Toph winces with that "TWANG", and gets up and walks to the kitchen as Mae gets the bassline going. "What are you doing?"

The armored figure sighs in relief, turning around. "Well, that's..."

And then he sees the fat thing in front of the woman's car.

"Figures." He deadpans, before seeming to perk up as he draws another card. "Well, this is a good opportunity to try the new guy..."

[KAMEN RIDE:] The belt around his waist drones as he inserts the card into the buckle, continuing when he pushes in the sides of it. [ZERO-ONE!]

"PROGRISE!"

While that's happening, the woman starts screaming again as she sees the creature in front of her, desperately slamming her brakes but not slowing down her momentum enough. "Why does this always happen to me!?"

And then her eye is caught by a green light from above, and she looks up. "Huh?"

Then a giant mechanical grasshopper crashes down onto the front end of her car, the impact being enough to completely halt her car's momentum and bend her car so suddenly that it catapults her out, sending the woman flying high into the sky where her cries of distress quickly fade.

Then the grasshopper hops backwards and breaks apart, the pieces quickly going over to hover over the armored figure - who just passed through an odd blue screen, completely remaking his armor into a sleek, pure black design while his motorcycle adapts a black and light green design. As the armored figure skids to a stop, the grasshopper seems to print itself onto him, forming light green armor over the armor already there.

''"RISING HOPPER~!  A jump to the sky turns into a rider kick."

The armored figure leaps over the car and lands in front of the fat creature, pulling out a suitcase. That he unfolds into a sword. What.

"Time for the test run." The armored figure then gets into a battle-ready position, and charges at the creature.

Penny's expression changes to a contemplative look, and it seems like she's about to say something...and then her head suddenly snaps to attention elsewhere, looking to the sky for whatever reason. "Excuse me one moment."

She promptly leaps up, briefly landing on the side of a building before using it to jump off, landing on a rooftop and running much faster than you'd think she would.

As she runs and leaps across rooftops, she looks up to see the unfortunate woman with the red sports car, still screaming as she falls to the rapidly approaching ground. Penny's backpack - because yes, she has one; easy to miss - opens up, allowing several futuristic-looking blades connected by barely visible metal string to float out.

Penny thrusts her arm out, causing the blades to zoom forward, moving past the woman rather quickly. Then she has them go in opposite directions. Of course, as they do so, the string catches the woman and quickly pulls her to Penny, who grabs her with her arms. Like tying a knot!

"Hello!" She cheerfully greets the woman, before turning around on a dime and sprinting back, ending up jumping off the rooftop nearest Umbrella and Pyrrha and landing with a hard thud.

"I'm back!" Penny waves to the two, her blades crossing each other again as they go back inside her backpack. "Sorry for not saying anything, I just heard her screaming from over there and responded as soon as possible. She was also falling from the sky! Rather peculiar...anyway, miss, are you-"

Penny tries to set the woman down in such a way that she can stand up, but the woman just ends up collapsing on the ground with quite possibly the most broken expression on her face.

"Oh!" Penny leans over. "Do you not prefer standing up?"

"No, no, don't mind me, just contemplating where my life went wrong..." The woman mutters in a light voice, ending off with a weak chuckle.

Penny is silent for a moment, letting that sink in. Then she follows up with, "Would you like assistance with that?"

"Sure, why not?" The woman responds, not even looking at Penny once. She seems...kind of out of it, honestly.

"Stupendous!" And then Penny flops down beside the woman, smiling as she lies down on the ground.
