Rei held Kyubey pinned to the ground with the Lance of Longinus as Skuld tapped the head of her hammer slowly in the palm of her hand. The little white creature was clearly panicked, and struggled ineffectually to free itself.
"Okay, you little jerk," Skuld growled as she bent over and glared at the little beast. "This is the fifth universe where we've caught you people pulling this scam. And that's five too many. This ends now." She stood up straight. "So no more miss nice goddess. I invoke Judgment on your species!"
Off to the side, Lisa flinched when she heard that. "Oh. Crap." She shared a quick look with Makoto and Rin-rin, then added, "We'd best move a bit further away."
"Why?" Madoka asked as the girls began herding her, Homura and Mami away from the confrontation with their mentor/mascot.
"Skuld's one of the Norns -- part of Fate itself," Makoto explained, glancing over her shoulder at Skuld, who was now beginning to glow bright gold. "If she's calling for Judgment on an entire species, it's likely to get a little... messy."
"In the meantime," Dee added, "we'll see if we can't take care of that little problem you have with your souls."
