Mami Feat 4

A snap ripped through the air. Mami looked to her left, and saw that one of the strings anchoring Kyoko to the upper balcony had snapped.

Mami didn't shout. Her reflexes kicked in before she could utter a word, swiftly moving towards the railing with one leap, sending out ribbons formed from the magic flowing through her gem and into her body.

The rest of the strings snapped, and the unconscious Kyoko began to teeter backwards, moments away from becoming a stain on the ground below as red as her hair.

A single tendril of ribbon ensnared her before she could fall.

But to Mami's shock, it wasn't her ribbon that saved her friend's life. It was that of Silk Degrees, its own arm having extended and split off into multiple, vibrant ribbons that put hers to shame, each colored a translucent gold that sparkled beneath the lights dotting the apartment complex.

Silk Degrees reeled in Kyoko like a fish and gently threw her into Mami's arms. It regarded Mami once, before quickly vanishing in an aura of golden light and causing Mami to gawk and stare at empty air.
