[color=9b83de]‘Alright, thank you! Let’s go, Valkyrie!’[/color] Ronin grinned and thanked the guards, moving right ahead like she was the one who knew where to go for some reason. When they came in, she had to take a moment to look around in amazement and just go, like, [color=9b83de]‘Woah. I knew this place was grand, but [i]woah[/i]. I need to get out more often. I want a griffon,’[/color] she randomly commented, and then turned to grin at Valkyrie.

[color=9b83de]‘Come on! Let’s get to Magical Services and find Jill already, then! Not a moment to waste!’[/color] so she said, then turned and dashed headlong into the Overcity with no trace of fear at the unknown, arms spread as she embraced the child inside her for now, excitedly starting to explore the city and see what it had to offer, making her way eventually towards the Magical Services under the assumption that Valkyrie ensured she wasn’t getting lost. Then again, if she did, she’d just ask the next passerby for directions, regardless of what this passerby might be~

Mariette quickly bent out of the way as her tentacles managed to free her from Billy, a portal swiftly opening to allow her to land in an adjacent building onto her stomach. She breathed heavily as she swiftly closed what she’d come through and opened a new one to watch what was going on from a distance. … That was some transformation…

Meanwhile, Eli watched as the shell of the firetruck came off and it dispatched the rest of the minions like, lolwut minions. It definitely has larger than mid-range range on that tail. Then Eli’s Third Eye told her where all the bad guy’s power was coming for that was possibly the key to this entire encounter. Oh, and Amaryllis was binding up Billy in an attempt to deliver the final blow, something they likely couldn’t do without the knowledge Eli held.

Well. No time like the present, Eli figured.

Eli leapt from the skyscraper, molding her hands into her wings again to make her slimy wings larger as she glode down closer towards the site of the battle, but not close enough to get into combat. Time to shout all she knew.

[color=57a345]‘HIS POWERS COME FROM THE HOOD ORNAMENT AT THE HILT OF HIS CLUB!’[/color] Eli shouted, and then dove out of the way just in case some form of attack came her way. [color=57a345]‘AND DON’T LET THAT MONSTER JOIN UP WITH HIM!’[/color] she then shouted, mostly to Hilaria but also to anyone who’d hear, pointing towards the monster that had come out of the firetruck.

Mariette, at this time, had heard Amaryllis request and seen how the chains started to fire around Billy in an attempt to restrain him.

[color=077ae6]‘Hmpf,’[/color] Mariette made a discontent noise, but it seemed it was needed. Very well. Time to try out her light-and-portal combo against her first real opponent.

Mariette shot straight forward inside the room she’d found herself in. She shot multiple times, each time she did two portals appeared and caught the blast. She waved her hand-mirror magical weapon conducting a symphony as more and more shining blasts of light was caught in a loop of portals illuminating the room, more and more magical power gathering, a rave of magical destructive light as more and more blasts of power joined the mix. Then, she brought all the portals together, decreasing the distance between them, creating a globe of her portals surrounding the mass of light that was being concentrated further and further, the might of the blast she was creating scaling upwards. She heard Eli’s scream through the portal. Very well, then.

Mariette stepped through her own portal, arriving above the scene looking at it with her bare eyes. She wanted it to be known who was commanding the barrage that was coming. Now, barrage wasn’t one of her powers, but with some given time, she could arrange something similar. She pointed her hand-mirror forward, and an array of portals spread open behind her, and along with an additional blast of light from her hand-mirror came a single, enormous burst of all her concentrated lights firing down upon Billy. A single instant blast of light-magic, more than a few of which aimed for that hood ornament mentioned, but a lot was also aimed just to blast Billy basically everywhere. For the message.

This did take a decent portion of Mariette’s magical font reserves. Well, it wasn’t like she was intending on taking on many more opponents today. This one would do.
