When Hikari landed on her feet, her entrance was made somewhat less impressive by the fact that she wasn't quite prepared to compensate for her hammer's bulk, and stumbled forward before getting control of herself. As she did, she managed to take another look at her transformed self, now that she'd taken out one enemy magical girls. The hammer... the back of the head, the dragon-shaped part, was billowing smoke. She'd heard a crack, like the sound of a firework being launched and exploding. Was that why she had suddenly gone rocketing through the air so quickly? Had the back of her hammer worked like some kind of rocket booster?!

If so, that... that was kind of awesome...

But she couldn't let herself be too distracted!

"Ah?! Uh, a marble? What? Why would there be..." she shook her head. It sounded important, so...!

Naoko sighed.

"Aah, man, it was so cool I lost track of what I was doing," she lamented, apparently not too dismayed at being stuck in a hold beneath the monstergirl. In fact... she was starting to grin.

"Well, enough laying around! Let me show you the [i]Blazing Blood of the Oni![/i]"

Suddenly, an intense, unbearable heat began to radiate from Naoko's body. Her skin began to glow, an overwhelming aura expanding from her... there was more than physical strength to Naoko's reputation!
