"Yep! Oooh, I hear him. This is probably gonna suck a lot before it gets better. But I got this now! You! Inky. Watch my butt, and don't let him out!"

She's actually starting to feel a little... frustrated? She knows the current Nightrider is... being held prisoner, but is this really how everyone behaves without a leader?

She's been wracking her brain this whole time, trying to remember this tail... skull... guy's name but she can't. It's... well, honestly, it's part of what's starting to get to her about this. There's a lot to think about here... she's not going to get anywhere staying idle.

She crouches, looking for all the word like a professional sprinter, ready to break at the sound of a starting gun. Instead of a gunshot, though... it's just her.

"Ohhh~kay! Mari Makinami Illustrious, going in!"

And just like a shot--she's off.

Directly... into the fireworks.

...and then she vanishes.

Seven feet and facing down pyrotechnics or not, the presence of shadows is all she needs to disappear completely. Her aim: behind him.
