The sickening sound of a snap would resound through the air. When it was needed the most, Yumoto didn't resort to the violence he was so used to. Tarou was frozen, as if in fear, and reacted too late. The only reason Yumoto's attack didn't work was because it was done exactly as the twisting began. He would have needed to be right next to the pair to make the move he did, at least for it to work in time. His first hit did land though, and it sent Tsutomu stumbling back a good five feet. Magi's body would naturally fall lifeless to the ground. The immense amount of pain was so much that it would send her on the verge of unconsciousness, but not enough to make her black out. A phantom suddenly rushed in between the open air between Tsutomu, Ieyasu made use of the Body Flicker to make his way down. With one hand he scooped up Magi, while the other elongated and reached out to Tsutomu. The criminal was still reeling, and felt a grip on his neck before he was thrown. He was sent careening towards the other side of the quarry until he slammed straight into a wall of dirt. The power of the throw was so strong that a crater was made. There was nothing Magi could do to stop Ieyasu from picking her up either. She wouldn't be able to feel anything. Not her breathing, not even a heartbeat. And the shock of it all kept her from being unable to speak or even cry out.

Ieyasu leaped back up over the quarry wall, still holding onto Magi's body. His next words were like ice, almost disregarding the importance of what had just happened.

"Your mission still stands. Carry it out, or more people will die because of your ineptitude."

Ieyasu body-flickered once again, disappearing from observable sight. Yumoto, through all the confusion of this, would find something equally perplexing. The feeling that there were eyes on him at all times.

Tsutomu was slowly beginning to get back on his feet, a whole twenty feet away from the remaining two.
