gai's clones kept multiplying from two's to four's to six's and now eighth's

they made sure none of the running-man champions could escape while the real gai was occupied with kumiho

she was currently invisible to the eye as her hand reach down to grab him by the collar. she watch herself drag him into the training ground and beat him down on the cement floor, the rubble, and the broken pillars

her fist clutter on his face, directly on his mask and she put a hard punch in his stomach as he grunts and groans

after that, she put her fist into his nose to eliminate any vision he might have had. he's hurt but she kept going—making sure he can't move by the time she's done with him

❝ you said you'll protect your brothers ❞, she heaved out, her invisibility power died down, revealing herself, ❝ yet here you are, betraying them by joining the opposite team—pathetic ❞, she spat with such hostility

he quickly blocked her fist and swipe his leg under hers, causing her to lose her grip on his collar

he plucked the katana from her sheath and flung it at the face of the oncoming fox. she deflected it with her forearms, wincing at the sharp cut and went after him

he dunk down and grab her ankle, slamming her down to the hard floor. both hands interlocked her wrist together to restrict her movement as he reached for her emblem

❝ get away from her! ❞, liu screamed, knocking gai to the side with his knee and reached down to grab kumiho's forearm and pulled her up, ❝ come on, we need to head to the others! ❞

she wiped away the sweat gathering on her forehead and returned to the remaining four

❝ his eyes are identical to pala's when he went insane ❞, she said

❝ same aura as the DV7's too ❞, kuga added and backed away once he noticed gai approaching them

both kumiho and him stood upfront, blocking his view from the team and got into a fighting stance

❝ what the hell do you guys think you're doing?! ❞, popo cried and quickly climbed on kuga's shoulder, pulling harshly on the tiger's ears causing him to run the other direction with a loud yelp, ❝ we need to evacuate you dumbass—don't just stand there and fight when you're limping like a old man! ❞

❝ you're kidding me ❞, kumiho sweat dropped as she noticed they left her alone once again

picking up her katana that was laid on the floor, the clashing of steel filled the air as her blade collided with gai's watch

she continued thrusting her katana forward in quick movement as she danced around him

with a strike, the blade sliced through his hood, trapping him to the ground and leaving her enough time to escape

with one last glance to her katana, she knew there's no getting it back and took off to meet the others

❝ thanks for the heads up ❞, her tone sarcastic and dry

popo look down at her from kuga's shoulder and sent her a sheepish smile, ❝ sorry kumi..i panicked ❞

❝ yeah yeah whatever ❞, she mumbled and looked at the others, ❝ you think you can hold him down for a moment? ❞
