Now that the slime had been disposed of, there was only Tonya left to deal with. Considering it was now truly a 3 vs 1 fight, Emily did not expect it to take much longer. But, surprisingly, the girl proved to be more than a match in close quarters against Mayra, who seemed like that was her specialty. The kick she delivered earlier felt that way, at least. That wasn't good. Lucifer was best at a range, and getting close to them was not going to end well for her, but at the same time, she couldn't fire off blasts recklessly or she'd potentially damage the wrong girl. If Alex's buffs weren't enough to tip the scales in Mayra's favor, then perhaps Emily would need to forgo safety and enter a closer range to help. Given Mayra's past betrayal, Emily was sure doing so could be much more dangerous than it normally should be.

Emily didn't want anybody to die here, but the more desperate people got, the less likely they were to hold back their punches. A fight between magical girls could immediately turn sour at any moment, so she should help end it before it got to that point. But as she was about to draw near to Mayra and Tonya, something caused her to pause. 

[color=turquoise]"Hmm?"[/color] 

It was Tonya. Something strange was up with her. For a moment, it became difficult to observe her, though she immediately went back to normal. Emily pondered if that meant she was preparing something. That could be it, but then again, what would she be doing? That brief period where Lucifer couldn't identify her was strange. What could have caused that? A trick of the eye? She seemed to hold power over wind, no illusions, so that couldn't be it. A normal person might chalk it up to the heat haze caused by Mayra's super-heated form, but that assumption caused Emily to reflect on a concerning trait Tonya briefly exhibited in that moment: her heat signature had vanished. 

Much like herself, Tonya's heat signature returned to normal as she did. But that did not make Emily feel any less confused and anxious. There had to be an explanation for what happened. She wasn't some electronic device that could potentially have a bug or a small issue. Her heat vision worked, and either she saw heat or it wasn't there. 

[color=turquoise][i]...I don't like this one bit.[/i][/color]

She was suspicious of Tonya, but she still had to deal with the girl. She began after the 'brainwashed' girl, but before doing so, passed by Alexander. [color=turquoise]"Eyes open, something's off."[/color] she warned Alexander. The information, or lack thereof, was unfortunate, but so long as her warning caused the man to be on his guard, that may be more than enough. So she continued pursuing the retreating Tonya.
