Oooooh, the counterattack begins....



Beat 5:

A t (d|H) O O m O

Heketch - 20/20
ARIA - 14/20

ARIA uses Special Burst to PULSE!
Heketch's Assassin Burst is discarded!

A flash of light blinds Heketch as ARIA strategically knocks Heketch into a favorable position for her droids:

O (t|H) (A|d) O O m O

ARIA combos with Photovoltaic Strike (1-3 3 4)! ARIA's droids whirr and beep around her, as she recalls them back to her supply. Returning to her, the tesla cannon attached to her arm powers up significantly...striking Heketch at point blank range for a whopping 6 damage!

Heketch falls to his knees. He is not laughing anymore.

ARIA sets down a Magnetron as an added precaution. Her Special is discarded.


Beat 6:

O (H) (A|m) O O O O

Heketch - 14/20
ARIA - 14/20

Uhhh...Error?

[spoiler=][Ionic Drive. Pull Heketch one space towards the droid. Advance one space.][/spoiler]

lol, I just realized that Heketch's Dark Force is a token to be Ante'd, and not something that can ever appear on the board like Aria's Drones.



Beat 6:

O (H) (A|m) O O O O

Heketch - 14/20
ARIA - 14/20


ARIA's Magnetron droid releases a shockwave. Heketch is disoriented and his Priority reduced to 3.

Heketch uses Rasping Strike 1-2 3 3 SG5
ARIA uses Ionic Drive 1-2 3 5

ARIA goes first!

The Magnetron continues to whirr and wail as it lights up and sends Heketch flying towards it.
ARIA uses the slingshot effect and dashes towards Heketch, slamming a steel baton down his clavicle for 3 damage.

But Heketch telegraphs the attack, and is not stunned by the assault. He grits his teeth and immediately catches ARIA off-guard, slashing her with reckless abandon for 3 Damage.

"THIS IS THE TRUE POWER OF MY DARKNESS!" Heketch yells, as the claws also gash a dimensional darkness that seeps through in that same moment. ARIA falls to her knees as the Dark Force leeches into her systems, taking another 3 damage.

In addition, Heketch stands tall. Just as the darkness forces her to suffer, does it make him stronger in turn. Heketch gains 3 health.

Heketch loses his Dark Force token.


Beat 7:

O O (m) (H) (A) O O

Heketch - 14/20 (no df)
ARIA - 8/20

lolerror where are you

[spoiler=][Laser Dash - 3 steps to the left][/spoiler]

Hew, waiting on you now.

Oh yeah, sure. Error can take his sweet time but I can't lol.




Beat 7:

O O (m) (H) (A) O O

Heketch - 14/20 (no df)
ARIA - 8/20


ARIA uses LASER DASH! (Prio 9) She moves 3 spaces past her opponent while distracting him with blinding lasers.
ARIA rests on the edge of the arena only to feel a slight tinge...blood started trickling down the side of her thighs as she felt uneasy from an aura of despair for 2 life loss.

As it turns out, Heketch's Merciless Knives inflicted a dark curse as she had passed by. Ever the sadist.
The tiny bit of sacrifice was enough to give Heketch his much needed reprieve, as the Darkness returns to him in full force! Dark Force Token regained!

Note: If you're confused Error, Heketch's Merciless Style is a "Loss Life" effect, and not a Damage on Hit effect. Dashing prevents you being hit by your opponent but Merciless trigger a Loss Life if the opponent moves past Heketch.


Beat 8:

(A) O (m) (H) O O O

Heketch - 14/20 (DF regained)
ARIA - 6/20
