7:32PM on the road



"Hah!" Cinnamon cried out.

"Wh-what's wrong?" Eileen asked, continuing to drive in a hunched over posture, like an old woman.

Cinnamon was sweating bullets. How had his senses been so off? "This is bad!" he projected telepathically to all the girls, "Th-there's at least one monster for EACH of you! Abort rendezvous! Your top priority right now is survival! Fend off the one that is currently attacking you and report!" Cinnamon was shaking. Something of this magnitude had happened only once. Right before the final showdown with Dollmaster, Dollmaster had resurrected all past defeated monsters for one final blitz. Justice Heart was able to fend them off, but that was when they were at their peak. Cinnamon wasn't even sure if Justice Heart, old and rusty as they were now, could even handle one monster without taking a few casualties.

"Wh-what?!" Eileen asked, unconsciously swerving from Cinnamon's announcement, eliciting a loud, annoyed honk from behind. The offended car changed lanes and zoomed past Eileen's car, but not before the driver rolled down his window, flipped her off, and shouted, "Crazy Asian woman drivers!"

"Uuh...uuuuuuuugghhh..." Eileen slumped into her seat and slowed down some more, sobbing.

"N-now's not the time for that!" Cinnamon said, "There are two heading right for us! Two? Cinnamon looked out the window and saw Justice SolarFlare's car driving beside them. That made sense then. "Quick! You two should get out and transform!" Cinnamon announced telepathically only to Eileen and Fiona, but as the creatures began to catch up, Fiona started accelerating. Taking her cue, Eileen followed suit. "Wh-what are you doing!?" Cinnamon demanded, frantically attempting to buckle up his tiny plush body into the passenger seat. He missed the days when he traveled everywhere either being carried around in the bosom of one of the girls, or riding in one of their totebags. He had never gotten the hang of riding in these flimsy, tin suicide machines known as 'cars'.

"I-I'm j-just following..." Eileen squeezed out. As a timid driver, she had never driven this fast before. But due to her nature, she was usually perceptive when others gave her non-verbal cues, as her need to please others had become a sort of second nature.

What happened next was a blur, and before she knew it, Eileen was leaving a fireball of a wreck behind her, while rolling down the window to let her comrade and mother of two inside the car. Cinnamon was unable to escape as Fiona sat right into him, crushing him against the back of the passenger seat.

"G-good evening...oh what a day, what a l-lovely day..." Eileen replied, her brain and tongue confused from all the excitement. "Oh, uh...y-you're sitting on the Judge..." Eileen pointed out.

Communicating telepathically, since all his mouth could achieve at this moment were muffled mumbles, Cinnamon said, "That collision won't have killed it, and it has a friend. You girls should probably get out and transform."

7:32 PM Fleeing

"Geeeh." Lily weakly protested as her body still reacted to the ruckus going outside. She really wanted to be sleeping and taking a rest right now, believing her part had been done. But there was an awful racket outside. "Buzz off". She groaned, still half drunk. It was then when Carrie's voice awakened her once again. It was Carrie. She was on top of the roof, and more magical girls were arriving. But still, the fact that her old comrade was back despite her life pains, and was already kicking ass, all while her sister was looking there still trying to drive and look panicked, awoke something in the eternal 12-year old.

"cksake." She half motioned as she pulled her pendant out of her purse, initiating a quick transformation complete with sparkly moves and the most tepid entonation of her transformation spell ever. "Star Transformation Water Lily whatever." She mumbled, as she pulled the door open and flung herself in the roof in the fray once more, her healing spells already burning the alcohol out of her body. She looked in top shape, in no in small degree the fact that she still fit the same childish dress of 20 years ago.

"Time to kick ass!" She yelled as she aimed her wand and..." Moonlight BeeEEEEEGHRRMG!"

Apparently that wasn't the type of projectile attack she wanted to do, but with the sudden jolts of the car, the healing rush, and the alcohol, the contents of Lily's stomach were flung at high speed towards the creatures.

Oh well, it would serve as a distraction.

7:32PM Fleeing by Vehicle from Police Bar
Direct Interactions - @AtomicNut@shagranoz
Carrie seemed to heavily injure the snake like monster with her Thunder Breath, the lightning electrocuting it to a critical state. The serpent was fast, but lightning was faster. It seemed this magical girl was ideal for fighting this creature. That wasn't the case for the armored creature running towards them however, which was barreling down on the now exposed lightning based magical girl.

"L-Lily? What are you doing!?" The older sister watched her little sister climb out of the car window and get on the roof. Did she use to be this crazy?

No, she was just drunk. The projectile vomit flew towards the armored creature. The attempt to have it be a proper distraction was effective though, with even the shadowy armored creature stopping at the display and blankly staring for a few seconds in complete confusion.

Emily took her opportunity. "H-Holy on Lily!" The car spun around - thankfully not into oncoming traffic, as the cars behind the fight had stopped and were desperately try and run away.

"Carrie! Get in, now! We can't fight it!" Carrie's powers were useful against a mobile target, she knew. But an armored target would likely be more resistant to her attacks.

As she waited for Carrie to hop in, Emily sung the ridiculous tune that was needed to make her transform. "Celestial world come to me! Starheart Transformation!" The ridiculous costume she wore as a young teenager appeared on her body, wand in hand. In an attempt to help out her teamate, Emily drew a path to the car door her companion would be able to move more rapidly across.


@Hero@Stern Algorithm - Driving together
The car transference was nothing short of epic, as the car crashed into the plastic market both setting it alight as a pile of smelly, burning plastic and likely driving up Fiona's insurance rates considerably. The pair of them were focused on bigger things however, as Cinnamon continued his desperate job despite his current, crushed state.

The plastic monster was slowed down, but the shadow monster was directly behind them in the car, hiding behind their seats from the angle of the sun. "Kzzzzkreeet!" The shadow monster lunged for the driver - it'd probably be good to transform before the attack hit her normal body.

@Flamelord - Driving
Fortunately, Vivian would find herself receiving an additional warning before a gust of wind flew by her, shaking the motorcyle and likely tilting it slightly and lifting one of the wheels off the ground before slamming back into the highway.

In front of her appearing was a gigantic, humanoid, storm like creature that materialized next to the motorcycle, moving alongside and and reaching it's fist back.

Driving would likely find itself a secondary concern for Vivian shortly.

@Ugii
As Courntey's pain in the ass was easily removed - the poisonous spines were barbed however, so it carried a bit of extra skin along with it. She'd feel a little woozy from the blood loss and from something the spine had in it, but the transformation would fire off successfully, the twenty-year old costume assembling on her body with both pink guns materializing into her holsters. As she'd look up, she'd see the strange monster strafe throughout the sky, trying to find a favorable bead on it's currently hidden target once again.

Before Courtney would get too comfortable, the trashcan with ring loudly - with one of the spines sticking halfway out of her own side as the monster started to fire at it.

@Rune_Alchemist@Pyromania99 - Apartment
The couch was easily cut in half, pieces of wood shattering and fabric tearing as Vale sliced it in two. An ethereal shadow briefly appeared, before flying into the kitchen.

Cabinets began to open, drawers began to roll out, and their contents began floating as if carried by some unfindable force. Then they began to fly through the air at the earth-based magical girl.

As for her companion in more ways than one, the water monster indeed did explode, detonating by the soundwaves into a million tiny drops, soaking the floor. If Alice felt relieved for a couple seconds though, she was foolish: detonating a liquid monster wasn't exactly the most lethal thing in the world, and the drops recoalased into a bigger, larger monster, with more water still flowing into the apartment.

It was clear as the water elemental began to swing that the landlord would not be happy with them.

With everything that was happening, Elise could only blink stupidly from her position on the ground. Running her head, she slowly got up and looked over to the fight. It looked like Courtney had caught a stinger to the ass, but she seemed to be handling it well enough. She'd managed to transform too, although the bug she was fighting probably wasn't going to make things easy for her.

"Well, I guess it's time I got started too." She said, standing up shakily and grabbing her necklace. "As the darkness fades, I'll open up to face the dawn! Justice Bloooo-"

And then she was cut off, as the electric monstrosity that she may have forgotten was also there threw her through the window of a nearby shop. For a moment, she simply lay there, slumped against the pile of glass and smashed furniture. To any onlookers, she may very well have looked dead.

That is, until a single, glowing gold flower petal floated past her face.

Suddenly, a second, a third, and a fourth joined the first, and it continued until a full stream of petals was floating around her.

And then she grinned.

"Promised Petal Blade."

And as she spoke, the stream flowed to surround her sword, which she promptly slashed upwards. As she did so, an arc of petals flew from the blade, colliding with the black lightning monster and sending up a cloud of dust and debris.

"You know, I'm pretty sure the old monsters at least gave us time to transform..." She said, cracking her neck as she reemerged from the smashed storefront. "Still though, considering you're fighting the strongest member of Justice Heart, I can't say I blame ya!"

Carrie knew she was outgunned. One on one, her versus the snake was likely to be in her favor, but she'd never been good at getting her attacks to penetrate any sort of armor, and if that shadowy monstrosity got its hands on her, she was dead. Fortunately, Emily gave her an out.

Sliding onto Emily's ribbon of light, Carrie entered the car NASCAR-style. "Get us out of here!" she yelled. This serpent, the armored monster- she'd fought them before. Another piece of evidence that Dollmaster was back, and eager for revenge. The thought chilled her to the bone.

Lily was still hammered, and it wasn't pretty. The other girl was barely functional. Carrie looked at her friend, knowing that they'd need her help to survive this. "Lily, listen to me. We're being attacked. You need to heal yourself, whip up a cure for drunkenness or something like that." She made a mental note to make Lily promise to lay off the booze, at least until the current crisis was over.

Turning to Emily, Carrie asked, "Do we have any plans? Meet up with the other girls, try to get some numbers together? Anything's better than just running aimlessly."

"You might be the strongest but I am the fastest!" chirped up Justice Goldenrod hearing the boastful declaration of Justice Bloom. Goldenrod gasped a bit noticing how far the barbed spike had gone-through. Stumbling upwards, due to a myriad factors such as the bloodloss from removing that spike, the fact her costume had roller-blades and whatever was in that spike, she eventually emerged from behind the trash-can!

Flailing her arms from side to side, "Eeeeewwooooa-" Justice Goldenrod squealed out as she found herself skating a bit off balance on the side walk. With a brief moment of thinking about why she wanted to have roller-skates, Justice Goldenrod found her traction.

"Let me shoot from the heart~ YEAH!" declared Justice Goldenrod as she pulled out her twin guns and performed a quick pose. This wasn't cop business, this was magical girl business so she could afford to be more stylish and 'quippy' here! With that said she rollerbladed down the side-walk as she began firing blasts of yellow hearts from both guns at the dragon-fly monster.

Isana Seiger

Isana's and Alice's Apartment

---

"Ha!" Isana laughed, Vale slamming into the couch hard enough to cut it cleanly in two. The large, earthen blade wasn't particularly sharp, but boy, did it pack a punch. Her victory was short lived, however. Whatever spirit had possessed the couch and rudely interrupted her dinner, flew right into the kitchen and started making a mess of the place.

"Tsk-hey!" It had gotten into the refrigerator. A container of leftover spaghetti came flying at her, barely having time to avoid it and causing it to fly at Alice. "I was gonna eat that for breakfast!" Gah! How was she supposed to fight something she couldn't see!? It annoyed her to no end. These sorts of enemies were always the worst. Used to, she'd just attempt to blow everything to smithereens, but that wouldn't exactly be a good idea some thirty floors up indoors.

As pots and pans continued to fly towards her, she expertly deflected them with Vale, sending them clanging and scattering off the blade and falling towards the ground.

"Any bright ideas, Alice!?" She shouted. She hated being on the defensive like this, or relying on someone like Alice in this sort of situation, but she didn't have any ideas unless she wanted to level the entire apartment building in the process.

Vivian Everett

Driving down the highway, Vivian grinned as she enjoyed the wind in her hair. There was nothing like a bit of speed to get your energy back up after a long day of work, at least in her mind. She did always enjoy the open road even if she found herself being pulled back into town time and time again. But she would not let herself slip into that kind of thought as she headed towards her first destination of the night.

Finding herself contacted again by their former mascot, she was about to blow it off when a gust of wind suddenly slammed past her motorbike, much too concentrated and much too fast to be anything other than an attack. Gritting her teeth, Vivian forced the wheel back down as her gaze swept the horizon to find where the attack had come from.

Not that she had to look hard as a monster appeared right in front of her, some sort of humanoid storm thing that was more wind than monster. "Guess the other one got pulled after all," she muttered to herself in disbelief as she veered to the side to dodge another attack before gunning the engine and taking off. Not that she figured she could outrun the thing, but it might buy her a bit of time that she could use to handle this situation.

"Shift!"

White light flared out from where she was, a ball of twirling wires and threads surrounding her for a few moments before she was left back on the road in her magical girl outfit. Surprisingly it still fit her, though it was a cringe worthy now as she remembered it. But there was no time to focus on how bad her decorative choices had been in the past. She had a fight to worry about.

Pulling around, she manifested her hammer as she slammed on the brakes. The creature would shoot ahead of her for a few moments and that was all the time that she needed to make this work. "Take this!" With a cry she swung the hammer at the wind monster. A dark orb coalesced at the end of the hammer before being flung towards the monster at the apex of the swing, drawing it in and subjecting it to the crushing force of gravity. Ideally it would immobilize the thing and leave her in good standing.

Meanwhile, she could focus on linking up with the rest of the team, once that problem was dealt with. "Fine, you guys win. Where are you?" she muttered, hoping an answer would quickly present itself as she put the pedal to the metal again.

Isana's and Alice's Apartment

---

"Not that I'm really surprised, but I was rather hoping it had a core like a slime in some of those game." Alice mentioned as the water thing pulled itself back together. Then she looked over to Isana chopping the couch in half. "NOOOOO! WE HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES ON THAT COUCH." She exclaimed, shocked by that more than a water creature in her apartment. "All those dishes are rare pieces you can't find anymore!" She couldn't stand another direct hit like this. Forget drowning! This destruction was directly damaging her heart.

The Isana asked her for suggestions. "Ideas?" She was getting irritated at this situation... "Fine, I have one." She muttered, grabbing Isana's hand. "It's called a tactical retreat to prevent the further lose of property!" With that, she dragged Isana alongside her outside the apartment and flew off and it just so happened to be in the direction of the other members of Justice Heart. "I'm sorry, Isana... But my heart couldn't take it anymore." She said with a look of minor despair on her face.

"Y-yeah. That's what I'm thinking." The gas pedal was practically on the floor, and with monsters following their car people were happy to move out of the way. For a few moments, it seemed like the enemies would catch up with them, the mom having to maneuver the car out of the way.

She hoped Lily wouldn't puke anymore.

"Oh thank god." Flying through the air were two other of the members of Justice Heart, and hopefully Isana wouldn't be feeling so lazy as to stop herself from utterly crushing the tough, armored foe behind them. The window rolled down quickly. "ISANA!" She pointed at the rock monster hoping Alice would get the message about what the pair of them needed to fight. "Carrie, if anything follows them destroy it!"

Emily waved her wand, giving the pair of them a nice 'slide' down to the street level so they could join in on the fun before shooting a star shot behind them in an attempt to slow the monster down. Hopefully Lily would wake up in time to heal their party if things went downhill.


@Ugii@Rabidporcupine - Outside of the Bar
The monster flying in the sky was finally hit, surprised by how Goldenrod burst from around the corner in her extravagant costume firing pistols rapidly. A few of its spines landed on the ground behind the roller-blading magical girl, but they were far too slow for how fast the member of Justice Heart was moving. The hit clipped one of its wings, the bug twirling towards the ground and landing flat on the pavement, where a panicked car ran into it. It seemed the spine monster was overrun by the combined strength of the police and civilian sectors.

As for her friend, the lightning monster didn't seem to care for their bragging. As the phantasmal flowers formed themselves, the monster merely cocked its head in confusion. Elise was ready to fight as a lightning bolt slammed in her direction.

@Flamelord
The gravity hammer was an intense weapon - especially against solid, tough foes. But hitting this monster was like trying to punch a hurricane. The orb itself seemed to contain the monster for a short time though, hopefully giving Vivian the time she needed to catch up with the rest of the party on her motorcycle.

"We are on the road, by the tavern the police always drink at! A couple of the girls should still be there!" Hopefully the Judge would be kind enough to relay her message.

The car transference was nothing short of epic, as the car crashed into the plastic market both setting it alight as a pile of smelly, burning plastic and likely driving up Fiona's insurance rates considerably. The pair of them were focused on bigger things however, as Cinnamon continued his desperate job despite his current, crushed state.

The plastic monster was slowed down, but the shadow monster was directly behind them in the car, hiding behind their seats from the angle of the sun. "Kzzzzkreeet!" The shadow monster lunged for the driver - it'd probably be good to transform before the attack hit her normal body.

"Why haven't you transformed yet!?" Cinnamon screamed mentally, panicking as he sensed the shadow monster swiftly close the distance.

"I-I'm d-d-driving..." Eileen stammered, but a quick look into her side mirror sent her into a panic as well. "I-it's time for Justice!" Eileen called out, her voice cracking. Letting go of the wheel, a dangerous and stupid thing to do, Eileen did her best to perform her transformation pose, which normally involved her raising her hands above her head, her magical transformation pocketwatch in her right hand, while her left arm circled in front of her body, mimicking the hands on a watch face. When her hands reunited above her head, she would transform. As it was, the tiny hatchback was too small to accommodate full range of motion, so what Eileen ended up doing was a cramped, awkward, and extremely dangerous maneuver. Still, the magical laws of the universe accepted it, and in a violet glow, Eileen transformed into her skimpy magical girl outfit.

This wasn't going to protect her though. But if she suited up right now into her mecha armor, the spiky bits of her materializing armor would rip right through her car. This not only could potentially hurt Fiona sitting next to her, but it would destroy their last form of transportation, since Fiona had already wrecked her car. Without any transportation, Eileen didn't know how they were going to rendezvous with the others, a vain goal that Eileen still hoped to achieve.

"F-Flare...c-can you take care of the monster for a bit while I park on the side of the road?" Eileen asked timidly.

"WHAT!?"

I-I don't wanna destroy my car...w-we'll still need it..." Eileen replied, quiet and sullen.

Isana Seiger

Unfriendly reunion - @AtomicNut@shagranoz@Pyromania99

---

"G-h-hey! My Chinese food!" Isana shouted in despair as she was suddenly yanked by her cape by Alice, dragging her out the window and down onto the streets below. At least she was going to be too upset about it. Alice was right, if they had continued to fight there then it would have likely cost them both a little money. Still...but thinking about that delicious food she had just lost, made her more irritable than she already was.

More importantly though -

"ISANA!"

The voice of someone she'd rather not have heard ever again. She scowled, turning her head towards the source of it. Emily. Less than favorable opinions of her aside, she was not someone that Isana wanted to deal with, or speak to right now. A quick look at the situation though, it seemed they weren't the only ones present either. Lily, Carrie, and Justice Bloom were there too. Sickening. It almost made her want to fight them instead of the monsters. Hmph. If Alice wasn't here, she very well might.

Well, whatever. She'd take her frustrations out on that rock monster. They were having trouble with that thing? Pathetic. It didn't even look a bit dangerous or large. Fine. She'd finish this in one blow so she could get back to her Chinese food...or whatever was left of it.

When Isana hit the ground, and without missing a single beat or instance, a rampart raised from the ground beneath her, launching her with force towards the earthen creature wordlessly, not even acknowledging the other Justice Heart's presence.

"DIAMOND..." She gripped the sword in her hand with both hands. Pillars of earth rocketed from the ground around her, before shattering into many bright, shining gemstones of some sort. Each flashed brightly, shimmering with magic. "...BREAKER!" Swinging the sword horizontally, Vale slammed into the midsection of the car sized monster, causing the beast to stagger backwards as it obviously hadn't expected such a quick, frontal assault. In the next instant the gemstones flashed, slamming into the monster at high speed, each hit causing it to lose more and more balance until it had finally fallen over.

"Hmph." Isana landed on top of the monster, or whatever was left of it. some of the rock from it had been chipped off, scattering into pebbles around the area. She hefted Vale, resting it on her shoulders. "Weak. Too easy." She said in an almost emotionless, completely uncaring tone.

Eileen had transformed, much to Fiona's chagrin. She wiggled herself up, yanking Cinnamon by his ears so he wouldn't be crushed between her and the seat, though she let him go as she gasped. Shoot, the monster was attacking! She looked at Eileen, who meekly asked her to transform to take care of their enemy. Eileen may have been gung-ho about all this, but Fiona was a grown woman now! Well, they both were, but still! They had defeated the Big Bad, this was supposed to be their ever after! And her future did NOT include returning to the battlefield. She had a family, if she got hurt or lost her life, there would be repercussions!

"Please don't call me that...!" Fiona couldn't help but whine her response at Eileen. No, she didn't want to transform! She didn't want any of this!

Letting out a whimper of defeat, Fiona let out a groan as she fished her transformation trinket out of her pocket. Her heart raced against her chest as she gripped it tightly, forcing herself so go through the motions. Letting out a yell of frustration, Fiona rolled down the window on her side, exiting through it. The speed of the car whipped her hair around as she climbed to the top of the car, a death grip on the stupid trinket.

"I summon the Passion of the Sun! Justice Solar Flare!" She called, wincing as flames covered her physical body. As they dispersed, her conservative, motherly clothing was replaced with something that a high school girl would wear to a rock concert. She visibly shivered, her outfit leaving her a lot more vulnerable to the winds. At least her hair was in a ponytail, but her exposed skin caused her to visibly cringe. She was much too old to be dressed like this!

Regaining her composure, she drew her fist back, flames gathering, and she punched them forward at the monster.

Snickering to herself Justice Goldenrod performed a quick twirl and returned the gun in her left hand back into a holster. “Told you I’m the fastest.” beamed out Justice Goldenrod clearly proud of what she accomplished. Though with that said, when she was younger chances were that she wouldn’t have to oh, get shot with a mysterious barb, to defeat it. But hey a win was a win.

While Justice Goldenrod had defeated the one monster that was endangering her, well not just hers after all it was very popular with colleagues and friends but it was one of her regular hangouts, turf there was still the other monster at play. The electrical abomination which Justice Bloom had the fortune, or misfortune rather, of facing! With that a slew of thoughts came into Courtney’s mind.

Would Elly be mad at me for taking a few shots at the thing? She is strong... Which quickly led to another thought, Maybe just one would be okay. She could beat it up afterwards. Again more flurry of thoughts had occurred to her. God I wish this thing was gone, I could scratch my ass. But wait, proooobably shouldn’t do that! ...BUT IT’S SO ITCHY! Grimacing and shaking her head, Courtney focused on the situation at hand which again led her to more thoughts. Oh hang on. ...Didn’t the other ladies need help? They couldn’t have gone thaaaaat far. It’s only been what, a minute? Two?

Snapping her fingers, with the hand that didn’t have a pistol in it of course, Courtney came up with an idea that would probably help out her pal without stealing the spotlight, and letting the others know for sure where the Hell some of them were.

Justice Goldenrod opened up the magazine of her family-friendly-firearm and began motioning her index finger to make a series of presses upon the ammo within.

“Pixels of Pixies, hic, prepare my pretty pretty pistol...” Courtney chanted out as she prepared the ammo for a more important attack. With that incantation, of sorts, finished she returned the magazine back into place.

“Hey Sparky!” she taunted towards the creature, both as a mechanism for possible distraction and more of just wanting to get in some verbal jousting, “Time for a little heart to heart!” With that line shouted out, Cartwright fired the striped polka dotted heart at the electrical monstrosity hoping for a proper impact and more importantly marking the creature for tracking.

7:34 PM

Lily stared blandly at the chaos unfolding before her, adjusting her suit and no worse for the wear after the stunt. There had not been much time to kickass, apparently. As flawed and annoying some of the former girls had grown, the instinct to fight monsters, bicker later was still running strong. The alcohol of her system healed and flushed, she spun her wand in a combat stance, her eyes eyeing the gathering of girls.

Glorious clusterfuck if they ever saw one, as she eyed Emily in the dress once more. She remembered the first time they had gone all together, and how the dress seemed to look on her. Now, it looked atrocious. On everyone but herself, a stark reminder that, she alone, was still the only one who looked like a proper magical girl. Even though Justice Heart was long and done, it was at least a bit heartwarming that despite these issues they had still enough moral compass to tackle monsters before their personal problems.

She narrowed her eyes, trying to scan for clues, her healing magic at standby. She gritted her teeth. "Somehow I doubt this is over, stay sharp." She blurted out. After years of dealing with crime, she knew that dropping one's guard was inviting failure. She grimaced, hoping that the reinforcements behaved. Isana was a selfish bitch, and Alice just had that stupid habit of treating Lily as either a doll or a kid, whichever she fancied.

But well, Carrie was there. She was kind of reliable. Unlike Emily at times. Her sight lingered on her a bit too much, before making a sort of introspection. Why here, and why now? And why does it seem like the monsters are actually matched to our abilities?

Vivian Everett

Glancing over her shoulder, Vivian was pleased to see that her hammer had effectively locked the monster in place by the force of gravity. But it was not dead, and if it could stand up to that then it could probably take all her attacks short of Meteor Strike. Which wasn't exactly something that she was going to break out in the middle of the highway.

"Well hanging out by the police isn't exactly my idea of a good time," Vivian muttered as she received the message telling her where to go. "But I guess I can make an exception." Hopefully they wouldn't turn her in, or stick up for her if one of the actual cops noticed. Or something.

Revving the engine, she made a sharp turn as she headed in the general direction of where she remembered the police bar to be. Those girls had better not be too busy, because she was not going to turn around just because they weren't. For a moment she actually felt pretty cool, riding on a motorcycle while swinging a hammer like a paperweight. Then she remembered that she was in her mid thirties, fleeing from a monster that by all rights she should have been able to smoke when she was in her prime.

She hated being older.

The creature rapidly closing in reminded her that she needed to focus, and she leaned forward with her hammer extended behind her, drawing closer to her destination. Hopefully they weren't too busy, because she was coming in hot.

It seemed everybody had converged, both magical girls and monsters alike. In some ways, that was a good thing- if Justice Heart could focus all their attacks on one monster, that would probably wipe it out and tilt the odds in their favor. Downside was, the monsters might well be thinking the same plan, only in reverse. Then, Carrie saw the water beast flowing out of the apartment building, and she gave a killer smile. She'd played enough Pokémon in her youth to know what to do.

Carrie considered her options. Wrath of the Storm would certainly fry her target into oblivion, and maybe even do some nasty collateral damage to another monster, but she wasn't sure she could channel so much electricity after being out of practice for twenty years, and some of her friends might well be caught in the blast. The latter problem was also in effect for Electric Explosion, and Thunder Breath was best used as a counterattack to charging enemies. With her choices reduced to a singularity, Carrie felt the power racing through her. How had she gone so long without this?

"Electric Pillar!" Carrie slammed her staff into the ground, and a bolt of lightning ripped through the monster's watery hide. Hopefully, that would do some significant damage.

Enthused Reunion

---

Isana didn't seem excitely happy, but Alice was different. Well, she was a bit down when Emily called for Isana rather than her, though she understood why. That was quite the monster. Nothing she could handle right now. Instead, she gave Isana some support. "You got him Isana!" She exclaimed, looking down at the car that housed three people. She decended to the group and took a peek.

"Emily! Lily! Carrie! I'm so happy I could kiss you all!" She added, giving a specific wink to Emily. She was the one of the group she had been with after all. "Well, I'll fawn over you all later. More important than that, we have some random poltergiest and a water elemental or something that crashed my house probably on the way. My voice can do many things but it can't put a ghost to sleep. Probably. Anyhowsers, if someone takes care of either I'll give them a special 'thank you' 'nap' with me." She added with a wink.

"I will, of course, provide back-up as always! I'll be your backup dancer in these situations." She mentioned with a giggle. "Oh! OHOHO! What kind of song do you guys want me to sing? I can do pop, Korean, Japanese, there is that one German song... Anyhow, tell me and I got you all covered!"

7:35PM Short Distance from Police Bar
Direct Interactions - @AtomicNut@shagranoz@Pyromania99@Rune_Alchemist@Flamelord
The armored figure was crushed easily beneath Isana's blow, shattering into a thousand pieces as she continued to watch over it. Following them were several pieces of furniture and a monster made of water, but the water monster exploded into a thousand tiny droplets as whatever made up its magical core detonated - and it seemed to have no intent of reforming in the face of Carrie's execution. The pieces of furniture threw themselves at Isana once again, but from the car Emily waved her wand towards the ground, collecting the pieces of furniture onto her magical path and gathering them into a single location - hopefully Isana would be smart enough to allow someone with a more magical attack to try finishing them off now that they were collected.

As Lily watched, she'd see Vivian riding into the scene, some sort of wind-like monster following her - it would be the ideal chance to fire off her beam of moonlight at the damned thing. While it wasn't strong, it was the ideal chance to deal some damage that would hopefully stick to it.

"A-Alice! Just do something useful!" Emily had stopped the car at this point - their group seemed far more collected, and they didn't need to flee anymore. She fired a shot at the pieces of furniture, trying to deal a bit of damage to them - hopefully someone would arrive shortly to finish it off.


@Stern Algorithm@Hero - Driving to Short Distance from Police Bar
The shadow monster lunged forward, the movement of the car sending its mark off kilter on the tech girl driving the car - only causing a rather nasty gash on her arm. However, as the shadow monsters mortal enemy appeared - a magical girl practically comprised of the sun - its eyes widened as it let out a death screech, obliterating into nothing in a single blow. There were no ashes, although perhaps a few burn marks stretched around the car.

It seemed the middle class mom had a few aces up her sleeve. The plastic monster was far enough behind, that if they continued driving they would find themselves arriving shortly.

As for Judge Cinnamon, he'd detect that the serpent that had been after Lily had backed away from the fighting for one reason or another, fleeing from the scene. Shortly afterwards, it would wipe itself from the radar as if it was truly gone.

@Ugii - Outside of Police Bar
As her companion fought the electrical monster, Goldenrod now left alone focused her lasers at the monster - it seemed the non-physical damage caused a hit, as the electrical being was hit by the magical woman's abilities. A large beacon appeared above them, making it apparent to the other magical girls where they were. The monster wasn't finished yet - the shot wasn't nearly effective enough to wipe it out, after all. However, it perhaps would clue their companions in on what was going on.

Oh good! Her shot fired true as it seemed the power of the pixies were with her. Justice Goldenrod smiled proudly at her craftsmanship, knowing full well the beacon would probably convince the rest of the gang to come to them instead of the other way around. Courtney tilted her head as she thought about the best course of action to take now.

Well there was always the option of helping Justice Bloom defeat the electrical menace. But Elise totally had it in the bag! So that was a no go. Since the beacon was up there was no real point in chasing down the streets for the other gals. And Courtney couldn’t just do nothing and idly wait. It was then she knew what she could do!

Returning the remaining pistol back into its holster Justice Goldenrod cupped her hands around her mouth and hollered out.

“LET’S GO JUSTICE BLOOM! LET’S GO!" She emphasized her cheering with a pair of claps. “LET’S GO JUSTICE BLOOM! LET’S GO!"

Justice Goldenrod began skating from side to side while shaking her butt around. After a few moments of doing a potpourri of performance moves, which were seemingly took longer than they did, she pointed at Elise, with a large smile on her face.

“KNOCK IT, ROCK IT, BEAT HIM OVER THE HEAD!” cheered out Courtney as she jumped up kicking her legs outwards in a split. “DON’T STOP UNTIL IT’S DEAD! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!~”
