Maybe if it were any other time, he'd cringe given the way their first meeting went, but instead what washes over him was... no, not relief. That's not the right word, either. It's very real concern because she's surely seen what Elizabeth was capable of just now, right?

Okay kiddo, looks like you just maybe, got saved from your situation of distress. He opens his mouth, but then bites his lower lip and shakes his head. Out of his bag, Minato draws a potion that has thankfully not its contents entirely spill out from its cracked glass (though he mentally groans at the other things soaked in his bag), and gulps it down.

When he sighs, he says with resolve.

"... I'm not abandoning you to take her on by yourself."

He still believed fleeing was the more practical option, but, from the looks of things, Allenby had no intention to do so. And though the surrounding area had already mostly vacated, it was dangerous to let these Cursed Heroes wander around freely in this way.

The Cursed Elizabeth next summons the Persona Cu Chulainn, a long-haired figure with a spear. He stares at the Heroes intently, expression as soulless as his summoner's.

She knew what she could do as per her abilities in Aquares Ixen, not her home world.

"Good, then step up and tell me waht the hell she just did!" Personas hadn't been explained, and there wasn't a Deadpool around to call it a Stand either.

All the same, Allenby makes the first move to move in quickly and throw a strong right straight for Liz's stomach... a haymaker to know the wind out of her.

"I believe they were called 'Personas'. They're able to fight in the way you use Eidolons... but you can summon them again faster."

Also he had to kind of shoot himself, but it doesn't look like Elizabeth does. She merely did slow sweeps of her right arm then raised it, and they would come out; and she had more than one at her disposal. While he hasn't figured out the existing pattern to the usage of elements yet, it exists.

The Persona Cu Chullain turns to attempt to impale Allenby with his spear, but Minato tightens the grip on his wand; and the Blizzaga bonds his arm to the ground. In that second, Cu Chullain is silent, giving Minato a glimmer of hope this might be a fight they can win--before a simple, effortless yank bursts his arm and weapon out of the ice, and Minato shields his face from the scattering shards.

Elizabeth staggers from the blow that makes a perfect landing, but likely, not as much as would have been expected from any normal person. Her strange expression of amusement continues. Cu Chullain had again lifted his spear, and it was going to go down in the next second.

"...! Look out!"

Allenby was in full abuse of her power. For her, time seemed to slow down after the warning, allowing her to turn around, and weave out of the way. Her hands clench the spear and pull on it, bringing Cu Chullain close enough to also receive one of the Gundam Fighter's devastating haymakers.

But even if the first punch isn't an instant K.O., a second comes, then a third, a flurry of punches from one hand while she grips on the Persona's weapon.

One thing remains constant between Elizabeth and her Personas: while the Personas' movements are more natural even in their dramatics, neither them nor Elizabeth changed expression, even to fit the tone of battle. Cu Chullain's statue-like stare remains on Allenby, before dissolving after a final strike. And following this, another metallic, winged angel Persona manifests and takes its place above.

Minato flings a Thundaga above with a swift wand motion, and it blocks it with an arm, looking unaffected.

Even if they moved, and fought, Minato realized it didn't seem like they carried life on their own.

"I think... I think we should focus on Elizabeth-san! But the attacks come from her Personas so we should also stay on guard for what they do."

They have so far, also been only coming out one at a time. Damn, he really wished he had asked her more about these abilities when he had a proper chance to... even as contrived a reasoning it would be as having to fight against them in this whole separate world.
