They came so fast that Alexis didn't realize they were around her until it was too late. Those chains and spikes surrounded her, dug into the ground. With Alexis in her one-knee position, she barely had any time to react, let alone escape. 

In her last ditch effort to have any hope of surviving, Alexis dug deep into her spirit and her heart. She conjured up what remaining power she had left and then some. It all happened in a flash, but when it was all said and done, when the arcane energies from Casana's attack ended and when Alexis' own power flared up high into the sky, there was a lava-colored, armor-like shell surrounding the Firefighter, half of already cracked away as the left side of her face was revealed through it, her left, emerald eye staring at Casana. And the right side of her body from shoulder down was also revealed. Alexis had severe, dark red burns on her skin as a result. This specific techinque that she used was one of high risk, but this time it saved her life.

[color=firebrick][b]"Whatever you just tried to do didn't work..."[/b][/color] Her voice trailed off as the lava-colored shell armor cracked off, piece by piece. When it had completely broke off from her skin, Alexis' body fell to the ground face-first. [b][color=firebrick]"Shit, this sucks..." [/color][/b]In the end, Alexis fell unconscious. Even though she survived Casana's last attack and was able to successfully defend herself from it, the risk that she took using the Hardened Spirit Armor took its toll on her body. As a result, she was drained of all of her stamina which caused her to faint.
