Daisy beheaded the first soldier that came close to her, and fired a couple of volleys as she followed Tazendra.

Spartan senses had been guiding her. There was a sense much alike Tazendra's, a thrill of battle and a high morale in spite of knowing the dangers of such situation -or rather, because of the dangers-.

This was no longer her world, nor Luceti, but as Daisy shot rounds over the ground to form ice to slide through, she immediately stopped next to Tazendra, digging her blade on the floor.

"Tazendra..." she perked her head up, "ever heard... of the giant of the Battle of Stanford Bridge?"

[fearlessherosheart]

"I have not," Tazendra admitted. "What is this tale?"

Because she had to assume it was relevant, if Daisy was bringing it up. She kept her guard up, but let her offense slow enough that she could listen and speak. Still, she was keeping an eye out for another mass of soldiers that would require her full attention.

"The viking giant," Daisy paused to shoot at a pair of stragglers, "stood at the front of his fellow forces on the tight bridge, against the english forces."

She ran forward and crouched, weapon laying over her knee as she took aim, "he alone resisted the entire onslaught, killed forty englishmen on his rampage..." She opened both eyes, as she eyed somebody in the distance. "But then... Someone sneaked from below him, holding a lance, and moved just below the bridge."

A crack that resembled a thunder came out from her weapon.

"And killed him. In that moment, the entire viking force crumbled, and the english pushed forward, ending in a defeat for the vikings." She rose again with her blade ready, raised over her head, "all, because they relied too much on one point to attack, and the enemy flanked him."

[fearlessherosheart]

Tazendra listened, trying to make the connection. She was generally not a subtle person, causing many to think she was stupid. "Then you suggest, if I am not to be flanked, I should enlist the aid of allies? That is an excellent idea!"

[daisy023]

"Recruiting others, and avoid flanking!" She tore apart an enemy like a helicopter blade. Daisy turned to Tazendra. "We are their targets, the Heroes of Light. Especially if we are separated, we will be a bigger target for them to take on, and destroy the rest of the defenses of the city."

Two bullets hung between her fingers that she loaded into her gunblade, clicking as the barrel clicked back in place.

"That, and we stick at a medium distance, capable of getting a higher visibility range and killing those that we may have troubles fighting by ourselves."

Then, in a strange gesture, Daisy smiles.

"That way, they won't survive with two giants."

[fearlessherosheart]

"That nearly sounds like a plan! I approve it!" Tazendra swung her own sword, partially to give herself some space, then cast a Blizzaga spell. With such numbers as the Herans were offering, she saw no need to hold back to keep the challenge.

[daisy023]

Daisy immediately rushed forward with a swirling blade meant to both bisect, behead, or dismember opponents all around them in that very moment of weakness, firing with a precision far too practice in her world with her gunblade and robe.

More as if she was shooting ducks to drive them away and kill whatever officers they had organizing them before they did.

And the moment they come against her, she blasts herself backwards with the momentum of her gun as her feet slide against the concrete, letting Tazendra have a go.

[fearlessherosheart]

Which Tazendra is quite happy to do; she was saving her spellpower for assisting Daisy and discouraging any sort of organization, but she was quite willing and able to use her blade on those who got within melee range. Hers was ordinary steel, but it served well enough.

She kept an eye on Daisy and the flow of battle, to return her companion to the active role when it seemed appropriate.
