"Well, this is just shameful," Lee muttered, shaking his head from under his veil. 

He just came out of the mist and into a fight, which was now down to three against one. On the larger side there were two heavy-hitting girls with Fire magic, and a boy who was apparently incapble of realizing just how badly their liberal use of fire meshes with the phrase "non-lethal combat." At least, that ignorance take was giving the lad the benefit of the doubt - after all, the foul-mouthed kid employed the galaxy brain strategy of giving the monster girl even more destructive potential. 

On the other side was...

...

...well, if they weren't interested in a fair fight, they weren't going to get one. With one unnecessarily theatrical movement, he targeted the Beacon Buddy and immediately obfuscated her presence. At the same time, he had obfuscated a duplicate Tonya in the exact same place, one that would seem indistinguishable from the real Tonya to anything less than a Third Eye. The illusory (Tonya) carefully began to circle away from Mayra, Lucifer, and Alexander with her guard up. 

"Pardon me for cutting in," Lee said, walking over to Tonya from the opposite direction of (Tonya) and her retreat. "You looked like you could use a breather." He sipped from his mug before continuing. "My name's Lee. You must be Tonya."

Time was running short.

The mist that obscured the graveyard, though hard to see through, wasn't actually impeding her driving skills all that much. The silver trail leading to the crypt was probably the reason for this, but it wasn't like she was complaining about it.

There was silence for a moment between the the driver and her passenger.

[color=gray]"...do you still have that tape?"[/color]

A moment later, Beat pranced into the clearing in her standard form, a bigass fur coat draped over her body. Her volume on was turned up high in a valiant effort to drown out the ear-mangling sounds of the Tower of Carnage meeting the Engine of Destruction... [url=https://thenewcaliborn.bandcamp.com/track/holy-fuck]with the even more unpleasantly atonal sounds of Macklemore and Green Day playing over each other.[/url]

That combination isn't something one considers playing at the climax of a duel. But this? This did put a smile on her face. She got to dance to her heart's content, which was a rarity when working with her friends. And hey, even if it was for the sake of distracting the people fighting around the crypt, she'd take it. 

Beat couldn't really see them, but she knew that her best friend was hiding under the same kinds of threads that Beat's new coat was made from. Sure, they were making her best friend look invisible instead of having the goreous coat, but there was a certain kind of joy in wearing matching outfits.

It was a shame her best friend's friend, Anna, wasn't wearing her own special threads, but she supposed covering herself in mirrors was pretty cool, too. It was reflecting light in such a way that it bent around her, which was a shame because she actually was pretty in her own right. But not as pretty as her best friend.

Oh well. Beat got to dance, play music, and wear this amazing coat. The only way this day could get any better is if her friends succeeded in bringing home another new friend.
