<br/>
<i>So melee and magic ain't gonna do jack to this bastard. What now?</i> he thought. Then Palaios' note popped on screen. He nodded, staying low. Ne sent a quick note to Vector in hopes of getting a tag-type strike.<br/>

"Vector-San, there's a move I developed that might give you an edge in your next strike. It works by my ally leaning against the flat of my blades and using the force from the cross-swing to accelerate them to a point that rivals the speed of an archer's bow or a Steam Gunner's 'Plectra Bullet'. I don't know how well it'll work against this prick, but it's worth a shot. What do you say?"<br/>

As he waited for Vector's response, Takuya set his controller down and he cracked his knuckles in anticipation. This was the first time he'd be using this maneuver against a hacker like this guy, but his prior usage of the move had rarely failed to take a healthy chunk of HP from the target.</span>
