Not that the blasted Greater Horror in the room and someone else hadn't drawn attention first though. Then at least the one girl with the rifle had been chill with her answer. Perhaps the calmest thing that had gone down here, frankly speaking, or would be for the next few minutes. That and someone putting out her patron's fire. Whew. But between the prior purge order and everything else, the pirate's attention was pulled most by something else that rung in her ears. [quote]“Sophia! Just leave!”[/quote] Wha-? Run away, after all of this?! Something was up, and if the one person she was at least most aligned to so far among her peers was going off to help then she was [i]following[/i]. No more sitting around in the middle of some Horror's mess, no letting someone run off wounded, no more waiting around for someone to try to purge or kill her (again)...she was doing something dangit! Why did everyone else get to run around and do things, save the day, have friends and people to talk to...why...[b]why did everyone just continue to leave her behind[/b]?!?! Why did that one girl want to kill her?! Would more of those memories she'd seen give her any answers about her own bloody past?! Did this world have it out to keep her blind?!?! The pirate softly cursed under her breath, fists beginning to clench tightly as she began to run forward. Wings sprouted from her back, and once again she took to the air as she moved to follow Amaryllis through the hole the knight had made in the warehouse. The rest could kill each other off for all she cared, turn each other into bloody trinkets that got stuck on some macabre wall in some patron's mantle. She was going to do her best, even if it killed her to help someone! That was her job, right? She was a magical girl, defender of the weak and afflicted and a fighter for this blasted city!!! Barely arriving on the other end of her ally's destination, however, the winged girl ever so barely arrived in time to see the mafioso from earlier being kneed and grabbed up by some shady-looking dastard. There was also Amaryllis, and that same white tiger, and even that Horror girl who'd helped in that other battle before and just had one arm now! Also a small girl, who seemed to cling to said Horror girl's leg. Then the mafioso seemed to shout aloud, the tiger leapt in for killing, and all hell broke loose with the animals otherwise in the room. Kinda. Had she gotten all of that right? Not like she knew everything, but she knew the asshole of a fedora guy from earlier was associated with Amaryllis somehow. And Amaryllis was not a bad person. Therefore...blast it all. The pirate knew already what she would do as she extended her two hands. A few small golden defensive shields would form out of thin air, guarding Mariette and Sammy from the front and above at least. Meanwhile, Focused Assault power surged extra mana into the Chain Arm as Sophia extended her other hand and shot out chains with an attacking fury as she tried to fire an attack deep enough to latch into and pull out Nuncio. Wasn't like she had time to do much but act right now. Could already hear her patron creaking furiously in her mind for this already, literally so, as the grand ship itself began to swiftly move over to Sophia's location with all the haste of a somewhat still pissed-off and frustrated patron who had just been set on fire and attacked by a veritable kraken not long ago. [color=FF1493]"Give em' back ere', ya' feckin' bastard!"[/color] [center]---[/center] Beyond this, however, Shane would find himself with a set of four large ghostly doubloons appearing in his hand. Each was etched with rather clear and legible markings, however, which read 'All-You-Can-Eat-Ghostly-Pancakes Tokens, only redeemable at the Flying Dutchman'. Were these a...reward for putting the fire out? Cthulhu, in the meantime, seemed to still stand there and watch on as things continue to devolve before her very eyes. At least the main horror threat was out of the way, that much was the best thing about all of this. Even so, unless someone contracted her and asked for help she would not be able to take any more action than being the bystander she was. Even so, she let out a chuckle as Rachael noticed and then literally 'hammered' her potential assailant through the wall. The Ascendancy were kinda assholes, kinda necessary in some cases perhaps, but they did sure know how to fight at least. However, a battlefield-wide voice would soon ring out in the heads of those around there... [color=violet][i]'Just too make a weeensy tiiiiinsey advertisement, if aaaaaaanyone needs a new patron after all of this and likes saving humanity from this kinda stuff and meanie horrors...I am [b]so[/b] totes avaaaaaaailable~! Have a cool underground pad and friends and everything, and this place for reals seems to need some [b]serious[/b] help!

That was a cold as a monster eating the bodies of the desecrated dead! Not only that, but the perpetrator had showed themselves for pity's sake! This was going all kinds of wrong, and nervous flashbacks to when she and Sophia had first woken up in that destroyed graveyard. No, not this again! She would not let this happen again and the pirate-...aaaaaand Sophia had run off after Amaryllis. Crap. This day was just not good, no good at all for the city or anyone here... But more pressingly, she had to do her duty as a magical girl of Beacon right now in this other matter! She couldn't let herself fall victim to fear or trepidation...not again. Please no not again. Channeling the vestiges of her fury, and finally having the true culprit at her fingertips, the maid magical girl attacked Eden with a flurry of blows. Duplicating daggers multiplied and rained out at Eden to try to cut off potentially dodging Alicia's blows, but also sought to fill the area with as many attacks as possible in rapid time. She even threw in small spurts of her magic with some of the thrown daggers, slowing some daggers down in time at varying speeds and creating a veritable wall of space-covering timed attacks. This tragedy would not be in vain. So many had-...no, she could think on her dead sisters and brothers later. She had to, or she couldn't handle doing this right now. She [b]had[/b] to fight.
