Tari grabbed her ammo from the ground and started running for the mayor's house.
Kaori landed in front of Raej as her katana's flames dissipated.

"Oh, seems that boy over there has heard of me," Raej said. He then looked at Kaori. "You really should have listened to his advice," he said. Raej slashed at Kaori with his sword in movements too fast for her to even follow. Several gashes opened up across her body. "I, Raej could have easily killed you with any one of those strikes. You have not a chance of victory," he said as he flicked back his hair. "Though if you choose to run, I, Raej cannot be bothered to waste my time pursuing."
"Kaori!" Kazuki called out.
"You should really worry about yourself," Darius said. "It looks like it's just you and me now."
"Damn..." Kazuki commented as he focused all of his remaining power into one last move.
Stone spikes formed around Kazuki and Darius as he too prepared for one last attack.
Yerth was still trying to think of what to do when he noticed a girl running up to the mayor's house. She wasn't a villager, and didn't seem to be a Nocturnian. He called out to her, "Hey, over here! Get inside before the Nocturnians see you!"

Kaori looked down, seeing blood all over her body. She then started whimpering as her eyes started to tear up and her katana vanish.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" she exclaimed, collapsing to the ground. Her civilian clothes materialized as she started crying uncontrollably. The blood seeped through her clothes as she curled up in the fetal position, grasping her shoulders in pain.
Tari ran in the Mayor's House, loading her gun as the Nocturnians chased her. She got to Yerth and torn around at her persuers. She aimed her gun back at them again.

"Hey..." Raej said, "Don't you think you're over reacting a little there? those are just minor flesh wounds."
"Kaori!" Kazuki called out. "Plasma boost!" he shouted as all the remaining energy Kazuki had gathered in his sword flowed back into him.
"A last ditch attack won't help y..." Darius started to say, but was interrupted as he caught a glimpse of Kazuki dashing past him almost too fast to follow.
Kazuki dashed past Raej to Kaori's side. "You said if we ran you wouldn't pursue, right?" he asked coldly.
"That is correct," Raej replied. "An interesting move you have there."
Kazuki grabbed Kaori and dashed away to the mayor's house.
Raej turned to Darius. "You should get that arm treated."
"It can wait until after the town's secure," Darius replied. He walked over to one of his soldiers. "Situation report. Also where are Hugo and Taina?"
"I can carry one of those girls to my boat," Yerth said. "Though I don't think we'll be able to come back for the other girl."
Kani stood up and wobbled a bit until he got his bearings. "I can try to carry the other girl, but I'm not exactly in the best shape."

Tari glanced over at Kani. "I'll help, let's hurry."
Noticing Kazuki, the Nocturnians moved out of the way. Kaori was still psychologically paralyzed as she was curled up in Kazuki's arms whimpering.
Tari lowered her weapon and ran over to Grega.

Kazuki noticed the Tari and the others and headed over to them. "Villagers who escaped?" he asked.
"Yeah," Yerth said. "I have a boat we can use to get out of here."
"Lead the way," Kazuki said. "We need to hurry though."
"Right," Yerth said. He picked up Terka, as Kani and Tari carried Grega. He then took the lead to show everyone the way to his boat.
The group moved through the town quietly, heading for the beach while avoiding Nocturnian soldiers. "It's just over there," Yerth said pointing to the outline of his fishing boat anchored just off shore. "Let's get the wounded on first."
Kazuki whinced in pain and put Kaori down. Electrical energy began to ripple across his body. He took a few steps away from her. As he did electricity burst out of his body. Kazuki screamed in pain then collapsed on the beach, blacking out.
