Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Well, it's either invisibility powers, or two of them are actively sharing the same body, ala the Souju sisters. It was mentioned that there are only four of them left, after all.

    /Tsubaki Chouko is the leader of her little group of friends, even if she doesn't much feel like it, most days. Not since Chika died. Not since Fukui left.

    \\Hard won experience and instinct screams at her to dodge. Her wings, delicate and shimmering like those of the butterfly she's named after, hurl her backwards, just in time for that damnable Tachibana to smash a kick into the rooftop, shattering and kicking up shards of concrete. Chouko spins to present the edge of one wing, and flickering shards of crystal lash out in a wave that chews through more concrete in the wake of a teleporter no longer there.

    \\She throws herself backwards off the roof, buying time with a few meter's of height.

    \\On the next rooftop over, a shrieking torrent of paper rips forward, winding and weaving around grasping tendrils studded with rosethorns. They'd made so many jokes about the tentacles, and yet, here she was. Here they were; Suzuki Rei, plant maestro, fighting back to back with her sister, Haru, in the middle of a raging forest of dense, knotted plants and living paper swarms hunting through the air.

    \\They're holding their own against Hamasaki and Tamiko, anyway. In the face of it, water and Tamiko's absurd forcefields might seem to overmatch plants and water... but teamwork answered for a lot, dense oak weathering the pounding of gravity fueled strikes and slicing paper weaving around the iridescent octagons of Tamiko.

    \\A figure blurs into existence as Tachibana tries for a hit on the Suzuki sisters, only to be rebuffed with vinyl tendrils whipping around her katana and forcing her back. The teleporter blurs away again.

    \\Chouko calls one of her scepters to her hand. It snaps up as she rotates through the air, letting her magic blaze forth in prismatic flickers of light that slash towards Tamiko. The girl answers with another iridescent barrier that effortlessly absorbs the deadly bursts.

    \\"Got her," a quiet voice in her mind. A familiar one - Yuko, unlike that odd one relayed to her by Inoue. What did that girl even mean?

    \\"Great," Chouko replies, absorbing a landing on the next roof over with bent knees. Minami, just over there, messy, slate grey hair over her equally drab, grey outfit. A vicious, swiping blow with her scepter is met by a mace. Sparks fly as it becomes a contest of strength, until Minami's eyes flash and Chouko dances aside to avoid the blast of gravity.

    \\A heavy crack, and Minami's head snaps forward sharply. Her neck bends with a horrid, cracking noise, and Chouko's eyes go wide in horror.\\A girl shimmers into view - Yuko, looking equally horrified.

    \\And Minami staggers to the side, legs wobbly, but still working. Head still hanging limply at an unnatural angle.

    \\Chouko bullrushes the girl, bodychecking her. Yuko, sensing her intention, helps, grabbing the disoriented gravity controller.

    \\And they throw her off the roof.

    \\Equal parts horror and triumph surges through Chouko as Minami's body tumbles limply off the edge. She'll be fine, she tells herself.

    \\And then-'

    Where'd you find it?

    Quote firn's update, then clear the formatting on it.

    Probably not. Minami is a Sendai girl, so either some one is going to grab the body and keep it close...or things are going to happen. Regardless, the University group has a bargaining chip now.

    Of course this could escalate things quicker instead of ending them. We can probably get the two groups to sit down and negotiate maybe. Then after that, go find Minami's body and have Rin heal it while we degrief her.
     
    Spaces can also be URL tags, you see, and a URL tag need not actually contain a valid http link.

    (And before anyone asks - I would have revealed it if no one noticed it. I just like abusing BBCode for fun and profit, and it was an entire section that just didn't fit properly in the main text.)

    I HAVE AN ENDLESS BOX OF TRICKS.

    Also the fact that invisitext revealer scripts exist has made me decide to up my game, as it were.

    All we need now is a script to highlight any hyperlinks in a nice, noticeable color, like orange. Then you won't be able to hide links from us in spaces anymore.

    Then what will you use to hide stuff from us?
     
    Yeah, reeeeally going to have to find some appropriate Ominous Latin Choir music soon; I mean, maybe not for stuff like this, but there may be a time when her intervention is going to be on a decidedly less peaceful note. We'll have to see if Sabrina can make vocal synthesizers during the next round of experimentation.


    Also, I have to wonder if one of those girls is calling up the Ishinomaki group, gibbering something like 'She's here now and Mami freaking Tomoe's giving a friendship speech while that girl is cleaning out our seeds and gems and it's like the sky is made out of witches WHY IS THE SKY MADE OUT OF WITCHES' and the only things she's getting back are mental nods followed by 'Yep' 'Yeah' 'Sounds about right' 'Wow, she really can book it, can't she?'

    []Tell Akiko that we're going to have words with them later if they don't come back and explain themselves. If they attack anyone before then, there'll be consequences. Running isn't worth it.
    []Rin, you could help the girl your friends just hurt. It wouldn't even cost you anything. We promise nothing will happen to you.
    []Greet the University group. We're here to help. Like we said, we're here to end the fighting.
    []Introductions, but your friend needs help first, right? We can cleanse while you do whatever needs to be done
    []So...what happened here?

    We could use 'I was waiting for this moment' from the Rebellion OST
