The young ratman grinned as the strike had done significant damage to their deadly flying vespid like foe. But one strike was not enough and Mother rat had been repelled before she could do more significant damage. Though at least now the bug only focused on Ed, realizing that he was the greater threat to it. [color=chocolate]"C'MON AND GET SOME!"[/color] Ed roared at the circling bug as it decided to dive right at him, intending to skewer him with it's spear like stinger. Ed knew that his awkward batting position would not do him any good in attacking the dive bombing bug, so he instead focused on it once again with [b][Beast Sense II][/b]. Hoping to high heaven that whatever caused his perception of time to slow, may it be a hidden skill or simply just the adrenaline causing his brain to go overdrive, would kick in again, and in doing so, give him an advantage on what he wanted to do. 

Like before, he would still take an aggressive stance but this time this was only a ruse. He would feign a swing just to cause the bug to react to the false attack, but he would hop backwards at the last second. The bug would be too distracted by reacting to the feign that it would give Asteria and Mother Rat the chance they need to take their foe down.

[hider=Action Summary]
-Happy that his attack did some significant damage to the Blooding fly.
-Taunted the bug to cause it to solely focus on him.
-Knows that the batting stance would do him no good in attacking a target that is directly above him.
-Focused everything on sight again using [Beast Sense II], hoping that the slowed perception of time would kick in again.
-Instead of attacking, Ed would feign a swing and dodge backward at the last moment. 
-Hopes that the feign would give Asteria and Mama Rat advantage as the bug reacts to the fake out.
