It was fair to say she wasn't going anywhere. [b]“Oh, are you the leader of this merry group?”[/b] Sammy approached Alicia. [b]“It's a deduction I made based on the fact that you are taking an authoritative tone. Not only that but you're also squaring your shoulders a bit, and I also figured that an organization like Beacon would...”[/b] Sammy sighed. [b]“None of that is really important though. What is important is that one of your goons is interfering with my investigation. They tried to help a crime lord escape, and further disrupted things by shifting us to the over city!”[/b] Sammy's head turned more red as she ranted on about Summer's actions. [b]“Take us back to the real world at once! And discipline your lackey while you're at it, or does Beacon encourage the destruction of public property?!?”[/b] The detective was franticly waving her arms. Much faster and she might start flying.

Though she was more interested in how Alicia would react now that she was being confronted about Beacon's antics directly.

This first was magic. Now she knew quite a bit about the surface workings of magic, but magic by its very nature wasn't very understood. Even the experts only had a very small portion of it figured out, and the entire mystery around magic would likely never be unraveled. The second thing was humans. Su seemed to have a gift for talking to them, but that didn't mean their actions or choices were ever fully understood by her. The desires of humans changed like the seasons. The third, most confusing thing was magical girls. Simply because that they were the first two items combined. Su ran her hand down the front of her face. [color=peachpuff]”This is not ideal.”[/color] Mayra's choice to follow after Su and Helga was something that she hadn't really expected. Helga had beaten her allies, which should have incited some need for revenge. But it appeared that she wasn't on great terms with her allies. Su did not rule out the possibility of this being a ruse, but magical girls were erratic things. It wouldn't surprise Su if Mayra honestly wanted to just tag along. [color=peachpuff]”Helga, this is our monster. Not exactly what I expected, but she wants to beat up some skeletons.”[/color] She eyed both of the remaining monster girls for a moment. [color=peachpuff]”We've wasted enough time here, so let's grant her wish.”[/color] Su turned towards the direction of the sound. [color=peachpuff]”Before this entire building collapses.”[/color] Su got outside just in time to spot the skeleton army. [color=peachpuff]”Hmmm, seems like we're late to the party.”[/color] [hr] [center][img]https://78.media.tumblr.com/4bea0f5298c687f13222714ecfd3dad3/tumblr_pczx4qmC3p1w6599so5_r2_640.png[/img][/center] Mika dropped her improvised club and fell to one knee. There was only so much her healing artifact could do, and she was taking more damage than the artifact could expect to reverse. She was nearly trampled by an army of skeletons, and bitten by at least six (she didn't count) spiders. Who knew what the long term effects of the venom would be? But none of that really bothered Mika right now. She was thinking about what mommy spider had said. [color=tomato][i]”They were just babies?”[/i][/color] Mika had suspected that the spiders were her children, but it was just a hunch. Having it confirmed made her gut hurt. There had to be something she could have done to save them. They were only trying to eat her because mommy spider wasn't doing her job. Maybe Mika could have mothered them. She'd just have to show them how people eat. There's no way anyone could continue to eat people after they'd had some chicken, or bacon even. People just don't taste as good as deli meats. [color=tomato][i]”Who would do this?”[/i][/color] They just needed to be shown the way. They just needed to feel the love of a mother. There was no excuse for mommy spider's behavior. This defied the laws of nature in a way that made Mika sick. [color=tomato][i]”Unforgivable!”[/i][/color] [hider=Mika's Grave] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5qqwTR7EXA[/youtube] [/hider] The beast girl's growing anger focused her senses. She was unaware of the rooftop fight, or that someone up there had just freed her. She was unaware if Lupa needed help. She didn't even see Su and the other aproching from her left. All Mika could see was the spider woman hanging from a silken thread, waving about in the allyway. Before Mika knew it, she had sprinted to her feet and was blazing a path straight for the spider woman. Mika had just enough power for one more full body transformation. Such was the consequence of getting beaten so badly. When Mika reached the spider web wall, she transformed into a giant orb weaver spider. One of the core reasons why spiders didn't get stuck on their own webs was because they walked on hairs on the very tips of their legs. Because they aren't contacting the web all at once like their prey, they are able to move across their web without becoming ensnared. With her new form, Mika was able to easily scale the web wall. Once she was at the top, she dove onto the strand the spider woman was hanging from, with the intent of scaling down as quickly as she could. While Mika's new form didn't have any web, it had potent venom. Mika did not care how many times the spider woman tried to shoot web at her. She was determined to land a bite on her prey. For Lupa, for the spider woman's children, for justice.
