As Nyxia had expected, the light girls were indeed leading Earthshaker and Shatterscape into another trap. In rapid succession, the latter plummeted to the ground amidst a burst of mystic energy and jagged mirror fragments, while the former was struck by a volley of enchanted arrows mid-leap, before also hurtling towards the ground like a stone. The Rule Keeper barely missed the light girls’ shield-turned hoverboard on her way down, allowing the annoying pair to make a swift escape. As she watched all this from her vantage point atop a nearby roof, the Neon Tempest could only make one comment.

Ignoring Shatterscape for the moment, under the reasoning that the “High Priestess” could simply jump to a different body if her current one had become too compromised, Nyxia quickly made her way over to where Roche had landed. Upon arriving, she was surprised to see the Rule Keeper bawling her eyes out. [color=Aquamarine][i]Doesn’t look like those arrows did any physical damage…[/i][/color] the Neon Tempest noted as she looked over her partner’s prone form. [color=Aquamarine][i]Did they do something to fuck with her mind…?[/i][/color]

[color=Aquamarine]“Uh, you okay ‘Shaker?”[/color] Nyxia inquired as she tentatively reached a hand out to touch the sobbing Rule Keeper’s shoulder. [color=Aquamarine]“What the hell [i]happened[/i] up there?”[/color]

Even as she said this, the Neon Tempest was still aware of that other mysterious presence, although they had, thankfully, chosen to refrain from making themselves known. Nyxia only hoped her team could recover from the recent clusterfuck fast enough to deal with this new visitor if it proved to be yet [i]another[/i] adversary…
