Team Maaya: The Hawk and the Ox

[ZeroNumerous]

Manabu

Gathering up the families proves easy. Remi's father, Masako's parents and her little sister, Keiji's mom, and Yoko's older brother are all painlessly gathered together with their respective relatives. Manabu heads to the exit according to the plan, but instead of a clear escape he finds Kyohei standing there with a smile on his face. Remi looks toward Kyohei, then starts dashing toward him. "Kyosuke!"

"Kyosuke" just smiles at the songstress, but makes no move toward her. After all, he fully expected Manabu to stop her eventually. Instead, he just waits and watches.

Momo and Takuya

As soon as Takuya starts going through the hand motions both Emiko and Kyohei split up and dash opposite directions. Takuya can catch either Emiko, Gonzou, or Kyohei but not two or more of them with his technique.

Regardless of the results, Momo's technique goes off. The flames wrap around Gonzou, but he survives the fire. Immediately he shouts for his men. "Kill her!" But before his men can move Kyohei draws and throws a knife into Gonzou's back. The surprise attack hits Gonzou square between the shoulder-blades, and the gorilla in a suit falls to his knees. The betrayal surprises all the men there, as well as Emiko. Kyohei straightens up, and looks to the grunts then to the sky-nin. Momo's explosive fire technique kills several of the grunts, and the others immediately surrender.

"Kill them all and I'll call off the hunt on those girls."

Gonzou's Reflex Save: (1d20+2)[18]. If he fails, then he drops to -4 and is dead for all intents and purposes.

Takuya needs to select a new target for his technique.
