[color=fff200]"Success!"[/color] Lily screamed as her newly crafted sorcery brought Jenna across the graveyard in a flash. However, she also felt the punch in her mana; as she crudely matched two different types of magic together in an inefficient manner, she ended up casting one spell for the price of two. However, it didn't stop her from holding back the cultists with her arrows, managing to avoid counter-fire. Soon enough, she felt how both Aurelio's hope-magic and Jenna's Rallying Cry reinvigorated her, bringing her back up to full strength.
[color=fff200]"Yes, now we can-Huh?"[/color]
Abigail disappeared, causing Lily to become frustrated.
[color=fff200]"What, did she shift? But why?"[/color]
She got her answer when she returned, causing an event not unlike a meteor shower to fall upon them.
[color=fff200]"Oh crap! AAAHHH!"[/color]
She ran around like a cartoon, avoiding pianos, sinks, safes and the like.

[color=fff200]"ROODO ROLLA DA!"[/color] She screamed as the asphalt-flattening vehicle was the next to drop...But it was stopped in the air, cast in stasis by being hit with an arrow resembling the hand of a clock.
[color=fff200]"Now I get it how Minnie did it."[/color]
Bolstered by the protective power of the Beacons, Lily had decided to pull out her own trump card.
[color=fff200]"Aurelio, I'm going in! Give me a boost!"[/color]
She then sped up, and jumped up, dragging her staff behind her as it charged with bright, crackling energy. She stopped an Easter Island statue as it was dropping, and used that to propel herself up towards Abigail. She was aware of the repulsing field, but she wouldn't let it stop her. While she wasn't the smartest kid in school, she learned enough of electromagnetism to know that repulsive forces cause electrons to arc around the object, and accelerate. She would take advantage of this phenomenon, and took a gamble with her mana; she prepared for her Killing Blow, but accelerated its charging by combining time magic into it. Then, as she released the empowered [i]Zeus' Wrath[/i], she intentionally curved it around her repulsive field, so it would accelerate into energy so vast it would cause a giant electric discharge, with Abigail at the center. It wouldn't be enough to kill Abigail, or even knock her out; all she needed was to paralyze her momentarily, and allow the twins to fix her short-circuited brain.

Cindy's expression turned amused as Lotus was silenced by the yellow fruit, having only slightly dipped to disappointment when Faith denied her status as tribute. 
[color=9fd9fc]‘I assumed as much,’[/color] she commented, and glanced aside at Shion, aware of how long she has had to wait.
[color=9fd9fc]‘What is the real tribute?’[/color]
As it turned out, it was coins. And strange ones as well, with crimson color.
[color=9fd9fc]‘...Julie, what are these?’[/color] 
Julie shook her head, and Cindy sighed. "Not something I've seen before," she answered, "but if they're anything alike the mystical coins I do know exist, they're able to grant magical boons, possibly with a price,"
Cindy put a hand to her chin, and gazed upon the coins; she sensed the magic in them so Faith was not lying about their arcane nature. However, they could easily be a trap to curse the user, or worse.
[color=9fd9fc]‘Give me a proper explanation, or demonstrate to me how it is used. While you make up your answer, I have another to address who has waited too long.’[/color]
She turned to Shion, a warmer expression now on her face. 
[color=9fd9fc]‘Now then, as I recall, you sought my protection? Or did you seek to also form an alliance, like these two?’[/color] She gestured to the two girls.

Helga dodged the laser aimed at her, only to be hit with rocks and broken pieces of tombstones from the ensuing explosion, sending her flying back, knocking out a few of her teeth, and causing more damage that she continued to ignore; she was not looking well at this point with her many wounds and battered armor; her lack of restraint quickly proving to be her undoing. She didn't even notice that she wasn't flying of her own power, forcing Su to directly confront her.
[h3]"LET GO OF ME!"[/h3] She struggled against the winds, trying to swim her way out like a dog, clawing at nothing. When Su demanded to look at her, she was met with Helga's grief-stricken gaze.
[h3]"REVENGE FOR AMBY!"[/h3][h2]"REVENGE!"[/h2]
But then, as Helga saw Su's eyes, she saw someone who had been with her ever since Amber left her. Visions of their time together at her grave caused tears to fall down her cheeks, as she remembered her having spoken those very same words before.
"Re...Revenge..." Her screams lost their power, just as Divina cast a double strike with both flechettes and a monolith laser. Though the feather failed to hit her thanks to the wind barrier, the laser struck her right in the shoulder, causing her wing to be blasted off.

"AAAHHHH!" She screamed as she fell. She was reaching the ground fast...And then a hard bass sound reverberated throughout the area, and Helga flipped back to standing position; she managed to redirect her landing with her palm-based Sound Cannons. Her other wing also fell off, only to magically fade; she managed to shake off her Metamorphosis.
"That was nice, blowing of some steam," she spoke, and took a lowered stance. "But Amber wouldn't want me to avenge her like that. She would want us to work together. But now I'm like this, damn..." She glanced at Chloe. "I'll destroy her monoliths, so you'll be the one to end her, exhibitionist girl!" And with that, she got to work; using punches charged with high-frequency vibrations, she began demolishing whatever constructs Divina would summon. She would cast off her remorse and hatred, for she had no use for them. All that mattered, was that she could return with Su and Mika to a peaceful future.

[color=8dc73f]"I am Kimble, silly Miss Frida!"[/color] Lea suddenly felt the cat-girl lean over her shoulder from behind her, giggling mischievously; it seemed that despite the distance, her sharp feline ears heard every word Lea spoke, and managed to sneak up on her when her eyes left her.
[color=8dc73f]"Who are you talking to? Are they down at the graveyard with Mistress Alicia? She is there to protect Penrose, nya!"[/color]
She then rubbed her cheek against Lea's.
[color=8dc73f]"She's amazing! If only she nyaticed me more!"[/color]
