Looking at the winning plan, it looks like we'll be finding out if Lunar's shapeshifting follows normal conventions by forcing her to return to human form after she's killed. I hope it does, I'd prefer to bring everyone we can back with us.

So, good news: you guys passed the trust check for Red Rose to listen to you.
Bad News: Team GEAR was slightly off on their timing with the flashbangs.

"Red Rose! Kill the snake!" The veteran Magical Girl's face twists into a look of anger, but you refuse to be cowed. "Trust us!"
From her perch on Lunar's right most head, she gazes to where you, Brilliant Key, and Michael huddle in cover. Visibly debating with herself on whether or not she should. You meet her gaze, desperately willing her to accept. To trust you where you had no right for such....
And she does.
It's almost imperceptible when she decides, but the tensing in her legs tells you her decision. It tells everyone her decision. Solar Radiance turns, raising a hand to direct an attack, while Lunar's unoccupied heads collectively lunge as one to her old friend, both intending to stop her however they can. Both of them are too slow.
In a single motion, Red Rose's legs unwind and the force of her jump propels her into the air! A blast of displaced air, and she is in the sky, dozens of feet out of Lunar Radiance's reach! Red Rose shines red, a blood-colored light that seems to subsume everything into itself.
"Avatar..."
Everything changes in an instant.

Red Rose's movement from point A to point B is too fast for you to follow. One heartbeat, she is in the air. The next, she is kneeling on the ground on the far side of Lunar Radiance's snake form. A third heartbeat passes in silence, as if reality was trying to figure out what had just happened.
And then, in a pillar of sudden red light, a roar consumes everything!
Flagstones shatter and turn to dust, loose debris that litter the battlefield, either from the age of the necropolis or the battle itself, are flung around as if dirt upon the wind. The massive snake's skin seems to crack like a pane of glass as you watch, torrents of blackened magic flooding from it, while Solar Radiance's skin does the same, but with blinding light instead.
Team GEAR is reduced to huddling in their respective covers, desperately trying not to get caught in the gale-winds released by Red Rose's attack as Solar and Lunar are sent reeling. But the #10 Magical Girl is not done yet. Not even close.
She stands, spear spinning in hand to a reverse grip. She takes a new stance, arm raised back, and feet spread apart-
"Sudden Death."
-and throws her spear like a javelin.

A red line of light dances around and through Lunar Radiance. Hard angles and incredible speed ends it almost as soon as it began. Massive, ragged, holes are torn through scale and flesh. The heads almost collectively explode.
"LUNAR!"
At Solar's scream, the snake dissipates. It's ruined corpse disintegrating as all those that had been on it fall almost in slow motion to the ground.
...
And in the blood-rain and chaos, you see her: Lunar Radiance, eyes wide in surprise, kneeling amongst the carnage. Lucky had been right! Lunar was alive and the Snake was out of the game. But more than that, Everything that had been in your way no longer was.

All of Team GEAR toss flashbangs!)
As your light hits them, both Lunar and Solar seize up. Solar lands heavily on the ground as Lunar is driven to her knees when her body tries to curl upon itself. Her eyes roll into the back of her head as she chokes on a scream. Then the seal controlling her finally gives up the ghost and disintegrates just as the dozen or so flashbangs the assault team tossed all go off at the same time and your world goes white.
The first thing to return to you, is sound. Even if it's only a sharp, continuous whine of your ears having been over-strained by so many flashbangs going off all at once. After that, the whiteness of the world fades away into a blurry picture as you realize you wound up on the ground at some point immediately following the stunning weapons going off.
"I think you guys threw too many."
You're uncertain if the soft sounds came from you or Brilliant Key, who is pulling herself off the ground beside you. By degrees the world settles its spinning, coming a little more into focus as Team GEAR picks themselves up. A purple figure that you're pretty sure is Red Rose is kneeling beside Solar and Lunar Radiance's insensate forms. Another you think is Insight is being helped to her feet by who you're positive is Aquila.
The most surprising thing though, is how Lucky is helping Sega of all people pull herself out of a slight indentation in the ground. "I come up over the lip of the courtyard, and the world decides to explode in my face... What the fuck did I miss?"
"Well... you missed a Giant Doom Snake and Miniature Sun-Goddess. So not much?" Is Sam's snarking reply. The wizard hasn't even tried getting to his feet yet, instead choosing to sit against the pillar he had been using as cover until the world stops spinning. Thinking about it, it was probably a pretty good idea, so you remain laying where you dropped.
"... I don't want to know. I really don't. But is everyone alright?" A round of affirmatives greet her, with you simply waving an arm through the air. "So, we have two more captures to bring back to the barricade, and on that note, I should probably give an update. They're mostly alright, just got hit by a rather big rush more or less right after we left, so the barriers have a bit of damage. Otherwise they're good. As far as the medics can tell, Silver Hero will be perfectly fine, just out of it for a while... Any other questions?"
Michael has one, followed by Gabriel, but you don't focus on them. Instead, you focus on a more pressing matter. Namely, Red Rose, who is still beside Solar and Lunar, pulling both of their unconscious forms into a shared hug. The look on her face is such that you're pretty sure she's still trying to decide if she's dreaming or not. That the fact she is holding her friends is actually happening.
Solar Radiance and Lunar Radiance had been the first victims of White Soul after she turned upon the Old Guard. As well as the cruelest of her kills. The mad thing that had replaced the once-immortal hero had crippled the lovers, and sewn their still-living forms together, leaving them to die in an agonizing embrace. When their corpses had been found, the news had hounded the story for weeks afterwards, trying to shake any info about their murder loose that they could. But it hadn't been until Silver Hero was publicly murdered by White Soul that everyone knew what had happened.
So the fact she could hold them. Could feel the beating of their hearts... It is a sensation you can not begrudge Red Rose of being uncertain about. "I trust you." Her words shake you from your reverie. "I... Even after Silver... I didn't believe it. Not even Grey is as hard to beat as these two when they're seriously working together, despite being a lower rank. But sitting here... holding them... I..." She turns, and you try not to flinch.
Tears of blood. Red Rose has never cried as far as you know. But here, in front of you, she is. "Even... Even if we can't save Grey... I... I don't know how to repay you for this. Even... just saying thank you feels like an insult!" Red... no. Amanda squeezes her eyes shut. The oldest Magical Girl to ever live. Who has survived the Discovery of Magic. The Third World War. The Unification Crusade. Who has survived Hope. The woman who had lost her childhood more than a decade ago before she could even have it, cries over her friends. "Thank you..." You do the only thing you can think of in response.
You kneel beside her and wrap your arms around her shoulders, pulling her close as she cries.

Solar Seal: 5,000 - 63,500 = -58,500 Health Remaining
Lunar Seal: 5,000 - 63,500 = -58,500 Health Remaining
All of Team GEAR toss flashbangs!)
As your light hits them, both Lunar and Solar seize up. Solar lands heavily on the ground as Lunar is driven to her knees when her body tries to curl upon itself. Her eyes roll into the back of her head as she chokes on a scream. Then the seal controlling her finally gives up the ghost and disintegrates just as the dozen or so flashbangs the assault team tossed all go off at the same time and your world goes white.
The first thing to return to you, is sound. Even if it's only a sharp, continuous whine of your ears having been over-strained by so many flashbangs going off all at once. After that, the whiteness of the world fades away into a blurry picture as you realize you wound up on the ground at some point immediately following the stunning weapons going off.
"I think you guys threw too many."
You're uncertain if the soft sounds came from you or Brilliant Key, who is pulling herself off the ground beside you. By degrees the world settles its spinning, coming a little more into focus as Team GEAR picks themselves up. A purple figure that you're pretty sure is Red Rose is kneeling beside Solar and Lunar Radiance's insensate forms. Another you think is Insight is being helped to her feet by who you're positive is Aquila.
The most surprising thing though, is how Lucky is helping Sega of all people pull herself out of a slight indentation in the ground. "I come up over the lip of the courtyard, and the world decides to explode in my face... What the fuck did I miss?"
"Well... you missed a Giant Doom Snake and Miniature Sun-Goddess. So not much?" Is Sam's snarking reply. The wizard hasn't even tried getting to his feet yet, instead choosing to sit against the pillar he had been using as cover until the world stops spinning. Thinking about it, it was probably a pretty good idea, so you remain laying where you dropped.
"... I don't want to know. I really don't. But is everyone alright?" A round of affirmatives greet her, with you simply waving an arm through the air. "So, we have two more captures to bring back to the barricade, and on that note, I should probably give an update. They're mostly alright, just got hit by a rather big rush more or less right after we left, so the barriers have a bit of damage. Otherwise they're good. As far as the medics can tell, Silver Hero will be perfectly fine, just out of it for a while... Any other questions?"
Michael has one, followed by Gabriel, but you don't focus on them. Instead, you focus on a more pressing matter. Namely, Red Rose, who is still beside Solar and Lunar, pulling both of their unconscious forms into a shared hug. The look on her face is such that you're pretty sure she's still trying to decide if she's dreaming or not. That the fact she is holding her friends is actually happening.
Solar Radiance and Lunar Radiance had been the first victims of White Soul after she turned upon the Old Guard. As well as the cruelest of her kills. The mad thing that had replaced the once-immortal hero had crippled the lovers, and sewn their still-living forms together, leaving them to die in an agonizing embrace. When their corpses had been found, the news had hounded the story for weeks afterwards, trying to shake any info about their murder loose that they could. But it hadn't been until Silver Hero was publicly murdered by White Soul that everyone knew what had happened.
So the fact she could hold them. Could feel the beating of their hearts... It is a sensation you can not begrudge Red Rose of being uncertain about. "I trust you." Her words shake you from your reverie. "I... Even after Silver... I didn't believe it. Not even Grey is as hard to beat as these two when they're seriously working together, despite being a lower rank. But sitting here... holding them... I..." She turns, and you try not to flinch.
Tears of blood. Red Rose has never cried as far as you know. But here, in front of you, she is. "Even... Even if we can't save Grey... I... I don't know how to repay you for this. Even... just saying thank you feels like an insult!" Red... no. Amanda squeezes her eyes shut. The oldest Magical Girl to ever live. Who has survived the Discovery of Magic. The Third World War. The Unification Crusade. Who has survived Hope. The woman who had lost her childhood more than a decade ago before she could even have it, cries over her friends. "Thank you..." You do the only thing you can think of in response.
You kneel beside her and wrap your arms around her shoulders, pulling her close as she cries.

I found where you fucked up. You have extra accordion tags for each set at the start. Delete the extra tags and you should be good.
Code:

It kept putting them back when I did.
Whatever, deleted it all and redid it by quoting the posts then editing them, instead of copying them from the edit window.
I know. Boo.
