"Only a coward beats a man when he's already out!" Ally said, setting Shaz behind her and Kiro.  She got into an aggressive stance and was going to counter any attack this man threw.  She wasn't doing this for Shaz, she was doing this for Kiro.  Kiro was in no condition to fight, any fight against Kiro or Shaz would be unfair.  She figured all she would have to do would be a hard counter and the man might back off.  When she heard Niijima's cries to Kiro she shook her head, "Don't think I forgot that you're the reason Kiro has to go against either of these men!"  She clenched her fists and got ready to defend Kiro.
