The shining city. The gleaming beacon of hope and promise. The gateway to progress and prosperity. Silverburg has been called all these things and more. Thus, it should come as little surprise that it is seen by many as the utter antithesis of its neighbor to the east, blighted and luckless Penrose. Where Penrose is an anarchic cesspool of warring factions, both Sliverburg’s magical and mundane communities are orderly and cooperative, working together to keep their beloved city safe and peaceful. In the mundane world, this takes the form of a wise and benevolent city council, aided by a robust and forward-thinking chamber of commerce. The latter of these is guided by the insightful hand of Lodovico Demiris, CEO of Demiris Defense Systems, one of the world’s most powerful megacorporations. 

On the more magical side of things, the city is protected by a surprisingly small, but exceedingly well-organized group of magical girls. In an incredibly uncommon state of affairs, they are actually well known by the city’s civilian populace. Operating under the guise of the Silverburg Magical Girl Cosplay Society, they take part in numerous community service projects and charity events. Indeed, thanks to Lodovico Demiris’s own daughter being one of their members, they even have access to their own state-of-the-art headquarters, located at the pinnacle of Silverburg Spire, right above the headquarters of Demiris Defense Systems. Even the recent influx of refugees from disaster-stricken Penrose has done little to dampen the city’s optimism, its residents welcoming the new arrivals with open arms. Yes, Silverburg is certainly a safe, friendly, and peaceful place to live, free from crime, danger, and disasters.

It is also incredibly [i]boring.[/i]

All problems are solved swiftly and efficiently, with exceedingly minimal damage to property and absolutely zero loss of life. Feuds and power plays among the major magical and mundane factions of the city are non-existent. Everyone gets along with each other. Yes, there is certainly a good reason why not even a single story has taken place here. At least, until [i]now…[/i]

To be fair, our tale does not actually take place within the bounds of Silverburg proper, but rather in a location nestled within the mountains west of the city: the primary R&D facility of Demiris Defense Systems. Tonight, this highly secure and secretive installation is about to have a [i]most[/i] unexpected visitor…

For this is the story of…

[center][color=DeepPink]Starring Magical Dream Princess~! (giggle!)[/color]

[color=888888]-Magical Dream Princess[/color][/center]

Within a cavernous testing chamber, a swirling, multi-colored vortex of mystic energy formed a short distance above the chamber’s floor. A moment later, a girl dropped out of it and landed with a cute pose. Noticing that the speed of her decent had forced her skirt up, she gave a sharp gasp.

[color=DeepPink]“Ooopsies~!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess called out, while placing her hand over her mouth in an exaggerated pose of embarrassment. [color=DeepPink]“Like, super sorries about the PANTY SHOT~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess is just wearing such a super duper cute pair that she just, like, totally had to show them off~! (giggle!) Wowie zowie~!”[/color] she exclaimed as she smiled up at the portal she had arrived through. [color=DeepPink]“That was, like, so super duper fun~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess can’t wait to do it again~! Like, super duper thankie wankies, mister magical portal thingie~! (giggle!) Bye bye for nowies~!”[/color] she added with a childish wave as the portal winked out of existence.

Looking around, Magical Dream Princess was disappointed to discover that no one had been present to see her cute panties. In fact, there seemed to be no one here at all…

[color=DeepPink]“Aww... There's, like, no one here... That makes Magical Dream Princess really super duper sad...”[/color] the cute magical girl said with a sullen frown. In fact, she looked like she was on the verge of tears. [color=DeepPink]“She, like, really wanted people to play with her... Sniff... Oh~!”[/color] she suddenly exclaimed, her demeanor brightening to its usual overwhelmingly cheerful state. [color=DeepPink]“But, maybe that's, like, actually a [i]good[/i] thingie wingie~! Magical Dream Princess is on, like, a totally wotally super duper secret mission, after all~! (giggle!) Golly wolly~! Magical Dream Princess is, like, such a super duper dummy when she's like this~! (giggle!)”[/color]

Just then, an ear-piercing alarm sounded, while warning lights flashed, bathing the chamber in a harsh red glow. 

“Intruder alert! Intruder alert!” an artificial voice repeated.

However, if any of this was supposed to frighten a potential intruder, it failed miserably in the case of Magical Dream Princess. 

[color=DeepPink]“Golly wolly~! (giggle!)”[/color] she shouted with the biggest smile of childish delight. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess was totally wotally wrong~! Everyone just wanted to surprise her~! (giggle!) Oh, wowies~! (giggle!)”[/color] she added looking around with innocent wonderment. [color=DeepPink]“So many pretty lights just for her~!”[/color]

Unfortunately for the childishly innocent magical girl, the lights and alarms both ceased after a disappointingly short time, leaving her in dullness and silence once again.

[color=DeepPink]“Awww… All the pretty lights went bye bye… Bye bye~!”[/color] she called cheerfully, standing on her tiptoes and energetically waving her arm like a little kid.

It was only then, that Magical Dream Princess took the time to fully take note of her surroundings.  The cute magical girl found herself in the middle of a war-torn cityscape, filled with ugly, gray buildings and scattered piles of rubble. The virtual atmospheric and weather systems were all deactivated, so she could see that she was in a large, artificial chamber, but that just made things even [i]more[/i] gloomy and depressing. Still, this place felt somewhat familiar…

[color=DeepPink]“Ohh~! Emm~! Geee~!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess cried as her eyes widened with sudden recognition. [color=DeepPink]“This place is just like that fake city thingie Daddy has! These meanie heads are total wotal copy wopy cats!”[/color] she declared, placing her hands on her hips in a pose of exaggerated indignation, which still managed to look utterly adorable. [color=DeepPink]“Humpf!”[/color] she grumbled, while folding her arms over her chest. [color=DeepPink]“Like, this placey wacey isn’t gonna have the stuffy wuffy Magical Dream Princess needs to find for Daddy… Oh well~!”[/color] she added in a far more bubbly tone as she twirled around with her arms extended. [color=DeepPink]“That just means she’ll have to, like, look somewhere else~! (giggle!)”[/color]

[color=LightYellow]“Oh, [i]you’re[/i] not going [i]anywhere,[/i]”[/color] a condescending voice told her.

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ewNRs0a.png[/img][/center]

Her reverie having been shattered, Magical Dream Princess discovered that the voice belonged to a [url=https://imgur.com/6QXQqPP]blonde-haired young woman in somewhat skimpy military attire[/url], who was pointing an assault rifle at her. Six additional young women in similar outfits had also taken up positions to surround her. But if this show of force was supposed to intimidate the ditzy magical girl, her adversaries would soon find that they had succeeded in provoking a very different reaction…

[color=DeepPink]“Yaaaaay~!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess cheered, her eyes practically glistening with joy. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess finally has people to play with her~! (giggle!) Do you girls know any funsie wunsie games? Magical Dream Princess knows lotsie wotsie, but she never got to play any wany of them because Daddy Waddy wouldn’t let her! But now she can play them all with her new friends~! (giggle!)”[/color] 

[color=IndianRed]“[i]Seriously?[/i]”[/color]

[color=LightCoral]“Is this girl for real?”[/color] [url=https://imgur.com/Ehwxkkx]a pair of redheaded twins[/url] asked with raised eyebrows.

[color=LightYellow]“[i]You’re[/i] certainly an original one,”[/color] the blonde noted with a chuckle. [color=LightYellow]“But, sure, we can play a game. It’s called ‘we beat you to a bloody pulp and then throw your carcass into a deep, dark pit where you’ll spend the rest of your life’. How does that sound?”[/color]

[color=DeepPink]“Hmmm… Magical Dream Princess doesn’t think she likes the soundy woundy of [i]that[/i] game…”[/color]

[color=LightYellow]“That’s too bad,”[/color] the blonde replied. [color=LightYellow]“‘Cause [i]you[/i] don’t get a say in the matter!”[/color]

An instant later, the seven girls sprung into action. Five of them kept their weapons trained on Magical Dream Princess, while the blonde and [url=https://imgur.com/6pYBb8C]a silver-haired girl[/url] darted forward and drove the stocks of their rifles into her face and stomach. Simultaneously, and to Magical Dream Princess’s great shock, a pair of thick metal binders appeared to pin her feet to the floor, preventing her from dodging her opponents’ blows, never mind escaping.

At least, it certainly [i]appeared[/i] that way…

As it happened, Magical Dream Princess had no interest in escaping. For the moment, she was content to simply bat the rifles away with a massive frilly pillow. The next thing her two assailants knew, their weapons had [i]also[/i] become pillows, albeit of a slightly smaller size.

[color=DeepPink]“Oh, goodie woodie~!”[/color] the childish magical girl cheered with delight. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess always wanted to have a pillow fight~! (giggle!) They’re, like, so much super duper fun, but you gotta watch out for the sneaky weaky Tickle Wickle Monster~! (giggle!)”[/color]

At that, a cloud of swirling pink smoke formed in front of the two startled girls. It grew in size until it towered over them, before taking a form that resembled a child’s rendition of an octopus with a large smiley face. Before either girl could react, they found themselves wrapped in its tentacles, while the creature began to tickle them relentlessly. Wasting no time, their five comrades opened fire on the monster, the hail of bullets, mixed with a smattering of energy bolts, quickly shredding it to pieces.

[color=DeepPink]“Hey!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess shouted angrily. [color=DeepPink]“That was, like, super duper mean! Like, [i]everyone[/i] knows that you stop a Tickle Wickle Monster by tickle wickling it back, not by shooting your meanie weanie guns at it! Humpf! You girls are just a bunch of meanie weanie heads!”[/color] she declared with an adorable pout, while throwing her pillow on the ground. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess is gonna go find some other friends to play with!”[/color] she added, before dissolving the shackles on her feet in a swirl of pink mist and reforming them into a cutesy pogo stick. [color=DeepPink]“Byiiieee~!”[/color] she called out as she bounced away.

[color=LightYellow]“F-Fucking bitch…”[/color] the blonde girl hissed as she struggled to get to her feet, her weapon having returned to normal. [color=LightYellow]“What the hell are you waiting for?!”[/color] she snarled at her team. [color=LightYellow]“Get after her!”[/color]

“Roger!” they acknowledged, before sprinting off.

However, they didn’t get far before the next wave of their adversary’s innocently unintentional resistance made itself known.

[color=DeepPink]“Hmmm… This place is, like, so super duper ugly wugly!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess observed as she bounced along. [color=DeepPink]“But Magical Dream Princess knows just how to fix that~! (giggle!)”[/color]

Summoning her magic wand, she waved it around her, causing a shower of glitter to spray across the ruined cityscape. Within mere moments, the crumbling buildings were transformed into whimsical pastel palaces, while lampposts became colorful lollipops and piles of rubble turned into mounds of pillows and cute stuffed animals.

[color=IndianRed]“The fuck is [i]this[/i] shit?!”[/color] One of the redheads roared in stunned disbelief.

[color=LightCoral]“I know right?”[/color] her twin concurred. [color=LightCoral]“This is almost as bad as that Djinn we fought in Iraq…”[/color]

[color=Silver]“Cut the chatter you two!”[/color] the silver-haired girl snapped. [color=Silver]“This girl clearly has reality warping abilities of some kind, so we need to be dialed in to the max if we want to have any chance of stopping her.”[/color]

[color=LightYellow]“Couldn’t have said it better myself, Two,”[/color] the blonde added. [color=LightYellow]“Alright, Four, Five, put on some speed and see if you can get ahead of her. Two and I’ll tail her and try and force her your way, once you’re in ambush position.”[/color]

[color=LightCoral]“Rog[/color][color=IndianRed]er!”[/color] the redheads responded in unison.

[color=LightYellow]“Six, Seven,”[/color] the blonde called to a pair of girls armed with heavy weapons. [color=LightYellow]“Take up an elevated position in a location with a clear LOS on the target.”[/color]

[color=Tan]“Got it,[/color] [color=SlateGray]Boss,”[/color] the pair acknowledged, before heading out. 

[color=LightYellow]“Three,”[/color] the blonde added, addressing [url=https://imgur.com/YJ1cZOS]a longhaired brunette.[/url] [color=LightYellow]“Stick with ‘em. Something tells me they’ll need the firepower boost.”[/color]

[color=Sienna]“Y-Yessir!”[/color] the girl stammered, looking slightly unsure of herself.

[color=SlateGray]“And [i]you[/i] said security detail would be boring,”[/color] [url=https://imgur.com/7upU5yR]the heavy weapon girl with short, dark hair holding an advanced energy rifle[/url] snarked at her [url=https://imgur.com/VqIPwgB]machine gun wielding comrade.[/url]

[b]“Dee doo deet!”[/b] bleeped a small spider-like drone perched on the shorthaired girl’s shoulder.

[color=SlateGray]“Yeah, you’re right, buddy,”[/color] she told the robot with a grin. [color=SlateGray]“She [i]did[/i] practically ask for it.”[/color]  

After only a short while, the trio found themselves in front of the tallest structure in the whimsical cityscape, a fantasy-style castle tower fit for Rapunzel herself. It also had a cartoony face, which smiled at them as they approached.

“Hello there!” it called jovially. “Are you girls playing war?”

[color=Sienna]“U-Uhh… Y-Yes…?”[/color] The longhaired brunette replied uncertainly.

“Oh, happy day!” the tower cheered. “I just [i]love[/i] that game! Come on in!” it said, opening its doorway/mouth wide and unfurling a red carpet “tongue” for them. “You’ll have a great view from the top of my turret!”

[color=Tan]“Okay, now [i]that’s[/i] fucked up…”[/color] the girl with the machine gun observed.

[b]“Deet deet dooo…”[/b]

[color=SlateGray]“You said it, buddy. ‘Come into my parlor’ doesn’t even [i]begin[/i] to describe how wrong this feels…”[/color]

[color=Sienna]“B-But, this is the tallest place,”[/color] the longhaired brunette pointed out. [color=Sienna]“B-Besides, [i]all[/i] of the buildings here are probably like this…”[/color]

[color=Tan]“Yeah, I guess you’re right,”[/color] the machine gun girl conceded. [color=Tan]“But keep your eyes peeled in there. We don’t know what kinda crazy shit we’re walking into…”[/color]

As it turned out, the sentient tower was completely safe, and they soon found themselves at the top of the turret. 

“See, what did I tell you?” the tower remarked amiably. “Quite the view, isn’t it?”

[color=Tan]“You’re not kidding…”[/color] The machine gun girl replied as she gazed out over the colorful cityscape. [color=Tan]“We can see the whole chamber from here.”[/color]

[color=SlateGray]“Yeah, and there goes little miss ‘dream princess’, now!”[/color] the shorthaired girl exclaimed pointing her finger towards the ongoing chase. She gave voice to a small chuckle. [color=SlateGray]“Stupid ditz has no clue she’s bouncing right into a trap!”[/color]

Down in the streets below, Magical Dream Princess was having far too much fun to worry about silly things like traps. Especially when it had just occurred to her what the two girls chasing her were [i]really[/i] doing…

[color=DeepPink]“Oh~! Like, do you girls wanna play tag~?!”[/color] she asked excitedly, a cute grin spreading from ear to ear. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess just [i]wuvs[/i] that game~! (giggle!)”[/color] Not wasting a second, she turned around an bounced over to the pair pursuing her. Before they even knew what was happening, they were each bopped on the head by the childish girl’s sparkling wand. [color=DeepPink]“Taggy waggy~! (giggle!) YOU’RE IT~!!!”[/color] she cried triumphantly, before bouncing away at even greater speed.

[color=LightYellow]“That. Little. [i]BITCH!!![/i]”[/color] The blonde roared as she resumed her pursuit with far greater ferocity. However, her outburst only caused Magical Dream Princess to giggle.

[color=DeepPink]“Ha ha~! You can’t catch me, you can’t catch me~!”[/color] she sang in a childish voice, while thrusting her butt out and shaking it at her pursuers in time with her words, making sure they got a good long look at the cute kitty cats decorating her panties. She giggled to her heart’s content as she bounced along without a care in the world. The ditzy magical girl couldn’t remember when she’d ever had this much fun, and the gleeful smile on her face gave clear evidence that she was having the time of her life. She was having so much fun, in fact, that she completely forgot where she was going. This was somewhat unfortunate, as it meant she failed to notice the pair of redheads in front of her. Before she could even give a startled gasp, they opened fire with their P90s, unleashing a torrent of bullets at the surprised magical girl.

With an agonized shriek, Magical Dream Princess fell from the sky at the height of her bounce, her pogo stick disappearing in a cloud of pink smoke. With a thud, her bloody form landed on the street. Not taking any chances, the two redheads moved towards the prone form slowly, while keeping their weapons trained on it, just in case.

[color=LightCoral]“Did we get her?”[/color] one of them asked.

[color=IndianRed]“Looks like it,”[/color] her twin replied. [color=IndianRed]“Still, she hasn’t changed back yet, and happy clappy fantasy land hasn’t gone away either…”[/color]

[color=DeepPink]“Like, that’s because Magical Dream Princess isn’t deady weady, you silly willies~!”[/color] the magical girl said with a giggle, while winking up at the two redheads. [color=DeepPink]“And, like, this isn’t icky wicky bloody woody, either! It’s yummy wummy ketchup~! (giggle!)”[/color] she added, sliding her finger across the “blood” and then giving it a lick. [color=DeepPink]“Here, try some~! (giggle!)”[/color]

With that, a pair of ketchup bottles appeared in each of her hands. Giving them a squeeze, she shot twin streams of the stuff into both of the redheads’ slack-jawed mouths. Before the two girls even knew what was happening, they had both swallowed the liquid, and it wasn’t long before their faces began to turn a brighter color of red than their hair. However, this wasn’t so much due to anger as to [i]heat.[/i] Both girls began to sweat profusely and gasp for breath.

[color=LightCoral]“Hot! Ho[/color][color=IndianRed]t! Hot!”[/color] they panted, dropping their weapons to fan their faces in a desperate attempt to cool themselves.

[color=DeepPink]“Oh! Golly wolly!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess exclaimed. [color=DeepPink]“That wasn’t ketchupy wetchupy! That was hottie wottie sauce! Magical Dream Princess is so super duper sorry! Here!”[/color] she said urgently, her eyes filled with concern. [color=DeepPink]“Like, have something to drinkie winkie!”[/color] 

Pointing her wand at a nearby fire hydrant, she conjured a pair of fire hoses, which snaked towards the badly dehydrated girls. Their only thoughts being how to extinguish the inferno in their mouths, the redheads turned on the hoses and gulped the water down their throats as fast as they could. It wasn’t long before they began to inflate like comical cartoon balloons, and just when it looked like they might burst, they lost their grips on the hoses and shot off through the air. Magical Dream Princess couldn’t help but giggle as they disappeared into the distance, but her moment of childish delight ended a second later when she heard footsteps rapidly approaching from behind her. Turning around, she discovered the blonde and the silver haired girl. Neither of them looked pleased.

[color=LightYellow]“What the fuck did you do to them, you bitch?!”[/color] the blonde growled. 

[color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess just let them have a drinkie winkie~! They’re not, like, deady weady, or anythingie~! They just went sleepy bye~! (giggle!)”[/color]

[color=LightYellow]“I’m gonna make [i]you[/i] go sleepy bye…”[/color] the blonde snarled. [color=LightYellow]“Forever!”[/color]

Squeezing their fingers tight against their weapons’ triggers the two girls fired a hail of bullets at the cute magical girl. Or, at least, that’s what they intended to do. In reality, instead of bullets, a stream of bubbles poured out of the barrels of their rifles and floated lazily through the air. The silver-haired girl opened her eyes wide in shock, while the blonde looked absolutely livid…  

[color=LightYellow]“Enough of this shit!”[/color] she shouted, throwing her weapon down. For a moment, her hands seemed to glow, before a pair of crackling fireballs appeared in each one. [color=LightYellow]“I’m gonna roast your frilly ass alive!”[/color] 

Magical Dream Princess gave a shocked gasp. [color=DeepPink]“Like, that’s not very nicey wicey!”[/color] she scolded the blonde, wagging her finger, while scowling at her in an adorable fashion. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess thinks you need to cool off!”[/color]

At that, a dark cloud with a cartoonish face formed above the two girls. Glowering down at them, it unleashed a torrential downpour, which utterly extinguished the flames the blonde had conjured. As soon as it had began, the deluge ceased, leaving the two girls completely soaked, and violently shivering from the freezing water.

[color=DeepPink]“Like, that’ll show them, huh, Mister Storm Cloudy~? (giggle!) Thankie wankie so much~!”[/color]

Giving the ditzy magical girl a big smile, the storm cloud nodded, before floating away. No sooner had he done so, than a pair of giant teddy bears appeared behind the two shivering girls and wrapped them up in tight hugs. Meanwhile, an anthropomorphic cartoon alarm clock that was dressed as a police officer appeared before them.

[color=DeepPink]“Since you were so grumpy before, Magical Dream Princess thinks you need a nappy time~! (giggle!) Nighty night~!”[/color] she called to the pair, while the clock cop bashed each of them over the head with his baton. They were instantly knocked unconscious by the blow, while little birds circled around their heads.

[color=DeepPink]“Super duper thankie wankies, Mister Officer~!”[/color] She said, standing to attention and giving a peace sign salute. The clock cop tipped his hat in return, after which Magical Dream Princess turned around and began skipping along the street, humming cutely to herself as she did so. She hadn’t gotten far, when the world around her was blown apart by a string of explosions and mighty blasts of energy.

[color=Tan]“Keep firing!”[/color] the machine gun girl instructed her partner. [color=Tan]“She’s a tough one!”[/color]

[color=SlateGray]“Ya don’t gotta tell [i]me[/i] twice,”[/color] the other girl responded, as she continued to fire blast after blast from her energy rifle at the cute girl in the street below. [color=SlateGray]“We [i]both[/i] saw what she did to the others…”[/color]

Meanwhile, the longhaired brunette was crouched between the two heavy weapons specialists, having placed a glowing hand on the back of each one. Her eyes were closed in deep concentration as she imbued her comrades with increased accuracy and their weapons with increased power. For all the good it did… Scant seconds after they had begun their focused assault, and they could see that their cutesy opponent had escaped it unscathed. In fact, she was flying over to them on the back of a winged Unicorn. Despite their attempts to blow it out of the sky, it evaded their fire with laughable ease, and soon enough, Magical Dream Princess had arrived at the tower. 

 Jumping off her most girly of steeds, the childish magical girl landed with a blast of sparkles and glitter, striking a pose as she did so.

[color=DeepPink]“Tada~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess is here to save the pretty witty princess from the meanie weanies who locked her up in this nasty wasty tower!”[/color]

[color=Tan]“W-What the fuck are you even talking about?!”[/color] the machine gun girl asked, while trying to keep her composure after all she had just witnessed.

[color=DeepPink]“Like, aren’t you girls playing castley wastley?”[/color] Magical Dream Princess asked, somewhat confused. [color=DeepPink]“And, like, isn’t this little cutie wutie pie playing the pretty witty princess?”[/color] she added, pointing her wand at the longhaired brunette, who was looking increasingly nervous.

[color=SlateGray]“Not really…?”[/color] The shorthaired girl with the energy rifle replied. [color=SlateGray]“We’re actually here to stop you, cause you broke into this place.”[/color]

[b]“Deet doot deeeet!”[/b] her drone bleeped loudly.

[color=SlateGray]“Not now, buddy,”[/color] she told it under her breath. 

[color=DeepPink]“Oooooh~!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess squealed as she finally noticed the small robot. [color=DeepPink]“That little wittle guy is, like, soooo super duper cute~! (giggle!) Like, does he have a name~? Is he, like, your pet~? Or maybe waybe your bestie best friend~? Can he do any cool tricky wickies~?”[/color] she asked in rapid-fire succession, her eyes gleaming with delight. [color=DeepPink]“Can he, can he, can he~?!”[/color]

[color=SlateGray]“Uh, well, his designation is BD-E, but I just call him buddy,”[/color] the girl explained, more than a little taken aback by Magical Dream Princess’s childish enthusiasm. [color=SlateGray]“He’s more like a friend than a pet,”[/color] she continued. [color=SlateGray]“As for tricks, well, he can do [i]this.[/i]”[/color]

The instant the girl finished speaking, the small drone began rearranging itself in a blur of motion. It also seemed to be growing larger. [url=https://imgur.com/YlEXA36][i]Much[/i] larger…[/url] A few seconds later, and the drone’s metamorphosis was complete. What had once been a roughly basketball-sized device on four spider legs was now larger than Magical Dream Princess’s Unicorn Pegasus, and armed with a frighteningly massive energy cannon. A cannon that was charging up to fire…

[color=SlateGray]“Okay, buddy!”[/color] the shorthaired girl shouted. [color=SlateGray]“Let her have it!”[/color]

With a mighty blast, the cannon shot forth a blinding cylinder of destructive power. In the blink of an eye, it consumed Magical Dream Princess, reducing the cute magical girl to little more than ash. Or, at least, it [i]would[/i] have, if a shield of rainbow energy hadn’t stopped it in its tracks. It soon became apparent that the “shield” was actually a second, larger, beam, emanating from the magical girl’s wand. At first, it merely held the drone’s beam in place, but all too quickly, it began forcing it back, slowly at first, but with ever-increasing speed. A few seconds later, and it was over. The rainbow beam had inexorably pushed the opposing beam back to its source, whereupon both the cannon, and the drone mounting it, exploded in a blast of sparkles, glitter, and swirling pink smoke.

[color=DeepPink]“Like, wowies~!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess cheered. [color=DeepPink]“It’s, like, sooo pretty~! (giggle!)”[/color]

[color=SlateGray]“B-Buddy!”[/color] the shorthaired girl cried, tears filling her eyes as she aimed her energy rifle at the overjoyed magical girl. [color=SlateGray]“Your gonna pay for that!”[/color]

But, before she could fire a single shot, Magical Dream Princess bopped her on the head with her sparkly wand, followed by her companion with the machine gun.

[color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess thinks that’s enough playtime for now~! (giggle!) You were starting to get cranky wanky, and that means it’s time for beddy bye~! (giggle!)”[/color]  

Then she noticed the longhaired brunette trembling behind where the two other girls were now lying.

[color=Sienna]“P-Please d-don’t hurt me!”[/color] she begged. [color=Sienna]“I-I d-don’t wanna fight anymore!”[/color]

[color=DeepPink]“Awww, it’s okay, little cutie wutie pie~!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess said with a giggle as she knelt down and gave the frightened girl some head pats. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess, like, doesn’t wanna hurt any of you girls~! She just wanted to play~! (giggle!)”[/color]

[color=Sienna]“B-But...”[/color] the girl stammered, while casting a concerned look towards her comrades’ prone forms.

[color=DeepPink]“Oh! Like, you don’t need to worry your pretty witty head about them~!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess assured her. [color=DeepPink]“They’re just having a nappy nap~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess will make sure they have, like, super duper sweet dreams, too~! It’s, like, her super duper special wecial promise~! (giggle!)”[/color] she added, while making a heart with her hands.

[color=Sienna]“Oh… Uh, okay…”[/color] the girl said tentatively. [color=Sienna]“I, uh, guess I’ll take a nap too, then… I-If you don’t mind?”[/color]

[color=Tan]“N-No…”[/color] a groggy voice muttered. [color=Tan]“Y-You… g-gotta… s-stop herrr…”[/color]

The brunette and Magical Dream Princess both turned to see the machine gun girl slowly moving her hand to touch a small device on her wrist.

[color=Tan]“I-It’s… all up to you, Three…”[/color]

[color=DeepPink]“Oh, golly~! Nap time’s not over yet, silly~!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess said with a giggle. [color=DeepPink]“Now, back to dreamy land~! Boink~!”[/color] she added, bopping the girl a second time. However, the girl had still succeeded in reaching the device, which now emitted a soft beeping sound…

The brunette gasped.

 [color=Sienna]“O-Oh, no…”[/color] she whispered, her eyes filled with terror. [color=Sienna]“N-No… N-No! P-Please, don’t make me…!”[/color] she pleaded, clutching her head as her body began violently shaking, and then, [i]expanding…[/i] [color=Sienna]“N-No! Please…! [b]NoooaaaiiiiIIIAAARRRGH!!!”[/b][/color] she roared in agonized fury, her rapidly growing body exploding with muscles. They shredded her clothes, revealing a black leotard beneath. 

As Magical Dream Princess watched in stunned horror, the once-timid girl swiftly turned into what could only be described as a [i]monster.[/i] Her skin became a deep purple, while her hair grew to twice its length and turned a bright green. Her ears elongated to sharp points, and her eyes took on a look of wild frenzy. Most frightening of all, her nails and teeth all grew into wickedly sharp talons and fangs.

[color=Sienna][b]“HUURR… HUURRR… HUUURRT!!!”[/b][/color] the creature roared [color=Sienna][b]“CRUUUSH!!! KILL!!!”[/b][/color]

Swinging with staggering strength, the creature tried to slice the horrified magical girl in half, but Magical Dream Princess dodged at the last minute, laving a trail of sparkles in her wake.

[color=Sienna][b]“KILL! KILL!”[/b][/color] the beast screamed as she pulverized the tower to pieces in her attempt to kill the magical girl. [color=Sienna][b]“KILL!!!”[/b][/color]

[color=DeepPink]“Wowie zowies!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess exclaimed as she deftly avoided each of the creature’s savage blows. [color=DeepPink]“You’re, like, super duper [i]mega[/i] cranky! And, like, Magical Dream Princess thinks you need to go nappy bye super duper extra wextra bad!”[/color]

As she was saying this, she hopped on her Unicorn Pegasus, which flew a short distance away from the tower, in an effort to keep the creature from destroying it and inadvertently injuring her slumbering friends in the process.

With a fearsome roar, the enraged creature leapt from the tower towards the flying unicorn. Such was the monstrosity’s speed it succeeded in knocking the magical girl off her steed and onto the roof a nearby building. Leaping down upon her, the creature prepared to deliver the final blow. However, just before it could strike, Magical Dream Princess smashed her wand against its head with all the strength she could muster. 

[color=DeepPink]“Night night~! (giggle!)”[/color] she shouted cutely as she watched the creature stagger, and finally collapse in an unconscious heap on top of her. Thankfully for the delicate magical girl, the creature had completely reverted by the time its head had reached her ample bosom.

[color=DeepPink]“Awww, Magical Dream Princess’s little cutie wutie pie is aaall better now~”[/color] the magical girl cooed. [color=DeepPink]“She just needed a little nappy nap~ (giggle!)”[/color] she added as she gently ran her fingers through the girl’s long hair. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess would, like, totally wotally wuv to stay here for hours and hours and hours, but she has something reeeeeally extra wextra important to do, so she has to say bye bye, now~! Don’t worry, though, little cutie~! Magical Dream Princess will make super duper sure you have the most sweetie weetiest of dreams~! (giggle!)”[/color] 

Waving her wand, she created an extra comfy bed for the girl to lay in, filled with fluffy pillows and cute stuffed animals. Gently taking the slumbering girl in her arms, she carried her over to the bed and carefully tucked her in.

[color=DeepPink]“There~! All nice and snuggly wuggly~!”[/color] Magical Dream Princess declared, looking quite pleased with herself. [color=DeepPink]“Goodnight, cutie~”[/color] she whispered, bending over to place a soft kiss on the girl’s forehead.

With that important task taken care of, Magical Dream Princess hopped back on her Unipegasus and flew over to the far end of the chamber, where a large door awaited her. Stepping up to it, she noticed a camera in a spherical turret just above the door. She knew what [i]this[/i] was! Her daddy had them above many different doors. They allowed someone inside to see who was at the door, and decide if they wanted to open it. But Magical Dream Princess [i]also[/i] knew that she had to ask politely, or she wouldn’t be let in.

Stepping up to the camera, she stood with her hands clasped behind her back, while she swayed from side to side like a nervous schoolgirl about to ask her crush out on a date. [color=DeepPink]“Like, may Magical Dream Princess please come in~? (giggle!)”[/color] she asked innocently, while beaming up at the camera with her cutest smile and batting her eyes in the most adorable manner possible. [color=DeepPink]“Pretty pretty pleasy weasy~?”[/color]

Unfortunately, despite her endearing performance, the adorable magical girl was met with only silence.

[color=DeepPink]“Aww… Nobody answered…”[/color] she sighed dejectedly. [color=DeepPink]“Like, maybe nobody’s home…? Oh~! Like, Magical Dream Princess has an idea~! (giggle!) Maybe waybe she has to, like, use this buttony wuttony thingie wingie~?”[/color] she added, noting a keypad beside the door.

The buttons’ tones made a sound that was greatly pleasing to the innocent magical girl, and she took childish delight in pressing as many as possible as fast as her fingers could move.

[color=DeepPink]“Golly wolly~! These buttony wuttony thingie wingies make such pretty witty soundy woundies~! (giggle!)”[/color]

After having her fun, Magical Dream Princess still had just enough of her rational mind left to know that she needed to press “enter” after pressing all the numbers. Of course, having input a code as far from the correct one as could be possible, the console emitted a harsh buzz the moment she pressed the “enter” key. 

[color=DeepPink]“Humpf! Like, [i]that’s[/i] not a very nice soundy woundy! This thingie wingie is a meanie weanie!”[/color] she declared as she put her hands on her hips and glowered at the console, looking ridiculously adorable while doing so. [color=DeepPink]“It won’t let Magical Dream Princess in, and it, like, makes such icky wicky noises at her! But Magical Dream Princess will show that meanie weanie~! She’ll just make her [i]own[/i] codey wodey~! (giggle!)”[/color]

With that, she waved her magic wand, and in a shower of glitter, a colorful hopscotch court was conjured in front of the sealed door. Magical Dream Princess jumped up and down with childish glee at the sight of it.

[color=DeepPink]“Oh~! Goody woody~!”[/color] she squealed with delight. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess, like, always wanted to play this game, and now she finally winally can~! (giggle!)”[/color]

Clearly pleased with her creation, she hopped into the court, cheerfully singing as she skipped her way across the numbered squares. 

[color=DeepPink]“One, two, buckle her shoe~!
Three, four, open the door~!
Five, six, pick up sticks~!
Seven, eight, raise the gate~!
Nine, ten, start again~!”[/color]

Upon reaching the end of the court, she giggled happily, while striking a cutesy victory pose. 

[color=DeepPink]“Wowie zowie~! That was, like, so super duper fun~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess wants to do it again~! (giggle!) And this time it’ll be even [i]more[/i] fun, cause now she’ll be doing it backwards, while jumping rope~! (giggle!) Okie dokie~! Here she goes~!”

“Ten, nine, feeling fine~!
Eight, seven, she’s in heaven~!
Six, five, still alive~!
Four, three, wait and see~!
Two, one, now she’s done~! (giggle!)”[/color]

Upon finishing the course a second time, Magical Dream Princess watched with glee as the sealed door spontaneously slid open amid a shower of sparkles and small fireworks.

[color=DeepPink]“Hip, hip, horaaaaay~! (giggle!)”[/color] the childish magical girl cheered with unabashed delight, jumping high in the air and doing a split, while waving the colorful pompoms that had just appeared in her hands. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess did it~! She’s, like, [i]so[/i] totally wotally happy wappy right now~! (giggle!) If only Daddy had seen her~! Then everythingie would have been super duper perfect~! (giggle!)”[/color]

Wasting no time, she happily skipped into the chamber beyond, the whimsical world she left behind returning to its normal state upon her departure.
