As she made her way through the sunken warship’s flooded passageways, the Omega Obliterator’s glow bathing her surroundings in vibrant teal hues, Nyxia couldn’t help but think of how similar it was to a video game she and her brother had played several years earlier. However, there was one way in which this current bit of aquatic exploration was very different. Aside from a few instances of mundane sea life, the ship appeared empty, without even a single Miseria presenting itself to meet the brutal end every member of its wretched kind deserved. [color=Aquamarine][i]Where the hell are they?![/i][/color] the Neon Tempest grumbled to herself. [color=Aquamarine][i]There has to be at least [b]one[/b] of those fucking things down here…[/i][/color]

Yet, even as she thought this, a strange sound reached her ears.

[color=Aquamarine][i]What the…? Is that… singing…?[/i][/color] Nyxia wondered incredulously. Indeed, it was extraordinary enough that a magical girl like her could hold her breath for so great a time. [i]No one[/i] should have been capable of of actually [i]singing[/i] in such a place, certainly not a mindless Miseria. [color=Aquamarine][i]Could it be some kinda aquatic magical girl?[/i][/color] the Neon Tempest mused. If so, and if said girl had already killed all the Miseria here, well… Nyxia would ensure they started singing a very different tune…

Moving in the direction of the sound, it soon became apparent that it was no girl. In fact, as Nyxia clearly saw as she rounded a corner, it wasn’t even [i]remotely[/i] human. [color=Aquamarine][i]The FUCK?!![/i][/color] The fact that Roche had stumbled upon the creature at the same time she did barely even registered in the Neon Tempest’s mind. The sheer absurdity of the sight before her left the teal-haired young woman in a state of stunned confusion, one which swiftly turned to annoyed fury. The creature was monstrous, of that there could be no doubt, but it didn’t look like any Miseria she had ever seen. Plus, it had been holding a [i]bar of soap[/i], and even seemed capable of [i]speech.[/i] But even so, Nyxia wasn’t about to just let it escape. [color=Aquamarine][i]GET BACK HERE, YA FUCKIN’ SHIT PILE!!![/i][/color] she mentally roared, chasing after the creature in a burst of motion as it darted out of the ship. She was getting some answers, one way or another…
