Even in its initial appearance, the rods only ever aimed for Ayaka on first contact. Even now as more of the projectiles were dispatched one by one by the Magical Girls, the trajectory and direction of their mass never crossed towards the unconscious civilians. Whatever this new threat was, it held little mind or care for the people and innocents, only showing aggression towards the Magical Girls.

Of course, it was doubtful if any of them figured these turns of events; or perhaps they kept these observations to themselves. Regardless of the answer, all things led to darkness and with a resounding cry of classical music filling the building, the lights were cut off save for the massive spotlights at the building’s top. It was the work of the Jack in the Box, who seemed to be giving off one final grand stand to face its enemies or enact some other horrible scheme.

It hardly mattered in the end, especially to the unseen adversary facing the rest of Robin’s team. Suddenly, one of them made to move on the assault and launching away from Momo was her canine construct. Kiba would leap outward, blindly, into the darkness of the building to meet the new foe head on. For moments there was silence and stillness in the air as no rods came back to part the way and attack the Magical Girls and Magical Boy again. Then suddenly, all heard the sound of animalistic whining and Kiba was sent right back to Momo with the force of a rocket.

The dog was hurled with enough force to send it skidding along the ground as the unseen foe answered in retaliation. A new sound filled the air, the noise of clicking as boots clacked along the ground. Where once the enemy had moved in a blur, now it approached the three of them with all the casual carefulness of a wild predator, the darkness of the entire building encroaching behind them. The light from Ayaka’s chains melting the rods gave some identification as their new enemy slowly walked out and revealed [url=https://i.imgur.com/a2854V4.png]themselves[/url].
