Man, Bella was heavy! Did she weight one thousand pounds or something?! She wouldn't say something that rude aloud, though. Bella said something in French, and Sakura gathered it was a thank you. Merci means 'thank you' in French. Sakura set Bella back to her feet, and was blissfully unaware of any of her inner turmoil. She just liked helping her friends. The street fighter didn't feel nearly as bad about hurting these weird fish monster. The Abyssals were humanoids and she knew some of them could be friendly if Friend Hearted. These guys just looked like brainless monsters. Sakura freely batted them and kicked them away, blasting them with her cannons when she got the chance. These cannons were punchy and satisfying to use. Arashio had a good arsenal, thats for sure. Sakura flinched at Geralt's brutal victory, her mouth puckering. He wrapped an eel head in wires and cables and then blew its damn head off! [color=f49ac2]"Oooohh! Dang, Mister Geralt!" [/color] Sakura says. [color=f49ac2]"That was- phew! Oof!"[/color] She slapped the sides of her head and gave a thumbs up. Sakura turned around. Things were...really gross. Around shippy. The fish were having a feeding frenzy. There was lots of blood and gunfire and tearing of flesh. [color=f49ac2]"Ugh!"[/color] Sakura turned her eyes away, hoping she wouldn't have to deal with that. Nadia did something very gross and cool that caught Sakura's attention. Her attention was briefly rapt by the epic encounter happening ontop of the mountain. Nadia did something awesome, Bowser was there, Cadet was there. Big purple guy was swinging his arms around. Sakura gasped and covered her mouth as Nadia, her fellow crazy cat lady, was tossed into the air and about to be made into mince meat. That was when Bella came in with the save! She blew the tentacle apart with a perfect shot. [color=f49ac2]"[i]YATTAAA![/i] You're the best! You did it, Ms. Bella!"[/color] Sakura cheered, grabbing onto Bella's shoulder and hopping up and down. Bowser and Cadet were the only ones left at the top. Tentalus was there, too, and Sakura wasn't sure what to do about him. She got the impression that Bowser probably wasn't going to try and kill the monster child, and would probably for a Friend Heart. He was, after all, a cool dad kinda guy. Even if he did kidnap Princess Peach all the time in the games. There was, however, a big bone fish attacking Shippy. That probably wasn't ideal! But with Rika back on Shippy, Sakura was the only one left to help defend the two artillery fighters. Bella and Geralt were obviously very powerful, but they did their best work when they could concentrate on using their big cannons. That was why Sakura would stick around and escort them. Just like in those old war movies her dad used to watch.
