	Karin followed behind the others, using her grappling hook and jumps. When they encountered the massive creature battling Goldlewis, she narrowed her eyes. Three massive floating body parts. Roxas presented a good theory, and Karin was eager to test it.

	Karin dashed and tried to avoid lasers and bullets heading her way. She had to get closer. Close enough to hit one of these floating parts with her bare hands.

	One of the lasers swept past her, and she dashed to take advantage, only for the explosions that erupted from the ground to sweep her up into the air, spinning. [color=fff200]”Wh-what?!”[/color] She was already low on defensive ki, she couldn’t afford to take many more hits! 

	More giant balls of energy came her way, so she attached a grapple hook to the wall to pull herself away. Unfortunately, a passing bolt of energy severed the cord and left Karin to fall on a predictable bath towards the ground, grunting as she passed through a bolt on the way. She landed face down, roughly, and took a full second to get up. As she got to her hands and knees a massive metal gauntlet smashed her against the stone. Karin wheezed and her face twisted with pain. The ground cracked and reddened and exploded beneath her, damaging her heavily and crushing her against the metal hand. There was a tremendous yellow spark as Karin’s ki rebelled against being turned into red paste. 

	The monstrous hand retracted, leaving Karin in a crater. Karin stirred, pushed herself up to her hands and knees, wavered, and then collapsed back down into the cracked stone beneath her. With a frustrated sigh, the heiress closed her eyes against the dust, losing consciousness.
