When they arrived at the realm belonging to Yuki, they immediately noticed the small army that Tlevran had brought. Clarice looked to the bandits and nodded to Alias, who nodded back in understanding. At the revving sound of the shadow Krieg's Buzz Axe, the bandits jumped down to deal with the new enemies. Cherry actually smiled as he found a chance to cut through flesh again, while Resin calculated just where he would place his ink and attack, before entering the fray himself. The Mirifakino Exiles charged into the battle, dancing to conjure up their new powers, starting out easy by lighting their limbs on fire. Alias floated into the fray slowly, but kept his guard up this time as he focused his power to increase the strength of his spells.

Clarice and Yukiko smiled. They could feel their counterparts nearby. Claire was weakened from performing something, just a bit more of a push, and they would be able to absorb her. Yuki, on the other hand was much weaker. The Music goddess' current state of being made her ripe enough to be absorbed by her counterpart. Yes, there were more than a few obstacles in the way, but they weren't doing things on their own at the moment. Their fellow clones would help out. After all, they did come to the place for the same purpose, after all.

Claire was surprised that the shadow could talk. Honestly, she didn't really think that was possible. Perhaps it was the end result of both her and Xoxi's powers mixing together that gave it a bit of sentience. This looked to be a bit problematic, as the shadow was essentially an infant. She didn't know if it knew of what it was made for, and honestly she didn't really want to tell them if they didn't.

Unfortunately, the luxury of thinking it over passed before the music goddess even knew it, as their enemies were here, and they had started their attack. Claire moved the child off of her leg, and knelt down to them. She looked them in their eyes, and told them of what was happening, unconsciously treating them as an innocent child.

"[color=f7941a]Um...Well, a bunch of people are here to do bad things, and now we have to stop them. We have to do that quickly, though.[/color]" 

While Claire tried to explain things to the shadow child, Yuki stirred as Xoxi woke her up. She was still weak and felt sore where injury once was, but at the moment she should have been good enough to move. Yuki didn't speak, as her voice cracked and was still recovering from the shock of the past experience, but she nodded in reply. Xoxi was urgent in getting away from whatever had invaded her realm. Some of the Mirifakino spirits had arrived to act as body guards, in case they met with opposition. Yuki looked to Xoxi and nodded that she was ready to get a move on.
