[color=tomato]“FUUUUUUUUUU-”[/color]

[color=888888]— Su Fang & Mika Sarraf[/color][/center]

[sub][@Vocab][@Flamelord][/sub]

The cat girl let out a triumphant sigh at her victory. Something she had learned after provoking a troll was that while hitting first is good, hitting last was more so. She was fortunate that she got both this time. 

Mika was snapped out of her thoughts when Helga pulled her off of Christine. [color=tomato]“What was I doing?”[/color] Mika tipped her head. It was a simple question, but Mika wasn’t sure she could begin to explain it. Certainly not with Rina and Alicia present. 

Then came a bunch of events that confused Mika. A report on the loudspeakers, though she thought it was a psychic message because she didn’t notice them. There was a lot of panicked talking, and apparently they were in a VOID ROOM, whatever that was. Though she noticed once her body reverted back to normal, she couldn’t change anymore. There was also another person in a metal shell. She couldn’t see them, but she could hear them coughing. That looked kind of dangerous. Mika wouldn’t want to be in a metal dome with dragons so close.

Rina shrugged at Alicia's apology. [color=chocolate]"Hey, at least you tried. Not like anyone else did better."[/color]

Su fret her brow. [color=PeachPuff]“I would Helga, if I could.”[/color] Su gestured to the walls. [color=PeachPuff]“This box, area, it’s blocking my magic. It’s like I’m not a magical girl anymore.”[/color] She pointed at the wall. [color=PeachPuff]“Except I can sense an empty room on the other side of the wall. Break it down!”[/color] It was possible the void room didn’t extend past the wall, which would mean they’d get their magic back. [color=PeachPuff]“Now Mika…”[/color]

But Mika was not nearby. She was too busy being a [s]madlad[/s] hero.

[color=chocolate]"I can’t believe I’m doing this!"[/color]

Mika was strong and swift, but Rina was more so. She held Mika in her arms and ran head long towards Fanfan’s metal barrier. She was carrying Mika bridal style, with the cat girl content to lounge in her arms. 

[color=tomato]“We’re gunna save everyone!”[/color] Mika punched the air.

Rina chuckled. [color=chocolate]"Pffft, you’re still going on a diet after this."[/color] 

Mika looked at Rina with squint eyes. [color=tomato]“You can still carry me, right?”[/color]

[color=chocolate]"But how far can I launch you?"[/color] 

Mika tucked her knees against her chest as Rina held the her up to her shoulder. The cat girl placed her feet on Rina’s arm and launched herself towards the metal dome. Magic was out of the question, but her adamantium claws were perfectly capable of cutting through inferior metals. 

[color=tomato]“Berserker Barrage!”[/color]

[color=PeachPuff]“Tch!”[/color] Helga had already broken down the wall. Much like Su had suspected, the lightning was flowing past the void room and didn’t enter the room behind it. [color=PeachPuff]“I’ll get us out of here, see if you can help them.”[/color] Su hovered into the air as she wound up her shift. 

Fanfan’s giant metal arms made her a bit cumbersome to carry. Though together, Rina and Mika were able to each take an arm and run towards Helga at a decent clip. The void room was starting to fail, and they’d have blessed lightning dragons nipping at their heels soon. Though that changed when Helga got to them. Her superior strength made carrying Fanfan by herself a cinch. Rina and Mika ran on either side of Helga as they closed in on Su. As they ran, Mika’s eyes drifted to Christine, who was propped up on the wall.

Mika didn’t really hate Christine. She empathized with her a bit. Up until a moment ago, she too thought Alicia was a bad girl. In that sense Mika shared a sort of kinship, in that she could understand where she was coming from. As she ran past her, she pulled the girl onto her back. 

As they neared Su, the void room spell faltered and flickered out. A lightning dragon opened it’s maws wide and zoomed towards the magical girls in its path. They would never reach Su before the lightning consumed them.

But the Void wall failing was good for Su too. She had already locked onto another girl’s shift and would be able to bring everyone nearby with her. She threw out her arms and a vacuum bubble [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c56YDp2WuRU&list=]expanded[/url], ensnaring all in side and taking them to the overcity.

Once the shift was done, Su breathed a sigh of relief. Her surroundings were alien to her, but that was fine. Mushrooms and garbage bins were better than getting swallowed by an electric dragon.

Su turned to look at everyone. Helga had Fanfan across her back, Mika had Christine, And Rina was thumping her foot on the ground. 

[color=chocolate]"I knew something like this was going to happen."[/color] Rina shook her head, but didn’t say anything else. 

[color=PeachPuff]“I didn’t.”[/color] At least, not this bad. Su looked at everyone else. [color=PeachPuff]“Everyone alright?”[/color]

[color=tomato]“Yup!”[/color] Mika said, and a swirling portal opened up behind her. 

Su raised an eyebrow. [color=PeachPuff]“You’re going to the beach dimension?”[/color]

[color=tomato]“And you’re not?”[/color] Mika laughed. 

[color=PeachPuff]“You didn’t come when Helga called you.”[/color]

[color=tomato]“I uh.”[/color] Mika lowered her head, but only long enough to think of a response. [color=tomato]“I’m sorry mommy. I’ve just been feeling a little down by everything recently. The only reason why I didn’t come back was because I needed to see something.”[/color] She gave Christine a shake. [color=tomato]“I think I might have saved someone, so I don’t think it’s bad.”[/color]

Su sighed. It was true, what Mika did was heroic. She found it hard to justify punishing such an action. [color=PeachPuff]“I think what you did was very brave, but it scares me when you do dangerous things without Helga or I. Just take one of us with you next time.”[/color] She turned to Rina. [color=PeachPuff]“Thank you for everything Rina, would you mind keeping her company a bit longer? I need to clear up a few things here.”[/color]

[color=chocolate]"Yea, I don’t mind, it would be my pleasure."[/color] Rina examined Christine. [color=chocolate]"Who is that, anyway?"[/color]

[color=tomato]“Lets find out! Our date has just begun!”[/color] Mika and Rina entered the portal along with Christine. [color=tomato]“See you guys back at the hotel!”[/color] she said before it shut.

[color=PeachPuff]“Alright Helga, I think you can put her down now.”[/color] After Fanfan was on her feet, Su presented her with a tissue that she kept in her hammerspace handbag. She was prepared to ask her what happened when a burning light was thrown against her back. [color=PeachPuff]“Right, I’m going to see what that was.”[/color] It wasn’t typical for Su to display affection openly, but she kissed Helga on the cheek and patted her shoulder. [color=PeachPuff]“I’ll be right back. See if she knows what happened.”[/color] Su turned to Askefye and Vivi They were in shouting distance so Su didn’t have to take many steps to approach the two. She coughed in an attempt to get their attention. 

[color=PeachPuff]“I take it you two just left the rave?”[/color]

[b]”I ain’t afraid of nobody taking me.”[/b] Nuncio folded his arms. [b]”Besides, Nu can pull me out if things get hairy.”[/b] Nuncio looked around, patting Sammy a bit before leaning in to Eli. [b]”Also I’d kinda just like to see where you guys live.”[/b] He leaned backwards and ajusted his hat. [b]”And I told ya, I don’t trust any of my hiding spots. Gotta be a place unaffiliated with me. ”[/b]
