The thunder wave leaves one paralyzed, while the entire group takes some minor damage from Fumi's malaqua. Hoshi's kill rush hits, but seems less effective than it should be. Atsuro's attack, on the other hand, is devastating. The one he targeted falls back to the ground in a heap, a dark hitodama floating up from the body.

The eight soldiers who are still standing attack. One targeting Hoshi, two each on Kotoha and Fumi. The other three aim for Atsuro, having judged him to be the biggest threat. Mighty swings all around. Since that's really the only attack they have. If Tachikoma is still around, they haven't taken any notice of her yet.
