While the cowboy to Ashley’s left was able to barely dodge her energy bolt, the quartet on her right weren’t so fortunate, and soon found themselves at the heart of a powerful detonation. Whether or not she had actually killed some of them was immaterial to the Knight of Tomorrow, at least for the moment. The only thing that really mattered right now was that the schoolgirls had a clear path to the exit and were making use of it. Thankfully, Finn was able to assist in ushering them out of the building, at least until Dante rushed him… As if that wasn’t bad enough, a quick glance to the far side of the diner revealed that the robed bikers were putting the finishing touches on what promised to be a truly devastating spell, at least if its appearance was anything to go by...

Yet, Ashley would soon have more immediate concerns to deal with, as Dante sent Finn reeling, before turning his fury upon [i]her[/i]. Before she knew what was happening, the Knight of Tomorrow’s feet were swept out from under her, causing the high-tech heroine to fall on her back. An instant later, Dante’s burly form was looming over her, his massive hammer pulled back in preparation for a mighty blow. There was no time, or room, to dodge out of the way, and so, reacting on instinct, Ashley raised her shield to block the impending strike. The semi-transparent disc of neon green energy began rapidly glowing brighter, and [i]growing[/i] larger, as techno-arcane power was pumped into it, multi-layered barriers of hard light imposing themselves between the shield’s surface and the inevitable impact. The Knight of Tomorrow only hoped that this augmentation would allow it to withstand Dante’s attack, and that Finn would take advantage of the sandman’s brief moment of vulnerability to strike him from behind…
