Pleased that Summer was on the task that she had been assigned, Alicia could focus more on dealing with al the new enemies showing up, and keeping them from approaching the crypt where they were now. She wasn't deliberately trying to save Regina, it was just an accidental result of her efforts. Otherwise one could be sure that part of the barrage she had launched would be aimed at the Bate sister too. 

Nodding to Katarina as she was instructed to focus on Elroy, the archer was quick to do so. Not that it was easy with the two large beings moving into close range of each other. Which meant she had to be careful about her shots or else she could hit Penny instead. 

There wasn't much time to focus on that anyway as Sammy finished up with what she was trying to do. "Um, wouldn't that defeat the point of having a barrier?" Alicia observed in confusion, mostly to herself as the detective revealed the weakness of the barrier. Maybe it was just her, but it seemed like having a defense where you could walk in after smacking it hard enough, even if only for a short time, was not a particularly useful defense. 

She was really, really tempted to fill Sammy full of arrows right then and there, but she managed to restrain herself beyond the occasional muscle twitch. If there had been any doubts before, it was now clear that the detective was just flat out crazy, cementing her desire to not interact with her again in the future if Alicia could avoid it. But the weather was taking a turn for the worse, and the barrier was temporarily disrupted, so she had no time to waste. One last bolt was fired, this one arcing up to give Elroy a flash in his face equivalent to the brightness of a bolt of lightning, before Alicia moved to get through the barrier. 

"Let's go Summer," she called, exiting the scene with Star Seraph lowered. There was little time left, so needless to say he was hurrying as they rushed down the corridors that the previous magical girl had already been down, searching for the source of the ritual in the crypt. Hopefully they weren't too late.
