"Fluids pass through it huh?"— Suki OyamaFor some reason, that Evil Eye already knew, Oros started chuckling as soon as she said
"permeable by liquids." She didn’t stop until the golem pilot was done suggesting things Oros could do.
"Sure!" She finally managed.
"I think I’ve got something up my sleeve. Or rather, in my veins!" The top of the golem’s body squeezed out a (comparatively) tiny red tendril. It lashed at its surroundings, but Oros was unable to enjoy the same external view Evil Eye did. Fortunately there were no other magical girls around that might have gotten wrapped up in it.
There were a lot of bird creatures, and it seemed like the bone golem could spawn them as fast as the detention club could destroy them. Technolight zigged and zagged through the creatures as the giant shadow plowed through the rest. The bile at the shadow golem’s feet burned, but Evil Eye didn’t plan on standing in it for long. While the great shadow was shorter than its bony opposition, that didn’t stop it from shoulder checking the abomination’s hip. Its pelvis swung back, and it threw its foot behind itself to stop from tumbling backwards. Spider line cracks ran up and down its leg, and pale dust was shaken out of its wounds. The ivory golem noticed another attack coming in, and raised its arm to brace for it. When Earthshaker made contact, a chunk of bone was fired out of the repulsive creature’s arm.
It howled, not in pain, but out of
fury.More cracks formed over its body. Ivory plugs of bone were fired out like wine corks, and more black bile was spewed forth. This time there was no sign it was going to let up. The bile formed an acidic mist that burned everything around it, if it wasn’t drenched outright. And along with the bile came even more birds. They scattered as soon as they were released. The Giga miseria was pouring forth all the anger of the damned now. The former pets of Hibusa town rallying against sins only they knew.
Five of the undead birds merged together into a single being. Gore wove its bones together and collapsed its beaks into a single silhouette. With a single roar came five different voices, and it soared towards Roche beak first.
More birds swarmed around Nyxia, coming closer, but never quite reaching her position. They spat bile and rope, but it didn’t reach her.
The ivory giant drove its fist into where the shadow’s head should have been. While this didn’t reach Evil Eye, it did reach Oros. Where there had been a single harmless tendril there were now rows of saw toothed tendrils, giving the shadow golem a blood red mohawk. As the ivory giant pulled its hand back, the black golem was picked up along with it. The shadowy fibers around Oros were starting to tear, and the massive shadow was sinking ever so slightly.
"You’re the devil in disguise, oh yes you are~"— Black GateBlack Gate winced and ducked behind the ape.
"W-why are you so mad? Did you really-" There was a change in Black Gate’s desires. It was small, like a single bud on a sakura tree opening up. A few pink pedals in a sea of red hatred.
"I want friends, but, but, but-""How?" Mr Banana’s voice was firm. His eye was looking directly at Hizuki through the empty frame of his sunglasses.
"How could you expect us to trust you? How could you expect us to trust the club? How could you expect us to open up to anyone?!"Hizuki’s boosters would have set the school ablaze if there was anything left of it. The ape’s feet, being as hand-like as they were, gripped the concrete foundation. The fabric started to tear across his abdomen. First it was just a few threads coming loose from the earlier locust attack, but as the tear grew, it tore faster, and finally the suit ripped in half. The upper half of Mr Banana was carried into the sky. But inside his torso, a hundred or so Michis held the inside of Mr Banana’s costume together. Their bodies stretched as Haruna carried the ape’s torso higher into the sky. Their pristine black dresses stretched, and the pale flesh of their hands and faces stretched along with it. Before long they looked like white and black ribbons tethering the ape’s two halves together. Hizuki could feel every single one of their desires crying out at once, like a swarm of locusts making the exact same sound as they beat their wings. When Mr Banana spoke, a hundred other voices joined him.
"Tell mom and dad it’s not their fault… Do you know what she was trying to tell us, paladin? Do you think anything we’re doing today is any reflection of you? Or are you humble enough to see…"The Michi strands holding onto the ground snapped loose, and the lower half of the monkey suit went limp.
"...You’re just being an obstacle!"All of the Michi strands shot upwards like they were rubber bands. The sudden jolt threw Mr Banana out of Hizuki’s grip, and far above her. Black Gate stumbled backwards, but before she could fall off of her friend, one of the Michi strands grabbed her and pulled her inside the cluster. She disappeared from sight.
Then all of the Michis started to stretch out again, wrapping around each other, forming a giant knot of self loathing and fear. Black Gate’s desires, still unclear, were swiftly buried under the desires of the other Michis. As they continued to twist and knot upon each other, they grew even bigger than Mr Banana, far bigger. As their knot grew tighter, they swelled into tubes and looked nothing like the girl they once represented. Their massive form flew in front of the sun, and Hibusa town was eclipsed.
"You see innocence wherever you look, we see only sinners.""But we treat everyone the same."
"We are more alike than we’d like to admit." Mr Banana, Black Gate, and a hundred or so Michis descended onto Hizumi. While her thrusters were keeping her aloft, it was clear she was being pushed closer to the ground.
