((OOC: Okay, thanks, Tigerhawk. BTW, I am fighting the Bat Undead.))
((OOC: Alright Tiger, I am leaving the defeat of the Bat Undead to you. You can control my character, just have him do the Hishouzan/Final Vent.))
(OOC: Sorry! I got mixed up on the undead. *rereads your first post* /facepalm! You said it right... yeah... sorry. Oh. Hayley doesn't 'place' her belt around her waist (like a normal rider) it appears on mental command.))
R-Hayley continued to fire seemingly random shots at the undead. Though in fact the shots weren't random at all. They were carefully timed to coincide with Knights break in attacks. R-Hayleys view of the world via the visor was, as she'd been told by others, 'unique' and 'weird' though she couldn't remember who or how they'd seen the world through her vision.
Multiple images of the area around her, all connected and yet separate, made up Rei's vision that was constantly changing. She could instantly zoom in or out on a certain spot. Only Radulf and Drake used this view strategically, Babur usually relied on it to stop himself from attacking an ally during the frenzy of battle and Attor... he didn't care about anyone else getting hurt.
R-Hayley had been using it to keep focus both on Knight and the Bat. A sudden movement from an area behind him almost had Rei turn to fire, but a quick search revealed it wasn't an enemy but a beast summoned by the rider. "Shall we finish it?" R-Hayley asked calmly as Knight nodded and inserted a card into his device. Swiping the pass at the same moment caused "Final Vent" and [Soul Charge] to be announced.
Knight's bat beast flew alongside him as ran toward the undead. Leaping into the air the bat became a cape, carrying him far higher into the air. Knight vanished as the cape wrapped around him and began spinning, forming a high speed drill of sorts.
Nailing the undead with a direct hit, Knight suddenly reappeared on the other side of it, his beast gone. The undead staggered and exploded, though it didn't vanish but laid still, it's belt opening.
It would seem that Rei hadn't done anything, though the gun had obviously been charged. A glance at the rider revealed the energy was gone.
It was during Knights ascent that R-Hayley shifted a piece of his gun around, forming a third barrel on his shotgun. Energy from the belt formed separate 'bullets' for each barrel. As Knight descended Rei fired one bullet, which was perfectly timed, and attached itself to the tip of Knights attack. A quick double pull of the trigger fired the remaining shots, both circling and hitting the undead on either side as Knight connected.
Rei walked over to the undead and holding a strange card, that they'd been given by the Owner, dropped it on the undead. The creature vanished, sucked into the card. Rei walked over to Knight and bowed.
"It was a pleasure" He said calmly as the transformation shattered and Radulf suddenly appeared next to Hayley. "To fight with someone as well versed in the art of combat as you." The wolf imagin finished offering a friendly smile. Hayley held the card and frowned at it.

Elsewhere, Shanti took a step back at the sight of IXA and another as it was revealed to be Will using it. "You... you're... alive?" She stammered, returning to human form, tears in her eyes. "I..." Try as she might, Shanti couldn't form the words to tell him how sorry she was. No words existed that could explain how she felt at that moment, her blade covered in his blood, sensing an undead and just walking away... leaving him... dead, or so she thought. She hated herself, hated Joker, hated everything in this damn world of Blades more than she could safely express.
Holding her blood covered arm, Shanti turned away from Will. "I... I..." She tried again but failed. "I'm sorry" wasn't nearly enough given what she done. So she was trapped in silence. Terrified to look at him and see the hatred burning in his eyes. She could only stand stiffly, gripping her arm tight enough to snap it, and breathe, though just barely.

(OOC: Hope this is ok with you Artic. Rei had never seen Knights Final Attack heh
EDIT: Added my response to DK's post... which I didn't see before for some reason /sigh. Sorry DK.)
