When the blue flames struck the immense frog shade in its inflated underside, it did very little in the way of actual damage. It seemed as if the shade's altered body shape provided it a little more resistance against such attacks. But, surprisingly, the attack was enough to slow the massive amphibian-like mass of negative energy's descent.
If Kokoha was going to attack, now would be the time.

"... I see..."
The girl didn't speak for several moments, her gaze returning to the streets. It was as if she was thinking about something, though what was difficult to say. Was it her desire to jump? Was she reconsidering? Or was there something else entirely on her mind, complicating the entire situation even further?
Naturally, without the capacity to read minds, it was impossible to tell.
But there was no denying what followed.
The white-haired girl's gaze returned to Nico. Her expression didn't change, her eyes still looked quite dull and empty, but she stepped away from the edge of the roof as she stretched her right arm out to her side.
"In that case... prepare yourself, magical girl."
The faintest hint of
something coiling around the girl's arm was visible for only a moment.
"Mishaguji-san."
A black light flared across her arm and immediately traveled outwards, coating her entire body and seeming to burn away her clothing. It condensed itself, swirling as it manifested into a white kosode and hakama. The negative feelings emanating from her suddenly grew as her outfit fully formed, practically pouring off of her body in waves. A scale-like pattern had spread across her cheeks and up to her forehead, framing her now-golden eyes.
Thrusting her right hand forward, a yellow light ignited in her palm.
"Curse Essence: Bounty."
A wave of golden shapes, resembling large rice plants, sprouted from her position in an expanding wave, heading right towards Nico!

Even as the attacks were thrown towards it, the orange orb floating above the mantis-like shade's lower half was flaring up, charging another attack, aiming squarely at Ukiko. Even in this state, it seemed as if it was able to detect that one of its potential targets had been weakened by its initial attack.
But when the wisps struck the creature, the orb flashed again, a hairline crack running through its surface even though it appeared to be entirely composed of light and negative energy.
The mighty slash to its back half was the final straw. The shadowy portion of its body seemed to collapse, curling in on itself and spewing orange fluid, as the orb of light cracked and violently shattered.
All that was left, in a few moments, was a dark mist drifting into the air and dissipating into nothingness.

Hisako could only watch for a few moments, in perplexed awe, as Abigail spoke to her dog. She'd never seen anything like it, she'd never known a magical girl that transformed alongside their real-life pet. She'd seen some who summoned a familiar alongside their transformation, but none whose ordinary pet seemingly had their own magical girl transformation.
But she understood the plan well, once the British magical girl told her. Coming at the shade from both sides would make it a lot harder for it to try and escape again!
It was a several tense moments before anything happened.
But then, it appeared. Roughly the size of a large car, it resembled an octopus in some regards. Its main body was a hexagonal shape with points one either end, each face lined with orange lights. At each of its lower corners was a tentacle, each bearing a squared-off tip. Currently, it was using two pairs to stand, the final pair raised in the air, lasing out in the direction of the dog that had been pursuing it.
"There it is!" Hisako immediately raised her broom, at the ready, "Let's finish it off!"
