The icy magical girl blinked owlishly at her phone, as within moments of her text being sent did a ballistic missile strike the rooftop and carry off the very threat she'd messaged about. Kanbaru full well there wasn't anything psychic in Touka's head full of wires, but sometimes coincidence just smacked you in the face and left one stunned. 

Ponderously rousing herself she pocketed the phone and settled herself back into the seat of her motorcycle, finding no reason to scale the building to chastise Kiru-Kiru and company when the Angel was already sent flying away. A smirk played out beneath her mask as she envisioned Touka's full fury set loose once more, and a shiver tore down her spine as it prickled recollection. [color=aqua]"If only that were the worst of it."[/color]

The smirk fell, and with it her gaze drew to the streets and a sudden flare of Darkness to match the Angel's horrid radiance. Instantly she knew what it would entail, and sans a Touka-shaped-missile there was little to be done that would amount to much. Kanbaru was confidant in her skills, but between the sudden emergence of an Angel [i]and[/i] a Demon, she was liable to wind up a corpse then a hero if she went off half-cocked.

Caught amidst indecision, she waited on the rooftops as two battles played out across the city. Between the Demon and unknown Magical Girls, and Touka's own duel with the Angel. Kanbaru focused upon the warring magics, and wasn't surprised to feel the Demon finish first. The sudden absence of a Light Girl presence made her consider another murder took place, were it not for the feeling of newly kindled darkness in its place.

Perhaps that was just her being confused by the surge of newly empowered Nightmare's, running wild through the streets. The sights and sounds from below were alarming enough to move her into action and Kanbaru grasped the throttle intent to get into the thick of things, were it not for a scream that resonated across distance and magic.

[color=cyan]"Touka!"[/color] She cried out in turn, and without thinking, shot off the roof and drove as the crow flies upon a hastily formed tunnel of ice. Uncaring of its eventual thaw, she shot off at high speed and left the Nightmare's to her feast. Dimly she was aware of Chie and her madness at work, no doubt making the situation hellish for the Light girls without a thought for their mutual prey, but there wasn't a moment to spare.

A sharp turn and a moment to angle down to street level brought her to a dust choked alley near a now leveled construction site- Dear god this was a trend in her partners now- brought Fortuna to a sadly familiar sight...and one startling for its proximity to the former.

[color=cyan]"Oi, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"[/color] Kanbaru growled, grasping Yui by the shoulder and throwing her roughly backwards into a wall before a flailing wire struck the ground she stood upon. [color=cyan]"Getting near any of this is a bad idea on a good day. You want to poke a wounded one now?"[/color] 

She didn't have the chance to talk more before Touka's flailing wire's struck for her too, but Kanbaru's eyes shone with a calmed surety. After all, the only one who knew Touka better then Allanah was Kanbaru...and maybe Chiaki. 

Ice sheathed her arm with a thought and she reached out with an armored palm, sending a solid pillar to be cut deeply and refreeze around the cords, trapping them in place. Each wild strike, fueling by directionless anger and thus lacking the finesse and strategy of Touka's usual style, were easily neutralized in short order till the alley carried the chill of a dozen new ice sculptures stabbed into the walls and ground beneath their feet.

[color=cyan]"Hey, it's going to be alright now. Kanbaru's got you."[/color] She said, dropping down to one knee before the wild eyed Magical Girl, pressing her armored hand to Touka's stump and freezing the hole over to contain her. Given Touka's nature, a little more pain wasn't going to make a difference to her. [color=cyan]"Though we should really stop meeting like this. It's not even the tenth time I've had you frozen to a dingy alley wall, Touka~"[/color]

Kanbaru forced her daytime cheer past her Magical Girl facade, trying to bring down her ex-partner's fury least she have to be more thorough in her restraint.
