The Order buster's natural defences weren't up to snuff. Unexpectedly, the tentacles, after being blasted apart, reformed immediately, and latched onto the giant, sluggish monster of a machine, stopping it in mid-flight. More tendrils rose up, grasping onto its legs tightly, to keep it from moving, began changing to a darker hue, and solidifying around the robots lower joints. There was no escaping now.

	Meanwhile, Jeff's path was cut off by a series of walls that rose, one after another. A moment after he split from his clone, his real body was overcome by a tidal-wave of pinkish sludge that blocked his path and began to wrap around him, zoning him away from Ada. Dacer flew overhead, raising his altitude until he was above the cloud line. The archer licked his lips against the fierce winds, before slowing his climb, and moving slowly over the battlefield. He began to channel Ki into both of his claws, but before he could assist anyone, Oz easily sped around the oncoming tendrils like some kind of human pinball. The Gaian eyes Jeff, channelling his Ki until it reached optimal density, high in the sky. Nothing went after him.

	Back at her platform, Ada kept her vision focused on Oz, despite having a detailed view of the entire battlefield. Jeff's clone, the one that had gotten past her barricade, was met with yet another barricade of a similar fashion, which wrapped around him and forced the clone to either retreat, or be consumed. Oz's initial attack was met with a sudden jutting fractal of smooth purple glass, that erupted from the platform she stood upon like a diagonal wall, and diverted the force-spear away, before lowing again into the nicely smoothed out arena below her. It moved like a machine, fast, precise and rigid. Ada herself wasn't about to Let Oz get anywhere near her with that bubble anytime soon, though. The tendrils, despite being torn apart by the order buster's attack, reformed behind Oz, and fell back towards him, looping around and moving to pinsir him from behind with a slowly forming wall of purple spikes. From below, the moment his disc began to expand, shimmering spikes shot up from the crafted plateau all around Ada, halting the barrier's expansion at several points, and jutting beyond its scope by several yards. Hundreds of them made it past the barrier's range before Oz could complete it, leaving little spikes to poke out of its walls, and by extension, gaps for Ada's eyes to peer through by the time it reached the edges of her arena. The spikes were opaque, and almost glass like, but signified Ada's ultimate density; She'd created matter that could withstand even Jenso's Omega saw. Although its density was absolute, the one-inch diameter of the little spikes made it clear that she wasn't about to be liberal with it. At any rate, despite the barrier halting her physical movement, she wasn't sealed from the majority of her ooze. Ada began to conjure a slick of sludge at her feet the sped towards the edges of the bubble once again while moving around the base of her spike forest, like it had done before, to get a head start on shattering the irritating defence before she would have to deal with anything in [i]close quarters.[/i]
