One even landed on her cheek, but while uncomfortable, the Knight of Tomorrow knew she couldn’t take her attention away from the vampire, not even for a moment. Events transpiring across the street only accentuated that fact, as Justin charged towards Gale, only for the bluenette to cast twin whirlwind melodies, one on the vampire, and the other on herself. As crimson globs spun around the pair and dozens of frogs were hurled against the blood barrier, their caustic detonations dissolving it further, Ashley’s eyes widened in alarm as Justin grabbed Gale and flung the bluenette towards her. Knowing that a collision at that speed would likely detonate every frog on her body, the Knight of Tomorrow nimbly dodged to the side. Such a maneuver would still cause her to step on, and subsequently detonate, at least a few of the explosive frogs hopping around the roof, but even if their corrosive innards managed to penetrate her outfit’s defenses, any pain it might generate would be as nothing compared to the heartrending sight that greeted her when she looked towards her fellow agents… [color=MediumSpringGreen]“BREACHER!!!”[/color] Ashley screamed, tears streaming down her cheeks and mixing with the crimson torrent that already coated her body. The sound of a hellish screech accompanied the cataclysmic collision of two cars, with the draconic agent directly between them. Even with all the shield-bearing esper’s defensive abilities, the odds of her surviving such a brutal attack were slim to none, something the subsequent spray of blood from between the two mashed vehicles grimly attested to… [color=MediumSpringGreen]“S-She… She had a daughter…”[/color] Ashley whispered, before whirling to face Justin, an almost inhuman snarl emerging from deep within her anguished throat. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“YOU BASTARD!!!”[/color] she howled at the vampire, her voice filled with utter fury. She had detested him before, but now her hatred had reached new, terrifying pinnacles. She wanted, [i]needed[/i] him to die, needed him to [i]suffer[/i], and she would ensure he would, or die in the attempt. Her fury gave her focus, her will inexorably fixed upon the goal of ending Justin’s wretched existence. Thus, even as the vampire conjured tendrils of blood with which to ensnare them and a torrent of lice began falling from the sky, the Knight of Tomorrow set about accomplishing that task with all the impressive speed her esper form afforded her. Reaching up to gently pluck the frog off her left cheek, she hurled the small creature at the approaching crimson tendrils, hoping its corrosive detonation would buy her the time she needed to complete this first stage of her renewed assault. Less than a second later, she raised her techno-wand and fired a beam of neon green destruction directly at the center of Justin’s chest, followed by an even stronger bolt. Without his blood barrier to protect him, the first shot should strike true, and even if it was absorbed by whatever other defenses or natural toughness the vampire might possess, the [i]second[/i] attack, striking so soon after the first, should pass through those now-weakened defenses and cause [i]considerably[/i] more harm… [hr] [center]18 | Female | GEMINI | Vision of Tomorrow Implements of Tomorrow | Wand, Shield | Arcane | Tune of Tomorrow Raiment of Tomorrow | Stride of Tomorrow Light of Tomorrow | Light | Power of Tomorrow PRO-TEK 4000 Defensive Surgery Implement | Kevlar Coat, Kevlar Padding, Clip Light [Reveal (2), Purity (4)], Damage (2), Damage X (6), Shield (4), Reflect (4), Heal (6), Major Heal (18), AoE (2), Powerful (0), Piercing (2) DAMAGE: B | SPEED: E | SENTINEL: C | 750 [Silver Beam][Damage X] = -108 mana PHYSICAL: E | ARCANE: C | CHAOS: B | 474[/center]
