[Aqua took a step back as it become blatantly obvious that simply attacking wasn't going to work. If she'd still had her magic, she would have turned to that to solve the problem. Since she didn't, and since she knew the shade was unlikely to walk into a trap given the way she'd reacted to Rarity's earlier attempt, it was time to turn to something else.

So with a deep breath she launched into one of the more acrobatically inspired attacks. With any luck it would prove more successful than her previous attacks.]
