The attacks coming in dazed Nero, almost cracking into the walls of her own ego. She staggered back and took around to recover, but all that about divine power? That was too much. She flashed bright pink, a nimbus of power blazing up around her.

"You're naught but a thief! Die, Cur!"

She launches herself forward once more, leaping into the air and summoning her Rapidash. The fiery horse caught her easily, and since Nero was pretty short...she didn't hit the roof. Whew.

"Ride him down, Sextus!"

And forward the Pokemon went, coming in for a Flare Blitz, while Nero herself struck out with another Critical Enhancing Red Flash. Her aim wasn't on the Emperor's main body though, but rather on the hands reaching for Rose. Maybe she couldn't kill him in a single strike, but she could hopefully stop him from hurting anyone else. That was the right thing to do. Protect one's soldiers where one could.
