Third time's the charm
Who: Hiyoko Tosaka, Barry Goodman, and Owain
What: Prayer #33
When: July 27
Where: The English countryside for the last time
[Okay. This is it. Hiyoko and Barry have been on this case for what seems like months now, and it's finally drawing to a close. She's got larger and more numerous spears, Barry's back with his axe and his game face on, and their new shinki pal Owain is here with his sword and endless crazy diatribes about his demonic hand. There's no possible way they can lose it this time. They're back near the lair of the twin fox ayakashi, crouching behind some rocks and underbrush as they watch the beasts pacing around. It seems they're on guard this time and expecting something. Barry turns to Hiyoko and whispers.]
Awright, boss... what's the plan this time?

Use me as you will, for I am your sword and nothing that stands before me will survive. The power that flows through me quakes through my hand, anticipating the battle. The blood lust... the fury...

First thing we gotta do is separate them. I've called in some backup to pin one of them down for a few minutes. In that time, we need to take out the other. Ready?
[That question must have been rhetorical though, because she does wait for a response. Instead she whistles sharply, and her backup descends. There are hundreds of them, and the squeaking is almost deafening as every squirrel in the forest descends on one of the foxes en masse.]
Now!!
[And she herself jumps out to face the other fox.]

[Yeah, they didn't discuss this plan ahead of time at all. When the squirrels emerge, Barry's just as surprised as the fox, and it takes him a few seconds of fumbling with his axe before he's lumbering along after Hiyoko.]
