@Cuccoruler@OtomostheCrazyTime to save the day, like I did with Landon!The shadows of the exiles all turned into a mirror image of Xoxi, outlined in purple, then rose out of the ground and grabbed Claire while morphing to fit her body. A small suit of purple glowing armor encompassed Claire, as it seeped into the ground, taking Claire with them. Claire reformed in the purple glow behind Xoxi, as her eye was flashing from purple to pink in a fast pattern.
Now that Claire is safe, let's see if we can do something about these guys."Alrighty boys, now that she's safe, let's see about getting back what you took from us, and I assure you that it will be a fun time for one of us~!"First off, that mouse is getting punted. Secondly, these exiles know not the power of the world's best thief! I'll do some stealing back of the loot and see if anything else good arises.One of the shadows ran up and kicked Cherry as far as he could fly, landing him directly into a pile of trash about a block away. Then another clone did the phase thing and landed the bag of cool stuff next to Cia. Xoxi's eye was a strobe light of very rapid proportions.
Looking at the numbers here, we've got 7 of us and 6 of them. Squidkid probably wouldn't fight if I talked to him one on one, and the cloaked guy is weak, so one good blow to the head should knock him out. 7 to 4, with the mask guys being the last ones. They seem like grunts, maybe if I took the two bigger guys out of the picture they'll back down and stop fighting.With a very quick flash, two of the shadows quickly ran up to the cloaked man and jabbed him in the head, knocking him cold. Xoxi began slowly walking to the Inkling as the two knock-out shadows were slain. The other two, however, mimicked what Xoxi did against the Kree and rode two of the exiles like they were dummies.
"I can tell you really don't give a shit. Wanna call back the masked guys and leave us be? I mean I can take you down too and I really don't wanna do that, as I want to remain physically pacifistic, but I will pull out my paci-fist if you fight back."This guy seems cool, and I'm reading at least a 75% chance of backing off from him. Hopefully it will work out in the long run.Xoxi's eye was starting to waver slightly, as the strobe appeared to stop entirely and a shade of red-violet appeared, signaling the flashing is too fast for the human eye to track anymore.
