[I]Damn, the old decoy ploy, and I fell for it.[/i] Amara thought and she pulled out the arrow. [i] A poisoned arrow? Seriously, who does that any more? More to the point, why would anyone use it against a Magical Girl?[/i] She thought indignity. "Focused." she muttered to herself. She took the offensive this time, Dead Kitty went in first, but the thing simply flung it off with bone breaking force. It hit a nearby bamboo stalk and bounced (sorta) back to it's feet. While the thing was still distracted, Amara summoned her two kusarigama and engaged the primordial at medium range. She gripped them by the weight at the end and swung them like a whip. This time the primordial was smarter and faster. It raised its claw and got it tangled in the chain. Amara yanked it off balance, grabbed her other weapon by the handle, and slashed at its chest. She managed one gash before it blocked her with it's free claw. It stabbed at her with it's claw which she barely blocked, the impact almost knocked her weapon out of her hand. [i]Its strong![/i] She realized. The primordial attacked with both claws, forcing Amara to jump back. While she was in the air, it swung it's claw, still wrapped in chain and slammed her into the ground. While she was momentarily stunned, the thing rushed up, intending to kill her. But the valiant cat once more jumped on its face and clawed at what looked to be its eyes . This time though, the primordial struck the cat off and stomped on it while it was down. Amara winced as she felt it re-die as the severe trauma ended it's unlife. But it had served it's purpose and Amara was back on her feet. This time, she summoned her Death Scythe, (having decided that the kusarigama were too risky) with a battle cry she went on the attack again. [i]I have to hurry up and finish this before the other Magical Girls show up![/i] She thought desperately.
