	Kasugano Sakura watched in awe as some of her tiny friends saw fit to battle this thing. They were actually managing to hold it off, too. And Blazermate cleared their exit with a [color=f49ac2]"Super sick dropkick!"[/color] Sakura shouted, her voice joining the cacophany of metallic destruction that followed. 

	Sakura was pushed into action, pulling herself from her cozy corner and doing her best to help pull her friends up. Especially Link, the pair of them having bonded over their pillow-hopping, at least in Sakura's mind.

	[color=f49ac2]"We're almost out, almost out!"[/color] Sakura said both to herself and her teammates.

	Nadia was going to her fan to get everybody up. [color=f49ac2]"All right- just be careful, Nadia-san!"[/color] Then she jumped and was pushed to safety, tumbling unsteadily to a stop. 

	[color=f49ac2]"The streamers! Get her up!"[/color] Sakura practically shrieked. Nadia used her agility and quickly thinking to latch onto the streamer using her fan. The little brunette held on as tight as she could, but no doubt the heavy lifting was being done by some of the others.

	 [color=f49ac2]"We're good! Let's get the heck out of here!"[/color] And they did, running down into the vents. Her purple shoots pattered along the vents, her arms stretched out infront of her and to her sides. 

	Sakura came to a stop along with the others, putting her hands on her knees and panting heavily. [color=f49ac2]"Phew...that was a bit close."[/color] She said, a small laugh in her voice. It quickly grew into a bigger laugh. Despite herself, she hopped up and down in victory. 

	[color=f49ac2]"We're alive, Mirage! We did it...we did [i]iiit![/i] Oh, we're the [i]best!"[/i][/color] With some tears in her eyes and a grin on her face she gave anyone who was willing- or even just particularly vulnerable a hug. Or, a high five. Bella, Geralt, Cadet, Link, even bitty Bowser; No one was safe. High fives and consolations especially, for Nadia.[color=f49ac2] "You're the MVP, Nadia. I owe you...[i]e to,[/i] something. I'll figure it out." [/color]She smiled, closing her eyes and rubbing the back of her head. This was her own little celebration of team work and being alive. 

	She'd been so caught up she hadn't noticed her stomach rumbling. Sakura frowned and then listened into Kamek's helpful reminder.[color=f49ac2] "...I hate this stupid ship." [/color] She complained.[color=f49ac2] "Being hungry? And not being allowed to eat?" [/color]Her face fell. [color=f49ac2]"Just feed me to the junk monster, are you kiddin'!"[/color] She pouted, kicking the ground.

	[color=f49ac2]"Let's go. You're right, Junior. That lady and her stupid cheating demon snake kites are gonna get smoked. I'm gonna smack 'em around in the runback, just you wait."[/color] She huffed, punching her fist into her palm. [color=f49ac2]"Now...I guess we gotta go back to being quiet."[/color] She looked around the big room.

	[color=f49ac2]"No where to go but forward. At least we're on steady ground."[/color] She hopped up and down again before continuing onwards. She reached the big door and pressed her ear up against it. [color=f49ac2]"Sounds like water."[/color] She whispered to the others. [color=f49ac2]"Let's move these furniture and boxes and stuff out of the way."[/color] Instinctually she pushed on it with one hand. This obstacle would be no problem for 18 year old Sakura. For 4 year old Sakura? It barely moved. She leaned up against it and pushed as hard as she could for a few seconds, grunting from the effort. She only ended up pushing her own body backwards. Grumbling to herself she let what little strength she had be lent to the coordinated effort of getting through the door.
