Sakura made the choice. [color=f49ac2]”Roxas-kun, I’m getting out here! We have to destroy the doomsday device.”[/color] She looked at Kale.

[color=f49ac2]”You should leave and never come back. Get a hobby.”[/color] Sakura squinted at him, the threat implicit.

Taking the mini-LIFT down, Sakura found the SPECTRE device. She knew it when she saw it. Crackling her knuckles and full of energy from Sandalphon’s healing, she took her fists and feet to the device, cracking its metal shell and shattering glass and buttons. From the wall she ripped down everything she could. Vandelay couldn’t get away with something like that. They would have to tell someone about this plan too to get everything taken away and fixed. 

After that, it was a trip to the bottom to reunite with the others. 

[color=f49ac2]”...Mind control!”[/color] She finished telling everyone else about the SPECTRE machine. 

[color=f49ac2]”Oh, Sandalphon-san. I’m glad you’re okay.”[/color] Sakura said, both bowing and also leaning over to set her hands on her knees.

[color=fff200]”Quite.”[/color] Karin said, moving up to Sakura’s side. Sakura said ‘oh’ again and wrapped her arms around her friend in a hug. Karin didn’t reject it, but she did just pat Sakura on the shoulder and then ever so gently push her away.
[color=fff200]”Quite.”[/color] Karin said. [color=fff200]”It seems our intervention here has gained us no shortage of tagalongs.”[/color] She said, regarding the newcomers, amused. 

[color=fff200]”Greetings. I am Karin Kanzuki. Welcome to your association with the Seekers, however long our paths remain the same.”[/color]  She took the time to introduce herself with a curtsy. 

Sakura was also relieved to see Raz again, hugging him, too, and also, Geralt, and really anyone who got too close. The whole fight was an emotional rollercoaster. And it wasn’t over yet. [color=f49ac2]”...If there’s a mission to save Peach, I’m in, obviously. Though I’m necessary to the plan, so.”[/color] Sakura stood firm, still in her uniform.

[color=fff200]”Ohoho. Then I suppose I shall be leaving you again, Miss Sakura.”[/color] Karin said as the reinforcements began to bear down on them. [color=fff200]”I wish you the best of luck in rescuing the princess. Farewell!”[/color] She began to run. 

Sakura was tapping into the SAS, using Luka’s power. [color=f49ac2]”Okay, okay, this is my first time doing this, Luka-kun, I think, it’s like?”[/color] She furrowed her brow. [color=f49ac2]”Like this!”[/color] And she did her best to teleport with the others, taking the hand with whoever was joining her. 

Meanwhile, Karin hit the boost pads, not entirely sure how they worked but knowing their new ally demonstrated it quite effectively. [color=fff200][i]”Oh my!”[/i][/color] She looked at her blurring feet in wonder, and then over her shoulder at the Motor Ball. [color=fff200]”Yet another infernal contraption! Each one spikier than the last! Joy!”[/color]
