Saki could feel the back of her foot hit Yukari right on the skull, Saki formed her mouth in a wry smile as she softened the blow somewhat. It would be awful if she broke something from the poor girl. She landed right besides Yukari and saw she was still or already standing again, did that not hit hard enough to knock her out at least?! Saki stood up with a warned look on her face and suddenly felt a devastating shock through her chest. The briefcase she was holding with her tail was silently picked out from her tail.

The hit felt somewhat like a baseball hitting you at the speed of a car. Metal clunked as Saki fell backwards onto her butt. Her skin felt somewhat cracked underneath her shirt, it hurted a lot. Saki bounced back onto her feet and took a boxer stance she had learned from tv to notice the briefcase was back in Yukari her possession. This girl was a serious problem, she had already bounced herself up onto the roof of the building. Saki gulped and looked back at Nadeko.

“Take the roofs Nadeko, I’ll try to cut her path”

This was more of an ordeal she would think it was. Nadeko would probably be faster with her magnets and could move around midair more freely then her. Saki's eyes flashed green as she used her speed to catch up to Yukari while using her enhanced intelligence to track her. The crane in the distance would definitely help her up.

Dashing over the rooftops, Yukari needed to think fast. Nadeko’s quirk would let her easily take the briefcase away from Yukari while Saki was simply fast enough to keep up with her, and together Yukari wasn’t sure if she could protect the briefcase. If this was a straight up fight Yukari wouldn’t have as many problems. [color=bc8dbf]”Gotta think of something!”[/color] Soon Yukari ran out of roof. She could feel the subtle changes in the wind indicating that the area in front of her was very open, too far for her to stretch without building up some tension. She knelt down for just a moment, her ears perking up as she tried to listen carefully around her. She needed to sense everything she could to get an edge against these odds.

That’s when an idea struck her. On the rooftop was one of those ventilation chimneys. Saki was still a few buildings away and Nadeko was too far for Yukari’s senses to pick up, so she needed to act fast. Yukari would pry open the vent, tossing the briefcase inside as it fell down into the building. Yukari would then hastily put the vent back into place and keep running. As far as the other two would know, Yukari still had the briefcase. So now she needed to lead them as far away as she could, so she can keep the both of them away from the briefcase so Yukari can pick it up later. If anything, this would allow Yukari to start hunting down the other briefcases since she doubts any of the hero team would think that a briefcase was in a ventilation shaft.

[color=bc8dbf]”Now I just need to focus on taking them out!”[/color]

Saki suddenly dove up at the end of Yukari her roof. She had been making use of her agility to catch up to Yukari via pipes and smaller roofs. It might have not been so fast as her but at least she could compete. 

"You won't be able to get away from me twice villain!~"

Saki softly let herself fall as her eyes glowed red she lunged herself at Yukari by kicking herself of the roof border and punched Yukari on impact.

Saki landed with her feet on the ground and noticed by her glance looking over Yukari that the suitcase had vanished. She could only hope her teammates didn't have it. She might be able to keep Yukari to stall for time. Quickly she swiped her foot at Yukari in attempt to let her fall and lock her down so she wouldn't escape.

"See how you like this~" 

Nadeko, meanwhile, had been trying to solve the conundrum of catching up. There were buildings but they were too far away, so she ran. She ran until she was confident that at max power they wouldn’t be too much interference for her to pull herself to the building where Saki and Yukari were fighting. Once she zipped over, she saw that Yukari wasn’t holding the briefcase, and it wasn’t anywhere nearby. She had either dropped it or stashed it. If the former, they’d have to search. If the latter, they’d have to get Yukari to spill the beans. But they couldn’t arrest her. What did she need that they could take away?

Nadeko had an idea. They could find a way to trap Yukari. That way she’d be unable to look for more briefcases or help out her teammates. Then they would be in a position to bargain. But first, Nadeko needed to know what Yukari could do. After the several seconds Nadeko had been standing and staring while she figured this out, she sprung into action. While Saki was both stronger and faster in close quarters, Nadeko pulled a rusty shopping trolley towards her and fired it at Yukari.

It was a good thing Saki called out her attacks, because it made it easier for Yukari to know where she was coming and be ready. Despite her speed Yukari was able to raise her guard when Saki came to punch her, rolling with the hit so she could bounce back and throw a counter punch. When Saki tried to sweep her feet she only managed to knock one foot out from beneath Yukari, which wasn’t enough for Yukari to lower her guard. If anything this allowed her to suddenly start attacking Saki with both her hands and her foot as she used her extreme flexibility to start barraging Saki with a flurry of blows.

“You’re tough, but I’m not going down that easily!” Yukari said with a grin as she could easily take Saki’s blows thanks to her rubber body and keep on punching. But Yukari was so caught up in the excitement of the fight that she realized a little too late that something was flying towards her. The shopping cart hit her dead on and knocked her against the wall. This actually did hurt though not enough that Yukari was knocked out. “Ow… I guess, oof… Maeda-chan caught up...”

Hitting Yukari with her first crept a smile on her face only lasting a few seconds however as she was quickly met with twice the speed of her punch back. Saki staggered back feeling light in her head from the punch. Saki raised a hand to her head barely able to blink she was met by another two blows staggering back even more. Ten fist, no hundred fists were launched in quick succession at Saki feeling herself being driven back.

At the edge of the roof she braced herself and took a defensive stance after realising what was happening. It stopped as a loud slam got Saki her attention in stead, her eyes trailed after the wind the shopping cart had produced with Yukari lying against a roof wall. Full of dents and broken skin Saki launched up her thumb at Nadeko.

"Nice job partner!~"

Saki smirked and strode up towards the downed Yukari. She tore the shopping cart apart into a makeshift jail for Yukari. She somewhat doubter it would keep her but maybe there were limits to how flexible she could get.

"A cozy home for you Yukari-chan~ Where did you leave the suitcase villain!"

Nadeko was doubtful that it would be that easy but nevertheless pushed against the makeshift jail and kept a very close eye on Yukari.

Yukari felt around the metal that was around her. After a few seconds she figured out it must’ve been a shopping cart. Yukari could easily escape though maybe that wasn’t a good idea right now. Instead Yukari looked in the direction of Nadeko’s voice and smirked. “Do you really think it’ll be that easy for me to spill my team's plans? No way! I already passed it along to them. Even now we’ve already found half of the briefcases, so it’s just a matter of keeping them away from you and your team!” Yukari shuffled a bit closer to the cage and tried to speak softly so only Nadeko can hear.

“And between you and me, I think we both know what’s more important right now. But you also know both of you can’t just stay here to watch me either. So how about you let me go and I promise I won’t steal any more briefcases, okay?” Yukari said with a charming smile. “Pinky promise.”

Nedeko glanced to Saki, then turned back to Yukari with a blank, unimpressed look on her face. She then held out one of her magnet arms and pulled Yukari to her shopping cart and all, before holding Yukiar tight with one of her arms. She turned back to Saki.

“Where should we go now, prisoner in tow? Shall we look for the briefcase manually? That could take us the entiiiiire exercise! Would sure save a lot of time if somebody knew where it was!” she spoke, with a sly grin on her face.

Saki annoyingly smiled at Yukari for telling such blatant lies to them and after that she even tried buying Nadeko over from what she could tell. Saki kicked with her leg onto the cage rattling the bars.

“Quiet! Prisoners shouldn’t speak without the guards' permission~!”

Nadeko held the cage now with Yukari, it honestly looked really weird. Saki laughed somewhat and queued up on Nadeko her remark.

“Maybe if dear sweet Yukari would tell us a thing or two about where she has hidden it would certainly help us~
Saki sadistically smiled towards her partner and Yukari as well before she proposed an idea towards Nadeko.

“I know! Maybe she will remember after flying through the stratosphere in that metal cage of hers or being launched away like a rubber band from the edge of the building fufu~ Which one do you like more Yu-ka-ri-chan~”

“Oh no, please, anything but that.” Yukari said sarcastically. She’s done stunts like this before so she wasn’t all that scared. “Please please, I’ll tell you where the briefcase is at! It’s over there, by the giant chicken!” Yukari pointed off in a random direction where there was no chicken. “And besides, I’m not lying. The rest of my team has already gotten the briefcases! Don’t believe me?” Yukari said as she turned towards Nadeko. She kept staring at Nadeko, letting her get a clear look at Yukari’s cloudy eyes. “Look into my eyes. Do you see what I see? Then you’ll know that there’s no way I could find a briefcase on my own. That’s why I passed it along already!”

Nadeko shrugged, and turned to Saki. “It was worth a try. Still, you were following her. If you’re a robot, do you have a memory you could play back? If if you didn’t see where she dropped the case, you could track her route and that would narrow down your search. You’re the only one who can find the case. As for me, I’ll head back to the buildings, and I’ll take Yukari with me.”

With that, Nadeko started jogging back to the towers, Yukari still trapped in the trolley-turned-cage, which was stuck to Nadeko’s arm. Nadeko wasn’t running, probably because she was having to lift Yukari off the ground.
