Airi felt her wrist pinned, so she could not proceed with her planned. She had to think of something new, and quick. She still held onto Fateweaver's threads, and it seemed that Aurelia wanted Airi to retreat to her semblance. But the good thing about Airi's semblance was that it always gave her options. The time remnant was fast approaching. Time to put one of those options to use. Airi re-secured the thread to her gauntlet using the latch mechanism. Still gripping Fateweaver's threads with her gauntlet, she headbutt Aurelia. Again, this wasn't meant to particularly damage her opponent, but instead to give her something to focus on. The time remnant seemed to move faster than before.
Within a brief moment, the time remnant was nearly upon her. Immediately, Airi activated half of her dust reserves in her gauntlet, and channeled it through Fateweaver. Aurelia might have been putting weight on Airi's gauntlet, but that wouldn't stop her from using her semblance energy. The energy crackled as the various dust types mixed, under control only by Airi's aura as channeled through her gauntlet. Airi had no clear idea about what she was doing with the dust, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was that the dust creation was volatile. Airi, using her sword hand, gripped lightly at Aurelia's defending hand, not enough to seriously hinder Airi's grip of her weapon, but enough to slightly grip Aurelia's hand/fingers.
All of a sudden, Airi froze. The time remnant, accelerated by Airi, had caught up to her. She went into stasis, untouchable to the outside world. As Airi temporarily dissociated from the world, the agglomeration of activated dust energy previously kept in check by Airi channeling through her gauntlet exploded in a large release of energy. Airi, being in stasis, took no damage from the blast, but Aurelia, with her knee and torso over Airi's gauntlet, was exposed to the full brunt of the blast. Aurelia might have been able to maneuver her shield to protect her, but it was unlikely, given how close to the ground the two were, how large the shield was, and how Aurelia' was kept in place by the stasis thread and Airi's light stasis grip.
After several brief seconds, Airi exited stasis and pushed Aurelia off of her, before preparing to re-engage with her weapons, leaving no time for Aurelia to get a break after the dust explostion.
