In the blink of an eye the Beacon team arrived in Bolorton. Surveying the battlefield from her limited area, things did not seem to be going well in spite of the influx of magical girls. Sure they were doing damage to the approaching Wonderland forces, but Wonderland troops were now entering the city streets, putting the place directly at risk. It seemed they were still in time to have some impact on how things turned out. 
 
Glancing towards the sky, Alicia nodded along with Violet's surprised statement. [color=aba000]"Magic happened,"[/color] she explained succinctly. What else needed to be said? 
 
With them now in the city they needed to get to the shelter so they could set up the teleporter. [color=aba000]"Alright, let's go. Wonderland isn't going to wait for us,"[/color] she told Aurelio as the car drove down deserted streets. With the city about to be imminently invaded, haste was of the utmost importance if they wanted to get the civilians out. She shuddered to think of what Wonderland could get up to with helpless people. As much as it bit at her to not be able to do anything, she knew that this was still an important task. 
 
Yet an unexpected distraction presented itself as they drove along. Glancing in the rearview mirror for a moment to get a better look at the combat going on behind them, Alicia paused as she spotted someone unexpected standing on the side of the road. [color=aba000]"Suwako?"[/color] Even if she was not surprised by seeing Suwako, finding her here was an unexpected jolt. She watched with wide eyes as Suwako ranted at the injustice present before racing off to attack Wonderland.

For a brief moment she was possessed of the impulse to go after her. But the more she thought on it the more something seemed off. Sure, it was possible that Suwako had ended up here like so many of Penrose's magical girls. That part was hardly unusual, especially by magical girl standards. However she'd always known Suwako as a relatively softspoken and withdrawn girl, with firm opinions that she had trouble expressing. It was quite different from this.

Rising in her seat, Alicia frowned as she turned back to look at Suwako. Her eyes glowed as she activated her Third Eye, and was met with the truth of the matter. Returning to her original position, she nodded to Aurelio. [color=aba000]"Keep going,"[/color] she told him. [color=aba000]"That's just an illusion, someone trying to drag us into the fight. But we need to get the teleporter set up first. Making sure the civilians are out of harms way is most important."[/color] Especially with Wonderland starting to breach the city proper. 

For now they needed to do the task they had been assigned. And really, she was done being misled by illusions and other such schemes.
