[center][h2][color=saddlebrown]Shannon - Into the Chaos[/color][/h2][/center]
[color=yellow]"Normally I'm supposed to be bringing help to you."[/color] the Puchuu grumbled as he traced down the point that had caused quite a ruckus in Penrose. A bunch of magical girls had made a scene big enough for the non-magical beings to take notice. Although they were still quite unsure what had happened. 

[color=saddlebrown]"Maybe. But there are more important things. Rumor about this city was already floating around. Lily calling me in, the Beacon HQ being attacked, and now this. We have to help."[/color] 

Rolling his eyes the Puchuu pointed into an open area on the street. [color=yellow]"Here, the fight is happening in this area in the Overcity."[/color] Crossing his tiny arms and floating over Shannon he shook his head. [color=yellow]"Your "sister" is so much easier to work with. You're too nice with your Friendship power."[/color]

The girl only smiled and twirled her umbrella. [color=saddlebrown]"Well I guess that's your fault for picking me first huh?"[/color] Raping the end of the folded umbrella against the pavement she transformed into her magical girl form. Her appearance was nothing spectacular aside from being unusual for the region. The stone staff she held tapped against the road again and she disappeared.

[hr]
Having been a well traveled magical girl for a a while now, transporting into the Overcity was a normal thing for her. But popping into a war zone was not what usually greeted her. The stationary Earth Bastion was the first thing she spotted. Judging by what she'd heard that had to be the thing that started the police and citizens of Penrose. There was fighting going on all around. Shadows, portals, blood, ice, utter chaos... The oppressive magic of the magical girls under Father was one thing that could be made out fairly quickly. It was somewhat difficult to tell what side everyone else was on until they attacked someone. 

Having made something of a surprise entrance into the unknown Shannon put her staff to the ground to get the lay of the land. The castle was obvious and the seismic pulse gave her a layout of tunnels beneath. There were people down there as well but no telling who was who.

[color=saddlebrown]"Well, better late than never."[/color] Advancing she raised her voice. [color=saddlebrown]"Looks like you could use a little help!"[/color]

Given that this would likely be her best chance before she was noticed, the Earth specialist temporarily poured some of her vitality into her magic. Thrusting the staff forward the ground shook. Like a wave the ground in front of her moved toward the frozen lake. It appeared that some of it had been broken up but the Earth Bastion was still largely trapped. When the swell met the shore though the upheaval transferred into the lake. Stressed by the shock wave the ice, thick though it may be, buckled and began breaking up as the wave progressed across the lake.

[color=saddlebrown]"That's one way to break the ice."[/color] Expecting retaliation from somewhere she stayed on the ground for now.
