Before Penny could reply to Dana’s question, another girl spoke up, noting how she used to watch Gunslinger Alexis all the time. Dana was happy to hear that, but before she could say anything (indeed, before the other girl had even finished speaking), a grumpy looking bespectacled blonde cut in with several snide remarks. Penny was the first to address them, but Dana wasn’t about to be left out.

“You know it!” she confirmed with a grin after her roommate remarked on her “youthfully optimistic” attitude. “And, like, why wouldn’t I be?! I’m gonna be an Ars Magi! It’s like a dream come true!”

Penny then went on to talk about how similar their favorite shows were to Self Defense Force recruitment videos. And then about the unpleasant mundanities of military life…

“Wow, Penny,” Dana giggled as she elbowed her roommate playfully. “Ya sure do like to take conversations to some pretty awful places! But I know watcha mean,” she added. “And, yeah, I know those shows ain’t real,” she noted a bit more pointedly as she glared at the bespectacled blonde. “But even if somethin’s imaginary, that doesn’t mean it can’t inspire ya!”

At that point, they were joined by a redheaded girl, who soon introduced herself as Cara, Vanna’s new roommate. She also asked why they had arrived so late, at which point Penny had made up a story about heavy turbulence, which Dana supposed wasn’t entirely untrue… She hated to lie to their new friends, but she also remembered Victoria’s stern instructions not to reveal what had transpired during their flight, and so Dana found herself confirming her roommate’s tale.

“Yeah, we were havin’ a meal when it happened,” Dana explained. “One minute, everything was calm and peaceful as can be, and the next, everything went totally crazy! We all got thrown around the room like we were in a pinball machine, or somethin! Oh, and I’m Dana Noel!” she added with a grin after realizing that she’d forgotten to introduce herself. “I’m from Norba, and I’m currently roomin’ with Penny, here. She’s pretty awesome! You guys should have seen her when the turbulence hit!” Dana continued to gush. “She punched this piece of furniture that was about to hit me and broke it clean in half! It was the coolest thing!”

Maybe it wasn’t exactly what had happened, Dana reflected, but it was close enough. And, after all, what Penny had really done was even more awesome by far…

The mouth of Connie’s mask drooped into a frown as Amanda explained that there really wasn’t much they could do about the whole “imminent dimensional collapse” thing, although the bespectacled magician did seem to be making some sort of portal, so perhaps that could be used as a means of escape. Then Connie gasped. “O-Oh my gosh! I-I c-completely f-forgot about her! Y-You m-mean M-Magical D-Dream Princess, r-right?! S-She was w-with us in the m-mansion, a-and she was r-really s-sweet and adorable, b-but s-she d-didn’t come t-through the p-portal w-with us, s-so s-she m-must s-still b-be i-inside!” Connie rambled nervously as the reality of MDP’s situation fully dawned on her. “M-Mia!” she cried, clinging to her friend. “W-We h-have to go b-back and s-save her!”

“Be at peace, little sister,” Gaia told her soothingly. “Despite her peculiarities, if what we have seen of her power is any indication, our childish friend is more than capable of handling herself. So, I take it you are acquainted with her Highness, the Princess of Dreams, as well?” she asked Amanda. “Was your concern for her safety what brought you to this desolate place?”

It made a certain kind of sense that two magical girls of the same rare specialization would know each other, but Gaia still found it interesting that these two particular girls were acquainted, perhaps even friends. They were just so different from each other, with Amanda seeming like something of a quiet bookworm type, and MDP being, well, MDP… Then again, the same was true of her and Connie, and the verdant magical girl couldn’t help but smile at the thought that two such incredibly different people would end up becoming best friends, despite how unlikely it seemed.

MDP watched with childish wonder as Mayra used her magic to rocket over and catch Mariette before the stunned girl could fall to the ground (or into the clutches of an enemy, although MDP was having a hard time differentiating friend from foe at the moment…). Conjuring a pair of pink pompoms, the innocent magical girl began an energetic cheer routine.

“Mayra Wayra~! Mayra Wayra~! Go~! Go~! Goooo~! (giggle!) Yaaay~! Mayra Wayra saved Mariettey Wetty~!” MDP cheered as she cartwheeled over to where Mayra was standing and gave the draconic monster girl a big hug. “Wowie zowie~!” she exclaimed a moment later as something new caught her attention. “Samurai-chan is here too~! (giggle!) But, like, Mariettey Wetty is over heresie, silly willy~! (giggle!)” she added, tilting her head in slight confusion.

Why was the tiny Samurai heading over to apparently do battle with that cute little slime harpy? Wait… Now that she focused more carefully (not the easiest thing for MDP, but she can sometimes manage), the two girls actually looked a bit alike… They were both rather small, and they appeared quite similar in other areas as well… Could the two be related somehow?! Was this going to be some climactic confrontation in some epic family feud?!!

MDP had no idea, but she couldn’t wait to find out!

The day following their arrival at Nova Lux was a whirlwind of events. It seemed like Dana had just climbed out of bed, and, before she even knew it, she was sitting down for dinner in the academy’s cafeteria. Despite all that, she was still in high spirits and full of her characteristic energy.

“I can’t wait to use real magic, it’s going to be awesome!” one of the other cadets was saying.

“You bet it is!” Dana agreed with a happy giggle. “My heart’s racing just imagining it!”

Penny swiftly brought Dana back down to earth with a rather gloomy idea.

“That’s kinda depressing,” Dana observed with a nervous giggle. “But I don’t think it’s anything to worry about,” she hastened to add. “I mean, we went through a buncha prelim tests back home, and I doubt they’d go through all the hassle of bringin’ us here, if there was any chance we’d just have to be sent home again.”

“What do you think you’ll look like after you transform?” Another girl asked.

“Probably just like my normal awesome self, only even more badass,” her friend replied with a confident grin.

“Yeah!” Dana added. “From what I’ve heard, ya don’t really change all that much. Ya just get a super cool outfit, based on your personality and your mental image of your ideal magical self! So, like, I’ll probably look a lot like Beautiful Guardian Gunslinger Alexis! And my Gladius’ll probably be some kinda super cool magitech pistol, or somethin’! Whadya think, Penny?!” she asked her roommate excitedly. “Wouldn’t it be awesome if ya looked like Magical Maid Altea?!”

“Hmmm… I believe it may very well be, little sister,” Gaia noted thoughtfully after Connie said she might have seen Amanda, of all people, arrive with two other figures.

Although the other two had sprung off into battle, the bespectacled magician seemed to be staying put. She also seemed a bit nervous…

A possible reason for that presented itself a moment later, when a twin tailed girl poked her head out of one of the mansion’s windows and shouted a warning that the whole dimension was starting to collapse.

“T-The d-dimension is c-collapsing?!” Connie exclaimed, the masked girl’s terror clearly evident in her voice. “W-What s-should we d-do, Mia?!”

“First, we should make our way beyond the bounds of this Null Field,” Gaia advised. “We can do virtually nothing, while trapped within its confines.”

“O-Okay,” Connie agreed. “A-And, l-like, m-maybe Amanda can h-help…”

As they made their way over to where the lavender-haired girl was standing, the two friends felt their connection to their magic slowly begin to return, a good sign that they were leaving the bounds of Leena’s Null Field.

“H-Hi, Amanda!” Connie called to the bespectacled magician, giving her a hesitant wave and a nervous smile. “D-Do you k-know a-anything about -w-what’s h-happening?! D-Do y-you k-know of a-any w-way to s-stop it?!”




@PlatinumSkink @Ariamis @FamishedPants @BrokenPromise @Card Captor @AtomicNut


“Weeeee~! (giggle!)” MDP cheered as Mayra tossed her up through the hole in the ceiling and onto the mansion’s roof. “Like, super duper thankie wankies, Mayra Wayra~! (giggle!)” she told her new friend, while giving the draconic monster girl a big smile of appreciation.

Taking note of the situation, her eyes widened in excitement.

“Wowie zowie~! There’s, like, soooo many people weple up heresie~! (giggle!) Golly wolly~!” she exclaimed upon catching sight of a particular cat girl. “Like, is that Dina Wina~?! She looks so super duper edgy wedgy and stuff~! (giggle!) So, like, what does Mayra Wayra thinkie winkie we should do nowie~?! Does Mayra Wayra have some kinda winda super duper awsome wosome plany wany thingie wingie~?! Does she~?! Does she~?! Does she~?!” MDP asked with innocent glee. This was all just so exciting! She had no idea what was going to happen next!

Connie’s head was spinning. Before she had even known what was happening, she had been scooped up and carried through a portal. She had also been shot by an enchanted wind blast. This last item had resulted in an excruciatingly painful wound to her shoulder. Indeed, the pain was so intense that the masked girl was barely cognizant of the chaotic events transpiring around her, at least until Ronin appeared at her side and applied some healing magic to her wound.

“T-Thanks, Ronin,” she managed to tell the small samurai in a shaky voice as the pain gradually subsided.

“Connie!” Gaia exclaimed in relief as she rushed over to kneel down beside her friend. “Thank goodness you’re all right! And my sincerest thanks to you as well,” she added, turning to Ronin. “I am truly in your debt.”

Before the small samurai could respond, Leena gave voice to an incantation that manifested an enormous magical nullification field. Although it was somewhat shocking to have the link to their magic severed so abruptly, Ronin seemed to see it as an opportunity. Gaia, however, was far less optimistic.

“I am sorry to say that neither Connie, nor I are particularly capable, when it comes to physical combat,” the verdant magical girl replied to Ronin’s inquiry about their non-magical capabilities. “Since we both rely so heavily on our mystical prowess, I fear we are essentially useless, as long as this nullification field remains in effect.”

If she was being honest, Gaia supposed she could have kept up with Ronin using her rather impressive agility, but, as she’d said, she had little practice with hand to hand combat, and there was no way she would ever leave Connie alone in a situation like this.

At this point, Ronin noticed that Alicia was heading for Mariette, and, not wasting a second, darted off after her.

“I-I r-really w-wish we c-could h-help her…” Connie said as Gaia helped her up, her mask displaying an exceptionally sullen visage.

“There is nothing we can do about it, little sister,” Gaia replied, while gently running her fingers through her friend’s hair. “Besides, after seeing you in such agony, I must admit I am exceedingly reluctant to place you in yet another dangerous situation so soon.”

As if to emphasize that point, they heard Ronin call out in alarm. Turning to face the source of her cry, the two friends were met with the sight of Sakura sprawled on the ground, blood pouring from a nasty wound in her chest.

“M-Miss Sakura!” Connie gasped.

Thankfully, just as Ronin reached the pink-haired girl, the Beacon magical boy from back at the meeting showed up and began mending her wounds. This left Ronin free to continue her mission, and would also hopefully ensure Sakura’s survival. Everywhere Connie looked, everyone seemed to be doing something productive, everyone, except her and Gaia. She desperately wanted to be of use, but she had no idea how. There had to be something she and Gaia could do, but what? It was then that Connie noticed three figures materialize a short distance away, one of whom was a bespectacled girl with lavender hair…

“O-Oh my g-gosh…” Connie whispered in stunned surprise. “I-Is t-that Amanda?!”

(Note- I am working under the assumption that this all takes place before Josefin pokes her head out the window.)

Sooo, Mayra’s fire was being turned into glitter and a whole lot of other things were happening… but in the midst of it all that one pink Magical Girl called out to Mayra, asking if her name was, well, her name. Mayra looked astonished for a second, where the dragon-girl was sitting crouched on the railing, then she laughed.

‘You fought yourself into the mansion to talk to me!? I like your guts! Guys, this one’s mine! Don’t shoot her! We gonna talk~!’

Still, during the time that Mayra shouted this, Tenebra managed to throw a portal open and everyone was leaving, FanFan very specifically trying to pick up the same MDP that Mayra was focused on. Mayra reached out a desperate hand. ‘Wait, don’t go-!’

“Oh, goody woodie~!” MDP cheered upon getting confirmation on the draconic monster girl’s identity. “Magical Dream Princess was super duper hoping that’s who you were~! (giggle!)”

Unfortunately, before MDP could say anything further, FanFan scooped her up and carried her towards a massive rift in the dimensional fabric. However, while FanFan may have certainly believed that she was carrying MDP with her through Tenebra’s rift, if she looked closely at what she was holding, the Ascendancy girl would discover a body pillow with an image of MDP printed on it, a pillow that would wink out of existence the moment Leena activated her Null Field. Meanwhile, MDP herself was still in the foyer, giggling at Mayra’s alarmed reaction to FanFan apparently whisking her away.

“Like, Magical Dream Princess is right here, silly willy~! (giggle!) Don’t worry, she’s not going anywheresie, cause she’s got a super duper important wortant chatty watty she wants to have with you~!”(giggle!)

Mayra blinked as MDP showed that she hadn’t gone anywhere, and Mayra laughed again. ‘You’re a tricky one, ain’t ya?’ she said, and then jumped, making a summersault before landing on the floor of the foyer, bending her knees before MDP. ‘So, what’ya wanna talk about?’ she asked, but her companion (who just used 21 Agi and a non-corporeal body to dodge a seed attack but couldn’t pursue as a result) had a different opinion.

‘… If you’re going to have a chat, do it elsewhere,’ an annoyed Lea who’d just watched her prey get away through a portal told them pretty sternly, and MDP was probably getting not-too-favourable looks from other directions, too, albeit a couple curious ones as well.

‘Right, sure, over here!’ Mayra called, and could lead them to a room two doors east of here that was the common room, which looked like the average break area of an office except placed in a gothic mansion, tables and chairs, couches and a refrigerator, a TV and a few other things that don’t belong in an ancient mansion for the inhabitants to take it easy… if MDP followed there, of course. Relocation was sort-of-important so the rest of the forces could make tactical conversation without a possible enemy there. Mayra was the one of them that was most capable of taking care of herself, anyway.

“Okie dokie~! (giggle!)” MDP acknowledged with a happy smile, as she skipped after Mayra into the common room. “Like, if Magical Dream Princess is being perfectly werfectly honest, she kinda winda wanted to have this conversation wasion in private wivate anywaysie~” Taking a deep breath, and trying her best to remember what she wanted to say (and what she didn’t want to say), MDP began to explain the reason she wanted to have this chat. “So, like, a super duper secret wecret placey wacey that belongs to Magical Dream Princess’s most favorite wavorite person worson in the whole wide worldsie got all trashy washied a few days ago, and Magical Dream Princess was told that you were the meanie weanie responsible wonsible.” Putting her hands on her hips, she glared indignantly at the draconic monster girl. Or, at least she tried to… It probably looked more adorable than anything even remotely intimidating. Then her eyes softened a bit, her gaze now holding a mixture of sadness and confusion, rather than anger. “So, like, she just wants to know why Mayra Wayra did it…” MDP added in a slightly plaintive voice.

Mayra looked around the room a bit as she listened to MDP, looking incredibly not-bothered about what she was hearing. ‘Oh, is this a revenge-story? I’m cool with that. Hey, can we bust up this room for the fun of it and then claim we had an epic battle? Or do you want to actually have an epic battle?’ Mayra started, grinning a little, not necessarily entirely serious.

‘Remind me a bit. What place was this? I don’t remember busting up anything that reminds me of you, heh. Did the place have unicorns? Were they tasty?’

“Battle wattle~?” MDP asked, tilting her head in slight confusion. “Weeeell, Magical Dream Princess guesses we could do something like that later water, but, like, why would Mayra Wayra want to trashy washy this placey wacey~? Oh~! And the placey wacey Mayra Wayra trashy washied didn’t have any unicorns, silly willy~! (giggle!) It looked kinda winda like a city wity, but it was just a fakey wakey one, and there were also some super duper cool robot thingie wingies there, too~! (giggle!) Does Mayra Wayra remember wember any of that~?”

‘Why wouldn’t you!?’ Mayra asked, excitedly. ‘This place that everyone would usually get mad at me if I wrecked. We could totally utterly tear it asunder and have a perfectly viable explanation why! Doesn’t that sound exciting!?’ Mayra said, eyes glimmering almost innocent-looking compared to the brutality she was suggesting. Anyways, then MDP went on to talk about cities and robots, and-

‘OH, YEAH, THAT, THAT WAS AWESOME!!’ Mayra shouted and looked super-excited. ‘You should have seen it! One of the battle robots came overhead like WEEEEEEE, but I dodged aside like WOOOOOO, and then I shot it down like PAM, but then the elites surrounded me like-!’ Mayra called as she waved around her hands letting them play the roles of herself and the robots as they depicted a probably inaccurate version of what had actually happened. ‘Ah, those belonged to your friend. Um. I’m sorry. Uh, well, our information girls found the place and the robots, and I couldn’t contain myself and just HAD to go fight them! IT WAS AWESOME! THEY WERE AWESOME! Can I fight them again!? Will they be upgraded!? Even harder!!?? Ooooh, please!’ Mayra continued, emotions flaring a bit of everywhere.

MDP’s initial look of plaintive confusion began to quickly change into one of overwhelming glee with each new word Mayra spoke, until the childish magical girl was smiling from ear to ear.

“Wowie zowie~! So, like, Mayra Wayra just wanted to play with the droney woneies because she thought it would be fun~?! Not because she hates Magical Dream Princess’s most special wecial person worsen~?! Yaaaay~!” she cheered happily, while clapping her hands and jumping up and down. “That makes Magical Dream Princess sooo happy wappy~! (giggle!) And she’s also super duper happy wappy that Mayra Wayra had so much fun playing with the droney woneies, too~! (giggle!) Does Mayra Wayra wanna know a super duper secret wecret~?! Magical Dream Princess, like, totally helped designy winey those droney woney thingie wingies~! Oh~! And Mayra Wayra can totally wotally play with them again~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess made lots of upgradey wadeies to them, so they’re, like, super duper nasty wasty nowie~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess would just wuv to see how Mayra Wayra handle wandles them~! And, like, Magical Dream Princess even has her own super duper cool droney woney thingie too~! (giggle!)” she added, becoming even more excited, if that were possible. “But it’s, like, a super duper surprisey wisey, so she’s, like, not gonna talky walky about it any moresie~! (giggle!)”

Mayra looked a bit surprised at MDP even suspecting it could have been an act of hatred, though then she got excited again as… ‘YOU designed them? Woah, you’re good!’ And then that she could play with them again… ‘For real? I’m invited? Invited to bust up your stuff!? OH, MAN, THANKS!’

Mayra says so and then very suddenly attempted to possibly kind of harshly hug around MDP which probably was pretty uncomfortable because dragon-scales hard. ‘You’re my bestest friend! Don’t you worry; I’ll bust up your droney woney thingies hard so you can get to upgrade them again!’ Mayra told in sheer joy.

‘Also, you are INCREDIBLY weird to listen to!’ Mayra added with so honest a tone and wide a smile that it probably wasn’t meant as an insult.

Even though the crushing embrace Mayra was giving her would be exceedingly uncomfortable for a normal person, it did nothing to dampen MDP’s spirits. She had made a new friend, and an exceptionally fun one at that! Giggling with glee, she hugged Mayra back just as tightly.

“Like, of coursey worsey you can~! (giggle!)” the cheerful magical girl told Mayra after the draconic monster girl had asked if MDP was sure she would allow her to fight the drones again. “Like, you’re a super duper toughie wuffy, so Magical Dream Princess thinks you’d be the perfect werfect person worsen to testy westy the brand new droney woneies, and she’s, like, sooo super duper excited to see what you think of them~! (giggle!)” Then Mayra told her that she was her new best friend, causing the childish magical girl to squeal with delight. “Wowie zowie~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess is making sooo many wany new friendsie wendsies today~! She really hopes she can remember wember all of their namey waymies…” she added, sounding a bit uncertain, before quickly brightening again. “But, like, Mayra Wayra shouldn’t worry~! There’s, like, no way Magical Dream Princess could forget your namey waymie~! (giggle!)”

She paused a moment when Mayra told her how weird she was to listen too, as if not quite understanding what the monster girl meant. Then she giggled sweetly, as if an idea had suddenly occurred to her.

“Like, super duper thankie wankies~! (giggle!) Magical Dream Princess talky walkies the way she does because she thinks it makes her sound super duper cute and kawaii~! (giggle!) She really, really wuvs that kinda winda stuffy wuffy, but, like, she has to keep it a super duper secret wecret when she’s her normal wormal selfie welfie… That’s why she wuvs being Magical Dream Princess~! (giggle!) When she’s a magical wagical girl, she can act all adorable worable and have so much fun, and nobodywody will ever know that Magical Dream Princess and her super duper boring woring and gloomy woomy normal selfie welfie are really the same person worson~! (giggle!)”

‘Ooooh, man, I can’t wait to bust some more robots…!’ Mayra said, excitedly. Then the part with the name, and Mayra released the hug to point to herself with a wide happy face. ‘Yeah! I’m Mayra McCullough, the Flame Demon of Asengav, dragon turned Magical Girl! Speaking of, I don’t think I got your name? Just “Magical Dream Princess”, hah,’ she then asked, looking to MDP.

‘Huh. Right. Alright, then,’ Mayra simply replied with kind of a happy shrug about how MDP acts. ‘Right, listen, it seems there’s an anti-magic field about, and behind Freya I’m Mariette’s strongest physical girl, so I think they might kinda need me, and I’m not about to turn down being the star of the show. Defending our mistress from crazy vampire and all that. What are you going to do?’ Mayra asked, looking curious.

“Yep yep~!” MDP confirmed when Mayra asked about her name. “Magical Dream Princess is Magical Dream Princess~! (giggle!)” When the subject of what she was planning to do next came up, the cheerful magical girl seemed to get even more excited. “Magical Dream Princess is gonna do what she came here for~! (giggle!) She’s gonna help Samurai-chan save Mariettey Wetty, and the rest of you girls, from some super duper meanie weanie heads~!”

‘Alright, then!’ Guess Mayra just had to show up to the high-tech facility and ask for the magical princess to find her. She could work with that! Okay, and now the girl was going to- ‘Huh?’ Mayra looked a bit confused. But, uh… … …

Possibilities arose in Mayra’s mind. Possibilities of why exactly someone would be joining an attack on Mariette’s mansion to “save” the girls within. Just as a thought occurred to her, a sad uninvited mind-bent thought showed up alongside it that she-

- Nope.

- You know what?

- That’s no fun.

Mayra grabbed MDP’s arm in a tight grip and grinned.

‘Let’s go.’

“Huh~?” MDP wondered with a slightly confused smile.

‘Let’s go save Mariette!’ she called so happily, before pulling on MDP to start running with her already! The less I know, the better~!

“Okie dokie~! (giggle!)”

This was going to be so much fun!

To say that Steph was uncomfortable would have been the understatement of the century. She had never been one for extravagant parties, and this particular banquet was the most overblown thing she had ever attended. In large part this was because she and Sarah weren’t merely treated as honored guests, but rather deities made flesh. It was all extremely unnerving to someone like Steph. While she was certainly no stranger to being lauded for her accomplishments, being elevated to the status of deity was a bit much. Although she very much wanted to protest the guests’ treatment of her, she found she didn’t have the heart to try to convince such a vast crowd of people that all their desperate hopes and cherished beliefs were nothing more than meaningless fairy tales. Thus, she resigned herself to politely thanking each supplicant as they lavished their gifts upon her and trying her best to keep up a pleasant demeanor.

However, while her visage may have been serene, her mind was anything but. She was constantly on the lookout for any sign of Tornel’s all-too-likely machinations. Although she hadn’t discovered anything malicious so far, she couldn’t help but worry that the wizard was plotting something sinister behind their backs, and so she had taken the precaution of employing her nanites to surreptitiously inspect each item of food presented to her. Thankfully, none of it had proven poisoned, but Steph wasn’t about to take any chances. After all, if an attempt on their lives was to be made, the commotion and noise of the banquet would serve as the perfect cover for it.

If there was any saving grace, it was that Sarah seemed to be attracting the lion’s share of attention. This was most likely due to the fact that a depiction of her featured prominently in the vast mural painted upon the ceiling above them. Steph was thankful a rendition of herself was not included in the piece. Even if her absence offered only a slight degree of additional anonymity, she was only too happy to take it.

“Nopey wopey~! (giggle!)” MDP replied cheerfully after Ronin asked if she’d seen the dragon girl before. “Buuuut, a meanie weanie person worsen who looks like that did some really nasty wasty thingie wingies to a super secret wecret placey wacey that belongs to Magical Dream Princess’s most favorite wavorite person worsen in the whole wide worldsie~!”

It was about then that Dina made her appearance and asked to parlay. Connie didn’t really understand much of what was going on, but the tension in the air was palpable. At least to anyone who wasn’t MDP. Connie’s eyes widened as she watched the cheerful girl skip over to Dina and start giving head pats to the dolphin she was holding. A dopey smile began to spread across Connie’s mask as she watched this incongruous scene play out, and she couldn’t help but giggle at the sight.

“O-Oh my gosh,” Connie whispered as a blush colored the cheeks of her mask and a pair of tiny stars seemed to appear in its black eyes. “T-That’s so adorable…!”

A part of her wanted to run over and join MDP in petting the cute dolphin, but her timid nature, combined with the knowledge of how serious the situation truly was, gave her pause.

After the brief negotiations failed to achieve any meaningful results, Dina surprised the Infiltration Team by casting a reinforcement spell on them.

“Oh wowie~! That tickles~! (giggle!)” MDP squealed as she was infused with the spell’s power. “Like, super duper thankie wankies~! (giggle!) Bye bye, for nowie, Dina Wina and Danny Wanny~!” she added as the pair departed. “It was, like, sooo super duper nice to meet you~! (giggle!)”

“You have my deepest thanks for the assistance, your Majesty,” Gaia added with a graceful curtsy. “Your generosity and desire for peace will not soon be forgotten.”

“Y-Yes! T-Thank you!” Connie managed to call out before the cat girl disappeared through a nearby door.

Not wasting a moment longer, Alicia led the team up the stairs, with FanFan (or Eli, as the case may be) taking point. Moving up to the door Dina had left through, the Ascendancy girl summoned her mechanical arms and prepared to barge into the chamber beyond. However, Alicia instructed her to wait, her attention fixated on something below them. A moment later, she gave voice to what, informing them that she had discovered a small room under the stairs, perhaps the location of Mariette’s mysterious “information expert”. Connie was slightly startled when Alicia asked if she could employ a nightmare pulse to flush out anyone who might be inside it, but she quickly composed herself enough to offer a response.

“O-Okay,” she told the Beacon girl shakily. “I-I’ll d-do my b-best!”

Turning to face the room in question, Connie closed her eyes in concentration.

I can do this, she told herself as she slowly breathed in and out, in an attempt to calm her badly frayed nerves. I can do this!

Gathering her power, Connie made sure to focus on just the room and its potential occupants, before sending out a relatively low-powered beam of condensed nightmare magic. She waited a few moments for any reaction, but nothing happened.

“U-Um, I d-don’t t-think it w-worked…” she noted, pointing out the obvious. “S-Sorry…”

“Like, don’t be sad, Connie Wonnie~!” MDP told her, while giving the masked girl a hug. “You did your besty best, so that’s, like, all that matter watters~! (giggle!) And, like, there totally wotally might not have even been anybody wody in there in the first placey wacey~!”

“Or they could have defenses in place to guard against such an attack,” Gaia mused.

She was about to ask Alicia if they should give the room a closer look, when something emerged from the door in front of FanFan and sent the disguised Ascendancy girl flying backwards with considerable force. Immediately after that, a sonic trap activated, the mighty, ear-piercing thunderclap causing Connie, Gaia, and MDP to wince in pain and cover their ears against the cacophonous assault.

“Owie! Owie! Owie!” MDP whined. She knew this was bad, but her pounding head wouldn’t let her focus enough to allow her to conjure her Dream Barrier.

The next instant, the stairs they were standing on turned to ice, which tried to surge over their feet and freeze them in place. Simultaneously, various members of the Infiltration Team were assailed with webs, explosive artifacts, and blasts of pure magical energy, as several magical and monster girls appeared around them. Before she even realized what was happening, Connie screamed in pain, as a shimmering spike of condensed magical wind pierced her shoulder. The wound was not particularly large, and the spike didn’t perforate anything vital, but it was still agonizingly painful. Clutching her bleeding shoulder, the masked girl dropped to her knees, her body shuddering, while black tears streamed down the sides of her mask.

“CONNIE!” Gaia cried in horror at the sight of her friend’s plight. The attack had happened so fast, and she was still recovering from the effects of the sonic trap. Thus she had been completely unable to protect her friend, but she would make up for that now…

“YOU BITCH!” she roared, turning to face the source of Connie’s torment. Focusing her mystic power, the verdant magical girl sent a dense cloud of seeds hurtling towards Lea. Just before reaching her, they exploded into growth, forming a writhing mass of wickedly spiked tendrils. These swiftly enclosed around the monster girl, intending to brutally shred her apart.

Meanwhile, MDP found herself about to be engulfed by a massive blast of fire. She was just fast enough to fire a blast from her wand a moment before the conflagration struck, its rainbow beam causing the flames directly in front of her to transform into a shower of harmless glitter. It was then that MDP saw where the fiery attack had come from.

“Hey~!” MDP cried excitedly, her eyes lighting up at the sight of the draconic monster girl. “Like, is your namey wamey Mayra Wayra~?! ‘Cause, if it is, then Magical Dream Princess wants to have a talky walky with you~!”

Steph raised an eyebrow at Peter’s terrified demeanor.

“Seriously?” she asked Peter with a chuckle. “You’re afraid of heights? Your home town was built on top of a mountain!”

“Y-Yes, that’s true,” Peter conceded. “B-But I never really ventured outside all that often, and I never got close to the c-cliffs…”

“I guess that explains it, then,” she noted, although she still found it amusingly ironic.

Steph’s attention was soon drawn back to Sarah, who was asking about Draygon and his intentions. It was something that had been poking at the back of Steph’s mind as well. Who was this Draygon, and how was he able to create monsters like the harpy she’d fought back at Tinkertown? From what she had been able to gather, the so-called “Wizards” were simply people who had learned how to utilize some facet of old world knowledge or technology. Was this the case for Draygon as well? If so, then he had certainly acquired a knowledge of science far in advance of that displayed by the rest of this depressingly medieval world. However, before Sir Gravy could answer Sarah’s question, or Steph could give voice to one of her own, they were interrupted by the arrival of a youthful squire.

“P-Please pardon the intrusion, Sir Gravy,” the squire stammered, clearly out of breath. “But I come bearing a message from Master Tornel. He has instructed me to request that you…” His voice trailed off as he noticed the two young women present. “O-Oh, good heavens!” he exclaimed, prostrating himself in supplication. “Please forgive your lowly servant, mighty Oracles!” he pleaded. “I did not mean to disturb you with my presence!”

“D-Don’t worry,” Steph told the messenger gently, more than a little taken aback by his reverence towards Sarah and herself. “You didn’t do anything wrong, and there’s really no need for you to be afraid of us,” she added with a reassuring smile, while kneeling down and placing a hand on the squire’s shoulder. “We’re regular people, just like you.”

The young man gasped as he felt Steph touch his shoulder, but calmed slightly upon seeing her kind smile. Now that he looked at her face, she didn’t appear to be any different than a normal person. And yet, she was an Oracle, a divine messenger of the Ancients! How could she be so… humble?

That thought was quickly banished when Sir Gravy spoke up.

“Young squire! You spoke of a message from Master Tornel! Out with it lad! What new task awaits?!”

“M-My apologies, sir! M-Master Tornel wishes for you to escort the Oracles to their chambers and watch over them until the feast tomorrow. I would have informed you sooner, but I was told you would be in the library, and when you weren’t there…”

“Not to fret, young squire!” Sir Gravy reassured him. “Your quest to locate us was successful, and you have imparted the message entrusted to your care. You have done quite well indeed! What pray tell is your name, young squire?”

“S-Squire Toast, sir.”

“Well, then, Squire Toast, I shall be sure to mention your exemplary service when next I speak with both Master Tornel and His Majesty, the King!”

“T-Thank you, sir!”

“Think nothing of it, lad!” the paladin replied with a hearty laugh. “A job well done deserves to be recognized!”

“Wait, you mentioned a feast?” Steph asked.

“Why, yes! Of course! Master Tornel is preparing a grand banquet in your honor! There will be music and entertainers of all kinds! Master Tornel has demanded only the best for our Mighty Oracles!”

“Tornel’s setting this up?” Steph asked dubiously. She tried not to scowl at the mention of the wizard, but after his earlier treatment of Sarah and herself, she found it hard not to regard all his actions as highly suspicious.

“Well, from what little I know of it, Project Prometheus was focused on the manipulation of something called ‘Biogenic Energy’,” Steph explained after Peter had inquired about the project. “That’s the kind of energy harnessed by the sword Minoc gave me,” she added, hoping that might make things a bit clearer. “It also had to do with the creation of beings specifically designed to make use of such energy, like Sarah here.”

After Steph asked about potential methods of rapid transit, Peter frowned. “W-Well… There’s the train we took to get here, but, uh, like I said, it only runs between the Castle and Tinkertown…”

“There are also several winged beasts upon which one can ride,” Sir Gravy added. “Of course, they are not simply handed out to just anyone, but I have no doubt that two Oracles of legend, such as yourselves, would most assuredly be granted them, if requested.”

“You can say that again,” Steph agreed, when Sarah noted the daunting task ahead of them. Then Sarah mentioned going to check out the view from the towers, practically dragging Peter along with her. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to get a look at the local the lay of the land,” Steph reflected with a giggle, as she and Sir Gravy followed after them.
