"Come on out! Wherever you are. Let's settle this man to man." Maigashi shouted.
The chime suddenly comes to a stop. A strange fume of vapor mixes in the air. A puppet quickly swoops by surprise, causing Winoa and Maigashi to fall into the swamp. Sarah casts a wave of flames to clear the mist. Kabuki quickly dives in, delivering a strike at Sarah from behind.
"TIME FOR MY SPOTLIGHT!"
She gets knocked back, rolling across as Alistor draws his blade. Then, taking a swing with the Crown Sword, Kabuki pulls out his Suntetsu to defend himself.
"Finally decided to show up? A coward's attack." Alistor muttered.
He breaks free from Kabuki's claw, ready for another swing. But instead, Kabuki retreats to a tree high up. One hand to defend and the other to control his fiendish puppet.
"Fool! It's all about tactics and strategy. This terrain specifically suits my advantage. I'll show you why. We'll begin with some needles."
