REEEEEEEE!"[/color] [color=888888]— Ani[/color] [hider=Ani] [b]Age: A/I | Gender: Female/AI | Light, Gravity Rocket Launcher/Rocket Hammer | Duplicate, Regeneration, Scrying | Musk (Puchuu) Awareness, Inheratence, Familiar, Overlay, Stitches, Gifted, Overcity Shift Magical Overload, Emergency Reinforcements, Job Satisfaction | Monstrous Form, Expendable, Cagey Amorphous body, Second Specialization | Eidolon, Broken Reincarnation[/b] [s]STR: 23 | AGI: 23 | VIT: 23 | MAG: 23 | LCK: 23[/s] STATS ARE A SCAM! [/hider][/center] It didn’t take Ani long to realize that no one was following her. After scanning the area, she noticed the cat door portal, which isn’t to be confused with the portal Mariette opened earlier, or the one Chloe used. Did Chloe use the same portal Mariette used? Either way, it wasn’t the same portal that lead to covington tower, which wasn't to be confused with the black mirror that could act as a portal, and- Fuck it, this was taken way too many *tokens to figure out. She could overcity shift, she could just place herself in the general vicinity of Covington tower. It was hard, but not impossible to orientate herself near the portal above the dark mirror. *[sup]Tokens are units of data processed by AI models. The more complex an operation is, the more tokens it needs to be broken down into in order to be properly understood by the AI.[/sup] As soon as she did, problems started instantly, with a ‘gravity shockwave’ and an assault from some angered spirits. The mirror may have been Mikayla’s domain, but Penrose belonged to its magical girls. Ani’s hands moved in front of her chest, both palms faced towards each other. No sooner did the gravity attack strike did Ani counter with her own gravity well. The magical girls coming through the cat door portal with her would not shoot up into space, but be gently pulled towards the tower. The use of a gravity well instead of trying to influence everyone’s gravity individually was a conscious calculation, as well as being much less mana intensive. Should the gravity shockwave try to crush everyone into the earth, the lower half of Ani’s gravity well would start pulling in the opposite direction, preventing further harm. As Ani sank, so did the well itself, hopefully bringing everyone to the tower. But like her unseen opponent, Ani’s spell was twofold. She made everyone coming through the portal invisible and created duplicates that got blasted away by Mikayla’s magic. Penny was not affected by this spell. Not because Ani disliked Penny, because she actually liked her after their brief interaction. If anything, she was annoyed that she was already taken. But her feelings did not come into her choice to exclude her. It was simply that Penny was a capable magical girl and could likely tank anything that came at her.

Speaking of, why was she going to waste more of her own time seeing one of her agents? Surely such a thing could wait. The main event was underway, and the bulk of her forces were already with her. If this queen was so dangerous, there was no reason to put off facing her. [color=violet]“Alright bone heads, let’s give the lightbulbs the backup they so desperately desire.”[/color] There was no cheering or spirit, just mindless obedience from most of her forces. A Gothizard Harvister picked up Chloe and placed her on its head. The rest of her forces surged forwards, swiftly but with a calm only the undead could possess.

A fourth possibility that Su hadn’t considered was that another magical girl would show up and attack the queen directly. Su groaned behind her helmet. While she had been okay letting this drag on ([s]gettit? Drag-on?[/s]) She had played along with both Mariette and the queen long enough. The longer this was put off, the more people were going to get hurt. They had thwarted Father’s plans, Soth’s too, they didn’t need the queen to defeat Asengav. And if they did, was it worth jeopardizing Penrose and everyone who lived there? [color=PeachPuff]“We should play somewhere else.”[/color] Su turned to look at the queen. [color=tomato]”You wanna play with her?”[/color] the red knight tipped her head. [color=tomato]”More people means more fun!”[/color] Mother and daughter charged the queen. Su had no intention of trying to hit her. She could just barely hit Mika like this, and doubted the cat girl would fare much better. But maybe while armored like this, they could at least provide a distraction. Until the pawn was ready to move to the end of the board.
