If Vicky was in the Flynns' place, handing initiative over to her would have probably ended in a quick attempt at eradication. It seemed like there would be a stalemate for now, and hopefully if noone did anything stupid, Ed would not notice they stopped fighting and intervene for long enough for her and Ultron to find their way out of the simulation.

In fact, the way things were going, she was starting to come off combat high and calm down. Something Ultron was in fact highlighting as a potential concern.

It wasn't wrong. The chance of occurrence of death did not drop just because she was not being attacked at the moment, and Arcade might very well notice she stopped attacking and seek to mitigate that issue. And with that realization, the calmness went away just as quickly. There was one explanation: Outside influence. And with that came potential for more problems, given how well messing with the game's source worked so far.

Sure enough, there came another attempt, and this time, the game did not like it one bit. Victoria felt like she would momentarily turn inside out, and then she literally seemed to split in two beings. There were ups and downs to it. The up was that with the split, the malicious code ordering her to kill was gone, which was a relief and a half. The down was related to an apparently dark version of herself leaping at her with a blade drawn. By virtue of being prepared for an attack, Victoria managed to dodge the blade, but was blasted by a water jet for her efforts. Still. Over under, her situation improved. [color=00ffff]"I'm fine, and it looks like I have free will back, so thanks, if that's your doing."[/color]

This was getting them nowhere though. Even if they defeated her dark mirror, she bet they would just load into another game. Likewise, she was reluctant to try hacking her way out again, with the trap malware waiting for her. But... recalling their training sessions, Edward did always have a backdoor installed in the framework. Would he omit to remove it for this? She was willing to take that chance. Beating him by using his own tool against him might be the only way to get out of this mess. [color=00ffff]"I'm going to try something, if you get any opportunity to strike, take it!"[/color] With that, she ran at her dark mirror, focusing on surviving and getting close rather than landing a hit of her own, that wasn't the plan.

It sort of worked, as she found herself getting choked by her dark twin. It worked for her purpose though. [color=00ffff]"Choke on this! Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start."[/color] she quickly said, touching the chest of her dark twin. If her hypothesis was right, this should activate some kind of override, like turning the target into a mech.
