Unfriendly reunion - @AtomicNut@shagranoz@Pyromania99

---

The rock monster dealt with, Isana took a moment to observe the others to get a grasp of the situation. Alice was being her usual self, Lily was surprisingly sober seeming, Emily was being bossy as always, and Carrie was...doing whatever it was she normally did. To put bluntly, they were doing pretty much exactly what she thought they'd be doing. No surprise there, and she cared little to spare a second thought about them. Instead, she just calmly observed the going on's. Part of her wanted to completely level that ghost thing but that would be an effort in futility at the moment.

Ugh, annoying and boring. These monsters weren't even halfway competent. It was like the monsters were playing with them. Plus, what were the chances of them all being targeted on the same night? Something smelled fishy here, and she didn't like being toyed with.

"Tch, give me something fun to fight if you're going to send monsters after me..." She grumbled, lightly tapping Vale against her shoulder. As much as she wanted to fight those amalgamation of their furniture...she also wasn't stupid enough to try it. So for now, she simply watched and waited idly.

7:36 PM Somewhere not over the rainbow. @shagranoz@Pyromania99@Rune_Alchemist@Flamelord@RabidAnubis

"Alice, being useful?" Lily just shook her head. "She's a support type, just like me, haven't you heard?" Lily just feigned mock despair, as she eyed the dregs of the monster attack still coming at them. She scoffed slightly at Isana's flippancy. Some things just got worst with age, didn't they. She saw Vivian, the bad girl of their lot. Well, the first Bad girl of the group. These days... well, nobody had gotten with life without a stain or two. Even her older sister. Lily breathed deep, focusing her annoyance, but only failing to partially curb it. She fumbled with her phone for a second, only to then suddenly take the initiative.

"Still, don't you worry sis!" She said, for a moment completely mimicking the inflections she had when she was 12. She didn't need to actually try to make her voice any different, since her voicebox had never changed. "I shall punish the evildoers!" She added as she spun her once staff in the air, making an exaggerated pose. "Piriririparu!" She added, launching her staff high in the air, her eyes aiming at the air monster.

The battery of her cellphone flied away to meet the supposed "Face" of the storm monster as she did so, an innocent-but-not-quite so smile forming in her lips. "Moonlight beam!" She said in her sweetest diabetic intonation, before dropping her tone a few octaves "Lithium battery mishap special."

FWOOSH. The hit was dead on, coating the air monster's face with a fast-spreading flame, and given that the thing was actually pure air, it would hopefully spread fairly quickly, disrupting any integrity the thing had.

"How 'bout that, you mutant Hobo Fart! This is for messing with the Justice b*tches, you f*cker!" She finished her spiel with a predatory grin.

Alice was feeling dismayed at the negative vibes from Lily. She didn't exactly feel anything sexual from her, but she thought she treated her well, just like the others back in the day. Not that she showed it on her face, but it dug deep... Well, deeper than the broken plates and stuff. There was still stuff she could do now though! Her song could reach far and wide. That was her power after all. Perhaps even now, she could reach out to the Justice Hearts and inspire them. Unlike the others, she had been practicing for years, mostly because singing was something she could do in her civilian form. "Fine, Lily! Be rude to me. Just because I sit this support role, it doesn't mean I'm useless."

She gave a light bit of a pout to Lily before bursting up into the air. "I'm an idol now! Listen now to a popular new song, "Starful Night Sky!" She spun her staff-microphone into the air and caught it, holding the mic close to her mouth. "Can you see the stars tonight? Painted, across the sky!" She continued to sing her high pitch, bright toned song. All the magical girls would be able to hear the song and likely instinctively know that it was Alice's doing. "Let them light up your path but your compass is your heart!" They'd find themselves noticeably stronger now, perhaps more inspired or sure of themselves. Something Alice thought Lily might need.

Vivian Everett

It was so sudden that Vivian almost didn't see it coming, focusing on getting to the police bar as she was. As a result she was taken off guard when she rushed past the people she recognized as the fellow members of Justice Heart each taking on their own problems in their own particular way. She hit the brakes, quickly slowing to a stop as she turned to face the monster that had been chasing her for so long. Now they could handle this bit of business.

She didn't have to say anything before Lily noticed her problem, sending an attack to ignite the thing on fire and hopefully kill it. At the very least it had a better chance of working than anything she had done so far, so she would have to be grateful for that. As much as she could be considering she'd barely heard from some of them for the past couple of years.

The motorcycle parked, Vivian hopped off the bike before removing her helmet as well. "Alright, what did you guys do?" she challenged, figuring they were the cause for why she had just been attacked by a monster out of the blue. Who else would be culpable for something magical like that?

She then noticed the conglomeration of furniture, held in place for the moment yet with no one else addressing it. "What, you guys couldn't handle a couch without me?" she asked with a hint of incredulity. Nonetheless she faced towards it, hefting her hammer and concentrating energy in it before launching another Dark Pulse at the thing. With it concentrated where it was, that would hopefully crush it down to nothing but splinters and debris, finishing it off for good.

@Pyromania99@shagranoz@AtomicNut@Rune_Alchemist@RabidAnubis

It seemed the water monster had been dealt with, and not a moment too soon. Other monsters of all shapes and sizes were attacking the girls, but at least they had the numerical advantage now. Carrie wiped her brow, feeling a little tired. Maybe she was out of practice, or perhaps years of reality had beaten the Friendship out of her, but she wasn't able to keep up the magic the way she had all those years ago. Still, she wasn't about to go down without a fight; that just wasn't her style.

The electrified magical girl looked around for her next target. The furniture monsters were made of wood, and therefore probably resistant to her attacks. The air monster seemed to be a better option, so she went for that just as Lily's attack hit hard. A blast of lightning slammed into the creature from the other side, hopefully speeding up its demise. "Could somebody get Goldenrod some duct tape for her mouth? She could really use it."

7:35PM Short Distance from Police Bar
Direct Interactions - @AtomicNut@shagranoz@Pyromania99@Rune_Alchemist@Flamelord
As Isana did nothing but observing, the eternal twelve-year-old blasted the monster constructed of air with a magical attack along with her lightning wielding former companion - the attacks seemed to disrupt its internal bonds as they were enhanced by the bards singing, bringing the monsters tirade to an end as Lily cursed loudly in her victory and Carrie complained loudly.

Also enhanced by the singing, Vivian forced the furniture demon's 'soul' to a single location, crushing it beneath her mighty hammer and ending it justly. Sure, her teammates furniture would evaporate in the attack, but wasn't that worth a victory?

Now, only the electricity monster attacking their companion remained. And some news crews that were currently flying up in the air, viewing the after math.

As for Emily, she sighed. "Come on guys! Courntey needs us!" Star Heart formed a trail to the enemies beacon, jumping on it to increase her speed as she fire a bolt to assist Justice Goldenrod from a far ranger - it missed, but at least she tried?

She hoped neither Justice Goldenrod or Justice Blood died.


@Stern Algorithm@Hero - Driving to Short Distance from Police Bar
The surviving monsters were now in full retreat, aside from the one attacking Carrie.

@Ugii - Outside of Police Bar
(GM NOTE: RabidPorcupine has done nothing, so I'm gonna write an assumption here.)

Despite her desperate cheers for her teammate (that would probably make anyone cringe, including the vast majority of the people watching the news at the moment) Justice Bloom flew into the tavern from a mighty punch dealt by the lightning monster. Now it turned to look at Courtney, the remaining person acting as a 'threat' - it tilted its head once more, but seemed even more perplexed.

What would Goldenrod do? Aside from likely ignoring Courtney's complaints, of course. How could anyone reduce her cheer?

"Ow fuckin Christ in a handbasket!" Elise shouted, having been thrown through the wall of yet another building by the electricity monster. However, on a brighter note, she soon realised that said building was the police bar, and she was currently slumped against the counter. Looking to her left, she saw a full bottle of whiskey, which she grabbed without a moments hesitation. And then, she nodded at the petrified man behind the counter and marched out through the hole she'd made in the wall, downing the entire bottle as she did.

"Alright!" She slurred. "I'll admit it, these are beginning to hurt! I just wanna make it clear though, I am very drunk, and I may have been underestimating you because of that, I may have been underestimating you. I was just playing with you! PLAYING!"

And then she smirked, casually chucking the bottle to the side.

"Let me correct that now. Petal Prison!"

As she shouted, a large whip of petals erupted from her sword, lashing through the Lightning creature again and again. With every lash, part of the creature split off, and although it quickly reconnected with the rest of the body, the part where the petals passed through remained gone. And with that knowledge in mind, the answer was simple.

Death of a thousand cuts.

Over and over again, the petals whipped through, getting faster and faster until the air was filled with a yellow blur. And just as she'd hoped, the creature was rapidly shrinking, as she continued to shred away at it.

"STRONGEST! MEMBER!" She shouted, the excitement as clear in her voice as the alcoholism. "Hey Courtney, it's working right?! I'm awesome, right?!"

Justice Goldenrod spun around on her heels as she turned to face Justice Bloom. Courtney raised up her hands and began quickly clapping. "Wooo~!" she declared and continued to clap. After a few moments of clapping Justice Goldenrod paused as she glanced up in the horizon.

"Oh! Oh! Look! Look!" Justice Goldenrod declared as she the 'shooting star' bolt in the distance, whizzing past some news crew helicopters. And of course she heard the song of the one they called White Heart, though Courtney herself couldn't make out a few of the lyrics. "It's either a shooting star OR they are coming to the metaphorical light of your strength!" declared Justice Goldenrod to in an attempt to make Justice Bloom feel awesome.

"OH! You know what we totally need to do, well assuming it isn't just a shooting star!? CHOREOGRAPHED POSES!" bubbly shouted out Courtney as she once again leaped into the air, this time kicking her feet behind her.

"After you can't properly judge a warrior unless you've seen them posing. After that maybe we can work on coordinated cheers; cause like we need both voice and posing..."

Unfriendly reunion

For the most part, it looked like it was over. Most of the monsters were dealt with, and Isana's interest in the situation was continuing to deteriorate. Alice was singing some ridiculous song - she was a fan of jazz and rock herself. Vivian just smashed her couch that she was rather fond of, and Elise was being her usual irritatingly aggressive self. The white haired woman frowned a bit at her proclamation of being the strongest, but otherwise just looked on with cold disinterest. Often, those who constantly shouted about how good they were at something, just had confidence issues. She'd perhaps like to fight with her some other day, but for now she just wanted to get back home. She had an off day tomorrow, and she didn't want to spend it putting up with the people in the world she hated the most.

"Hmph," Isana sighed, sheathing the earthen sword at her side as the other girls finished wrapping up what they were doing. It was a little to much to hope for something fun to fight coming along, as it? "Well I'm done here." She'd like to change back into her normal clothes, but since she was in nothing more than a loose shirt and her underwear...well, she had some modesty unlike a certain nympho. "You guys do whatever it is you normally do. I have better things to do than put up with you sorry excuses for humans." She shot a cold glare to everyone present, but for the most part didn't engage further.

She had to save what was left of her Chinese food. She swore to god if that monster messed with her computer she was gonna throw Alice at the next monster that showed up.

7:35PM Driving to Short Distance from Police Bar

@Hero @RabidAnubis

As Justice SolarFlare climbed to the roof of Eileen's car, Eileen began slowing down and heading to the side of the road, turning on her emergency lights for good measure. Suddenly, by some fluke, the monster dove straight at her as she was coming out of the car, slashing her arm. Eileen screamed as Fiona finished off the monster.

"Lily..." Eileen panted, holding her arm, and recognizing that she needed medical attention. Looking back at the smoldering ruin of Fiona's car, many, many yards away, she noticed that the plastic monster didn't seem to be coming after them.

"The monsters that haven't been killed are fleeing," Judge Cinnamon transmitted, "Do not pursue, regroup and we can debrief."

"C-can you take us to the bar?" Eileen asked Fiona, suggesting that she drive Eileen's car. Eileen rarely sustained an injury of this magnitude as she was usually suited up prior to an engagement. She was also rather crestfallen that she had not had the opportunity to actually suit up and relive her glory days. Wordlessly, she crawled into the passenger seat, still cradling her arm, and giving the Judge time to move out of her way so she wouldn't sit on him. Eileen had been useless today, what else was new?

It's...retreating?

Flare narrowed her eyes as the other monster made its hasty retreat, confirmed by Judge Cinnamon's mental announcement. Deciding it was safe enough and unwilling to bear the humiliation of her outfit any longer, Justice SolarFlare would immediately de-transform, her boots turning into heels as she jumped down from the car. She was relieved to be in her much more modest jeans and blouse as she turned towards Eileen, a frown on her face. She would completely forget about the monster entirely as she realized Eileen had gotten hurt.

As much as Fiona wanted to just go home, there was no way she could leave Eileen in that state. At her request, Fiona got into the driver's side, although she couldn't help but give Cinnamon an irritated look. "I don't understand why this is happening," She stated as she would shift the car into drive, continuing on to where seemingly everyone was converging.

Quitting Time

---

Alice finished her little performance and came to the ground where everyone was gathering. Well, perhaps more importantly, where her couch and other items were in pieces... Her heart cried out for the missing pieces... But most of all that couch... How many memories of messing with Isana did she have on that thing? How many woman had she seduced there? How many times did she have 'fun' with a multitude of her... Well... Perhaps it WAS time for a new couch... It was... Justice Verdant that did this, yes?

Before she changed back, it'd probably be a good idea to make people disperse right? She put her microphone-staff close to her mouth and spoke. "Hello, everyone! Welcome to the Justice Heart reunion concert! As you can see, we're all done here so go about your way on your normal day! Thanks for joining us!" She exclaimed, acting as if it were some pop-up concert. Hopefully, her power would make it so normal people would stop paying attention to them. "OH! And don't forget to pick up your own copy of the new anime 'Orange', or even watch it on 'CrispyRoll'! Thank you!" She was shameless as always.

With that, she made her way over to the one who destroyed her couch and changed back to normal once she was sure that no normal people were watching. She walked her way over to Vivian (if the woman were on the ground) and linked arms. "Heeeyyyy.... Vivian. Since you destroyed my couch, you get to have the honor of helping me pick a new one out." She tried her best to use that cutesy voice she used in some anime she was in.

Vivian Everett

Vivian nodded with satisfaction as her attack smashed the monster and finished it off for good. Seeing Dark Pulse in action always brought a sense of amusement to her with how it could destroy, and it felt much better to do it to that than to the wind monster she had been so completely ineffectual against. With that and one last monster dispatched, it seemed that the fight was over for now.

Pity about whoever's furniture that was, but it probably wasn't relevant. Right?

With everyone relaxing, Vivian took it upon herself to detransform back to normal as she stepped away from her bike for the moment. Much as she would like to go zooming off, she was at least dimly aware of the fact that without everyone else she would have been a smear on the highway somewhere, so she should probably give them some gratitude for the assist.

Before she could say anything though, she found herself approached by Alice. Whoops, turned out that the couch belonged to her after all. Not that Vivian would have done anything different given the situation. "Not a chance," she replied firmly, crossing her arms defiantly. "That couch wasn't coming out in one piece after you let it get possessed by a monster. Besides, I'm sure you're rich enough that replacing that stuff shouldn't be a problem." She wasn't going to give in without a fight.

@Pyromania99

7:38PM Short Distance from Police Bar

Elise quickly dealt the final blow to the electricity monster to Courtney's cheering, letting out a final electronic scream before coming to an end the thousand cuts were delivered. After cheering her teamate on, Justice Goldenrod insisted on the party working on their choreography, which made Emily roll her eyes to the top of her skull. They weren't pre-teens anymore - did they have to be any more ridiculous? The newspeople weren't really something she was interested in dealing with, and were actually far more concerning to her now than they used to be.
Especially now that the internet was more of a thing. "Please, Courtney."

Emily watched Isana leave the group out of the corner of her eye - and Justice Star couldn't blame her. She didn't seem to like any of them except for Alice, and it was entirely possible that if they arranged anything Alice would simply pass on the news.

Emily watched as Alice dismissed the majority of the standing crowd with her magic, which solved most of her concerns. As the voice actor approached to complain to Vivian though and enthusiastic high pitched male voice overwhelmed the remaining magical girls.

"WOW! Incredible! After 20 years, the Justice Hearts have returned, and with a bang! White Heart, why don't you tell us what prompted this reuinion concert? Why are the monsters attacking? What's it like now that you've grown up - and where have you been? How's do you plan to balance this with your careers?" The mid twenties reporter spoke with incredible speed, his body practically vibrating with a youthful vigor that somehow made him resistant to Alice's powers. A microphone was in his hand, which he shoved in front of the women's faces.

The remaining magical girls arrived on the spot as Lily passed out, still somewhat drunk.

Isana Seiger

Sofa shopping

Thankfully, the little incident hadn't happened too far from their apartment so it was an easy enough walk back. Just...one small problem...

"Hey!" A cameraman crew and a reporter were chasing after her, likely wanting to get a nice juicy interview with a former magical girl. Isana merely sighed, shoulders slumping in mild annoyance. "You're Justice Gaia, aren't you? Or would you prefer we call you by your solo name of 'Luminous Vale?" The excitable reporter asked. Isana had to refrain from audibly groaning. She'd like to just send these two flying, but that would cause more problems than they'd help.

"Hmm," Isana frowned, stopping and turning to look back at the reporters. "I'd prefer to get back to my Chinese food, and to convince my roommate to by the most expensive couch she can get her hands on." With that simple statement, she stomped her foot on the ground as the earth began to rumble. "Rampart Castle!"

Several, large spikes of earth erupted in the ground between her and the reporters, spreading a thick wall of stone across the entire street, causing some of the street to suddenly have itself closed off and the reporters to have to jump backwards lest they find themselves stuck on top of the rampart. Isana of course, continued on her way back to her apartment. The rampart would dissolve by itself in a few hours, and it was easy enough to return to the scene of the incident.

The building was empty as it ever was at this time, save for someone joining her on the elevator who was giving her a few odd looks. Easy enough to pass her attire off as Cosplay or something. Once back inside she finally transformed back to her regular appearance - meaning just a plain white t-shirt and her underwear. First things first, she picked up the remains of her Chinese food off the ground, a deep, mournful lamenting sigh leaving her lips.

Well, whatever. Her computer was fine so she went about redressing herself in her usual attire. Cheap, but good looking red suit with a black tie and dress pants. After collecting what she could salvage of the Chinese food into a single carton, she headed back down. For now, she just watched idly from the sidelines again. She'd drag Alice off to the furniture store once the crowd dispersed a bit. For now, she'd enjoy the rest of her Chinese food that she could as she watched the rest of the events unfold.

Sofa Shopping

---

Alice pouted a bit. This woman was a bit purposefully daft sometimes wasn't she? "Come on, Vivian. I'm telling you to buy it. Just help me pick it out. I'll even buy dinner." Alice said as she tightened her grip on the woman's arm. She wasn't letting her get away that easy! Nope. Not trying to get in her pants or anything at all. "You owe me this much after all these years don't you? Isana can be such a grouch, it'd be nice to have someone else look too." She added. Vivian was an enemy long ago, but she was a friend now! Or, suppose to be. Alice sort of wondered why a lot of the Justice Heart girls got kind of bitchy about things as they grew up. The rich girl still loved all of them, despite what they might think of her. "Come on, Vivi--"

That was when the reporter appeared in front of her. So many questions she didn't know quite how to answer... "Oh, umm..." Right, they didn't know who she was for some reason. "Well, I'm not sure? I mean, these all took us by surprise I think... Oh, isn't it not journalistic standard to not divulge too much information when you don't have the full of the story? That's that on the monster issue. Otherwise... Ain't I looking good for a thirty-something? I'd like to the think it's a result of having been in the hearts and minds of fans for the last twenty years! Also, I think our careers are fine. Boy-o, would you mind letting us talk? It's a get together after twenty years and we'd love if you'd show a little delicacy." She tried to infuse a bit of her power into it. Hopefully he'll leave with a few of his answers.

Ugh, the fourth estate. Somebody should just tell them to leave us the hell alone. Back in the good old days, the media's electronic equipment had a nasty habit of overloading or shorting out around Carrie. Not that she'd ever owned up to it. Twenty years down the road, her attitude towards reporters hadn't improved a bit. In fact, it seemed to have gotten worse with age.

"Listen, right now we're confused, scared out of our wits, and generally trying to figure out what the hell is going on. No warning signs whatsoever, and this was too coordinated to be an isolated incident. As to whether it's Dollmaster or something else..." she shrugged. "No clue. Now, let us get back to doing what we do, okay?"

“Ahahaha!” Justice Goldenrod laughed as she placed her hands on her hips as she stared at Star Heart. “There is no Courtney here fellow Heroine of Justice~! And if there were it certainly would not be me, Justice Goldenrod!”

And that’s when she stared at the reporters like a deer in the headlights. Oh jeez... Courtney thought to herself, especially when the matter of careers came up. While the other ladies might be able to get away with vigilante shenanigans, she would have the Commissioner breathing down her neck! Chances were good she’d ask for the gun and badge because of this loose cannon extra-judiciary actions! Right now she needed to play the game of the media safely…

“At this junction in time, I would like to reaffirm what my colleagues have already stated for the record.” Courtney stated, perhaps surprisingly professional and of course not really answering anything. “If you or anyone out there in your broadcasting audience has any possible leads, please report them to uh…” Justice Goldenrod sheepishly grinned at the camera-crew as she began scratching the back of her head.

“Does the web domain W W W dot LIGHTYOURHEARTJUSTICEHEARTS dot Info still exist? No? Maybe? … Well uh contact your local authorities then! Y-yeah. We’ll catch up on it and when we have answers, this question will be addressed once again with the relevant information we have.”

With a nod Courtney continued to speak as she clasped both of her hands together, “But uh, I believe that is all the time for questions we have for tonight. But don’t be afraid to ask for future interviews!”

Finishing that up Justice Goldenrod frantically looked around at her peers and spoke quite loudly, “Oh this isn’t SUPERDUPERIMPORTANT, but kinda important, weird question I know but uh, could someone check out my butt… Got a taaad injured not, not sure if I should worry or not...”

Vivian Everett

Finding themselves assailed by the press, Vivian soon found that she didn't have to do the talking as everyone else leapt in to deal with the reporters in their own unique way. Of course it was all definitely ended as a wall of earth rose up, forcing them to leap back or they'd get tossed like so many bowling pins. "Well I guess that settles that," Vivian remarked as she turned away from the hubbub. Her work here was basically done.

Or at least she tried anyway, giving a tug only to find that Alice had a firm grip on her arm that didn't look like it was going to be released any time soon. Still, Alice had offered to buy dinner. Vivian wasn't the type to turn away a free meal and knowing Alice it would at least be a good restaurant. So she supposed that it was worth the hassle that shopping for furniture would end up being.

"Alright," she conceded with a sigh. "Just don't blame me if it ends up all being tacky." She wasn't exactly a decoration guru.

@Pyromania99

The reporters jumped back from the earth spikes, and after a quick look at eachother came to a singular conclusion: their lives were worth more than the news story. They refocused on the more amicable girls, no one noticing once Isana returned. Those who remained and were willing to talk gave similar stories, the honest one: they had no idea what was going on. Like Vivian, Emily remained quiet. Some of the reporters wanted to stay and ask questions, but for the most part they backed off to a distance as they recorded one of the news girls speaking: "Have they lost their edge? Hiding information? Either way, you heard them, folks. Our heroes, now older, have returned to save the city once again! Be sure to send any reports to the website W W W dot LIGHTYOURHEARTJUSTICEHEARTS dot Info as it is still up!" They seemed a little skeptical, but at least they seemed to be willing to forgive their want of privacy now - they had won a lot of good will with the city in general when they were younger.

Looking over at Goldenrod, Emily frowned at the passed out body of her little sister. "Um, maybe it'll heal C-errr ... Justice Goldenrod? Magical Girl powers and stuff?" That probably wasn't a good answer, and if they went to a hospital it was very possible that their identities would be revealed. "... hey, JUSTICE HEARTS, we have an injured member ... ummm White Heart-" These names were ridiculous. "Is the lair still open for us? Could we talk together in there? Privately?" She hadn't heard Alice already making date plans, but with her own magical abilities she could make the entire group arrive quickly. "And Justice Yellow, please don't destroy their equipment unless they try to follow us." They didn't want the lairs location revealed, that much was certain.

Isana was already transformed, but she'd find her own way. If Alice gave the confirmation, she'd wave her wand and she'd drag Goldenrod back to their prior home base.
