"I'll show you the beauty that your hatred has blinded you to." "Ah... I'm so very sorry!" Her actions had finally processed, she'd almost shot a fellow magical girl! She bowed repeatedly, completely oblivious to the order that Rei had given to the rest of the posse.
"I'm really new here, please forgive me. I wasn't sure what this strange feeling was!" Her apology continues, for far too long almost. Strangely, she felt her fear slowly begin to subside despite the immense feeling almost crushing her heart as she approached.
"It just turned out to be some new friends!"She looked around the group of Dark Magical Girls, the only word she could use to describe them in her head was 'deranged'. But to her, an ally was an ally, if they were going to take out the Miseria, they may as-well work together right? It seemed others had a different opinion on the matter. The roof shook with the power of a category 1 earthquake, not incredible, but enough to almost throw Homura off balance as a giant frog appeared behind her.
Wait. A giant frog?
"What!" Homura's first instinct was that this could've been an attack, had her battle conviction not been wavering, she would've fired straight at the source of the frog. Just moments later, she found herself greeted by another magical girl. How the hell she had
frog magic was well beyond her. So many new faces and new friends to make, Homura was beginning to feel slightly overwhelmed at the unintentional greeting party the dark magical girls had set up.
Then there was Nonsuch, giving Homura unsolicited but indeed helpful advice. She didn't quite want to be watched, let alone by a strange, ugly floating eye creature.
"This is all nice, and everything, really-" Homura stated, confused. Were the magical girls not all working in tandem? Why were they so split like this, surely everyone had the same goal in mind. Surely.
"But I don't understand what's going on." She adds, almost interrupting Shatterscape's rant at the other magical girls, and perhaps at her.
"No- You've got it all wrong! I don't know anyone. I'm new here-"Dread.
Homura's heart sank as Himea attacked, the first to strike if you ignore Homura's blind shot at the well of negative emotions. She looked back and forth and in that moment, she went to ready her bow. But she couldn't. Something was draining her emotions, someone was attempting to stop her from striking back. With so many dark magical girls in the area, it would be pointless to fight back. It was at that moment, Homura chose to make her move.
"If only this meeting could've been under better circumstances..." Homura stated to nobody in particular, all she hoped was that Sayuri had heard her words. Besides Nonsuch, who was far out of earshot, she was the only one that offered Homura some kind of grace among the power-horny band of girls.
If they intended to fight, they could. Elsewhere. Homura had her eyes set upon the mountains, wooded, steep. It was a perfect location for an archer. Whether the other light magical girls chose to follow her or keep some of the dark magical girls back, to prevent them from making chase, was up to them. She leapt from rooftop to rooftop, darted from alley to alley, she attempted to make her pattern difficult to recognise, difficult to follow.
But she knew they would follow eventually.
