Shade had been right behind Scout and Ananya as they approached the scene. A battle was taking place and things were starting to get [s]CUHRAYZEE[/s] chaotic, but at that moment Sil was focused on locating her VIP. Thankfully, this did not take long at all, as Sue seemed to be quite proactive during this fight. Wasting no time, the assassin/idol pulled ahead of the two she'd arrived with and was going to attempt to assist the ex-familiar when suddenly everything had gone silent. 

Sue herself was the cause of this sudden silence, but more importantly, Shade was able to see that there was more to this than a loss of hearing. No, she and everybody and everything caught in this spell were about to be forcibly relocated someplace else. For Sil, there wasn't much hesitation because she was obligated to protect the girl. Though that's not to say she didn't have second thoughts as soon as she found herself freefalling, along with everybody else.

Stepping foot into this realm was perhaps one of the more stress-inducing things she'd ever done. Many people could go their whole lives without disguising themself as a cute idol who punches monsters. Even more probably don't need to hold back a black-coin-induced alter ego who has a very suggestive liking to blood and violence. And really, how many people are going to actually get the chance to play the Bayonetta tutorial level in real life? All of these things are stressors [s]like seriously being an idol is tought work[/s], and they've all happened in succession to the innocent DMG. Perhaps Sil'd ask for some time off so that she could maybe rethink her approach to paying off this damned debt she owed. There was no point if she wound up dying from a heart attack induced by stress. 

If that could ever happen to a magical girl like her? Who knew. 

For now, however, she and everybody attempting to beat Justine would probably benefit more from her figuring out how not to die during all of this. Short-term goals are important too, after all. Thinking quickly, she felt that it would perhaps be best to place the part of the room that had followed them in Stasis. Landing in the water below would put them into a very disadvantageous position, and generally people enjoyed having a floor to stand on. All she had to do was reach out and touch it, but her efforts were delayed by the sudden attack by Justine. Being airborn, evading the attack was going to prove quite difficult, but through precise and skillful stasis on her blade, she could manipulate herself out of the way and hopefully not be hit. 

Well, that was what was supposed to happen. 

[Color=lightblue]"Wait, what is she-? Oh SHIT!!!"[/color]

Sil suddeny felt something grab her person, stopping her attempt. Thankfully it was Scout and not one of the people attempting to kill her, but it still wasn't something she consented to, even if it did pull her out of the way of the attack. [color=red]"...Ah, s-stop...!"[/color] it would be impractical to explain what she was trying to do while they were all falling, but Shade really needed her to let go. She could appreciate the save, but it was actually counterproductive right now. [color=red]"Let me go...!"[/color] 

[Color=lightblue]"That's it, I'm beating a bitch with another bitch!"[/color] 

Silhouette was experienced enough with danger than in dire times her body would unconsciously react and warn her of impeding danger. She'd get goosebumps and her heart would begin to pump quickly, she'd enter a heightened awareness. Her instinct had saved her life countless times in the past, and was a valuable tool in preventing bad things from happening to her. And while this was useful, the problem was that this very same instinct was kicking in right now. Needless to say, Sil had a very bad feeling about this. Yet there was nothing she could do but be made into a human missle of sorts. When she was launched, there were many things running through her head. A lot of them were unpleasant, negative thoughts about the girl who'd thrown her, but shortly after takeoff she'd resigned herself to her fate and decided to play a convincing missle and readied ChronoRend to attempt to land an empowered attack on Justine.
