Mirai grabbed Isa and started running back to the commune immediately.

As he did, Edgar had taken Cari and ran out of there as best he could.
Ama was standing by the commune's entrance with her hand to her mouth, while Parov had placed himself in front of Evangeline.
"Hannah, stop!" He could hear Magna yelling, "Stop that right now!"
"Since when you have you cared what I'm doing!?" Hannah exclaimed.
"Always!" Was Magna's response.
As a shaking Chastity, only kept on her feet by Hannah's grip and the sheer power of every element Hannah had flooding into her, lifted a shaking hand up, moving it towards Hannah's face...
And just as Mirai got there, he could see Chastity's hand glow with all manner of energy; then unleash a blast that knocked Hannah back into the building and Chastity off the platform, into the water.
Magna immediately dove into the sky- transforming back to a human form to get into the maiden's building, while Murasaki wordlessly dived into the water to get Chastity.

"What's going on!?" Mirai asked.
"Hannah snapped, that's what!" Evangeline answered, looking confused by what was going on.

Ama turned around, noticing Isa "O-Oh, hi!"
"No time for that!" Isa told her, "What's going on?"
"I- I don't know!" Ama exclaimed.
Isa looked into the maidens building, then down into the marshwater; where she could still see glowing. "... She shoved a bunch of her elements into Chastity just now. Like, a lot of them.
That doesn't-" She turned to Mirai, "I thought you said she wanted to end this herself?"

Mirai launched his chains into the water, trying to attach them to Chastity and pull her out.

He succeeded-
upon pulling her out, he also pulled out Murasaki, who had jumped in to catch her. Murasaki immediately got to work doing CPR, while Chastity, who's eyes had shifted from a moss green to a jade green, was staring up at the stars as if on another planet.
Isa went to run towards her but stopped at the last minute.
Ama continued to watch in shock while Parov left Evangeline to run towards Chastity and Murasaki as well. "Oh shit, is she okay!?" He asked.

"We need to pull those elements out of her, now!" Mirai said, as he tried to wrap chains around Chastity' body and launch a lock beam to seal up the elements Hannah shoved into her.

Murasaki paused as Mirai started wrapping more chains. "W-what are you d-doing!?" She asked, "I-I need to make sure she's breathing f-first!"
And as the lock beam was launched- a grey wall : invulnerable: appeared right between the two of them, severing the chains and blocking the beam.
Chastity's arm latched out; grabbing onto Murasaki's sleeve-
"-No..." She said, "-...No, stop... I can...
I can almost..." She mumbled, incoherently, as droplets of water started to rise into the air around them. "It's almost there... I can see...
... the universe."
"E-Eh?" Murasaki blinked, more distracted by the water floating around them, "C-Chastity, Chastity, is that your name? C-Can you hear me?"
Chastity moved her hand up- touching Murasaki's hair. Plants were growing around her and little cubes of dirt and crystals were starting to form in the air. "... It hurts, but... that's only n-natural...
I-I can adjust... We all can."
Isa held a hand out- letting out a blast of negation that destroyed the wall and hit Chastity as well; every floating bit of crystal, water, dirt or whatever immediately fell to the ground. "Mirai, now!"

Mirai launched the lock beam again, aiming for Chastity's chest.

And this time, with her negated, it worked, a lock appearing right where Hannah had grabbed her earlier. Chastity didn't move for a moment... then her arm went limp and she closed her eyes.
Murasaki immediately placed a finger at Chastity's neck. "... S-She's still breathing." She said, turning to Mirai. "What d-did you just do?"
"He just sealed the elements, before they could do anything crazy I think." Isa said.

Mirai looked at Chastity before he started looking around for Hannah.

He didn't need to look far, as soon as he looked towards the maiden's building he saw Hannah pulling herself out of it, petals falling out of her hair.
Her eyes were still blue, just slightly lighter---- ----------------------------- She was right in front of Chastity -----------------------------
"..." Hannah stared down at Chastity and at Murasaki, who stood up immediately.
Murasaki put a hand in front of the unconscious woman, stepping in front of her in a protective stance. Hannah looked right past her to Mirai with a firmly resolute expression.
"... Get out of the way." Hannah said.
Murasaki, Mirai, Parov and Isa were all at the far back of the commune, near where Ama and Evangeline were. Wordlessly, Hannah crouched down and put a hand on the lock that had appeared, attempting to rip it off like one would a actual lock.

The lock din't come off that easily.
"Oh, come on!" Mirai yelled, as he started running back to where Hannah and Chastity were.
Evangeline just stood there, blinking a few times.

Hannah glared down at the lock, then at Mirai.
"... I'm finally acting on what I want to do." She said, making no attempts to stop him from approaching. "I've avenged Mariam, so now all I want is to not be forced to deal with the shit that got her killed, that everyone's fighting over anymore.
Just let me do this much at least." She stated it as clearly as possible. Her tone didn't waver and her expression didn't either.
She was radiating sheer willpower, so much that it was possibly overwriting a few other parts of her.

"You just saw what she did when she was using the elements just a few minutes ago, why do you think giving her more power is a good idea!?" Mirai asked her.
