Before Whitey were to be devoured by the Rat Queen, Rita unleashed dozens of Shadow Bullets, barely managing to rescue her pet by a hair!
"[Shadow Bullets]!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
All the bullets miraculously landed on the Rat Queen's arms, filling them with holes and making her drop Whitey before she could eat him! Happy to see his master, Whitey jumped over Rita's shoulders and started licking her face.
"Kyuu! Kyuuu!" Whitey was very happy.
"Whitey! I was so worried- Ah." Rita quickly realized this wasn't going to get better.
After Rita managed to rescue her little White Rat, Whitey, she quickly was surrounded by hundreds of Small Rat Monsters that directly obeyed the Giant Rats she had fought and killed before, including their Giant Rat Queen, sitting over her throne of bones, who had intended to devour the adorable little white mouse.
"GRYYAAAAAAHHHH! GRYKAAAA!" The Rat Queen pointed at Rita with her tail, as dozens of Giant Rats and millions of Tiny Rats all glanced at her with fury!
To make things worse, there were even bigger Giant Rats wearing armor and holding weapons, Giant Rat Warriors. Rita quickly found herself surrounded! The Giant Rat Warriors slowly started to get closer, pointing their sharp spears and swords at Rita.
"Hu… man! KILL!!!" The Rat Queen ordered in human language. This only made things even creepier for Rita and her little mouse.
"Fuck…" Rita muttered.
"KRIEEEEE!"
"RAAAAH!"
"SHAAAAH!!!"
The Giant Rat Warriors charged forward while hundreds of Tiny Rats attempted to distract Rita, aiming at her legs! Rita panicked, quickly pointing her shield at her foes.
"[Magic Shield]!"
FLAAAASSSHHHH!!!
By imbuing the power of Whitey's Holy Light and her own Shadow and Darkness Magic, her shield suddenly unleashed a giant barrier made of both darkness and light, an Eclipse Barrier!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Beams of light and tentacles made of shadows emerged out of it, attacking every rat that got closer and blowing them away, keeping them far away from Rita!
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"KRRRHHH…" The Rat Queen was pissed at seeing Rita resist her attackers, as she waved her hand and suddenly conjured a large magic circle.
"Wait, you're a magician?!" Rita panicked.
"Kurakh, terus, magna…" The Rat Queen spoke in her rat dialect, as a gigantic mass of miasma emerged atop her head, and she launched it directly at Rita.
"Agh!"
BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!
The explosion was so enormous and strong that several of the other rats were blown away on the spot. The Queen seemed completely unconcerned about the health of her servants, and smiled while trying to find Rita's destroyed body amidst the smoke provoked by the explosion.
However, what she found was different, and far away from her expectations. Rita was completely safe, and Whitey had managed to hide himself between her large chest, the Miasma launched at her was flowing through her body.
"Hehehe, I can't believe you actually did such a stupid thing, rat." Laughed Rita, her entire vibe suddenly changed, becoming malicious and vile. Her eyes started glowing with red light, and the Miasma she absorbed started powering up her dark magic. An orb made of darkness surged at her side, overflowing with power.
After her recent powerup, she had managed to create a spell similar to the one her Avatar had, the Orb of Malice was able to absorb Malicious Energies, this even included Miasma, powering her up.
"[Darkness Empowerment]!"
FLUOOOSH!
Rita's aura started exuding a powerful aura of power, shaping as a gigantic lady of the night. It felt as if her own equipment's powers merged with her aura.
"KRAAAH!!!"
The Rat Queen furiously ordered her Giant Rat Warriors to fight, as countless weapon attacks were directed at Rita all at once. However, Rita furiously swept her arms, as a gigantic hand made of shadows crushed the Giant Rats in mere seconds.
CLAAAAASSH!
Another palm made of shadows swept the other side, crushing even more Rats on her way. Rita smiled evilly, beginning to laugh. The Rat Queen started trembling nervously…
"Hahahaha… Now's your turn!" Rita smiled, about to crush the Rat Queen…
POOF!
However, her powerup quickly ended. Her shadows disappeared and her Mana was completely empty. The Orb of Malice disappeared at the same time, she had used all the power she absorbed from that attack…
"A-Ah…"
Rita quickly realized she could no longer act cocky, as the Rat Queen's face started to distort in anger, dozens of magic circles appeared, summoning fireballs, icicle spears, and giant rocks, which started falling over her one after the other.
BAAM! BAAAM! BAAAAM!
Rita barely managed to evade using her Shadow Sneak Spell, trying to run away from the scene, only to be surrounded by more and more Rats!
"S-Shit… I got a bit too cocky…" She sighed to herself.
"You did, dumbass! Now look at the situation we are at!" Her talking handgun reprimanded her.
"KILL… KILL HEEERRRRR!" The Rat Queen ordered, as Rita was showered with countless attacks, being forced out of her shadows!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"Uwaaaaahhhhh!!!" As Rita panicked, suddenly… something happened.
TRUUUUUUUMMMMMM…!
From the ceiling above, a gigantic beam of flames emerged, crushing the Rat Queen, and burning her to a crisp, her surrounding guards were engulfed in the flames and died on the spot, and most of the ones attacking Rita were burned severely, as they started screaming in agony and rolling over the floor.
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM…!
When Rita opened her eyes, she found out everything around her was crispy and burned. Every rat that escaped, mostly the tiny ones, were saved, but every single big one was roasted alive… Well, she had taken down over half of them herself, but still.
"W-What happened?! Who's there?!" Rita wondered, looking into the hole in the ceiling.
"Wait, is that you, Rita?!" Mark's voice echoed from above.
"MARK! Oh my gosh I can't believe I am so happy to hear your voice!" Rita said happily.
"It's really you! We'll be going down soon, wait there!" Mark said.
"Wait, can't I go up there instead?" Wondered Rita.
"Of course not, we need to gather the magic crystals inside the monsters down there!" Mark said.
"Eh? Ah, you're so similar to Elayne in some things…" Rita sighed.
