Shield it!

Break Girl was carrying a shield for a reason, after all! If she didn't use it to stop big attacks like this, when would she? As soon as Buster Girl released her enormous plasma shot, Break Girl whipped her shield off her back and held it in ready position. She had just a second to think that she probably ought to enter combat this way in the future... Conceivably, she could even fire while remaining protected from this position.

Well, for a certain measure of protection: as soon as the charged shot connected with her shield, Break Girl let out a womanly shriek as she found herself letting go from the huge impact, her defensive tool spinning into the air and landing behind the fence. It had protected her, but she'd learned a valuable lesson... "It looks like my shield can guard a big hit, but if I can't hold onto it after that, I could be in big trouble. What if I don't have it when I need it? There could also be big attacks capable of tearing through it... O-or tricky attacks designed to go around it! Still, that was a close one... If I'd taken that shot head on, I'd be toast..."

"Your turn!" Buster Girl shouted, turning around and slapping her round bottom with one hand as she stuck out her tongue. "Hit me right here if you can! You won't see me using a lame shield like a cheater. If I'm not attacking, though, it'll be super easy for me to get out of the way, so don't count on it!"

"That overconfidence will be your end, Buster Girl. And my shield's not lame!" Break Girl grit her teeth in concentration. "Gotta think... At the very least, I think I can actually use my weapon now. What would be the best way to attack Buster Girl's cute butt- aaah, focus! To attack her and defeat her! She's probably right that if I fire a charge shot like she just did, she'll get out of the way. Maybe there's a trick I could use?"
