Everything after Suika's output reached its peak was a blur to her. In what seemed like a blink she found herself lying on the ground, having been lowered down by Hizuki's thrusters and Oros' quick thinking. 

[color=d3bf7b]"... dealing with brats like this is something I’m suited to dealing with."[/color]

Huh? Who was that?

[color=Aquamarine]“That’s fine by me, I’d be happy if I never saw that bitch again for the rest of my life.”[/color]

What? Did Nyxia even know about Black Gate? Was she in the dream?

Acid Drop's head was spinning.

[color=orange]"You're right, it's for the best."[/color]

Says who? 

As Acid Drop's eyes finally started sending their signals to her brain again, she saw Earthshaker [i]handing[/i] Black Gate to... some squid lady? She looked familiar, somehow. 

Without meaning to stand up, Acid Drop found herself on her feet. 

Without meaning to, she found herself using the last spark of energy she had. 

Without meaning to, she realized that she had a hand on Michi's shoulder, trying to keep her and Roche behind her and away from the unknown Magical Girl. Whatever was driving her, she didn't care. Something was wrong here.

[color=00aeef]"No, she-"[/color] That was all she could say. In an instant, her hand fell like the rest of her as she landed face-first onto the concrete, completely unconscious.

The last thing that Acid Drop heard was the sound of clapping.
