At the far end of the warehouse a [url=https://safebooru.org/images/2527/399231b16ed278e8a3025129ad1c33942b6870fb.png?2634746]Minotaur girl[/url] extracted Penny’s drone from her cleavage, mainly to get out of her clothes, but also to get a better look at the thing that had fallen in her ‘shirt’. When she extracted the metal ball she gave it a curious look before shrugging and tossing it over her shoulder not seeing any reason to care about the metallic oddity.

She continued on her way to the bar before sitting down next to a [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/54/e9/20/54e92084ec2d162c61d22daa840f526c.jpg]towering horned girl[/url] who seemed to be knocking drinks back like they were water. [color=#FD0E14]“That’s two more already passed out”[/color] The Minotaur would say succinctly as she sat down [color=#FD0E14]“At this rate there’s not going to be any space in an hour”[/color] she complained as she sipped from a tumbler.

[color=#14E6C3]“Ya knew that this was going to be the case loooong before tonight”[/color] her drinking companion said briskly whipping her mouth with the back of her hand as she finished off another drink. [color=#14E6C3]“So why you complainin’ now? It’ll pay off once everything hits the fan and you know that”[/color]

[color=#FD0E14]“True”[/color] The smaller girl would let out a sigh [color=#FD0E14]“I would like the chance to enjoy my drink however”[/color]

[color=#14E6C3]“Drink faster”[/color]

Unseen to either of the girls now drinking at the bar, or most others within the rave, the metallic sphere that the Mino-girl had tossed over her shoulder never hit the ground. It stabilized itself midair before quickly rising to the ceiling before reopening the cover on its single lens. Penny had close it shut shortly after it came to rest within the sizable bust of the unnamed girl, figuring that if it would be open she would be much more likely to simply crush her drone before moving on.

Now that she was inside, and not being randomly assaulted, she ran a quick diagnostic while the drone floated over the crowd below.

[color=4F8092][u]“Eye is inside”[/u][/color] Penny would relay to the Ascendency over the comms [color=4F8092][u]“Audio is a no go,”[/u][/color] Which wasn’t much of a surprise, even if the real reason was more to do with the fact that the speaker on her drone had been damaged when it got kicked across the room [color=4F8092][u]“But I’ve got a good angle on the main room. Cindy is not present but I have visual on our girls”[/u][/color] [color=4F8092][i]‘And on Veronica’[/i][/color] she would confirm to herself, moments before noticing who it was that Veronica was talking too.

[color=4F8092][i]‘This just keeps building’[/i][/color] [color=4F8092][u]“Confirmation on Justine as well”[/u][/color] She would add knowing that at this point there was very little that Penny could do to limit the damage for when this all kicked off. [color=4F8092][u]“I’m going to scout the rest of the premise, see if there are any more surprises in store for us.”[/u][/color] She would inform them before she piloted the drone off towards the other rooms to try and get a full picture of where everyone was.

She had a bad feeling about all of this, and she was going to need an accurate layout of this place, and soon if she was going to be able to help when the all of this came to a head.

[color=fff79a]“No, don’t need anything”[/color] The solitary Aurelio clone in front of Hilaria would say giving the dark girl a measuring look. [color=fff79a]“Some advice, if you want it, is ignoring sudden and unexpected emotions like that tend not to be a good idea in the long run.”[/color] He would say before giving her a slight bow. [color=fff79a]“Have a nice night, and hopefully a good meal soon”[/color] 
That clone would head back to his teammates, the ones who hadn’t run off, [color=fff79a]“Shall we continue ladies? I can catch up later after all”[/color] The Phone clone would wordlessly step back in line with the others, still tapping away at the phone.

Over at the park the real Aurelio was already moving to stand, as he could feel the panicked Dorothy barreling in his direction. It wouldn’t be long after he stood that he saw the two of them come racing across the rooftops. Another moment later and Dorothy was sprawled out in the dirt in front of him and it wouldn’t be a moment later then he would flow into action.

His can would be drawn and stabbed into the ground in one fluid motion. From the point of impact a large green shield would form from nothing blocking Kimble’s assault. At the same time behind the shield an area of Calm and Trust would settle as another Aurelio would fade into existence wearing a dark blue outfit.

Once Kimble came to a stop, even for a moment she would see the shield split open down the middle and Aurelio walk out of it wearing a rather annoyed look. [color=fff79a]“Alright, I think an Explanation is in order don’t you?”[/color] The magician would ask as he folded his arms across his chest. [color=fff79a]“How about you start with why your treating her like an enemy?[/color]

Behind the shield Dorothy would not see the shield open. She would instead just bear witness to two Aurelio’s talking with each other. [color=fff79a]“You think we are going to be able to calm Kimble?”[/color] asked the Blue clad one.

[color=fff79a]“I hope so. Shouldn’t be too much of an issue if it is the reason I’m thinking it is”[/color] The White one would say pivoting on his cane to face his blue clone.

[color=fff79a]“Odds on that being the case?”[/color] 

[color=fff79a]“Longer then I would like them to be”[/color] He would answer with a sigh, before at last turning to face the, hopefully calmed, bunny girl. [color=fff79a]“Sorry about that. Not entirely sure why Kimble raced off after you like that, I’m hoping it’s just a holdover from her own purification. She used to a cat girl”[/color] he would explain with a warm smile as he sat down where he was.

[color=fff79a]“My name is Aurelio, as mentioned I’m in a position at Beacon where I can offer you purification without having to run it past anyone.”[/color] He would go on to say as he pulled a White Coin out of his jacket pocket [color=fff79a]“There are two options that we have at our disposal. The quicker route would be that you use this, though it does come with a catch, It will swap your patron over to Beacon”[/color] He would say holding the White Coin up so that Dorothy could see it [color=fff79a]“The other option is that we wait here for one of the purification team to reach us so that we can get a ritual set up. I’ve not called them, so right now it’s just you me and Kimble.”[/color]

[color=fff79a]“If you want to use the Coin I’ll pass it off to my clone”[/color] He would nod at the blue clad version of him [color=fff79a]“Who will carry it over to you.  Then once you use it I’ll take you to HQ to help you go through the orientation. If you want to wait for the purification team I’ll sit with you and wait and once you’re turned back into a magical girl it’s your choice if you want to join Beacon to head you own way. No strings”[/color]

[color=fff79a]“So which option do you want to take?”[/color]

With a drink in one hand and her prize in the other Viva retreated back into one of the various side halls that dotted the building. She didn’t want to be interrupted, and she wasn’t sure if what she was going to do would spill out into the rest of the party, not that she would mind either way.

Once she was situated she reached into her Hammer space and pulled out the corpse of the lich she had helped take out a week ago. She would lay it out on the table, stopping for a moment to notice that there were sparks of a greenish magic flying off the body. A moment later she would simply shrug and turn her attention towards the red egg in her hand. It was such a simple looking thing, but Viva knew better then to assume that was all it had to offer.

In her hand was a gift, once she consumed it two things would happen for certain. One was the fact that Viva would no longer be without a Patron, the Second was that she would no longer be fully human, though it might take a bit of time for the energies of the egg to finalize her evolution to a Monster girl.

With one last moment of wonder Viva bit into the blood colored egg and drank freely of the blackened goo that was contained within it. At the first rush of corruption that swept through her she gave into her dark desires and began feasting on her prized meal. Any who had the misfortune of interrupting her would find themselves becoming her next meal if they weren’t lucky.

As luck would have it, the well spring of corruption would be contained within the room that Viva had chosen, locked in due to the overpowering Aura of the Monster Queen elsewhere within the building. Otherwise the corrupting influence could have caused who knows how much chaos.
