"Just because kidnapping me ended well for the both of us does not mean it will work here. Kidnapping is not a golden hammer, as they say."

"Anytime. See you tomorrow."

[Now Playing: Enhanced Zoanthrope Override ~Taurus Demon~]

The maws holding the Zoanthrope in place splinter and buckle, before cracking as the beast releases itself from its hold, yanking itself out of the ground with a ferocious, primal strength, knowing full well what is about to happen if it doesn't try to escape. With a ferocious swipe, it smashes Suzu aside, ramming her into one of the only remaining trees that haven't burned down or haven't been smashed aside in its rampage. The girl immediately untransforms, slumping to the ground unconscious from the force of the blow. Suzu is down.

Maki scrabbles out of the way, the breath knocked out of her body. She doesn't quite manage it, tripping over some rubble and scrabbling to her knees. Yui is more successful pulling herself to her own feet, skating away as her magical notes heal her a little bit, patching her up. Sato rushes to their side, his sword almost singing in the air as he runs towards you.

The world pauses for just a moment as the Zoanthrope spies Yui, limping away. Ignoring all other threats, the Zoanthrope in its rage prepares to avenge itself with another energy attack, trying to drag her in as its mouth opens, a red orb gathering inside of it-

[Now Playing: Sato Theme Override ~Til When?~]

And Sato seizes his chance.

Rushing in with unrivalled speed, he slashes at its wounded side as fast as the eye can see, his blade practically a blur, rending cut after cut into its flesh like so much butchered meat. This was what Sato was good at; not sheer, brute force, not underhanded guile, but speed like lightning, floating like a leaf in the wind. And no mere Zoanthrope, not even an empowered one like this, could possibly ever hope to keep up.

The beast turns to attack him instead, aiming to blast him to knock him away or stop him, but Sato is too quick, too agile, and as the blast of energy exits the Zoanthrope's mouth, Sato slashes into it with one cut, simultaneously instinctive and yet practiced and honed. The energy, however, doesn't dissipate, but seems to be sucked into Sato's blade, strengthening his attacks and turning its final hope against it.

His blade glows with the energy attained, and Sato prepares to finish it....
