Kotoha freezes as soon as she sees Fumi spit up blood - and, even though it's an intense relief to see what follows it doesn't change what actually happened. No more hanging back or being unsteady anymore - Kotoha squares her shoulders and charges.

"Get away from my friend!"

With that, she tackles the Ongyo-ki, intent on bodychecking it away from Fumi - an endeavor aided by Arthur's roundhouse kick to its head. As the demon skids away, Kotoha stares it down as Victini starts talking.

I am thou, and thou art I...

A rocky shell, like a meteorite covered in runes, surrounds Victini.

From the sea of thy soul, I come.

The meteorite splits open, and from it rises the upper half of a pale-skinned youth.

I am Mitra, lord of the morning sun. Thou who has signed my contract shall be forevermore covered in glory!

"Shield All!"
