After a while of constant glaring at each other, a hologram of the Clergy Pululu appeared in front of them and broke their gaze for the announcement.

"Only one minute remains! It's time for the special item!" The Pululu announced, catching both of their full attention.

"Special Item?" Both of them repeated at the same time as the Pululu tossed a Coin-like medal, with an image of a dancing Pululu, high into the air as it glowed in bright golden light.

"Special Item: Golden Akong!" Said the announcer as a radiant golden Akong slowly hovered down to the ground before running around the arena at an unbelievable speed.
"The Golden Akong can turn the tide of battle, however, only a minute remains before the game is over so one of you better catch it before the time runs out!"

After that, the Pululu vanished and they were left in silence while the Golden Akong was roaming the area.

Yuu quickly glanced at Salena and spoke in his thoughts.
"(Alright... Just like what you did with Hanabi. It doesn't matter how fast she is... Listen to the sound of her footsteps when she vanished. She's moving at a very astonishing speed but there will always be a sound or vibration when she places one foot in front of the other... All of you have to do is feel it and anticipate her next attack)"
After finishing what he said, Yuu slowly bent down and placed his right palm on the ground. Feeling the cold sensation of the floor as he slowed his breathing to focus only on the sound and vibration as he kept his eyes on Salena who was still standing from a distance. He could feel the vibration that the small Pululu was making with each of its quick steps and made him feel ready for her next move.

When Salena lowered herself and posed as if she was about to sprint. She instantly vanished before his sight, leaving faint trails of Electricity. Yuu focused with all his mind on the sound or vibration, but to his surprise, he felt or heard nothing. When his eyes widened of the realization, Salena had already appeared next to him and kicked him directly on the side of his head. Dazed, Yuu rolled to the side but quickly tried to get back up to prepare for her next attack.

"(This can't be! I didn't feel her running at all! I felt the vibration when she took her first step and the second vibration when she appeared next to me... She wasn't running... Then that means... She was hopping?! She hopped forward at the speed of light and reappeared next to me?! That's impossible!)" His vision suddenly got a bit blurry. The injury he sustained from her kick gave him a slight contusion to the side of his head. Then, Salena vanished and was seen reappearing next to the Golden Akong. She tried to catch it but not only was the Along too slippery for her fur-covered hands, but it was also fast and agile to dodge most of her attempts as it continued to run while Salena effortlessly catches up from behind.
"(No other choice then... I can't defeat her in combat, not here... Not when there's a timer. I need to win this by catching the Little Akong. I guess I have no choice... This is going to hurt so bad...)"
With already bearing Salena's first power. He flashes his red eyes and copied Salena's second power as well. Replacing the first one as a stream of waving pain came for around his eyes. The human wanted to scream but he shook it off and place all his strength and attention towards the Golden Akong. 

With one leap, he vanished, leaving a trail of Lightning behind just like the bunny.

When Salena tried to catch the Akong once more, Yuu instantly stepped in and shoved her with force and momentum he gained from the flashing leap. The bunny flew and crashed on the wall but still manages to stand up with a minimum injury. When she saw Yuu reappearing next to the sprinting Akong with sparks of electricity following him, she was immediately surprised when she manages to catch a glimpse of a black bolt of electricity, tinged with red, bouncing off of Yuu's body.
