>>6134259With a wordless snarl Galatea swings the giant tree at you in a diagonal overhead swing, which you dodge by leaning back to your left side as you twist clockwise, watching the ancient tree's bark narrowly miss you as it swings past. She swings it so fast, so powerfully that it creates almost a vacuum behind it, the air trying to draw you into the path it'd just gone through.
“Tch.” you exhale through clenched teeth, only to see her having already recovered, this time swinging the tree in a horizontal swing from her left, once more aimed right at you. So you drop a few feet through the air, continuing your movement by leaning back, again narrowly dodging the timber weapon. Flipping under it, however, you fully flip, planting your heels on the tree and kicking off it directly at Galatea. The extra force of your kick spins her a bit in the air, however she's learning. Using the momentum you gave her she doesn't try and stop it, instead spinning a full circle and bringing it back around from her left once more. So you flip once more, this time going over the attack and flipping forward. Watching the lumber club narrowly miss once more, finishing your flip and pouring all that momentum into your right heel, flipping forward into an absolutely devastating right axekick.
Your heel lands solidly on the top of Galatea's head, you feeling the shock reverberate through both your leg and your Energy Body. Slightly dampening the damage of your blow, but still carrying more than enough power to rock her. Instantly she drops the tree, her swing's momentum carrying it well clear of you and back towards the tree line as her body goes limp. Clearly knocked out by the strike, free falling towards the ground. Ubo moves to catch her, getting beneath her on the ground, yet to his and your surprise, she somehow recovers! Slowing her downward fall she gets her feet underneath her, landing softly on her feet and collapsing down to a knee. Hands on her head, not getting up. You drop down towards her and Ubo, your larger friend trying to talk to her and see if she's okay.
-ight? Can you hear me?” he's asking, only for her to reach up with her left, pressing a finger to his lips.
“Shhh. Loud. Hurts.” she says at barely above a whisper, you landing beside them. She turns, a hint of fear in her eyes before you power down, reverting to your base form before offering her a hand.
