Ally usually wasn't in the titanium form this much, and she could feel it taking a toll on her body and energy.  Usually she would just walk around a bit in the form for a few minutes at max.  Never had she had to be in the form this long and use so much energy.

The manhole cover hit the demon on the back of its head and Ally phased out of her titanium form just as the creature shifted its attention to her.  [i]What?
 No!  I can't lose it yet, not right now![/i] she urged herself in her head as the demon raced closer.  It swung, and she returned to her titanium form.  There was no way for her to dodge.  She threw her arms up over her head and was hit.  The club smashed into her arm, the spear scraped along her ribs.

Ally shouted out in pain, but knew this would be her chance.  After an attack, an enemy would be open for a counter.  [i]This is my chance![/i]  Quickly, trying her best to ignore the pain, she ducked under the arms of the demon and got him in a blast double- a move she preferred when practicing wrestling takedowns.  The young woman got the demon onto its back, her on top.  She clenched her fists together and began to pound her fists into the demon.  [i]This is what should've happened to Percy!  This is what I should've done![/i]

As she hit the demon, her form lost itself and she began to flash in and out of her metal and flesh forms.  Some punches were hit with a titanium fist, others with her human fist.  Ally couldn't be sure what would happen if she was hit in her human form, but she didn't want to find out.  With each flash into her human state, she felt the pain grow in intensity more and more.
