The song of the day today is "Philistine" from No More Heroes, this song has a haunting melody that is sung by Margaret Moonlight, a assassin obsessed with music dressed like a Gothic Lolita it's hard to explain the feelings you get listening to this and being in Margaret's presence yet it flows beautifully and effortlessly like a dream despite it's frantic and angry nature, the song touches upon the main character's lifestyle of desperately chasing women and being completely inept as he tries to get revenge for his friends murder.

                         Rose POV
"How could she be so powerful?!" Rose asked herself eyes wide in fear as she stared at the intruders flaming fist, Rose let go of her sword finding it impossible to reclaim, accepting the lose of her prized sword, now Rose found herself trying to dodge the intruders next attack, time slowed once more, this time for the scared soldier who jumped back as the intruder punched the air where she once stood, a large ball of fire shot from the intruders fist, keeping up with Rose as she flew through the air, Rose brought her shield up just in time to block the projectile fire, char covered the face of her shield, darkening the once transparent shield, when Rose lowered her shield she heard the intruder cackle "What are you going to do without your sword, soldier?!" the intruder mocked causing Rose to growl angrily, the intruder armed herself with Rose's sword taking it into her right hand, the blade turned a faint red, perhaps due to the intruders pyromantic abilities, with a explosion of anger, Rose rushed her opponent one last time taking the intruder by surprise as she made her approach she brought her hands together, tucking her arms to her right side, deciding to try and shield bash her opponent, the intruder Rose's Sword up preparing a diagonal slash to her charging opponent, Rose's shield connected to her blade as they connected, Rose's blade snapped down by hilt, the blade flew through the air it's red hue turned a bright orange sparking as it connected to the ground
                   
                        Ruby POV
Ruby flew through the air for a couple seconds before landing on her back, the hard impact knocked the wind out of her, following it was a knee in her stomach and that large gem screaming loudly in her face.
