	It was dark, time passively ticking in the wizard's mind as she waited for a clear sign of a secondary enemy. Her fears were correct, dashing from building to building was another pageless possibly even more powerful than the one they were entertaining. Ayaka's gaze met one of the unconscious bodies bet as soon as she moved her eyes off of observing a metallic rod came her way and suddenly the wizard was flown back. Luckily she had anticipated an attack but was surprised that her cloaking ability was of no match to the unknown pageless. Her form broke down once more, even more so while she was within the shadows.

	A glow emitted from her hands, searing light escaped her palms as she revealed herself from the shadows; glowing white chains that gave off light shooting out from the tiled ground of the office. It held the metallic rod in place, roughly shaking as it battled against the chains but eventually losing motion. The chains would continue their attack glowing even more so as the rod began to melt against its form even though no heat emitted from the spell. Eventually, the rod would drop, and Ayaka would sigh in relief.

	Her relief was short-lived, looking upwards through the floors she could see Robin struggle against the Jack-In-The-Box and watched as it escaped through the roof and after immense darkness purged the remains of light under the barrier. The energy of her teammates and the uplifting statement of Robin kept her hope alive and as dark grabbed at the edges of the building the wizard devised a plan.

	Ayaka asked telepathically assuming that the Monarch had dodged the metallic rod that shot through the building. 

[color=9966cc][i]"Are you able to create portals out of the barrier... somewhere out of the battlefield so that we can go all out without having to worry?[/i][/color]

	The wizard hoped that Yuri could do something of the sort, having the citizens moved to a safer place preferably outside of the barrier would aid in their winning chance.
