"Your mine!" Francis shouted as the Dom readied to slash the Canard "I-I can’t see…!" Asuna Elmarit. Asuna!! Did the controls switch to synchro mode? Release your controls! The coms said to her. The canards shield blocked the blade arm of the Dom keeping it from going any further. The canard unsheathed It’s own saber and slashed at the Dom. Francis dodged the blow “Damn this pilot!" "Fool! If you can’t fight them don’t try to play hero! Once I recover Shinn…I’ll head over to you. Until then I’ll handle this by remote!" The Dom and the Canards sabers locked The students on the ship observed the fight “By remote…?” “Whoa!” “Asuna…” Emilu muttered “Saved by the synchro mode, what a loser” Kerry said But if she hadn't hesitated out there… this’d be over by now!! This naïveté…it’s dangerous! Erisia thought. “You’re mine! Thomas!” The Dom raised its arms for another blow This is really on remote? I can’t see his hands, right or left which one’s it…coming from?! Asuna dodged a particle beam from behind [i]A feint?! Here comes the next![/i] She dodged again? "Why that!!" “?” The Canards weapon was on a different arm [i]When’d they switch to the left?![/i] The sword arm of the Dom’s was completely cut off [i]That pilot…they saw trough my double attack and my left cut…they’re legit. A real…Newtype.[/i] Asuna was panting in her cockpit [i]Something like a monster… Something feels wrong..I’m feeling what I felt that one time during training[/i] “Don’t drop your guard Asuna!” Suddenly a Kampfer appeared and locked blades with the Canard “Not bad at all…dear Asuna.” “…..? Akira?” “Let’s withdraw Francis” “Eh?” “We’ll job description said pick up. So I guess my jobs done. We’ll have more fun later anyway when there’s more of them.”
