Hermes - Power distributing

All three of her teammates nodded. Larxene teleported to T’s location, as he turned into a weapon. The reduced mass meant he became two long knives rather than a single sword, but Larxene was better with twin weapons anyway. She returned to the fight with Yellow, and immediately forced her into a retreat.

“Link me in.” Panty commanded.

“Are you kidding? Do you have any idea how long it would take to draft all the paperwork to add another person to the link now?”

“Hermes, it’s you we’re talking about. Link. Me. In.”

Hermes hesitated a moment, then nodded firmly. From out of nowhere, he produced a pad of legal paper and a pen. He wrote. He wrote so fast that only Nanami’s eyes could track the motion of his hand across the paper. When one pen ran out of ink--half of it used, half of it boiled away from the sheer speed--he switched to another, then another. Pages flew everywhere, but Hermes caught them all and paperclipped them into a single document.

Seconds later, he triumphantly proclaimed “Sign here!”

“That was… probably the single stupidest speed feat I’ve ever witnessed,” commented Bonesaw.

“Aha! You’re a witness! Now it’s valid.”

Bonesaw blinked, realizing what she’d done. “Oops.”

Panty signed her name, and instantly something about her changed. She was visibly in sync with her team members.

“Wait, she still can’t go in, can she?” asked Bonesaw to no one in particular.

“No. That’s not what she’s planning.” responded Nanami, and Bonesaw jumped. She had forgotten that the other girl was right behind her.

Panty pumped her fist in victory. “Now let’s push this power-sharing thing to its absolute limit! Gon! We had a connection! Do you… can you hear me?”

Gon’s body twitched suddenly, the biggest thing it had done in the round so far.

“Great! Can you stand up?”

Slowly, agonizingly, Gon rose to his feet. None of the other fighters even seemed to notice, but Bonesaw was transfixed.

“Alright, here’s what I’m going to do. Do you remember when you fought my team. You had Danny’s powers. Do you remember that feeling?” Panty felt out of breath even as she spoke. She was donating a lot of energy to this link, and not getting a lot in return. But when she saw Gon nod, she figured it would be worth it. “Focus on me. Think about me. And take off your pants.”

Bonesaw didn’t have any idea how to react to that, until she saw Gon comply. In his hands, his underwear seemed to shimmer and form something else. Something like heavy artillery.

In a voice barely even a whisper, Gon said “can’t… fight… he… said”

“Well this is barely fighting is it? All you have to do is pull the trigger, right?”

Gon went slackjawed for a second. Then he did.

Danny and Yellow’s connection to the link barely let them escape in time. The blast radius was immense. Kumonga was dazed. Larxene felt damaged, and even the Terminator felt shaken.
