First, the sound of clanking footfalls could be heard, a less-than-pleasant indication that their rescuers had met with some form of opposition. Shortly thereafter, however, and the sound of a hammer blow heralded the opening of a small hole in the room’s wall. Apparently, Alexander had found a way of breaching the barrier, and, as the magical boy informed them, it wouldn’t be long before he’d made a hole big enough to permit unhindered passage into the corridor beyond. [color=DarkOrchid]“A-Are Ronin and M-Miko o-okay?”[/color] Connie inquired with a nervous frown. [color=SpringGreen]“Yes, it sounds as though you found some trouble out there,”[/color] Gaia added. Yet, as Alex continued to hammer away at the wall, the pair of friends’ question was answered by the strange sight they could glimpse through the ever-widening opening the magical boy was making. Ronin and Miko were fighting several animated suits of armor by having the later swing around the sword-wielding former, the bizarre tactic giving Ronin’s blade a greatly extended reach. Even so, not only was it highly unorthodox, it was also highly amusing, and as she watched, Gaia did her best to stifle a small giggle. The sight also called to mind a certain even more whimsically unorthodox magical girl, and Gaia couldn’t help but wonder just what comical antics she was up to right now… [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/udsgqgr.png[/img][/center] [center][hider=MDP Stats] [center][color=DeepPink][h2]Magical Dream Princess[/h2][/color] 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 4 | 9 | 4 | 24 | 9 Oddball: Sweet Dreams | Barrage Wealth and Resources (not while tf'd) | Enhanced Weapon | Power Artifact | Dual Weapon | Natural Aging | Money | Intuition Focused | Mental Link | Hidden Death | Mana Font | Mystic Might Alien Mind | Formless | Rival Force | Clueless [/center] [/hider][/center] [color=DeepPink]“Yay~! Yay~! Time to play~! (giggle!)”[/color] MDP cheered as she bounced into the midst of the chaotic combat, her little army of new friends following after her. [color=DeepPink]“Let’s capture wapture the castle wastle~! Like, don’t get hit, that’d be a hassle~!”[/color] she sang as she danced around and twirled her whimsical wand, sending prismatic streamers of sweet dream magic trailing behind her. Soon enough, she’d created a dream barrier that completely surrounded her group of friends, and no small number of the mermaid princess’s forces as well, turning all incoming attacks into harmlessly cute and cuddly (and sometimes even edible) items. Skipping over to where a line of card soldiers was distracted by all the other bizarre attackers besieging their castle, the Princess of Dreams playfully tapped each of them with her wand, sending the entire formation crumpling to the ground, while several stars and moons with cute faces began orbiting their craniums. [color=DeepPink]“Bonk those meanies on the head, and send their brainies off to bed~! (giggle!)”[/color]
