[h1]Alison[/h1] The spiked tentacle swells and writhes, lunging wildly at the spiders. It meets the spirit-webs immediately, and Alison lets out a scream of rage and frustration as Predator dissipates into darkness once more. She pounces forward, gauntlet slamming into the spider nearest her, then lets out a flurry of black shards from the palm of her right hand at point-blank range. Behind her, she feels something tug at her leg sharply, and twists as she falls on her butt, Predator instinctively whipping out behind her, only to explode into wisps again as it gets tangled in webs. Alison extends her wings, pushing off the ground and heading into the skies while spraying shards in a radius around her to keep spiders away. [i]So you think you can attack Rina and get away with it?![/i] Something snaps inside her mind, and the shadows scream around Alison as she immediately swoops back into the mass of spiders, landing with a loud crash, shards firing everywhere, the bulk of her armor swiveling to crush and maul. Predator slips out, striking and stabbing where she can find gaps between the webs. She feels something hollow in her body, a silent warning that she's running out of energy, but she ruthlessly quashes it. [i]I am the Princess of Shadows. Die, evil scum![/i]
