I could still use my hands. 03 was only holding me by the wrists. I called forth a big, powerful celestial spirit. It manifested in an angelic form in an unoccupied space right next to us on the ground. 03 could not see it until it attacked first. This corporeal form was a bit androgynous with large wings. When I casted the large spell, the mana I had left was totally depleted. The opportunity was there to choose either an Avenger or Defender when summoning it here. My choice determined the angel's attacks and abilities. The angel would disappear when it drops to 0 hit points or the spell ends. Hopefully, that could buy me some good time and get some space between me and a domineering 03. I was not giving in. I saw as it looked down at us. He looked ready to spring into action to help. It obeys my verbal commands when I give them. If you don't issue any, it would take the Dodge action and use its moves to avoid danger. I needed someone to defend me right now, so I choose their Defender variant. He had a radiant mace at the ready. "Help me out! Beat up 03, but do not kill him." I said out loud.
03 still could not perceive the celestial being right next to him. He just narrowed his eyes at me. "What are you talking abou-" was all he got out before the celestial being bashed him in the head twice with the mace. 03 just looked up at him in total shock and disbelief. "What!? Where did you-" he tried to speak before he got blasted in the ribs twice. 03 was now forced to get off of me. I shot up to my feet, but collapsed. I still had the giant hole in my knee keeping me from moving as I normally would. The celestial being came over and pat me on the head. He healed me and while I was not back to full health, my leg was better. "How where you able to hid them from me!? I know he was not here at the beginning of the fight. All my senses were focused on the whole dojo, even during combat. It is impossible to sneak up on me like that!" he snapped, pointing to the celestial being. I wiggled my fingers. "I already told you about my magic. You should have immobilized my fingers." I pointed at 03. "Attack 03 for me while I get my full mana back." I ordered. The celestial being nodded and charged him.
The celestial defender did it's job and kept 03 busy. It could fly around the dojo and attack with the radiant mace. 03 still had all of his weapons. By the time, 03 was able to kill the celestial being, he had used up his bullets and was in a critical state in terms of his remaining health. I was able to heal myself all the way back to full health. It was time to end this. "Looks like it's time to continue. Let's go 03." I said with a smug grin on my face. "You never fight fair, do you Brianne?" he asked. I scoffed at the question. "With how strong you are? Of course I can't. I can't make a plasma cannon appear by flexing my abs like you can 03. That doesn't mean I'm so weak that you can dominate me without really working for it." "But 01 did it." 03 protested. "01 had to literally pour a drug down my throat." I shot back. He just looked at me. "I still kick his ass in every fight we have. Now are you going to give up or are we going to fight until you're satisfied?" I asked. I watched as he pouted and turned his back to me. I walked up to him and placed my hand on his left shoulder. "It was a good fight." I told him.
