[color=red]"Tsk."[/color] Silhouette clicked her tongue, annoyed her attempt to end the fight early wasn't successful. 

She was able to raise her weapon and deflect the attacks Shona had launched in retaliation but was grazed by the hit from the sweep Shona used before backing off. The damage was negligible, nothing that would impede her ability to fight, but it did prevent her from immediately chasing her as she tried to gain distance. [color=red]"A squire with a verbose title, huh?"[/color] she scoffed, raising her dagger towards Shona. [color=red]"As if it matters. You're no better than a drone. But if it's darkness you want..."[/color] Silhouette's shadow slowly slinked into her, eventually disappearing. [color=red][url=https://youtu.be/F3B7M-3KfrA?t=39]"...I'd be [s]right[/s] happy to[/url] let darkness be the last thing you experience!"[/color] Saying so, she engaged once again with Shona. Though she was experienced with her blade, the fact quickly became apparent that she would be at a disadvantage if she were to continue to fight so directly. Her 'shield' had made the engagement somewhat manageable, but blocking thrusts with her arm proved to be a bit difficult to do consistently, eventually leading to her suffering a few hits that would've been a lot worse were she not able to twist her body in such a way to minimize the damage they had done at the last moment. 

A different approach was going to be needed. Silhouette wasn't going to be able to treat Shona lightly, but she was prepared for this. As the two continued to fight, Sil forced a clash between her stasis-locked arm and Shona's blade, bracing it with her other hand. It was around then that Veronica's voice rang inside her head with new orders. [color=red][i]Consider it done.[/i][/color] She answered mentally, though in all honesty, this wasn't exactly as easy as her confident reply might've made it sound. Her best bet to successfully ensure Mika's safety was to break off from this duel and personally assist the girl, but she had the feeling Shona wouldn't just let her do that. Alternatively, she would have to finish this fight quickly, but Sil noticed that Mika wasn't faring too well against the countless horrors descending upon her, so she needed help immediately. 

[color=red][i]I suppose I can't be too selfish right now.[/i][/color]

Still in a clash with Shona, Silhouette's shadow leaked out from beneath her and began to take on a physical form, its appearance being that of Silhouette's... silhouette. Knowing what its purpose was upon its creation, it quickly ran off to assist the two magical girls who had become surrounded by horrors, hopefully providing some relief to them while she dealt with Shona. She had originally intended to use her shadow to throw in more unpredictable attacks at Shona, but now she was missing the shadow she needed to do so. She would have to manage somehow. [color=red]"You're not bad yourself. For a drone, that is. I suppose I'll extend to you the same courtesy and not hold back."[/color] she told Shona, then attempted to push her weapon to the side. If successful, she would throw stabs at Shona with her dagger.

[color=turquoise]"Tsk."[/color] Emily clicked her tongue, annoyed despite how obvious that it was that this was going to happen. 

It was a shame that things led to this, but there was nothing to be done now, except defend herself. Ignoring the unwarranted insult to her character, as it was something she was used to by this point, she extended her arm towards the apple-riding spiders being launched at her. [color=turquoise]"By fire, be purged!"[/color] She greeted them with a stream of fire from the palm of her gauntlet, presumably vaporizing them. Admittedly, this was perhaps the only time she actively enjoyed defending herself against another magical girl, as the only good spider, in her eyes, was a dead one. Bugs, in general, weren't pleasant to deal with. 

Still, she did not appreciate this girl attacking them. And since it seemed like the magical boy with her thought she was being brainwashed, it was unlikely they'd be able to talk her down. A nonlethal solution was preferable, and with the two of them against her, Emily felt the odds were on their side.

That, of course, perhaps changed with the appearance of another, scaley girl. Emily was not one to discriminate against monster girls, though in her experience more had been hostile than not, though not to the degree of a horror girl. Still, it wasn't like she could instantly identify friend from foe in this hectic place. [color=turquoise]"You there! [s]Can you teach me how to do that flip shit was awesome[/s] State your business!"[/color] she demanded. Of course, this meant she wasn't able to follow Alexander in his attack on Tonya. At least, not yet.
