"Wouldn't they attract attention; it isn't everyday that some people in medieval armor go around town."
"You say that like it's "normal" for some princessdoctor and some frilly girl and the cutest thing anywhere to just be travelling around!"
Just as Eris finished her sentence, a man dressed like a clown with a large and garish hat on a unicycle, juggling cycled past them. A creature that looked similarly, notably having extra arms and a unicycle for legs followed suit.
Having gotten past her initial surprise, as a magical girl needs to be able to react to new things quickly after all, Lynette took a sip from a juice box she won with Boxer's money before quipping, "By the looks of it, the most out of place thing here is your horse."

As the girls would find out, this new world around them isn't that bad. There are not a lot of troubles or chaoses, no sort of conflict like any of them are used to. Eris found it boring, Trisha fascinating given the fauna and their powers, Lynette was somewhat excited to be in a bright new place after all of the dreary atmosphere, and Vigil was annoyed that he had to be the one to deal with all of the idiots picking fights.
Though Hippocrates was more visible through size, he really did resemble one of the other creatures in the world to the point that it was assumed he was some sort of mutation. Vigil on the other hand, wasn't exactly something very familiar to people. It was to the point that some people thought him of a level beyond any normal creature capable of. Something of myth, something mystical.
Most people ignored it after the girls denied such a thought, citing their unfamiliarity with the country and saying they were not from around here. However, there was one person who wished to pursue the truth behind the sort-of-rabbit and the girls travelling with him. Unfortunately, the person was exactly the sort of person whose attention is best left pointed away.
"Get me... Let's go with Agent's 11 and 12."
"Yes Sir."
The two called agents entered through the sliding metal doors into the comfortable room of the one who had called them there. It was father pleasant, the desk that he was facing away from was elegant and clean, the chairs where they made their way to were comfortable and smooth, the various memorabilia on the walls showed the man with many important people from various times of his life.
He turned his chair, and gave them a stern but still somewhat caring "Hello," and proceeded with the briefing.
"Today our security drones caught a glimpse of this," the beep of a button being pressed is heard and a screen pops out, depicting a still image of Lynette and company, focused on Vigil, "It looks like a normal Faunatura but it does not resemble any of the known species. Comparing it to Faunatura in other countries brings no results except for one thing." There is another beep as the screen changes to another image, this of a crude tablet with a rabbit-like creature carved on it. "The myths say that this is an ancient and Mystical Faunatura. As you can see, it closely resembles our unknown creature travelling with the girls. I want it."
The two agents silently nodded.
===
"How much loooonger?"
"Long enough, according to the nurse Satisfaction City isn't that far so it isn't like we will be here forever."
"Why are you even tired, you are flying the only one who should be tired here is poor Hippocrates, who's been carrying us all day, and Vigil, who's had to deal with all of those other animals, whatever they are called."
"Hey, flying takes hard work too ya know. It isn't like I just go and ride the wind or just do it. It takes work!"
"Riiiight."
It had been like that for a while. As they came closer to the city, the girls began to encounter less people, and as such less of their monsters, which they were slowly learning more about. It was getting tiring and annoying and it almost made them wish for something to happen.
Which of course meant that something did. It wasn't one of those regular, cover it with grass and hope no one notices deals, no, this was a top of the line trap, pre-meditated and set up months in advanced, just in case some girls ever needed to be trapped down some undisclosed distance underground. It was a pit, but no ordinary pit, it had automatic doors that opened downwards, just at the right moment and that even accounted for any sort of flying or floating.
When Trisha and Lynette fell Eris laughed, who wouldn't? One moment they were there, being boring, and then the next they just fell down a pit that came out of nowhere, she was kind of sad that it didn't happen sooner. She was also sad that, just moments later, she felt the full force of an electric shock and fell down right with them.
===
"Get her off of me."
While the descent was full of fear, the landing wasn't that bad, for better or for worse, whoever placed that pit there wanted them alive, not splattered. Lynette and Trisha got up and cared for their respective companions, checking to make sure that nothing was wrong, before an electrified Eris made her way right on top of Vigil. He was not pleased.
"So what was that about?"
"Whatever it was, it was really rude!"
"We seem to be underground because of some trap pit."
"Astute observation," said a muffled voice.
The girls looked around trying to find its source when they noticed a light that was not there before slowly grow. As it grew, they noticed that led to a well lit corridor, hidden by the rock and dirt that currently surrounded them. Before any of them could get a "who/where are you," the voice continued.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go through the tunnel. Or would you prefer to stay where you are, trapped in the pit? I haven't got all day. And don't bother asking any questions either, this is video only. I can see everything you do, and you can hear me, but not the other way around."
Without much of an option, the girls went through the tunnel, into Team Metalics' former underground base. A base that luckily was connected to Satisfaction, but that less luckily had quite the infestation problem...
"So where did you say that those other two went again?"
"After Exalda woke up and got briefed, they decided it would be best if they found their own way back to wherever they came from. I guess they are back at that mansion or something."
