"Thank you, book lady." The voice of Ai fidgetted, before she and her mother exited through the portal, back to the relative safety of her old home. That was the deal breaker for Yui. She was getting out of this city as soon as possible.

Meanwhile Kamy looked at the new girl's eyes. She was a downcast, battered little thing, but she seemed to have useful powers. It would do no good if she started ordering her around in her fragile state so she... shuddered and made the body contact humans were more known for, cradling Tenebra's face beneath her hands and drawing her close.

[b]"Can you do a little thing for me, child? Then we all get home, and you shall have food and refreshments. As well as handling funeral rites." [/b]Umukamui said to Theresa, and whispered into her ear, while the corpses of the two magical girls disappeared somewhere in Umukamui's teleporting signature move.

The girl silently nodded.

And both disappeared from the Overcity...

Sakura's antics with the half naked Shoggy were cut short by the telltalle smell of gore and seared flesh. Her neck snapped to see the gross spectacle that had been the beasts attack, as she gritted her teeth and still tried to keep herself on her feet, despite how tiring this was.

"That looks painful!" chirped the half-horror naked girl wrapped in a pink blanket with ribbons. That wasn't helpful.

"W..hy...didn't you... dooodge!??!" Sakura let an exasperated growl at the situation. She had no healing powers. Emily was a fire user. Shoggy was just something you'd find after three months in a fridge. Umukamui was a sexy jerk who would not meddle directly, and the new silver haired girl looked a bit eerie and loopy on her own.

Hold on.

"GAH!" Sakura jumped off her feet at seeing the two newcomers materialized from thin air. "What the hell, titty rat!?" The young-looking magical girl chastised.

[b]"I was off... recruiting. Meet Tenebra." [/b]Kamy said, as she crossed her arms, her sight now resting on Shoggy. 

"Hi." said the new, frazzled girl. "And don't call mother like that." She added. "Or you are going to have a bad time." 

Sakura raised an eyebrow at the circumstances, looking at Emily, then at Umukamui, then at the newest girl who did not look like the sharpest knife in the drawer, then at the scene. "Uh, we need healing, actually." She pointed at the situation.

"I can help. I got this." said the newest silver-haired weirdo, with shaky words as she just...floated away towards the wounded, healing sphere in hand.

"Shoggy can help too! She has nice cleansing hugs." The horror girl added, before being cut short by Umukamui.

[b]"Shoggy... by any chance... did you [i]revert[/i]?" [/b]The female-form puchuu said, eyes like daggers.

"Yes?"

[b]"Back to the jar with you."[/b] Umukamui frowned, as she pulled the same jar where the magical girl had been once stored, which then proceed to create a magical vacuum and absorb the horror girl entirely before she could object.

"Oi you rat bastard..." Sakura grumbled. Shoggy was stupid and disgusting in her appearance, but that did not mean she could be handled like instant soup.

[b]"It will only be temporary. I have assignments for her and the new girl. Outside the city. They will protect your... family's new city."[/b] Umukamui said. [b]"As they're going to be evacuated, to a safer place."[/b] Kamy added.[b] "They got caught in a riot. My apologies. They weren't hurt... but it was a harrowing experience. Lily did fend the attackers off, though."
[/b]

That was it. Sakura reached her limit again. Growing extremely silent, her leg whipped out like a snake, landing with a sickening crunch on Kamy's face. Teeth were broken alongside the jaw. But the... human simulacrum did not budge one second, before rolling her eyes. 

[b]"Feeling better? You're lucky the new girl did not see this. She has a strong emotional attachment."[/b] The Puchuu talked, disregarding the bloody mouth and the broken jaw.

"Do you have ice in your veins you fucking asshole... or what?" She whispered to herself, nursing her sore leg. Well, at least things were more or less done for the day. She couldn't wait to plot down next to Emily in a couch and watch cheesy movies until sleep.

"Heh, Blood is the color of life." Reaver said, amusing the jest. "Pardon me if I don't laugh but I will bleed even more, my lady." The knight said, as he breathed in relief seeing the healing artifact repair his body even further. With the boost of healing, he doubled his efforts into leaving the scene. "I beg you pardon, but do you know of shelter by any chance? After my fight, I do need to make myself scarce for a while." He said.

He pondered. Was he being too straightforward with this woman? Why was he trusting her so far. It was a warm, soothing feeling for some reason. Familiar. He had never felt like this. No other woman had managed to make him drop his defenses so easily, and with Chloe's betrayal he should have been more wary around her.

But why could not he? Was she a psychic? She did not look like a psychic user. 

Why did she feel so familiar, anyway?
