They had certainly irritated the beast and stopped its halt, but none of the spikes had been forceful enough to pierce through the armored flesh of the Taijitu. Kakariki readied herself for a retaliation attack that didn't come - the snake had decided to retreat. Why? She hated runners as much as she hated running, but it was a foul necessity in her line of work. The shield maiden made ready to pursue when she felt something<em>woosh</em>behind her. To her surprise, saw Auro lifted like a chew toy off of the ground and into the air by the white head.<br/><br/><strong>"Right behind you!"</strong>Kari shouted as she raised her shield to point her blade towards the canopy of the forest. She clicked something inside and her chain blade sprung into action, whipping forward like a missile to embed itself into the thick trunk of one of the trees. The warrior clicked another release on the handle of her shield which would pull attempt to recoil the chain, and jumped as she was tugged upwards foot by precious foot to follow Auro into the sky. They had been working on instinct and for the weaker creatures, that had worked. For this, though? They probably needed a more focused effort to attack the beast.<br/><br/>The chain of Kakariki's blade ran at a diagonal behind the spine of the creature. She watched as the white head reached its zenith and began its downward descent with Auro still at its maw. The Faunus gave a mighty punch at the beast and used the force of his blow to propel himself upwards and off the white head and towards the damaged black head. Before the white counterpart would have a chance to recover, Kakariki would follow up with her own attack to give the creature a double whammy!<br/><br/>A press of a lever in the shield caused the blade embedded in the tree to loosen and retract. It was time to show off her strength!<br/><br/><em>BANG!</em><br/><br/>What was that? Kari was pulled upward by the momentum of her chain by another few feet which allowed her to match the height of the just-assaulted beast and rise behind him. As she floated momentarily in the air in that beautiful moment before gravity caught up with an object, another student appeared before her above the crown of her head. The Faunus was about to attack right where Kari had been planning to thrust her blade and the surprise of the near-disaster caused the shield maiden to hesitate and miss her chance at attacking the head. Realizing that she was about to loose her last opportunity to act at this height, Kari pulled back her elbow with a shout. Her green shield began to glow yellow and streaks of electricity crackled across the shield and seemed to condense at the tip of her blade - she had activated the dust within her weapon and then slammed the her blade forward with formidable force at the back of the Taijitu's body where the skull met the neck. Her heart fluttered in excitement as she exhausted her lungs with her battle cry.<br/>
