"Rina, alright then," Alicia muttered to herself. At least she had a name now, and she turned from that to what they would soon be confronting. Progress was initially easy, and she caught sight of other magical girls in the distance heading towards the same place. At least she wasn't the only one to recognize the dangers of this. Now hopefully it would work out better than the whole Justine business had. 

Difficulty arose with wall of darkness, and her arms rose to cover her face as she was buffeted by the sudden burst. Though it pushed her back, she was not knocked off of her feet. Almost as if by reflex her power flared, illuminating around her and allowing her to chart a course forwards and to whatever was causing this.

Emerging from the smoke, Alicia would find several things to draw her attention. The first was the crypt with a magical barrier around it. It also served as the only source of light, meaning that this had to be the center of what was going on. 

She also found that she wasn't alone. Nodding to Summer, her gaze shifted to the other girl. Red outfit, though she didn't seem familiar.  Most importantly were the duo that approached them, and she took a step back as realization set in. For a moment she hadn't recognized them, but the mention of that nickname brought it all right back. No one had mentioned that their appearance had changed so drastically!

Her face darkened as he spoke, ironically agreeing with Regina in that sense. Light twisted and formed as Star Seraph appeared. The bow rested comfortably in her grip as she raised it, aiming directly at Elroy as she pulled back the drawstring and manifested a shining arrow of light. "Plan A, no shifting by yourself," she replied swiftly to Summer, her attention diverted but a moment. 

Facing down Elroy, he would meet with only a steel resolve and iron certainty. "We have nothing to discuss," she growled, meeting his challenge head on. "Whatever this is, it ends now." She had gone in fully expecting there would be no peaceful retreat, and was prepared to face that. She'd given the Bates a chance before, and they'd taken it and brainwashed her sisters. And now they were aiding this...whatever it was. They wanted to force this to the bitter end? Fine.

In any case, she was more than willing to shoot first and did so, her aim adjusted as she fired over Elroy's shoulder at Regina. It would cross part of the distance between them, nearing before exploding into a vibrant star of pulsing light. She then dodged to the side, in case it wasn't effective on Regina's altered form and there was a retaliatory strike. 

"Rina, right?" she called back without looking. "You take care of the boy. I'll handle our sniper problem." Another arrow was strung and fired, this time without the fancy tricks as she engaged Regina in a long range battle. At least she had cover on her side as she slowly advanced towards the crypt.
