The impact hurt; this armor wasn't actually meant for close combat. She could hear the conjured metal screeching even before the titanic primate closed a fist around her. It wasn't really possible to get a solid grip on something doing its best to be fighter jet-shaped without crushing it a little, and this hadn't exactly been a careful capture. 

Still, she ignored it. Or maybe she felt like she deserved it. It didn't really matter.

As she was hurled at Nyxia, she dimly picked up a flare of desires from Tsubomi. That didn't really matter right now, either. 

She let her crumpled armor fall away and dissipate. This particular suit wasn't very important for what had to happen next. The entire club couldn't defeat Michi and the approaching giga miseria at once. Their ability to deal with one or another was dubious, but she could contribute something useful to them, this time. If there wasn't enough firepower in one club to fight both threats, then Hizuki would simply have to add an entire club's worth of firepower. 

Hizuki turned her tumble through the air into a controlled spin, something she then converted into a hover - a less clumsy one than the unsteady floating Evil Eye had seen when they first encountered one another in a shady club. [color=yellow]"I'll take care of her,"[/color] she called out toward the rest of the detention club. [color=yellow]"Protect the students and the town."[/color] Without waiting for a response, she flew toward Black Gate and her [i]one and only friend.[/i]

One of her blue, hexagonal gates shimmered into existence ahead of her. Then, another, and another, until six floated in her path. [color=yellow]"Engage: ZERO!"[/color] Hizuki flew through all of them in sequence, shining like her self-given title with each one. As a streak of light, she slammed into the ground ahead of the dark girl who had declared the club her foes. 

The silhouette that stood in the path of the gargantuan stuffed animal was easily twice the height of the girl that had gone in. Twin rotary cannons rose from its shoulders, with powerful mechanized arms terminating in robotic fists. One held an oversized version of Hizuki's Sweet Arm. Eight bladelike wings fanned out from its back, each with a sleek drone hovering just past the tip. Powerful legs supported a sturdy torso, each with its own set of jets that still glowed with barely-restrained energy. As the dust cleared, the spear folded itself up and retracted into the mech's arm, allowing it to take up a braced position not unlike a sumo wrestler preparing for their opponent. 

[color=yellow]"This ends now, one way or another."[/color] Hizuki's voice rang out from within the armor, a tinny note to it as it came through a speaker. She could only manage this for about five minutes, but during those five minutes, Hizuki the Daybreak was free of her own limits. All the strength, all the speed, and all the ferocity she could muster at any time, brought to bear all at once in the face of a foe that seemed overwhelming.
