Ruby had been totally minding her own business - read, challenging a magical girl to a fight for the fun of it - when her opponent (cute, though taking a little friendly brawl way too seriously) screams and spins her frilly pink staff, sparkles and bubbly stars trailing it in a whirlwind. Ruby tries to counter with her own whirlwind of fire and shadow - this is the first time her opponent (Pretty Bubble Sorceress Anastasia, she thinks - or maybe Alexandria? Surely not Amelia) has pulled out stars, previously it's been deadly normal bubble swirls, but it can't be too much of an escalation -

- Which is when the bubbly stars overwhelm her fire, surrounding her in a tornado of shoujo peppiness. Ruby leaps straight up, trying to burst out -

- And lands somewhere that's totally not where she started, with no sign of her opponent anywhere around her. 

...Where the hell is she?
