Chloe ran like she'd never had before in her life, mind and body screaming at her that this situation they were in was dangerous, and one that might very well in their mortality coming to show. That was one thing she didn't want to happen; she liked life far too much to just die lying down. She grit her teeth and sped up, following Fiona and Tamaki. That japanese girl sure was quick, she noted, impressed. 

She glanced backwards, spotting the last girl of their group facing off against the biggest of these machines. It faced her down, towering over her menacingly. Whatever was happening... was that girl's responsibility. For as fate would have it they had their own things to deal with, in the form of several humanoid-sized machines speeding towards them, weapons drawn. 

[i]If something or someone doesn't stop them, then...[/i] She glanced forward to Tamaki and Fiona again, their wild sprint to get away. [i]These things, half human half machine, or whatever they are, are gaining on us. If they're not stopped.[/i] She groaned, resigning herself to what had to be done. It was more annoying than anything, but if it was what she had to do... 

She stopped and turned around, drawing her sword from its sheath and holding it up in a challenge. If Fiona and Tamaki had to get away, someone had to stop them, and right now she was the only one currently there. Even as she stood her ground, the scions came into focus, becoming clearer to her eyes, even the sound of them became clearer. Her muscles tensed, preparing her for what was inevitably to come. She needed to be faster, faster than any human, if she were to get out of this alive. 

And while her senses grew stronger and more focused, she didn't notice her magic and body responded, changing to accommodate the situation; her legs changing to become digitigrade, paws instead of feet, large claws capable of rending flesh with ease following. A tail grew from above her rear, long and thick; powerful. Additionally her eyes became slitted, and her ears moved to the top of her head, becoming the triangle shape of any and growing brown fur as her legs and tail had. 

She grit her teeth, revealing elongated canines, and faced what was surely to become a fight to the death. [i]I will[/i] not [i]let you past this spot![/i]

"Tamaki, Fiona! Keep going, I'll hold them back!" She shouted, throwing the scabbard of her sword to the side. Time was up.
