Yoko continued downward, her target further distracted by a group of random Invess. The bulk of her sword missed entirely, but the tip managed to strike Hoban's right shoulder.
Frey scowled, but figured that it wouldn't have worked. Thankfully, he had already put his suit on. He rushed in to join his colleagues, standing back as if he had just arrived. He stepped forward, waiting for the right moment.
Cass shouted and swung a sword for Yoko without taking a moment to reorient himself, so he was at an awkward angle after her slash. It gave Takatora time to dash in and swing his energized shield into Cass's left side, causing him to slow his strike.
N-Zan fires at Hoban in that second with her Musou Saber, while Arisa kicks a bomb at his chest.
It was a pity..that the Inves had been defeated so easily. But even as she stood there, having been told to watch, by Yoko...she couldn't. The white armored figure with the black cape seemed to show some promise, but that was the only glimmer of hope seen thus far.
A fireball comes forth from a nearby Crack, headed straight for Hoban, capitalizing on the distraction as a new Armored Rider emerges from the hole in reality. Dark Staff in hand, she conjures another fireball in her free hand, ready to follow up on her first attack.
