As far as Aqua was concerned, it was one thing to say to use the Elements and quite another to actually use them. Celestia had told her enough to indicate that her Element was somehow going to be the keystone to them all, but could she manage that, when she hardly knew anything about some of the others? She'd fought alongside Kanji the once, and knew both Rarity and Pinkie Pie at least tolerably well, but she knew very little at all about the other two elements. Certainly not enough to feel terribly confident about what she was supposed to be doing with it.

And what if she couldn't manage? What if the time she'd spent in the Darkness had somehow limited her ability to pull this off?

She didn't have much time to dwell on it, as Celestia abruptly appeared before her. If there were people willing to all but put themselves in harm's way for her sake - or for the sake of what she bore - then she owed it to them to do her very best. Her doubts about didn't need to come into it. All the same, combat was not precisely the best of times to try and figure the whole mess. She'd only ever managed a D-Link with one person, and if she was right, this might end up being something like trying with six people.

She can't resist the call to song either, even as she sends her Spirits to watch for any attacks that might come at either Pinkie or Rarity.

"It won't be easy; we have to find a way,
For each of us has our part to play,
The heart's well-versed
The heart will know,
But we've not rehearsed
And here's the show!"

Something bound to make things somewhat problematic in the long run, but maybe that was something Aqua could do something about, and the music shifted back to something closer to the slow calmness of Celestia's verse.

"Take a breath, step back, relax.
The power's there, will come when asked.
Remember it in the finding.
Honesty, friendship, loyalty, trust,
That's the truth of the binding
All together to do what we must."
