The mob of Spectres was dispersing under the combined fire from Edward, Spike & Shiro, but then two Spectres dived at Shiro & took him down. Putting on another burst of speed, Edward dropped his P-90 seeing it was to risky to shoot at the Spectres so close to Shiro, & drew his knife. Lunging fowards he slammed the blade down at one of the Spectres and was rewarded by a spurt of more-or-less blood from the strange creature.
