As if watching a movie, Kimiko stood resolute as she drew the attention of one of the fire monsters, unable to do anything more. Her life might be over. The fire would come and consume them. But Kimiko would die so her friends could live.

[i][color=be0b0f]Friends?[/color][/i]

[i][color=ed1c24]I know. Shut up.[/color][/i]

Kimiko waited for the searing heat to wash over her, for her distraction to be of value and draw away the monsters' ire as they tore into her lifeless and charred corpse. The flames drew near, crashed into her... and washed over her harmlessly, the power of her Persona reflecting the attack back at the enemy.

[i][color=ed1c24]I... I live. I'm alive![/color][/i] Kimiko was exuberant, but it seemed as though the monster had some intelligence about it as it retreated to attack the others. [i][color=ed1c24]Ok, so that worked, but only temporarily. What else can I do, Yatsu?[/color][/i]

The names of spells appeared in her mind as words on a grimoire's page: [i]Dia, Agi, Sukukaja[/i]. Meaningless terms that somehow were already defined in her mind. [i][color=ed1c24]Fire will be useless against them. No one is seriously hurt yet...[/color][/i] Kimiko rushed forward, stepping between Kaede and the flaming figures. [color=ed1c24]"I believe I can be of assistance,"[/color] she said calmly before placing a hand on her ally's shoulder. [color=ed1c24]"Sukukaja!"[/color] she called out, feeling a bit silly. Yatsufusa's form rose from behind her and, with a mighty howl, bestowed the hastening spell upon the drama President.

[color=ed1c24]"Please tell me that worked..."[/color]
