[The first attack she parried. No way to parry this one.]
[The second attack she dodged. No way to dodge this one.]
[... at least she'll be able to make that physical contact.]
[She holds her arms outstretched, as if preparing to catch him like a giant beach ball. But muscle alone isn't enough to stop this much force, and he pushes both arms back and hits her squarely in the chest. She hears something crack, and a sharp pain in her chest, and she can't help but give a strangled cry as all the air is pushed out of her lungs from the impact.]
[And then she cuts herself off by gritting her teeth — whatever injuries she has can be healed when this is over — and grabbing hold onto his back.]
[It's a terrible position to be in. There's so much damage he can do just by plowing into more buildings. But is there a better spot to hold onto him?]
[And with both hands on him, she starts siphoning magic energy. It won't be enough to drain him completely, since that takes a few minutes even under normal circumstances, but anything she can start to drain off will make this battle more fair. The fusion, the blood magic, the self-healing, whatever Caster did that's driven him mad — she takes whatever the siphoning can pull out of him.]
