[color=5CE6A1]"Yes!!"[/color] Exhaling in relief as the shade went up in flames, Ukiko punched the air and grinned up at Setsuko. They'd done it. [color=5CE6A1]"Magical girl senshi 1, shade 0!"[/color]

She'd spoken too soon. The fire died down to reveal black mist, still forming a vague mantis shape. From inside the fog, an orange orb blazed. With an unearthly shriek, the sphere unleashed a burst of light - right at her. [color=5CE6A1]"Waugh!"[/color] Ukiko flew out of the way, avoiding a direct hit, but wasn't fast enough to evade it entirely. She yelped, clutching her right arm where the blast had singed her. [color=5CE6A1]"Ugh... You don't know when to quit do you?"[/color]

Burabura, with her single eye, stared in horror at the wound. [color=59C8DE]"Are you alright-bura? That looks nasty-bura!"[/color]

[color=5CE6A1]"It's nothing,"[/color] Ukiko hissed through clenched teeth, although it wasn't. Up until now, no shade had felt like such a threat as this one. [color=5CE6A1]"L-Let's show it what happens to those who get on our bad side! Soulfire Combo!"[/color] Raising her good arm, she sent wisps swirling around the stream of spectral energy Burabura breathed, directly at the orb. They'd all have to hit this shade with everything they had.
