Then an eldrich horror would be able to use her as their play thing as they experamented on the corrupted spark inside her. But Mac didn't let that happen. She swapped Tonya with a duplicate illusion that did exactly what Lee wanted her to. But the real one had been carried off by her gravity and slammed into a tombstone until she detransformed. Mac had done the unthinkable. She had gone against fate. And why? Because she could? Because she was bored? Because Alicia showed kindness to monsters? Maybe she just wanted to see what happened? None of those. She was just protecting the innocent like a good cop would. She slung Tonya over her shoulder and ran to the main conflict. She had wasted too much time here, and needed to make sure the ritual didn't complete.

The other imps had retreated soon after Elroy was killed, and Soth's separating of its selves had a noticeable effect on the black tiger. Tony was clearly afraid, and didn't even have the guts to raise its tendrils to Rina anymore. With a gleeful smile, *Rina put an arrow in each of its paws, and then finished it off with an arrow to the head. Because she is a merciless [b]C A T S L A Y E R[/b]. Lupa’s clone remained nearby to keep any other attackers at bay. [sub][i]*This action may or may not have actually been preformed by Rina[/i][/sub] [color=tomato]“Hey! You forgot to help Sil out!”[/color] Mika took a few steps towards the beacon girls before stopping. [color=tomato]“[i]Penny?[/i] So those guys are Beacon? I guess that explains why they didn't wanna help me.”[/color] She sighed. [color=tomato]“I'm sorry Sil. I messed up again.”[/color] She examined Sil's form. She was mostly healed up by now (she thought), but Mika couldn't do anything for her mana reserves. [color=tomato]“I can still get you out of here though. It looks like all the goons are leaving.”[/color] Mika turned and ran for the smoke wall. [color=tomato]“Let's go Lupa!”[/color] [color=afab2c]"Party's over?"[/color] Lupa chuckled. [color=afab2c]"If anyone else is feeling weak, follow us! I know a place you can crash to recover your strength."[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/7XiEh4i.png[/img][/center] [b]”Cowards!”[/b] Abigail pointed at Mika and Lupa as they ran. [b]”Actually, retreating might be a good idea if you're weak. But I've still got business with this creep, bwahwahwahwahwah!”[/b] She folded her arms. [b]”I've got just enough juice for one more good spell. Just give me an opening!”[/b] She joined the girls running towards Regina. Not all of the magical girls were trying to move about or even participate in the fight. Aurelio made his way to Sammy's side to ask her what was wrong. The detective did not look at who was kneeling next to her. She had been aproched by Jenna before, but they just said something before running off. With Aurellio remaining nearby, she tried to speak. [b]”He's dead!”[/b] She managed to say between sobs. [b]”H-he died while-”[/b] But it was impossible for Sammy to finish. Some of the cats nuzzled up against her in an attempt to bring Sammy comfort, but about eight others wandered towards the crypt. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/TF6tSRZ.png [/img][/center] Regina's breath attack was cut short when Chloe's beast rammed into her. This new draconic form was much more durable than her previous form, but she lacked the strength and stability that her brother had. That didn't mean that she was helpless against the abomination however. Her tail was flexible enough to flail against her back where Chloe's minion was. To something this large, her tail wouldn't inflict much damage. But like Regina's bullets, it was the curses that made her attacks dangerous. Her first hit made the creature's body less resistant to physical attacks, and another smack caused its muscles to weaken. Before Regina could continue her assault, the creature had backed off. Its legs were shaking. Between getting blown nearly in half by the white monolith and the curses, it was a miracle the thing was still standing. Regina would have followed up with another attack, but Janet, Helga, and Abigail had arrived. Everyone briefly stopped when they noticed Alicia's attack activating overhead. Even Regina seemed to notice the sudden burst of light. But she did noting to avoid it, as [i]someone[/i] as obstructed the attack with mirrors. That was when “Elroy” started talking. As her “brother” spoke, Regina's attention seemed to be captivated. Janet knew that she wouldn't be distracted like this for long, so she used it as an opportunity to attack. She continued her charge, with Helga and Abigail following behind her. The gravity girl used the last of her magic to lock Regina in place so that Helga and Janet could go to town on her. Regina turned her head to see what had taken hold of her, but it was too late. Janet wasn't able to get to Regina's head, but she was able to drive her lance into one of her bony thighs, and Helga followed up with a sonic blast. Her bones were cracking, they had wounded it. The dragon was not without her tricks, however. The same black fog that surrounded everyone was now being blasted out of Regina's rib cage. It disorientated and blinded those caught in the smoke, who were unable to continue attacking Regina. They would be fine once they wandered out of the mist. Everyone else would feel something was afoot, but only those with third eye, a wind specialization, or any ability that might help someone notice an invisible object would be able to see what it was. There were several [url=https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/hearthstone_gamepedia/thumb/3/38/Bone_Drake_full.jpg/412px-Bone_Drake_full.jpg?version=ac7f9fffee04bc7f9fd617f7b5766da2]bone drakes[/url] flying through the air, ready to do their queen's bidding. They had just come out of the smoke wall around the crypt and looked like they might attack soon. [b][color=f200f2]"Deceivers..."[/color][/b] Meanwhile, Collector Delta was deep in concentration. She had a small window of opportunity to do this while almost everyone's attention was drawn away from her target. Delta focused her full attention to the instance of Soth as it staggered back with its stolen legs, unable to escape the Knight's whirling hell of nothing but steel. She waited for the right moment, then conjured another mirror. Unlike the three she just created, this one laid flat on the ground directly underneath (Soth's) feet, and was enchanted to drag it into the realm within the mirrors. Regina phased out of the shadows right where Collector Delta stood. She took one of her talons and thrust it towards her. Between Regina's swift appearance and speed, Delta barely had a chance to react. Regina wasn’t aiming to kill though, only to mar her mind with a concoction of curses and metal effects. The small shards that surrounded Delta fell to the ground, revealing her position to all. [b][color=f200f2]"I do not care for your friend’s tricks, Anna, and I don’t care for you."[/color][/b]The black smoke all around them started to surge towards Regina along with all of the bone drakes. (for those who could sense them). The smoke then started to rise into the air, obscuring the queen as she left the battlefield. The smoke cloud seemed to get smaller as it went off into the distance, until it plunged into the ground and vanished.

I'm glad I didn't bring the rest of the vanguard with me.“[/b] She fret her brow. [b]”Wait, looks like there’s one left.“[/b] Lotus ran towards the crypt. [b]”I've never been better, at least not in a graveyard~!“[/b] Faith followed after Lotus. The Cradle agents were making a bee line for Sil and Mika. Although Sil had never personally met any of them, she knew who they were by the red halo only she could see. The eye patch maid was leading the way. [b]”Finally, I get to meet the top idol!“[/b] she tripped over something and landed on the ground. Her companions proceeded to walk past her, seemingly ignoring the clumsy maid. [b]”Good grief, at least now she’ll shut up for a second.“[/b] One of the cradle agents retracted a tentacle into their sleeve. A medic-looking girl was quick to approach Sil and Mika. [b]”Thank you for looking after her. We can take it from here.“[/b] When the medic extended her hand, Mika pulled Sil away from her. [b]”Ma’am? I’m going to heal the wound in her chest. I need to be close for it to work.“[/b] [color=tomato]“I-I’ve got it!”[/color] Mika was squinting her eyes. The medic blinked once, but kept her hand outstretched. [b]”Do you not trust me? This place looks like a war zone, and I can understand if you’re a little shaken up. But with all do respect, you’re going to run out of mana before you heal her.“[/b] [color=tomato]“I got it! I’ll-”[/color] Mika was cut short when a zombie-looking agent yanked Sil out of her arms and slung her friend over her shoulder. [color=tomato]“Hey! Give her back.”[/color] [b]”Or what? You’ll talk me to death?“[/b] [color=tomato]“I scratch and I bite!”[/color] [b]”You’ll do neither if you pick a fight with me.“[/b] Mika puffed up her cheeks, but before she could deliver that sick burn that was resting on the tip of her tongue, the medic retracted her hand from Sil. [b]”There you go soldier. All patched up. You should be able to stand on your own now.“[/b] The zombie girl lowered Sil onto her feet. [b]”She could probably walk before.“[/b] [color=tomato]“No she couldn’t!”[/color] Mika stepped between Sil and the agents. [color=tomato]“I saved her!”[/color] The zombie girl scoffed. [b]”Did you save this girl’s life Sil? I can’t imagine you being anyone’s type.“[/b] [b]”I think I see what’s going on here.“[/b] The medic looked at Mika. [b]”Ma’am, I’m part of a team. I’m not nearly as strong as any one of them. They can do a lot of stuff better than I-“[/b] [b]”Lets save the monologue for after we save the world.“[/b] The zombie woman patted Sil on the back. [b]”No one’s going to carry you Sil, Get your ass out of here, we can clean up the rest. Let kitty here play escort if you’re scared.“[/b] [center][img]https://78.media.tumblr.com/8926851b8ec458a49aa78b5ed202dcff/tumblr_pczx4qmC3p1w6599so3_640.png[/img][/center] Divina had almost picked up a piece of scrap metal, when it was whisked off the ground. In fact, all of the scrap metal was being pulled into a small whirlwind. It didn’t just pick up the metal though, it also picked up stone and other loose debris that resulted from all the fighting. Everything that it touched was being thrown in the direction of the fragmented horror that Amaryllis was fighting. Su was flying above Chloe. [color=PeachPuff]”I had no idea that your friend was Penny. If you had said something sooner, I’d have been much more eager to come here and save her.”[/color] She folded her arms. [color=PeachPuff]”Oh, I’m sorry about the scrap thing. The magical girl over there looked like she needed some help. Speaking of which, you owe the two of us a date don’t you?”[/color] Su grinned. [color=PeachPuff]”Why don’t we go to my place? Just let me clean up here first.”[/color] Su flew towards the horror to continue the fight.
