Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

The light seemed to suffuse her very being, flowing through her. A gentle, pleasant warmth spread from her chest, then throughout her entire body, filling every part of her with such a wonderful feeling.

Hikari let out a sigh.

When she opened her eyes, the fact that all of her clothing had somehow dissipated into nothing didn't even dawn on her. She was in some sort of barrier, a brilliant world of warmth and magic. Was this... was this how becoming a magical girl felt?

From the outside, it would seem as if the small brunette had suddenly disappeared into an orb of light. A typical protective field to defend a magical girl during her transformation.

The light flowed across her body, forming clothing. A ribbon, and then... it coalesced into the form of a kimono, a somewhat less traditional, frilly orange one, with a layered red skirt that appeared in a sudden burst of fire. Indeed, each item of clothing, even the ribbons in her hair, suddenly appeared with a burst of flames after initially forming from the resplendent light.

But somehow, it felt like that suited her!

As it flowed across her legs, it formed a pair of frilled thigh-highs, and finally a set of platform geta, extending her height by a fair amount.

And then...

With a flash of flames, a long handle, and then the great head of a hammer appeared. As she reached out to grip it, with surprise, she noticed that the rear of the head resembled a dragon, the front somehow appearing to be a bell...

Hikari swung it, once, experimentally, then gripped it in both hands.

The light faded away, and Hikari's geta clacked on the concrete ground. Immediately, unable to help it, she looked down at herself in awe. This... had really happened! She was really wearing that outfit, holding that hammer... She was really a magical girl! She hadn't even noticed her hair had turned a brilliant red, eyes intensely orange.

"I... I really transformed!" she exclaimed.

"Of course," replied the fairy, brightly, "Now you're a real magical girl!"

As much as Hikari wanted to take all of this in, there wasn't much time to do so. She had no idea what she could do, or how this hammer worked, but she had to try something to intervene... Hikari drew her hammer back over her shoulder...

"... Gaah, I screwed up... but I'll take you out!" declared Tsukimi, her attention focusing once again on Tokiko, "Take a good, long look! This is my Killing Needle: Death of the Deathle-"

She didn't complete her attack.

There was the sound of fireworks being set off, and Hikari suddenly rocketed in from the side! Her hammer slammed into the distracted Tsukimi, propelled by the fireworks like a rocket! It wasn't a particularly practiced attack, but all that was needed right now was force. The impact lifted the other girl off her feet and sent her hurtling through the air, slamming into the wall across the alley with enough force to break through it entirely!

Naoko, who had been pushing her strength against the monstergirl, was momentarily distracted by the sudden display of the new magical girl's abilities.

"Ohhh, so she's all about high impact too, huh?!" she declared, brightly, uncaring for the fact that another opponent had just been created, "You okay, Tsukimi-chan?"

Tsukimi, knocked completely senseless, wasn't exactly in a position to respond.

"If you want to become a magical girl... you simply have to tell me! Say 'I want to be a Magical Girl'! I've already determined you have the potential, that's all I need!"

She had the potential... that was all she needed. Hikari took a deep breath. This was all crazy, and apparently there was something happening soon, something dangerous and frightening that involved magical girls as a whole... but that wasn't something she was going to let discourage her.

The brunette couldn't just sit there and watch any longer, and there was no way she could ever pass up the opportunity to become a magical girl. And...

"That girl made me so angry, she's so irritating... But I... I can't let her fight alone, and I can't pass up the kind of opportunity I've been hoping for... So... I want to be a magical girl!"

"That's great!" chirped the fairy, cheerfully, "Now hold still..."

She raised one small hand to Hikari's chest, and...!

Naoko grinned as she saw the elbow crashing towards her, and raised her arm defensively. The blow from the monstergirl clearly rocked her entire frame, but as a testament to the strength Steel Rod Naoko was renowned for, she didn't falter. Nearly any other magical girl would be knocked flat, but the oni girl stayed on her feet, her grin becoming only slightly less strained.

"Heheh, this is a pretty good matchup for me! Two girls with a monster theme, duking it out-that's pretty kickass, right? Even if you're not really a magical girl 'n all!" she declared, raising her kanabo back for another blow as she stepped back. Even if her arm did hurt, it was clear she wasn't letting it distract her!

"Tesl-"

Tsukimi's eyes widened in surprise when the bolt of electricity fired, and she was barely able to summon a circular barrier between herself and the electrical blast, and when it slammed into her it still immediately shattered the crimson shield and sent her flying back, slamming into the wall at the end of the alley, where two alleyways intersected. Smoking slightly, the spear-wielding magical girl slid down the wall and lay still...

... For a moment. Wincing as she slowly raised herself to her feet, giving a wavering smile, the girl used her spear to help herself get up.

"Heh... I might not be too s-strong... but I'm good at getting back on my feet!"

She spun her spear in her hands, taking a ready stance once more.

"If that's your game, I'll just have to respond in kind!"

Her strained smile turning into a somewhat vicious grin, the visage of the spear suddenly shattered.

And what was underneath...

The description of the spear as a needle suddenly became far more accurate. It was a huge, unusually-shaped needle, with strange inscriptions on the side, balanced in Tsukimi's hands.

"This is my Killing Needle, Frankenstein-sensei!" she asserted, still bearing that vicious grin, "Of course, it won't kill another magical girl, but it'll sure hurt!"

As she spoke, a red light began to build at the needle's tip, slowly spreading across it...

But then...

Magical energy flowed through Hikari's body, as the fairy ignited the dreams in her heart.

A brilliant light flashed, concealing her within a defensive barrier as she began to undergo her first transformation as a magical girl!

The figure that rose, grinning widely, after she kicked the monstergirl didn't have an entirely human appearance herself. But that was hardly unheard of. Some magical girls were physically influenced by their concepts and archetypes, after all. But... the oversized kanabo, the horns, the oddly shameless manner of dress combined with the Japanese theme...

It was Steel Rod Naoko, one of the stronger magical girls in Tokyo. Her grin displayed her sharp-looking fangs, as she rested her kanabo on her shoulder.

"Heeeh, Tsukimi-chaaaan?" she asked, craning her neck towards the spear-wielding girl, now identified as Tsukimi, "Not only did you go starting a fight before the Hex Night started, but you kicked it off without me? You're being pretty naughty."

She waved a finger in an admonishing fashion, still grinning as she did. She didn't seem all that bothered, if Hikari was being honest.

"But now that I'm here, I'm hardly going to pass up the opportunity, right? Frankenstein-sensei!"

Turning abruptly on her heel, she dragged the kanabo through the street, grinding a long gash in the asphalt as she turned, swinging it heavily towards the monstergirl as she did.

Tsukimi seemed to relax, her shoulders sagging, before she glanced back towards Hikari... and then towards Tokiko. Suddenly, she darted right towards the other magical girl, spear held at the ready!

Hikari stared, then glanced back towards the fairy, who was watching the battle with a look of concern on her face.

"You... fairy, right?!"

As much as she'd been pissed off at the other girl, and moreso after being belittled... that... that was just more of a reason to show how she was wrong, right?! And leaving her to fend off two enemies on her own...

"Ah, yes!"

"What do I have to do?!"

"It's not cruel!" declared the fairy, defiantly, even as Hikari had absolutely no clue what was happening(aside from her anger rising at both the magical girls present, now), "It might be hard for her... but it isn't the first time a magical girl has been created right before the Hex Night, and if she misses her chance this time the next one won't come for another twenty years! That's how I view it!"

By this point, the fairy had interposed herself between Hikari and the other two girls, leaving the tiny brunette to peer around her. The Hex Night... was it some sort of battle between Magical Girls? Why? But it didn't matter. This was a chance for her to become a magical girl! It was the only opportunity she had ever been offered for something like this. And deep down, it was something she'd wanted ever since that accident all those years ago.

"That's a nice sentiment 'n all, but I'm still going to put her in the hospital," commented the spear girl, twirling her 'needle' as she did, "Frankenstein-sensei over there might talk a tough game, but she did intervene to protect that girl like an idiot, right?"

Her body tensed again.

"So I'll just have to beat her and her monster both. You can't intervene directly, right? So I just gotta do it before you make her a magical girl too!"

The fairy appeared hesitant.

"... Hey... what do I have to say? To... to become a magical girl," asked Hikari.

"Oh? Well-"

Suddenly, there was a rush of air and noise, as someone seemed to come from no-where aiming a flying kick directly towards Tokiko's monstergirl!

"Gah!"

The enemy magical girl was barely able to raise her spear defensively, using the shaft of the weapon to block the heavy punch as it sent her skidding backwards across the ground, sparks flying up from her feet. She swiftly readied herself for another strike... until the monstergirl suddenly retreated.

"Tch... that was the void shade I had my eye on!" protested the spear-wielding girl, until she realized just what was happening behind her.

"I can sense the potential, the will to do good in your heart!" declared the fairy, brightly, "I can grant you the opportunity to be a beautiful and elegant agent of justice, a magical girl!"

Hikari's mouth opened and closed slowly. It wasn't enough that she had been attacked by a magical girl. It wasn't enough that the girl who had collided with her had also been a magical girl and summoned a female version of Frankenstein's Monster to attack the spear girl. It wasn't enough that a fairy had shown up out of no-where.

Now, on top of everything else, she was being offered the chance to be a magical girl herself.

Hikari's heart soared. A magical girl?! That was just what she had wanted, the chance to help people. Ever since that accident all those years ago... but... how was this happening?! How was any of it true?!

That's when the enemy magical girl's spear suddenly hurtled through the air, landing squarely between the fairy and Hikari, who yelped in surprise and fear that she would never admit to.

"Damn it, don't go giving her powers! That makes the whole thing pointless!" snapped the spear-wielder, her spear returning to her side just as quickly as it had been thrown.

"Muuu, but she has a lot of potential! She could help a lot of people! She could defeat a lot of void shades!" cried the fairy, waving her hands frantically at her sides as she did. "That's why I'm here!"

Hikari was simply too overwhelmed to even move, for the moment.

But there was this certain feeling... was another magical girl coming...?

"Haah, I thought I recognized the whole mad scientist theme," commented the girl, skipping back after the tip of her spear was batted out of the way, "And now the monstergirl just cinches it. You killed the void shade that appeared last week, didn't you?"

Void shade? Monstergirl? This was all total madness to Hikari, who couldn't help but stare in mute shock at the scene unfolding before her. She couldn't even manage to get her legs up under her and run. Now a skimply-dressed zombie girl had hopped out of the giant coffin, and it was all... it was crazy! Super crazy! Why were magical girls real?!

But even as Hikari watched, that feeling rose in her heart again... if magical girls were real, then... could she... maybe...

She was snapped out of her thoughts when something dropped into her vision, obscuring her view of the fight. The tiny brunette stared. In a long, growing string of unbelievable, shocking things, this was just one of them.

It was a girl with feathery wings.

"Ah, I'm so glad I got to you!" she declared, "Listen, things are a little urgent right now so I have to be quick about this... do you want to be a magical girl?!"

Hikari's mouth hung open.

"Eeeeehhh?!"

Meanwhile, the spear-wielding girl leaped back. In the light of the slowly setting sun, she ducked low, suddenly aiming for an upward thrust of her spear against the other girl. There was something somewhat unusual about it, especially since it had been specifically referred to as a needle... but that was all so far that could be used in its potential identification.

However, it couldn't be guaranteed that the spear-wielding magical girl would be the only enemy...

@ACHTUNG: "Stonewall" would have to be an Archetype because a specific person can't be a Concept. But like, honestly for what oyu seem to want, "Army" would be the most fitting Concept?

@Darcness: It is.

The situation had gone even more insane by the second.

Now Honami had... had transformed?! It had become clear now, both girls were magical girls! And... magical girls... magical girls were real, apparently! Part of Hikari's head suddenly soared at this idea, that niggling reminder of the fact that she had a dream... but it was buried, quickly, under feat and confusion.

The spear-wielding girl let out a sigh, raising her spear away from Hikari, who could barely manage to let out a sigh of relief as she watched the first magical girl round on Honami, resting her weapon on her shoulder.

"Aaah, jeez," she complained, "You really don't want me to take out the competition early? What if she gets some kinda super-strong power or something?!"

The girl sighed, then lowered her spear, taking a ready stance as she slid her feet back, the tip of her spear pointed down with one arm raised to hold the shaft towards the back, then another towards the base of the head.

"Fine. I might not be the strongest magical girl around..."

She suddenly displayed a vicious grin.

"But I'll skewer you on my needle!"

@KoL: Accepted.

@ACHTUNG: I mean, honestly I think that you're still not quite clicking on what the difference between concept and archetype is. Concepts are meant to be relatively broad categories but also things that inspired imagination and legends. One of the more modern ones is "Winchester" which is a famous rifle manufacturer associated with the Wild West and the modernization of firearms.

And that's still broad because it can generally be applied to the idea of those guns. Your concept being a specific person doesn't really work. I think you're overthinking it as well and kind of pidgeon holing yourself into an overly narrow set of abilities.

If you're really attached to the military theme and the cloning abilities, "Army" would make sense.

@Ammokkx: Yeah sorry she's meant to be extremely new. ^^;

That's fine.
