	Splendidly might have been an exaggeration on Karin’s part. The battle was beginning to wear both of them down. Fortunately, the Seekers were relieved when Hayato arrived, turning into a bestial form of incredible strength to turn the tides in their favor. 

	This, of course, prompted their true foe to turn into a giant purple three-masked monster. After forcing the clones to eliminate each other, which earned a startled gasp from Sakura and a disapproving raised eyebrow from Karin. 

Sakura turned to face the giant monster. [color=f49ac2]”Why do you crazies always ramble about your stupid motivations when you’re trying to kill people…?”[/color] Sakura asked herself, a bead of sweat rolling down her face.

[color=fff200]”Hmmph.”[/color] Karin narrowed her eyes. It was like Jena all over again. Giant monster. Floating platforms. With her grapple hook, she could maneuver and strike Consul Y, hit-and-run style.

Sakura stayed behind on the ground. [color=f49ac2]”Overdrive Ostritch”[/color] She called out, and her new Spirit appeared at her side. It began chucking its Sonic Booms, or rather, Sonic Slicer, but Sakura just thought of Guile when she saw them. 

Sakura charged up a big hadoken, and began lobbing them like artillery shells. Since this target was so big, she sacrificed speed for damage and size. They travelled through the air at a sprinters pace and exploded on impact.

Karin meanwhile hooked up to a floating platform and then leapt to another one. She would have to be careful not to fall. She tried to threaten Consul Y with her presence, baiting him into swatting at her so she could avoid it and take the heat off her teammates.

If he didn’t, then she would grapple to his right most mask and slam into it with a kick, before pushing off with a powerful impact that would send her flying back to hook back to the bridge and to safety, before repeating the process.
