The crack of gunfire echoed through the air, signaling to Yumi that it was go-time. She carefully hooked the scythe onto her back as the last two of the pack neared the entrance of the kill zone, then jumped high to grab its feathers and pull herself up onto its back. She spotted a tree to the side, and her eyes widened as she glanced at the two Greatspurs running side-by-side, a crazy idea forming in her head.

The thought caused Yumi to first sigh in exasperation at her own plan, then grin in amusement at the fact that that was her first thought, despite the lack of Japanese animation in this world. She took a deep breath to steel herself before taking the leap.

Yumi twisted in midair as she jumped toward the tree, drawing her scythe as her feet touched the tree. Her knees bent as she let the momentum compress them, and for a brief moment, she sat crouched against the trunk, perfectly horizontal.

The bark beneath her feet splintered and shattered as Yumi launched explosively off the tree, straight toward the head of the turkey nearest her. She twisted in midair again, this time to strike the enormous bird in the temple feet-first.

The absurd look of shock on the face of a bird that size seemed to make time slow like in a cartoon. The first toppled over into the second, saliva spraying out of both of their beaks as their skulls collided together.

As they fell over on top of one another, Yumi hooked the blade of her scythe around the bottom one’s neck and crouched down, gathering energy in her legs once again. With a mighty grunt, she launched herself upward once again. She pulled on the scythe with all her might, severing both of their heads with one slice. As she landed back on the ground, the two decapitated birds collapsed behind her in the killzone entrance in a pile even the giant birds would have difficulty getting past.
