Dolly watched Veronica's elation in silence. The rain continued to fall with increasing force, and the wind was howling too now, a continuous scream pierced by the crackling of lightning and the burst of thunder. The storm was growing in might, but her umbrella was unmoved by all elemental forces.

[color=ccddee]"One killing blow, five barrages, or ten focused assaults by a singular, powerful magical girl will cause it to revert,"[/color] the monochromatic girl responded. [color=ccddee]"Extreme weather is of no concern. Immunity against non-magical damage is a common trait in our line of work."[/color]

What wasn't said should be clear. Once it became string, it was simply a matter of redoing the ritual to reform the tower.

[color=ccddee]"Do you have any other questions or concerns?"[/color]

The rain continued to fall. It did nothing.

They got out alive. They got out alive, and there were no unnecessary deaths, save for the girl that Rosa mauled.

Heel skidding against rain, Amaryllis let out a sigh of relief. Sammy was alive and whole. No one was hurt. Nuncio had his girlfriend back, and though they may have to go in hiding for a bit, it didn't right at this moment. They could go have a good meal once all this was done. They could probably all relax and go for a nice, hot bath once this was all done.

The rain fell like a waterfall, soaking the Knight of Rose to the bone and numbing the phantom pains of her Sword.

This was not done, yet.

A tower stood where there had not been one before. Magical girls rushed out from the warehouse, bloodied and burned. Brilliant lights surged from within that building, and the earth itself shook as [i]something[/i] set its foot down upon the world. The hunger of her Sword, its feast denied too many times in the last couple of days.

[color=778899]"Safeguard and nurse her to health, Nuncio,"[/color] Amaryllis spoke, stepping off to the edge of the roof. [color=778899]"The birth of monstrosities calls for my Silverlight once more, and I must depart. Perhaps while seeking shelter, you could...find us a good place to eat, after we have settled all our accounts."[/color]

And with that, Amaryllis stepped off, from the roof onto her silvered buds. Launching herself freely through the air, the Knight of Rose sent a quick message off to Sophia, pinging her with the location of the radio tower, before she landed upon the tip of the strange construction. Even through the veil of rain, she could see it. Scarlet attire and golden hair, the hallmarks of the scion of Hallewell. Her Sword shone, reflecting the flash of lightning. It could taste the corruption already.

But Amaryllis was not there to strike her down.

Landing down to the base of the tower in a burst of fine mist, the knight with amethyst eyes posed a single question.

[color=778899]"What happened?"[/color]
