This talk of true justice and forecoming was sickening and it only served to tick her off even more. [b][color=springgreen]"Justice eh? You're talking about things that are way over your head you brat,"[/color][/b] the Detention Club President said. Just as fast as her light opponent, Wire reacted. An arm shot out to take the brunt of Getsuga's sword swing, blood scattering to the snow and staining it red as the blade was held by Wire's wrist. Her second hand caught the Magical Girl's boot, holding both in place. If Wire was concerned about the blade in her wrist, she didn't show it. [b][color=springgreen]"Slick moves. But you know, they're not as reformed as your sister's."[/color][/b] With strength only granted by the darkness, Red Wire tossed aside her foe and in the direction of a tree. [color=palegoldenrod]"My what?"[/color] Luna said surprised after her foe's casual remark. The words that came out of the dark girl were enough to throw her attention away from the fight, opening up a window that was easily exploited by the other girl. [color=palegoldenrod]"Gah!"[/color] she cried after hitting the tree, feeling like she had really broke something badly this time, if not worse, considering how her knees felt like they were made out of jelly making the simple idea of standing up far harder than she thought. [color=palegoldenrod]"Why do you know anything about that?"[/color] Luna said as she put all of her strength to get back to her feet, using one of her swords as a crutch. [color=palegoldenrod]"Also, why are you so stubborn? You guys are the ones that deviated from path of Justice, don't try to make it like I'm the fool here,"[/color] she added, pointing a blade towards her foe as she regained her composure. [color=springgreen]"I dunno, you look pretty stupid to me. Which one of us is on her knees, licking her wounds like a beaten dog?"[/color] As Wire said this, she casually swiped her tongue over the nasty cut Getsuga's blade left on her wrist. [b][color=springgreen]"Well, irony aside. You're not very bright if you didn't think I was in the know with your sister. Or maybe you're as brainless as they come, Lu. Na~"[/color][/b] Wire shirked her lips into a crude smile, shark-like teeth glinting so dangerously in this moonlit night. [b][color=springgreen]"We pray for our sorrows to end; and hope for our hearts to blend. We're Magical Girls, and we protect you from the Darkness....was that how it went? It sounds even emptier when I say it out loud. Sheesh..."[/color][/b] Red Wire held out her hand, only for thin strands of wire to snake out of the open wound Getsuga had created on her wrist. Some went for the girl's arms, sharply cutting into her form as they coiled around, snapping off to act like rope. Others clung onto Getsuga's throat, still attached to Wire's wrist. All of this happened in a fraction of a moment, Wire leaping up to the tree behind Getsuga. From there she flipped through the branches before landing on the other side, yanking on her fishing line. The result was to be expected, Getsuga hung up by the wired noose, arms useless and legs kicking out. [b][color=springgreen]"We're stubborn because we can be. We're Dark Magical Girls; we don't need a reason to do the things we do. Only that what we do, is absolute."[/color][/b] [color=palegoldenrod]"Ghhh!"[/color] Luna groaned as Touka continued attacking while she could barely move. [color=palegoldenrod]"Y-you are not going to convince me of anything with those words,"[/color] she said, with conviction, or perhaps defiance, shining in her eyes. [color=palegoldenrod]"Call me as stupid as with want but-gah!"[/color] she tried to continue before being summarily interrupted by the hanging attempt, feeling not only the asphyxiating effects but also, the jarring motion almost finishing the job begun by the impact against the tree and breaking her back for good. Before that could happen, Luna summoned her phantom swords in a momentary fit of panic, shooting several ones all over the place before a blade managed to land a good hit against the wires, severing them and sending her rolling thought the snowy ground. [color=palegoldenrod]"Gaha! I-I don't care for your powers, I'm doing this because... I'm doing this because my sister told me that there was something worth protecting. I'll do that and I'll also find a way to bring her back. You are not going to change my mind, no matter what,"[/color] she tried to yell as loud as she could, despite the damage to her throat making her voice come out as little more than a whimper. Feeling her wires snap taut was an indication of what just happened. And sure enough, Getsuga was free once more. Whatever smirk Wire wore on her face slowly deformed into a piercing frown, one that burned with the urge to pummel her opponent's face in. But she didn't. [b][color=springgreen]"Funny. Your sister told me the same thing."[/color][/b] Red Wire turned her face away from Getsuga, up towards the dark night sky of Miso City. The snow was starting to fall more heavily now and it was only a short amount of time before they would all realize the chilling cold; right after their adrenaline died down. But apart from that, there was another icy layer resonating in the air. [b][color=springgreen]"I know you can feel it too. More dark girls arriving. More girls just like me,"[/color][/b] Wire said, turning to Getsuga. She was smirking once again. [b][color=springgreen]"Why don't we call it a night. You're clearly outnumbered and I think we've just proved who's the better fighter between us. I'm willing to turn a blind eye since I got the satisfaction of beating you."[/color][/b] A pause of silence passed as Wire glanced down at her hand. [b][color=springgreen]"Oh, no hard feelings about your throat. We've got a no killing rule you know, so it wasn't like I was gonna murder you in cold blood. Well, even if I wanted too....but I'm sure you know that from your sister, right?"[/color][/b] A glance at Getsuga, Wire's inhuman teeth punctuated into a feral smile. [b][color=springgreen]"Call your girls off and I'll do the same."[/color][/b] [color=palegoldenrod]"I-"[/color] Luna was about to retaliate to Touka when she paused for a moment. She certainly could feel their presence now. When did this many Dark Magical Girls appear on Miso City? Something was wrong there but the fact that Luna couldn't simply risk the lives of the others to remain around and keep fighting was obvious. They had their fill for tonight, backing out while they could was the wisest move, clearly. [color=palegoldenrod]"I'll do what you are saying, but don't think that this ended here. I'll have you tell me everything that you know the next time that I see you,"[/color] Luna said as shegot back to her feet and staggered back to the lakeside where most of the fighting was taking place. [color=palegoldenrod]"Let's fall back for tonight. There's no need to keep fighting them after we delivered our message,"[/color] she said as she caught up with Yui and especially Soma, though even Luna would have a hard time breaking the mess created by her. [color=palegoldenrod]"We have done enough for tonight,"[/color] she added as she retreated with the others. Red Wire was close behind, though on the opposite side of the forest where most of the dark girls resided. [b][color=springgreen]"You heard the lady. They're tuckered out for the night~"[/color][/b] She hung from a tree branch, crouching along its length and overlooking the skirmish. [b][color=springgreen]"I must admit, I didn't expect a brawl to break out. But I'm happy it did."[/color][/b] Her eyes scanned the available dark girls, picking out the ones she wanted. [b][color=springgreen]"Battoru, find our partners. Fantasia, locate any stragglers."[/color][/b] Then her gaze snapped to the girl who had bullied Gaia. [b][color=springgreen]"Black Shot, scout the area and report back to me. Everyone else, we'll talk about who actually won tomorrow. You're all dismissed for the night."[/color][/b] And like a phantom, the President leapt off into the night, the cold ever creeping on all their hearts.
