"Gyah!" Kimi cried out as something hit her from the side and threw her to the ground. Up became down, left turned to right, and the small girl's senses were were distorted by all three dimensions. Over and over... her body and... something else tumbled repeatedly. "Ugh..." She groaned, finally coming to a stop. Her cheek was pressed flat against something and as she opened her eyes, she saw her hand and wriggled her fingers. Okay, she was... conscious. She shook her head, pushing herself up with her hands slightly. "What?" The last thing she remembered, she was just about to unfreeze from using a sword skill and was going to retract her blade. So... What hit he-

She cried out in terror, "[I]What are you doing lying under me?![/I]" She shouted out, closing her fist and bringing it down on his chest. It looked like every ounce of blood in her veins had run directly to her face. "Are you some kind of... pervert?" The girl asked before looking down and seeing... Oh god, why was she straddling his upper abdomen? He'd tackled her off of the worm? What kind of idiot... "Baka!" She shouted before she was yanked off of the other boy by Jason. "J-Jason, what are [I]you[/I] doi-" She was about to ask before having a potion thrust into her hands. She started to drink it, "Wait, what are you planning to..." An expression of pure horror came across her face, botching the pronunciation of Jason's suggestion with more vowels than it needed.

It was mere moments before she found out exactly what he meant. At the top of her lungs, she screamed out, activating a very extraordinary single-hit rapier sword skill <<Flashing Penatrator.>> "I'm going to kill every single guy in this damned room!!" Her voice rang throughout almost the entire desert as she flew directly through the worm. She came out the other end and landed on the other side of the mob, her feet slamming into the ground as they sent her sliding several metres forward until her momentum died. She slashed the air with her rapier and spun on her heel, preparing for the next attack. Nero was already on it however. He'd been waiting through the events of the last round, waiting for the very last second to release his <<Vorpal Strike.>> His blade had directly lined up into the beast's already cut-up midsection, slicing it cleanly in half with the skill extending the effective range of his blade.

As the monster disappeared, Nero noticed he had received an item labeled <<Ice Crystal.>> Curious object, that... He'd have to see if Yuna knew anything about it. He'd also been granted a bonus for getting the last hit on such a powerful opponent, it was just material for gear. More for Yuna to look at, he supposed. Kimi on the other hand, found something labeled <<Lightning Crystal>> in her loot rewards. Whatever it was, she assumed it was powerful. Once everything called down, Kimi sheathed her blade and clenched her fists, trembling slightly in humiliation.

She marched straight toward Suto, thrust a finger into his chest, and spoke loudly, "[B]You![/B] I was [I]perfectly[/I] capable of handling myself up there. What the hell were you thinking, tackling me like that?! Not to mention that embarrassing position you put us in... Baka... I can take care of myself." She then turned her fiery gaze to Jason, "And [B]you![/B] Don't go smashing me with that hammer when we're not even in danger! The recklessness you practiced just there was... potentially fatal! Not to mention it was terrifying and unorthodox and absolutely insane!" She walked past him with dignity, sneering until she had moved beyond him by just a step. She cocked her head over her shoulder, "It was exhilarating... [I]Don't[/I] do it again without some kind of planning first," She said quietly, placing her hands on her hips, a thumb hooked into her sheath's connection with her belt.

Nero, however, was looking to Kazaro as the virtual samurai sheathed his katana and observed his new <<Fire Crystal.>> What was with him? Why was he going so ballistic before? Of course, it was rare that Nero broke formation or screwed up, but he put his guard down for a moment... It was a dangerous thing to do, of course, but it wasn't something he would have let happen had he felt unsafe. Everything was fine when it happened, was Kazaro really just that obsessed with keeping things uniform?
