[center][h3][color=456097]Artoria, Master of the Maniacal Menagerie[/color][/h3][/center]

Artoria, first and foremost, wanted to run away and cry. But she couldn't. 

Eos had just deflected her attacks one after another without even breaking her focus or exhausting herself. When she finally launched a serious attack, there was no way Artoria could have defended against it without the power of Henrietta's silver eyes. The silver eyes she couldn't copy. Between all the powers she couldn't copy and those of which she could only make pale imitations, like Taura's... She was coming to a very unhappy discovery. Could she only copy the form, the shape, the style of a power, not really its true power? If so, was she was a flawed creation that would never realize her dream, or get Hohenheim to recognize her?

But she couldn't mope now! Two beautiful girls were right here and needed her protection! The haughty and sultry Mephila, with such grace and refinement, even within a hardened shell! The flighty and passionate Henrietta, who knew exactly what she wanted and would stop at nothing to make it her own. They had even let her hug them without instantly killing her! This time. The destruction of such beauty could not be permitted.

[color=456097]"Hmph! Well, you're not the only one to have friendships or whatever! However dysfunctional they may be, I'm still gonna stand against you because Henrietta's right! We're demons because we do what we want! I'd want to run away if I was by myself, but I want to fight you because I want to stand in somewhat close proximity to Henrietta and Mephila! So, uh.. Yeah! Take that... Demon.. Power? Friendship?
 Or something?"[/color] Artoria said, kinda losing momentum the further and further she got into her lame speech.

Then Eos wordlessly attacked with point blank serious bullets. This was a fast attack, with almost no space or time to react. But against Alexi, Ira's speed had proved enough to parry a sword blow at near the speed of light. Ira was fast enough, and Artoria would be too. Shoving Mephila to the ground and away at an angle, she send them under the bullets, as she herself was pushed above the bullets, pulling up her legs in a curl as she narrowly dodged. She raised a fist, crackling with demonic flame to counterattack, and opened her mouth to respond to Hohenheim when:

[color=456097]".... OOOF!"[/color] Artoria was interrupted as the handle of an axe slammed into her, barely catching it with one free hand and an accidentally interposed elbow, and being launched backwards at high speed given her aerial position at the moment. Looking behind her to see if she was going to slam into anything, she noticed she was going to smack into a flying robot dinosaur. It went by the name Unit-T, but Artoria didn't know that. With a quick ear swap, she located the body piloting it with precision, sensing the very potential to become a cute animal girl. And she knew just the animal for this pilot! Unless, of course, they weren't actually suited to what they were piloting. That would be awkward. Ira's wings widening, Artoria turned herself about and increased her velocity, as Taura's shape was worn again. She'd swing forth Fran's Love Tap, the inordinately heavy axe, and Unit-T would find itself with the force of Taura's throw pushing her right into the strength of Taura (and Fran, and Ira) swinging an axe to split through her battered armor with demonic corruption and bucket loads of physical force. But if the Unit-T's shell finally cracked, its pilot would not be harmed, but instead, improved, being dino-fied.

One odd thing Henrietta would discover was that, in fact, her nails in the form, were copies of the power of her Cheater's blade. Her angry flailing had actually destroyed the floor underneath her, piercing through Shizuka's barriers as easily as they had once pierced through Miyu's, as the Cheater's Blade was wont to do. This would send Henrietta falling through the floor to dodge Eos' bullets, but set her face to face with Shizuka again.
