[color=goldenrod]“This is boring.”[/color] Palis’ grumbles fell layway to the shrieking chaos overtaking Miso City’s night winds. Since her encounter with the dark one and her recently acquired prey, she had settled fit to watch over her work from above. Sitting atop the edge one of the city’s skyscrapers with legs dangling into the night, she looked down at the invisible forces at bay, the many denizens of the town scrambling about for safety. Their panic only caused her frown to deepen.

[color=goldenrod]“Am I overthinking this? Because this got old real quick. Or maybe I’m doing something wrong here….”[/color] Still in her transformed state, she didn’t care if Rania or the recently corrupted Alara had tagged behind her to follow. They were both none of her concern and beneath her notice. What wasn’t, though, was the clash of magical energies thriving at the other end of the city. Palis casually stared at the abandoned construction site before turning her gaze back to the endless night below her.

[color=goldenrod]“No, no. It’s childish to sit here and pout. This is [i]exactly[/i] what I wanted.”[/color] Staff in hand, she raised herself to literally stand above the rest of the girls. Her frown curved into a sneer as she took in the stench of darkness. [color=goldenrod]“This is what real justice is. People need to learn through hardship and turmoil if they want to persevere, and this is exactly what I gave them. Only the strong can be allowed to carry out their justice,”[/color] she said. [color=goldenrod]“The night is ending, but I think they got the message burned into their souls.”[/color]

Indeed, the endless dark would be concluding soon, but that didn’t mean the scars inflicted upon the city would close and heal. If anything, the open wound struck upon Miso City seemed to spill out more and more like a festering disease. A wave of negativity flowed through the streets, and their source came from a dark alleyway that was soon to be coated in ice. 

When Gaia arrived upon the scene, all she would get as a response from Red Wire were more hateful screeches of anger and rage. In response, the wires spiraling out of the dark girl’s shoulders and arm instantly lashed towards her in retaliation. It was only by choice or chance the girl was saved by her enemy, Fortuna snatching her away from the sharp wires cutting the air itself.

So enthralled in her self-sustained madness was she that Wire didn’t realize her magic was being neutralized. The alleyway soon dropped in temperature until finally, all of the spread-out wires had been frozen in place. Some, however, showed building cracks along their lengths, as if they were ready to burst at any moment; so great was the darkness that spilled out Red Wire.  

By the time Fortuna had closed the distance to her former partner, Red Wire had lowered some of her screeching. Her sharp teeth continued to bite the air in front of her while her deranged sight snapped from the dark girl to the light girl, uncaring who was friend or foe. A madness all too prevalent was still present in Wire’s aura, one that was no doubt causing a rapid spike of aggression into Chie on the other half of the city. 

Still, Gaia was the first to arrive and the first blood to be drawn. Snapping her gaze sharply at the Magical Girl, Red Wire roared anew. It soon sputtered out into a wet gasp as wires suddenly spurted from her maw, each one as violent as the other to tear apart Gaia. They didn’t care for Fortuna, only for the fool who had showed up first practically asking for a death wish.
