[center][h1][color=FF1493]Sophia von Zeerover[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] As she looked back, watching the greater horror leave the boat, watching chain and rubble bound Monster Queen being hefted up in the air...the pirate's attention was not totally on the situation itself. As the heat of battle thrummed in her veins, even as the flaring hunger of her darker side prodded at her psyche to be satiated, one thing stood out above all others. The glint of a familiar silverlight, pale skin, and the teeth of a great and dark maw. Sophia did not even speak, gritting her teeth as her body seemed to move without a second thought and plummeted off of the rear of the Dutchman as it continued to steeply rise up into the rainy skies of Penrose. Brown feathered, hawk-like wings erupted from the girl's back, though rather than flap about they merely helped steer her through the wind and the chill and the rain towards her target. It was almost as if time was moving in slow-motion for her, at least to her perception, though her Boarding Axe and rings and Chain Arm seemed to thrum with magic as she darted like an arrow towards the open maw of the beast. A great maw, a mass of deathly teeth and a slavering tongue, and yet without hesitation the winged pirate dove right into its face (not mouth) with an almighty roar on her lips and her axe already brought up to fire. She could feel the rings on her fingers get hot, as mana surged into them as a little magical barrier coated her body. She could feel the surge of her mana, entering into her Boarding Axe and supercharging its attack and nearly making it shake in her hand. She could even feel as much mana as she could squeeze into the largest possible magical attack she was forcing out, the warm glow of white-hot gunpowder surrounding her body and coating the shimmering golden magical shield now covering her body briefly as she flew in. Though even as the teeth of the monster moved into place about her, even as her whole being fell right into the formerly howling monster's mouth at top speed, her goal was simple... ...Give em' hell. [color=FF1493]"NOT MY ONLY FRIEND YOU BITCH!!!"[/color] If she succeeded, several things would seemingly happen all at once. The pirate's axe would fire off in a mighty blaze of fire and shot and powder that erupted into the monster's face. Even her own body would seemingly erupt in great flame and light, the Focused Assault attack spell erupting off of her briefly shield-covered body like she was a [b]living bomb[/b]. Gunpowder magic in all of its explosive glory would shine like a brilliant star in that moment, shining amidst the dark and the rain and terror that had become prevalent in Penrose at this time. But what of Sophia? Would she succeed in saving her scantily-clad ally? What of the Monster Queen? Would she be stopped for a moment, or perhaps even turn her mouth enough to actually devour the pirate? What of Amaryllis? Would she have a chance to escape? Only [s]the GMs[/s] the following moments would tell. For now, however, for just that very moment the ring of one magical girl's battle cry and the din of explosions might be heard as they tore into the night.

She lashed out with her duplicating knives, throwing them in a concentrated 'fire' as she multiplied and thew them, multiplied them and threw. There wasn't much for her to say, though at least her attack were directly aimed at any allies or the ilk. Yet the former horror girl...wasn't exactly in her best state of mind either. Overcome by the swelling of emotion and raw fury at the disgusting scene and Hyun for eating the dead and deceased, she was attacking with single-minded focus and attention. It was perhaps the most furious and angry she maid had ever been, or perhaps even felt, since her 'creation'. Meanwhile, a certain Greater Horror looked on as she watched the bodies rapidly disappear in the spreading fog. Not paying any mind to the lack of attention on her, however, she seemed content enough to watch on as the magical girls attacked and struck at the now in-the-air monster queen. She seemed to be entranced at the ferocity, the tragedy, and the insanity of the entire situation itself really, though not in a manner that made it come off as thinking light on things. But this was it. The light of humans, fighting for their very lives and world against the things that slithered in the night...A beautiful thing indeed. At least, even if someone working for that big-meanie-head-alien-goddess that had dropped on her head so long ago was somewhere in this area. No hard feelings though~ [hr] [@Ariamis][@ERode][@Flamelord][@twave][@BrokenPromise]
