The platforming across the floating world they had wound up took a while, which combined with the feeling of uncleanliness resulted in a sort of gradually building dread in the princess till about ten minutes in (according to her watch), when it became clear that being inside the plane wasn’t a rapid fire way to be turned into a monster. Which meant it was actually less corrupting than her home realm, as it would have turned them all into ghosts or beasts right after they arrived.

[color=Aquamarine]”Still probably not a good idea to stick around in here any longer than we have to”[/color] she muttered while hiding behind a stone block, before yelling [color=Aquamarine]”So it’d be nice if you could stop slowing us down you worthless pieces of trash!”[/color] and then hurling a twilight volleybomb at the copy of a copy of a copy denizens of the realm, which she had found produced absolutely nothing of value when crushed.

Yet slow them down they did, as did the feeling just which grew worse and worse. It was something of a relief then, when they found their man, despite how dire the situation he was in was.

The chimera assailing the unarmed man  was massive, and a block of armor to boot, but at least it was visible and tangible. That hadn’t stopped it from thrashing Goldlewis however, and the secretary of defense was in bad shape.

[color=Aquamarine]”The cavalry's here, so pull back and let us take the heat!”[/color] she called out as she approached, float-hopping up the stepping stones, yet despite her words she was still a ways off when she yelled it, and the Harbinger’s influence was notably slowing her stride. 

As a result, she was almost certainly going to arrive to the fight, despite not being the last to reach the stairs

[color=Aquamarine]”Come on, think think think”[/color] she demanded of herself as her slow pace forced her to watch, before snapping her fingers upon realizing she should [color=Aquamarine]”Think laterally!”[/color] to solve her problem.

In tune with that line of thought, she diverged from the tunnel-like path leading towards the combat and went to the side, ascending up the walls flanking the stairs, before landing atop it.

Up there she found exactly what she had been looking for: a way to help before she got in close. Hovering around the top of the wall were several of the near ubiquitous hut sized floating cube that littered astral terrain, ones just like those the gang have passed dozens of on their way here. Until now, she’d just barely thought about them, but now, as she reached out with a shadow hand and plucked one from the sky she had found a use for them: namely as projectiles

She pulled the first floating rock close, and then whipped her head around and around, whirling her shadow hand like a sling, reproducing that must humble yet deadly of weapons at a marco scale, before hurling the gravity defying rock at the hulking form of the chimera. 

The princess mainly relied on the size of her target and her projectile to make up for the unpracticed and improvised nature of her attack  .The fact that most of the party were still approaching when she made it reduced the risk of friendly fire, but first Goldlewis and then also Roxas were still there and in the line of fire. To avoid hitting them, the princess aimed her toss as wide of the men as she was able … and also yelled the made up on the spot attack name of [color=Aquamarine]”Cubic toss!”[/color] as a warning when she let a chunk of the astral plane fly.

She wasn’t done with just one shot, however, and the princess would grab and throw as many shots as she could until she was interrupted, or the battle on the platform got too chaotic from the introduction of more fighters for her to be able to risk firing into said fight. She added to this barrage by summoning her 3 amazon initiate strikers, who dashed to whatever cover they could find atop the wall, and from those spots proceeded to launch as many volleys of armor piercing and mind breaking psychic spears at the chimera as their timers would allow. 

If she had space after, she’d use it to approach and throw in some dragon dances as she did, powering up for her own entrance into the fray. If something came after/was fired at her? She’d have the remaining cubes to use as a shield of sorts for her small body, or failing that, dive for any kind of cover she could find.
