Remaining: 8 Gold, 30 Silver, 39 Bronze Total: 12 Gold, 162 Silver, 183 Bronze [/hider][/center] While Mac had hoped that they would come face to face with the Mad Hatter himself, it seemed that he was not the next threat. It was as unfortunate as it was expected. She would have thought he’d risk his own life before letting one of the queen’s precious eggs come to harm. Let alone the creature birthing them. But pointing out flaws in the motives of a [color=tomato]mad[/color] man was how fools wasted their time. He was brainwashed by the queen and likely behaved in a way that she agreed with. It was possible she valued him more than the eggs or creature. If he had made them, then he would indeed be the more valuable asset. Justine screaming Caroline’s name reminded Mac that there was other shit that needed doing. It was getting a little tedious. Every step forward was met with some conflict that, while ultimately not that dangerous on its own, wasted precious time. They couldn’t keep playing the Hatter’s game, and it was about time Mac started thinking outside the box. In fact, Mac was so good at this type of thinking that she could think her way to different planes of existence. Mac ran forward. Ashley activated her tractor beam to slow Caroline’s descent. She looked to the giant chicken’s feet to get a sense for where it was. [color=cfff04]”I’ll be back with chicken strips and a friend. You guys beat the eggs into batter!”[/color] And with that, Mac dove into the chicken and wrapped her arms around it. Ashley followed suit. Then they vanished from sight. … … … To cook a cockatrice right, you really needed to be in the overcity. Mac didn’t care exactly where she was. She tumbled between the overgrown chicken’s legs and stood up. Ashley vanished. Her invisibility spell deactivated. She brandished her claws. The times she had revealed herself to the outside world were few and far between. It was such a foreign sensation, not being cloaked by magic. Mac was strong enough magically that she could keep up such enchantments, but it always meant that she had to hold back during her fights. Gravity magic was expensive for what it was, and even using it as seldom as she had ate into her reserves. There was no reason to restrain herself out here, especially since she had no backup. She turned to face the giant chicken, but not before magically affixing a pair of shades to its face. It shouldn’t matter if the bird could see through the shades or not. Ultimately, Mac could not meet its gaze. Though she briefly examined the bird with her third eye to confirm her suspicion before relying on her gimmick. [color=cfff04]”Alright feather face. Show me what you’re made of!”[/color] With any luck, the other would be able to carry on without her.

Oh yea, and everyone else was there too. [color=violet]"...What?”[/color] Chloe knew more than anyone else about the surge of power one felt holding a life in their hands. Even if it turned to ash in the end, she recalled how good it felt to help Penny when Alicia could only watch dumbfounded. She was kind of a bitch back then, huh? To be fair, it felt empowering to grant Violet her freedom too. Magical Dream Princess probably enjoyed teaching Chloe how to be cute so that she could get a proper girlfriend. As fun as it was to reflect on her past, this really wasn’t the time for it. Though there was something kind of off about this situation. From what Chloe had been told about the situation, the queen was some sort of powergaming, god modding person that just kind of knew everything. If that was really the case… Was Chloe missing something here? In such a delicate situation, it did not seem wise to try and attack the queen while she was distracted. Such a thing was more or less impossible if the rumors were to be believed. Chloe didn’t believe them, but she also didn’t believe that she needed to attack the queen from behind in order to defeat her. Chloe galloped from around the queen and her steed stood by Lily’s side. [color=violet]"Hey Lily, I found Alex!”[/color] She pointed. [color=violet]"He’s over there.”[/color] She smiled and giggled. [color=violet]"I’m pretty sure he’s safe. I mean imagine killing the princess’s gigolo to send a message. Magical boys don’t exactly grow on trees, let alone ones that are fit to breed with royalty. I mean, I wouldn’t pick him myself, but you know. If that’s the kind of thing Alice wants, it would be downright shameful to threaten to kill him.”[/color] She shrugged her shoulders. [color=violet]"Anyway, I think the real problem here is that Alice isn’t capable of thinking for herself.”[/color] She looked at everyone, intentionally avoiding Connie and Mia’s gaze to preserve any concealment they might be enjoying. She really didn’t believe in the queen’s power. [color=violet]"I mean horrors really, really like their servants. They don’t relinquish them easily. Make one wrong move and you’ll be given a not-so-swift punishment. I’m sure I don’t have to tell [i]you[/i] the specifics?”[/color] She eyed the queen. Chloe didn’t just blow her cover to drop “truth bombs” and open herself up as a target. Her troops would be attacking the area any moment now, and the resulting confusion should be, well, entertaining. Falling flaming skeletons were always entertaining.
