	Sue was to run to the turret without injury. Perhaps in a fight between magical girls, a familiar didn't look like an important target to anyone. Sue did not spend a lot of time thinking about it. Sue spent very little time thinking about herself. The thing driving her forward was her desire to save Lily. Deni was enough, she wasn't going to let the Viscerals take Lily too!

	Sue recognized her error from earlier. Clearly the cannon needed to be loaded before it could be fired. Sue had familiarized herself with the turret console on the drive to the castle, so there wouldn't be any screw ups this time. Now in human form, Sue loaded a “beam” round into the barrel. She had no idea what it did, but it sounded right for the situation. Sue then aimed the turret. It made a light hum until the familiar was satisfied with who was lined up in the cross hairs: Doris. 

	[i]“Hussie!”[/i]

	Sue fired, launching a golden beam of energy at her target. It was so bright that Sue wasn't able to tell if her target dodged or not. But with the beam still firing, she pulled back on the stick, causing the turret to swing the beam into the sky, Where it would undoubtedly hit Curie. At least that was what Sue hoped.

	Meanwhile, things continued to get better for Amber. It had been so long since she had been the one to do the ambushing that she almost didn't know how to react. 

	[color=2F4F4F]"Damn..."[/color] Amber could hear Umiko mutter to herself. [color=2F4F4F]"I'm not paid enough for this. Not for the pain and suffering I can inflict on my fellow man, [i]I deserve so much more than what they're giving me.[/i]"[/color]

	The pirate didn't waste any time. She simply raised her weapon and fired a cannonball straight into Umiko's back. “Then consider that payment in full!” Shortly after her quip, the pirate girl fell to one knee and chuckled to herself. Her hands were visibly shaking. 

	[i]“Wherefore doth thou act like mad shamble-lass?”[/i] Boteg's voice echoed in her mind.

	“It's just...” The pirate stood back up. “I think that's the first time I actively tried to kill another magical girl.”

	Well, Amber couldn't take full credit for the hit.

	Tonya had made Umiko's words less sympathetic to paint her as a monster in Amber's eyes. Normally Amber would be much too nice to shoot someone in the back, least of all with a lethal kill shot. But the rest of Amber's team needed to catch up with her , and that would be harder if Umiko could still fire on her allies.

	It pained Tonya to do in a fellow beacon hater, but she had no remorse for those who helped Justine, brainwashed or not. She continued to remain hidden just behind amber, assisting with Alicia's distraction as best she could.
