Willow had been the last person she expected to come to her rescue. Something that almost vaguely resembled a positive emotion began to form in Hizuki's chest as the unreliable-looking magical girl saved her from, at the very least, sudden unconsciousness. That emotion was promptly quashed and replaced with a more familiar frustration as Hizuki realized that her partner had [i]also[/i] taken it upon herself to beat the tar out of a girl the Daybreak had been [i]attempting[/i] to set up a peaceful parley with. [color=yellow]"I swear I didn't know she was going to do this, Mal- Miss Black."[/color]

To demonstrate that her word was reliable, she pointed her lance at the rope. The blade on the end briefly became a bar of light that swept over Black Gate, bisecting the bindings and freeing the captured magical girl without so much as singing her clothing. [color=yellow]"Get out of here, we'll talk later!"[/color] The rest of her ruined THUNDER CRACK fell off her body as she rolled off Willow's unicorn, then rose into the air under her own power. The thought occurred to her that Black Gate might be more or less her counterpart, a dark girl working with a group of light girls, but that only made her think there might be some way to end the fighting. That, however, would have to come later.

The entire situation had, frankly, gone to utter shit, and she was going to have to do something fast. Kaeru had intercepted Topaz before she did something drastic to Tsubomi, and it was probably going to buy enough time for Shatterscape's very clear and rapidly approaching desire to rescue the emotionless girl to be fulfilled. She could feel two impending sources of magic, one of which she recognized from a few moments ago. Impending, but not here yet. Hizuki couldn't fight the GEMs, grab Tsubomi, and ensure Black Gate's escape all at once, so she picked the thing she could most obviously help with - namely, stopping the Detention Club from getting perforated with lasers. 

Despite her condition, she gathered her magic and blasted forward toward Pearl. [color=yellow]"You bullies aren't getting away with this!"[/color] she yelled, charging with her spear in a (much) lesser version of the maneuver she'd planned to unleash on Diamond. She hoped that her speed was enough to prevent Pearl from getting a proper bead on her, but just in case, she flew in an arc, angling to strike the other light girl directly and force her toward an alley where her powers would be less of a problem for the others.
