“I understand what’s necessary,” he said when he was sure no one could hear.

“Then let’s bring the fight closer to Jax,” Coco huffed. “Just make it look good. What do you think: Maneuver Twelve?”

Yatsuhashi didn’t answer, he just launched right into it, sending Coco flying through the air in Jax’s general direction.

She landed and turned to see Yatsuhashi barreling toward her. She dropped to her back and kicked upward with both feet to catapult him ever closer to Jax. They executed the move perfectly.

Coco ripped off her beret and used it to wipe sweat from her face. The Crown’s forces had plenty of Aura to burn, but fighting was already wearing her out and slowing her down. She surveyed the moonlit battlefield, wondering how long Shade’s defenses could hold out. Their numbers were about evenly matched, but the real power was all with Jax and Gill.
