[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/houzIW1.png[/img][/center] As it transpired, Ashley’s plan worked, up to a point. The point in question being how far through Justin’s defenses her twin attacks would penetrate. Instead of grievously wounding the vampire, they hadn’t even managed to scratch his skin. However, they [i]did[/i] succeed in providing an opening for Gale to strike through, one which the bluenette took full advantage of, racing through the air to plunge her dagger into Justin’s chest. Unfortunately, Ashley wouldn’t witness the results of this strike. She had far more immediate concerns to deal with… [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Gaah!”[/color] the high-tech heroine cried as the various frogs clinging to her body detonated one after another. While her outfit’s defenses prevented her from being seriously injured, it still hurt like hell. It was only the mixture of hatred, fury, and raw adrenaline surging through her body that kept her focused. This was quite fortunate, seeing that Justin’s blood tendrils were even now wrapping themselves around her forearm and seeking to pull her off the roof… [color=MediumSpringGreen]“I don’t think so!”[/color] the Knight of Tomorrow snarled as she activated her contingency for just this situation. From out of a hidden chamber on her ultratech gauntlet shot a glowing buzzsaw, which rapidly grew in size and began swiftly circling the high-tech heroine. With luck, it would slice through the crimson tendrils ensnaring her as well as the swarms of flies now descending from the storm-wracked skies above (or at least the largest of their number). In the small reprieve this would hopefully grant, Ashley would see that Justin now held Gale in his clutches. The coward had positioned her so as to shield him from further attack, but that wasn’t all. Gale also appeared to be [i]paralyzed.[/i] As an agent of G.E.M.I.N.I., the Knight of Tomorrow had access to a wealth of information concerning various types of monsters, and in her studies she had discovered that vampires were known to possess the ability to transfix opponents, rendering them utterly helpless. [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]Well, we’ll just see about that…[/i][/color] Once again, glowing particles of neon green energy coalesced between the prongs of Ashley’s techno-wand, the gleaming sphere set between them shining with ever-increasing brilliance as yet [i]more[/i] power was added to the nascent melody. As soon as it had reached it’s full potential, the high-tech heroine fired the ensuing beam at her blue-haired ally. She only hoped it would be strong enough to free the young woman from Justin’s sinister enchantment… [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 [i][Bronze Self][Dynamo][Damage X][Piercing][/i] [Silver Beam][Powerful][Purity] = -84 mana PHYSICAL: E | ARCANE: C | CHAOS: B | 390[/center]
