Description: Ah, Heroes. How they continue to make Marise's life difficult. Here she is, enjoying a casual meal when suddenly.. Out of nowhere.. A Magical Girl? Mignon boldly and selflessly challenges the shadowy woman, saving a young man from a gruesome fate and quickly realizing this monster is no laughing matter. Can the girl stand against the Devil's menace?
"..H..el.." A young voice barely croaks. Distant, glassy brown eyes staring up at the tangle of drying laundry and balconies high above. The narrow, decrepit alleyway reeks of refuse and neglect. Impoverished tenants of the local neighborhood simply dump their trash here forming miniature valleys and small mountains. Sometimes the city comes to clean part of it, usually not. No star or lunar body breaches the Southtown skyline here. The urban sprawl having grown over on itself carelessly, forming a labyrinth where vermin of all sorts thrive.
Most know to avoid this part of downtown. Most know that Southtown is not safe in general, and the dark places are among the worst known to man. Not everyone listens to good advice. Everyone pays the price, sooner or later, should such warnings go unheard.
Take for example this young man. Thinking he was part of a local gang. Thinking he was pretty touch for his age. Thinking nobody would touch him here on his gang's turf. Nobody could be that stupid. Walking home alone, in the dark? What does he got to worry about? He's got a Glock. He's got an attitude. He'll put a cap in anybody who messes with him.
He's got a problem.
The smuggled firearm lays amidst the filth, barely pulled out of his waistband before it was sent careening over uneven pavement. He never saw it coming. There was cold. A sound he thought he heard. A shadow flashing across his eyes..
..And now here he is. A weight pressing down on him, very light yet very strong. His arms pinned to the ground by what feels like silk and looks like living shadows. The darkness covers most of him.. Leaving only his face staring openly up at the sky as the mass of darkness lies upon him. Feeling something at his neck.. wet and painful.. And its getting colder. Slick sounds wetly fill the air, joining a feminine murmur of approval..
God.. Is he dying?
A striking image to see.. Should anyone happen to hear that barely croaked cry for help. But who else is here in this urban maze? Who could possibly hear that? Nobody can save him now..
You'd be surprised just how many stupid and completely unaware people exist. Then you'd be surprised just how often they end up with some degree of power. Sometimes, they do bad, bad things.. and are intent on doing what suits them the best.
And then you get THIS GIRL.
Why is she out in the dark? Because bad people are there and school is out for the moment. Why is she looking out in the alleys? Bad people. Why is she glowing brightly like some kind of freaking firefly? BAUBLES. Why is she EVEN DOING ANY OF THIS!?
Because she is MIGHTY MIGNON, defender of truth, Goodness, and the people that are hurt!
Hey sounds kind of like that guy who is crying out for help.
Which Mignon .. hears, her ears open, paying rapt attention to all around her. Stopping, Mignon holds her glowing pink baubles up, looking around an alley away. "H .. el... He ell... Hell? NO WAY Mignon is NOT going to help you if you say such BAD THINGS!" Mignon scolds air.. before POIK, her attention brings her back. "Hel... P... Hel lp... HELP! Oh.. OH WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL MIGNON YOU NEEDED HELP!?" Mignon freaks out, before running about.
The darkness, and the shadows, will hear a PIKU PIKU PIKU PIKU sound as she hurries closer, into the lair .. current layer.. of bad things.
"HelllOOOO! Mignon is here.. and if you're doing bad things, Mignon will have to stop you! Because Mignon .. can't let you do any bad things! MIGNON SHALL DEFEND HURT PEOPLE AND- ... wow Mignon didn't think he's that hurt.. you must be REALLY BAD STOP IT RIGHT NOW! Mignon will have to hurt you if you don't! She doesn't want to hurt anyone but Mignon isn't going to let bad people get away with bad things!"
The pink baubles on her hands and feet are .. obvious, and glow. "So go away!"
Panicked eyes roll towards the calamity of Mignon's bellowing arrival. Lips working in a silent, repeated plea.
From the shadows just beside those eyes, a sliver of gold comes into existence. A glittering eye, as narrow as the width of a razor, staring at this new arrival with the loathing one reserves for pests.
What miserable luck is this? The Devil goes out of her way to pick a secluded hunting ground far and away from interlopers. Stalks this imbecile for blocks. Just as she's finishing her meal.. An idiot appears out of nowhere, radiating with misbegotten power like the television shows children seem to enjoy these days. Hnnnn. Best dispose of her quickly.
The shadowy mass draws upward in an unhurried movement. The fallen young man makes a sudden choking sound as the shadow releases his neck and arms, immediately planting his hands over his throat and flopping onto his side. From the darkness, glipses of milky pale skin can be seen, faintly reflecting the pink luminescence of the would-be-heroes own power. The ebon kimono gathers about her, falling at her bare heels as a pair of golden eyes focus upon the intruding girl. Small rivulets of crimson stain the corners of her disapproving frown. The apparition's expression, framed in ebon tresses, is supremely displeased. A displeasure she will make known to this fool. Right. Now.
"... Mignon.. Will come to know what 'hurt'.. truly means.." The creature whispers.
Just like that, the shadowy woman is upon her. A hand reaches for the girl.. Across the alleyway. Ten feet away. The limb shoots through the air like a darting snake, nailed fingers spread attempting to coil the limb around the young girl's throat and -YANK- her forward like a lasso.
"Come closer child.."

UH OH! Mignon's in trouble! As the Devil drops the poor guy, and the shadows turn about, Mignon looks on. "OH NO HE'S HURT BAD!" Mignon makes this MENTAL THOUGHT out loud pretty much immediately. Brilliant, isn't it.
ISN'T IT.
But that's bad, the mass just getting closer slowly, slowly.. a .. really neat dress about her! But she's all pale and not healthy. "Mignon .. Mignon thinks you're sick! That's not a good skin-color miss.. maybe if you drank more milk like Mignon you'd be big and strong!" Oh yeah, YOU TELL HER. "And Mignon really thinks hurting people is bad and and you're not stopping Mignon is getting a creeeepy sense here and MIGNON NEEDS HER PERSONAL SPACE!" She backs up some, but finally.. it talks.
... Blinking, Mignon shakes her head. "Oh no no no! Mignon already knows what hurt means because Mignon's got cut, stabbed, punched, kicked, blasted, launched, and slammo'd! Mignon doesn't need to learn what hurt is because Mignon ALREADY KNOWS! YAAAAAAAAAAY!" She cheers for herself, but then the creature reaches out, hand erupting TEN FEET. "Mignondoesn'tlikeSTRETCHYHAAAAAAAAAANDS!" She has time to barely squeak out before her own hands pull upwards, bringing them up and in the way of the lasso. "GAAAAH Mignon likes breathing! Buut.. Mignon also likes .. SPINNING!" She cheers, as she uses the yanking to spin towards Marise. And spinning she do.. does do.. DO DOES! She spins about, revolving, hands and baubles held out and around as she aims to crash straight into Marise. "Weee, Circus wheel spiiiiin!"
Yeeeeup.

The coiling arm is deflected away as the cheering girl thwarts the monster's bizarre attack. Inhuman eyes widen a fraction as the girl reveals some measure of speed and skill.. Far more than her inane chatter would suggest.
Grrnnn.. What is it with children in this age? The more ridiculously stupid they are.. The stronger they seem to become.
The Devil's arm whips to the side, recoiling into the volumes of her dark sleeve as the girl cartwheels and pirouettes towards her at full speed using her own momentum against her.
WHAM.
The girl crashes right against the pale monolith. The chilling ghost budges not an inch. Murderous eyes peering downwards at the muchly shorter girl with all the cheer of a graveyard.
"....Imbecile...."
A sound akin to unsheathing steel fills the air. Thin, violet blades extend from the dark maiden's sleeves. Fingernails growing to the length of short-swords. Blades darting forth as the monster attempts to rake those slashing razors across the girl's middle. Chi disrupting poison coursing through her body moments after should the terrible blow land, "You desire games.. Do you? Shall I show one to you?"

As Marise seems to take blows like a rock wall, Mignon has other plans now instead of running into her! Quite, Mignon really never knows when to give up however, and as Marise slashes into her with such horrible poison as well as the razor like claws drawing blood! Oh it quite hurts, and Mignon really doesn't try to get hit by such things, honest, but all in all, Mignon makes a few mistakes now and again!
And really.. Mignon's a witch .. so the next part should be totally obvious.
"Owwwie ow ow! Mignon DOES NOT think it's nice to call someone an imbecile you know! Mignon was taught to respect people and to respect good things done but Mignon thinks you deserve neither good things nor respect so Mignon.. SHALL NOW USE HER POWERS TO DEFEAT YOU, EVIL!" And oh, Mignon shall.
Chi disrupting poison or not .. it's not like she tries to actually make things happen they just do.
"Mignon has a game to show you too it's called CATCH! FIRRRRE!" POOMPH!
A fireball erupts like some kind of short ranged cannon, a burning ball of chi erupting through the air, spinning straight towards Marise.. so close too! Because Mignon never really got out of the way and she got a booboo.
"Mignon thinks you should be NICER!"

As those slashing claws find their mark, the Devil recoils from the strike. Straightening, she splays her fingers widely, displaying those blood-glistening nails like spindly blossoms as she muses, "Respect?" The creature tastes that word on her lips. Testing it with her tongue as she considers it for all of a moment before dismissing, "Tch. You deserve precisely one thing, child." Taking a single step closer to the bleeding, agonized girl, "Dea-"
The monster's word of judgement pauses as a bright light burns into existence. Her voice hiking as her eyes widen in surprise. The creature tries to throw herself to the side, but the point-blank attack comes far too quickly. The unpredictable girl was all but impossible to read. No techniques or form of school to give her intentions or powers away. The Devil throws her arm before her as the ball of flame collides and washes over her!
A terrible screech keens over the explosion as she stumbles away. Her form smoldering head-to-toe as she glares over the hem of her sleeve. Recoiled and crouching a short distance away. A low hiss escapes unseen lips as the monster's gaze grows sharp and furious. Black-slitted eyes all but glowing .. looking through the girl. Taking in this mystical warrior's measure.. as clearly she's far more powerful than her insipid manner suggests.
What power is this?...

Uh oh.
Mignon made her maaaaad. As the Devil begins to understand Mignon is gifted... and an idiot at times, it may be hard to frighten someone just /so out of touch/. But when Marise screeches and then burns.. as well as tells her about what she deserves, Mignon just plain GASPS.
She gasps. And then she gasps again, putting her hands to her mouth. "M-MIGNON DOESN'T THINK YOU SHOULD SAY THAT! Ow ow Mignon's ears.. ow .. Mignon is a GOOD GIRL and Mignon does not like being told she should go die when she's trying to protect people! Mignon doesn't think any should die and you know you're just being mean now to people who ... wait a second."
Tick. Tick. Tick. BRIIIIING. BRIIIING. Hello Mignon, realities calling.
GASSSSSP. "YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL THAT PERSON AND NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL MIGNON!" Mignon is just UTTERLY UNABLE TO BELIEVE IT. And with that, of course, comes more ... annoyances. What kind, one may ask? Well.. annoyances that are packed in boxes.. with string.
As well as laced with magical energies that are laden with the intent to cause harm .. to protect herself and others.
"Mignon doesn't like it here anymore, GET AWAY FROM MIGNOOOOOON! YOU CAN"T HAVE HER BLOOD YOU VAMPIRE!"
And with that, suddenly, the alleyway suddenly gets a WHOLE LOT WINDIER. Seriously, as papers and everything begin to spin spin spin around, before a funnel is focused out towards Marise. "DIVINE WIND SPIRIT!" And yet another lovable ball off energy, this time, spinning wildly, a windy funnel attempting to grab and spin.. as well knock Marise away ... flies right at Marise!
It's a witch thing.

One begins to see that something is truly unnatural about this ghoulish woman as the wind picks up.. and begins to burn her. The Devil continues to stare through the girl, squinting slightly as the girl's power somehow alludes her immediate understanding. She can see her power but its.. Not a sort the monster is familiar with. Unfortunately for Marise, it seems quite effective.
A low growl escapes her throat as she begins to rise.. Only for small wisps of smoke to rise from her skin. Golden eyes trail to her own hand, watching her own skin begin to burn in small patches as the wind grows greater and greater still.
Incredibly long, shadowy hair billows behind her like a banner. Her kimono waving in the strong breeze as she throws her hands before her, head turning to the side. Plumes of smoke erupt from her as this holy wind seems to scorch her even as it rushes over her!
"Gnn... GRAAAA!"
Finally the creature gives way. Swept off her feet and flung far down the alley. Crashing into a giant pile of refuse even as loose debris rains down around her in the aftermath of the attack.
...Some moments later, the putrid rubble shifts. The filth-coated creature slowly crawls her way from the reeking garbage. Her gaze reveals itself and those eyes burn daggers of pure hatred. The ashen marks on her skin fade slowly.. but perceptively.
Good thing she fed so sooon..
.. What's going on? Mignon has like NO CLUE when Marise begins to BURN when something non-fiery touches her.. oh, yes, not literal, but Marise is clearly in pain and unable to really prevent the assaults.. now that's something Mignon .. actually doesn't pick up COME ON Mignon isn't all that smart. But she does notice when Marise begins to pull that shadowy hair bit, the hair billowing backwards, plumes of smoke erupting this way and that .. and is swept off her feet into the .. trash..?
"HOORAY! Mignon did it.. Mignon TRASHED that meany and now she can save the AHHHH IT'S GETTING BACK UP! Mignon .. doesn't know what to do!"
Well, those eyes have an idea but Mignon prefers to not use the 'die' option as much as she can.. it just helps her to choose other options, you know? It's not like the die option is terrible.. wait, it is. "Mignon thinks .. you .. really need to .. uh .. uh .. MIGNON THINKS .. you should take a shower!" Oh Mignon is just THE BEST, NICEST GIRL EVER isn't she. "And uh .. Mignon thinks you .. need some cookies and to relax and and .. ah .. NYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Mignon cries out, before leaping straight at Marise.
Baubles, glowing pink, first.
Yes she is jumping at the trash because JUSTICE CALLS FOR IT. "MIGNON KITTY CRUSHEEEEER!"
Mignon also notes no kitties are crushed in this crusher

Marise 1/----===/=======|=======\======-\1 Mignon
As the babbling girl screams her battle-cry, The Devil's eyes flash. The monster has been thrashed about by this girl's strange powers.. But enough is enough. No insult or words leave the monster's lips. Only a soft snarl of unleashed frustration as she -darts- forth in a rush of shadowy cloth and silk. Moving with far more speed than her previous methodical movements would suggest - By the time the last word of her announcement leaves her lips, The Devil is already in her face. For a frozen instant in time, the creature's eyes meet the girl's own. The pink fist drawn back as the ghoul maiden's hand is before her.
Time continues. Marise grabs wrist of the thrown punch and whirls about. Twisting the girl's arm around as they both land firmly. Marise now standing behind her.. With her off-hand raised high behind her.
Fingers twitch and flex, spasming in thrall to a terrible force as crimson lightning dances within her claw tips. A horrid sound shrieks into existence.. Sounding like a Hell's own choir as a crackling radiance dances upon Marise's palm. The image of a thousand screaming, overlapping faces blend together into a rippling shape born of pure suffering and malice.
"..Mignon Kitty Crusher indeed.."
The Devil -slams- her palm to the girl's back. In a surreal moment.. a Pillar of screaming Hell explodes out Mignon's front. No hole or gory mess results.. Only an energized rush of agony the youth could not have imagined as the Hell Energy irradiates her through and through. The madness of the screeching power reaches a crescendo, illuminating the whole alley in its potent storming light.. Before burning out.
Yep. Mignon gets destroyed.
But a little closer into this malice that is being destroyed. Simply, Marise grabs her wrist, and then she's behind Mignon. And then Mignon's danced over with electricity and then there's faces and then the palm slams into her as Mignon's just blasted withy terrible agony and screeching power, with so much light that it could like a lighthouse!
Mignon, however, has been fighting this entire time and generally has done nothing but scream. Oh lovely isn't it Mignon's screaming it must just sound great.
And falling to the ground, Mignon doesn't move for a bit! Also just the pinnacle of success, isn't it. Mignon doesn't move because souls were blasted through her.
And then Mignon slowly does get up, crying. "Mignon .. sniff... MIGNON DOESN'T LIKE YOU ANYMOOOOOOOOOOOORE!"
When her hands raise up up up into the air.. and point towards Marise simply, before an odd .. large.. round burning chunk of earth is created. "SO MIGNON'S GOING TO MAKE THE BAD PERSON PAY! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
And that rock, burning and spinning is pointed forwards.. but then down, towards the ground, before Mignon causes the burning rock to detonate across the GROUND. Marise may be there too.

As Mignon collapses to the ground after a lovely bout of screaming, Marise exhales in savored satisfaction. The fingers of her murdering hand twitching as crackles of remaining power dance amidst them before ceasing with a dismissive wave.
"Hmph." Says she, as Marise turns from what must be a corpse back to her meal..
Only to stop in mid-step and twitch as a great cry rises behind her. A deep and furious scowl returns to her face an inch at a time, displaying gleaming fangs as she slowly turns, "..What does it take to kill little girls these d.."
The air itself alights as a gigantic flaming meteor spawns into existence, reflected in the monsters staring eyes. "..Bother.."
Boom.
Bits and pieces of flaming trash sail past Mignon's cheeks as the entire alleyway blazes in a massive explosion! The detonation scours the cobblestone and walls of entire piles of trash, sending burning ash and raining down in all directions. Half-incinerated cans clatter in the distance, even as pieces of scorched newspapers and cereal boxes slowly float down from above.
As the blackened dust settles.. The Devil is there. Brokenly nessled within the impact crater of the meteor. Plumes of smoke rising from her with her limbs akimbo and kimono burned. At a quick glance.. it appears that the nightmare may be over..
..Or perhaps just begun?
In a hellish howl, the Devil -rises- up from the ruin. Leaping high with her clawed hands reaching for either-side of Mignon's face! Her mouth wide, fangs glistening..

Mignon doesn't feel so good.. it's pretty obvious by the look of her tattered clothing that was bright before, her baubles that were all bright and pink, and her cheery personality and happiness which has been dulling through this escapade faster than a knife being flung over and over against the rocks. There's almost as much clanging and beating up of the knife.. it's just that it seems that Mignon is actually punching the rocks back a bit.
But it's just not going to be forever.
But as Mignon looks and sees that Ground-Zero holds a Devil inside.. the peppy girl breathes a sigh of releases.. "Mignon doesn't think she'll be checking back allies again anytime soon .. Mignon'll want to at least get a nice sleepy-time before anything else happens.. But Mignon should go and help that-AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEMIGNONDOESN'TLIKETHIS!" She yells out, as the howl comes from everywhere, and the smoking body seems to have new life breathed into it.. the clawed hands reaching for her face. Oh this could end very /very/ poorly.
And Mignon just closes her eyes, summons her strength, and tries to make all the bad things go away.
"W-WATER UP!"
In a split-second, there's suddenly something against Marise's claws and Mignon, the force of it keeping it from piercing into the girl's personal space. Proving, to a point, if you close your eyes THINGS CAN'T HURT YOU.
"There's nothing there there's nothing there Mignon KNOWS there's" EYES OPEN, "A VERY SCARY LADY GO AWAY!" The water shield POOFS out of existence.. yet at the same time, it ends up sending, or trying to, send Marise with it, erupting outwards. It barely held.. but at this point, Mignon's happy it DID.
The Devil's sudden pounce seems all but inescapable. Only a miracle could save that girl now.. A miracle in the form of water.
The monster -crashes- against that hastily erected shield. Her forward momentum completely killed as she presses the side of her face against it, steaming like skin pressed to an iron. With a surprised shriek, the ghoul stumbles and staggers backwards. Only barely managing to keep upright after that jarring impact as her sneak attack was foiled.
Marise clutches at the side of her face, hissing as she buckles over in shuddering agony. The meteor's impact still leaving terrible burns all over her, generating trailing fingers of ashen mists coiling around her.
Such power.. How could a miserable fool hold such power?! A child.. a talentless, guileless, witless worm!
"..Kill you.. I'LL KILL YOU!" Marise roars! Throwing her arms to her sides as she doubles over from her howl of outrage. Throwing herself at her enemy recklessly, The Devil reaches for her once more. Attempting to coil her snakey arms around the poor girl and -plunge- her fanged maw at the girl's neck like a savage animal! Crushing the life out of her while tearing into her with her wicked teeth!

OWWWWW.
That's kind of painful. As Marise reaches about with her snaky arms and pulls the poor girl forwards, plunging her maw at her neck, Mignon is suddenly bleeding. FROM THE NECK. THIS IS BAD, ALL YOU PEOPLE AT HOME. Mignon doesn't scream because that would be bad, and Mignon doesn't want to actually you know choke to death on her own blood, that would be bad.
So instead, as she's simply barreled over onto the ground and gnawed at.
AHA- MARISE IS A ZOMBIE. But she had already burned it, she should be dead!
AHA! SHE IS A RED-EYE! THE ZOMBIE OF EVER LIVING.
This all doesn't matter to Mignon as she struggles, but finally, gets her hands about Marise as she gnaws. What, exactly, does she get her hands around and why though? Marise's body, in general, and why? Because her hands are radiating much with the energy that Marise has dealt to her before. Marise would perhaps feel this energy before. The energy of ELECTRICITY ZAPPING THROUGH THE AIR! And grabbing hold of Marise. "THUNDERBOLT!"
And if Marise doesn't move like now, she's going to be suddenly spinning .. the other way from her neck, up into the air, and then FWOOSH, perhaps like a rail driver sending her INTO THE AIR.
Perhaps Marise can FLY... because right now Mignon only cares about GETTING UP.

The murderous creature savages into the young girl. Pinning her down as her head jerks this way and that, attempting to tear loose very tender pieces from the poor girl's body. Glaring eyes burning yellow, limbs coiling tighter and tighter as if trying to wrench the life from this insolent young thing for -daring- to get in her way!
So heedless is she, that she hardly notices the danger as lightning dances along Mignon's struggling hands. For an instant, her whole body -jerks- from the injection of raw energy through her! Gouts of flame burst up from her skin in a half-dozen places as the chi-borne energy ravages her unholy frame completely! The power sends the woman into spasms as she's -shoved- up and away high into the air in a whirling arc. The shadowy figure briefly outlined in crackling electricity before disappearing completely into the distance. A distant crash and tumble is heard far and away...
... But of the creature, there is no more sign. Her figure disappearing into the shadows.. As much fury as it brings her, Marise knows she has met her match. As incredible as it is to believe that this complete fool could fight her to a standstill.. She knows when she's been defeated.

As Marise is launches away.. Mignon lays back, bloody, battered, tired.. just out of fight.
"Mignon .. really wants to help you .. Mister..." She says to the guy who is bleeding from the neck.. But Mignon has a problem. "But .. Mignon's .. the same way...." Owwwwwwwwww. Cupping her neck, Mignon staggers upwards, nearly falling over, before staggering forwards even more.. almost falling over more than once.
Her run in with Marise made it so Mignon .. maybe she'll pick her chances a bit better another time.. or maybe she'll bring some help incase things go the wrong way, which today was a good example of what happens when things go wrong.
Mignon .. oh she'll make it to a hospital. That'll do.
But they woooon't believe her tale about the vampire.. just perhaps that she's lucky that the guy with the knife clearly didn't stab her through the neck cleanly.
But Mignon swore she fought a vampire and barely escapes by the skin of her teeth.
Wait, that's icky.
But Maybe Ninon is in trouble!? .. Mignon cannot be sure.. wait didn't they fight a ninja before ... WAS THAT A DREAM!?
Mignon's having blood loss hallucinations, really, it's all good. When she makes it to the hospital, that is.
