Her power could do nothing to blunt the flash of pain and Roche's eyes narrowed as she staggered back onto her feet, only to scream out as searing light burned more than her retinas. Skin blistered and burned, the barrage weaker than what the Obliterator itself could offer but still a potent hazard to her health. A more reasonable Magical Girl would see they'd overstepped and try to de-escalate, and even the twisted Dark Magical Girls would feel some empathy for the raw grief radiating from Nyxia. Roche did not get to position as Rei's enforcer by being [I]reasonable[/I]. [color=orange]"Are. You. Finished?"[/color] As the blisters burned deeper into her skin Roche needed only to reach back, pulling the shield from her back and interposing it between them. Light danced wildly in every direction, gouging the alley walls and sending streaks into the sky as the surface had no issue absorbing the screams. Then it pulsed, returning the energy in a concentrated blast to propel Nyxia hurtling away and into the scattered remnants of the Miseria that still lingered at the ambush site. The shamanistic Magical Girl held the laser before her, an unsubtle suggestion that further light shows will be taken right against it's barrel as the shield settled along her arm. [color=orange]"Listen, or the next attack I do will shatter this toy."[/color] Someone utterly unyielding against a deranged soul who couldn't be swayed. Roche would have smiled at how perfect they were for each other if her face wasn't as raw as Nyxia's throat must have felt after screaming all those lasers. [color=orange]"One more step, curse, or laser and this memento of yours is scrap."[/color] Earthshaker said, her hand along the barrel tightening as the lines across her skin flashed with barely restrained power. [color=orange]"So tell me...what does this mean to you? Who is [I]he?[/i]"[/color]
