The abandoned building echoed with the sound of footsteps as Acrobatic Silky pursued them through the corridors, her red dress flowing like blood in the dim light. Okarun's enhanced speed from Turbo Granny's power allowed him to carry the unconscious Aira while Ben, transformed into Blitzwolfer, ran alongside them, his wolfish form ready to defend if needed.

"Keep going!" Momo called out, her psychic powers at the ready. "We need to lead her deeper into the building!"

"Are you sure about this?" Okarun panted, adjusting his grip on Aira.

"Trust me," Momo replied, her eyes scanning the building's structure. "I have a plan."

Acrobatic Silky's laughter echoed through the halls. "Running only delays the inevitable! Return my daughter to me!"

The yokai's hair lashed out like living tentacles, forcing them to dodge and weave through the narrow corridors. Momo attempted to hold her back with her psychic powers, but Acrobatic Silky's supernatural strength proved overwhelming.

"Your powers are nothing compared to a mother's love!" Acrobatic Silky declared, throwing Momo aside with a powerful strike.

"Momo!" Ben's wolfish voice growled with concern, but she waved him off.

"Stay with Okarun! Protect Aira!"

Acrobatic Silky surged forward, her hair writhing like angry serpents as she pursued Okarun and Ben. One tendril of hair managed to wrap around Aira's arm, threatening to pull her away.

"No!" Okarun tightened his grip, his supernatural speed allowing him to maintain his hold, while Ben snapped at the hair with Blitzwolfer's powerful jaws.

But something unexpected happened - Acrobatic Silky's damaged hair, weakened from their earlier battles, became tangled in the exposed steel beams of the building's ceiling. The yokai thrashed wildly, trying to free herself, but only succeeded in becoming more entangled.

"Now!" Momo shouted, using her psychic powers to grab Acrobatic Silky's legs. "Okarun, Ben, hit her with everything you've got!"

Okarun hesitated for a split second, caught off guard by the sudden opportunity. "But I don't have an attack prepared-"

"Just use your speed!" Momo encouraged him. "Ben, use your sonic howl!"

Understanding dawned in Okarun's eyes. Carefully setting Aira down in a safe corner, he gathered Turbo Granny's power into his legs while Ben took a deep breath, his chest expanding as he prepared Blitzwolfer's most powerful attack.

Okarun shot forward like a bullet, his enhanced speed turning him into a living projectile. At the same moment, Ben unleashed a deafening sonic howl that shook the entire building. The combined assault struck Acrobatic Silky simultaneously - Okarun's impact sending her crashing backward while Ben's sonic attack amplified the damage.

The yokai crashed through several walls before finally coming to rest, seemingly defeated. As Ben reverted to his human form in a flash of green light, they quickly recovered the golden kintama from Aira's pocket.

"We did it!" Okarun exclaimed, but his celebration was cut short by Turbo Granny's voice from the cat doll.

"The girl is dead."

"What?" Momo rushed to Aira's side.

Okarun pressed his fingers to her neck, his face going pale. "No pulse... Turbo Granny's right. Being swallowed by a yokai... it must have..."

"No!" Momo began chest compressions while Ben tilted Aira's head back to administer rescue breaths. "We're not letting her die!"

"Call an ambulance!" Ben shouted at Turbo Granny between breaths.
