Out of the darkness came forth the light. The Magical Girls of London entered the scene swiftly and powerfully. The Pageless were blindsided by the sudden assault, beginning with Lumière’s arrival. Several of them fell victim to her slashes and blasts as if divine wrath was given by an angel up high. Those slain dissipated into a spurse of darkness and blackened pages, dissolving away into the night air back to the recessions of history. Those that weren’t soon turned their anger and inhuman hunger towards the Magical Girls, crawling, leaping, and throwing themselves at whoever they could find with claws and evil intent.

There were some Pageless still fueled by instinct and ignored their hatred of Magical Girls to feed themselves upon the enchanted humans. 
No sooner did they prey closer to their targets did bolts of fire come between them. Startled, they sensed magic emanating from the makeshift barriers, eyes glowing a blood red to match the fire and sending them into a frenzy. They clawed and smashed their way through Burning Heart’s grounded arrows, sensing the hesitance and fear coming off the humans. Burning Heart’s deterrent worked in making even the entranced civilians back away, though not for long as the Pageless came closer….

A large whistle sung through the air before the first ready to consume their targets were sent flying and abroad. More steel beams smashed through the Pageless as none other than Lilac Shimmer arrived. With great strength on her part, the flames were further buffeted by a cage of steel beams to protect the humans. The Pageless now turned all their rage to the Magical Girls. They sprinted towards Lilac and Burning Heart, a deep pressure surrounding their claws as they pulsed with darkness and power. Soon they’d be swinging to and fro to rend the girls apart, leaping atop one another in maddened desire.

Some of the Pageless however, began to turn away once they sensed a fourth Magical Girl arrive on the scene. Although Captain Goodhope hadn’t cast a spell, her magic was enough counter to the negativity that had since filled the area before from the Pageless. Hissing an inhuman screech, a good dozen of the Pageless turned tail away from the horde, eyes glowing in the night. Whether they were fleeing on instinct who knew, but there was something else that drew their attention. It felt very familiar to a Magical Girl….no, a Grimoire. A fresh Grimoire entered the world.

The split off Pageless leapt further into the construction site to hunt down their new target. While the others could try and fail to feast or slay Magical Girls, the call of a Grimoire was much too great. Indeed, so great was it that more and more Pageless who finally noticed the magical presence started to ignore Magical Girl and civilian alike and followed the scent of a new story.
