At once, a number of spheres of orange mana
zoomed over the edge of the roof. Teana had been trying to catch them as they routed, sending them in to further disarray, but apparently her timing was off just enough for the youma to rally.
OK, so I screwed that up. She thought to herself, before the apparent leader presented herself.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Figure of Hourai
Shirouko reacted on instinct when one of the bear-like Youma lunged for her, putting her all into the single useful spell she knew: her punch. Black light streamed off of her fist as she punched, not thinking for a second how utterly stupid it was to shove your hand down something's mouth. As it turned out, this wasn't much of an issue: the Youma was frail from the inside, and before it could bite down a widening hole was blown right through its body, effectively disintegrating half of it in one blow.
She would have to learn some more spells... at least this fight gave her new material to review.

"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Subaru noticed the dark figure who had approached, raising her fist up and away from the destroyed body of a wolf-like youma. So, that was who was leading them... so, they had to defeat her and this army would be down for good?! Subaru nodded. Right! She could do this!
Spotting the orange blasts of magic soaring over the battlefield as she rollerbladed towards the enemy, Subaru looked up. "Tea?"
She hadn't been with Tea at first. If the other girl was here, they should link up and fight together! These youma would be doomed if she could do that!
Of course, this distraction gave time for a bull youma to barrel directly into Subaru. The Mid-Childan Mage raised her hands, surprised, and grabbed the creature's horns. She skidded across the ground, Mach Calibur rattling as she slid backwards from the charge. Gritting her teeth, the blue-haired girl gripped the horns tightly and yanked the monster sideways. With a cry of surprise, the bull youma was tossed to the ground with a loud thud. It was quick to rise, but Saber was already skating towards it, Revolver Knuckle's spinner whirring loudly, preparing for an attack...
She drew back her fist and suddenly drove it directly at the bull youma's head. Revolver Knuckle whirred loudly, and a shockwave burst out of revolving spinner.
"Revolver Shoot!"
As Subaru's gauntleted fist struck the bull in the forehead, a beam of blue mana erupted from Revolver Knuckle, shredding the creature's head apart in an instant.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
Beset by the magical girls, a great deal of Youma found their end that day. Some died by the fists of the physically capable, such as those thrown about like ragdolls due to Ayumu's freakish superhuman strength or those who had their bodies smashed to pieces by Subaru's Mach Calibur. Others were cut into literal pieces by halberd or turned to ash by intense flame. "How much of the things are there?!" The zombie muttered under his breath even as he used street fighting to crush Youmas.
Seeing their numbers steadily drop, the survivors attempted to rally. The horde that had been surprised by the ambush began to regain coherence and went after the individuals with mob mentality. Wolves loped after the fast while bears and bulls stampeded towards the strong. Those that hadn't attacked yet were targeted with the most ferocity, due to the monsters not knowing exactly what they were capable of.
At the very back of the stampede was a gaunt figure that bore the slightest hint of feminine qualites.
◊ Cackling with mad glee, Morga whipped her army into a frenzy, her cavernous eyes glowing a throbbing crimson hue. Attached to her forehead was a gleaming jewel that shined with intense color. Shaped like a seed, its energies intermingled with the Youma's own negative powers to envelop the fiendish thing in a brackish bloodied miasma.
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.
