It looked like it did a serious dent to the girl, with her PJs showing underneath the magical girl outfit she was wearing. Christ, if that's how strong this beast was, the Hivemother really couldn't get close with anything she had. Her bees would just get blasted to bits by the miasma, like a few just did, and she wasn't going to get anywhere close to the beast with her Stinger. The wall of ice rose in front of the apartment, no doubt as a result of the handiwork of the groups Keeper. The beast seemed to be distraught with it, but had assaulted the ice all the same as it propelled its miasma towards it, melting the ice and spilling a darkness all over Ami's apartment. No doubt that wasn't going to smell great after, but it gave the combating Magical Girls an opportunity, as the miasma around the beast had been lifted, for a short time at least. If there was any time that the Hivemother was going to get an attack in, now would be that time. [color=yellow]"Come, troops! We must seize this opportunity while we can! Converge onto the Nightmare, posthaste!"[/color] Apia tapped into her own magic reserves to call forth more troops, swarms of insects appearing from every nook and cranny around as they swarmed around the beast, attempting to sting it wherever they could and as quickly as they could. The Hivemother nodded as she joined in the fight as well, running up to the Nightmare's maw and attempting to jab it with her rapier, ready to hop out of the way of danger if she had to. If she could get a few shots in, the mouth of the monster would freeze up due to the paralytic poison, which is exactly what she needed to see at that moment.
