Mix: I think you know the answer to that.

Walker sighs, seemingly annoyed.

Walker: So I take it we're fighting?

Saten: What do you think?

Saten grins as she points her baseball bat at the glowing eyed man in front of them. However Mix quickly takes a step forward and moves between the two of them.

Mix: I know we said we'd both fight, but this guys like a version of Shirai with a sword. He's tough.

Saten: Sooo.. not exactly a whackable guy?

Mix: Not really. I'll take him. But can you do me a favor?

Mix reaches into his bag and passes of Frozen Soldier to her.

Saten: Hm..?

Mix: Hold onto him for a while. I've got a plan that might work.

Saten: Might?

Mix: Yep.

Saten: Heh.. Alright. Don't you dare get caught though.

Mix: Trust me. I've got no intention of being captured a second time.

Feeling somewhat assured, Saten backed up, soldier in hand as Mix turned his attention back to Walker. Since the room was almost pitch black, all he could really see was the eerie white glow of his eyes, and a glint of light reflecting off his sword from his eyes.

Walker: Done chatting?

Mix: Yep. I'm guessing this is the part where you teleport despite how dark it is?

Walker: Oh of course. The dark doesn't effect me. Plus I can teleport anywhere if I can envision it and it's close by.

Mix: Well that's.. unfair.

Mix, thinking: For now.

Mix then closed his eyes. No point in keeping them open when you can't see, right?

Mix, thinking: Okay soldier.. help me out here. You lent me you're eyes before, right? Didn't you call it phase two or something? I'm sure you can hear me, so please. Help me get past Walker so I can go help everyone!

In response, Mix could see something in his mind. It was the room he was in, but from behind him. Except from this point of view, everything was visible and clear.

Mix, thinking: Heh. Thank you.

It was just like back when they'd destroyed Skull in her giant centipede form. Whatever Frozen Soldier was trying to do with its "merging" with Mix, it sure was helpful.

Mix: You're not gonna be able to just grab me.

Walker: Oh yeah?

Walker teleported behind his fellow teleporter and went to grab his arm, but Mix slid out of the way. As he grabbed at him again, Mix ducked and jumped back a step.

Walker: What the..?

Mix: Heh. Bring it on!

Mix then reached into his bag and started sending throwing stars at the swordsman, making him have to block constantly as he blipped around in an attempt to make contact with Mix. Mix of course was moving around the room as well, making it impossible to reach him by always putting lots of space and throwing stars between the two of them. Meanwhile all Saten saw in the dark were Walker's glowing eyes and some flashes of sparks when sword or shield hit throwing star.

Saten, thinking: Yep.. I'm definitely not getting in the middle of that.

All things considered, Mix was doing well right now considering he still had pain in his gut from where he'd been shot. As far as Mix was concerned, all he needed to do was not get grabbed.
