Beyond the Looking Glass: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

I am happy with how the RP's doing right now, but I can make my announcements here as well.

Beyond the Looking Glass: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Lily noticed how Alex continued walking away, and sank down to her seat with a look of confusion.
It looks like he was in a fight. Did something happen? She thought to herself, and bit her lower lip.
I hope it's not because of me. He said it's fine, but...
Her attention snapped back to the rocker twins who agreed with her offer, and she smiled cuter than a hundred chihuahuas combined.
"All right! Thanks a ton!" She answered, and nodded rapidly.
"Yeah, okay! Let's do all those things, and more! Bye-bii~!"

She waved one last time, and off she went, back to Alex' pad. She did not even look back as she hopped and skipped her merry way, happy as can be.
I made friends! Mission success!
When she returned back to the apartment, she saw Alex hanging out in the living room, and came behind the sofa; she loomed over him, her head upside down from his perspective as she smiled at him.
"Hi Alex! Did you see the new friends I made? They're a pair of super-fun music-loving girls!" She threw her hands in the air, which ended up as them throwing them downwards in a silly fashion, before she bounced back up to a standing position.
"And I had so much fun with them today! In fact, school was also fun! So, how was your day?" She asked, less enthusiastic about her question, since she expected the answer to not be positive based on his attitude.

Helga stretched her fingers, letting her claws clink against each other. "Aah! Now that was some good exercise!" She commented, having finished pulverizing the undead horde. She grabbed one of the loose bones from the ground and twirled it on the tip of her claw like a basketball. "But where did these come from? Those other girls didn't do it so, who did?" She put her palm to her chin as she watched Lupa perform some poses, like a living mannequin. "Hey, what's up with you?" She pushed her knuckles against her chest, but there was no response from the amnesiac wolfgirl. "Huh. That's weird. At least she's alive, so let's get going; I'm sure we can fix her. I mean, I got fixed from being a pile of ash, so anything's possible." With that, she took Mika's hand, and began walking her away like a big sister, a goofy smile on her toothy face.

---

"Hello! I'm Sally Shamrock!" She greeted the twins with a smile, though it turned into a pout when she considered their words. She was honestly saddened to hear about the circumstances that led to the twins brainwashing her compatriots. If this was back during old Beacon's reign, she wouldn't have thought twice about eliminating them. However, she genuinely pitied them, and wanted to give them a chance. She first glanced at Aurelio, and nodded at him before she began speaking. "I know it's not much, but I want to apologize on behalf of Beacon for your poor treatment. It hasn't been until recently that we have had a very one-noted policy regarding your kind. And even now, we're still working out some kinks." She then took a step forward with a big smile, seemingly oblivious to the tension. "I would love a sleepover. We could watch a movie, do each other's makeover, have a pillow fight...Anything you'd like. Because that's what friends do."

She clasped her hands together. "Now I understand...You didn't brainwash these girls because you were bad....It's because you were lonely. It might be hard to believe, but there was a time when I didn't have any friends. I was born in a war-torn country, where it was normal to see kids play with assault rifles and grenades like they were any old regular toys. Back then, I thought I was truly alone. But when I joined up with Beacon, I suddenly had a lot of friends. But, I won't pity you; you have made it this far without any help, and that is truly commendable." She curtsied, and then rose up. "I would like to be friends with you. Then you won't be alone anymore. How about it?"
After that, she waited with a smile for what the two would say.

Regina's eyes darted between Aurelio and Sally, changing her focus any time one of them spoke. "You want to be friends now?" Regina lifted a finger to her chin. "Interesting. You seem sincere with your request." She lowered her hand to her side. "but I don't want to just be your friend, I want to be your very best friend."

"Beyond friends!" Elroy bear hugged Sally. "Like, bestest buddies!"

Regina strut towards Sally. "So just let me place myself at the center of your mind, will you?" A black, nebulous energy coated Regina's arm as she moved closer towards the beacon captain.

Aurelio would return Sally's nod and take a step back, tucking his cane under his arm as he did, to let the lucky girl try her hand and a non-violent solution to this scenario, but that wasn't to say he was just going to stand around doing nothing. The moment that everyone's attention was diverted away from him he started to weave together the spare bits of emotion he had in to more substantial ones as well as prepare his Wonder for use.

Yet it seemed like his prep time was gone before he knew it as the mass of magic swirling around Regina’s arm just screamed ominous "Now now," Aurelio would say as he strode forward to match the monster girl "No need for the hocus pocus, it tends to lead to poor friendships" while he was still smiling there was a resigned look to it.

Sally yelped as Elroy caught her in his strong arms, blushing with wide eyes at how close the handsome boy was. A large sweat drop formed on her forehead as Regina came closer, and she gave an awkward giggle. "Oh! Well, I appreciate the courtesy, really do, but you could do without the mindwashing...Uh..." She grit her teeth as Aurelio stepped forward, afraid that he's going to get hurt. "Aurelio!" The Beacon buddies closed around the two, and Sally gulped. "Oh geez...Looks like I got snake eyes on this table." Regina came closer and closer, her arm outstretched towards Sally, about to touch her...

"Kneel."

Suddenly, Regina collapsed, as if her feet had lost all their strength, and her head turned heavy as lead, causing her to fall chest first down to her knees. She saw how the ground around her was also pushed down, and realized it was the work of gravity magic. However, the most frightening part was that the magic was too powerful to only come from a single source; she was simultaneously affected by two separate magical girls, and was completely immobilized, her boobs as heavy as sandbags. At the same moment, an arrow struck Elroy's back, causing him to release Sally from the pain; she used the opportunity to leap high into the air, and out of the ring of Beacon Buddies.

Aurelio looked up, and saw who were their rescuers: a pair of ghostly twins floated at about five to seven meters in elevation, and about ten meters behind Regina. The twins were close together, with one's hand resting on the other's shoulder forming a mana link between the two of them, both of them holding weapons.
"What a sad and pathetic girl, having to surround herself with relations based on lies," the twin in turquoise-blue clothes holding a bow spoke with a confident and charismatic voice as she turned towards the other one wearing violet-red, her eyes like blue twinkles in the night sky. She held a bow in her arms which was pitch black in color, with a golden engraving on the handle. as well as a complex and archaic engraving of a lidless eye that peeked out from beneath her fingers. At first glance, there didn't seem to be a string attached, but a careful eye could spot what, seems to be an almost-invisible bend in space, stretched by two elegant fingers.
"Yes." The other girl spoke much more softly; in fact, it was so soft it could be hardly heard over the Beacon Buddies' screams of surprise and shock.
"Let's unveil their facade, and break this abuse of mental might, Tourner." This one held a pitch black staff, longer than her height and seemingly made of obsidian. It was tipped with three concentric rings, seemingly unconnected to it and yet following its every movement as if joined by unseen force. These rings rotated around one another in a continuous pattern, circling a pitch black orb in their center of it, now glowing with a pulsing aura of violet and turquoise.

Tourner nodded. "You got it, Tuer." She pointed towards Sally and Aurelio."Warriors of Beacon, shall you join us in our fight against these mind-stealers?" Sally blinked, not having expected the situation, but after she glanced at Aurelio, she nodded at him again with a smile. She summoned her Shamrock Shooters, and pulled off a cool cross-armed pose.
"This is sudden, but fine! Now I can save my friends from these needy freaks!" She then focused on Abigail, and shot out a burst of shamrock-shaped bullets at her, running backwards as she did so, aiming to disable rather than kill. While this happened, Tourner already shot another arrow, having aimed it towards Elroy.

Sally's bullets ripped through Abigail's legs, forcing her to fall to her knees. ”Wahhh!? I thought we were friends!” She cried.

Elroy didn't have much luck deflecting arrows with his shield. Not only did they fly at unpredictable angles, but he had just taken a direct hit from Penny's cannon. Shona didn't have nearly enough time to heal all of his wounds. As a result, he wasn't feeling all that mobile, or resilient. "Once you get done turning me into a porcupine, I'm going to curl up into a ball and roll all over you!" Elroy sunk lower to the ground, unable to support himself with his shield.

Shona did her best to protect Elroy from the incoming arrows, but her untreated wounds were visibly slowing her down. There was only so much she could do. ”I believe you meant hedgehog.”

A monstrous Tonya tried to save Regina, but the immense gravity was making it difficult to walk. She would get there, but it would be too late.

Divina picked this exact time to leave the confines of her dimensional home. ”Okay guys so- What did I walk into!?!?!”

All the while, Regina's frail body was at the mercy of crushing gravity. She hugged herself as the gravity slowly forced her shoulders to the ground. "This magic, I remember it..." She grit her teeth. "...The fact that they were in hiding this entire time..." The blood rushing to her head was making her eyes bloodshot. "...Watching, waiting for me to present a moment of weakness..." Blood rolled down the corner of Regina's mouth as she spoke. "...I find it... disgusting..."

Regina and Elroy's aura's immediately fired off, overlapping each other in red light. This caused the beacon buddies to power up. Tonya did not struggle as much with the gravity field, and Abigail even found the strength to stand up despite her wounds. Though what caught everyone's attention was that Regina the monster girl was no longer present. In a puff of red smoke, she had been replaced by Regina the wingless dragon monster. While it was still struggling under the magic that it was being subjected to, it had just enough strength to look up at her would-be assassins. The Regina opened her mouth and filled the sky with black smoke. It looked like a volcano was erupting from the dragons mouth. While the smoke obstructed everyone's view from the sky, anyone caught in the blast would be stricken with crippling pain. Since the ghost twins were the only ones in the sky, and there was nothing to impede Regina's attack, it likely rolled right towards them. Regardless if she hit or not, Regina wasn't under the effects of the gravity anymore. She stood up taller as she continued to fill the air with more and more smoke. This didn't seem to serve much of a purpose at first, but the smoke was so thick it didn't let any light through. In a matter of seconds, everything was shrouded in darkness. No one could see, but the sound of combat was still erupting all around.

"It must suck, not being able to see and stuff." Elroy chuckled.

But Aurelio had another sort of vision that most others didn't possess. He could feel the emotions of those around him. And right now he could feel something exuding pure hatred right behind him. The monster might have been fast, or perhaps in such darkness it was simply able to shadow step behind him. But there was no doubt that this was Regina. She was close, and she was watching him. And then it just vanished. Not just the hatred, but many of the other emotions as well. As time passed, the smog cleared up, and Aurelio could see that the Bates and their squadron of brainwashed Beacon girls were no longer present. It wasn't clear if they had all shifted out of the overcity, entered Divina's interdenominational home, or had simply been vanquished by the mysterious ghost twins. But one thing was certain. A mighty stroke of luck had saved them from certain disaster.

In the chaos of the lucky turn about, there wasn't much that Aurelio could do. He would weave in a few of his own bolts of magic at the Bates, aiming more for Regina then Elroy, but other wise he stayed back and waited. The reason he was waiting was simple, he was expecting a desprate counter attack to be coming and he planned to be ready for it.

When Ragina and Elroy's aura flared, Aurelio knew it was time to act and due to his earlier preperation he was ready. "Showtime!" he called out spinning in cane infront of him in the same moment there was a flash of Blue and Gray as two clones appeared behind him.

Blue took off towards his ghostly allies the moment he saw that they were the target of Regina's attack. A shimering blue wall would spring to life to try and block the caustic smog.

Gray would leap stright at the brainwashed Beacon members, seeking to tag each of them as many times as he could. Each time he did there would be small grinning mask where he touched that would dissapear a moment later. In the confusion the Trickster Tag that was on Abigail would quietly vanish from sight as well.

Before Aurelio could pull of his final trick however the thick smoke screen would steal his sight. That wouldn't matter for long however as the pure hate being directed at him gave him a rather good idea where his target was. turning he would give the monstergirl a dramatic bow. Mid-bow he would snap his fingers and the ground would erupt with twisted yellow chains all seeking to ensnare Regina, but, he was a moment too late as before the chains could acomplish anything, his foes vanished.

The ghost twins were shocked to see Regina's transformation, and attempted to exert even morep ressure with their gravity magic.
"Tuer! Watch out!" Tourner ended up shouting out, and pushed Tuer as the black smoke was blasted in their wake. They ended up releasing the spell and faling back as the viscous haze began spreading in their direction: as ethereal beings, they were more vulnerable to air-based attacks than the average monster girl; since it affects the entire space they occupy. Even Sally had to brace, coughing as the smoke enveloped her. "You dirty cowards!"

The magician would wait, ready and alert till the smog cleared and it was obvious that the battle was over, this time at any rate. Before he would sigh and turn towards Sally "That was a bit close for comfort." Before waving to the ghostly twins and calling out "Thanks for the rescue! You two doing alright?"

Sally sighed, her shoulders low and her ribbon tails drooping down like a sad bunny's. "Yeah. That girl was a bona-fide yandere if I've ever seen one." In response to the likely reaction Aurelio would have had, she quickly added: "A crazy girl, I mean."
The twins looked around, and then floated down to ground level, their feet barely reaching the checkered squares.
"We're doing fine, thanks for asking!" Tourner responded with a cute smile, and floated closer to the dapper young man.
"You have some cool powers, warrior of Beacon. I like the different-colors to your spells."
Tuer kept quiet next to Tourner, simply observing the scene that was happening with a neutral expression.
"Oh, don't mind Tuer; she's a bit shy."
Sally nodded with a big smile, and walked up to the twins. "Hi there! I sure was lucky that you two came to help!" She attempted to take Tourner's hand, but it slipped right through, causing her face to turn blue from shock.
"Whoops, that's not going to happen. We don't do well with physical stuff, know what I'm saying?"
Sally pouted. "Oh, you're ghosts. Isn't that bad? You can't eat ice cream or feel the warmth of the sun..."
"It's fine," Tuer spoke up in a soft voice.
"But now...We..." She quietly mumbled the rest, and Tourner sighed in exasperation.
"What she tried to say is, now that we saved you, we will expect some recompense for it."
"Huh? What?" Sally asked with a blink of her eyes.
"You'll know...In time."

With those final words, Tuer took Tourner's hand. The two then began flying away, leaving Sally to scratch her head. "Huh...Well slap me silly and call me Sal-wait, that doesn't work. Anyway, those two are too mysterious not to be suspicious. We have to be careful around them, even if we owe them one."
And with that, she shifted the two of them back to Penrose. "Let's go grab some ice cream; I'm hungry."

Agreed, both to the ice-cream and the suspiciousness of them," Aurelio would stretch as he relaxed at finally being back in Penrose.
"Still, got a few useful things out of the encounters," He would go on thinking about the motes of Wonder and
Hate he had acquired, as they were some of the more powerful emotions that existed. "Plus I still have my magic tracking Abi so we might be able to launch a rescue op soon." He would explain seriously before shrugging off the seriousness and offering his arm to Sally.
"To ice-cream?"

"Yep! Let's go!" Sally took Aurelio's arm, and walked down the street, feeling like the luckiest girl in town. Little did she know that even then, she was watched...

Sent you a PM.

Beyond the Looking Glass: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

The witches spent no time waiting around for confirmation, and immediately fled, flying far into the sky. The priest looked up with eyes of surprise, and then at Alicia, having lowered himself into a praying position. "The guiding light of humanity...Thank you for enlightening this unworthy soul." He lowered his head to the ground, and then stood up. "O Angel of Mercy, I shall devote myself to spreading the word of Beacon. I will become your prophet, and serve you for as long as I draw breath." He made one last bow, and walked away, still whispering prayers of gratitude.

---

"Oh, don't be silly. I just wanted to show my gratitude. Don't get your hopes up too much." Sally giggled, relieved that despite the chaos and turmoil that just happened, her fellow comrades bounced right back into being their old selves again. She summoned her Beckoner, and asked her to report the results back to HQ, before she turned towards Abigail. "The Bates, huh? Well I am curious..." She muttered to herself, and looked at the clones around him. "Ok, me and Aurelio will come. I want to know what's going on with you girls. Besides, I'm on a winning streak after all, heh~" She took Abigail's hand, and gave one last request to the Beckoner. "I'll be going on a little recon with Abigail's girls. Alright, lead on!"

---

After the ceremony was held at the gym, Lily and the twins headed off to eat at the Pit Stop. Despite her initial fumbling with the two, she found herself having a lot of fun spending time with the two. "So then, he got a bunny rabbit as a pet! OMG, can you believe it? So I told him..." She was gossiping and giggling like a normal schoolgirl, something she had completely forgotten about doing in her previous life, and it was a refreshing experience. But then, she checked out the window, and saw Alex walking by. "Oh, I need to get back home. Um, want to change phone numbers? We could meet up again and do stuff again." Alex then happened to see her, and she waved with an awkward smile.

---

Helga ran over to Mika, and attempted to hug her, only to stop as she realized she looked like a spider. But then, she hugged her anyway, holding the abdomen and two of her eight legs. "Mika! What happened? Are you okay?" She then realized the remaining skeletons approached, and let go. "Hold still. This will only take a moment." As she went to smash the rest of the bony baddies, Lupa slowly stood up, her gaze vacantly watching Mika. "Who...Am I? Where? And...Who are you?" Mika then saw the white marbles shine, as if calling for her to pick them up.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

The moment the fleet dropped their payload of deadly fireworks, Ritsu's voice came on with a scream: "GO GO GO!"
And so, one by one, Framewerks dropped out of NOAH, locked into the Deep Strike pods that descended down from the void of space. The eggs were designed to absorb the intense heat of entering the atmosphere, but even so, the rate of acceleration and inertia of air molecules was too much for mere constructs of metal to handle; the pilots could feel their cockpits turn hot, like a sauna, as the eggs caught on fire. Were it not for great explosions around them, caused by surface-to-air defenses shooting down the mass of explosives that masked their arrival, the Cruxi would have seen them as bright meteors, raining down divine fury.

However, not everything went as planned; some plasma obliterator shots connected to bombs that veered too close to Paladin's pod. Though the pod absorbed the damage, it caused a knockback that sent him veering off course. The pod began spinning vertically, no more optimal in absorbing the impact of hitting the planet's surface. With an earth-splitting crash, Paladin's pod hit the landing zone on it's side, causing Paladin to take the hit straight the Frame's shoulder and hip. When Ariin next came to, the Framewerk was lying sideways, covered by the pod as plasma shots rang around him.

Anaya was the next one to arrive, and used Tayna's Phase Shift to ingenious effect, strengthening the Frame's endurance for the next few seconds, just before impact. She recognized a faint red blip in her sensors, and aimed for that, causing another great quake from the mighty slam. Anaya hardly shook in her seat, the Phase Shift having absorbed the impact force instead of her Frame. She immediately recognized the scattered parts of Cruxi technology that flew into the air around her, having made a crunching sound; she just successfully goomba stomped a Cruxi.

Ariin could immediately tell from the increased difficulty in lifting his Framewerk back up that the planet's gravity was higher than usual; he couldn't help but slouch over at first, his entire body feeling heavier than before. Anaya was mostly unaffected, her metallic body easily able to withstand the effects, but the others also felt it as they climbed out of their Deep Strike pods. "Careful out there!" Ritsu's voice sounded over the comms. "Remember your high-grav training!"

As the Framewerks set up defenses around their landing zone and identified the enemy forces around them, they could tell that the Cruxi had adapted to the atmospheric challenges: there were 6 Cruxi Beasts at the front-lines, just like back in Leviticus, but instead of tentacles they had bulging muscles with orange veins running across them. They resembled gorillas as they dragged their knuckles before them, running at a fearsome speed by using all their limbs to propel themselves forward. There were 10 squads of CWM with three members to each one, some taking cover behind the planet's defensive structures, and others on the move, attempting to flank them. At the far back, there were new Cruxi creatures; a mix of tortoise and turret, they lumbered slowly forwards, carrying giant shells that concealed heavy weaponry such as anti-matter cannons and flux vaporizers. When they reached position, they withdrew their limbs in their shells, and turned their weaponry, bringing them to bear against the squad. "Take out those cannons!" Ritsu screamed in the comms. "But watch your six out there!"

Beyond the Looking Glass: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Sally blinked slowly as she saw Brown Aurelio above her, and clutched at her wound. Her heart beat slower and slower. "No, I just...want to...Close my eyes for a...sec..." She mumbled, her breathing strained. She then shuddered as she felt what he was doing; magical clay seeped into her wound, and completely covered it, resembling a brown collar around her neck. She then felt a bit irritated as the clone influenced her, and her heart began beating at a regular pace. Though it did stop the flow of blood and bought her some time, it was not a permanent solution by any means, and Sally was still at risk. "Y-Yeah, you're right," she answered, and stood up, holding onto Brown Aurelio as tightly as she could, pressing her forehead against his chest. "Aurelio..." she mumbled, and fainted.

Amaryllis' chains burst from Behemoth's gashes, and anchored themselves to Earth Bastion, momentarily halting the abomination. However, she could tell the chains would not last for long, as the beast's very essence was that of Void, and it's wounds were more potent in erasure than it's hide, just as how the main cannon of Earth Bastion rapidly corroded when enveloped by the foul mass. If only the Knight of Rose had been there to impede the beast, then she would have failed, with the beast crushing the rows of cars before it. To her fortune, a great barrier was erected, causing Behemoth to slam right into it; Alexander's reinforced wall proved mightier than the brute strength of a city-destroyer. However, Alexander could feel his magic rapidly drain from the flailing of tentacles and biting teeth that gnawed on the shield, trying to erode the reinforcement away.

Before Alex reached his limit, Katarina made her move; she leaped into the air using Earth Bastion's deck as a springboard, and charged for an attack on a ludicrous scale. Her bow enlarged to resemble the wings of an iron angel, and a gargantuan blade was summoned. Rina felt her body stiffen with the massive exertion, as it tested the very limits of her Metal magic, but she succeeded in materializing it fully, letting gravity direct its wrath. After she launched it, she fell down, her breath hasty and her muscles tired as she hit the deck with wobbly feet and nearly spent mana.



With an earth-shaking crash, Impalement fell down on Behemoth, nearly splitting the monster in two and revealing a shimmering orb of purest emptiness inside; it was the monster's Void Core. The monster lashed out with all of its might, trying to pull it's mass together, tentacles flailing in a whirlwind of frenzy. It overcame Alexander's defenses, causing him to drop down to one knee as his mana was spent, and the barrier shattered. It also managed to cast off the corroded chains despite their intense heat and hardening. However, by that point they have fulfilled their mission, and Penny began charging, her aim fully confirmed thanks to Amaryllis.

A single large eye caught on to what she was doing, but it was already too late for the Greater Horrorling; with a blinding light, Earth Bastion unleashed its full arsenal, bombarding the beast with shell upon shell. Thanks to Katarina exposing the Void Core of the beast, it was shattered, and with one final bellow the beast fell down, it's body slowly disintegrating into the air like ash. Red Aurelio used the massive amount of rage generated by the battle, and was set ablaze as it took in the damage of its surroundings, and quickly disappeared as well, leaving the original Aurelio feeling sick in the stomach as it could feel the intensity of its clone peaking to a height even his magic couldn't control. In the end, only Katarina's monument remained; a testament to the efforts of the valiant fighters who prevented a catastrophe.



The civilians slowly began pouring out of the stadium's insides, and saw the devastation to the stadium that had occurred. A few of them cried, mourning their friends and family, but the sheer majority cried tears of relief and joy. Sally opened her eyes, and realized she was in a locker room of some kind, although with a cracked ceiling and few fallen lockers. She then saw the numerous clones of Aurelio that loomed over her, and she reached up to touch her neck; her wound was healed. "Aurelio...You saved me." She sat up and smiled, a pink blush coloring her cheeks. "I was...Really lucky that you came along. Thank you." She patted the other Aurelio's on the shoulder at first, and then walked over to Brown Aurelio; with a coy look, she kissed the clone on his cheek, giggling a bit. "How's the situation outside?"

---

The flying witch was successfully intimidated by Alicia, having realized it was the only one left out of the coven. With a grumble, it slowly descended down to the ground, and took her broom in her hand. "Fine, I see no point in scuffling with an amateur little girl. Harrumph!" The witch crossed her arms, while the one with the broken broom nodded a lot, smiling widely and showing her rotten teeth. "Yes, yes, anything! You promise to let us go, right? You're an honest girl, of course you will. Come on, Zelda! Let's not tarry long." And with that, the witches began walking towards the cathedral with a half-run, as if afraid they might suddenly get skewered with a light arrow. The priest remained behind the rock, amazed by what happened. "Beacon...Is that your name, o sacred angel?" He asked, peeking his head out.

The Vixen, overcome by her lust for blood, chased after the witches, running on all fours like a beast as she howled and disappeared into the distance. It would take her hours until she gave up on the chase and realize she forgot how to shift, resulting in her being stuck in the Overcity for the time being. With no more dangers remaining at the cathedral, the witches removed the curses, and the frog and skunk returned back to their original forms. And after a moment of rest, Summer brought the group including the girls witches and the religious man back to the real world alongside the pieces of the cathedral; they were scattered around the main building, as if blown by an explosion. "So...Will you let us go now?" The surrendering witch asked, while the other witch grumbled with the broom between the both of their legs, ready to carry the two away.

Helga's grin widened as she recognized the sound of Su's Air magic, and quickly ran over to the hole that Jelena dropped through. She crouched down and gazed down, having decided to not rush in like before, as she was curious about the exchange the enemy side had. "They've decided to quit," she mused to herself, and turned to look out the window to see them leave. "Hah, what a bunch of posers..." She chuckled, but her laughter was cut short; she saw the ice girl she fought before, silently watching the building. Their eyes met, and Helga shrieked as she saw another. "What? Clones!" She then heard Mayra speak to Su, and jumped down the hole. Before she could get a word in, Su assured her that Mayra wasn't hostile, and told them to leave. Though she didn't like ignoring the fiery girl right next to them, she absolutely trusted Su. "You got it!"
The three of them left the building, with Helga still looking around to see if they were still watched, until her attention was brought to the army of skeletons that were swarming around something. "What the heck is this? I can see some fighting over there!" She pointed. Then she gasped. "MIKA!" She dashed as fast as she could, barreling through the skeletons in her way, but she had already transformed.

Having taken a form similar to her opponent, Mika easily circumvented the sticky obstacle. Ronja was shocked by Mika's sudden ferocity, and by instinct cut the thread she was hanging from to drop down into the alley, only to realize her mistake; Mika fell right on top of her, Lupa's jaw wide open as one big spider slammed the other spider, as if in a bizarre wrestling match. Mika sunk her venomous fangs into Ronja, and she shrieked in pain. "Aaahh!!! You copycat! How dare you!" She wailed, and wrapped her hands in dark silk. Empowered by her Reinforcement magic, she made a swinging punch that reached around to her back and struck Mika's abdomen; not only was it strong enough to crack the shell, it also struck her mentally, as if she had incurred headache from consuming too much ice cream. Mika was forced to remove her fangs to reel from the impact, and Ronja turned, blood leaking down her mouth; she had some poison resistance due to also being an arachnid being, but it wasn't enough to deter the venom completely. She coughed, and grit her teeth in horrifying fashion. "I feel numb...That's it. I'll take you down right now!"

Ronja spread her hands before her, and dark magic glowed from her palms; Mika could tell this was her Killing Blow.

"OVERWRITE"

Ronja began by launching an unimaginable amount of web-walls to lock in her target inside the web, with no way out. Many times stronger than her usual webbing, it was impossible to escape from. "I'll delete your memories, your personality...And make you my slave!"
But as fate would have it, just as she was about to finish her attack, Lupa broke through the web, and launched herself on top of Ronja, biting into her neck. "YAAAARGHHH!"
Ronja released the psychic pulse through her hands, and it hit Lupa; psychic magic resembling webbed patterns tangled themselves around her head, and embedded themselves into her skull. Soon enough, small white orbs were drawn out attached to the psychic webbing, representing Lupa's memories, and the beast girl fell down, her eyes wide and unmoving; she was still alive, but seemingly turned into a vegetable with the memory pebbles tangled in a bundle of webbing right next to her head.
Ronja's legs twitched, and curled into herself as she slowly succumbed to the venom.
"D-Damn it...I'm sorry, my children...Mommy...Was not strong enough..." And then, her numerous eyes closed, followed by her changing back to her human form; she was defeated.

“Drums?” Jessica looked to her sister.

Vanessa scratched her chin. ”Radio head uses duel drummers now, right?”

“Have they done anything relevant recently?” What followed Jessica's comment was an awkward silence. Such a quiet wasn't something normal mortals could make. It had to be the work of a powerful curse, either inflicted by a dark magical girl or some heinous patron. “Creep was good! I like that song!” Jessica nervously smiled.

”I guess we'll figure it out later.” Vanessa folded her arms.. ”So you've been in Penrose for a month? I was going to say something about that, but you mentioned joining a band and I guess I got a little carried away. If you wouldn't mind showing us around after school, that would be great.”

Jessica smiled. ”I feel like an isekai protagonist, only without all the cool perks, like a huge group of friends.”

”If I recall, friends are why we were headed to the Gym in the first place. Shall we?” Vanessa pushed open the doors to the Gym and stepped inside. Aside from the basket ball hoops, there wasn't any gear present that anyone could see. However, the sheer size of the gym was definitely what one would expect of a reputable school like this. If one looked at the floor, they might be able to spot the school's logo etched into the gym's surface. But there were so many students present it wasn't clearly visible.

Lily could swear she had messed up with her answer, and the two girls would shun her. Instead, they seemed to ignore her suggestion and move on; though she felt bad about it, it was a better outcome than outright rejection.

"Well, I'll think about it more, so don't worry about it, haha," she answered quickly, and nodded.
"Yeah, I know a lot of cool places where we could go!" She held her hands before her in enthusiastic fists, her breathing a bit heavier as excitement suddenly came over her.
"There's the arcade, and the comic book shop, and game store, and...Uhh...The Pit Stop! It's a trendy restaurant where all the cool kids gather!" She saved her suggestions at the very last seconds, using her previous experience.
"Let's go grab some food there." She smiled, and led them there after they left the school.
