Another to know they had hurt her club mates while they were out and about. Entirely different was experiencing the former, and bearing witness to the maliciousness of the sanctimonious vipers planning to inflict emotional devastation on the most emotionally vulnerable of the group. Stab Nyxia and Miso would burn under a laser-based rampage, but Nyxia would pick herself up out of the ashes with a new vendetta and some creative curses, but still the same Nyxia they knew. Stab Tsubomi? Roche didn’t even know if she’d be the same girl after that! Even in the depths of her rage she felt a flicker of pride in her partner for shooting first, a laser set to remove the archer’s hands at the wrist in what would have been poetic justice. But in spite of delicious irony, Miso’s resident Light Girl had to intervene and pull her hands out of the way. The Rulekeeper couldn’t see anything else as a massive toad landed between them, and she had no intention of letting Topaz hide behind the beast, no matter how familiarof a familiar it was. Breaking out into a sprint that reminded all in the club there was a damn good reason she captained the Track Club, her steps ate up the asphalt between as she telegraphed a punch to its admittedly cute face. Only to find it unmarred as Roche slipped low, ducking under an expected lash of the tongue as her shoulder barreled into the amphibian’s broad belly before releasing a fraction of the stored power she’d built flying Air Nyxia. A teeth-shaking, ear popping crack that would send the frog hurtling backwards across the street to crash into an unfortunate storefront. And leaving the Rule Keeper standing over Kaeru and Topaz, shoulders heaving as a dark glare bore down upon them from the shadow of her hood.
