Kyou and Matsuo suddenly darted passed the old man, heading straight for Natsumi. The two of them attacked Natsumi but right as they made contact, her body turned to smoke.
Natsumi's body suddenly rematerialized underneath Kyou and Matsuo's attack and struck Matsuo under the chin, sending him flying back.
"Talk about weak." Kyou laughed before also being hit.
"Who are you calling weak?" Matsuo said, getting up just in time for Kyou to knock him right back down.
Both Matsuo and Kyou stopped right in front of the old man who had just stood still for the whole thing. He gave the two of them a disappointed look before finally stepping forward.
"Oh? So you're finally gonna fight." Natsumi said, her body shaking with anticipation.
Before she could even move, the old man was right in front of her and delivered a punch right into her stomach. The impact of the attack shook the entire room violently.
Just like before, Natsumi's body turned to smoke. Small clouds of smoke began to circle around the old man, spinning faster and faster as the circle surrounded the man.
"Sorry but I won't be taken down that easily." The clouds had finally stopped spinning and changed their form into Natsumi.
"You two need to work together to beat the clones. While you do that, I'll get Naoki back." The old man said, looking at the unconscious body of Naoki.
"That's a terrible idea." Kyou said, shaking his head.
"It doesn't really seem like we have a choice now, does it?" Matsuo said, putting his back against Kyou.
A clone threw a punch at Matsuo but missed only by an inch. Matsuo clenched his fist around the collar of the clone's outfit and threw them over to where Kyou was about to attack the clone fighting him. Kyou's attack knocked the first clone into the one Matsuo threw his way. On impact, the clones turned to smoke.
Kyou quickly grabbed onto a clone and slammed it on the ground behind him, leaving it open for Matsuo to use an axe kick to finish it off.
"Do you think you can knock the clones over to me? I have an idea that could make us finish this a lot faster." Matsuo asked, dodging a clones punch and responding to it with a kick in to the side of the head.
"You're doing that move? That's not a half bad idea for someone like you. Yeah, I'll see what I can do."
