As the old man fought his way over to Naoki, Matsuo and Kyou were left fighting a never ending wave of clones. They weren't particularly tough or anything, but their numbers more than made up for that weakness.
"Hang in there a little longer. Once I defeat Natsumi, her clones should disappear." The old man said, dodging one of Natsumi's attacks.
"You sound rather confidant about taking me down. Are you sure it'll be that easy?" Natsumi said, creating two clones right next to her.
"Positive."
The old man suddenly appeared in front of Natsumi and threw her into the ground. The old man quickly rushed over to Naoki and picked her up from the bed.
"I need you two to hold Natsumi while I go bring Naoki to safety!" The old man yelled, running right past all the clones.
"Right!" Matsuo and Kyou said in unison.
Matsuo's plan had finally been put to use when Kyou threw a group of clones his way. Matsuo slowly lifted up his leg and aimed at the clones and with one large kick, sent them all flying.
"Like I'd let it be that easy!" Natsumi said, reappearing in front of the old man.
As Natsumi began charging up her attack, Kyou and Matsuo attacked her at the same time, destroying the spell before it could be unleashed.
"Thanks for that!" The old man yelled, running right over Natsumi and exiting the room.
"Tch. You're starting to annoy me." Natsumi said, turning her body into smoke before flying up in the air.
She aimed her hands at Matsuo and Kyou and began firing smoke bombs all around the room, making it impossible to see anything. Because of the smoke, Matsuo and Kyou were left vulnerable to all of Natsumi's attacks.
"I'll deal with you all quickly and then get that girl back." Natsumi said, punching Kyou in the gut.
"Is this really your best?" Kyou asked, an unimpressed look covered his face.
