[color=888888]-Ashley Avenir[/color][/center]

While Ashley’s protective barrier had succeeded in shielding her and the twins from the torrent of flame, it proved much less effective against the arcs of lightning which shot up from the floor to crackle over their bodies. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Nngghh…!”[/color] the Knight of Tomorrow snarled through gritted teeth as the attack badly singed her flesh, although her adrenalin and rising fury allowed her to push through the worst of the pain. Indeed, to her utter incredulity, it soon became apparent that the most powerful attack at her disposal had been unable to make even a single scratch on the mech’s armor. [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]H-How do we even stop this thing?[/i][/color]

An instant later, the high-tech heroine was forced to leap backwards to avoid a massive slab of ice, while elsewhere in the chamber, giant fists continued to punch down from the ceiling. At least, until the four enormous hands tore the entire thing away to reveal a crimson-skinned behemoth, a creature MDF was only too happy to inform them was actually [i]Elroy[/i]. Regardless of whether the freelancer had been turned into this abomination, or if he had simply been inserted into it as a power source, like Faith, the fact remained that they now had [i]another[/i] exceedingly formidable opponent to contend with. Then again, perhaps they could use this to their advantage…

[color=MediumSpringGreen]“Cerberus! Paradise!”[/color] Ashley called over her earpiece even as she continued to shield the twins from further attacks. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Try to jump on the mech’s back and then piss the behemoth off enough for it to punch you.”[/color]

With any luck, its fists would actually be strong enough to breach the mech’s defenses. Of course, the pair would also have to jump clear before said punch could land, but that hopefully went without saying…
