[h3][center][color=a2d39c]Yui[/color], [color=00aeef]Tama[/color], [color=c4df9b]Yurei [/color]& [color=fff79a]Soma[/color][/center][/h3] Yui briefly nodded at Tama before executing herself. After deploying her fairy-like wings, she rose high into the air. From the palm of her hand, she summoned a very large Rose-shaped flower bomb that she then threw with force upon Tama's crystal shield. The results were instant; the bomb exploded, but Tama's magic acted upon it and redirected the full force of the blast towards the advancing Nightmares, spreading petals along it's way. Despite the tactic's initial success, however, some of them seemed to have been able to either jump aside, or tank the blow. Now, they threatened to counter attack... [u][i]Some time Earlier...[/i][/u] The morning started out less than favorable being woken up by the sound of her sister Eve slaughtering Nightmares and chasing them out into the street with her friend hot on her heels behind her. The most annoying part didn’t start until her house received even more visitors trying to claw their way into her room, completely upon reflex, she summoned her weapon de-activating the summon on the house slaughtering every nightmare in the vicinity. Soma stood there irritated hair a complete mess as she slowly ascended to her fully transformed state something she hasn’t done since moving into Miso city. Soma began a crusade of her own, determined to end this now before going back to sleep where she belonged. It was some time before she found the other girls “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again the nightmares in this city are entirely too numerous!” she yelled spinning her pole arm around her neck slicing off two heads. Yui smiled. [i]Soma[/i]. However there were more Nightmares coming their way. So many...was Luna [i]that[/i] important to Miso City...? And now, she was gone... Yui's grip on her sword hardened as she spoke up, looking straight ahead. [color=a2d39c]"Girls, I think I have a plan to finish this as quickly as possible. Tama, you and me can shepherd them and try to group them up. Once that is done, Soma! You can create a shield around them to trap as much as possible, right? Once that is done, you shattering your shields should get rid of most of them, then Yurei can support and purify the rest while me and Tama get on the stragglers. What says you...Together?" [/color] [color=darkturquoise]"Aren't they just,"[/color] Tama replied as a fully transformed Soma entered the fray. Here they were, a team of four, fighting in unison. At Yui's suggestion, Tama gave a nod, punching through a straying Nightmare. [color=darkturquoise]"Sounds like a plan."[/color] This time, she made her armour break away and fade of her own volition, using the increased mobility to round up straggling enemies. Any that made a bid for escape, her stone shards and Yui's overhead flower bombs made quick work of. [color=darkturquoise]"Now, Yui!"[/color] [center][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KxqGWzDAlY[/youtube][/center] Tama called, crouching and spreading her wings wide. The gems fused, creating two platforms. [color=darkturquoise]"Climb on!"[/color] As Yui's feet touched the dual surfaces, Tama leapt to a standing position, thrusting her wings upwards and launching her ally high above the rest of the group. The gemstone structures split into their normal jagged forms, swept forward and unleashed another Crystalline Hail at the morass of monsters. Ascending fast into the air, Yui deployed her wings once more at the top of her ascending speed, then dropped back down in a free dive, gaining immense acceleration from the high altitude Tama provided her; which she used the circle around the Nightmares gathered in the empty square in order to get them centered in the same general area. Tama could take care of the stragglers. [color=a2d39c]"Soma! Yurei! You're on!"[/color] Soma’s skill with her weapon was like poetry in motion, able to twist and turn the pole around her body with no effort, grabbing the end of the pole arm and thrusting the spear several times in front of her landing a near perfect single kill shot on every target all with the same face that looked like she had just smelled goat shit; Soma was not having a pleasant day. Once a good number of the nightmares themselves were clustered together, she erected a small bubble around herself, then created many spiral shaped shields around her that expanded out piercing each one through the stomach or head. The spirals continued to build upon themselves and like the roots of a tree, creating a hanging tapestry of death out of shields, now that Soma was fully transformed her creations could be more creative as she had the entirety of her mana supply now instead of half. Yurei, not one to wield any fancy weapons, watched carefully as her teammates safely executed the Nightmares that plagued the streets. Satisfied that they were in no real danger, for the time being anyway, she reassured herself with a slight smile. Focusing her gaze at the remaining Nightmares as she charged forth. Finger brimming with magic as she graced each and every beast with her touch; careful not to take any meaningful damage. One by one, the Nightmares in her path began dissolving; cleansed of their negative composition as she continued to run through them. Any and all rebuttal the monsters had to her actions swept away as she healed off anything they tried to lay onto her. [hr] [center][img]https://image.ibb.co/iZ6jLL/Yui-Tamashii-Banner1-2.png[/img][/center] After a quick cleanup of stragglers and escapees, Yui finally landed close to Soma, looking over at Yurei cleaning what Nightmares remained in this area. The number of nightmares had just been increasing, but to see such a group in one place was something else. [color=a2d39c]"Good works, girls."[/color] Yui said, looking around the empty square [color=a2d39c]"I think we did fine work together."[/color] Although, on the back of her mind there had been something that was troubling - and the others probably felt it, too. Yui waited for Tama to be close by before going on. [color=a2d39c]"You guys felt it too?"[/color] Some time earlier, she had felt a surge of [i]something[/i], [i]somewhere[/i] in the city that reminded her of the fights they had with the other Magical Girls some days ago. By focusing, Yui could feel that some of them were gathered at one spot just as they probably could tell that she and the other Light Magical Girls were gathered here. The troubling thing was not this, but the fact that they were close by the surge of energy she felt some time ago. [color=a2d39c]"Something is brewing...I don't know what exactly, but if the dark ones from before are involved..."[/color] Yui saw them as the same as herself - magical girls bound to destroy Nightmares. She didn't know why they turned out the way they did, just that it was not 'right'. She deployed her wings. [color=a2d39c]"...I'll go on ahead and check things out !"[/color] And with this, she took flight. Yui hated to leave them behind, but it was necessary. Or so she told herself. Luna's loss may have wounded her more than she realized, causing her to push forward with less caution that she might have had otherwise...seeking out the answers to her 'why' and, most important of all, 'who' questions. It didn't take long for the fairy-like Magical Girl to find what she was looking for. A quick glance at the scene revealed two dark ones, of which she recognized only one, and one other whom seemed to be...a Light Magical girl? and if that was the case... ...Yui landed some distance behind the blonde girl, atop of the roof door's small cabin [color=a2d39c]"These ones are tied to the dark...!"[/color] she simply said as presentation, looking mostly at the one whom she had met before. Although Yui did not know who the blonde girl was, she was determined to repay Luna by offering the same help and trust Yui was offered when she first met her friends. [color=a2d39c]"My name is Gaia."[/color]
