While Gaia may have wished to use caution, Lily, unsurprisingly, didn’t seem to know the meaning of that word, and had blasted off before the verdant maiden had even finished speaking. Yet, even as she watched the impetuous greenette speed off into the distance, a portal opened in mid-air and disgorged a very confused, and very familiar, figure…

[color=DarkOrchid]“M-Mayra?!”[/color] Connie cried in alarm as she watched her draconic friend slam into the ground. Urging her multicolored mount into motion, she hurried over to where the girl had fallen, with Gaia trailing close behind. [color=DarkOrchid]“O-Oh gosh! A-Are you a-all right?!”[/color] the masked maiden asked, her voice and visage filled with concern as she approached the monster girl.

[color=SpringGreen]“Is Mariette in trouble?”[/color] Gaia inquired, figuring that was the only reason the portal witch would send her associate to them in such an abrupt manner. 

A quick glance to where Lily was confronting the Queen, while Mariette and a bound Alex stood nearby, seemed to indicate the answer was an emphatic “yes”, but any additional insight into what was obviously an exceedingly treacherous situation would still be valuable in the extreme. Indeed, as she watched Chloe proceed to join the little gathering, the botanical beauty only hoped that the dark magical girl and her rapidly approaching forces would be able to distract the Queen long enough for them to not only formulate some kind of plan, but to also successfully carry it out.

As MDP’s playful procession made its merry way through the fortress-factory’s labyrinthian interior, the whimsical girl at its head cheerfully skipped around the massive edifice, peering into every nook and cranny, while singing a suitably childish song as she did so.

[color=DeepPink]“Hidey widey, seeky weeky~! What’s in heresie~?! Take a peeky~! (giggle!)”[/color]

This happy-go-lucky period of excited exploration might have gone on for a fair bit longer than was wise, given the urgent nature of the current situation, but for MDP, having fun was what mattered most of all. It was also the best way to ensure her magic was at its most powerful. Thus, that compulsion really couldn’t be avoided, even if she’d wanted to do so. Because of this, she was one of the last to arrive at the egg chamber, bouncing through the entrance with eyes full of wonderment mere moments before “Ashley” teleported the cockatrice to the  Overcity.   

[color=DeepPink]“YAAAY~!!!”[/color] the whimsical girl cheered, jumping into the air with ditzy delight. [color=DeepPink]“Magical Dream Princess foundy woundy the eggy weggies~! (giggle!) And a biggy wiggy birdy wirdy, too~! Golly wolly!”[/color] she exclaimed a moment later when the monstrous bird abruptly popped out of sight. [color=DeepPink]“And nowie wowie it’s gonesie wonsie!”[/color] Turning to the rest of her procession with a happy smile, she added, [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess thinkie winkies it’s probably wobably timey wimey to makey wakey those eggy weggies go bye bye, too~! (giggle!)”[/color]

With that, she raised her whimsical wand and fired a prismatic beam of sparkling dream energy at the nearest egg, her new friends following suit with their own array of assorted weapons, each of which had been enchanted by MDP’s own playful powers. Thus, what bizarre effect this colorful barrage would actually have on its target was anyone’s guess…
