24th Blood | Marble Phantasm your heart!

[makemebreakfast]

[Tonight, all around town, Mayfielders may be treated to an extremely odd sight. Those in town who actually know anything about Magical Girl shows will likely be able to understand what is going on, and will likely think it's totally and completely stupid. To those who don't, however, tonight will be the most confusing night of their lives if

[The toss would, more or less, be like Shyna's reflector ability. This will hurt the drone regardless of attributes and considering the girl's apparent strength, the "test" might end sooner than Clod would like it to.

It seems she'll have to make a shield for her meat shield.

Purple light sparks from the drone and defending him from the returning saw is... a giant boar. It was born one second only to die the next thanks to the buzz saw. The boar disappears into the sparks that it was born from and the saw strikes the drone, but the damage is dampened. The body starts to bleed as a semi-narrow gash is made, but hey, it's just a drone. This magical girl wasn't too bad.]

What is the moon... but a hunk of rock gravitating around the world? [Much more and she knows it, but drama.

Seeing Arcueid come down at her again, the drone yet again creates a similar boar. It charges at the magical girl. If attacked, Phantasmoon should see that there aren't any visible wounds being made. The boar and all other animals brought to life by Clod are pure Silhouette or Mirage. They're parasites that sap away physical or mental energies and in this case, the prior.]

You see, Phantasmoon? You may be blessed by the moon, but it's barren and lifeless. Coursing through my body is the power of life. Your lifeless moon can't compare!

[makemebreakfast]

[She didn't like the look of those spirit animals...or the feel of them, for that matter. She had absolutely no clue what sorts of powers the young girl was using, but at least she was getting into it!]

The Crimson Moon has more power than you could ever imagine, evil child! [Instead of engaging the boar, Arcueid leaps to the air. At the apex of her jump, she releases another flashy display of sparkles, then comes down at the girl and her meat shield as hard as possible. She generates an intense amount of sparkles around her as she falls, almost making her look like a glowing missile flying straight toward the ground.]

[birthclod]

[The drone levitates into the air through Clod's power. Clod attempts to use her Silhouette-based powers through it yet again, but her unwilling medium comes crashing down at the ground under the meteorite called Phantasmoon.

Every bit of damage Arcueid intended to dole out courses through the drone's nerves. This is of little consequence to Clod now that he fulfilled his role.

Sparks fly into the air and form into a purple orb of light now hanging above Phantasmoon. Ropes of electricity surrounds the area around the magical girl, forming into a cage. Another boar appears on one side and the boar that had been conjured just a little while before is on the opposite side, both ready to charge.]

Maybe so, but none if it can possibly save you now. Stampede! Shatter the moon!

[Both boars charge at Arcueid, preparing to consume directly from her body's physical energy.]

[makemebreakfast]

[Man, this kid has talents. Well, it's a good thing she'd gotten her Marble Phantasm back, or else a magic-on-magic fight wouldn't have been possible for her.

She brandishes her wand...and the next thing anyone knew would be that their world is full of sparkles...little crescent-moon shaped sparkles. Like, seriously, it's kind of nuts. So nuts it's blocked any chance of anyone seeing anything.

That is of course until the sparkles begin to pop like tiny, tiny fireworks. When they finally all do it reveals that Arcueid has moved to a rooftop once again. It may seem like she slyly slipped out of her lightning cage...but...if one looks closely you can see the char marks on her.]

Haha! A pathetic trick! [Arcueid pulls her wand hand back behind the opposing side of her body, causing her to rotate to the side.] But you are now finished!

[Once again, she flings her wand in the direction of the child with such force you could swear it would break the sound barrier.]

ARC DRIVE FINISH: FULL MOON! [Yea yelling out attacks is fun okay? Since this is a play fight, though, if that wand actually hits the girl Arc's reality warping will just have it give her a light bonk instead of the rocket force it initially had.]

[birthclod]

[Ah, did she just call out her final move? Well, then, it's time for Clod to be a good villain and face defeat. The speed of her throw is faster than that of the stampeding boars and everything counted on whether it was strong enough to finish off Armageddon. As a "last-ditch effort", Clod's drone is swung in front of wand, but this appears to be a futile effort. The drone is "thrown back" and Clod feigns a look of desperate surprise.]

This can't...

[The wand hits the girl and simultaneously, the conjured boars disappear. Clod's body starts glowing with not an intimidating bright green color like before, but with a soft, faded shade. It appears that she could disappear at any moment.]

But how... How can the End of the World be stopped like this? It's... unthinkable! I won't accept it, I won't! ... Phantasmoon, what's the point in allowing such a deeply corrupted world to continue!?

[makemebreakfast]

[Woah, she didn't expect that to really work or anything. Either way, this girl really knows how to participate in the Magical Girl world. This is exciting! She finally won!]

Hahaha! This world is only as corrupted as you choose to see it! I fight only for love and justice! Those who work against it shall be punished by the Crimson Moon!

[Have another dramatic pose, full of sparkles.]

[birthclod]

I won't accept this, I won't! Phantasmoon, we'll meet again, I swear it...

When the clouds cover Mayfield and the shine of your Crimson Moon dims, that is when Armageddon will begin anew! Hehehee.... Hehehahahahaaaaaahahahahaaaa-

[And Clod snaps her fingers. The green glow around her returns to normal and... everything is as if it never happened.]

End scene.

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid just stares in amazement for a long moment...and then applauds when Clod is finished.]

That was really cool! You're like...the ONLY one that knows what she's doing!

[birthclod]

[Clod takes a bow. She would giggle right now, but she had enough of that from just a little while ago.]

Hehe, right?

And thank you for helping me out with my little test. It doesn't seem like I even hurt you that much.

[makemebreakfast]

Oh, yea, not really.

I'm...uh, glad I could help out a citizen in need!

[Arcueid kind of has no freaking idea what's going on but if the girl was just play-fighting with her that probably means she's not actually a bad guy or anything.]

So uh...how did you do all of that? Are you a magus or something?

[birthclod]

[Good and bad are relative, but oh, does she have experience with giving pre-battle speeches. Granted, though, she was never as dramatic and over-the-top as she was now.

Clod brushes the dust off her clothing and gives Arcueid a shrug.]

That's a good term if you'd like to call me that. Evolved human works. And so does God.

And are you just an ordinary magical girl fighting for justice?

[makemebreakfast]

...God?

People don't usually give themselves that kind of title.
