[color=fc6828]‘Uuuh,’[/color] Mayra answered, stopped short when Finn got his head cut-off, but somehow without it being particularly gruesome or actually life-ending. Which was troubling, because Mayra had really wanted to intervene [i]before[/i] it got to that point, and now she instead stood there looking pretty stupid having achieved basically nothing but attracted the queen’s attention into what was pretty much a one vs one that she didn’t really want to fight. There were things she wanted to fight, but she wasn’t really in the mental state to fight this one. It didn’t feel right, the stage wasn’t set.

[color=fc6828]‘Aw, I wasn’t really looking to fight you. I just wanted to help Penny. And then Finn. And then, eh, I’d get to that,’[/color] she said with a shrug, but then a silly idea formed in her head. Something way more amusing than just fighting. 

[color=fc6828]‘Tell you what, what can you get if you mix fire and darkness?’[/color] Mayra asked, as she summoned her magical power in both hands… and then slammed them together, producing a giant cloud of black smokescreen. If timed correctly with “Suwako” shooting arrows, that could be proper distracting.

So, Mayra has duplication. But Mayra liked pretending she does not have duplication, so she can take enemies unawares with it. So, in the midst of the smokescreen, hopefully hidden from the eyes of their enemy, Mayra duplicated. Real Mayra immediately applied Darkness magic to sink into the shadow of her own smoke beneath. The duplicate, meanwhile…

[color=fc6828]‘HEY COME FIGHT ME IN HERE, IF YA AIN’T A COWARD!’[/color] duplicate Mayra shouted at the queen, hoping to draw her in. As a Darkness girl, she could see in darkness, like this smokescreen. And if she didn’t take the bait, duplicate could lure her over to fight somewhere else, but regardless, she trusted her supreme physical ability, high even by Magical Girl standards, to at the very least allow her to dodge somewhat. And even if she was taken out…

As soon as Real Mayra saw the opportunity, she manifested from the ground, grabbed Finn’s body and head, and then grin as she [i]rocketed[/i] herself back towards town with a fierce, loud blast of fire. 

She’d turn in mid-air to make sure she didn’t have the enemy commander right on her tail or about to slice her from behind or something. That would be annoying. Then she’d leg it, if she were able to. Much more amusing to try to trick the enemy commander like this.
