-Land of Magic-


”The ship didn't sustain any damage at all,” Penny announced as she clambered out of Earth Bastion's interior, and dusted off her hands while smiling. She wasn't sure if the ship had the structural integrity to survive a crash landing, but was glad to know that wasn't the case. She was about to ask the others how they were doing when she was left speechless as she saw the world of magic that unfolded before her eyes.
”Whoah...Looks ominous.” She then turned to take a look around the ship, and noticed Makoto on the deck.
”Hey, you're the girl who made the fancy jump! What do you want?” She asked, and took a battle-ready stance, her fists clenched.



Libby Bibby played golf with her hammer a fair bit distance from the ship, and launched a ball far into the distance, seemingly ignoring the looks she got from the others. Still, even with her careless attitude, it seemed she was not entirely oblivious, as she bounced right toward Silhouette's direction. Despite the assassin's exceptional ability for stealth, it became clear to Silhouette that Libby was able to detect her, as she gave the lurking girl in the darkness a quick giggle and wink before skipping her way back to the ship. When their gazes met, only the Dark Magical Girl hidden in the shadows could see that for the briefest moment, as if she simply imagined it, the pupils of her eyes turned to vertical slits. She twirled her way to Eli and Alicia, and clasped her hands behind her back as she leaned over to look at Eli. She giggled while looking at the slime harpy with glee.
"Snap trap? That slaps my lap like a clap flap! You're funny! Libby Bibby likes Ellie!" She suddenly yawned, opening her mouth wide.
"I'll have a nap!" And just like that, she dropped to the deck's floor in a cartoony fashion, and began snoring loudly with her eyes closed, making a snot bubble.

Helga shook her head at Libby's ridiculous behavior, and sighed as she glanced at Eli and Mariette.
"Well, about that..." She rested her clawed hands on one of the ship's railings; she had a pained expression plastered on her face.
"Justine didn't speak much of it, but there was a reason she kidnapped Magical Girls; she wanted their blood to use in a ritual that makes the world, uh, 'pure'. I never understood what it meant, but I guess it would involve her summoning my former Patron...Father. We can't let that happen." She nodded at Suwako's words, and gripped the railing as Earth Bastion began moving. Then, the crystal gates to the Overcity opened, and a winged Magical Girl, Olesya, walked outside. She would see the strange vehicle ridden by the girls, and even stranger crew spread on and around it, including a few monster girls.

However, before Amber had a chance to steer the vehicle in the lamp's direction, it began shining brightly; Mariette recognized the image of a flaming eye projecting from the crystal, until it melted into a pool of viscous red blood. And then, everyone heard distant noises. At first they were indiscernible, until they began resembling demonic roars.
"Oh no! They're coming!" Helga shouted, looking frantically at the lamp, and then around them. Makoto was the first to see that from the forests and mountains charged forth elephant-sized monsters of red and black. They numbered ten in total, with gaping voids in place of faces and spiked tails flailing behind their lumbering forms as the quadruped beasts bounded over the checkerboard fields. Olesya would clearly see how these unnatural abominations came running, obviously intending to attack the girls. Mariette would also recognize these creatures as well when they drew near, their terrifying forms illuminated by the light that Sol Invictus had blessed the ship with:
I assume this would be an Arena RP?
@DarkRecon
That talk happened in the past, and Elise will talk to Maria in my next post.

I'm pretty sure everyone's subscribed to the RP thread, but I'll make a quick tag in case anyone missed the new post.
The police closed in on Earth Bastion, having blocked off all roads of escape with their cars. They were about to attempt boarding the ship when they were met with a terrifying sight: a black tendril burst from the ground and flew through the air, followed by a flash of iridescent colors as the portal was formed. The law enforcement was so taken aback by the unnatural phenomena that they retreated wherever there was cover, in alleyways and behind civilian cars. "What the hell is that!" One could be heard shouting, while another simply stared, frozen from fear. "Open fire!" A voice rang out, and the police began shooting at the Earth Bastion, incurring no damage to it's magically enhanced ironsides. With a mighty roar, the rolling ship charged through the portal, followed by a group of mysterious strangers that slipped through unnoticed, and finally closed.

First, there was the feeling of weightlessness and sight-obscuring light, as the ship plunged through the magical gateway, thrown to another plane of existence. It was followed by the sound of sparkling and wooshing, a sound of something hitting dirt hard and finally, silence. The blinding light gave way to a most unusual sight: the Earth Bastion now stood in the middle of a field dominated by an endless checkerboard pattern, and a sky with countless shooting stars, as if it was raining starlight. In the distance, one could see a forest, with clumps of trees growing from the chromatically arranged squares, as well as mountains with unnatural shapes, such as curls and flat-tops.



The landscape was dotted by the occasional ruin of a civilization from another time and place. The air felt lighter and more pure, lacking any kind of manmade pollution. However, it was also a dangerous place, as one could hear the guttural howl of something alien to their home dimension, and a dragon-like being could be seen flying high above. It was truly a world of magic, where greater beings took refuge in the beauty, but one where monsters also roamed as they pleased.



Mariette had placed the portal some distance away from where she last arrived there, but the general scenery was familiar enough for the Dark Magical Girl to recognize. However, she could see that the world had changed from her last visit: while there were still stars in the sky, she could no longer see galaxies. There was also a haze of darkness that covered the land, and black mist could be seen parting against a rock; even if it was the middle of the day, it resembled night. Most notably, there was a crescent moon in the horizon, in a color all too familiar to everyone on this perilous journey: blood red.



"Uaaaah!" Libby Bibby exclaimed in awe, and bounced off the Earth Bastion's deck to peer around at her surroundings. "Salaca doo la menthicka boo la bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" She sang, spinning around in utter joy with her arms stretched to her sides, her red eyes staring brightly at the sky. Helga did not react as strongly, though she did raise an eyebrow at Libby. However, her attention was soon drawn by seeing the crescent blood moon. "Crap, Justine's already begun the ritual." As the crew adjusted to their new surroundings, Mariette noticed the blood moon to be in Justine's direction, while in the exact opposite direction was the place for which the entire plane derived it's name from: the Overcity itself. It is a massive, grand metropolis, with towers reaching the clouds and giant palaces peeking out form beyond a crystal wall surrounding it. It is a location every Patron knows, for it is a nexus for these magical beings to cross the multiverse, inhabited by magical girls and other beings of arcane inclination. "Justine said she had attempted to enter the city before in the past, but failed. Now I can see why," Helga commented, while Libby Bibby played hopscotch with the checkerboard ground, occasionally flashing a strange smile. As all this was going on, only Alexander would notice a distant lamp post of gothic design, upon which shone not a regular lamp, but a purple crystal the size of a volleyball.





Justine stood at a balcony, her hand resting on the railing. She intently stared at the moon, her lips curled into a smile.
"So beautiful...Yet, I can't help but feel sorrow, and pain. I wonder if it is the same for you, my sweet sister."
She created a magic circle on her palm, and peered through it. "Ever since you were broken by love, your heart consumed by madness, I never knew how you truly felt. All I wanted was to make you happy. Yet, my embrace only grieved you further, and my affection pushed you away. Only in suffering could you smile. But it is not the smile I remember, but one warped by cruelty and sin of man." She closed the circle by clutching her hand into a fist, and flapped her black wings. "But Father gave us a way, a chance to redeem this terrible existence. Father will set us free, Caroline. From your pain, and mine, and everyone."

The vampiric girl turned back, and entered through the open door back to the throne room. There, Sonia waited for him, as well as a woman with long red hair, crouched before the throne.
"Meddling children have arrived," Justine spoke coldly, and took the goblet of blood from Sonia's tray.
"Do you understand what this means?" Sonia asked, and the woman nodded.
"I understand. The Curie Corps will repel the intruders."
"Also...Once you see the mark, you are allowed to use it." Sonia gasped.
"My Lady, you can't mean...."
"Yes...The Final Solution." Justine's fangs showed as she said it in a grin.
"Really? Oh, thank you so much, Lady Justine!" And with that, the woman walked away, followed by Sonia, and Justine sat on her throne, with a little smile as she sipped on her goblet.

"I will let you play around with them for a bit. After all, I do love spoiling my sweet sister with a bit of pudding, hm hm~"
@DarkRecon
Not at all.
@PlatinumSkink
As long as it's in the general area, then that's fine. I'll start planning the next post, and it should be out this week.

Edit: It is out.
@PlatinumSkink

Speaking of portal location, I assume you placed it nearby the place she previously was at when visiting the dimension? If so, I'll assume Amber drove through and the bastion crew has crossed over.
