Homura heads for one rabbit monster, blasting fire at another before slashing at the first one. Takakage aims for the third, parrying its leap with a shockwave from his sword. The beast is knocked aside and finished off with a few thunderbolts.

Two of the rabbits are defeated with ease, but the third is still alive. It sneaks up to Takakage from behind, intending to strike his back while his attention is occupied with one of the other rabbits. The strategist notices, almost a second too late - he twists around and blocks with his sword.

The rabbit's jaws close down on the blade with a metallic ting, and doesn't let go.
