Mako leapt back from the knight's sword swing, the tip of the blade whistling past his chest, less than an inch away. Mako swallowed, forcing his nerves down. He didn't know how durable he was in this world, what with the kinda-JoJo enlightenment superpowers thing he had going on, but a sword to the guts wasn't how he wanted to test those limits. Speaking of... Mako turned his awareness inward, toward that flare of warmth he felt in the back of his head, which was now a roaring blaze by comparison to how it felt in the "real" world. [color=0076a3][i]Interesting,[/i][/color] he thought to himself as he contemplated his power. He seemed to have some intuitive grasp of how his powers operated- an innate sense of what he was capable of. It was by no means comprehensive, but it gave him some general ideas.

[color=0076a3][i]It feels like... I'm more well-suited to single target, one-on-one combat. Should have guessed. I am a boxer, after all.[/i][/color] In that case, it was a good thing that Kami was here- he seemed more well-suited to AOE effects. Which meant Mako could focus his attentions on the thing he could actually do something about. A glowing blue tarot card floated down into Mako's outstretched palm from nowhere, and Mako grinned fiercely.

[color=0076a3]"Here goes nothing, I guess. [i]Persona![/i]"[/color]

He crushed the card in his hand, and felt a rush of power as his Persona flowed out of him in all its splendor. Still grinning, he cast a Debilitate on the knight. A sickly aura surrounded the Shadow, weakening its armor, dulling its blade, and slowing it down. Not giving it the chance to react to what he'd done to it, Mako took brief aim and fired off an Agidyne. A gout of flame erupted from the ground under the knight's feet, enveloping it. Mako turned to the rest of the group.

[color=0076a3]"Its defenses are down, as well as its attack! I can keep debuffing it, so jump in on it and grind it down!"[/color]
