Tomodachi WILL update this week! · 4:22pm Dec 5th, 2014
A new chapter of Tomodachi wa Mahoushoujo will be posted either this evening or tomorrow.
The first arc, Magic, will end this month.
By way of apology for all the delays that have held up this story, I'm giving my readers a teaser for the second arc, Loyalty, which will begin in January:
"Are you sure it's in there?"
"Positive."
Three lithe female shadows leapt onto the roof of a museum in Deer Valley. One held out a hand; in a flash of pale amber light, a pair of paper tags appeared. She attached them to the corners of a ventilation grate, then motioned for the others to back away.
Five seconds later, the tags glowed amber and exploded, sending shrapnel in all directions.
"We have three minutes. Go!"
The shadowy figures ran silently for the open duct, diving headlong into the museum's ductwork. Two minutes later, they landed in one of the many rooms of the museum. All around them, crystals and gems and unusual rocks sat within plexiglass cases.
The leader of the burglars pulled a compact LED flashlight from a tool pouch on her belt, shining it around the room. The light fell upon a rough-hewn, fist-sized chunk of quartz, cut in the vague shape of a crescent moon upon a pedestal. "It's there," she said. She motioned for the others to give her room, then pulled back her right hand. An amber glow surrounded her hand, shaped like the talons of a massive bird of prey. Letting out a piercing screech, she punched through the plexiglass and grabbed the crystal. "Let's beat it!"
"Hold it right there!" a man's voice yelled. Three security guards rushed into the room, nightsticks drawn and ready. One of them turned on the lights.
The sudden illumination revealed three women in tight-fitting purple spandex bodysuits with black spandex hoods, black leather boots, and black leather gloves. The tops of their boots and gloves were trimmed with jagged gold piping, reminiscent of lightning bolts. They each wore a pair of amber goggles.
"Take them down!" the leader snapped, charging the guards. The others followed suit. Before the three guards knew what was happening, they had been beaten into the ground. The leader drew a serrated kunai from her belt and slashed the guards' throats. "Let's bail."
Ten straight minutes of running later, the thieves stopped in a dim back alley. "So...was this rock...really worth committing...murder over?" one of the thieves gasped.
"Heheh...oh yeah," the leader said. She stripped off her goggles and peeled off her hood, revealing snow white hair, frosted lavender at the tips of her forward-swept bangs. Her golden eyes glinted as she studied the crescent-shaped quartz crystal.
In the wan moonlight, it began to glow from within, a pale silver shine.
"Girls, pack up. We leave tonight. We're going to Pony City."
I feel like I know that description somehow...
I just can't seem to place it...
Interesting,
From the teaser, the burglars seem to be dressed as Shadowbolts and the leader is Gilda.
If it is Gilda, then I wonder if she and Dash were once friends like in the show and if she will have a vendetta against Spike for what his family did to her clan.
Oh boy! The second arc sounds like it could be interesting!
Awesome! Can't wait to see what she'll bring to the party! I especially want to see how she reacts to Spike!
