The conflict of Nightmares was disturbed ever slightly by a clash of magical power. Two Magical Girls, one of light and one of shadow, exchanged blows with each other without a regard for anyone or anything else. But their battle had very real consequences for either side. The building they fought upon practically shattered into little more than raining piles of rubble, miniature meteors that were about to slam into the night life populace below.

Not that any Dark Magical Girl would care, but frankly it was hard to hide dropping a building in the middle of Miso City. That was why quick shots of ice were blasted out, each one of them catching the remains of the building and holding them firm like a bridge. A few almost made it to their mark here and there, but no causalities were had thanks to a not so happy ice-wielder. No doubt Kanbaru would have some hot words for her partner when this was over…

The main event however, had taken an interesting twist. The flow of Nightmares, once clamoring atop of themselves to get at Mari, now pulsed with confusion as she came to them instead. A good chunk were destroyed by her heavy landing, dissipating into nothing, before the rest of the swarm reacted in kind. Like a wave of black, they clawed and scratched greedily behind Mari, eager to consume her light and destroy her. It left their backs wide open for the other Magical Girl.

By now what was left of the horde was a few far and below. Between those Nightmares who broke off to engage the other Magical Girls, those following Mari had reduced to a number that any one of them could manage. And with the other girls slaying their prey quickly and without remorse, it was only a matter of time before this night’s hunt would come to an end. Yes, the sensation of approaching power was probably buzzing in all of the Dark Magical Girls.

But with the Nightmares being picked off one by one, it would eventually leave Mari alone with them. Whether or not they were cruel enough to fight her for her ideals or let her scour off for the night depended on the teamwork and negotiation exuded by those following the shadows. As the Nightmares vanished one by one, slain or purified, it was as if Miso City itself held its breath on this chilly night…

Just a reminder that Magical Girls and Nightmares appear invisible to ordinary people. Other than that, your post is good.

As opposed to purifying the lingering darkness, they directly absorb it.

As expected of the Dark Magical Girls, none of them noticed the civilians of Miso City’s night life being attacked by the Nightmares. In the dark alleyways, many a youth were assaulted by an enemy they could not see. However, there was no pain or even physical determent in their plight, but rather a gradual acceptance to a new reality. For Nightmares did not maim their prey but feed delicately, and the collection of the dark creatures hovered over the citizen’s heads.

Slow streams of blue energy, invisible only to a magical eye, were being sucked out of the humans. And the more each Nightmare consumed, the more joy was robbed of their victim’s hearts, replacing positive emotions with negativity. Not that it had much of a tactical use anyway, as any Dark Magical Girl could attest to. While all of them remained focused on the swarmed horde high in the rooftops, there was one who would come to the night’s rescue.

Beams of potent light picked off Nightmares one by one, saving the civilians in the alleyways from any permanent damage to their hearts. But the stronger light was, the deeper its shadow was cast. Such was the case now, unfortunately. If the Dark Magical Girls didn’t notice the Hag before, they certainly would now. While those Nightmares engaged with their magical foes continued to fight, swiping with claws and slashing with tendrils, the horde itself slowly turned away.

They swerved, drawn in by the purity of a Magical Girl who still served the light. Jumping into each other like a mixing, melding wave of black, the rush of Nightmares not in combat soon surged right in the Hag’s direction. They splurged one way and then another, crawling along the side of buildings to reach her position. No doubt they would attract the fallen maidens fighting them too. Whatever happened next could only be decided by a Magical Girl.
