Things were…going! Going well? Hard to say. They just had to keep wailing on him until something happened! Karin’s heart was pounding. She was having to be aggressive to carry her weight as a dodge tank. She could afford to be reckless because there was no chance she would fall to her death, she was confident in her skill with the hook at this point. But if she was struck even once she could be sent flying. Consul Y kept rambling. [color=fff200]”You nutcases can imagine the end of life as we know it easier than you can imagine a chance in social policy!”[/color] She shouted at him, frustrated. Karin was on the floating platform when his ribcage open and he began to consume them all. Thus, she was one of the first to go in. Logically, she knew that if Consul Y had a ‘kill them all’ button, he would have pressed it by now. This was more likely him getting desperate, or even more likely, just him changing tactics. So there was no way they were all about to die. Still. [color=fff200][i]”Aaaaaaaaah!!”[/i][/color] [color=f49ac2][i]”Bwaaaaaah!!!”[/i][/color] When Sakura opened her squeezed eyes and uncurled from her ball, she peered around the room. [color=f49ac2]”Oh…huh…cool?”[/color] She said, standing to her feet. Karin stood up and dusted herself off, clearing her throat. [color=fff200]”Be on your guard.”[/color] Karin warned, looking at the pulsating polyhedron. Just then it fired out a lance at Sakura, who ducked it, nearly losing a lock of brown hair. [color=fff200]”We’ll just destroy him from the inside out, then.”[/color] Karin confirmed. She and Sakura strafed in tandem, avoiding a series of barbs that trailed after them. They hooked around and slammed into some of the wireframe guardians. There was a brief exchange of blows that ended with the phantoms broken to bits. Midna was doing her part though, and Karin and Sakura eyed the core. Glancing at each other, they nodded. [color=f49ac2]”Game over!”[/color] Sakura yelled, leaping and slamming her heel down on the vortex of shapes while Karin came in low and slammed her palm up into it. It was like kicking a bunch of ultra-hard plastic plates floating in jello, Sakura thought. The two backed up as the thing counter-attacked, their forearms and knees scraped and chipped against by the offensive barbs. But they wouldn’t be deterred for long. Sakura blasted through a lance aiming for her torso and followed the fireball in. Karin travelled in her wake and the two encircled it with a series of punches and kicks. Karin pulled back before Sakura did, and the brunette caught a lance in the tummy for her trouble. It stuck against her, not breaking the skin but getting caught on her body before departing with a yellow spark. Grunting, she kicked away and shook her head, grinning for a half-second before dashing back in. [color=f49ac2]”You’re gonna get it now! Hope you bought polygon insurance!”[/color] [color=fff200]”Polygon insurance?”[/color] Karin asked. [color=f49ac2]”Hush! I’m concentrating!”[/color] Sakura shouted back.
