Yui's stare went from the newcomer to Ayumu. She, too, recognized her after all. [color=a2d39c]"I'm no fai--"[/color] she tried to answer before Ayumu's companion cut her off to add to the injury. In the end, Gaia simply sighed before being brought back to attention by the blond girl addressing her. While still unsure of what exactly she was, Yui felt as if she could trust her to be on her side. 

[color=a2d39c]"Ask anyth--"[/color] again, she was cut off...but this time by a green flash passing by and taking Aegis with them. Yui took a step back instinctively and was about to take flight when she realized that they traveled...far. Not only that, but another aura came to chill the magical girl to her core. The darkness she felt in her dark counterparts - it just hit her ten fold. Her eyes briefly looked over to the present pair, confused; it was not coming from them. Soon, they would all realize what was happening. 

[color=92278f][b]"Although one thing you can expect is that Kiru here must be rather disappointed that her target got away. So shoo fly, before you become her next one. Of course, she does like a chase..."[/b][/color]

Gaia was in no mood to fight them. She was not seeking conflict, after all. Conflict, though, did come to them in the form of Nightmares. Again? As Ayumu moved to slow the coming enemies, Yui flew to the edge of the building to look down, but only grasped how truly dire the situation was when she heard the rising screams of terrors from the streets below and the mass of nightmares all over the city. Even from up here, the desperation was palpable. 

Time froze. Below her, the other Light girls were being targeted by more than just Nightmare. The pair present with her were also 'in danger' - but the city... as he eyes widened, her eyes were shaking from the sheer terror of the realization that was coming to her just now, for the first time; [i]She could not help everyone.[/i]

As the Nightmares finally reached the roof, Yui had made her decision. She quickly rushed to the one closest to them only to pierce it with her sword and follow up with a quick slash upward, taking flight above it and carpeting it with a few bombs before falling back on it and trusting it's sword in it's neck area. Gaia then looked on to Ayumu, a serious look in her eyes [color=a2d39c]"...Helping people."[/color] she jumped back and threw a few more bombs in the direction of the two remaining Nightmares coming their way, simply to slow them down. [color=a2d39c]"Loved ones or not, helping people and giving them the opportunity for happiness. Even at the cost of my own. [i]That's what I choose as my center stage.[/i] Please, I entrust the rest of them to you!"[/color] with that, Yui was off. 

Hugging the wall of the building as she dashed down from it, Gaia extended her arm towards her friends and many roots extended from the streets below them to entangle themselves around Soma's building foundations, trying her best to reinforce the building in view of the coming attack. Having 'fought' what enemy they were now facing, Gaia knew she was nowhere close to top her speed so that was the best she could do to hinder them as much as possible. Her friends...would understand her decision. She trusted in their abilities. 

[color=a2d39c]"Someone has to..."[/color] she convinced herself as she launchd herself at the top of her speed deeper into the streets of Miso City.

Slashing, piercing and exploding what nightmares she found was how Yui progressed into the city. 

Her sword still trusted inside the face of a Nightmare she was standing on, she raised her hand to sprout vines somewhere further to stop the claws of yet another form finding it's mark. Continuing on her movement, she took the sword from her enemy's face as she threw herself backward, throwing more bombs into it's back. 

Panting and sweating heavily, she still planted her sword in the ground and raised both hands to order life around her to raise and protect those around her, encasing them in flower bulbs that should be tough enough to slow down Nightmares. Too slow. [i]Too slow[/i]. Around her, more people died to the merciless nightmares who, thanks to their newfound strength, extorted a greater toll on Yui than she anticipated.

[b][color=a2d39c]"NO!"[/color][/b] she yelled, flying forward to cut down another nightmare - too late. The beast did die, but not before the headless body of a young girl fell to the ground, dropping the yakisoba pan she had been holding. Half eaten. 

[color=a2d39c]"Damnit...Damnit!"[/color] This new loss had to strengthen her resolve. She could not afford to be weak now. Taking flight once more, she scanned the city down below before landing on the corner of a rooftop, looking around when she heard a cry nearby. Her head tilted down only to see a wounded, green haired girl. Which she quickly recognized, having memorized the name from the park. 

[color=a2d39c]"Touka?"[/color] Yui said, as she landed softly in the alleyway below her, standing before the laid down girl, snow raining on both of them. The raging wires cutting the bricks and walls around the Dark girl's club president. Yui's expression was bewilderment before such a sight, her eyes narrowed. Not sure of what to think of...[i]this[/i]?

[color=a2d39c]"W-what...happened to you?"[/color] A question aimed not just at the girl's current state, but also at the deep anger and darkness Yui could feel within them - deeper than most others she felt before.
