As Ashley continued to charge up her impending attack, she heard the distorted voice of Silhouette offer an apology for disappearing earlier. And ask if she was still able to heal his hands…

[color=MediumSpringGreen]“I’m sorry, Silhouette,”[/color] she told him with a voice filled with cold determination. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“But your hands will have to wait.”[/color]

What [i]wouldn’t[/i] have to wait was the grand debut of Dr. Moller’s esper form. “Vermillion Veronica” was an apt codename, Ashley reflected, as she beheld her crimson garbed superior’s elaborate, yet rather impractical outfit. However, a moment later, her vision was consumed by darkness as the last of the glowing rocks faded away. Still, Ashley had fixed Billy’s location in her mind, and the giant monster would be hard to miss at this distance. Thus, not wasting a moment more, the Knight of Tomorrow aimed her fully charged techno-wand and unleashed a blinding beam of incandescent annihilation. With a mighty screech, the brilliant lance of destructive energy shot forth, a scintillating cyclone of raw arcane power, primed to disintegrate whatever unfortunate thing lay in its path. 

Unfortunately for Ashley, that thing [i]wasn’t[/i] Billy Black…

Instead, the ruinous emerald cylinder met with an obstruction, one which strongly resembled a particularly… [i]swollen[/i] aspect of the male anatomy… With a sound akin to the shattering of several dozen window panes, the bulbous ovoid exploded into a shower of warm droplets, the small portion of the ice sculpture that hadn’t completely evaporated having been turned into a spray of heated liquid. 

If the sensation of these droplets landing upon her was unpleasant to Ashley, the Knight of Tomorrow gave no sign. Instead, she merely clenched her teeth and glared at the fleeing terrorists with utter fury. Once again she had failed, once again, a monster was allowed to escape… Dr. Moller had apparently managed to capture one of the Mavericks, but that was a small consolation after all they had endured. 

Turning to Silhouette, the high-tech heroine gave voice to a weary sigh. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“It looks like I’m almost out of mana,”[/color] she told him in a tone suffused with despair and exhaustion. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“You should probably ask one of the medics to help you with your hands.”[/color]

This had been a complete disaster. What had they even accomplished? And why did Dr. Moller seem so unconcerned about everything? Gathering her resolve, Ashley strode over to her crimson-clad superior to ask just that…
