Several days after the disaster that befell the meeting of magical girls and boys, Janet had the opportunity to learn a lot more about how the others in Beacon lived and did things. It was nice having Nat and Alicia around. Unsurprisingly all of their parents got along quickly so visiting one another was easy. Things were surprisingly quiet though. From the way things sounded she figured that they would have been out saving more people.

Things became more clear though when Janet's Beacon appeared to her. Something big was going down but only the minimal amount was shared with her. The surprising part was that they wanted her to contact Penny and arrange a meeting with her and her patron. Her new friends were also informed by their Beacons and they gathered together at Janet's house.

"I'm surprised they want me to do this. I would think that after the mess I got myself in before they would ask one of you." She said as she fished her phone and the wrapper with Penny's phone number from her backpack.

"Well you did say that you wanted another chance," Alicia pointed out from where she sat in Janet's bedroom. It had been interesting to get to know Janet, but she thought that they had grown fairly close, and that she was starting to adjust to life in Beacon pretty well. Aside from having to deal with parents again, but that was a small price to pay for all the benefits. "That's probably why they chose you for this."

"Why are we doing this again?" Natasha queried, her voice rising in slight annoyance and exasperation. "Not that I'm criticizing the Beckoner's judgement- but we haven't been given a real reason as to why we're doing this." She was sprawled out on the bed, her legs propped up on the headboard, clad in black leggings.

Janet had to nod at that, it made sense she supposed. "I guess so. It just seemed to come out of nowhere. From the way I was told it sounded like something bigger is going on. I think it may have something to do with why one of our own went crazy and killed Victoria." Walking around she grabbed her backpack and walked around to her desk and sat down in her computer chair.

Watching the two, Alicia was calm enough with what they were being told to do, even if she might not be entirely sure herself. "I'm sure they have their reasons. They can see a far bigger picture than us. At the very least, making sure we still have some friends after what happened at the last meeting would not be amiss. It would be difficult to operate if everyone was actively hostile towards us."

Natasha sighed. "I guess. But we'd better not miss dinner or anything. That would be a tragedy." She fiddled with her bright earrings, the same ones as she always wore.

Janet laughed a bit at that remark. Food seemed to be decently high on her list of important things, especially if pancakes were involved. "Well we don't have several dozen people to negotiate with so it should go a lot faster that the last time around."

"And we shouldn't have to worry about unwelcome interruptions. Unless one of you has something you would like to say now," Alicia added. Natasha being obsessed with food was no shock, but she genuinely didn't know how long this would end up taking. One could only hope that it was not too long. Depending on how complicated the negotiations became she wasn't sure if she would be suited for it anymore. But if Beacon said to do it, then she would do her best.

Fiddling with her phone for a while Janet eventually managed to dial the number without pushing a wrong button. Holding the device up to her ear she waited for Penny to answer.

Far from the suburban district that Janet and her friends were at, in a rundown warehouse sat Penny, the warehouse had become the mechanical girls 'home' for lack of a better option. Not that she minded, it was out of the way, not many people ventured to this district, and there was plenty of rundown and abandoned buildings that should could take apart in case an urge overtook her. Currently Penny was sitting in front of a wide variety of machine and computer parts, she was trying to build herself a phone, or at least a facsimile of a phone.

She had spent most of the past few days in her natural state, something she was unaccustomed to doing, incase Janet had called or texted her. Since Penny had no way of knowing if a call or text had been sent while disguised. This is what lead her to try and build a phone, or more likely, a pager.

It was in the midst of this she felt an incoming call. Considering only one person had her number, that she was aware of at any rate, she set down the parts she was working with so she wouldn't fry them while she accepted the call.

"Hello, This is Penny, What's up?" She answered cheerfully, there was a small amount of static that could be heard when she spoke, as was normal when she was in her default appearance, that wouldn't likely be noticed due to it being assumed to be coming from the phone connection.

After waiting a bit with the phone ringing the line was picked up and Janet heard Penny's voice on the other end. "Hey Penny, it's Janet." Maybe that was obvious but you never could tell. Penny sounded a bit different over the phone so she probably did as well. "Uhm, not much at the moment. But apparently the Beacon want us to have a meeting with you and your patron to maybe work out some kind of agreement."

"Uh..." There was a handful of ideas that Penny had as to why Janet might have been calling, this was not anywhere close to what she was expecting. "..Um, okay" giving herself a quick shake to get her composure back she couldn't help the feeling that Laat was laughing at her right now "Who is 'Us' and where did you want too meet up?" she asked after a moment, her suprise very evident in her voice as she did.

"Oh right. By us I mean Natasha, Alicia and myself. We're all part of Beacon. We can meet at... uh..." She tried to think of a good place to meet. She still didn't know the city all that well. Actually she didn't know what side of town Penny was on either. "Where are you? Maybe we can find somewhere in between."

"I'm.. at.. my home," she replied slowly as she looked around at the cluttered expanse of her dwelling. "It's on the western side of town, and anywhere we meet up, we're going to want to make sure that it's somewhat out of the way," She added as she fell back, a metallic thump ringing out as she did, although the sound didn't transfer into the call. "As you've seen my Patron already. He tends to be very, very loud."It was offical Laat had to be laughing at her.

Though Penny couldn't see her, Janet nodded as she listened. She probably should have thought of that already. "Right. Well, it was a good place to meet last time. Maybe we just go back to that pond in Penrose Park late in the evening. Does that sound good?" She glanced at Nat and Alicia to see what they though of that idea.

"I mean, we'll have to ask our parents first, but that sounds okay." Natasha said cautiously, holding her excited demeanor back.

"I've got no problem with that, It's a place we all already know of and know how to get there," Penny said nodding to herself as she thought about it, it was likely the closest to neutral ground that could be found on short notice. "I'll meet you guys there I guess, Anything else?" She asked as she started to pack up her pager project and wrap it in a tarp so she could stash in a bag she found recently. She was planning on moving over to the park now and just working on the pager till the meeting. 'Two meetings in a week at this park, at least I got invited to this one rather then stumbling across a flier.'

"Right. And I don't think there's anything else right now. If there is then we can figure it out there. See you soon." Thinking it over again she couldn't think of anything else so she left it at that.

"Sounds like a plan then, see you soon!" She replied before letting the call go. Quickly she had everything stored in a beat up old backpack. With a short sweep of her dwelling to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything, she was off. Stopping just before the door to pull up her disguised form before leaving.

Hanging up Janet leaned back in her chair which rocked slightly. "Okay, I did what was asked of me. What should we do in the mean time?" She swung her legs gingerly and waited for a response. She still was new to most of the stuff neaby in town and they had a few hours to kill before their meeting.

"Hmm..." Natasha rubbed her chin, in thought. "We could watch a movie. Or hang out with the 'adults'." She made a quoting gesture with her fingers, laughing. "What do you guys want to do?"

Alicia hummed in thought, rubbing her chin as she considered what they might do for the moment. There were plenty of options, but they had to make sure that they were done in time for their meeting. Something did occur to her though, and she looked towards the newest member of their group. "Ah, Janet, how goes your magical training?"

Ah, that was a good question. Sitting back up she put her hands in her lap. "Doing alright. I don't know if it's the particular magic I was given but it isn't that bad figuring out. Probably helps that I'm not a ranged magic girl, I can just use my fists." Lifting her hands up she pounded a fist into her other hand. Chuckling a bit she shook her head. "Fist fighting is something I have a decent amount of experience in." She actually hadn't divulged a whole lot about where she'd come from before being picked by Beacon at that point. But she did seem to be getting more confortable about teasing at it.

Natasha groaned. "Training? You're so serious, Alicia." She said, and then looked to Janet. "What were you, an MMA wrestler or something?"

The reaction to the idea of training was understandable, but Alicia didn't feel bad about bringing it up. "It never hurts to get some more practice in, especially when you're starting out like she is," she countered. They had their own moves down pat, but for a new girl there were all sorts of things that she might not know how to do yet, which practice would help her figure out. "Water and Fists? That can be a dangerous combination. Still, I'm glad to hear that you're picking it up well. In that case we don't have to do anything there unless you feel like you need to." It might be for the best not to show at the meeting all roughed up or just tired.

Waving her hands a for a moment Janet tried to reign in what she said. "Oh no no. Not nearly so professional. I uh... well... I learned to survive in prison." Crossing her arms she hugged herself lightly before putting them back down. Time to see how they would react to where she'd come from.

Natasha sat up abruptly, her eyes narrowing in an expression that could only be called disbelief. "Wait, what?" she said, hoping that she had misheard Janet's words.

That seemed like a pretty natural response. "Yeah. My past life wasn't very virtuous. Actually I was recruited by the Beacon while I was there. I wanted a chance to change. That's probably why I stuck my neck out at the meeting. I could sort of sympathize." She hung her head a bit.

There was a long pause before Natasha replied. "OK then." she said simply.

Not much to say to that so Janet shrugged awkwardly. How else do you tell your friends you used to be a criminal? She probably could have saved it for later but she felt that they should know.

---

It finally came time for the meeting. Penny was apparently already there when Nat, Alicia, and Janet arrived. Smiling at her new friend Janet waved as they approached. "Hey Penny! Looks like you beat us here."

Penny was quietly tinkering with a mess of wires and circuit boards when she heard her name being called "Yo Janet," she replied with with a wave of her own and a relaxed smile. After taking a look at Janet's friends her smile became a bit strained, she recalled Natasha being rather vocal in her distaste for those of a monstrous inclination, and while Penny didn't fault her for that, The hidden mosnter knew she wouldn't be exempt from that distaste if the other girl knew.

Alicia on the other hand seemed like a calm sort and was at least willing to try and hash out a workable alliance at the last meeting. 'Plus, she's rather cute Blushing at that unexpected thought Penny quickly started putting her pager mess back in her bag in an effort to hide it till it faded.

Arriving at the site of the meeting, Alicia thought that she recognized the girl who was waiting for them there. She had definitely been at the meeting earlier, but she was having trouble nailing down particulars. A mental shrug followed after a moment and she let it go. She would just have to get to know Penny now, and hope that what had happened last time had not affected their willingness to make an alliance. "Hello," said with a small bow as she came to a stop.

Moving closer Janet stood awkwardly for a moment. They were all here so how exactly do they start this? "Okay well. Maybe we should deal with the meeting before anything else because that kind of determines everything. Let the water that gives life and wears down mountains be my strength." She transforms into her magical girl form and summons the Beacon.

The angelic being appeared, strumming its harp. It looked towards Janet with a gentle smile that also conveyed a certain feeling of authority.
"Janet, you have spoken with the chosen of Laat'AlOfan, is that correct? The Beacon will now grant an audience to them."

Hearing her Patrons full name sent a shiver down Penny's spine "That makes you the first to know His name that I have met" She said evenly as she stood up, it was suddenly very apperent to her that this whole meeting could go very, very badly for her. Unconsciously she slipped in to a defensive stance as she focused on the angel she had seen before.

A familiar voice overrode whatever Penny was about to say as once again Laat'AlOfan's visage took up the sky. He was leaning closer to the small meeting, his arms folded in front of him. His question, while polite, seemed much more akin to a demand. This was partly due to the volume at which he spoke, but there was also the tone in which He spoke it carried a sense of restrained power that was seeking a target.

"A fitting existence for one filled with so much conceit," the Beckoner answered with stoic disposition. "But for now, the Beacon is willing to forgive such trangression. This human community requires far more faith than it's denizens can provide, and the forces of darkness soon overtake it with sin and heresy. For a proper purge of taint an alliance would be agreaable. That is, if you share our love for humans and their hearts. We also require that your chosen be tested; we won't condone any treachery or blasphemy from them, or our champions will respond with swift retribution. For that end, a passage of time shall set a restriction on this agreement. And if we deem it necessary, we shall hold a tribunal, and properly test your champion; see if they are worthy of sharing in our blessed mission. These are our commandments," the angel said, and stummed its harp once more.

Laat replied with a touch of heat With a wave of dismissal he continues For a single instant it seemed as if Laat was about to attack the Beckoner for some perceived slight, but just as suddenly as he seemed to take offence he relaxed

"If they did not believe it was serious, then we would not be here," Alicia pointed out following the speech of the Patron that they had come to converse with. She had transformed some time during the whole thing, and now stood near Janet with a relaxed stance. With Beckoners here, what did she had to worry about? She couldn't speak to what the test might contain though, and fell silent to see what would be included there.

Penny was growing increasingly nervous at the back and forth between the Patrons that were present, but kept her focus on the three magical girls in front of her; if it all turned to hell they would be the first to attack her, and as she was still disguised it wouldn't be an easy fight to get to safety. "He is just being confrontational" She said to Alicia, knowing that Laat wouldn't care to respond to her statment.

The angelic being didn't react to the god's actions, and continued with the same tone of voice: "Our purpose is the most virtuous, our love the most sincere, and our fury the most righteous. The Beacon stands steadfastly against the dark, until there is only light. And to fulfill that destiny, we are willing to accept assistance." The angel pulled a few chords on the harp, sounding a couple of pleasant notes. "Our test shall determine if your champion is faithful to us, and our goals. Time shall be one of the judges; once the full moon shines upon them and the true darkness of the city has not been vanquished, they shall be deemed a hindrance to our cause, and dealt with as necessary. If what you claim is true, and they are not of traitorous heart, then that won't pass. As for blasphemy, they shan't condone any compliance with witches, monsters or the Black Mint; these sinful entities must be eradicated for the good of all."

Laat stated in a droll tone He states shifting attention down to Penny who is still watching the others.

"I don't have a choice do I?" Penny asked, resigned at Laat'AlOfan's Command. Silence was her answer. Taking an additional step back she steeled herself for what was to come. Quietly she spoke "Limiters released and Systems are green. Circuits Charged and Steel Sharpened I Stand Ready for Action!" With a flash of lightning and a squeal of metal Penny's disguise was ripped away, revealing to all present what she was. There was a soft grimace on her features and her entire demenor told of her discomfort. "I just want to say I hate you for this" she spoke just as quietly as before.

Laat responded to Penny, His tone suprisingly light, before turning back to the Beckoner His tone was professional, giving nothing away.

The angel's gaze was drawn to Penny's new form, and they gave a strum of their harp. "So this is your chosen's true nature? Man melded with machine. This is unprecedented." The angel was quiet for a moment, and then spoke. "We have deemed her to be a knight of the modern day; clad in armor that is fused to her skin, and wielding weapons of today, she is fitting for our mission in purging this land of malicious intent. However, she is not without flaw, and should she give even the slightest sign of monsterhood...Our valorous champions won't show mercy. This is our verdict."

It would be hard pressed to tell who was more shocked between Penny and Laat, well it would be if Laat had and an expression to read. He stated simply His joy evident is His voice He continued before looking off to the side for a few moments in thought.

Laat'AlOfan gestured to the Beckoners as He spoke to Penny, his tone was commanding as he spoke to his chosen before he turned back to those that brought about this meeting.

He asked, his tone formal, but light.

The angel gave a nod, and played a soothing melody from its harp. "The covenant has been established. Alicia, you are granted the right to conduct a Tribunal of Honesty when you deem it necessary. Stay vigilant against evil, and fight together with this new ally. May the light of the Beacon guide you forward," the being said, and then disappeared, leaving the Beacon's chosen with Penny and her god.

With booming laughter Laat'AlOfan regarded Penny and those of The Beacon before his form shattered once again letting the stars take their rightful places, his laughter echoing out for a moment longer.

"Thank you Beckoner," Alicia replied with a nod as she was given the right for a Tribunal if she needed to do so. With her powers she was the one who was best suited for such a job. A Deity might be able to lie to her, but another magical girl? Not a chance. That seemed to conclude the meeting, and after a moment she turned towards Penny once again. "Well then, welcome to the Beacon." They were allies now, and she had no reason to not treat her with respect. It would be interesting to see how this worked out.

Penny was still in shock at what had just transpired, In the span of about two minutes her whole world just got turned around, again. When Alicia, welcomed her it finally hit home that she had some how been allied with the Beacon despite her monstrous status. Sagging to the ground in relief "Thanks, that had to be the most stress inducing conversation I have watched in my entire life," she replied not really caring that she was rambling a bit.

"Yeah. For a few moments there I thought things were going to go badly." She let out a long sigh. Janet had practically been holding her breath since the beginning. The whole time she had to bite her lip and let the two powers talk it over. But it turned out alright, better even. Throwing her hands up in the air she pumped her fists. "We did it! Welcome to the group." She raised a hand up for a high five with Penny.

Gleefully Penny got to her feet and returned Janet's high five, she was on cloud nine at the moment. "Now that, that is out of the way whats on the agenda?" She asked her eyes literally glowing due to her good mood.

Though not so exuberant as the duo, Alicia nonetheless wore a pleased smile as she watched the exchange. It was too early to tell anything, but she had the feeling that this would go well. "Hm, now that we're allies we might as well get to know each other better. Do you have a place to stay at, or would it be more comfortable to join us at one of our places instead?"

"Ehh, one of your places might be best," Penny answered abashedly. "My place is kind of a mess and not the best for hosting," she explained, which was technically true, she just didn't want to bring down the good mood by explaining that she was effectivly homeless and was currently squatting in an abandoned warehouse. It didn't effect her much due to the changes that she had underwent, but it still seemed embarrassing to her.

Natasha's stern face turned into a silly grin, and she ran at Penny, barreling into her, throwing her to the ground in a bear hug. "Welcome to Beacon, Penny!" she yelled cheerily.

Penny let out a oof as she was taken to the ground, her smile not dimished at the sudden hug. "Thanks, glad to be a part," she exclaimed, before looking around at her new allies "So where to?"

Laughing a bit at Nat's sudden tackle, Janet motioned in the direction of her home. "Well we were at my place before this. It's kind of late though so Nat and Alicia probably have to get home. Our parents probably wouldn't like finding out we were out super late like this. But you could probably come and stay at my place if you'd like. I kind of started all of this."

Alicia held back a sigh as Natasha hit Penny with a flat out tackle, not exactly approving of it but not willing to argue. It just didn't seem like the right way to treat someone who had just joined up with their group, at least in her mind. "If that's what you two want to do then i have no objections," Alicia added, glancing towards the horizon. It wasn't terribly late by her count but they should probably start getting back soon.

"I appreciate the offer Janet, but I'm fine with where I live for the moment. Besides its going to be hard to hide this as I can't stay disguised while I'm asleep," she replied gesturing to herself as she spoke "It is getting late though, so how about we meet back up tomorrow to get to know each other better?"

Rubbing her chin a bit Janet had to conced that. "Hm, good point. Didn't realize that happened with sleeping. Huh... Well anyway I guess we keep in touch and watch for monsters popping up. If nothing is really going on then we can hang out too." Things had been unusually quiet, especially considering that this city had been a big hot spot for monster activity. Something was up but she didn't really know what. Either way for the Beacon girls it was getting late and they had to head hone. Saying their goodbyes the four headed their seperate ways to reconvene another time.

"You couldn't swing a private jet?" The Boy sighed as he boarded the plane and made his way to his seat in first class. It wasn't that first class isn't good enough for Ilia, it just that the thought of begin disguised for such a long time made his skin crawl. Even then as he stat down in his seat, Ilia had a sinking feeling in his gut that worsened the boy's already poor mood. At least in a private flight he could stay is his natural state while Umeko controlled the few on-board staff members' minds, or so that is how he envisioned it playing it. Umeko ruffled Ilia's oxblood red hair before lightly flicking his forehead and taking her seat next to him. "I told you before, when possible we are to solve problems by mundane means, also its not like these tickets where cheap. Now shhh and watch an in flight movie" Ilia slouched in his seat, put on the headphones and watched whatever dribble was playing. Umeko had already explained to him that to keep a low profile his plan was out of the question and her puchuu couldn't get a private jet for free in such short notice. It wasn't out of the ordinary for magical girls to oversee airports from time to time, seeing if any new blood was coming into town. Word had spread about a town filled with monsters and tensions rising up against the beacon so it was unlikely the duo would be the only ones making their way to Penrose.

Umeko had already taken out her tablet, browsing a variety of Penrose news-outlets, as the plane promptly lifted off. She was searching for anything that could possibly be magical girl activity or a monster attack. Any abounded buildings, factories or caves that could also shelter as well. The town had really been busy, multiple areas that fit the bill, so she would have to wait until she was in the city to make further stratagems. Umeko let out a sigh, a decided to decompress by watching a movie as well. It was a romcom Umeko adored. In her youth, before becoming a magical girl, Umeko and Ami(Childhood best friend from history) would have ice cream sleep overs and watch romantic comedies all night. Even begin over a decade old this one was still one of her favorites and she admittedly still got enthralled by all the jokes and emotional hooks a bit to much. A nice change of pace as she knew there would be no time for such frivolous things in the coming days.

Ilia on the other hand was almost bored of his mind. There was nothing that caught the attention of the mind of the 21 year old naga on his seats' entertainment section. For a second he wondered if he still even considered himself to be 21 as his "human" form was that of a 14 year old now. He still hadn't gotten used to the change and had up to this point used his his disguise for as little as possible. Between the the discomfort of his fake form and the purification artifact he was wearing Ilia just wanted the flight to be over as soon as possible. Luckily the delicious meal before landing had brought up his mood.

Once the plane landed the two grabbed their things a made a B line for the exit. From there Umeko waved down a cab. "I know its a little late but could you possible take us to zoo?" exclaimed the girl with a soft smile. The zoo? It's already passed its closing time but sure little lady It was a quick ride and silent one, both Ilia and Umeko begin on their phones. Once at the zoo entrance Ilia looked for a seemingly secluded area exclaiming "Open Sesame" before the two entered his interdimensional home.

"Shed this false skin, venom's and stars' power reveal my true form." Ilia stretched his arms above his head, letting out a sigh as a shiver went down from the base of his neck to the tip of his tail. So far that had been the longest he had held disguise and he was happy to finally be back in his scalely form. Ilia uttered"So you already pick up any trails, what are we doing out here tonight?" as he scarfed down some of the never ending snacks found in his apartment. "No not yet, but this is a hot bed of activity. One of many actually. Sorry to get you hopes up Witch Boy but with the amount of magically trails going around and overlapping it will take more than a quick glance to sort things out. Just a bit of surveillance tonight. Mystical third eye open, reveal to me all. Muninn." With that Umeko transformed and after Ilia gulped down the last snack he was stuffing his face with, the two returned to the empty zoo.

Fiona slowly raised her head from her desk and looked around her room and noticed her sniper rifle on her bed. She got up from the desk and walked towards her bed and sat down by her weapon. She picked up the Grail Rifle and checked on the condition of the weapon. The magic binding it to her was intense and she felt a strange aura surrounding her in an instant. This aura felt different compared to the one surrounding her from Zargoth’s powerful aura, it was darker and evil and had a sense of humor. ”What the…?” Fiona thought to herself.

A voice pierced the veil of reality and only was going through Fiona’s head and it was a female voice. ”How wonderful my brother found himself a third champion from a human family and not a Draconic One. He turned you into an angel how pitiful he always believed in the good of others but he fell from grace like all others,” ??? said a female voice.

Fiona heard this voice before because she had a tutor who was named Stacey and was startled. ”Stacey, why are you contacting me? Through the same method as Zargoth?” Fiona asked, confused.

Stacey’s voice laughed at Fiona’s feeble mind. ”I wanted you to be my champion but I couldn’t get ahold of you. My brother’s fervent religious beliefs protected your family or should I say… Your ancestors beliefs protected you from me. That means it seems like I should start making my move now,” Stacey said. The communication was cut from Fiona’s mind and the aura that covered her entire body vanished as well.

Fiona was terrified of what happened and know not what Stacey met by what she had said. ”I really hate this, but she called Zargoth her brother, what does that mean?” Fiona thought to herself.

A familiar voice appeared in her mind and it was a soothing voice. ”Fiona, my champion I have released the Void Dragons out on their missions. I have one request for you, please help out Scarlett V. Draconis in her search for the one that scarred her,” Zargoth said, kindly.

Fiona heard the name and was slightly confused for a second. ”What do you mean, Zargoth?” Fiona asked, curiously.

Zargoth gave out a sigh to know this is going to be tough on his champion. ”Scarlett is a Destiny Dragon and willing to correct her mistakes. She wants to serve the Chosen and search for someone that irks me even more so than Beacon. She was a sister to me and fought me during the Dragon Wars a long time ago,” Zargoth said, irked and angried at the mention of a sister.

Fiona remembered what Zargoth said before about the Infinite Dragon that was being punished and smiled slightly but was startled at what Zargoth said. Her eyes roll in her head for a second only to come back to normal. ”I am the Chaotic Seraph Angel! My sniper shots and ice attacks will shatter your souls,” Fiona said. Her transformation process was slow and turned into the Chaotic Seraph Angel right in her room still holding onto her rifle. ”I think I know who your sister is or at least her disguise,” Fiona said, as the Chaotic Seraph Angel.

Zargoth’s heard what his champion had said and was enraged greater than the acknowledgment of his rage towards Beacon. ”That must mean she contacted you. In the same way I have, she knows my chosen for a long time now. Scarlett will be appearing at your house immediately I want that Wretched sister of mine dead more than anything,” Zargoth said, enraged. He cut off communications with his chosen champion shortly after he said anything.

Fiona walked out of her room and went to the front room. She walked outside of her house. Her artifact started to glow and showed a strange vision of the future of a female humanoid draconian with bright green hair, a golden eye and rainbow-colored draconian wings. She had a confused look but put two together the person coming is Scarlett. She smiled gently at the knowledge of what Scarlett looks like. ”She looks beautiful, seems as if Zargoth is actually kind and gentle,” Fiona thought to herself.

All the lights went out because there was a massive break in between the immaterial realms happened. A portal opened up and a beautiful woman with the features that Fiona saw walked out of it with a guiding hand of platinum behind her. It was an eerie sight indeed for Fiona. She looked directly at the Chaotic Seraph Angel and smiled. ”I was chosen by Zargoth to follow your directions to the one that cursed me and my family. The Zargoth’s Chosen Champions are a wonderful sight to see,” Scarlett said, gently. She moved her rainbow-colored draconian wings slightly.

Fiona looked at Scarlett and giggled at the beautiful colors her wings were. ”Cursed you into what exactly?” Fiona asked, curiously. Her six wings twitched slightly at what she saw from Scarlett.

Scarlett sighed at the question. ”Into male Infinite Dragons. It is the real reason why we talk constantly of Zargoth’s Plans since we were cursed that way. It has been frustrating to try to stop yourself from doing it but can’t because of a curse,” Scarlett said, irritated at herself. She looked carefully at the Chaotic Seraph Angel.

Fiona smiled kindly and was startled at Scarlett’s quick answer. ”Oh okay, Zargoth are you still here?” Fiona asked, randomly and curiously. She wanted to know if her patron was still around.

Zargoth’s voice entered Fiona’s mind once more. ”Yes, my champion you want something?” Zargoth asked, curiously. He wanted to keep his champions happy because that is what he is.

Fiona heard Zargoth’s voice and smiled. ”What should I do with Scarlett?” Fiona asked, curiously.

Zargoth laughed at the question and his laugh didn’t involve Scarlett. ”As long, as she doesn’t die or is recursed you can do anything else to her,” Zargoth said. He cut off the communication with Fiona to refocus his efforts on keeping the Void Dragons in check.

Scarlett felt a chill down her spine as if, hell itself had said hello to her and she looked at Fiona cautiously. She stepped back slightly. ”For once in my life… I have never been this afraid of a person who has me by the tail so to speak,” Scarlett thought to herself.

Fiona smiled at that and giggled slightly at what Zargoth said to her. ”Okay Zargoth,” Fiona said. She looked directly at Scarlett posture and did notice her step back. ”Don’t worry Ms. Draconis,” Fiona said, reassuringly.

Scarlett felt safe in the presence of Fiona again even though the aura surrounding her was different than her own, it was rainbow in color. ”Thank you Fiona I will be helpful in our journey and whatever else you need. I chose my human form to be slightly more welcoming in this strange land but I don’t have a disguise,” Scarlett said, worried. She hadn’t been herself in a long time and she isn’t a magical girl but she is definite a draconic being from the ancient past.

Fiona saw the aura surrounding Scarlett and it was unique. ”Beautiful aura, Ms. Draconis… I have no idea where to go looking for the one who cursed you but she used to be my tutor when I was young,” Fiona said.

Scarlett heard what Fiona had said and walked forward. ”Concerning Chosen One and this is the first time I heard of this. What is tutoring?” Scarlett asked, curiously. She had never once been tutored in anything she had done in the ancient past because it came naturally to her.

Fiona turned around towards her home and wondered what Stacey had meant in when she talked to her. She didn’t notice anything above her home as of now but she was still in her Chaotic Seraph Angel transformation because she had better to be prepared for the worst. ”It is studying but with someone to teach you what you need to learn. She taught me things that I was blind to and now truly understand what she meant, the Magical Girls that protect the world is fascinating. But she was supposed to teach me German but didn’t for reasons I will never understand and she was fired for not being a good tutor,” Fiona said.

Scarlett heard what Fiona had said and smiled slightly. ”That is wonderful want to go anywhere?” Scarlett asked. She wanted to test out her flight capabilities because she is a Dragon.

Fiona heard what Scarlett asked and smiled. Her six wings started to move and she lifted up into the air holding her sniper rifle. ”Sure, let’s get out of the Grail Estates. I am bored and need to do something other than sitting and watching TV,” Fiona said, hovering in air with her wings.

Scarlett heard what Fiona said and the two letters which she said flew right over her head, she didn’t get that at all. She lifted off from her location and flew into the air right besides of Fiona, her wings were fully extended and were 15 ft in length coming from her back. ”I will follow you,” Scarlett said.

Fiona heard what Scarlett had said and smiled. She flew in a northern direction since she wanted to see somethings before heading towards the City for her task that was given by Justine. She stayed quiet but flew higher into the air.

Scarlett stayed with Fiona and wondered somethings but stayed with Fiona. "I hope Zargoth frees the others so the Destiny Dragons can service him once again because he was startled when he uncursed me," Scarlett thought to herself.

Getting the alert from her Beacon, Janet took off in the direction of the hospital. She'd taken the time to learn where some of the larger landmarks were in town and her Absolute Direction pointed her straight to where she needed to go. Upon arrival she saw the chaos already unfolding. The mechanical creatures were everywhere and stealing people through the windows. It was moments like these that Janet wished she had more range. She'll just have to close the gap. Reaching into her backpack she pulled out the Vial Blade.

"Let the water than gives life and wears down mountains be my strength."

Transforming into her magical girl form she popped the cork on her weapon and whipped it to the side. The water flowed out and solidified into a mace. "Time to break some toys!" Rather than jump up after the machines she looked to the side and spotted a fountain. Pointing a hand in its direction she began to gather the water and draw it out. "I'm going to need you to come down from there." Throwing her arm forward the water moved like a wave to sweep the monsters off the side of the building. It doubled that it would catch and safely rest any people being abducted on the ground.

Pleased with her work she gripped the mace with both hands. What she lacked in range she made up for in strength. Pushing off the ground she rushed forward, swinging left and right at any mechanical monsters that got in her way.

Alicia Hayden

"Haa, alright. I'll be right there," Alicia told her Beckoner as she was alerted to the situation at the hospital. She didn't feel bad, nor was she reluctant to go and do her job as a magical girl. It was just a sad fact that the call could come at any time meaning that she always had to be ready to go and handle another problem or attack. At least she was home for this one.

Stretching a bit, she closed the book that she had been reading and prepared to head out. Shoes, her purse, and she was moving down the stairs. "Sorry mom, gotta go. Friend had an emergency," she explained along the way, though she did not stop long before taking her exit from the house. Once outside she took a few moments to find a private place to transform and then she was on her way, headed to the hospital.

Arriving, she found that several magical girls were already there, fighting mechanical dolls that looked like nutcrackers after a fashion. Janet was nearby, and there looked to be two more in the middle of the crowd of enemies, under full attack. Fortunately it looked like they had barriers to protect themselves for a bit.

"Let's go," she muttered to herself with a nod before manifesting her bow. Magic flowed into it, concentrating along the bowstring into arrows of light. "Shine for me, Star Seraph!" The arrow split into multiple, smaller arrows, and she released the bow to send them flying from her rooftop perch and into the many monsters that roamed around on the ground. She was not about to let Janet fight this by herself. The quicker they got it done, the better for everyone involved. Even with this many it shouldn't take too long.

Fiona continued her trek north but it felt as if someone or something was drawing her there. She couldn’t really feel anything wrong because she had a Destiny Dragon behind her. ”Hmm… I know I wanted to go this way but something is drawing me here,” Fiona thought to herself, flying north. She was still holding her sniper rifle until her artifact started glowing showing her a possible future. It showed a large Golden Dragon with golden eyes attacking her and had a rage about it since it had a scar going from its right eye to its right wing. She stopped for a moment but continued on and she glanced at Scarlett. ”I saw a Golden Dragon in my vision do you know anything of this?” Fiona asked, confused and flying.

Scarlett heard what Fiona had said and was in shock because the golden dragons used to work under Zargoth before the betrayal of one such golden dragon. ”Cannot be, he still lives I saw him die at the hands of Zargoth, all those years ago. Zani Gold Eyed, did he have a scar across his right eye to his wing?” Scarlett asked, terrified and flying with Fiona.

Fiona nodded to her with a look of confusion since she had no idea it meant anything to her in the vision. ”I will protect us both than if that is the case,” Fiona said, confidently.

The two kept flying towards the north and they looked all around including the ground to find the thing that was drawing Fiona towards the north. Then a massive gust of wind started to blow from the east it was quite strange. They were a total of 10 miles north from the Grail Estates. They stopped because the gust of wind was strong. ”Err, what’s going on now? Fiona asked, confused and flying in place. She looked around for a bit and couldn’t find anything in the vicinity.

Scarlett now felt as if this was a trap and was slightly too afraid to turn into her draconic form. She flew right behind Fiona. ”I think Stacey was drawing us to a trap since I felt her presence still on you,” Scarlett said.

A vastly large dragon flies from the east to the two females in question and laughs at their pitiful defense and laughs at them. ”You probably already know my name, Zargoth’s Chosen and Acolyte of Zargoth. But a reminder is in order, Zani Gold Eyed,” Zani Gold Eyed said. He was larger than the Infinite Dragons by about twice their size and he was very much in league with the one who drawn them to this place. ”I am grateful for my mistress for drawing you out of your homestead Ms. Grail. I miss Sara though she used to worship me all those years ago without noticing I was no longer Good Aligned but changed to evil since I worship her,” Zani Gold Eyed said. Zani Gold Eyed was a Great Wyrm of a Corrupted Golden Dragon, more like it.

Fiona looked directly at Zani Gold Eyed and was utterly freaked out that the dragon in front of her was twice as large as the Infinite Dragons. ”Ugh… Looks like there’s always dragons bugging me,” Fiona said, annoyed. She points her sniper rifle at the golden dragon and fires at it with a shot though she enjoys looking through the sniper rifle over firing it from the hip. The shot rang out since it was being carried by the gust of wind towards Penrose City. It would be an echo that gets quieter the further it was carried throughout the city.

Zani Gold Eyed used a fire breath attack to melt the bullet that was heading towards him. It was a little bit too late to use the breath attack to even do that but the bullet from Fiona’s gun was completely melted. ”Somethings I have learned of this future and they are interesting, you’re sniper rifle for instance. I enjoy this world only for the conquest of it,” Zani Gold Eyed said, flying in place.

A familiar voice appeared within Fiona and it was angrier than normal. ”Zani Gold Eyed, how wonderful I can take down a bird with him here. I am sending you reinforcements, Chosen One. The Chaos Angels, they are yours to command,” Zargoth said, angered and excited at the same time.

A massive portal opened up right behind Zani Gold Eyed it had a strange aura to it, as if Zargoth’s power was growing where he can breach openings anywhere in the material plane at will now. His hatred and rage for anyone who follows his sister to a devoted degree must be annihilated with prejudice. Ten Chaos Angels with similar sniper rifles to what Fiona has came through the portal of Zargoth’s Rage. The looked at each other and fired at Zani Gold Eyed all at the same time. They couldn’t see their leader Fiona but they knew this dragon was between them.

Zani Gold Eyed heard the rip and tear through the material realm and the dimension that Fiona will go to if she dies and he smiled a bit. ”The Endless Dimension… how wonderful,” Zani Gold Eyed said. He got hit with the 10 bullets and it tore his left wing clean through. He started to descend onto the ground, which was more or less farmlands of Penrose. ”You will pay for that, All you will DIE!” Zani Gold Eyed yelled, angered to an extreme agree.

Fiona and the 10 Chaos Angels started freaking out when Zani said the word die that activated their self-defense mechanism within their minds. Fiona held her sniper rifle tightly but didn’t want to die. ”I don’t want to die…,” Fiona said, freaking out.

Scarlett was freaked out when the Chosen One and her Angels were freaking out because of what Zani said. ”Good lord, he knew their word that’s terrifying… I have a feeling Stacey tried to learn every single thing of Zargoth’s Chosen,” Scarlett thought to herself, terrified of what is going on right now. She had no of her draconic abilities in her humanoid form and she was utterly useless, the only thing she had was healing abilities. ”Pull yourself together ladies. Zargoth sent you out here to deal with one of his sister’s allies and Zani is definitely a traitor to Zargoth the Endless. Zargoth will never allow anything to happen to you,” Scarlett said, tried to calm down her allies.

Fiona’s aura was fluctuating because of her terrified state and didn’t hear what Scarlett had said. The Fluctuation of the aura had a much larger radius than normal it reaches into the city of Penrose. It increased to a sizeable aura radius to massive radius. Her radius of her aura was only 5 to 10 miles, now it is a 25 mile radius. Anyone could feel the aura of Fiona but not know where it is coming from. Fiona was shaken and couldn’t move or defend herself from Zani’s assault if he felt like attacking.

Zani smiled at this and enjoyed toying with people he wanted to kill. He looked up and still noticed the portal that ripped through the material plane was really high above the land he had to land in because one of his wings were damaged. ”Hehe, this will be a great thing for my mistress even though she won’t show herself to Fiona now,” Zani said, laughing at this predicament he is in.

Ilia was at the arcade, disguised, passing the time away as he waited for Umeko to finish her scouting for the day. He had spent his whole between the arcade and the convenience store for snacks. Illia had only occasionally returned to his interdimensional apartment for a quick second when he could longer stand begin transformed. Having regressed in age had put a damper in the fun the boy could have, not begin able to readily buy smokes was bye far the hardest to cope with, and the arcade was one of his remaining pleasures.

Umeko had made quite a day of scouting the city with her third-eye. This power gave her a glimpse into what had been happening in the city and it had been quite a bit of activity in the recent days. From that she conjectured what she believed were some possible magical girl routes and hot spots. Finally after finishing her rounds in the south part of town she headed to arcade to find Illia. Once there she tried to sneak up on her ally, quietly tippy toeing over to his station before swooping her hands over his eye. " Come on the fun part should be starting anytime now." A perturbed Ilia let out a angry grunt before grabbing his chips and walking out of the arcade, a gleeful Umeko trailing behind him.

The two arrived to the hospital already transformed and awaited on a nearby rooftop waiting to for things to start. "So when are Helga and these beacon girls gana show up?. Umeko continued to scan the place, looking down the scope of gun Huginn. "Anytime now, feel free to to take off your purification artifact and bring out your familiar. Its a hospital so keeping the collateral damage down to a minimum." With that Ilia took of the charm and put it into his hammerspace pocket. The feel of freedom from taking it off put a smirk on Ilia's face. "Yes, yes you briefed me on the way here and this morning." Just then mechanical dolls sprung into action attacking magical girl and human alike. A look of severe discontent had become plastered on Umeko's face. She would of rather of just left if not for the scolding both of their patrons would give."Come on it's show time" With that Ilia had Anwyl come out, slithering from out his mouth before coiling around one of his arms.

Ilia then flew himself and Umeko to where a blonde and black haired where fighting the dolls. Umeko let off a warning few shots around each of the two other girls as she and Ilia softly descended a amongst the dolls, a decent distance from the water wielding girl. "Quite a party you two have going on here."

Penny was happily wandering around Penrose, learning the lay of the land as it were. The past few days had been a roller coaster for the girl but things were starting to look up for her.

As she was aimlessly wandering there was a quiet crack of thunder. Without stopping Penny reached in to her pocket and pulled out her latest acquisition, a steel grey flip phone. It, along with a single silver coin, had been waiting for her on her bed when she had gotten back form the meeting with The Beacon. It was a gift from Laat’AlOfan to help her stay in touch with her new comrades.

Flipping the phone open she checked the text she had just received.

Penrose Hospital is currently under assault, calling all available forces.

”Damn” she cursed as she quickly pocketed her phone and took off at a run towards the hospital in question.

Ducking in to an ally way she took a moment to center herself before reciting "Limiters released and Systems are green. Circuits Charged and Steel Sharpened, I Stand Ready for Action!" and dropping her disguise.

Shaking herself free from the disorientation of her rapid transformation she took to the roof tops she took off at a much greater speed, reaching the hospital in only a few minutes. With a running leap she snagged one of the dolls out of midair and sent it crashing in to the ground below. She followed after with a powerful axe kick, rendering it into scrap.

Standing up she saw the rest of The Beacon coalition as well as Alex and Lily and and a couple of people she didn't recognize.

“Hey everyone, hope I’m not too late to the party” she called as she kicked the head from her downed enemy off towards another one scampering up the side of the building.

The bus she was riding on made a stop to pick up and drop off some passengers. Whilst sitting she suddenly noticed an aura move over the area. It was hard to say what it was or where it came from. But she had been told that something big was going on, and this felt like it fit the bill. Getting up she grabbed her things and stepped off the bus. Rushing away from sight she transformed and put her staff to the ground. Something rather large was moving around some ways away. If it were smaller perhaps she wouldn't have noticed. "Hm..." Moving further away from the road she waited until the bus left the stop.

Left alone Shannon hardened the ground under her feet and made the surface launch upward. Tossing herself high into the air she got a better view around her. Most of it was pretty open space. With less obstruction she could see a few specks in the distance. One seemed brighter than the other. It wasn't exactly in the direction of Penrose, but not that far off from it. Something big was going down there so she started off in that way.

---

Traveling by surfing the rolling earth beneath her, Shannon closed the distance to what appeared to be angels surrounding a golden dragon. Further up a portal was open to somewhere. She wasn't familiar with these magical girls but they all appeared to be in fear and frozen to some extent. Though she was on the ground she positioned herself a little ways in front of the golden dragon, as in between the girls and the dragon as she could without being in the air. Raising her voice she tried to draw their attention. "I don't know what's going on here but clearly we have a problem!" She pointed her staff toward Zani. "I don't really care what your motive is. I will not stand by and watch my fellow magical girls be bullied or frightened. If I am mistaken please correct me. Otherwise consider your next move carefully." Despite usually being friendly this was a different circumstance. She was not addressing another magical girl, and the ones that where here were armed. She had also noticed by this point that the dragon's wing had been damaged by multiple gunfire, indicating that they had been attacking with intent. Still she didn't want to jump to conclusions and would at the very least give one opportunity to ever a monster.

@Landaus Five-One

Zani turned his head to face the new arrival and smiled evilly and laughed at her. He moved his full body in a defensive position. ”How wonderful, another magical girl to slaughter in the name of my mistress,” Zani said, happily. He glanced up at Zargoth’s Chosen and the Destiny Dragon in human form and laughed his ass off. ”I will kill all of humanity for her. They all must die for worshiping the Platinum Dragon. He lost the Dragon War all those years ago. He should have stayed dead,” Zani said, enraged. He started to glow brightly as if he was preparing an attack. He opened his draconic mouth towards the new arrival and had a single emotion pulsing from his glow he wants to see the world burn. He fired a straight line cone shaped fire blast. The attack in question missed the new arrival completely and only the heat of the breath attack could be felt. He didn’t want to kill her yet. It went on for a distance. To show he could have used a wider arc of fire breath but he controlled it to be a perfect straight attack.

Scarlett felt the heat coming from Zani’s breath attack and it went much further than it did when he defended himself from the Chosen’s attack. She was terrified, looked down and saw the new arrival that the Golden Dragon was addressing mostly. She landed right behind the girl in question with no hostile action towards her. She sighed in relief for a bit. ”Are you crazy? You are facing Zani Gold Eyed who worships a darker power,” Scarlett said, inquisitive and terrified for the girl’s safety. She felt the intensity from Zani’s glow that wanted to have the world burn and had a chill down her spine. ”But nonetheless, I will help you even though I cannot really fight in this form. My name is Scarlett,” Scarlett said, worried and annoyed all at the same time.

Zani showed off right now that he could easily kill all of them if he wanted to. He was told to only kill the ones who were touched by the Platinum Dragon. The straight fire breath hit a farmstead, who had humans living inside of it and it went up in flames. The farmlands were burning as well, the road it went past was melted slightly. He had an air of joy when his firebreath hit a farmstead with humans living in it. ”I am grateful for my mistress for giving me this opportunity to finish what I started all those years ago. During the 13th Century,” Zani said, joyful and happily.

Fiona was unmoving and terrified but felt the feeling of dread and terror from Zani himself. She felt the heat from Zani’s firebreath and had a chill down her spine. Her aura was fluctuating more now and it increased its size to 35 miles in a radius around her. She was petrified with fear and started to cry and tears was going down her face. ”I-I cannot do this Zargoth, he terrifies me so much,” Fiona thought to herself.

Zani glanced up and saw Fiona crying and laughed maniacally at the sight. ”The Chosen of the Platinum Dragon is worthless. That is good I only have to deal with two right now,” Zani said, happily. He refocused his gaze onto the new arrival and Scarlett, who is behind the new arrival and he gained a devilish grin on his face. ”I should ask this before I kill you. What is your name?” Zani asked, curiously. His glow got dimmer but it was still surrounding him and it definitely had a glow of a corrupted greater dragon. He recalled something he had heard from his mistress and laughed at remembering it. ”I will try my mistress,” Zani thought to himself.

Scarlett rainbow aura started to glow brighter and had a healing effect on her and anyone near her for some healing, not much but it was something. ”Fiona is petrified with fear. You and me are the only thing standing in the way of this massive Great Wyrm Dragon and Destruction of Humanity,” Scarlett said, shivering with fear herself.

The Portal was shimmering and fluctuating and a aura pierced through to the material plane. It was highly visible the aura had a shape, sense of direction, and looming strength to it that no one seen in the material plane ever since the dragon wars all those years ago. A voice pierced through the aura and reached into the minds of his forces and the new arrival, who was asked her name by Zani Gold Eyed. ”Help my champion slay this fiend… He is in the way of my greatest enemy… My own sister… Helping me… Will lessen my wrath against your patron,” Zargoth telepathically said, in the mind of the magical girl. The aura stopped about 5 more miles into the city for a total of 40 miles but the same message was sent out to any nearby magical girls. The aura slowly went back from where it came from and it formed a barrier around the portal to stop Zani Gold Eyed from entering the Endless Dimension. The barrier was in a shape of a symbol long forgotten a Platinum Dragon’s head in a shield.

Zani glanced up towards the Portal to the Endless Dimension and noticed the Platinum Dragon Symbol within a shield and laughed. ”The Platinum Dragon resists as long as he lives. All feeble attempts on my mistress’ life were all in vain,” Zani said, rolled his eyes at the turn of events. He glanced back down towards Scarlett and the girl he wants to know the name of.

@t2wave

'Well this is a surprising turn out' Alexander thought to himself. He had thought that it would be only him and Lilly fighting these dolls, yet to his surprise magical girls started coming out of the woodwork's to fight them 'I could see one, maybe two finding out about this...but this many? Something's up here...bah, I can think about it later.' With every new girl (and the occasional guy) who arrived, he put up a forcefield on them. And although he was making sure to replace any dropped forcefield, most of his focus was directed at keeping Lilly boosted. Suddenly, a girl he actually recognized appeared 'she was that girl from the meeting...um...shit, what was her name? Gah, whatever!' Alexander quickly placed a forcefield on her and dropped the issue of her name 'I really hate being stuck playing support.'

Lily was focused on the fight when the Beaconites arrived, and she gasped in surprise after she shot a fan of arrows at a cluster of the mechanical dolls.
"Oh! It's you girls! We could use some help!" Truth be told, she wasn't that excited that Beacon was now involved with the incident; she was wary of how strict they were with allowance of collateral damage, and she herself didn't give it much thought, only making sure she didn't directly hurt any civilians that were in the vicinity. Still, she appreciated the help.

The dolls did not put up much of a fight; they easily broke and scattered under the mace bashing, arrow fire and martial arts. What attacks they managed to land on them were easily blocked by Alexander's barriers. In fact, it seemed too easy for Lily. Were they a distraction? Maybe the dolls were never intended to actually be a threat, but were simply a means to lure magical girls there. Whatever the reason, Lily wasn't going to let them get away with it.

Some of the dolls stayed up on the rooftops, making a strange back-and-forth motion with their arms, their heads looking down at the street behind the hospital, where Minnie fled to. She floated up with her hands spread to her sides in a dramatic fashion. Once she landed on the building next to the hospital, she gave a haughty laugh, partially covering up her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Haah-haah-haa! And with this, the curtains rise for the final act!" She held the pose for a moment, and then repeated herself in an angry tone: "I SAID, the curtains rise for the final act!" Soon, Helga could be seen in the distance, hopping from roof to roof on all fours in a hurried fashion. "Whoops, I'm late! Sorry, Minnie! teehee!~" The gothic lolita girl was furious. "You ruined the performance, Helga! We can't show this on Broadway! My reputation would be ruined! My path to stardom, taken away!" She made an exaggerated grieving gesture, and Helga only laughed back. "Haah! Hey hey, who cares! Scram, it's my turn for some fun now!"

Minnie flipped her hair arrogantly, and turned towards the corner of the rooftop. "Hm, fine. Make sure to do a thorough job." She gestured a hand towards thin air, only for it to be grabbed by Sonia, who teleported to the scene. The two then disappeared as fast as the third girl arrived, and only Helga was left. She hopped to Ilia's and Umeko's side. She spread her claws, her toothy mouth grinning towards the Beacon group.
"This is the end, Beacon Beggars! Give a good fight before you die! Hahaaaah!"

"Hey, what do you think you're doing!" Helga slightly leaned her head to the side.
"Huh? Did I hear something?" she said, and turned around to look at Lily, who was standing on the hospital rooftop, holding an arrow on her bow, aimed at her. "Stop what you're doing or I'll shoot!"
In response, the monstrous magical girl only grinned.
"Oh, we have special guests? Well, I'm sure the Lady doesn't mind if there happens to be some extra bodies, hee hee!"
Lily had a confused expression, and she drew the arrow. "Wait, what Lady? Do you work for someone?"
But before she could get any answers, Helga leaped with inhuman speeds and slashed at the green-haired girl; as fast as Lily was, she was taken by surprise by Helga's swiftness.
"Too slow, Thunder Tina!" Fortunately, Alexander's barrier prevented the attack from hurting her, but she could feel the primal strength behind her blow. For a magical girl, her strength was ridiculous; Alexander's most powerful shield almost broke down from a single attack.

Lily reeled back from the blow, and jumped backwards, launching a stream of arrows at her. Helga dodged every shot, dancing and contorting in mocking ways, often making it look like she deliberately missed with her shot.
"You're really single-minded, you know. You're going to make your boyfriend over there ashamed at this rate~"
"For the last time, he's not my boyfriend!" Lily continued shooting, but to no avail; Helga seemed to be reading her every action. "Alright Illy and Umi, time to take the trash out!"

"Right, fuck this. Time to get a little experimental" When Alexander saw how the forcefield on Lilly almost fell with a single spell. While he did get a little satisfaction at seeing an attack that could have badly wounded (maybe even killed) Lilly being blocked by his magic, he was also upset that he was feeling any sort of satisfaction from such a passive act. He should be getting satisfaction from crushing his enemies, seeing them driven before him, and to hear the lamentation of their women. For a barbarian, Alexander found himself connecting with Conan, even if he was a little iffy on what 'hear the lamentation of their women' was supposed to mean, since it implied that your enemies would leave their women behind...or something. Philosophy was confusing.

First, Alexander replenished Lilly's forcefield. Next, he made two clones in front of him and put a hand on both of their backs. Duplication allowed him to create mostly perfect copies of himself; they were just as fast and strong as you with some wonky durability, but they couldn't use your magic. For someone like Alexander, this limited their use greatly. However he had a theory; what if the problem wasn't that they couldn't use magic, but that they didn't have any, besides what made them. If the latter was true, then all he needed to do was give them some of his own magic, and they could use it too. Normally transferring magic power between people was difficult due to the difference in people mana signatures (like blood types, but way more complicated), but these were clones of him, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Nodding to himself, Alexander began to pump as much magic into them as he could. At first it was working, but than he noticed it start to leak out of them 'dammit! They can't store mana in their bodies. So much for having them boost me' He was to write off this idea as a failure, when he thought of something; 'wait...they can't hold the mana in their bodies long enough to boost me...but they can hold it in long enough to boost someone else if I keep pumping more in' He looked over to Lilly, who seemed to be struggling against some other girl.

"For the last time, he's not my boyfriend!"

Wait...what the hell were they talking about?

"Alright Illy and Umi, time to take the trash out!"

That...no. If Lilly was having so much trouble with just one of them, than three of them could...no, no he refused to let that happen. "Change of plans; boost Lilly, both of you." It seemed so simple now that he thought about it; boosting someone wasn't really that mana intensive, at least when you consider how much power it gave the target. He hadn't tested it, but Alexander theorized that a full boost on an average teenager could bring them up to Olympic athlete level. No, the problem was that it demanded his full attention. To put it in computer terms; it used up all of his processing power, but took up little electricity itself. Hell, his mana recovery rate would allow him to maintain five, maybe six instances of that spell before the cost was greater than his mana regeneration. So giving two clones of him, who had the memories needed to use the spell, and having them boost the same person; yeah, that was doable. The clones got to work fast, reaching out to Lilly with the mana he was pumping into them, and strengthening her. Taking a closer look, Alexander noticed sparks arcing off of her 'huh...that's odd. Oh well, she looks fine, so that's probably just a sign of her magic being boosted. Actually, is she using her lightning to enhance her reflexes? Because if she is, than the whole world must look like it's in slow motion to her now.'

Staying her ground as the flames rushed past her, Shannon glanced at the now burning countryside. Such disregard of property and the livelyhood of others. Though that wasn't uncommon among monsters. And this dragon in particular seemsed to have an agenda that ran counter to her own. This was confirmed by a draconian girl that flew down and spoke to her. "My name is Shannon!" She called out for all to hear.

Hearing that the others wouldn't be joining the fight was slightly disheartening. But a voice from the portal gave her some resolve. Yes, another potential change of heart. She thought to herself. Touching her staff to the ground she temporarilly drew some of her health and put it to her magic. If she was going to be fighting a fire breathing dragon then she might need a little extra something to combat the heat. Looking up to Zani she intended to stall. "And who is your mistress that I may know whom I might ally?"

Zani heard the name from this magical girl. "Good to know it now my mistress will enjoy your death in the endless spiral of chaos and destruction. I have wrot throughout the ages as her chosen champion to crush humanity once and for all," Zani said, enthralled. He heard the question and laughed at the entirety of the foolishness this human gives him. "Why should I give you my mistress' name when you wouldn't recognize it at all. She has been living through the ages as multiple different aliases. All working towards one goal the destruction of Humanity," Zani said, angered at the question Shannon asked. He started to laugh at Shannon and Scarlett, who was in front of him.

Scarlett heard the her name and smiled slightly. "Wonderful name Shannon, you remind me of my younger sister. She wanted friends and always bright and kind towards everyone including the one who stabbed her in the back," Scarlett said, grimacing at remembering what happened in the past. She looked at her hands and hated the fact she couldn't save anyone but herself. "You'll have to beat it out of Zani Gold Eyed, I still won't forgive him for what he did to my little sister," Scarlett said, annoyed.

"Thank you. You have a lovely name as well." She said to Scarlett before turning her attention to Zani. She sighed and shook her head lightly. "That's unfortunate to hear. We could accomplish so much more together." Tightening her grip in her staff she lifted it slightly. It didn't look like there was going to be peaceful resolution to this. Thankfully it looked like she may have drawn out enough time to get some resources to the surface.

Zani started to glow even more brightly and laughed out loud. His wing started to heal slowly. He looked directly at Scarlett and laughed. "Ah, thanks for reminding me. I had intense fun killing her over, over, and over again. Until my mistress chained her and morphed her into a mindless beast that serves her for all time," Zani said, gleefully. He walked forward towards Shannon and Scarlett who were on the ground. He wanted to slash at the two but he remembered something he had to do first. He glanced up at to Fiona and smiled evilly. He opened his maw towards Fiona in the sky who was terrified. "Die Champion of the Platinum Dragon," Zani said. He breathed a massive cone of fire into the sky and it was extremely hot.

Fiona heard the word die again from the dragon on the ground. Her self-defensive mechanism activates and pushes her to move out of the way of the attack. But it was a bit too late as it hit her wings with intense fire and it makes her fall to the ground hard. She couldn't move since her angelic wings were on fire and she had fell unconsious.

Scarlett had a chill down her spine when Zani went after Fiona completely ignoring her and Shannon. "Are you kidding me?" Scarlett asked, completely terrified and afraid for Fiona's life and holding her hands on her head.

Watching the flames go overhead and hit Fiona, Shannon whirled around and saw that the angel girl was falling out of the sky. Stopping what she was doing briefly she swung her staff low and back up an an arc. The dirt under Fiona rose up like a geyser and slowed her fall. The dust choked out the flames on her wings and she would land softly.

Without turning around she struck the end of her staff on the ground and whipped the end up behind her. The ground began to shake and rise up just below Zani. "You are going to regret threatening humanity." Utilizing more of her blood magic she raised chunks of granite out of the ground. The boulders bursting up underneeth Zani she wanted to put him off his footing before he could take advantage of her turning away.

Zani felt the ground move underneath him but he was too focused on trying to kill Fiona to move in time. He lost his footing and fell on the ground hard but he was laughing at Shannon's threat. "Looks like I should stop underestimating fools who worship animals like the Puchuu," Zani said, angrily. His wings stopped healing and were brutalized by granite rocks that pierced his wings. He grimaced at what happened and laughed. He was laying on the ground injured and slowed his breathing and glanced at Scarlett's face. "You earned something... My mistress' alias right now in this city but her real name will be a mystery to you. Stacey N. Wiess," Zani said, annoyed. He started to glow again.

Scarlett had a chill down her spine when Zani said his mistress' alias in the now. "She used that alias during the 12th and 13rd centuries as well. All as teachers to the champions of Zargoth," Scarlett said. She looked at Fiona and did noticed Shannon's quick thinking and had a sigh of relief at that. "I'll try to heal Fiona because that is all I am useful as," Scarlett said, happily. Her wings started to move and went the long away around the dragon who was laying on the ground to the left side of him. It would take her awhile to get to Fiona.

"Worship him? Are you kidding? You've never met my Puchuu have you?" Shannon laughed to herself. She always enjoyed poking fun at Paree. "Now if you're done being a coward and attacking frightened little girls why don't we dance." The staff came back down and all the rocks that had blasted up came back down. Twirling the staff she readied to draw them back toward herself.

Zani laughed at the questions and all the words this magic girl was talking. He looked directly at the girl who gave him a beating. He was enjoying this the only girl that gave him this much fun was Scarlett's own sister who shares the same name as this magical girl. "How enjoyable," Zani said, with a smile on his massive draconic face. He took the damage from the falling rocks and this reminded him of how he got his scar from Scarlett's younger sister. He had a look of remembrance for that girl who was stronger than her scared sister, who is rushing to aid Fiona. "I will break you...," Zani said. His glow didn't go away this time around and the glow changed to a terrifying aura, it was a black in color. He roared loudly if there was glass in the vinicity it would shatter.

Scarlett felt the aura and stopped in her tracks, she was only half way towards Fiona. She looked back at the Gold Dragon and had a similar feeling of dread sweep over her. She had her draconic instincts fill her entire body and they wanted to fight but the human inside of her wanted to run away. "Not again, it is all happening again... Little Sister, Shannon I am sooo sorry for running I had no choice," Scarlett said, the past catching up with her. She started to cry.

The Portal in the sky started to glow a strange color and another Angel came through the portal. She had six reddish silver wings, greenish hair and eyes. "Scarlett pull yourself together. Zani Gold Eyed you are terrible you know that. Sara at your services," Sara said, with a annoyed sigh at the gold dragon. She held a sword in her left hand and had enough of all this. "I will take my revenge on you selling out my family all those years ago to that coward you call a Mistress. Tiamat the Goddess of Dragons," Sara said. Sara flew away from the portal towards the Golden Dragon.

Zani heard a familiar voice and sighed in annoyance. "No one is allowed to speak her name in vein. It is so nice to see you again though Sara I. Grail, hehe," Zani said, annoyed.

Scarlett heard Sara's voice coming above her and ran towards Fiona. She is still terrified of Zani Gold Eyed's terrifying aura. "I will be right on that," Scarlett said, snapping out of her complete fear only for a moment. She didn't want to fly towards Fiona since she landed on the ground.

The aura change caught Shannon off guard. Faultering a moment the roar from the dragon prompted her to cover her ears. The aura around the dragon was close to overwhenlming. Thankfully another magical girl came through the portal to and snapped her out of it. Shannon was glad there were others around to keep her grounded. She worked her best that way, a fringe benefit of the Power of Friendship.

Drawing the rocks she'd pulled from the ground to her, she readied for an attack. So far she'd only really seen the fire breath, something she could probably survive but would suffer for it. But more of her vitality was currently going to her magic so she was going to have to be smart about things. "Nice to meet you Sara. Too bad it couldn't be under better circumstances huh?" Even under stress Shannon's sense of humor found a way to chime in.

Sara looked down at Shannon and waved at her with her free hand, her weapon is a single handed blade. "Could've been better yes," Sara said, toward Shannon. She had an slight annoyance about her, never ever expected to run into the dragon she used to worship as a god when she was a royal princess all those years ago. She was moving towards Zani and stopped for a second.

Zani laughed at the joke. He stood back up how he was before Shannon's strike that knocked him off balance. He looked at Shannon directly and laughed. "How do you like being stuck?" Zani asked, curiously. He casted a spell in his rage and the shimmering of his aura. It was a powerful spell that would probably paralyze anyone in their tracks. "Paralyzation spells are so fun to use on people who fight back," Zani said, happily grinning.

Scarlett ran faster towards Fiona when she heard what Zani had said but was hit with the paralyzation spell that Zani casted. She stopped completely in her tracks. "Not again," Scarlett thought to herself, annoyed.

Sara posture changed slightly and had a different state of mind. In this state of mind, she was unaffected by the Paralyzation spell that Zani casted. "Stupid Dragon, you will pay for using that spell with your life," Sara said, annoyed.

Zani glanced up at Sara and laughed. "Ah the Iris Persona, how wonderful," Zani said, knowledgeable of all the Platinum Dragon's abilities.

While Shannon had been expecting a more direct attack, she hadn't been prepared for the sudden paralysis. Becoming increasingly more difficult to move she used her staff to steady herself and keep from falling over. The rocks and boulders that she had hovering around her began to drop to the ground around her and she ended up burried underneath them.

Zani laughed at Shannon being burried underneath her own rocks. His aura started to shimmer again and he casted another spell but this time it was on himself. It was a blinding light but powerful healing spell and it healed his damaged wings faster than his natural regeneration. He started to move his massive wings. He slowly moved up into the sky and now he was much more dangerous in the sky than on the ground. "That's good to know I can finish you off myself the Terror Seraph Angel," Zani said, happily.

Iris noticed the dragon lifting off from the ground and was somewhat shocked he used a powerful healing spell to heal the damage. "I always wanted to kill you too Zani Gold Eyed," Iris said, with a smile.

Zani turned directly towards Iris within the air, he completely ignored the ones who were under paralyzation. Zani laughed at her. "Since your other persona told everyone in the vinicty of my deity I worship. I might as well do the same, Bahamut the Platinum Dragon," Zani said, with a grin.

Iris heard the name and realized something utterly shocking. "Are you kidding me, Zargoth is really Bahamut? That is why he hates his sister more than anything," Iris said, startled at the realization.

A familiar voice pierced the veil and had much power behind it, started to surround the one's who were affected by Paralzyation spell. "Be freed of this spell. It is nice to know my name I long forgot all those years ago during the Dragon Wars," Bahamut telepathically said. The Paralzyation affect vanished from the one's affected by it.

Scarlett felt the warmth of Bahamut's aura surrounding her and freed her of the spell. "Bahamut...," Scarlett said, remembering she had to heal Fiona. She used her wings to lift up from the ground and rushed towards Fiona. "I have a funny feeling that Heather knew all along that Zargoth was Bahamut," Scarlett thought to herself.

Most of the back and forth went over Shannon's head. She didn't really know the relation of most of the people and dragons. She had pretty much jumped in blind but all she really needed to know is who was evil. The paralysis being lifted from her she lifted her gaze upward. Zani was getting away from her and that meant she wouldn't be as effective in this fight.

Glancing around she had to decide how she wanted to approach this. She could launch herself into the air, though she couldn't exactly fly so she would need to use the rocks to jump from one to the other. Or she could try and pummel the dragon with rocks and get him back down on her level.

Opting for the latter first she smacked her hands around her staff and crushed some of the granite into smaller jagged pieces. Spreading them out she flung them upward in a flurry of sharp rocks.

Zani was too busy with starring down Sara in her Iris Persona and laughing. He got hit with the sharpened rocks from the ground and his demeanor changed. His aura started to pulse as if it was a heart beat. He did lose a bit of altitude but it wasn't enough to hit the ground. He glanced down at Shannon angrily. "You... will feel pain worse than anyone has felt ever since my rise to be Tiamat's right hand," Zani said, enraged. His aura still pulsed as if it was a heart beat. He looked directly down at Shannon this time with his threat and opened his maw and started to breathe something different from fire. It was complete and utter darkness coming from his mouth that was aimed at Shannon.

Iris saw the darkness come from the Gold Dragon and had a shiver down her spine and flew above him. "Seriously, what are you Zani?" Iris asked, annoyed and shivering seeing her weakness coming from the Dragon. Iris tried to hold strong but empowered her sword with a green energy surrounding it. She launched the Air Sword Slash directly at Zani.

Zani got hit by the Air Sword Slash from Iris. He was pushed down onto the ground hard with the attack in question. It was much more powerful than his stationary movement. "You will pay with your lives, ALL OF YOU!" Zani yelled, loudly. His voice carried towards the Penrose City.

Scarlett heard the dragon's enraged yell and stopped right over the unconscious body of Fiona. "Fiona I hope you will be all right," Scarlett said, worried. She touched Fiona's back and used a healing spell that came from her rainbow-colored aura. She knew the problem with this healing spell it takes time to heal the target touched by her hand.

Fiona had a dream while all this devastation was happening outside of it. It was about her time living with her own family and felt some sadness at those times were the funnest. "I miss them...," Fiona thought to herself. Her dream was shattered when saw a Five Headed Dragon laughing at her lifeless corpse and was deep within her subconscious. "Who are you?" Fiona asked, confused.

A voice peered into her dream and laughed. "Easy my dear Fiona... You caused all this destruction. My name is Tiamat, the Goddess of the Chromatic Dragons and Metallic Dragons after the defeat of my brother, Bahamut. You could say I took over my brother's position... And now it seems as if you need help all you need to do is Denounce the one you call master my own brother, Bahamut," Tiamat telepathically said to Fiona. Tiamat laughed with her five heads and glared at Fiona gently.

Fiona looked at her with a sense of defiance and the subconscious dream was shattered and she slowly opened her eyes and looked around the battlefield. "Ow, why does it feel as if I was hit by a truck?" Fiona asked, curiously. She felt the healing power of Scarlett rejuvenate her.

Not really sure what to expect with the blast or darkness, Shannon was glad she decided to stay on the ground. Shifting the earth under her feet she pulled herself underground and let the dragon's attack impact the dirt. Having effectively disappeared she tried to gather her thoughts. She still wasn't all that sure how she was going to get to the dragon proper but it turned out she didn't need to do that bit on her own.

Sensing Zani land on the ground this meant she had a chance to get to him before he could take off again. The earth sinking below Zani the sides began to rise up to surround him. Pouring the rest of her vitality she could Shannon intended to ground the dragon for good. With the ground for cover the granite moved toward Zani. Rather than hitting the dragon though it went by him as Shannon popped up out of the ground. Un this close the aura was stiffling. To guard against it she took and activated her Purification Artifact.

The earth girl reached her arm up toward the dragon and the granite began to cluster around her. Becoming a clawed rock golem the newly formed giant hands grabbed at Zani's neck and one of his wings. Now that she had allies assisting even if she couldn't beat him alone she would keep him busy for the others to attack freely.

Zani looked down at the ground as it started to shift underneath him. He wasn't panicing at all and laughed at the entirety of this pathetic display of Earthen power. His aura started to pulse again and it changed its effect from what it had been, a terror aura to something slightly different. He did get trapped in the earth but the aura was pulsing faster and faster as if something terrible was about to happen. He noticed Shannon popped up right besides his stuck self within the ground. "How wonderful...," Zani said, angered. The pulsing was continuing to speed up. His neck and one of his wings were grabbed by the Rock Golem, the girl in front of him turned into. "Dragons will rule again...," Zani said, angered. Zani's eyes closed something was terribly wrong.

Iris saw what was happening and slashed into the top part of the Dragon's body. "Something is wrong, terribly wrong...," Iris said, worried. She knows this dragon would never give up unless he was planning something terrible.

Zani's aura was still pulsing at a speed of light. The slash had less effect than the Golem holding his neck and wing.

Fiona stood up and looked directly towards the action and noticed Zani's eyes closed. She pointed her sniper rifle directly at the dragon. "Scarlett can you heal the one who is helping us fight this monster," Fiona said, kindly.

Scarlett nodded and looked directly at Zani's aura and was utterly terrified. Scarlett transformed into the Destiny Dragon that she is and she was at least double the size that Zani is. She had beautiful rainbow-colored wings, a rainbow aura, a unicorn horn on her head, and a quite beautiful draconic posture compared to the Gold Dragon. She flew towards the Gold Dragon and sinked her massive front claws into Zani's Back. "No more people you will kill with that move... no more, I won't allow it," Scarlett said, in her dragon form angered.

Zani screamed in pain when the massive claws were imbedded into his body and he opened his eyes. "Ah, finally you are no longer a Coward, Ms. Draconis. You are finally showing your worth to Draconic Kind. A bit too late though," Zani said, angered that his conceration was stopped. The Aura slowed down in pulsing it was going as fast as it was but it returned to a Terror Aura. The Terror Aura was stronger than it once was since he was focusing on another dragon.

Scarlett started to pull Zani right out of the ground with her enraged state of mind of wanting to protect humanity and remind herself of her little sister. Her strength was rivaling the strength of the Ground, which put him in that position. Her claws were 10 inches deep within his body. She hated herself for showing cowardice all those years ago and this time she will make it right by hurting Zani much for his transgressions against her family.

Fiona saw the fierce determination of Scarlett pulling Zani up. She was awed at Scarlett's strength. She pointed her weapon at the wing of Zani that wasn't grappled by the stone golem and fired a shot at it. She was speechless at the display of strength and the gold dragon's determination.

Zani heard the shot from Fiona's sniper rifle and moved his wing in time before it was pierced by it. "Try harder.... Chaotic Seraph Angel of Bahamut," Zani said, annoyed. He sensed the stone golem still holding onto his neck, who is Shannon. "How much strength do you got left little girl?" Zani asked, curiously towards Shannon in Stone Golem form.

Through the rock the girl's voice could be heard. "Enough to finish you." With Scarlett now on Zani that gave her a little more room to focus. The graninte was jagged and she began to try and dig the stone claws into the gold dragon. If she could get through the scales then he was going to be able to do more damage.

Zani's aura slowed down again but it would take awhile to pierce through the scales. He laughed at the stone golem and the dragon ontop of him. "The Platinum Dragon... You are a COWARD," Zani said, in a fit of crazed dragon rage.

The Portal started to shimmer and the visage of the shield protecting the Endless Dimension from intrusion started to glow brightly. "You are kidding yourself if you can get me to come out of the Dimension I created to keep myself separate from my sister," Bahamut telepathically said, directly towards Zani. There was a great sigh filling the air surrounding the Gold Dragon. A massive blinding light surrounded the gold dragon and it was blinding but it had a different affect on Zani. He was unamused with the Dragon he once called an ally.

Zani laughed at Bahamut's spell. He, however, felt a strange effect conversin' over his entire body, he started to shake from an unnatural pain. The aura he had vanished, the Terror Aura was gone with a bit of slow added on to it. He started to struggle with the Destiny Dragon and Stone Golem on him. He hoped to shake off the Stone Golem and the massive dragon ontop of him.

Scarlett was blinded from the blinding light and she reared back without gripping onto the Gold Dragon and crashed into the ground hard. It shook the ground, to a point of a mini-aftershock. "Agh...," Scarlett said, blinded.

Zani was struggling much more since there was no longer a massive dragon over him. He was lashing out with his freed wing towards the Stone Golem. He wanted to be freed so he can return to his mistress, Tiamat.

The blinding light didn't really effect Shannon, however the thrashing dragon was a fair more than she could handle at this point. Zani wrenching away, the golem let go but stood its ground. It seemed that they'd managed to run the golden dragon off. That turned out to have been quite a bit harder than expected. Dragons were not high on Shannon's list of things to fight after this.

Zani flew into the air and looked down at the people who gave him a hard time. "I will remember this for all time only the painful screams of regular humans will sate my revenge towards what you have done to me," Zani said, angered. He flew away from the battlefield and the gust of wind subsided.

Scarlett turned back into her more useless form that is a powerful healer at least. "Good lord... At least I now know who cursed my entire family Tiamat," Scarlett said, worried.

Sara landed on the ground by the Stone Golem and smiled at it. The Iris persona vanished and the normal one was there. "Thank you," Sara said, kindly and had a royal tone to her voice. She put her sword back into its sheath. She looked towards Fiona. "Come here, Chaotic Seraph Angel," Sara said.

Fiona heard her title from the terror seraph angel and walked towards her. "Hi," Fiona said, kindly.

Sara face plamed at Fiona's response. "You were lucky that Bahamut sent me here or you would have surely perished by dragon," Sara said, annoyed.

Fiona stopped a bit away from Sena and smiled kindly. "It is good to know he's watching over us then," Fiona said.

The Portal pulsed and a voice appeared into the heads of all the magical girls in the vicinity of it. "I will lessen my hate towards all the ones I have an vendetta against for the sake of past mistakes. The Arrangement of the vendettas will be arranged to how I see them based on things I have seen in the world since my defeat 300 years before the 12th Century. Scarlett revitalize Shannon, the magical girl of the Earth, her abilities are unique and remind me of your younger sister," Bahamut telepathically said, to Shannon and his two champions outside.

Scarlett felt saddened at the realization of what has transpired but is happy that she gets to keep a feeling of her younger sister within this girl with the same name. "I will do what I can Bahamut the Platinum Dragon," Scarlett said, happily. Her rainbow colored aura started to flucuate a bit. She walked towards Shannon in Earth Golem form. "Err, how am I supposed to heal someone covered in Earth?" Scarlett asked, confused.

With the threat gone Shannon relaxed a bit and when Scarlett asked how she should heal her Shannon laughed a bit. "Oh yeah, let me fix that." Taking a step back the granite around her began to collapse and fall away. Sighing she hopped down from the pile of rocks and dusted herself off. "Glad that didn't last too much longer. I could keep it up a little while longer but I really don't like using so much of my strength." Stepping in front of Scarlett she was ready to receive some healing. Though she hadn't really taken any injury per say she effectively had using her Blood Magic.

Scarlett rainbow colored aura covered Shannon's entire body and it had a strange effect it was old magic. It had a revitalization effect and it felt as if there was a hot spring nearby. She had never been this focused in her life and the entirety of the spell was effective to the point astonishment. "It has been along time since I used the Revitalization or Regeneration Magic. It lasts for 3 hours," Scarlett said, informative and kindly. The Aura surrounding her faded completely and was only surrounding Shannon. She yawned a bit and was tired since this healing spell takes more out of her than the one that healed Fiona. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the other two.

The other two Seraph Angels were chatting away in the distant. The 10 Chaos Angels went back through the portal. The Portal in the sky slowly vanished into nothingness. Sara smiled and flew off in the direction of the city that was on the North Side of Penrose. Fiona sighed and wondered where she was going. "Shannon, thank you for arriving to my aid," Fiona said, kindly.

Smiling brightly, Shannon bowed in a brief curtsy. "My pleasure. I am glad to hear that my efforts have improved standings with your patron." Even though she was being healed it would take a while before she was back in top shape. Shaking her head slightly she looked off in the direction of Penrose. "Well I guess I'm going to be late to my meeting. I left the bus behind to come here."

Fiona giggled at that. "I hope you get there alright than even if it will take you awhile," Fiona said, happily. She was looking at the rainbow-colored healing spell surrounding Shannon. "Scarlett, can only us see that?" Fiona asked, curiously.

Scarlett looked over to Fiona and nodded. "Only magical entities can see it," Scarlett said. She looked about and smiled a bit. "Our patron has much rethinking to do about all the people he has an vendetta against," Scarlett said. She picked up dirt and used what's left of her magic to make a rainbow-colored flower and held it in front of Shannon. "With this magical flower. You can contact Fiona and me to help you with anything you require that doesn't involve me being a dragon," Scarlett said, happily. She disliked being in her dragon form since it terrifies people more than anything. She had to deal with that a long time ago too.

Taking the flower Shannon nodded in thanks. "I've never had such a beautiful way to communicate before. I will be sure to let you know if I'm in a pinch. I would stay and chat but I really do have to get going. It was nice meeting you." Stopping to think for a moment she decided it was worth asking. "You wouldn't happen to have a faster way to Penrose would you?"

Fiona heard the question and smiled. "I would have a faster way if I was at my estate the Grail Estates," Fiona said. She looked at Scarlett.

Scarlett sighed with a slight annoyance. "Why are you looking at me, Fiona?" Scarlett asked, annoyed.

A familiar voice appeared in the minds of the three here. A strange door appeared right in front of the three and it looked strange. "Where you wanting to go Shannon? This is a gateway to my dimension but for this time only it will open up to anywhere in Penrose City you want to go," Bahamut said, a tone of normalcy and kindness.

Scarlett had a sigh of relief because Bahamut saved her from becoming a massive dragon. She moved her hands closer to her for the happiness of not turning into a dragon.

Shannon clasped her hands together and bowed again, greatful for the offer. "You are awesome, Bahamut. I need to be at the Penrose Hospital like an half an hour ago. I won't forget your kindness here." She laughed to herself but was clearly sincere about what she said. Given other Puchuu girls the dragon had run across in the past, Shannon was far and away less judgemental to the lesser force and his underlings.

The Door changed to that of as if it was a Hospital door but the exact location of it was nearby the hospital. "When you exit out of the door you will be a few blocks away from the hospital. Be hopeful in your endeavors because that isn't the last time you will see Zani Gold Eyed and my sister's wrath," Bahamut telepathically said to Shannon.

Fiona and Scarlett was a bit startled that their patron was being a much kinder to humans. They had a expression of awe at this discovery.

"Gotcha big guy. I'll see you later." She opened the door and went through. The portal disappeared immediately upon closing the door and Shannon found herself just where Bahamut had said. Little did she expect the craziness that was awaiting.

Alicia Hayden

All told things were going pretty well at the hospital, as far as Alicia could see. the dolls went down one after the other, not able to compare to the power that was being brought against them. Up against an assortment like that they didn't stand a chance. She did notice that Natasha had not shown up yet, but she was sure that it was just a matter of time. The girl would not miss a fight.

"Just in time," she reassured Penny when their ally arrived. there were plenty of dolls to go around, at least at the moment.

Soon enough the last of the dolls in immediate range had been dispatched, aside from some far away ones who didn't seem like they were going to be threatening anyone. She relaxed a bit, a satisfied smile reaching her lips as she surveyed the scene. A good days work, as far as she was concerned.

But she was distracted from the new arrival by a sudden alert. "Alicia Hayden, you are in danger."

Looking around in confusion, she quickly located the Beckoner hovering nearby. It had appeared out of nowhere as they were wont to do, so she really just wanted to know what it meant. They had handled the threat, hadn't they? "What is it?" she asked with a curious nod.

The Beckoner floated forwards, gesturing to Ilia and Umeko who were some distance away. "Those two are dangerous, and are wanted for having killed our Chosen, like yourself. Deliver our vengeance upon them and ensure that no one else suffers a similar fate at their hands."

Alicia's gaze narrowed on the duo as she nocked her bow, before finding it dragged away to the new arrival who seemed to attack one of the other girls without provocation. It seemed things just kept getting more complicated with every passing moment. Well, she would just have to handle this as best she could. There was no other way to go about it. "Star Seraph, burn!"

With her intonation a glyph would trace itself in the air in front of her as she drew on her magic. Once the intricate lines had formed she released the arrow, only for it to get caught in the glyph. It shimmered and multiplied into a myriad of bolts instead. With a snap of her fingers they would be launched, angling in on Ilia and Umeko with an unerring accuracy. Even if they had protection, she was confident that they couldn't dodge them all. Hopefully some early shots would give her a decisive advantage.

---

As Helga appeared next to her, Umeko snarkily said, "Well thank you for finally gracing us with your presence. I was starting to wonder where you were" but as soon as the girl came, she was gone. Umeko would have to save her little chat with the girl for another time as she saw some of the Beckoners appear and their presence always lead to a battle. Umeko wasn't wrong, with her third eye she could tell one of the Beacon girls was reading an attack. She quickly telepathically told Ilia to ready a countermeasure for the on coming onslaught.

As the arrows shot out, Ilia quickly used his gravity magic to fling the surrounding dolls forward to form a make shift blockade. The arrows decimated the dolls in a glorious light show of explosions. Though a few shots did make it past the makeshift defense, for the most part Ilia and Umeko only received minor wounds. Ilia licked some of the blood off his arm before as a smirk appeared on his face. The naga found fighting other magical girls to be quite exhilarating and thought that this new girl could give a fun fight. "Come on, I know the beacon has more than just a few fireworks for two of its most beloved friends. After all we traveled quite a ways to meet you in this town with gifts no less." With that remark Ilia sent the jagged and mangled remains of the dolls flying at Alicia and Janet.

As Umeko brushed of some the of ruble from the explosion, she once again readied her weapon. Even with taking into the account the meager dolls, they where easily outnumbered by the beacon and their allies. The metal monstrosity seeming to be quite a peculiar. A monster girl working with the beacon was something she thought she would never see, though knowing the beacon they would stab in her in the back sooner or later. "My quarrel is only with beacon, all others may back down and stay out of our way."

The chaos of the moment seemed to only get greater with the introduction of three... two new players. A magical girl and boy arrived and threw a few warning shots as her feet. This really wasn't what they needed right now. The mechanical enemies didn't seem to be all that difficult to deal with though. What was the point of the attack then? To get them to come here? Either way newcomers were quickly outnumbered as the other Beacon and their ally arrived.

Alicia launched a barrage at Ilia and Umeko which was largely blocked by the remaining machines that got turned into a makeshift shield. During the exchange Janet's Beaconer popped in to inform her that the two had killed several of their own and were priority targets. This elicited a sigh from the blonde, it seemed that no matter what they were going to have to fight someone. Though these two seemed to be looking for trouble. "Do we really need to do this? Couldn't you just go off and bother someone else?" Unlikely given the circumstances but it was worth asking.

Turning to the new enemy Janet gripped her sword and moved in. This was a tad risky since she didn't exactly know what they could do, but so far she'd seen something akin to gravity manipulation. Most of her own abilities required they she get up close though. Closing the gap she swung her sword at Umeko while being outside of range. The water blade shifted shapes into a spear in an attempt to surprise her opponent and reach the rest of the way.

@Card Captor@Ariamis@Shifter_Master@skarsgard

Penny felt fantastic, and wasn’t sure how to feel about that for the most part. The dolls were easily decimated, and the crunching sound they made when she hit them hard enough was more satisfying than it had any right to be. She knew why, Laat had explained as best he could about what had changed with her transformation, but hearing about it and experiencing it were two very different things.

It was due to this uncertainty that Penny was rather oblivious to the fact that new people had arrived on the scene. She had been moving on auto pilot for a most of the fight, focusing on the inhuman dolls, while she got accustomed to the feeling of being in a true fight. All of the dolls being dragged away by an unseen force did bring her to the present however.

She gave a low whistle at the light show, jealous that she wasn’t capable of the same type of offence. She was quick to react to the counter attack. Wrenching a nearby stop sign from the ground she placed herself directly in the path of the launched debris and used the sign as an improvised bat to knock most of the scrap to the side and what she wasn’t able to knock away was negated by Alex’s force field.

”Seems a bit rude to be throwing trash at people don’t you think?” Penny asked with a crooked grin as she placed her weapon on her shoulder, taking in the new comers a bit better as she did. There was a Naga Monster boy and a Magical girl front and center that had most of her allies attention, though she wasn’t sure why. She also caught sight of Lily fighting someone but didn’t have a good angle to see who or what they might be. With a mental shrug she decide to take a wait and see approach to this fight.
