Edward wasted no time clapping his hands the second he saw Agito start moving, anticipating some sort of attack from the bladed AT. He'd never seen the blue-haired boy fight, but it would take an idiot not to realize that they would be his main offensive force considering how seriously everyone from his world took the skates. Agito was also fast, but so was Hitsugaya and the older blonde had trained with the shinigami for far too long to let something like that stop him.
Dropping the leg he'd initially grabbed, Edward fell back just barely and reached up for the boy's other leg, only needing to make contact to set off the transmutation that would flatten the blades on his AT.
