What is in a name? That which we call a rose...

To say that Moonblade's dose of alternate reality was abrupt was an understatement: For several seconds, Kae simply stood dumbfounded at what she had just witnessed, wiping the homunculus' purple specks of blood from her face in a daze. It was only their combined voices echoing up from the street below that she snapped out of it, rubbing away the stain of lifeblood between the friction of her thumb and forefinger with disappointment.
All that energy spent to ensnare him, and some doppelganger of his arrived in the nick of time to slap sense into him anyway! All she had to show for it was the creeping purple imprint spreading across her belly, and it needled her sorely. "Well fine then, be that way." Kae would just have to do this a different way - one that the parasite, for whatever odd reason, continued to actively resist becoming involved in. Already, it was trying to withdraw further, now reduced to a sling-like strap down her front and behind, the completely taut vines abloom with the rapidly blooming buds of roses.
That was fine. It had been a while since she had exerted the proper scope of her birthright.
She pitched herself off the roof for the second time, following close after the receding eddy of motion left by the pair of Moonblades careening through the dense fog bank. This time, she was ready for the landing, bending her legs elegantly into the impact on the street below and expending the rest of her energy into a brief tumble sideways... right next to the homunculus and his intimate entanglement with the hypesquad version of himself.
There was a brief moment of awkward eye contact as the rest of the people in the street made the sudden and correct decision to vacate the vicinity of these lunatics.
"Pardon." she quipped, and the air around them suddenly erupted in a vomit of pollen, green and yellow in an oversaturating burst around her that would set both clowns wheezing and sneezing uncontrollably, as well as blinding them for a few seconds. That should be enough time to stand up, torque to the right... and kick the real Moonblade directly in the side of the face with her four inch heel.
Kae was no softie, either - below her layer of appealing cushion were very real, athletic sinews just waiting to flex. It might not be quite as flashy as the mage's boot explosion, but she could kick like a mule too.
By any other name would smell as sweet!

[A Rose By Any Other Name] - Active! Perfuming the air with the pleasant smell of roses. Modified by [Pollinate].
Active Abilities:
[Pollinate] - show spoilerhide spoilerThe roses blooming across Kae’s body go into reproductive overdrive, spewing out a dense cloud of pollen in much the same way a mushroom would explosively release spores. The pollen is highly irritating, inducing strong histamine reactions in mammals, even ones that are normally not allergic to flower pollen. This includes teary, itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose, and hives and rashes on exposed skin. The expulsion is intense, but brief, obscuring vision for a few seconds before settling out of the air onto surrounding surfaces. The pollen persists indefinitely after settling, though after about 4 turns the pollen becomes inert and no longer causes new symptoms on re-exposure. Activated, 6t CD remaining!
[Drink It In] - Ended, 3t CD remaining.
[Corruption of Champions] - Ended! 6t CD remaining.
[Vine Lash] - None available.
Post Damage Summary/Reasoning
Kae is surprised by the chronostriker, but once she realizes what the heck happened, she dives after Moonblade, not content to let him just muck about after all that effort she just expended and all the pain she endured. She gives him the platform 9 3/4 special.
