If it was someone else, they might have gone through with killing the poor girl outright. But as difficult as it was, that was the way it should be...Just like a magical girl. [color=fff200]"No worries it happens to the best of us,"[/color] she happened to quip in. [color=fff200]"I know what it's like to be forced into bad stuff by a meanie, even though I was lucky and was sleeping the entire way through."[/color] She had a concerned look as Janet suggested she wait for help, and stood up from the ground. [color=fff200]"No worries it happens to the best of us,"[/color] She averted her eyes, and bit her lip. [color=fff200]"And Alex is still fighting...I can't just-AGH!"[/color] She braced with her arms as the mana beast blew up, causing her to be lightly sprayed by magic-infused mist. She pinched her nose with shut eyes, and waved the air before her in a frantic manner. [color=fff200]"E-EEWWWW! I got farted on! This is the worst!"[/color] She then glowed a bit, and she blinked. [color=fff200]"Wait, huh? Can I..."[/color] She concentrated, and soon enough, her form was enveloped in yellow, sparkling light, soon to emerge back as her magical girl state. [color=fff200]"I got just enough to turn back...But no spells or arrows, huh..."[/color] She nodded to herself. [color=fff200]"I need to find Alex. He must be worried! ALEEX!"[/color] She screamed as she followed the others, hoping to find him at the very center of the conflict. [hr] Cindy did not hesitate as she made a dynamic entry, shocking hordes of Imps by ramming right into them with her fists outstretched like Superman, leaving nothing but arcs of blue electricity behind her alongside the ashy remains of her opponents. Joined by the rest, the large group fought in what looked like doomsday, with monsters continuously popping up from dark portals spawned subconsciously by Soth's slow but gradual awakening. [color=9fd9fc]‘It seems the Beacon is also here,’[/color] she commented. [color=9fd9fc]‘Give them a wide berth, and don't hesitate to strike back if they dare to touch any of you.’[/color] In response, June scowled, and turned her nose up at the monster girl. "At least you know where the priority lies. Sisters, time to bring out the big guns! Magdalene, activate the UV Cannons!" A magical near her nodded; she was wearing a mechanical suit inspired by Penny, with large spotlights fitted on the shoulders. She dropped down to one knee, aimed at the black smoke, and then activated them. As a result, the black smoke began fading away, vanishing by the heavy concentration of magical technology. "Hahaaa!" June exclaimed in triumph, her eyes gleaming. "Beacon's magitech is the best in the world!" [color=MediumVioletRed]"Braggart,"[/color] Julia softly spoke, her cheeks puffed up in an annoyed expression. Jillian patted her back. [color=Aqua]"It's all right, Julia. Let the lanternheads have their fun. Besides, they're quite useful to us. In fact, they all are after I've given them some encouragement."[/color] Soon enough, Jillian's Power of Friendship wafted down in a similar fashion, emboldening both the Beacon, Cindy, and even the few unaffiliated fighters in the far reaches, giving them the strength and will to persevere against the darkness.

"No way; out of the two of us, you're the cool-headed one, Su." She complimented her, and then nodded at her warning as Divina launched one last attack. "Got it. If she turns on us, you'll need to go save Amby; I'll hold her off." Her claws extended in a fighting pose, the monster girl grimaced as Divina transformed into another example of a magical girl corrupted to their core. "Geez..." She muttered between grit teeth, and tensed up as Chloe spoke to them. It turned out that Chloe had no intentions of initiating hostility between them, and decided to leave. "Sure, go ahead," she spoke back, still a bit wary. "Thanks for all the help out there. And...I'm sorry I called you an exhibitionist. I used to wear next to nothing in the past too, and seeing you was a reminder of it. You honestly don't look half bad like that. So, yeah...Bye." After Chloe left, Helga to let out a big sigh out of both relief and slight anxiety. "Whooo boy, that could have turned ugly in a flash." She put her fists to her sides, a slight smirk on her lips. "If it weren't for that crystal crap, I might have taken her up on her date offer." As she looked back at Su, she happened to spot a silver line in the ground, now revealed as the black smoke began slowly losing its thick composition thanks to Beacon's efforts. "You reckon this leads to Amby, Su? Let's follow it!" She ran with her arms stretched behind her, claws readied as she already heard what sounded like a titanic struggle beyond, preparing herself. "I won't let anyone touch you, Amby! Not anymore!"
