There has been a distinct lack of mentioning anything getting in Ronin's way.

If that keeps up, Ronin is just going to go straight past everyone else engaged in combat in a mad dash towards Eli and Mariette. She obviously noted Lily's decision, and she couldn't let her choice go to waste-!

Poor Eli wasn't nearly fast enough to intercept Lily's attack. She ended up stunned and staggering in surprise, partly because she hadn't expected to be attacked by that particular individual.

As for when it came to Mariette... what was there really she could do? It was with an expression of alarm that she realized just who it was that was coming for her. With the minimal time she had available to her, in a desperate defensive act, Mariette powered a small portal right on-top of her skin leading to another portal underneath her feet, intent to stop Lily short and make her zap a piece of roof instead of Mariette.

Of course, that would only delay Lily a fraction of a second, but she had to hope that this slight delay would give her allies time to respond to the sudden new threat.
