As the massive Moonblast descended upon the warped Dusknoir, it let out one last distorted screech before being enveloped in the pale light. A resounding boom went off as the ground trembled from the resulting explosion. Aurora let out a squeal of glee as the ground peppered around her, only to stop as a tidal wave of rancid meat and blackened ichor showered the poor Hatterene. The tall mage stood silently in place. Her face frozen with her trademark smile as her eyes twitched. “... Huh, didn’t expect that to happen”, Lichi remarked, personally glad herself that she kept her distance when the attack went off. “We were supposed to bring that rotten bitch back to jail. But I didn’t think she’d explode like that”, the Lilligant mused, scratching the back of her head anxiously as she felt like Arcadia would chew them out for this big time. Surveying the carnage, the grass type’s face wrinkled with disgust as the bits and pieces of the ghost still wriggled and writhed, as if still filled with life. “C’mon, Aurora, let’s get out of here and hope the higher ups don’t get too pissed off at us”, Lichi grunted, turning her attention back to Aurora, who seemed to be shaking on the spot.
“Aurora? I know getting sprayed with ghost gunk is gross, but we’ll just wash you off back at the town... Aurora?”, Lichi tilted her head to the side. Staring at Aurora for a moment before walking up to her. The Hatterene’s shaking grew more intense as Lichi cautiously circled around Aurora to get a better at her face. But as Lichi came to Aurora’s front side, her pupils dilated. Aurora’s face was frozen in her smile, tears dripping down her face as her spasm grew worse. Her pale skin began to darken, blackened veins stretching and rising to the surface as her once starlit eyes became more ghastly and ominous. A crimson eye replacing Aurora’s right, an eye that Lichi was all too familiar with. Before the leafy rogue could spring into action, Aurora’s hair hand suddenly lifted up, pointing a finger at the side of Aurora’s head. “Ah, ah, ah, one more step and I blow her pretty pink brains all over the ground. And we wouldn’t want that now, would we”, Aurora suddenly cackled, her face caught between a mix of fear and malice. “Now, where were we? Ah, right, something about this being easy? Go ahead, take your best shot~”
