Nero grunted and groaned as he strained to hold the harpy back from drilling his body into the ground. His legs and elbows were locked in place, but the harpy didn't seem to be slowing down at all. Nero's hands were beginning to burn as the harpy's attack rubbed against them.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Fool. If you had finished her when I told you too you wouldn't be in this predicament.</span><br/>"Shutup." Nero snapped back. "Getting lectures from you is the last thing I need right now.

His legs shook as they tried to counterbalance this new position. With his free hand, Nero began to charge a black energy sphere to launch at the harpy from point blank range. However, a sudden momentum thrust from Kree, shifted Nero's balance once more and he was brought to one knee, the energy sphere fluctuating in size slightly because of it.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Heh. I'm not sure if you'll be able to hold her back long enough in time.</span>
