With others taking some of the aggression from Y, and even Midna pinning its arm down for a bit, both Geralt and Zenkichi were able to avoid most of the Consul's attacks. That did not mean they came out unscathed from the barrages he put out, but they managed to dodge the lasers. Geralt did find herself on the receiving end of a wide-swinging arm, knocking her a solid twenty feet before she even realized what happened, but the Hateful Flesh proved sufficient as a brake, sending sparks flying and a grisly screeching noise as its blade dug into the platform she was standing on. When he shifted away, she was forced to move, running and leaping to another platform to try and get closer.

Zenkichi, himself, was forced to dodge a few laser blasts, as Valjean's attacks proved to irritate Y, though not nearly as much as Midna chaining him to a platform. That bought him some time to fire off a Triple Down as well as reload his revolvers, though he stowed them right away, saving them for another moment. When Y shifted away from Geralt's direction, Zenkichi found himself with an opportunity, following Goldlewis' lead and leaping onto their foe to take a few swings. Anybody unlucky enough to be stuck with the two of them when Y broke free found themselves hanging on for dear life, but then Y decided enough was enough. His ribcage opened, and from it came that same vortex that nearly sucked Zenkichi in to his death before. [color=BFBFBF]"Oh come on, NOT AGAIN!"[/color] He cried as the Seekers were pulled into the void. 

Groggily forcing himself to his feet, Zenkichi looked around and groaned. [color=BFBFBF]"Now what the hell is this?!"[/color] He exclaimed, before getting a good look at the core. [color=BFBFBF]"Oh my god it's his weak spot."[/color] He laughed. [color=BFBFBF]"He actually sucked us in to his weak spot. Wow."[/color] The others by that point were getting up and getting their own bearings, and Sandalphon explained in less video gamey terms that they were probably inside Y, and that if they didn't beat the shit out of his core here, they'd probably be absorbed and killed. Fun times. 

"Then let's kill him." Geralt simply added, lashing out with the Hateful Flesh to shatter a circuit lance that tried to impale her, switching to the LCCB Assistant Manager Identity and returning fire while hunkering behind her shield. As the wire frames appeared, Zenkichi practically lit up.

[color=BFBFBF]"Oh, hey, a bunch of mooks! That's my specialty!"[/color] He cheered, gleefully swinging his greatsword through a pair of wire frame phantoms as another landed a kick to his chest. He steadied himself against the blow, before retaliating with a hefty overhead swing and crushing the phantom into the ground, three more taking their place as he, Susie and Midna made sure their heavier hitters weren't interrupted. 

Geralt's turtling strategy had proved to be a mistake, as a series of purple lines stretched along the geometric ground before lancing [i]upwards[/i] and into her, drawing some blood and completely bypassing her shield. She transitioned to moving laterally, still hiding behind her shield, but keeping mobile to avoid such an attack again as she patiently fired shot after shot into the core. While she wasn't dealing any massive hits, the fact that she could react to the spears to protect herself while walking over and around the ground-based circuits that tried to get underneath meant that she was able to keep up her fire fairly steadily while they whittled at the enemy.
