to attack the girls. Mariette would also recognize these creatures as well when they drew near, their terrifying forms illuminated by the light that Sol Invictus had blessed the ship with: [hider=Gorelion][img]http://i.imgur.com/cMzC7Ll.png[/img][/hider]
