"Oy." A familiar voice called from the bushes. The crackling roar of the flames grew louder, louder. The flames were rapidly approaching behind her as she emerged from the trees, an eerily calm smile plastered across her features... her face illuminated by the amber glow. With a series of beeps, the twin drones hopped out from the bushes. One skittered up to stand at Alexa's left side, while the other took the right. "Some fancy flyin' there, slick." Now just standing a few feet away from the battered and beaten pony, she chuckled softly as the branches whipped around violently in the breeze, burning hunks of wood toppling over and popping, releasing flurries of embers into the air, swirling around her like a luminous bizzard. Yet still, despite the blaze, she stood still. "Not too shabby for our first fight either, I'd say." Slowly, she raised a massive metal claw, but-- she did not swing it down and swiftly end the pony's life.
Instead, she kneeled down, gently brushing a single finger over the horse's blood-soaked mane, as though attempting to calm them down. A rather unsual, yet kind move for someone to perform on somebody they were supposed to pretend was their sworn enemy for the next few minutes. "In fact, I'd say you've done a swell job, and it was a pleasure getting the chance to meet'cha... perhaps we'll see eachother at the tournament sometime..." Bowing her head respectively, she slid shut her golden orbs as she raised herself to her feet, backing up to stand between the twin spider drones once more. With the flames at her heels, now, she raised her hand to perform a little salute, with a smile as warm as the Blackforge Rift itself. "Stay gold, friend." was all she said before snapping her fingers.
With a whistle, the drones opened fire.
