[h2]Kishinami Hakuno[/h2]

She could barely make out the few words her radio received, but it was just enough to give her hope. Hakuno jumped when the aerial bombardment occurred immediately after, striking at the barrier and doing distressingly little to destroy it. Still, that at least meant [i]someone[/i] was helping out. Now if they could just obliterate this barrier, and Sessyoin along with it, that'd be great.

A new problem had arisen, however. When she glanced at her companions, she found Jason on the ground, being attacked by a severed hand. It held onto him tightly,. refusing to budge as he tried to pull it off. As disturbing as the sight was, Hakuno was already rushing over, sliding onto her knees and grasping for that foul hand. Why was it so damn strong!?

"No one else is getting killed!" Hakuno practically growled, teeth gritted, "You're gonna survive, and laugh in that monster's face!"
If nothing else, Mary wouldn't be able to rest peacefully if Jason got killed by her, too. And Hakuno would never forgive herself if any of them died here. Frustrated with the disembodied hand, Hakuno pressed a finger to the back of it. Her spells were weak, but at least she couldn't miss like this! She fired a gandr into the hand, then another.
