It's her Enemy Stand

I can't tell if it had 0 effect and is just burning in place, or if it burned a hole clean through her to show that she's a projection or not really there or something.

Hehe... The simple definition of built different.

Dang, Annie went straight for the kill shot. Unfortunately, avoiding fire damage was one of the very first tricks Ms. "Earn It" learned.

Holy shit. Did Annie just aim to kill? She’s burned creatures before, but here she just straight shot a fire beam at another human girl. I guess she really meant it when she said she’d destroy Jack. Our girl’s done.

Oh y'know, the thought had occurred to me that Noa might've been a water-user of some type, but I guess fire resist accomplishes much the same problem for Annie. Dang.

my money's still on george

loving that dbz face parley's making

Kat's Hell Cage of Eternal Damnation™ oneshots her.

Parley's gone all manga on us?

“Gang of magical girls goes to the evil lady's lair and fights her minions one by one" reminds me of Sailor Moon's 1st final battle: after Moon defeats the evil queen she saves/resurrects her friends at the cost of their memories. The Court will mind wipe everyone who knows the pioneers regardless of who wins (they may have already) and I can see Zimmy erasing herself from everyone's memories if/when she gets her guilt back, recalling Gamma telling Rey Zimmy doesn't think she deserves to be happy (she chose her own happiness over others' safety; the result: 3 dead, scores drained of æther, dozens Wandavisioned or dead and their souls trapped in the eye to fuel Zimmy's illusion, Jack is a murderer, the witches are accomplices, Jack, Tony, and Kat are traumatized) and Zimmy telling Annie she'd kill the world and herself if Gamma asked, assuming Gamma even survived being flattened by two angry gods...

Noa should have been a cook with the ease at which she handles the heat.

So now her shirt should say "burn it"? It doesn't even look like she notices, or cares... is it deadly or dudly force?

Annie's not fooling around, surprising even Kat! (next page will be very interesting!)

Ruh-roh. And my goodness, Parley’s face! o_O;

Yeah, this won't work. His first immunity was to fire

Fire might be a bad matchup!

Come on, Annie, weren't you paying attention during the exposition? Fire isn't going to work on her.

Less a fighter and more a weapon herself.

Yay, woa, oh, thats gonna be epic!

Good job Annie! Hopefully it will get the others moving too. Noa's not invincible, you just have to keep moving and overwhelm the tank until you find the weakest points and apply pressure there.

Uhhh. Did she forget she can Teleport?

Temporary distraction?

Annie steps up

Without even charging up the Kamehameha, impressive, Carver!

She's not having it.

Funny Valentine has obtained all of the holy corpse's parts

Impressive, but there has to be a limit or drawback to Noa’s method.

It looks like Noa's here to fulfill Team Jenny's plan to kill Kat. Noa seems to be absorbing Annie's double-strength heat ray, so it's likely Noa's runes protect her from physical harm as well. I think possession by Reynard's looking to be Team Annie's best bet against Noa, although it will be the last thing they try because of the consequences to Noa.

Paging Jones. Jones to this location ASAP!

Hey girl you're on fire today

So either the fire went directly through her, and she is unfazed, or her front became red hot, like the fire didn't make direct contact with her. Either way, she is giving off some BA vibes.

Remember the cruise ship adventure in chapter 49, where Zimmy was made to come and ended up making a distortion? The robots were aware of Anne and others and had runes they placed on Anne and other kids of power to block their powers. As I recall, we never learn where those runes came from. Jenny was there but was "unable" to break the runes. Jenny however, did help send the hovercraft to get help, but had no idea it would bring Reynardine who could break the runes, which allowed Anne to break up the entire plan. Now we have another distortion occurring from Zimmy and the Magic crowd seems behind this one. I think we are seeing the source here of those anti-Anne runes the first time. Jenny screwed up the first attempt at creating the distortion because she didn't know about Reynardine. She then learned all she could about Anne's crowd to try to block them this time. What do they have planned for Reynardine this time? Thoughts?

This is definitely a Kat battle. She’s even dressed the same

What kind of outfit is that, Annie?

Uh oh, can’t Kat do her god containment cage?

Kat and Noa are wearing the same type of top style

This is painful to watch. Come on, blue fairy!

Ok Tom, nobody wants to see "ooh wow witch girl is SO badass and powerful!" We want to see "Witch girl THINKS shes badass and powerful but then gets utterly dog walked by Annie and friends, because they are ACTUALLY powerful, and these witches suck and we all hate them and want to see them lose."

Well... crud

Good, Annie. Again.

Annie's wave motion gun attack just wrecked Noa's favorite workout shirt... that's gonna have some consequences.

Burn it.

What is this, dragon ball z? Ahahah

this is the first moment in this comic that feels genuinely like a shounen anime to me

Stopped cold at the surface. Hmm. Generates pinning gravity attacks out of nowhere without even having to move, and Annie's fire blasts can't incinerate past the very surface of impact. She's started to move again, but very slowly and deliberately. Wonder if Annie getting Noa's attention like that leads to Parley and Cvet getting released from the binding gravity pressure spell they're under?

Duuude, Anne is not fucking around

Let fly, again, again again!

That's... Less than good.

Woah Annie! You could hurt someone!

So I'm going to guess her garage kit rune network is going to be extremely robust, but also very unstable. And if someone manages to tweak it in the slightest or find a loophole, the whole thing is gonna fall apart and probably demolish her in the process.

Fire is just mildly annoying.

Anyone else genuinely nervous ????

Man, why don’t they just send her in first last time??

Ooh, Annie gonna get gravitated. I'll bet on Deus Ex Red (or maybe Ayilu) at this point.

Kat's looking good in the Goku outfit.

Annie aimed to kill. This is pretty serious. An enemy who can't feel pain, but is altered to channel immense strength. Who will break first? Our heroes or her body?

Well...looks like Annie's been watching anime with Kat these days because that blast looked very DBZ-styled. Might want to upgrade to a Kamehameha Wave, though. Also this is starting to feel very anime. I like the influence here!
