Snippet #2679788

Emily had no trouble adapting to the new opponent, sliding to Drek's side in a swift evade of the axe swing. As she brought her arms to bear, she attempted to use her leverage, and his recovery time from the swing, to lock his arms aside and prevent him from doing anything in return, allowing her to slide a hand to his neck in a position that would allow her a clean kill.

As Ekfricai moved to stop her, covering for Drek, her body wobbled and spun in place, letting her use her legs to parry Ekfricai while keeping her hold on Drek. What she said next was a surprising comment.

"A poor choice of opening attack. Powerful moves should be saved for when your opponent is off-balance, otherwise, you leave yourself off-balance, and give them an opening to slay you. Try again."

Emily released her grasp on Drek, and prepared to let him attack again, apparently declining to kill. She stood in a position that allowed both Drek and Ekfricai to reach her as well, assuming her bizarre stance once more, ready to now engage both.

"Come at this form."

Hana was bashed in the face with the pommel, and immediately relented to grasp at the impact point. "Ack! Awwowowowow!" This made Kinoko stop, allowing Ayanna the space she intended to take to withdraw.

"Hana! You okay? She's good! But we need to finish her fast! She's probably going to try something!"

Kinoko and Hana both watched Ayanna carefully, with Hana pointing her tentacle towards Ayanna's direction, a sort of preparation tactic. "If she tries something funny, Kinoko, I'll bake us a pie!"

Kinoko grinned hearing that. "Sounds good. I'm kind of hungry anyways." She began charging her own energy again, as she held her hands in a ready stance. She wasn't sure what Ayanna had planned, but she was certain it'd be fierce.
