[color=LightGreen][center][h1]Seraphinite[/h1][/center][/color] Seraphinite glared at the Tugtupite as it's shield trapped her arm between to hexagonal energy plates. With a low growl, she slipped her hand in between the gap her bladed arm had created and sought to pull the shield apart. However, despite making some progress in pulling them apart with small cracks beginning to form in the energy construct, the voice of her target caused her to freeze momentarily. Looking up at her, Seraphinite listened to the Clinohumite speak with what could be considered rapt attention, her features hidden behind the glossy metallic green of her armor. After they finished their speech with a threat to the rebellion gems, she stood there for a bit longer, seemingly to process everything the other gem had said. It was only after Spinel appeared that she acted, first only swiping her arm-blade through the air in front of her, then taking a low stance. [color=Lightgreen]"You seem to have misunderstood my directive, Clinohumilite, or more accurately, you seem to believe that the current Seraphinite unit is still functioning in Sensory mode and capable of understanding the impact of your words. This is not true. This unit is currently in Combat mode, which means all personality, memories, and other such distractions have been shut down to redirect energy to destroy the current target: Clinohumilite. You have proven yourself to be a threat to this unit's well being, and as such, must be eliminated via shattering."[/color] Seraphinite's voice came out in a calm monotone, never once letting out even a hint of emotion as she laid out the details for her opponent. There was no malice, no anger, nothing but a cold logical reasoning that spoke of an gaping emptiness where there had been a grand flame of frustrated emotion. And yet, a question hung in their mind, resonated within each resonate word they spoke. [i][color=Lightgreen]Why is this unit informing the Clinohumite of this? Why does this unit . . . feel like it's obligated to clear up their misunderstanding. Whatever the case, it's something to be dealt with at a later date. This unit's current objective is to destroy the Clinohumite and nothing else.[/color][/i] [color=Lightgreen]"Due to the fact that your line has been declared both defunct and slated for disposal, you've been deemed expendable and your passing of little consequence."[/color] With her piece finally said, Seraphinite once again burst into action. She lashed out with her armblade, aiming a fast stab straight for Clinohumilite's gem in order to finish the fight as fast as possible. . . or so it seemed at first. In truth, this was just a feint to draw away the orange gem's attention while she shifted her other arm into a hooked blade. Before the first attack was going to hit, Seraphinite would pull it back, suddenly lashing out with a quick slash at the gem's chest, angling it so that it would dig deep and, if she was lucky, would catch inside of the construct, allowing her to swing them into the air before slamming them into the ground. Failing in that, however, Seraphinite would quickly back away, taking a defense stance as she waited for her opponent's response and prepared their next counter attack.
