[color=888888]— Someone Else.[/color][/center]

So much chaos! So much bloodlust! Light and Dark pitted against each other in such a discordant symphony, it was a damn miracle for someone outside it all to even catch up! And yet it was so curious at the same time. What was the reason for all of this? Just a bunch of loyal children trying to play the hero? How... charming. And yet, so ill-mannered. No one had even asked that poor girl the little lighteners were dragging about what [i]she[/i] desired! And weaponizing [i]love[/i] and [i]happiness[/i] to inflict such torment, only to feign innocence-

 ...Oh.

 Oh dear. Perhaps this little playtime of theirs is getting a bit [i]too[/i] enthusiastic...

 A sigh, and then the echo of an eerie chuckle. Tale as old as time. 

 Time for the adult to break things up. 

 All around the conflict, the world seemed to darken, reality shattering apart like glass. If one were unfortunate to peer into one of the cracks, they'd witness nightmarish creatures surging about on the other side. A rather unorthodox means of quick travel, but [url=https://safebooru.org//images/1612/28b26e7ddfc020fc7a14c339af95bbd88bac82be.png?1689289]Nocnista[/url] had to act just as such. She popped up to catch Hotaru!Shatterscape out of the air before she hit the pavement, then, still carrying her, appeared again in front of Nyxia, opening what looked like a parasol to deflect Boleite's cannon fire.

 [color=9966CC]"Hellooooo, my dears~!"[/color] The strange woman, despite her power, was even more strangely jovial, giving the light girls warm regards in the midst of a large-scale battle no less. There was no doubt this was another dark magical girl. Just much, [i]much[/i] worse... [color=9966CC]"Now, I'd hate to break this little dispute of yours up, but..."[/color]

At the same time, once Earthshaker lunged at Topaz, the two of them suddenly disappeared into the cracks. [color=9966CC]"Ah! One moment, if you please~?"[/color] Nocnista set Hotaru!Shatterscape down next to Nyxia and slipped away, reopening the nightmarish rift (portal? That's techincally a portal, right?) and reaching inside to pull the two out with ease. She carried Topaz under one arm, and Earthshaker under the other. [color=9966CC]"But honestly, maybe thrashing your poor friend about like a little dolly [i]isn't exactly[/i] the best thing for her~?"[/color] She grinned down at the two girls before setting them down near their respective friends. 

[color=9966CC]"I mean, no one's even realized she's not even woken once? Shouldn't [i]that[/i] be your concern before trying to do anything else?"[/color] She tilted her head towards Tsubomi, pursing her lips in thought, then dissapeared again.

This time, she reappeared behind Hizuki with a hand resting on her shoulder.

[color=9966CC]"I for one am not one for martyring~ Care to leave those two to your friend? Don't worry, they're small fry in comparison~"[/color] Nocnista offered.
