The Neon Tempest was about to shout at the girl to target the bone giant instead, when, to her considerable surprise, the towering Giga Misera began to crumble apart, its shattered remains tumbling down the mountainside even as the last of the abominable avians were vaporized. Against all expectations, it seemed that Earthshaker’s concussive blows, coupled with those of The Voyeur’s shadowy golem, had been sufficient to destroy the titanic monstrosity. Nyxia almost couldn’t believe such a victory could even be possible, based on how much the entire club had struggled against this foe the first time they’d faced it, but the immensely satisfying surge of power flowing though the teal-haired terror was more than enough to convince her that the skeletal titan had indeed been slain. [color=Aquamarine][i]Huh. Guess it was just weaker in the sunlight…[/i][/color] Nyxia mused. However, further ruminations would have to wait until later, as a quick look over her shoulder revealed that what she had thought was a cloud momentarily blocking out the sun was, in fact, a giant, dark, lumpy sphere, composed of countless tangled tubes. And it was falling towards Hibusa High, with only the blazing rocket thrusters of Hizuki’s mech to slow it down. [color=Aquamarine]“Fuck…”[/color] the Neon Tempest hissed. At first, she aimed the Omega Obliterator at the ominous orb and prepared to charge up a focused death ray of exceptional potency, but even as she did this, the tealette terror saw Hizuki be subsumed by the knotted mass, making any attack against it risky in the extreme. [color=Aquamarine]“Shit!”[/color] Nyxia swore as she powered down her beloved energy cannon. [color=Aquamarine]“Ya said you could handle this, Hizuki,”[/color] she muttered. [color=Aquamarine]“I really hope you’re right…”[/color] As it happened, Nyxia wouldn’t have to wait long to find out. In a burst of color, the tangled sphere began to dissolve, revealing what was left of Hizuki’s mech holding the dark girl responsible for this whole shitstorm. Miss Apathy was probably there, too, hopefully after having been saved by some helpful soul more suited to the task than Nyxia. Probably. It seemed the battle was finally over, but Nyxia wasn’t about to let her guard down. Leaping over to a nearby rooftop which overlooked what remained of the school, the Neon Tempest pointed her oversized weapon at Black Gate, ready for any sign of renewed aggression or trickery.
