As if to answer her question, the unicorn's horn suddenly glowed with a red, arcane light, and an enormous conjured harpoon hurtled towards the recovering batpony. She raised her wing-blades and her forehoof-blades to block it, and there was a tremendous clong as the harpoon dissipated against her weapons, but nonetheless the sheer force of the impact sent her tumbling back, almost to the edge of the ring. It took Ebonshield a second to struggle back to her hooves, panting heavily, but she managed it just as the unicorn's horn lit up once more. This time, there was no chance of blocking, so she took to the air, sinuously wiggling up like a snake.
