She offered them an easy way out, offered them a chance. There was no promise of her doing it again. Instead, she leapt forward to meet Reaver a small trail of electricity flowing from her raised fist. At the same time the rest of her hidden limbs would unveil themselves and lash out at the projectiles closing in on her. The sword was battered away and the spear captured. Just before the fight could begin in earnest Reaver vanished, space warping and whisking him away to places unknown. The action caught Penny of guard, but that didn’t stop her advance, a hard step and a violent pivot had the mechanical monarch turning towards the other active combatant, her intention painfully obvious as she started leveling Seppa’s own spear at her as she charged. The next surprise was one that Penny had more warning towards. The scream of Metal rang loud and clear to her and there was only so much that she was willing to risk without forewarning. It was because of that she halted her advance as the spear self-destructed a thin cloud of dust rising to obscure the actual damage as Seppa ran off. The instant Seppa had broken the line of sight the dust cloud would be banished. Revealing Penny practically untouched. The spear, or more accurately it’s fragments never came close to touching the Queen of Penrose. The weapon was contained in a few layers of Reinforcement barriers, the spell she stole from Reaver coming in surprising use to contain it. With a gesture the barrier dropped and the acid fell freely as the fragments would remain in the air suspended by Penny’s magic. She would then turn to face those that had arrived just before things went sideways. And it was only due to Melisa’s presence that she didn’t assume that they too were enemies, still her spider limbs were poised and ready to strike. Or at least most of them were, one of them quietly dipped its tip into the acid to gauge just how potent the solution was. [color=9e0039][u][b]“Seems you showed up a bit late for the action”[/b][/u][/color] Penny would say after a moment of examining both the mutated tiger and the unknown girl. [color=9e0039][u][b]“Care to explain why you came here?”[/b][/u][/color] She would ask as Snoopy disconnected from his dock and took to the skies. Penny doubted that whatever plan it was that the Mint had they were still going to go along with it seeing as one of their agents ran as soon as Reaver vanished. Which meant that they were a distraction. So she hopped that Snoopy might be able to find some trail of the main squad so that she could try and piece together what the plan was for next time. [hr] Reaver’s phone signal suddenly appearing in close proximity to the Rest of Beacon’s at the Mansion mission was logged by the small portion of Penny still tracking the movement’s of that local, but it wouldn’t be until later that Penny would truly register that, or what it meant.

Aurelio would have been fine with being ignored. Heck even more and more people teleporting into the main room to turn it all in to one giant dust up while ignoring him would have been fine. He just wanted to cast his spell and go home. It wasn’t a complicated spell, but it was a powerful one. A large scale, self-sustaining, self-reinforcing spell of Hope and Love. He had gone through the build of as he had walked over here all that was left was to set it off. Or at least that had been the plan. Leena’s fanatical Null Field, kind a made his spell utterly unusable. Or at least it wasn’t capable of being large scale anymore, and he was just a few steps short of either panic or a break down, he wasn’t sure which. Then Jenna showed up and he thankfully took her support, opening his mind as best he could to ease it. He wasn’t a Psychic but Empathy worked in similar circles at times. The mental support let him get his emotions fully under his control as well, which if he was being entirely honest the Void spell helped with that as well by banishing any lingering emotions in the air away so that he didn’t have to fend them off anymore as well as keep his head. [color=fff79a][i]’You’re a life saver. Dinner is on me next time I swear.’[/i][/color] He would think as he refocused on the chaos in front of him. Three things stood out to him, and in any normal circumstance he would have made a few clones and went to assist at all the locations at once. First was Alicia, and her rapidly approaching cat problem. Second was watching the spunky sparkster taking a spear for Lily. Lastly, that Justine was, more so than any other moment, vulnerable. It took less time for him to decide what to do then it did for him to recognize and process everything he had seen. Turning to Jenna, he ran his hand along his cane the unsettling black glow vanishing and being replaced with a warm white. He then handed her the Cane, now charged to release the entirety of his earlier spell in one go. Two if she was careful. No words were said, but none were needed due to the telepathic link. It should kill Justine, or turn Alicia into an avenging Angel. Both useful outcomes, but Aurelio had something more important to take care of. After all Kindness had to come first. After passing off his Final Act he would turn and race towards Sakura, ignoring everything except for the soft shuddering of this dimension. [color=fff79a]“I hope you’ve still got a trace on us”[/color] Aurelio would mutter into his com, hopping that Elora was still on the other side [color=fff79a]“As it feels like this place is falling apart.”[/color] Skidding to a stop he would rub his hands together bringing forth a soft blue glow just under his skin. Without any further ado he set about healing Sakura. Trusting in Jenna and Alicia to be able to handle things in the fight.

Noting things that caught her interest, such as Alma’s cup size that coin that Ilmarinen seemed so fond of, and that Seppa liked her things to stay hers. [color=#652DC1]“I, for one, can hardly think of a reason anyone would stay mad at you for too long”[/color] Viva would say with a smirk. [color=#652DC1]“I’m interested in seeming more of Seppa’s toys as well. Especially if they are anything like this one.”[/color] She would continue on, hefting the Axe that had been loaned out to her to emphasis her statement. After that conversation died off for a bit as they all waited for the meat of the mission to be found. Viva spent her time idling staring at everyone there with eyes grown under her hair, wondering how Ilmarinen’s wings would taste. She was rather annoyed at the change of plans, but didn’t do much more then huff about it, and was readying to leave when she was ensnared by the shadowy tendrils. She struggled against them for a moment before stopping and leveling an unamused glare at Varjo. [color=#652DC1]“Kinky”[/color] She would say with a fanged grin that was decidedly more feral then playful. The Axe in her hand would vanish in a small flash of light as her body suddenly melted into a puddle and oozed out of the dark tentacles grip. Just as suddenly Viva would be reforming and jumping away from the three of them. [color=#652DC1]“But you forgot to set a safe word.”[/color] Viva would say as her revolver materialized in her right hand, as a few vials filled with green liquid appeared in between the fingers of her left. [color=#652DC1]“Mind explaining the sudden, but supposedly inevitable, betrayal?”[/color] She would ask leveling her gun at Varjo.
