Nemo's quick implementation and smooth movements surprised Raiya. Everything went according to plan so quickly that Raiya almost forgot about her own role within her plan. Immediately after the kick to the captain's face, he focused his water on Nemo, it was in the following moment Raiya struck. She used her enhancement spell to get within the distance for her Yamata no Orochi. Because the surface of the deck was made of steel, Raiya could integrate her sword with it to create her spell. Raiya quickly charged mana into her katana and then stabbed her sword into the deck, [color=ec008c]"YAMATA NO OROCHI!"[/color] she yelled her Japanese incantation. Instead of actually cutting into the steel of the deck, the spell that was charged within her blade melded the metal with the deck, giving her spell control over the steel within a certain area of effect from where the sword was stabbed. The area of effect depended on the amount of mana she charged her blade with, but for her purposes, she only needed about twenty feet.

 	Raiya willed the spell to complete itself underneath where the captain was standing. Within a second of her blade integrating with the deck eight blades as tall as the captain sprung forth from the deck. They all converged towards the captain's torso, the tragectory of each blade was close enough to scrape against its neighbor when the converged. When all was said and done, a ring of eight long blades would have stood converged in a veritable bouquet of very sharp very long blades. The quickness of the spell left almost no time for dodging to the side. And Raiya had one more spell loaded if the captain did indeed decide to dodge laterally. Raiya was determined to force this battle into the air.
