Suichi winced and shielded himself with his arms as blood splashed over his body. He lowered his arms just in time to witness her regeneration. He knew he couldn't be of any help here, so called out to the Spirit. "Be safe!"

He grabbed at Mayumi's hand before pulling away to retreat to safety as ordered by the Commander. Whisker hopped onto his shoulder nearly causing him to lose his balance and he let a bit of a gasp of surprise out as he hadn't expected it like he should have. By now he was beginning to come out of his pushed-into-a-corner state and all the things he did hit him.

When he made it to the appropriate location he called up the Commander. "Kasumi, we're ready." After turning off the mic he groaned. "I can't believe I did all that. Mayumi, why did I do that?" Whisker let out a yowl and pointed her nose at Mayumi keen on getting some attention.

Kyoko immediately reacted to cover Chou by drawing her No Pains and blocking the Angel of the Reaper. The fearsome scythe nearly cut her as she did so and it took all of her focus to avoid flinching from the attack. "I've got you're back Chou. Give it all you got!"

She glared right into the Reaper's eyes. She had no words, simply her dislike for Spirits. If they hadn't existed she'd be happy with her father and mother, but now she and her busybody ways were all she had. Her fellow AST members were something along the lines of a family, as dysfunctional as they tended to be. As scary as the Captain was, Kyoko knew the woman cared about everyone on the team.

Close-ranged specialist or not, Kyoko herself was a close-ranged specialist and would do her best to hold her own against the Spirit. She shoved the Angel away and made an attempt to cut the Reaper with one of her blades, always keeping the other ready to guard.
