Tentative curiosity was the best label their leader's feelings, as though she could see how Hizuki might just fit in with their quirky little group. Enough so not to put her foot down, at least. Unfortunately someone else did so, and as their eyes snapped out across the city, they realized the earthquakes had a source as what could only be a Giga Miseria loomed over Hibusa's horizon. It was utterly bereft of the outlandish absurdity of the pirates, bearing on it's dreadful countenance a brutality that needed no mask. Naked violence desiring to grind them from existence, snuffing them out like candles before the wind. The sheer scale of it was boggling considering the distance, and more then just itself was the affirmation that like their prior foe, it was not the sole danger. For all that Earthshaker should stood ready to intercept a Magical Girl attacking Hizuki, or vice versa, she was flat footed when a carrion crow struck the Daybreak in a bullish rush of bone and beak. The Light Girl acquitted herself well with a rapid response, the flash of lasers and bursts of light informing the Rule Keeper that she hadn't fallen to the opening strike. The Rule Keeper's eyes widened further still when Rei deferred command to her, a mocking edge that perhaps only Roche could hear as she parroted her words back at her. Was there such spite inside Rei that she'd stand aside even as the city itself trembled under the ire of a Giga Miseria? Arguing was pointless and would only waste the precious time they had. With a snarl Roche pivoted towards the nearest bony bird and surged forward, fist crackling with power as she struck the avian playing tug of war with Tsubomi's body. Momentum carried her past, striking against the side of a building and rebounding off it with a kick. Earthshaker rose, clearing the rooftops and catching sight of her partner as she charged a massively boosted Omega Obliterator. [color=orange]"Detention Club! Clear out the lesser Miseria. Focus on the birds and anything else that comes crawling here. Nyxia and I will hold the giant till it's help is swept away!"[/color] The tribal Magical Girl's shout rang loud and clear before she alighted beside Nyxia and and conjured her shield. After using it as an improvised speed boat on the beach, she was curious if she could use it to fly as well. Seeing the beam of apocalyptic force lancing forward to meet the Giga Miseria, Roche bounded upwards and interposed the shield between herself and Nyxia. A hiss of pain escaped her lips as she tucked herself in close, her extremities singed by the force before she fully sheltered in the curve of her hide shield. It grew blindingly bright in mere moments as she hurtled in a stream of lasers, a new star taking to the heavens as she hurtled beyond the city to meet the Giga Miseria mono a mono.
