Arriving at the Central Room, Katrielle can be seen manning a few holographic screens; one displaying the map and such, the others displaying everyone else's status.

"Yep, that's a Fool alright–a different kind from the last one. Right on schedule, too." Katrielle clicked her tongue, noting that one of those Shadowy Goop people showed up again. She then took notice of Destoroyah, who had finished a rather refreshing drink of the blue flask. "Ah, perfect timing! Some guys discovered a new type of that thing we fought back at the first floor. I need you to go support them. Directly south from here."
After a rather long slumber, Vert awoke, stretching her arms and yawning as she stood up. Dusting herself off from all the things that had happened during her sleep, she looked around.

"Where...? Where am I?"

Looking around, she noticed Katrielle which put a smile on her face, though it was a faint one.

"Katrielle...? What happened whilst I was out?"

" I knew that there was something else about the tarot cards that I forgot about, it makes the area become an open arena and it destroys the room we are in, so I would suggest running out of here," he replied, running towards the door and keeping an eye out for anyone else who would need the help to get out of the room.

Cameron would make a quick ice path and speed skate out of the area as fast as he could. "I feel like that might be something that is a little hard to forget, but I'll let you have a pass on this one for now."

Nicholas Harris

Nicholas was relieved when his attack would hit and he took a deep breath, deciding what to do next. He had six minutes left and he doubted that using lightning or fire would be of much use. He decided to keep his cufflinks off and took a deep breath, closing his eyes and focusing on concentrating on the energy near the creature and make explosions around it to deal some damage.

    "Hey, jackass! Get you and your friends here already!" Mordred took note of the trio finally finished getting their acts together, yelling at the group with a wave. "If you lot are gonna take a break, you should do it over here!" She explained, soon running off to follow her Father.

    "You'd think that being a Space Monster would make you be aware enough to not drink random juices you pick up without tasting it…" Katrielle told Des as she ran a quick analysis on the Kaiju's body and found…"I don't know what to tell you, chief. There's nothing wrong with your body. Looks like it's some blueberry juice. Or Wine. Either way, lucky you." She says just in time for Vert to wake up right after Artoria's makeshift Roundtable Knights made their way to the southern opening(whom which, found a glowing wall right at the turn to the west just before the southeastern area got cleared). The Green Goddess proceeded to ask about the events that had previously transpired.

    "Well, for one, the Bugman agreed to help us. They're currently cleaning things up at the Southwest." Katrielle explained, "Next up on the list, is the appearance of this Floor's The Fool; basically the Guardian, or my personal favorite term, The Super Boss. Beat it, and there shouldn't be any more problems unlocking the Stairs now that more than half of the corners have fallen since those keep it unbeatable." She explained why she had Des and Artoria go after it despite her earlier warnings against it. "At least, that's my personal hypothesis. Why else would it only actively attack us after collecting the 4 corners' Tarot Cards?"

    When the gang made it out of the pocket space alive, the group would be spat out of the door of light they once used to enter right as the light expanded and practically exploded, blowing away the walls of this particular area of the maze; all except that lovely circular lounge smack dab in the middle of the place, now appearing similar to a garden palanquin. Something for Ken to take note of.

    There's also this glowing engraved wall right at the western area near the very south of the maze; looks pretty important.

    Lancelot would move ahead of everyone and enter the western opening of the lounge, finding that the path immediately curves south; how convenient for the Black Knight.

    Snapping out of its stun, The Fool(II) attempted to dodge roll away from the burning knee; only for him to DIRECTLY POSITION HIS FACE IN FRONT OF CROSS-Z MAGMA'S FALCON DRAGONIC RIDER KNEE, causing a massive release in explosive power as The Fool(II)'s head was spiked directly onto the wall before ragdolling onto the ground, sliding slowly away from him.

    By all accounts, that amount of force is SUPPOSED to kill a guy; but The Fool is no ordinary guy.

    Slowly it got up, sounds of bones cracking all over as lightning surged around its body once more. It takes a deep breath, as if to now anticipate Cross-Z's next move. Once more;

    It's plotting something.

    When Kaito and the group entered the Corner, they would be EXTREMELY late to the party as there's a group of 'players' already on the boss' metaphorical ass. Choirs of gunfire going off, beams of light scattering about like fireflies along with a rapid fire icicles shooting straight at the somewhat immobile Pillar as Adam swoops in and suplexes the fucker, leaving a crater on its courtroom.

    "Better move outta the way, babe!" Cell calls out, finishing preparing his actual attack through his subsequent misfires. "You're in the BLAST ZONE!" He chuckles as the fireflies began to move, shooting themselves towards The Pillar itself regardless of whether or not Adam had moved, resulting in multiple explosions that, with the aid of Nicholas, could be likened to a nuclear one. A powerful force, without the radiation of one.

    And yet, despite all that; The Pillar remained standing; now glowing light that seeped through the cracks of their body. The ground began to shake as they began to float from the ground, chains bursting out of their body and shooting towards everyone in the room!

  • Filia let out a sigh of relief once everyone had made it out of the collapsing room. Now they're at some sort of lounge. "Is everyone alright?" Filia asked looking at her comrades before taking note of the glowing wall and it seemed she's not willing to take the risk. Someone else should if they dare.

    @ThePotatoGod @LuckycoolHawk9 @noob13241

  • As they make their way down to where The Fool is, Artoria took notice of the glowing wall on the right. "Master..." She turned to Hakuno, hoping for a suggestion, or if anyone else would like to take it down and see what's on the other side.

  • After landing the suplex, Cell yelled at everyone to move away. Adam quickly dashed away from the downed Pillar as the energy orbs hurl themselves at them. Unfortunately, they weren't enough to take it down, soon floated off the ground and shot out chains. Adam would deflect them with his brass knuckle and hopefully not get tangled by then.

  • Ryuga Banjo - Southwest
    As the impact of his hit sends the FOOL away, Banjo's entire body feels as if it's burning up with how much adrenaline is flowing in his blood.
    These punches.
    These kicks.
    Every single part of this fight is rushing through him as thinking leaves the rider's mind and instincts guide his every move...

    Before he hears a bang in the distance and in a faint glance...

    He sees a kid(?) through the glowing walls that are staring right at him and the fight...To say his mood is killed is overstating it, but it does cool it for him to think for a split second. And looking at his enemy... definitely necessary as their electricity is going wild once more.

    Not in the same sense as they did prior in readying an attack, but charging for something nonetheless. Logic dictates it can only be for either a recovery move (Which given Banjo's aggression earlier, would have to be an idiot to do) or another attack, but if it's the latter they wouldn't be waiting like that...unless it was aiming for a cross-counter scenario.

    However, such a plan only works with the right timing and when it comes to that, the counter to that counter is simple. Fuck up the timing, as Banjo proceeds to do as he cranks his Driver for another finisher as he roars and proceeds to boost into the air towards them...before pulling out his Knuckle and canceling the "VOLCANIC FINI-" as his thrusters pause midair from where they were going to boost straight into a kick, now changes direction as he twists midair to land close to the FOOL.

    And goes to straight up deck him.

    Whereas Filia and others might not wanna risk poking at things that might be dormant beasts, none do such a thing without hesitation more than a child.

    And Ken doesn't hesitate as the group sees him do his knife-launching trick once again and lands near those glowing walls...before he plants his face onto it to see what seems to be...okay it's hard to see through it, but he can say safely that it is very bright inside.

    To a point where he has zero clues as to what's going on in there even as he feels the wall give with him pressing against it. He doesn't wanna test it much more than that though so he turns to where the group is still and proceeds to yell...

    And given the lack of walls around the maze practically gets heard by everybody.

  • Mami Tomoe & Blanc & Shinji Matou

    "What?! Are you craz-Oough!"

    A ribbon snags Blanc, as it quickly pulls her out from the soon-to-be blasted hellhole that Cell's attack was about to make! "Everyone! Get out of here!" Mami shouted, she herself getting ready to take cover somewhere as Cell's energy projectiles begin to shoot toward the Pillar! An explosion ruptures from the center as the attack makes its mark on the Pillar, although it wasn't as massive as the earlier attack he had done in that hall. Still, it was powerful enough that if anyone who was close to the pillar stayed there, they would've certainly died.

    Although, it seems like the pillar hasn't died yet..

    "Ooh.. seems like you guys are having a little trouble with this guy.." Shinji comments. He certainly seemed strong. After all, taking all that and not really giving a damn about it? He must be some kind of next-level boss!

    As the glowing lights seeped through its body, the ground quakes as the Martyr floats in the air. Mami readies her gun as Blanc lifts her hammer once more, ready for whatever's about to happen when chains burst out of its body towards everyone in the general direction!

    Taking this as his cue, Shinji decides to cast a code!

    [ release_mgi(a); -> all ]

    Targeting all without saying a word, Shinji releases the paralyzing code cast! Those none the wiser to where the source of hostile mana could've come from would think it to be part of the boss's attack no doubt!

    "Gah! I can't move!"

    "T-tch! What the hell is this?!"

    Mami and Blanc take the full brunt of the shock, as they watch the chains shooting toward them!

    "Saber, put the nail in the coffin for that Boss!" Shinji shouted!

  • "I see. Sigh... Working with him has got to be infuriating..."

    Vert exclaimed as she listened to the rest of Katrielle's explanations. The boss of the level has arrived? That's an interesting thought. Looks like the way this place worked was similar to the MMOs she binges.

    "Where is this Super Boss?"

  • Rom watched from the sidelines as a paralyzing attack was about to connect. She rose up a shield of Ice in front of her to protect herself but it only barely worked, shattering the ice to pieces. She then watched as Blanc looked like they were being restrained.

    "..Blanc..? That's it.. Access..!"

    Suddenly a bright light started enveloping the room as Rom started to glow. It took a few seconds but eventually the light dissipated as a new form took Rom's place:

    1676724958221.png

    "I'm not going to take it easy any more! Blanc, it's time for me to protect you as White Sister!"

    She then turned towards the Pillar and rose her wand upwards.

    "I'll let you freeze in eternal hell!"

    Her wand sparkled and then surrounded the Pillar in a ice-cold Blizzard! She then slammed the back of her wand into the ground like a Sword.

    "Even your Soul will be frozen!"

    A large energy blast came out from the source of the insertion, moving towards the Blizzard. Once it connected, the center of the Blizzard bloomed into a tree made of pure Ice which would be sure to cause a large amount of damage!

    "You thought it was over?! I'll rip your soul to pieces!"

    White Sister then aimed her wand upward and shot a projectile into the sky which then formed into a large Ice Sword! It was then sent straight towards the Ice Tree and exploded, causing a large concentration of Winter energy; shattering the Icebergs as well as the Sword itself.

    Anyone in this blast radius would feel a tremendous amount of damage, just what was this little girl capable of?!

"Alright, alright..." Yuuji sighed before half leading- half dragging the other two over to the room[?], just in time to see Mordred run off somewhere else.
"What do you think we should do...?" Kaoru asked uncertainly as they stood there together in a triangle.
It didn't really seem like there was anything to do...
"Why don't we explore?" Sakuto asked, looking around the place. "This seems really big...do you know anything about it?" he asked Yuuji, who shook his head no. "Nah, we got here awhile ago. Apparently, all these people are trying to get to the top of the tower..." he trailed off.
"Also, I don't think it's a good idea to get lost here." Kaoru interrupted quickly but gently.
"Alright..." Sakuto said dejectedly, still looking around.

    "We'll…Just have to get used to it." Katrielle let out a nervous chuckle, not even wanting to know how everyone else would be faring with the enigmatic bugman. "Directly south from here. There should be a bunch of people already heading there as we speak. Just look for anything funky, and you should find it. Are you sure you can fight right now? You did just pass out from overexerting yourself." She asked, worried about the goddess' own health and safety considering what just happened. She would've said the same thing with Ruby, but the Red Riding Hood was far too fast for her to issue any actual warnings.

    If that's the case, then she takes a moment to breathe.

    "I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means…" Hirari gulps, glancing at Filia.

    The Fool didn't seem fazed by Cross-Z switching strikes from a kick to a punch, instead, it seemed to let the volcanic rider reach him as the lightning intensified; as soon as Cross-Z threw that punch, he would discover that the figure was nothing more than an after image made of lightning; like some kinda Speed Mirage, The Fool would reappear behind Cross-Z, preparing to throw another Black Magma and lightning infused punch at the Rider right as the wall near Solstice began to move, responsible for it were, of course, more people. A lot of which, were blonde swordsmaiden with a brown haired one in the middle of them.

    "There! That disgusting goop creature!" The Red Saber pointed out, "It looks different than last I saw it. Stay alert!" She drew her blade, prepared to engage at a moment's notice.

    "Oh man, we're late to the party, aren't we?" Juran chuckled, taking out his gun as he and his crew of robots inserted small golden gears onto the lids. The trio prepares to don their suits once more for combat as Shinji began to prepare his devious act against his own supposed allies. As a precaution, Saber took out and Installed two more Books, coating most of her left side in yellow lightning, clothing now depicting a strip of hedgehog in the middle and the golden, arabian genie look on the left shoulder and sleeve.

    "Oof! That's new!" Cell grunted as the glowing chains impaled his perfect body's liver–right where the pompous child that killed him once struck to make him spit out one of his siblings, which allowed him to attain and maintain perfection–a flaw, for sure, but one that made him raise a brow considering it actually managed to reach him. He chuckled, thinking that it's finally time for him to get up close and personal with the chained Martyr.

    Though before everyone could react, an invisible wave enacted as Shinji activated his code cast, causing streaks of lightning to crawl all over everyone's bodies except for Shinji and his Servant.

    "Kya!" Klee shrieked as the child felt the lightning restrict her movements along with Jean, falling to the floor as Saber called off the other two books and instead channeled them onto her blade, launching ahead of the crowd under Shinji's command.

    "Kaen Juujizan!" Saber called out as the Dragon on her red jacket shoulder turned into a red fire construct that the swordswoman bounced off of as she struck the Pillar multiple tiles, drawing the Minotaur above ground as The Pillar attempted to bound the Servant in chains, which only allowed the Dragon Construct to swoop in and deal the final blow, causing the chains to break. It's also right as a little girl transformed into a blue haired one, attacking the already dead Pillar as it was breaking apart; fortunately, due to the elevation, the explosion wasn't a problem. It only served to accentuate Saber's cool landing as she stuck her free hand out, catching the card that fell out of the corpse.

    Walking back to Shinji's side, the area began to collapse around them. She glanced at Shinji, as if silently asking to free everyone else of their paralysis. If he even wants to.

  • Ryuga Banjo - Southwest
    Banjo's predictions of the FOOL aiming to pull a counter on him would prove true. His instincts are too strong to miss such a read on anybody, especially after a moment of focus either...

    What he didn't expect was the weird speed of it in reacting to his quick jab. And with it vanishing from view, his body is already screaming with every fiber of his body to move.

    Turning around would take too much time as he's already feeling static in the air across his back.
    For a moment, he goes to twist his body to throw a kick backward to try and utilize the difference in range compared to a punch, but with his blindspot being so wide behind him, there's no guarantee of not making a more prominent spot to hit for the FOOL.

    And then he connects the two thoughts as he thrusts his leg to the side before one side of the thrusters on his back roar into action to forcefully swing his body into a reverse roundhouse kick as he slots his driver back into place.

    ...It should be noted that the rider does not notice the newcomers to the fight.

  • Mami Tomoe & Blanc & Shinji Matou

    Protected by her sister, Blanc could only watch as Rom moved in to finish off the Pillar for good. Unable to move, she could not do anything to fight or help out Rom, only being able to grit her teeth as she endure the paralyzing shock that had suddenly coursed itself through her body. Just how, though?

    Seems like almost everyone around her had gotten shocked too. Guess nobody had resistance to it..!

    Thankfully, the Pillar was nearing its end. More people just came in at the right time, and before those chains could do anything, someone must've shot an attack first, as the Pillar suddenly froze in place, unable to take another action. Rom's attack, combined with that of one of the new strangers who just got here, blew up and destroyed every little bit of the Pillar, as his body cracked and torn itself asunder.

    As the room started to crack apart, Shinji got a glance from his Servant. Was she seriously wanting her to let everyone else go now? Well, whatever. He won, and got the winning prize. With a quick code cast, he removed the area-wide stun from everyone, Blanc and Mami were now suddenly able to move their limbs, relaxing and stretching out their arms and legs, expressions confused as if to try and figure out what the heck had just happened.

    "W-we're free now... but, we have to get out of here as soon as possible.." Mami commented, noting as the area around them started to quake!

Nicholas Harris

If there were certain things that Nicholas hated, it was the fact that his attack was interpreted and that he was unable to move for a period of time, there was no telling if he would be let go. There of course was another detail that the man who did this attack couldn't have known. His power took concentration and when he lost focus by being paralyzed, they would just release. "Yeah, I think an explosion that came from the disrupted attack might be making things worse.... so we might want to move rather quickly out of here for the room can and might collapse on us faster."

Ben held Cameron back because he had a feeling that this would be a tough fight. " Sometimes I think it's best to pick our battles and I think enough people are headed to that enemy, we might want to see if something else pops up meant to stop people."

Cameron nodded for now, mostly because Ben had a surprisingly strong grip and it was a bit hard to remove himself from.

Cloe sighed with relief. Her spell worked! It took a lot longer than it would have with human flesh and bone although trying something new felt so exciting she couldn't help giving herself a big pat on the back. She had managed to combine her basic healing magic with a touch of time reversal and welding. She also appealed to the god of luck that she would be able to do it on the fly, and with no time to spare.

Just as she had finished repairing Canti's hand and collapsed into his arms from exhaustion, everyone became paralyzed. This was due to some ability used by another warrior who finished off the area boss. Canti struggled to hold on as the ground started to shift and break apart. The whole arena was going to collapse! What was that idiot thinking!

Canti braced for the worst. His cold metal arms were wrapped firmly around Cloe so they wouldn't be separated in any case. Cloe knew however that the presence of the god of luck lingered and kept her hope alive that they would manage to escape the situation unharmed.

Soon her prediction came true. The one who cast the paralysis spell released it and Canti was free to move again. Cloe climbed onto his back and held on tight as he took to the air, flying away from the hole caused by the collapsed ground and in the direction of identified acquaintance Blanc and her friend Mami. Canti would attempt to scoop them up and anyone else he could carry while looking for an exit along with everyone else.

It was chaos within the final Pillar's Corner. The ground shook as its core was defeated. Tarot Cards that held the place together taken by a red clad swordsmaiden. It didn't really take much for anyone to move and take action, with Cell mumbling and grumbling about being blue balled by that blue haired wannabe protagonist.

Stepping out of the Doorway of Light, the ground shook once more and the walls blasted off of the floor the same way they did the first time around, leaving behind a few walls standing, but most of them. With the entire floor cleared out, the bricks that once comprised the walls of the Labyrinth now gather around the center room's glass ceiling, forming a rather loose and spread apart spiral staircase. An indicator of where to go next for Shinji.

If only a familiar face didn't appear to greet them for their victory…

    "Can't do much about that now." Katrielle simply chuckled at the mention of being drained, "All you need to do is to take a breather. I'm sure we have more than enough people out there handling things." She said, just as she heard an explosive bang. Katrielle noted that the entire floor has been literally cleared; a glass podium appearing directly under the stained glass ceiling, with 6 rectangular grooves on them. Seeing this, the Detective opens up an announcement to the fighters; including the Kaoru and Yuuji.

    'The Staircase has appeared! If anyone has a golden card in their possession, please return to the middle of the labyrinth! We'll need them to gain access to the staircase.'

    She ended the line, focusing her efforts on monitoring who might swing back to give the cards to the Detective.

    "So your world…What's it like?" Katrielle asked the resting Vert. "The concept of other worlds is always fascinating to me, you see. I'm curious what sort of logic is different from my world to yours." She let her curiosity guide her question, using it as a means of trying to bond with another.

    Once more, two fiery forces met in a clash, with Banjo's reverse roundhouse meeting with The Fool(II)'s somewhat half assed right hook. Both forces struggle against one another until Cross-Z manages to overpower the fiery mimic's punch, leaving the shadowy man to stumble back as a knife flies towards the creature seemingly out of nowhere.

    Though as The Fool landed his foot back, he took the opportunity to twist his body in a swift 360 and his free leg raised unnaturally. Like a bat meeting a baseball, a loud bang sends it spinning midair as it left cuts on his foot, planting it back on the ground as the creature clenched his fist; soon striking the knife and sending it straight towards Filia like an arrow loosed from a crossbow!

    The Fool(II) wasn't given a moment of rest as The De-Facto Roundtable Sabers Knights came in swinging. With Jaune taking the lead and running up to The black clad Shadow and bashing it with his shield. The sudden intrusion left The Fool(II) no room to react as he stumbled, allowing the blue Saber to leap in for an attack, raising an invisible sword as The Fool(II) threw another punch to parry what he thought was an overhead smash with both hands, parrying the invisible sword and knocking the Blue Knight back as Nero and Mordred surrounded The Fool II. Their battle cries alerting the shadow warrior, leaving behind a Speed Mirage as both Sabers tried to slice down The Fool, only to end up clashing swords with one another.

    "Ho?!"

    "Speedy son of a–!"


    Both swordmaidens could only react in shock as The Fool (II) reappeared above them, pressing his nail against his thumb, sparking as currents of air gather around. Seeing its beloved Human Mother get threatened by what it assumed to just be a Shadowy Pokemon, the Kirlia's hands lit aflame as he span in place, soon putting them together as the rings of fire formed by her hands shrunk into her palms as he then aimed it at the charging shadow, releasing a stream of Mystical Fire at it, intent on saving his Mother.

    Noticing this in a flinch, The Fool(II) is once more forced to change his aim at the incoming fire stream, letting it loose and canceling out the Mystical Flame, leaving The Fool(II) defenseless as it falls from the sky!

    "Launching Code Cast!" Hakuno, who has been silently and diligently working on a Multi-Target Healing Code pressed the enter key of her holographic keyboard as her silver ring let out a bright pulse of light. Under everyone, including Cross-Z and Solstice, would be a yellow magic circle as it let out a stream of light, rejuvenating their health and stamina; for Solstice, it had the added benefit of instantly resetting The Omnitrix's cooldown into literal 0, allowing him to finally transform.

    "Lo and behold, the golden brick walls that stood the test of time shatter as it gather around the eye of the hurricane." Saber spoke as she took note of the bricks gathering at the center palanquin like room they passed by whilst heading south. "Surely that must be our goal." She said, taking the lead right as a familiar shadowy figure emerged from the marble tiles. A feminine figure lunging at Saber with a golden lance. Saber managed to block with her flame sword, locked behind crossed blades. "You again!"

    "WARNING. ASCENDANTS SUCCESSFULLY ELIMINATED THIS LABYRINTH'S PILLARS." The Fool(I) spoke in yet another monotone voice, this time, sounding a bit more alarmed. "INITIATING ENDGAME DIRECTIVE. ELIMINATING ON SIGHT–" As it spoke, The Fool(I) got interrupted by a flurry of well aimed shots, knocking the figure off of Saber as it stumbled, leaving behind traces of white goop like blood.

    "That wasn't Full-On nice of you, man! We could've died!" Spoke the stupidly cheery tone of the man in the blue jacket, Kaito Goshikida, now clad in what Shinji would describe as a white Mystic Code, complete with a white cape on a golden chestplate with a Power Ranger like helmet. Behind him were the other players in the Pillar's domain, almost as if they're all working together. Helping each other escape the crumbling domain with relative ease.

    "At least it didn't get the jump on me this time! " Kaito laughed as he approached Saber, getting ahead of her as The Fool's gunshot wound seemingly recovers, twitching in what seems to be mechanical pain. "Hey, you got the cards, right?"

    "Yeah, what of it?" Saber asked, lowering her sword to listen to what he knows.

    "Bring them to where the bricks are gathering; there should be a thingy that needs the cards to open the stairs." Kaito instructed. "The gang and I will handle this guy!" He says, pointing at The Fool.

    "...You're a strange player."

    "Hm?" Kaito glanced at the Servant, confused

    "It's nothing. Kick his butt for me, will you?" Saber giggled, turning to Shinji who probably heard everything. As the Master Servant pair ran ahead, Kaito and his gang of Ascendants were on a standstill against The Fool, approaching them.

    "Alright, gang…" Kaito's visor let out a sparkling glint. "Let's have at it–FULL ON FULL POWER!"

Lancelot would walk towards the giant with a singular horn protruding from his head, Des, and asks him, "Could you throw me at that thing?" As he pointed up at The Fool(II).

Des looks down towards the knight, Lancelot, "Throw you? Alright." Des grabs the knight by the collar of his suit and throws him at The Fool(II).

Lancelot, after being thrown, puts his hand at his waist and a sword and sheath appeared where he was reaching. As Lancelot unsheathed Arondight, his armor would also appear on him and he would take a slash at thing.

Meanwhile
Solstice sees that his Omnitrix is working not wasting anytime he cycles through his options and presses it in.

    It's with the sudden arrival of multiple groups into the fight that Banjo pauses for a second. Half out of figuring out if they're allies or not, and the other...well, he's not very used to sudden gang violence popping up for a fight, with there being only one time he's seen this many people teaming up.

    Well, there was one more time, but that was less teaming and more mob violence. Still, the point stands that working in such large numbers is a new thing, enough so that he watches as everything goes down as he's on one knee catching his breath.

    And it is only when the Code Cast activates and gives him a heal that he's on his feet ready to rejoin. Doesn't forget to give a "Thanks" to the girl who seemed to cast it before cranking his driver to go fly up high and go for a kick while the chance is still there.

    Honestly, he wasn't expecting his knife launch to really work as well as it did. Say what you will about the kid, but Ken is used to playing support or an aggro sponge in conflict, not throwing hands. Literal included given the one earlier was his first time throwing one.

    So, with his one hit sent in, he concludes that his job here is done and promptly-
    Teleports to his knife, now being the projectile sent flying towards Filia. He's not particularly too bothered by the circumstances, as he is still prime to cancel his momentum at any moment.

    If anything, this helps him get farther away from the fight to be on his way anyways...and given the announcement, should probably go take the card from the duo he was with to pass it along. Given they'll probably be sticking around to fight more than he will.
