((Sorry I haven't posted till now, I have been doing a lot Uni catchup work so I have been swamped))
Horo watched the machine before them for a moment, before looking at the sword she had been holding, wondering if, even with her new found strength, she would be able to do something to something of such great size. A moment later she would notice that the sword, which had just been a simple handle and long piece of sharp metal. Now it was of a more defined shape. It had gained a hilt, guard and a decorative pommel, which seemed to be a wolf's claw closed around an decorative metal orb. Horo was not aware at first, but because of the memories that she was beginning to share with Daniel, she realized the weapon was called a Zweihander. She tested the weight between her slender hands before sweeping it in a diagonal angle. She settled a moment then looked around for a moment, she could see the barrier Cat had created seemed to be flickering and fluctuating after the initial barrage. She looked then towards Cat, to see how the younger girl was doing. As she looked at in that direction, she noticed that there seemed to be yet another newcomer to the party, this one though seemed rather more frightening the others, she felt a cold chill down her spine as she looked at the newly transformed Maria.
She didn't have much time to make any remarks before the blast that had broken through Cat's barrier exploded nearby, sending the wolf-girl ducking away, covering her face with the strange long sleeves her outfit had gained since the transformations. A moment later she would look up, just in time to see Cat peform another rather fascinating power trick, as she watched the girl created a flying pony out of pure energy and seemed to fly off for to attack the Skull and the robot. Shielding her eyes with her hand as she watched Cat attack, but she didn't have much time to muse the situation before the shield shattered into pieces as the machine threw it's bulk against it the shield. As the shield vanished, she saw another the next incoming burst from the robot, but she was suddenly sent tumbling as the newly transformed Maria deflected one of the fighting machines that had been sent to attack them, but as it hit the ground, the shockwave sent her tumbling, though Horo was quick to recover this time, getting to her feet quickly, as another one of them, which had seemed to bypass the now flying Maria flew in close. Horo held onto her sword tightly, waiting till the Mobile weapon came in close to attack, then she sprung forward, grabbing a protruding part of the mobile weapon and hauled herself onto it. She was still rather surprised at how strong she had become.
As she hauled herself up, to stand ontop of the flying machine in a precarious manner, she took the zweihander she seemed to have been given along with the new found strength and drove the blade point downwards, towards an area that seemed important. Sure enough, with some loud cracks of eletricity and grinding of machine, the mobile weapon started to twitch and shudder. Leaning forward a little she grabbed onto the machine with her free hand and pulled and tugged, so it was now directed towards the advancing ground of Apple Zombies. Even from here, she could still get the scent that there were proper, full humans among the ground, but they were a threat. Directing the damaged, malfunctioning flying machine towards the nearest of the advancing zombies, she would force it downwards, towards them, riding it closer and closer, until leaping off the machine at the last moment as it sheared through the advancing ground, until it slide to a stop and exploded moments later. Though it seemed to have some effect on the advancing ground, Horo was more than a little shocked to see how relentless though seemed to be. Still, she prefered being down on the ground like this, she couldn't fly, nor would she really wish to, so she would assist her allies by trying to hold back the tide of Apple Zombies for as long possible. Taking the sword once more into both of her slender, though rather strong hands, she would leap forth into the fray, lashing out left and right at the Apple Zombies, trying to drive them back with broad sweeps of the blade.
