"Hm, I see... in that case, I'm going to have to go and kick their ass," said the girl with the gauntlet, cracking her knuckles as she spoke, "Or at least give the creep a talking to, but I've got a feeling it won't be that easy, you know?"

She cocked her head towards Fuyuko. "I just got this really bad feeling when I saw them, the other girls I talked to said the same thing. There's something really wrong with whoever it is behind that mask."

She turned to leave, but then paused for a moment and turned to face Fuyuko once more.

"Oh, right, I'm Shining Fist!" declared the magical girl with a grin. It seemed like she switched between moods pretty quickly, given how fast she went from the angry to cheerful. "I know we're kinda-sorta enemies right now, but magical girls can be friends too, right?"

"No no, I'm not talking about that," insisted Hina, waving her hand as she spoke, "You [i]know[/i] what I'm talking about!"

She pointed squarely at Hanako. After a few moments of silence, Chise decided to step in and explain.

"... There's no point in playing dumb," she said, flatly, "Hina-chan's concept lets her smell magic, like a doggy."

"Wan!" came an enthusiastic interjection for Hina, which earned her a brief look from Chise.

"We know you're a magical girl, onee-san," Chise continued, a serious expression crossing her face, "And both of us are too. We were trying to see if the miko was one, but we found you instead."

A small smile crossed her lips.

"Are you ready to take us on? You won't win."

The dust settled.

The shades were destroyed, each and every one of them torn apart. There was no risk of a single shade growing bloated on the power released by the destruction of its fellows.

Softly, slowly, the purple-haired magical girl brought her hands together and clapped. Her unfriendly grin was still worn on her lips.

"My my, you inefficiently slaughtered a swarm of garbage," she commented, her tone still considerably uncomplimentary, "However, your display was entertaining, I suppose. I shall give you the opportunity to contemplate my offer. However..."

She cocked her head.

"The outcome is the same no matter what decision you make: I will claim victory in the Hex Night, and there is nothing anyone can do to change that fact."

And with that, and a flash of purple light, the girl was gone.
