[Shulk]

Shulk repressed the urge to cheer when the Monado's beam sliced the mountain golem's arm clean off, the battle was far from over. Rin's encouragement managed to make him smile nonetheless, "keep it up! The fight's not over yet!" The Monado boy called back, before raising the sword in preparation for another downwards slash. The golem chose this time to make its fury known, and its shouts were so intense that Shulk stumbled back with his hands clasped firmly over his ears.

Though his ears were ringing, the sharp cut to silence was a clear indication of another vision.

The golem brought its remaining arm up to grab Rin's sword. In one swift motion, the monstrosity headbutted the boy, knocking him straight to the ground.

In the present, Shulk took off for the golem immediately. As his companion had already jumped, it was impossible to make it around the golem in time to cut off his other arm. The boy pulled the Monado back, then thrust it sharply at the golem's side. If the golem could feel pain, there was a chance to distract it again!
