[ Is still in shock over Vivio's transformation, but he's busy keeping a solid grip on Megumi's waist while zooming ahead on the skateboard, balancing fairly well. ]

Miss Megumi, don't move! Vivio, hop on the skateboard~!

I can keep up in the air, don't worry about me.

[ Quickly throws up a barrier in a doorway to slow the pursuers, then flies forward to catch up to the rest of the party, constantly maintaining a bubble around them. After assuring that no immediate threats remain, she turns to Megumi and Bridget. ]

Megumi-sama...

[ Blinks in surprise, barely conscious, and startled at this turn of events ]

Bridget...? [ Glancing around for Vivio, where is she?! And then she notices the girl... ]

Vivio...

[ Amazed at what she's seeing, she looks between Bridget and her ]

Did you both just... rescue me?!

[ Gives another kick against the ground, gripping Megumi's waist with one arm and using his other hand to send his yo-yo flying out to hit the up arrow for he elevator. By the time they reach it, the doors are opening and he lets the skateboard skid to a stop, spinning around so he's facing the closing doors. He's pointedly not smiling or looking at Megumi. ]

Vivio did it!

[ Comes to a stop and lands in the elevator, watching carefully for anyone who may follow. To be safe, she brings a barrier up just in front of the elevator as well, not wanting to risk being stopped. ]

I promised I would not leave without you.

[ Still coming to her senses, the fact that she's not been burned alive surprising her, she raises her head slightly to look at the both of them. Not knowing what to say, she just tightens her arm around Bridget's shoulders, feeling a sense of deja-vu. Her hands are pretty useless right now and she looks up at Vivio, feeling a pang of warmth and pain at her words ]

...

What... what did you do?

[ Her hair is still tied and she winces visibly when she tries to move her hand ]

[ As close as she is, he can feel the wince, and it makes his guilt even stronger. For now, he just keeps his mouth shut, supporting her against him and watching the floor numbers tick by, one foot resting on the skateboard. It's been a year since he last held Megumi, and it's clearly easier for him now. One year older, but he doesn't feel one year smarter. ]

I ran out to you when I saw you about to be burned, and after I reached you...I found myself transformed.

[ She notices Megumi wince, and allows herself to focus on her for only a moment. She brings a hand to one of Megumi's cheeks, stroking as reassuringly as possible. ]

Please...try not to move much. You're injured, we'll make sure to find someone to heal you once we've arrived somewhere safe.

[ The touch is certainly reassuring and accompanied by Bridget's firm hold and their presence alone, she feels so much better. ]

Thank you... the both of... y..

[ It's too soon for her to be moving about anyway, and she finds herself losing balance, her head drooping ]

... Fire..

[ He quickly shifts his hand up to rest against the nape of her neck, and that's when he remembers her hair. Doing his best to support her, Bridget tugs at the ribbon to let her long hair fall free, just as the elevator doors open on the tenth floor. After nodding to Vivio, Bridget kicks the skateboard out into the hall, nudging it along with his foot while scanning the doors. ]

We need to pick an empty one. Vivio, can you tell which one's empty?

[ Removing her hand, she nods, closing her eyes to remember the last time she found herself in that body. She'd watched a similar move used to search the entire ship she had been prisoner on. Mimicking it to search a single floor should be no problem. She closes her eyes and holds out her hands, palms up. ]

Wide-area scan.

[ A small rainbow-colored orb of magical energy rises from each hand, quickly speeding down the hallway, pausing momentarily at each door to examine the contents of the rooms. After a minute of concentration, her eyes open again. She levitates off the ground again, taking off down the hallway. ]

I've found one, follow me.
