The monster analysis took way to fucking long – or rather, the battle moved faster than she’d anticipated – and what was more, the info was utterly crap. Ed utterly destroyed one of the scout, while Mother rat was getting even more injured, the ants sensing she was on her last legs and focusing their attack on her. Mother rat rans towards her, attempting to communicate, but Asteria didn’t have time to try and decipher the message then. Instead, she focused attacking the insect she’d engaged before. [color=F0E68C]“Ed, protect Mother, I’m finishing this one off,”[/color] she shouted, as the Bloodingfly stinger got stuck in the ant’s neck. She distracted the opponent by biting and scratching at it, darting around its attacks, harassing it. 

With her tail, she aimed to strike at its neck, specifically where the stinger was in, attempting to hammer it in. She baited it with that same tail, hopefully getting its focus on it, so that when she next attacked it in a different manner, it wouldn’t be prepared to defend. At one point, when the bug’s attention seemed diverted, Asteria stepped swiftly to its side, and quickly launched herself at its back, tackling it. When she was close enough, she grabbed it with both her paws and tail, squeezing its body with all appendages.
 
Once again, she activated Mana Sense and Mana Drain, but in a momentary inspiration, opened a telepathic link with it. She gathered all her frustration, anger, worry, fear, concern, condensed the negative emotions into a huge wrecking ball of a message, and sent it over the link to the bug, screaming [color=F0E68C][i]Fuuuuuuck yoouuuuu[/i][/color] in a cacophony of mental noise at it for good measure. Even if it the insect’s nervous system didn’t get so overloaded that it would just die on the spot, it should hopefully be distracted enough that Asteria could proceed to hurl a mighty paw-punch at the base of the stinger that was still visible from where it got stuck into its neck.
