"Hey!" Laura growled when Mai vaulted away, looking at the sister that replaced her with confusion. She seemed more hesitant now, pacing a moment before lunging, swinging her massive shield with the intent to bash Akane's face. Her other hand dove, trying to grab the back of Akane's knee and topple her to drop her shield right on her neck. "I trained in Greek wrestling for years! You'll never beat me unarmed! Come on, you can properly fight!" She roared. "YOU KNOW THAT THOSE I COMMAND CANNOT ACT AGAINST THEIR TRUE NATURE? SHE WAS WILLING TO STRIKE YOU." Ichigo gloated as he hovered towards Mai, wings flapping too slow to actually carry him. Flames went up his arms and he lunged, throwing a kidney punch before trying to bring his elbow across her face. "I WAS SURPRISED AT IT IN FACT. I JUST WANTED HESITATION FOR A SECOND, BUT SHE INSTEAD SEEKS TO KILL!" With a single massive flap, he launched himself straight up in the air and pointed his palms down. "AND NOW SHE BURNS!" White flames blasted down like a meteor, throwing up a wave over the entire stage. Mona jumped into the air, clicking her heels as she passed over the knife. She launched a flurry of stabs at Jun, all blocked by Jun's own blade or spots of scales. "I could have outrun you coming here, but this is more fun!" She backed up as Jun's blows landed closer and closer to her body, realizing quickly she was outmatched. "You're welcome, kid." The new entrant patted Remilia on the shoulder before lunging past her to plant her fist in Jun's spine. Jun yelped in pain, becoming a scream when Mona's rapier met her shoulder. "Who are you?" Mona raised a pink eyebrow.
"Thanks for punching her, but-" Midway through her question, she was blasted into the corner by an explosion from the new woman's palm. "I am Robin Arachne, thief extraordinaire! Hand over your valuables and I shall leave you with your lives and a tale of meeting the rising superstar of the robbery world!" She threw out her arms with a massive smile, quickly going away when spines emerged from Jun's back, stabbing several holes in her torso. Robin yelped and skipped backwards as Jun glared back at her. "Honorless cowards! I will take both your heads!" Jun growled, glancing both directions.

Akane blocked the bash with her gauntlets, though the demi-goddess had managed to topple her with the swift move, The Musashi almost immediately rolled out of the way avoiding getting her neck crushed.
Nothing would please Akane more than slicing at Laura, though she had made a promise to her sister...would that really hold?
Akane teleported her blades out and took an open-handed fighting position, this was more than a challenge, this was her showing what her style was all about.
"You are a fool if you think Niten Ichi Ryu is reduced to fighting with blades, drop that shield and show me your pankration, the martial arts of Japan won't be losing today"
Back in the stage, Mai blocked all the blows that Ichigo directed at her, she looked at him even more pissed off than she originally was, even though her opponents strenght was the real deal.
"I don't care if she was willing to strike me you asshole! I love when my girls rough me up! but now thanks to you I won't be getting any action today! you are in for a world of pain"
Ichigo made some distance as the flames poured down, either he reasoned close combat wouldn't take him anywhere with Mai, or he tried to exploit his range advantage, Mai smirked upon seeing the white flames, she shifted her combat stance to a far more esoteric one, her arms began to move, leaving after images as she gently set the flames aside, she ended her move with a Buddha-like pose
"Hah, Like hell that would work! wanna know why someone like you will never be able to best me? Unlike other useless martial arts that rely on inner balance, fighting spirit or stupid crap like that, I have come to master Tantra, do you know what empowers my art?"
Mai once again shifted her pose as she spoke, this time aiming with her palm at Ichigo, who was clearly too far away for her reach
"Sexual energy!" she uttered as she released a destructive palm strike, the air cannon packed just as much force as a direct hit from the Musashi
"Nobody has greater sexual appetite than I, and because of that, when I use Tantra I'm invincible. None of your pathetic attacks will reach me anymore, die regretting ever encountering me in your way you filthy bastard"
Mai kept the invisible palm strikes flowing, each time increasing in potency and speed, the yoga-like movements of Musashi were slow up to the moment the blast was released. After the palm strike was made the blast moved at unfathomable speeds, out of all five rings Mai was second in attack speed right after Soon.

"Oh great, so we have a petty thief who wants to join the party." Sarah sarcastically said to herself, watching Robin create an explosion with her palms. So instant explosive combustion was this thief's power, huh? Using the confusion to her advantage, Sarah readied her katana and sprinted toward Mona. She would attempt to deliver a horizontal slash to Mona's stomach to try and gut her, but that wasn't the end of it. Sarah let go with her right hand at the end of the swing and thrust it forward, trying to grab Mona's cape and violently yank it downward. If Mona managed to dodge the swing, Sarah hoped that grabbing the cape would either remove it from Mona's body and secure teh urn for herself, or pull the cat-like thief off the strut and leave her hanging precariously by her cape. One scenario secured the objective, the other took out one of the combatants in this battle. She made sure not to yell out to Jun to increase her own chances of catching Mona by surprise.

When Mona was knocked into the corner, Remilia took the opportunity to aim at Mona and use Spambot, hopefully slowing her down by a third of her regular speed. Then she aimed at Robin, their new frenemy, and tried to weaken her with Worm. If she succeeded, she would use Rabbit and Storm Worm, the new programs Mai gave her, to give herself the speed and strength she took from them.
Seeing Sarah trying to gut Mona, she yelled out: "Don't kill her, Marie! Unless you know how to use her cape, we need her!" She then turned to Robin.
"Hold on, Robin, we should work together to take the urn from the other girl first! We can fight over who gets it after she's taken down." Plus, that way the team can all focus on Robin after Mona is down, instead of fighting on two fronts right now. But Remilia left that part out.

Ichigo made a face of utter irritation when Mai declared the source of her power. "THAT IS STUPID!" He roared, raising his hands to make white flame dance between them. "Ichigo, control yourself." Hachiro warned. His warning wasn't necessary, as whatever Ichigo was about to do, it was interrupted by Mai's first palm strike impacting his torso. He growled and kept gathering flames, but each strike made him shudder more. It was more and more difficult for him to keep his pose, and eventually, the flames were snuffed to let his arms guard his torso with the help of two wings.
Mai's final blow made the stage shake, the floorboards buckling beneath her from the sheer force. The sound of the air being driven from Ichigo's lungs was drowned out by the thundering boom of the attack. Mai's attack and Ichigo's body worked together to tear a hole in the ceiling, letting dust and sunlight fall on the Musashi. Laura blinked and shook her head. "Huh? Why do I feel all... fuzzy?" She felt really good, all things considered, a feeling of peace and oneness she hadn't felt since visiting the Parthenon last year. She looked over at Mai, standing shining her armor in a beam of sunlight, and the feeling of holy bliss she had just been experiencing felt all the more real.
Before she could ask about the details, Ichigo floated back down, wings barely stirring. It should have been impossible for a face to convey both bliss and fury, but his somehow did. His eyes glowed too brightly to look directly at, face set in a half-smile, both forgiving and merciless. "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! I AM A SERVANT OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, YOU FOLLOWER OF GODLESS LIES AND SINS OF THE FLESH! MAY MY HOLY FIRE PURIFY YOU INTO WORTHINESS OF HEAVEN!" The holy fire he spoke of became clear, a smokeless ball of floating flame that followed him through the ceiling. It burned away what was in its way, lighting much more ablaze.
"Do you plan on purifying the whole island?" Hachiro sighed, setting his feet. The first strike did not belong to anybody already on stage, however. A white blur lunged from the audience, landing a dozen hits in the blink of an eye and landing on the other side of the stage. "Ow." Bo Xu rubbed his knuckles. Ichigo seemed unperturbed, flames continuing to gather. The room was heating up exponentially, even the djinn fighting guards on the outskirts of the room, tugging at his collar. "This is why djinni stay out of heaven." He complained, eying the doorway. Hachiro sighed and unlooped his sword from his belt. Those haughty psychologists these days gibbered about not striking your children, but what other options was there sometimes? He lunged off the ground, ki aura blazing to life. His sword, still sheathed, rose over his head.
"Next time, contain your spirit. Discipline, Ichigo. Keep it in your mind so I do not have to crack it open!" The sheath came crashing down on Ichigo's skull and the angel rocketed straight down, right at Mai. Whether she was still there or not, he went straight through the floorboards and struck the building's foundations with a force that made the whole hotel shake. Hachiro landed lightly and peered into the hole. "Send somebody to dig up my son and bring him to my room. I am going to retrieve the urn." Hachiro gestured and a guard not otherwise engaged nodded and jumped down into the hole. He sighed and cracked his neck, eying his enemies. "Well, come along. I promised it to your friend and I keep my promises." He began walking, not much concerned with their actions.
Mona was in no shape to dodge Remilia's neutralizing beam, and slowed, was easily caught by Sarah. The more attentive Robin threw herself backwards with palm blasts, throwing a passing elbow for Remilia's head. "I thought we were cool! I helped you get up here!" She chuckled. "Hey! No! Leggo!" Mona squirmed on the end of her cape, but Sarah's grip was far tighter than her slight body could break. It didn't break, and it appeared Sarah couldn't reach into it. Mona swung on the end of the cape until she managed to put her feet to the strut. She kicked off and swung up all the way around, kicking at Sarah's face with her clawed feet. "I said let go!" She growled, drawing back her rapier to make sure she was freed, but Jun's glittering finger speared her wrist, making her drop it.
"Argh! No!" She wailed in pain and anger as the sword bounced off the strut to go twirling down to the water below. "You gave us a nice chase, but you aren't much of a fighter, are you?" Jun tried to act casual as she stewed. "Yeah... you're right, I'm not. Just a runner." Sarah's grip on the cape vanished when the outfit vanished entirely, leaving Mona naked for just a second as she leaned backwards and fell off the strut. She tapped the heart on her necklace and in a flash, she was dressed again before hitting the water. Jun ran up to the lip and hesitated.
It was a dizzying drop, even if just into water. Her choice was made when Robin fired off another explosion, aimed for Sarah and Jun alike. The force threw Jun and she found herself doing an undignified midair tumble on the way down. Before she even got her bearings, she hit the water. It felt like she had fallen onto bricks. She waved her limbs until she managed to get herself upright, heavy skirt not helping her swim. Still, she soon learned she was having it much easier than her enemy when her head broke the surface. Mona flailed pathetically, turning the water red with her impaled wrist.
"Fuck fuck fuck!" She screamed. She was half-entangled in her cape, but that clearly wasn't her problem. "You can't swim?" Jun was calculating how to take this. If she speared her right here, would everything in her cape just vanish, or would it spill out all over? You know, both work for me. Jun realized as she lifted a finger, aiming it right at Mona's temple. Before she could strike, something shot from shore to whip Mona out of the water. Jun looked up to see a grizzled middle-aged man on the side of the pool. Remilia would recognize him but for the way his entire chest had opened up to reveal a grotesque tongue, folded like so much silly putty in his mouth and wrapped now around Mona. "Hi kitty." He slammed her into the wall and something broke.
"Spit out the urn and I won't drown you like a sack of kittens. Fitting as that would be." He waved her and she stared, clearly going into shock from the combination of factors. "Okay... urn... got it." The urn finally spilled free and cracked the pool tile with a clunk. Mona was tossed aside like a candy wrapper, landing back in the pool. "As promised, I'll let you drown yourself." He saluted and his body zipped itself up.

Mai gave the finger to Ichigo when he mentioned orgone energy was stupid, she added lumber to the fire that was Ichigo's temper
"Fuck you! you say that because an ugly bastard like you cannot get laid!"
she smiled as she saw the battered Ichigo return, as he raged and pushed his powers even further Mai kept taunting at him while still doing Yoga Poses
"Holy my ass! Wanna go at it again?! bring it on!"
Mai couldn't get to taste the full power of Ichigo, as his father rushed and sent him packing right her way, she opened up her arms as he smashed against her, the Musashi could be heard moaning of pleasure down at the foundations and then she went quiet for a second, she jumped back with a bloody nose as she looked at Hachiro
"That was nice, I would like you to spank me some more but I have more important matters to attend for now"
she jumped back to where Akane was, it was good that Laura regained her consciousness, as Akane really wasn't planning on fighting empty-handed for long. she looked at Laura from head to toe and proceeded to give a big smile at her sister
"You earned a cookie"- she said as she patted Akane on the head
"Shut up and listen to the Yakuza, we are going with him"
While Akane walked alongside Hachiro, Mai headed towards Laura as her muscle mass began to take its original form, she grabbed Laura's hand trying to see if she was ok now
"Feeling better, beautiful? come, I think we might be able to get that demon you wanted, I trust those girls aren't as useless as they looked"

The predictability of Mona’s kick made it easy for Sarah to block it with her sheathe, still keeping her grip on the cape. Before she could try to reason with mona, the cape fell away as the thief fell back to the pool below. “Getting real tired of this shi-” Sarah couldn’t finish her statement, as Robin’s explosion rocked the strut they were standing on and made Sarah fall forward, though not before she was able to twist her body around and throw a poison-tipped dart directly at Robin’s leg.
Turning back toward the ground, Sarah concentrated on her feet and teleported directly to the right, landing feet-first onto the ground below. She ignored Mona’s predicament and set her sights upon the strange man who joined the scene. There was no reason to try reasoning with him now. He was clearly willing to use violence. Jun was still sitting uselessly in the pool, and Remilia was still on top of the strut with the other thief that had shown up. Taking a step forward, Sarah attempted to teleport between him and the urn, swinging her sword to sever his spine at the lower back.

Sarah's offense worked with a bit of Jun's help. It worked in the sense they got Mona off the strut and soon it worked in that the urn left Mona's possession. But that was only because of a familiar face for Remilia. It was the cyberpunk wannabe from the computer room! Remilia missed the giant tongue back then, and she was glad she did. The man forced Mona to give up the urn and tried to leave, and Sarah attacked him to make sure he left the urn alone. Unfortunately, after she gave up the urn, the man tossed mona into the pool and for all her agility on land, the thief didn't seem very capable in water.
Aside from Mona, Remilia was in the least enviable position now. She was left alone with Robin, whom she just annoyed.
"It is not that I want to fight you, but you were attacking my allies. Plus, you want to use the demon for illegal deeds and I cannot stand by and let you do so." Deciding to extricate herself from this situation, Remilia used Change_depth, which was off its cooldown, and jumped from the struts into the pool. Thanks to the depth change, the fall was no more than a meter for her. Now Robin would have to come down here where Jun could assist Remilia. More importantly, Remilia was in a position to help Mona out. She might be their enemy, but she didn't need to die. Especially not by drowning. With the increased speed, Remilia even swam faster so she could get to Mona.
"You must relax." She tried to grab Mona from behind and swim to the side of the pool, an action made difficult by the awkward shape of the quantum computer. But with her boosted speed, it did not slow her down significantly when compared to her regular swimming speed.

"Illegal, sure. But illegal isn't always immoral. I'll use it to take from bastards like Akiyama. Shouldn't they be robbed of their ill-gotten gains? Don't I deserve them more?" Robin stepped forward, but already Remilia was falling. Her reflexes were just enough to blast away the knife coming for her leg, but she was forced to jump backwards. Robin was left high and dry, alone on her strut. She leaned on a wall and watched from her bird's eye view. She'd have her chance.
Down below, Jun pulled herself from the water. Her dress was so soaked it felt like it was made of solid mud, hanging heavy on her body. "Hand over the urn and you will have my thanks. Refuse and you will be my enemy." She kept her sword sheathed as she approached. "That's going to depend on what you want to do with it." The grizzled man put a foot on the urn. She was about to respond when Sarah teleported to his back and slashed. It was like cutting through butter, her blade passing through with next to no resistance. His head snapped 180 degrees to declare at the ninja. "Oh, okay, guess we're doing it the hard way!" A blade of bone stabbed from his elbow and he swung it for her lungs.
"Beast! That belongs to the woman in the rose dress." Hachiro had just stepped into the room. Jun and the monster froze to look at him. "Okay, now she's definitely not getting it. Fucking fight me, bi-" There was a flash of white and the monster was gone, a hole in the wall the only indication of his passing. Hachiro stood in the smoke, not ten feet away from Jun. "I promised you would have the demon if you injured me, and I keep my promises." With one hand, he tilted it upright; with the other, he ripped free the lid. Jun turned to run, but it was too late. The urn was aimed at her and the thing inside shot into her spine.
She fell forward, face down on the tile, hair covering her face. "Jun! Jun, I can't stop it, it's trying to cut me off-" The Shattered One wrestled for control and Jun's body twitched violently. Remilia would have time while everyone was distracted to drag Mona onto shore. The thief coughed and gagged, spewing up pool water. "Th-thanks." She flopped on her stomach. "I wasn't expecting anybody to save me... not after I tried to steal the urn." She looked up at Jun, now rising. "Well, I better get gone, not dealing with the consequences of my actions!" Her skintight suit vanished again and she shrank into a tiny cat that charged away.
Jun struggled to her feet, hair swaying in a golden mane. Through it pointed two long ears, like a donkey or a mule. She stumbled, putting her hands to her head. Her fingers were streaming with streamers of steam, waving and whipping without wind. "Somebody... tiara can... harm..." She grabbed her tiara and threw it, horrified when it landed in the pool. "No no... take." She turned her golden eyes on Hachiro. "Take!" She held out a hand and he huffed. "Yes. I'm taking it back." He drew back his sword and she flicked out her streamers. The wrapped around him and ripped something away, something the glowed brilliantly white.
Hachiro's ki flared up around Jun, a blazing white skull. "What!?" He yelled, taking a step back. "Take!" Valifor yelled through Jun's mouth, and she reached out her hand again. Hachiro took another step back and glanced to the water. Jun's arm moved and he jumped in. She tilted her head and watched him swim before shrugging and lurching to face Sarah. "Take." Her golden eyes met Sarah's red and she flicked out streamers to make them hers.

Sarah's eyes widened when her sword passed harmlessly through the man's body. Is he some sort of spirit? A spirit that had a tangible part inside of himself? She raised her sword up to parry the blade of bone, letting herself get knocked backward by the force to get distance between the two. Sarah looked over at Remilia, rolling her eyes slightly when she saw the quantum hacker pulling Mona out of the pool. That thief is probably going to be a nuisance later, when all the fighting is over.
The next few seconds went by in a blur. The urn was opened, Jun tossed her tiara into the pool while talking about 'harm', her hair turned golden, and the yakuza boss jumped into the lake. Sarah immediately snapped to attention when the possessed Jun turned to address her, sending out streamers toward her face. "I take it you're the demon?!" Sarah called out, slashing her sword diagonally downward to cut the streamers aside, but was surprised when it made the sound of two blades clashing, only managing to deflect the attack. What were these streamers made of?
Staring down the possessed Jun, Sarah reached into her pocket and pulled out a small yellow ball. "Everyone back away!" She yelled, before tossing the ball at Jun. Upon contact, it would let out a blinding flash of light for around 2 seconds, whereupon Sarah sprinted forward and tried to throw 3 paralysis-tipped knives directly into Jun's chest, stomach and right leg. One try to stun should be enough before going into more lethal strikes.

Mai couldn't care less for Jun's pathetic request for help. she sat by the pool as she watched the entire struggle.
Akane however, was much more sympathetic for the shattered one.
"Don't hurt her! I'll do something about it "
Akane told Sarah as she dove for the pool, she had helped her before in the past, so she knew exactly the mannerisms she used whenever she asked for help. when she mentioned harm, she remembered how she was able to hurt Shi-Kaze back in that bar...was that an equipment ability rather than hers?
if she could beat the Yakuza to it, she would wear the thing in order to cut the streamers, she had to try, but she had to be fast on that one. Sarah was far less apologetic, outright trying to cause some serious harm on her.

Remilia pulled Mona ashore, letting the thief grab some air. "You cannot face justice if you are dead. Thieving is not deserving of capital punishment. Now stay still while..."
Remilia didn't get to tell Mona that she was being placed under arrest because she was distracted by Jun's transformation. With her new ears, she made Remilia think of Pinocchio. As a child, the transformation scared her but seeing it in real life as an adult was merely unsettling. Was the hidden world already affecting her perception of the world? By the time Remilia remembered Mona, the thief was already a cat halfway to the exit.
Remilia saw Hachiro jump into the water, probably to get the tiara. She didn't want to let him do that since she couldn't know how he would use it. He allowed the demon to possess Jun for a reason, so he might decide to destroy the tiara or use it to get his own power back before destroying it. Luckily, someone faster than Remilia already jumped into the water and went after the tiara. When did the Musashi arrive here anyway?
Being unable to assist in getting the tiara Jun seemed adamant would help them save her, Remilia had to help keep Jun occupied. At the same time, she wanted to protect her ally from being killed by her other, very bloodthirsty ally.
"Marie, you must stop trying to kill everyone! It does not suit your role as a government official!" Or what Remilia considered to be a government official in the Hidden World. "She seemed to believe we can stop her without killing her!"
Remilia turned on her quantum computer's aiming mode and pointed the laser at Jun. She didn't know what effect, if any, stealing from the spirit of thieving would have on it, but she had to try. She tried using both viruses to slow down and weaken the spirit, although she only wanted to follow it up with Storm Worm to take its strength since she figured Mona was faster than Jun.

The flash of light poured into Jun’s eyes, leaving her stumbling blind for a few precious seconds. Sarah’s knives sank in easily but she didn’t respond, just leaning on a wall until she blinked the lights from her eyes. She seemed a little stiffer than before, but otherwise unharmed by Sarah’s attack.
She saw Akane swimming close and tilted her head. Shiny clothes! She wanted them! As Akane clambered out, tiara in hand, she waved her streamers. They were sliced clean through, severed ends vanishing into mist. Now Jun yelped in pain, looking at her sliced weapons in shock. With a mixture of fear and admiration, her streamers grew out again and she flicked them for Akane’s armor. If touched, it would vanish from her body. “Tag.” Her tongue and jaw were sluggish, but her streamers were just as fast as before. Even Remelia’s lasers didn’t slow down the misty attack, just Jun’s own body.
On the other side of the pool, Laura hesitated. She wasn’t going to risk anything fighting Jun. Jun could die as far as she cared. But letting Mai’s sister get fucked up fighting her would be a bad idea. She glanced at Mai herself and saw her sitting of all things. “You’re not worried about her?” She sat next to her, armor vanishing in a flash of gold. “Or him…” She watched Hachiro clambering out of the pool. “Oh, right, he doesn’t have any powers right now.” Her fingers danced on her spear. Hachiro glared at her but didn’t run. “If you intend to kill me, do it quickly. I do value punctuality.” He huffed.

Mai shrugged when Laura asked if she wasn't worried about her sister
"Not particularly, I mean, she's strong, so she'll be fine...if two Musashi were to tag team someone it wouldn't be any fun, I guess if something bad happens to my sister I'll just straight up murder that girl, let's hope it doesn't come to that. sis is doing her best not to harm her anyway"
Mai wasn't one to show her feelings, but she did care about her sister, and her honor for that matter, helping her now would simply disgrace the family name, not that she cared, but Akane did.
Akane confidently smiled as she noticed her attacks would work, the streamers might have been as fast as before, but she kicked into second gear, she was determined to make that demon leave Jun's body for good
With blinding speed she got closer and closer to Jun, her aim being those body features that weren't there previously, smashing her with the tiara anywhere wouldn't be the best idea, as she also had another demon within herself. The attacks began to become a lot harder to dodge with every step she gave forward, so at the end she tossed the tiara, looking to slice those demonic features that did not belong there.
If Akane was successful, that should give Jun enough leverage over the demon, if not, they would have to think about something else.

Remilia didn't achieve much. She didn't draw the spirit's attention nor did she slow down its attacks by much. Luckily Akane retrieved the tiara and showed she now had the ability to cut the spirit's weapon. Remilia could contribute even less now, but she prepared a taser and ran closer to Jun. If Akane failed, she would try to stun Jun to let the swordswoman try something else.

A frown slowly grew on Sarah’s face when she saw that the paralysis knives didn’t do anything to the possessed Jun. The frown only got deeper when Akane appeared on the scene, preaching how she ‘shouldn’t hurt her’, followed by Remilia saying she was a government agent when the leader of a yakuza family was in the room. That information wasn’t even accurate! The HWIC is a private organization! “I didn’t ask for your opinion, hacker!” She spat.
Sarah’s expression softened slightly when she saw that Jun’s tiara was able to cut the streamers coming from the demon. So there was a way to combat this monster. “But is that going to be enough…” Sarah muttered to herself. She shot a glare at the unhelpful Mai and Laura, then turned her attention back to Jun. Didn’t they have a plan to banish this demon if they couldn’t secure it? What was that plan...banishment scrolls! But where would Jun keep them? The dress didn’t look like it had pockets…
Her eyes then fell upon the purse slung around Jun’s left shoulder. “So that’s the ticket, huh?” Sarah said to nobody in particular, readying her sword. Just one quick slash, and that purse would be her’s. Taking one step forward, Sarah used the cover of both Akane and Remilia’s assault to teleport behind Jun and aim a downward slash directly at the purse handle. If successful, Sarah would grab the purse off the ground and leap backwards to avoid any streamers that might come her way.

Laura ignored Sarah's glare, just fixating on Jun. She was growing increasingly battered, seizing up when Remilia fired her taser. Sarah's swift slash took the purse and her quick dodge saved her from angry streamers. The tiara looped out and back like a boomerang, slicing off an ear on the way out and back. Jun wailed in agony and collapsed to her knees. "Huh. It looks like you're right. Jun doesn't stand a chance. She's really shamefully incompetent, isn't she?" She glanced back at Hachiro and waved him away. "I don't care about you, old man. I have a date. Leave while you have the chance." She pulled Mai to lean on her, no longer paying attention to the other side of the pool.
Jun swayed on her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Even with this, am I nothing?" She twitched. Something was different now. Jun spoke, but within her voice there were whispers. "Jun, you are letting Valifor influence you. It is using your rage to make you think its actions are yours." The Shattered One spoke, but she couldn't hear its voice over the other voice in her skull. "She isn't taking you seriously, even now. She looks down on you. Punish her. Take. Take it all." The other voice hissed, and she listened. With a noise like a gunshot, Hachiro's ki erupted around her. "Akane! You think you're so much fucking better than me!" Her hand reached for her sword and pulled it free, faster than Jun should be capable of moving even without the paralysis.
"Pardon my language..." She lowered her head. "I would hate for your last memories of me to be so uncouth!" In a whirlwind of motion, she exploded forward, white ki fueling her furious strikes. Her muscles bulged and her skin tore with each strike, ki that did not belong to her far beyond the limits of her body to control. This did not stop her as she drove forward, seeking to carve through Akane with each hit. Even as she swung, tendrils of steam reached out. Even one touching Akane's armor would steal it away. "Shattered One, fight with me!" She roared. "Absolutely not! You are not yourself, Jun!" The Shattered One screamed back and Jun fell to mindless yelling.
"Shit, she can use the stuff she takes!?" Laura jumped to her feet and Jun's eyes turned to her. "Laura! You're worse than Akane! You said you could kill me and nobody could stop you!" She stepped and found herself on the other side of the pool, stumbling at the speed she had just used. Her soles were skinned by the feat she had just pulled, leaving red footprints on the tile. Laura sweat as Jun stared her down. She raised her spear. Jun struck once and the sprearhead fell away. She didn't even have time to respond before Jun's sword stabbed through her abdomen. Golden blood began leaking out at an alarming rate as Jun reached her hand up to grip Laura's neck. "Now I'm going to kill you. And nobody can stop me." She glared at Mai past Laura.

Mai smiled from afar and gave Sarah the finger in response to her glare, further letting her know she didn't give a damn about the situation. She leaned towards the demi-goddess as she kept looking at the encounter
Akane had a bad feeling the moment she got too close, she wanted to fall back, but by the time she noticed she was in too deep, Jun raged against Akane, her claim was completely wrong, something that made her hesitate
"What?! that's not-"
the tendrils extended even faster and Akane barely dodged, or so she thought. Somehow she was left just with her insulator suit, had that thing managed to steal her armor?! no, the virtual machine interface was gone as well! she had taken away her Slayer model entirely!
The demon inside Jun rampaged and shifted towards another target, she lounged towards Laura, leaving Mai to witness both her sister losing the virtual machine and the Demi-goddess getting stabbed.
An aura of rage covered Mai from head to toe, she had never felt so angry before, she would murder Jun and everyone who got in her way. Mai began shaking and that's when Akane knew things were gonna go wrong. Her sister always joked around, never taking things too seriously, she never expressed anger either, the sight of Mai completely pissed off made Akane unconsciously give a step back, she then remembered the last time she saw her angry, it was a tantrum she made when she was a kid, despite being six years old only her father was able to stop her.
Akane moved in front of Mai. If she was to attack like that the shattered one would surely die.
"You gotta calm down, Sis, you need to sto-"
Akane's words were driven out of her as Mai punched her in the stomach, even without the perfect warrior, Mai had sent her sister flying away effortlessly. Akane blocked using her blade, but that did not stop her from coughing blood. Mai kept advancing, further fueled by her inner rage.
"Get the fuck out of my way, not in the mood for your stupid shit" -Mai exclaimed briefly after sending her sister flying away, she indeed went easy on her sister, the true target of her anger was right in front of her after all.
Mai closed her fist as orgone energy began to gather, this attack was nothing like her previous ones, the ground below her shattered as more and more energy gathered within herself.
"The sixty-four arts: शिव का ब्लेड" (blade of Shiva)
Mai's palm attack was not benevolent, she wanted to crush Jun's head off along with everything else in that direction. Akane stood up still startled by the hit, she knew that even with her virtual machine that could easily be fatal. Mai's attacks were devastating but incredibly precise, the entire force was focused in a single point, she did her best not to get Laura caught, but with how she felt right now, her judgment wasn't the best.

The tasers didn't really help. Remilia wasn't made for battles of pure power! With her equipment being ineffective when applies non-lethally, the quantum hacker was starting to feel useless.
While Remilia tried to think of ways to take Jun down non-lethally since she wanted lethal methods only as a last resort, Jun attacked the demigoddess Mai was flirting with. This pissed off Mai, who displayed incredible strength with a single push that injured Akane. Such strength would probably be lethal to Jun. So that was what Remilia could do.
Remilia aimed at Mai, her Worm getting off of cooldown just as Mai was throwing a punch. If she managed to steal away Mai's overwhelming strength, she would use the third of Mona's speed and the third of Mai's strength to get behind Jun and kick her knee from behind to get her lower to the ground. If she could do that, she'd try to wrap her legs around Jun, one around her neck and another beneath her arm, using her weight to push her down and hold her arm. Remilia was improvising an armbar from behind (since she didn't want to be exposed to the streamers from the front).

Standing several meters away from the action, Sarah looked down at the purse in her hands and began to dig around in it. "Come on...where is it?!" She asked in frustration, finally able to pull out the scroll. She then placed it inside of her pants pocket and turned to see Jun explode with Hachiro's ki, stabbing Laura and enraging Mai. "So that's what it takes to motivate her, huh...?" Sarah muttered to herself, rolling her eyes. Her own stealth force operatives would have helped out from the beginning. At least both Akane and Remilia had the decency to help out, though it appeared that Akane had lost her armor, Sarah's eyes flashing red to observe the monstrous strength Jun now had.
Seeing that Akane held the tiara and how Jun was currently facing the wrath of Mai and Remilia, Sarah decided to teleport to the warrior that was blown away and knelt down to address her. "Here's the situation." Sarah began. "It looks like that tiara is the only thing that can cut those streamers. I have a scroll that can banish the demon." Sarah reached into her pocket to show the scroll. "I need you to make an opening for me to get close so I can use the scroll. Your sister is causing too much collateral right now." She explained, looking at the destroyed ground beneath Mai and the blast she was throwing at Jun. "So can I count on you?" She asked, offering a hand for Akane to stand up with. Akane did seem to be the most capable and competent one out of the others, but was she still able to keep up without the armor?
