"If you have an idea, now would be great to execute it..." Oriko shot some light arrows at Vaylin, hoping to distract her to give the others some breathing space.
 
(Sorry for the hold up guys! Thanks for being patient with me and my matter at hand. You're the best. :3)

Jaz finally managed to reach her father, who was shirtless and his entire mechanical body gleamed. Kire, obviously not interested of Junior's existence, smiled brightly to his daughter. Jaz, however, frowned at him, causing the man to lift an eyebrow in confusion.

"What's wrong, cupcake?" Kire questioned. 

"Junior said you were gonna take me away from him..." Jaz gripped Junior's hand a little tighter. "I don't wanna be separated from Junior again, Daddy."

Kire instantly glared at the boy with fury but he was not about to lie to his daughter, at least not entirely. He placed a hand on both Jaz and Junior's shoulders, placing himself between them. He then placed his arms around them in a gentle headlock. He nuzzled Jaz's cheek with his own while attempting to add pressure around Junior's neck.

"Look Jaz... I just don't want you to get hurt." Kire admitted bluntly. "As for taking you away from Junior, I would never do that to you, Jaz. Junior's just a bit on edge for some reason. I just don't know why he'd say that." Kire turned to Junior, giving him a sly smile. The intention of his words were obvious. "Sounds like Junior's out to get me."

Jaz stared at her father and slumped her shoulders away from him. Her eyes shifted to Junior, almost as if saying so just roll with it. Kire took a step back from the two and stood before them. 

"Well, enough about this. We gotta work on your special suit, Jaz." Kire smiled. "But before that, I wouldn't mind diggin' in that core of yours. I wanna see wha'cha been up to these past hundred years. I wanna see how my boys are doing as well as see your...relationship with Junior here." Kire turned to Junior, giving him a normal face, for once. "Wanna see all of Jaz's memories~?"
 
"We are going to die if we don't do something quickly!" Mioi insisted, unsure how she would even be able to last long enough to try and inflict damage. Option after option went through her head but was futile and she knew it.

She glanced above her in her panic and her eye widened; it was a lackadaisical idea she thought of in desperation. "Try to damage enough of the foliage to come crashing down and force her back! It can buy us some time while you figure the next move." She suggested to the group. There would be no guarantee if it would work, but there was no harm to try it at least. 

Immediately, she began blasting her eye beams up at the canopy around them, where she could make out the bases of branches that would fall without support. "Just watch where the debris falls..."
 
Oriko noticed what Mioi was doing and nodded, firing some arrows at the branches that looked weak.

"Damnit! We're barely making a scratch on her! If only.. if only I were stronger...!" He thought to himself as he continued to shoot the branches down.
 
Vegetto Jr. kept his eyes narrowed, nearly scowling at Kire's attempt to deflect responsibility despite Jaz's expression. He perked up, however, at his final comment.

"Her memories?"

=======================

Both Brachi and Xenest swiped at the air, Vaylin having already disappeared without even a trace of an afterimage. Solaris' blasts rapidly bounced backwards, striking the ground at Solaris' feet in an amplified explosion.

Panich's ki blasts exploded outward at random, nearly covering the entire open air before them in brown dust. Vegetto grunted, his aura blasting backwards from the force of the wind.

"She's too fast! Just get out of here; the rest of us will catch up!"

The fusion hacked, stumbling to his left from the blow to his right ribs. He snarled in the split second, spinning with his right leg and sending Vaylin back a few meters with a grunt.

The black hooded woman kept a confident grin, before turning her head up with a small frown and a scowl. She scoffed, slapping away a few bundles of leaves and branches landing on her shoulders, before suddenly whirling around with a massive golden energy blast tearing into the ground towards Oriko and Mioi.
 
"Woah!" Oriko responded with his guts by pushing Mioi away, taking the full brunt of the blast. He was sent flying into a tree, the teen gushing out a little bit of blood as his back hit a tree.

"Holy shit that hurts...! he thought to himself as he crashed into the ground, his bow dissipating as he slowly closed his eyes, his head slumping over to the side.
 
Solaris fell backwards from the blasts Kira running over and helping him up. He gave a quick nod before the two started to run in opposite directions.
 
Both Brachi and Xenest did get some distance in, taking off into the air rapidly as they obviously had a plan of their own in mind...
