Connie gasped. She had completely forgotten about the armored berserker, who, after slicing through Gaia’s vines and shattering the latest round of nightmare illusions with a single mighty sweep of her weapon, had proceeded to climb up Gaia’s beanstalk, setting it ablaze in the process. From there, the dark magical girl had leapt off to attack Faith. [color=DarkOrchid]“Faith!”[/color] Connie cried out in alarm as she watched her friend be tackled out of the air and smashed into the ground. [color=DarkOrchid]“W-We have to help her!”[/color] Gaia was already springing into action before Connie had even finished her sentence. Commanding the burning beanstalk to bend over towards the ground, she and Connie leapt off it just before the once-mighty stalk was completely reduced to ash. As soon as their feet touched the ground, the two friends rushed over to where Faith was being pinned by the dark warrior. The next few seconds were a dizzying whirlwind of events. First, Connie felt her heart stop as Faith gave voice to a bloodcurdling scream, then a miniature samurai girl appeared out of nowhere to place a barrier between Faith and the warrior, while a dragon seemingly composed of stained glass simultaneously slammed into the dark magical girl’s side. [i]Then,[/i] another girl rushed over to smash her shield into the dark warrior’s head. All these things had the ultimate effect of forcing the armored girl away from Faith, allowing Connie and Mia the space to reach her. Kneeling down next to Faith and the small samurai, Connie gave another sharp gasp when she saw just how badly the fairy girl was wounded. [color=DarkOrchid]“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh…”[/color] Connie whimpered as she began to shake violently at the horrifying sight before her, the masked girl’s concern for her friend overriding any fear she might have had about the combat raging only a few feet away. [color=DarkOrchid]“F-Faith…? I-Is s-she…? I-Is s-she…?”[/color] [color=SpringGreen]“Mother’s Mantel…”[/color] Gaia breathed as she joined Connie beside the fallen fairy girl. [color=SpringGreen]“This looks bad…”[/color] [color=DarkOrchid]“Y-You c-can h-help her, r-right Mia?!”[/color] Connie asked desperately, black tears beginning to trickle down the cheeks of her mask. [color=SpringGreen]“I… I shall certainly try, little sister.”[/color] With a green glow of mystic power, Gaia conjured several mossy bandages and gently placed them over the worst of Faith’s wounds. They only possessed minor healing abilities, but at the very least, they would sooth the fairy girl and staunch some of the bleeding. [color=DarkOrchid]“C-Can you h-help too?”[/color] Connie asked the samurai girl between sobs. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-I s-saw you s-save h-her w-with t-that b-barrier, s-so t-that m-means you have h-healing magic too, r-right?! P-Please! S-She’s my friend! I d-don’t want her to die!”[/color]
