Cydone was fairly happy to let Zeruel block all the attacks and draw all the attention. Zeruel could handle himself, and Cydone was quite happy the surprise laser beams that would have inevitably killed him choosing to instead bounce off the Arm of God. Or whatever the giant guy's title was. Think Arm of God's right.

But then his Reality Check detected spacetime shredding beneath him. Lot of it, burrowing up through the ground beneath him. Zeruel might be able to tank that hit, but Cydone didn't particularly want to test that, much preferring if Zeruel continued tanking for team Angel for as long as possible. As well as providing the eye beams of destruction. Cydone had to smile as that attack lanced out. There was just something perfectly Angelic about judgmental stares that caused you to explode.

Being able to perfectly sense Grafdakka's attack coming, Cydone prepared himself to strike just as Grafdakka breached the ground, tearing into Zeruel's forcefield and lower legs-tentacle-things. Cydone passed in a flash, his unstoppable blade, in the literal sense of having infinite inertia, slicing through Grafdakka's drill arm, severing critical power components, and causing the drill to flop to the side, unpowered, hanging on by a metaphorical thread of armor that Cydone's blade hadn't been long enough to cut through, and Grafdakka's momentum might break it off as he continued the hit.

Cydone smiled, tipping his hat. He couldn't exactly see it, but he liked to imagine the whole super fast sword slice while looking away looked cool. Whether it did depended on your taste in shounen.

There was also the added benefit of this maneuver that it put Zeruel between him and the laser jets he was afraid of without making it look like he was hiding behind Zeruel. Perfect. [color=e9b45d]"Careful, Zeruel, they've got those spacetime shreddy attacks. Even your barrier'll have trouble with those."[/color]

This also left him looking at Ni-Mu, her giant barrage of shrapnel and blades drawing attention. [color=e9b45d]"Well, can't have that, looks like I got me an opponent."[/color] Cydone lashed out with one of his wire grapnels, snagging a smallish side island. Reducing it's inertia to nearly zero, he pulled on the grapnel, launching the island at Ni-Mu. The shrapnel storm blasted into the island, but found it "unstoppable" Cydone having now maxed its inertia out after it reached a good speed. Cydone used this to anchor himself as he launched up and towards Ni-Mu, using the island he was throwing at her for cover. And that's when the [i]Raison d'Être[/i] was loaded, giving Cydone a real sense of the power of the person he was fighting, maybe he had chosen the wrong battle. Still, if it detonated on impact, then Ni-Mu'd just hit the island coming at her (Cydone trailed a little further behind it), and if not, it wouldn't be his problem. [color=e9b45d]"Zeruel, incoming from my angle, spacetime shreddy attack again!"[/color]

[color=e9b45d]"Bleedin' Hells, did I miss something and spacetime-shredding attacks become the new gunpowder while I was out of circulation? Does every Machina have this now? Gonna give me performance anxiety for my title."[/color] Cydone remarked to Ni-Mu as the blade pierced through the island he was riding at her, imminently about to impact with her unless she blocked or dodged.

[@KoL] (Ni-Mu's shrapnel attack was blocked, and Ni-Mu has some dialogue and an island moving at her.) [@Lucius Cypher] (Grafdakka drill arm damage) [@Ryonara] (Nothing important for you, just wanted you to know Cydone thinks of your characters as laser jets) [@Lmpkio] (Cydone dialogued at Zeruel, which included a warning about the [i]Raison d'Être[/i] attack. Might wanna dodge/block that one, what with the black-hole-iness.) [@ReaptheMusic] (Time for Cherry to work her magic)
