From the onset, Asch knew he was at a disadvantage. He'd only been around for a couple months, barely managing to obtain any particularly helpful skills at all. But this was a battle he couldn't help joining, and he wanted to do his part even if he'd barely manage to even scratch the surface. Time and again, he'd charge but wind up completely flattened. Then, by some miraculous virtue, he'd be revived by others' techniques.

So he'd continue to get up and face the enemy once again, no matter how difficult the struggle. Even if Chaos repeatedly sweeps the floor with him, Asch is going to keep trying.

This time, having been pushed well beyond his limits yet healed of previous injuries, he uses his Limit Break, Rending Saber. He'll be lucky if it does anything more than the useless nonexistent damage, but it's better than not trying at all.
