Alex managed to wrap her strong arms against the lean waist, firmly gripping tightly while her legs wrapped around the legs to have a better hold. Unknowingly ignoring Naisha's cries to run. Her head. Throbbed as it tried processing multitude of thoughts, plans, ideas, emotions about all this. What to do in this situation? As controlled Naisha started preparing a Flare, Alex didn't move. It was a powerful spell that had a large blast radius, she was doubtful she's get away in time. Plus, she didn't want to. 

Clenching her teeth tightly together, she heard a shot and she quickly shifted their weight to barely avoid a energy shot. Her blue eyes briefly glanced to who it was and saw that half Ronso. She couldn't exactly yell at him for shooting, Naisha looked like a fiend.

Or she was. Alex wasn't sure anymore. Was she killed? No longer even able to human again? If that was the case, what made her different from being a fiend? That meant Alex would have no choice but to kill her friend. But if she's being controlled, can she snap out of it? Alex didn't know what to do, and she was afraid she would have to resort to death.

Eyes narrowing as she heard that girl, then Thane's order to the Aeon, Alex knew she had to decide and do something now. Despite everything, Alex couldn't just let innocent people get hurt and this crazed lunatic get his way. Naisha right now, was too dangerous to contain awake. If Alex could use silence on her, maybe. But she can't.

Then she came down to three options. Kill, try her best to stall the Aeon from that girl, or maybe knock her out.

All options were not very pleasant. If Alex tried stalling, more people could die. Of course, Alex didn't want to kill Naisha either. Knocking her out was the best she could do. But Alex wasn't a ninja and do the thing to karate chop the neck to knock her head. The red head was a brute. A berserker almost. She punched, kicked, swung a sword around and even headbutted, but Naisha was so frail, Alex wasn't sure she could hold her blow well enough to not kill her and effectively knock her out. Heck, the blitzer didn't even know if she could be knocked out. 

Body shaking as her teeth clenched, her grip tighter before finally making up her mind. Removing her right armored glove so it was bare, her left hand moving up to hook and grab the shoulder to pull herself up so they were eye level and pulled her right arm back, fist readying. Face twisted in dismay, teeth clenched tightly as her arm shook before steadying.

Alex didn't know if Naisha was still in there and could see and hear her, but the red head was sure of one thing. Naisha wouldn't want to hurt so many innocent people.

Eyes narrowing slightly, Alex tried focusing she had to hit the correct spot with the correct amount. Naisha would probably decifinetly hurt, but hopefully be alive and blacked out.

[color=red]"I'm sorry Nai."[/color] Alex murmured before her body twisted a little before twisting and aiming her fist toward the left temple.
