"What's this? An unannounced guest?" The crow laughed its hideous, croaking laugh once more. "I'd cry shame on you for eavesdropping, but that would make me quite the hypocrite!" Indeed, the familiar seemed quite amused by the whole situation, and Kazamyr himself was quite happy to sit back and watch how the Master of Assassin reacted to this latest development. Even he hadn't been expecting this... For Lancer to get here so quickly, does she have some kind of ability? Or is she simply that fast?

Either way, he found himself liking this new Servant. She'd made things interesting.

"You could be bluffing," the familiar said to Lancer after the other Master was done speaking, "but the young lady here is right: we have tastier fish to fry. Out of respect for Assassin's skill, and our newfound alliance, we'll accept your two days' respite." It eyed her with a tilt of its head. "Be sure to convey our gratitude to your Master."

Of course, Lancer's offer couldn't be trusted. For all he knew she might be someone famous for her lies and betrayals... But then, even if he half-expected her to come after him tomorrow, at this moment it would be more advantageous to take on an unprepared Caster than a powerful Lancer, especially when the latter seemed to know about his Servant. Her words and her appearance had given him some clues as to who she might be, but he'd need more time to form a solid hypothesis regarding her identity— unless Rider knew something he didn't.

Hikari was being slow, but it didn't matter: Tokiko had this fight in the bag. Just a few moments more, and Naoko would taste the power of the TESLA ☆ P—

No, wait, why was she running away?! "Hey! Get back here, I'm not finished with you yet!" Tokiko sprinted off in pursuit of Naoko, snatching up her backpack along the way, but it was already too late. Where Oni had a reputation for their strength, mad scientists were known for being physically weak, and this carried over to Tokiko's magical girl form. Before she even got halfway down the alleyway, she was panting from the exertion, her gait wobbly and unbalanced.

Damnit! She was too slow to stop Naoko from reaching the other magical girls, and could only watch in horror as the enemy made a massive swing with her kanabo.

"Hi... HIKARI!!!"

Something rushed past her, a streak of green and grey. Her Archetype, sensing an order in her shout, and obeying with monstrous strength and speed.

Ignoring Naoko, the monstergirl raced to where Hikari had fallen, screeching to a halt and kneeling down with a frown of concern. Her massive hands carefully reached out and lifted the magical girl off the ground, then set her gently back on her feet.

Tokiko was only just catching up. "Hikari! Are you okay?" Slowing to a halt, she looked the brightly-clad girl up and down. Hikari seemed relatively uninjured— either she was incredibly tough, or she'd managed to block Naoko's attack. "You're... you're okay!" For a moment, just a moment, a smile appeared on Tokiko's features. Not a maddened grin or a sadistic smirk, but a real, genuine smile of relief.

And then one second later she was back to her usual self. "You dummy! Dimwit! Blockhead! Now they've gotten away!" She paced back and forth, gesturing angrily. "I told you not to become a magical girl! Don't you know what would have happened if you'd gotten hit by that attack? You could have gotten hurt! And now maybe you will get hurt, because you're a magical girl and it's Hex Night and everyone's going to be coming after you!" She grimaced, her fingers digging into her hair. "And it's all your fault! Those girls came to get you, and you got me all wrapped up in your dumb fight! And you'd better be thankful for that, since if it wasn't for me you'd be in an ambulance right now! Not that it was worth my effort saving a dummy like you..."

Tokiko didn't seem like she was about to stop, and her rant might continue for ages if she wasn't interrupted. Beside Hikari, the monstergirl was yawning, apparently used to seeing her master blow up like this.

@VitaVitaAR
"Waaaaaaaaaaaah!" Tokiko's pet monstergirl suddenly jumped away, her hands sizzling and smoking as if she'd stuck them into a fire. "Ai ai ai ai aiiiii!" She blew on her fingers, desperately trying to cool them down.

"Hey! Don't let go of her, you coward!" Tokiko scowled with irritation. Of course the oni girl would have an inconvenient power like that. Though now that it was just one opponent... "Fine then, I'll step it up a notch as well!" She beckoned to her Archetype. "Eve, get back here!"

"Uuuu..." The monstergirl looked quite put out by her master's anger, but nevertheless hopped quickly backwards, retreating from Naoko's heat and returning to Tokiko's side. "Arm!" the magical girl barked at her, and she extended one of her giant arms to the side, letting the mad scientist grab it and shift it into position. Without hesitation, Tokiko jabbed the electrodes of her Tesla cannon into Eve's skin.

"COMBIIIIINE!"

The electrical weapon came apart, just as the taser had before— but this time, rather than reassembling in midair, all the parts and pieces gathered around the monstergirl's hand, clicking into place in a configuration roughly resembling brass knuckles, with electrodes extending outward from Eve's fist.

"Go!" The metal probably wouldn't hold up for long against Naoko's heat, so they'd need to make this next shot count. Eve lunged forwards again, closing in on her opponent and drawing her upgraded left arm back, while her right arm was raised in front of her in a stiff guard. Tokiko, meanwhile, took the opportunity to shout over at Hikari. "You found it yet? Hurry up over there!"

He'd given the Master of Assassin an opportunity. A chance to work together and immediately close in on some of their opponents, to use their combined might to wipe out one or more of the enemy pairings on the very first night, and thus drastically increase their own odds of claiming the Grail. Any mage worth their salt would have jumped at such an offer.

Instead, Kazamyr (and the dead crow through which he spoke) found himself stunned into silence by her response.

The bird stared at the young woman as the Master of Rider struggled to understand what the hell had just happened. Was this girl actually that naive, or was she trying to mess with him, make him underestimate her? No... That comment about Servants and mana was the key. She seemed completely uncertain about how they worked, and that could only mean one of two things: either she wasn't a mage, or she was such a novice that she could barely be considered one.

... how interesting. On the one hand, it made her less powerful as an ally, since she wouldn't be able to offer much besides the power of her Servant. On the other hand, it made her perfect. Who better to align oneself with than a Master completely ignorant of the backstabbing ways of mages? This was someone who could be manipulated, or at least trusted not to turn against him at the earliest opportunity.

"You're new to this, aren't you?" the familiar said at last. A puff of air came out of its beak, something like a sigh. "It would be pleasant, perhaps, if we could resolve this through some other means. A game show, or a race... but this is not a Holy Grail Game, Miss. This is a Holy Grail WAR. There are Masters in this town who would not hesitate to give up lives, honor, even their own happiness, in order to obtain their wish!" It narrowed its eyes at her. "Mercy is not an option. A Master could maybe be left alive, if not a threat on their own, but for this ritual to be complete... Servants will have to die." It ruffled its wings, as if to emphasize the point. "So will it be theirs, or yours? Choose quickly, Master of Assassin..."

One moment, light was glowing at the tip of Tsukimi's spear, and Tokiko's hand was tense on her weapon, ready to respond to the opponent's attack...

...and the next, Hikari was bursting out of her magical bubble, now clad in the colors of fire and armed with a massive hammer. Tokiko had been expecting a transformation, but even so she found herself squinting in surprise. Her hair color changed! In comparison to Tsukimi's generic, cutesy costume and Tokiko's rather scrappy appearance, the redhead (for she was a redhead now) appeared radiant as the sun.

Better yet, she immediately turned her new power as a magical girl towards the task of finishing off the spear-wielder, which made things a great deal easier for the mad scientist.

"You should pay attention to your own fight!" In the blink of an eye Tokiko's arm snapped around, turning the electrodes of her Tesla Cannon towards Naoko. CRACK! Another bolt of electricity lit up the alleyway, passing over the monstergirl and striking the heavy spiked kanabo.

Unfortunately for 'Steel Rod' Naoko, steel was a good conductor of electricity, and her rod (which had been stuck pointing up in the air thanks to the monstergirl's efforts) now became a superhighway for Tokiko's attack, delivering the shock straight into the magical girl's body! Of course, even Tsukimi had managed to survive this attack, and there was no way it would take down someone like Naoko— but Tokiko didn't need the bolt to knock her out. She only needed to stun the opponent for a fraction of a second, and create an opportunity for Eve.

"RAAAAAAARGH!"

The instant Naoko was hit, the monstergirl shifted her hold and slammed the magical girl face-first into the asphalt, pinning her down and wrenching one arm up behind her back. The oni-themed warrior might have been strong and tough, but raw power alone wouldn't be enough to break her out of a submission hold!

"You got too cocky," Tokiko tutted, already charging her electric blaster for another shot. "If you're going to call me Sensei, then let this be your lesson, Naoko-chan. Against an opponent like me, you can't let yourself get distracted!"

Without looking away, she raised her voice. "You hear that, Hikari-kun? If you're going to be a fool and try to join our fight, then pay attention. That girl with the spear should have a little glass marble on her somewhere; you need to break it before she wakes up."

@VitaVitaAR
Tokiko frowned. She'd landed a good hit, but... Damn it, I hate the persistent ones. The longer this dragged out, the greater chance there was of another enemy noticing and showing up to take advantage. Why did I even start this fight? I should have just gone to the cafe like I'd planned...

Eve had struck a solid blow as well, but her opponent was proving even more resilient. As Naoko stepped back, the Archetype advanced to match, and when the magical girl raised her kanabo again a huge hand jabbed out and closed around her wrist, holding her arm in place. The monstergirl smirked. That weapon was powerful, but if she could restrain the arm of its wielder, she'd never get a chance to swing it!

... or at least, that was the plan. Eve's muscular limb began to jerk and tremble as her strength was pit against Naoko's, one seeking to wrench her arm free whilst the other tried to hold it still. And the monstergirl, for all her power, was losing the contest of might.

"Uuuuu!" Her eyes widened, and she glanced desperately at her master. For the briefest of instants, Tokiko met her eyes, and nodded.

The Archetype knew, then, that she was going to be okay. Her master had a plan! She just needed to hold on a little longer! Gritting her teeth, she redoubled her efforts, using her free hand to grab at Naoko's other arm and try to force her back. "GraaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Meanwhile, Tokiko turned her attention back to her other opponent. "So you're a masochist, is that it?" She raised her Tesla Cannon, now crackling with electricity as it charged itself up again. "Or did you think I could only fire one time before I got tired? It's not like I'm a boy, you know!" Another exaggerated laugh. "Whatever technique you can pull off with that silly needle, I'll just blast it and you away with my next shot! Give up already!"

Bait laid, trap set. It was just a matter of timing now... or was it? Tokiko's eyes shifted momentarily towards Hikari. The only uncertain factor... of course it would be her. The battlefield was balanced on a knife's edge, and that stubborn shorty had put herself right in the middle of things. Whatever she did next could turn the tide completely in favor of one side of the other.

In that moment, Tokiko couldn't help but smile at the absurdity of it all. I really shouldn't have bumped into her... but who could have anticipated that one small girl would cause so much trouble?

@VitaVitaAR
It was two-on-two! Or technically, if one were counting by the number of magical girls, two-on-one! Somehow, Tokiko had gotten herself caught up in a difficult situation...

"Uuuaaaaaah!" The monstergirl might have taken that first kick fairly well, but even she was wary of the kanabo, ducking back to keep out of reach of its spiky head. As the weapon screamed past, however, she charged straight at her opponent, and drove one elbow forwards to try and slam into Naoko before she could reverse the momentum of her swing. That weapon was probably an Archetype, meaning it would pack a hell of a punch, but if Eve could get in close enough she'd be able to restrict its movements!

At the same time, Tokiko faced another threat: Tsukimi was coming at her again and now she didn't have her Archetype to defend her. Tokiko herself wasn't much good in an up-close fight, and even a weaker enemy as weak as the spear girl might be able to overwhelm her if she closed in. But! I still have some tricks up my sleeve... Narrowing her eyes, she pointed her taser straight at the oncoming opponent. "UPGRAAAAAAADE!"

The weapon seemed to explode in her hands, shattering into its component parts: batteries, circuits, electrodes, and even the plastic casing came apart and floated in midair. Then green-tinted lightning crackled through the cloud of broken pieces, and they came together again, reassembling into an entirely different configuration. It looked something like a gun, but jagged and jumbled, as if a crazy person had assembled it in their basement without reading the instructions properly... and instead of a barrel, two gleaming electrodes were pointed straight at Tsukimi.

To you, that needle is a weapon... but to me, it's just a lightning rod! Tokiko cackled with delight. "Take this! The power of a storm, harnessed by the genius of humankind!
"TESLAAAAAAAA ☆ CANNOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!"

She squeezed the trigger, and her yell was almost drowned out by an almighty CRACK as a bolt of blazing electricity burst out from her weapon and slammed into Tsukimi, drawn by the extended point of her spear.

@VitaVitaAR
"Frankenstein-sensei over there might talk a tough game, but she did intervene to protect that girl like an idiot, right?"

Tokiko turned bright red. "N-no I didn't! I just wanted to get rid of you after you came and attacked us, that's all!" She crossed her arms and shook her head, trying to emphasize the point. "There's no way I'd care about a nuisance like her. Not in a million years!"

Beside her, the monstergirl giggled, and Tokiko snapped her head around to glare at her familiar. "Shut up! I'm being serious, here!" She turned back to the spear-girl with a scowl. "If you want to beat me, fine, give me your best shot. I'll show you just how outclassed you are—"

And then someone came flying in and kicked her Archetype. Oh, for heaven's sake, why do people keep butting in today?!

'Eve' had anticipated that something might happen. As a new enemy came flying at her, she raised one arm and blocked the kick, getting knocked back a little but otherwise seeming mostly unharmed. "Grrr..." Rather than immediately strike back, she moved to position herself between the new attacker and Tokiko, acting as a shield against any follow-up attacks. Whoever this might be, she wasn't going to let them hurt her master!

@VitaVitaAR
"Ha! Aaaaheehahahahahaaaa!" Tokiko was laughing again. "Maybe you're right, Fairy-chan, but isn't that a bit cruel?"

Her expression darkened. "You could have waited a week, even a few days, and then made her a happy magical girl who defeats lots of shades. But instead you come to her now, and nearly get her killed." She teetered to one side, gesturing restlessly with her taser. "A new magical girl on the eve of Hex Night? She'll be toast. No allies, no experience, and she probably won't even know what her Archetype is. If you gift her with magic now, you'll just be setting her up to lose, and lose hard." She sighed. "Honestly, putting her in hospital might have been the more merciful thing to do..."

And then she grinned, and shrugged. "...but why should I care? Only someone as weak as Miss Needle over here would see a newbie like her as a threat. In fact, it might even be fun to see such a irritating person fall into despair!" She laughed again. "Do it, Hikari! Fight, and fail, and then wallow in your own defeat!"

Whilst Tokiko gloated, her Archetype was frowning, sniffing at the air. Almost as if it sensed something amiss...
