Fury burned through her like a high voltage wire, whipping against her bones and igniting her blood. The sensation born of the knowledge that this companion was indeed cast into the fight for blood, made Ampere irrational. Her high wattage emotions on top of an extremely empty stomach made her reactions careless and stupid. Like so many other moments before this, Ampere let herself get swept away in the tide, and in doing so, lost her footing.

Like a wounded snake Ampere's jaws snapped back suddenly, senses prickling with recognition of electricity. It hummed along the girl's flesh, and Ampere knew better than to test its bite. Committed to her momentum however, the retraction of it sends the power spasming back through her muscles, twinging one in her neck. It would make more reaches painful for the rest of the fight, but would not debilitate the movement of her nape, though she might think twice about biting again. Less observed, but still notable, was the skin her teeth sheared away from her own tongue in her haste. Blood pooled in her mouth, slung free as she pivoted away from the damn horn.

The idiocy didn't end however. Spurned by her first failure, Ampere continued to grow aggravated by her opponent, and utterly failed at managing to pierce or batter Nyx with knife or body. Instead, Ampere dropped her assault, knives stuttering into the grass while her hooves carved it away, purchase easily found in the Thistle's folds. With nary a hair to spare, Ampere just leaped out of the way of the lion's paws, and thus, Nyx's legs too. Stout and well muscled with training, Ampere had enough agility and strength to bridle her attack power and divert it into an evasive maneuver instead; just another benefit of her sweet ass. No matter the cause or the situation, the Mother of Companions refused to hurt any bonded creature.

Even now, in the heat of battle, with her heart wildly singing in her throat instead of her chest, Ampere resisted the urge to kick out with her hind feet in defensive retaliation. It would have been a natural reaction, and a wise choice, in the likely event that the lion or his mistress should be in pursuit. "FUCK!" she rasped out somewhere amid her flurry of heartbeats, leaning into her right lead as she ran forward and aimed to arch around, back towards where Nyx had been and the lion would not be. Nyx would likely move however, especially considering Ampere gave herself wide room to run, trying to be sure to avoid the lion and knowing she had the endurance to pelt out such a track. Fury pulsed in the frogs of her feet with each stride, and in response her breaths blew out hot and hard, keeping her quick tempo as she stormed the storm queen.

"FUCK YOU!" Ampere spat as she attempted to draw near, a trail of blue sparks lifted in her wake as dead grasses and meadow were trampled and broken apart. The withered plant material found new life as her magic coaxed it into its pure form of energy. Small blue spheres of electrical origin hummed and pulsed together as they merged into one cohesive unit, working themselves into the likeness of a lion behind her. Ampere huffed, sweat staining her neck line and exhaustion settling in her bones as her body screamed for food to satiate all this energy she was expending. Later she snarled at her own weaknesses, wings extending, the left one wincing and dragging a bit behind, but functioning as she flapped them. Headed towards Nyx, wings pumped, feet pushed her up, up, up! Ampere leaped into the wild arms of the wind, her weight cast upon her wings after a final shove of her feet. She should be too far to strike Nyx, and thus hopefully was too far to be hit by Nyx. She was mostly going for dramatic flare, one of her finer points, and hopefully it helped hide the lightning lion behind her body until the last moment, so that she might distract her electric foe.

The blue lion had been hot on Ampere's heels and as she rose it ran straight, teeth agape in a silent roar as it intended to collide into Nyx's right side (or whichever was closest). Whether it made contact or not, it'd fizzle out; Ampere's focus was aimed elsewhere now. Swooping around once she steadied her flight, Ampere came in for a low crop dusting sweep over Nyx. The black tail lifted and Ampere sneered as she aimed to drop fresh dung upon Nyx. "A nice shit stain to match the crappy life you gave Dominus!" Ampere called out raucously.
