Note: I do NOT own Shakugan no Shana
As Yuji made his way to the lower levels, he couldn't help but worry about Shana and if she is all right.
"Shana, just hang in there, I'll save you!" he said in his thoughts.
Back at the Crystal Alter
As Yoshida fired her energy ball, Margery countered with a fireball of her own.
"That Friagne sure gave them some power" said Marcosias.
Margery didn't say a word
"Something wrong, my beautiful Goblet, Margery Daw?" asked Marcosias
"Shut up, Stupid Marco!" said Margery slamming her fist into Marcosias.
As the fight raged on, Margery mumbled, "why them…"
"Hm?" wondered Marcosias.
"SATOU, TANAKA! You have to snap out of it! Don't you remember me?" yelled Margery
Satou didn't say a word, but Tanaka mumbled something just barely audible, "Big Sister… help"
Margery then said, "So you are still in there Tanaka, let's see what happens if I do this!"
Margery then unleashed a fireball and fired it at the wall behind Tanaka. The shockwave of the blast sent Tanaka flying and landing on the Crystal Alter.
"TANAKA! Are you all right?" said Margery.
As Tanaka slowly came to, he said "…Big Sister? Is that you?"
"It appears the hypnosis over this boy has indeed been lifted, de-arimasu" said Wilhelmina
"That's one down and two to go" said Margery.
"What happened, why am I here?" asked Tanaka
"You mean… you don't remember?" asked Margery.
"Well… the last thing I remember is seeing a man with what looked like a doll walking up to me, then I end up in some sort of dungeon and the next thing I know here I am" said Tanaka.
"Huh. Well I guess what's done is done, why don't you get back and let us handle the others" said Margery
"Sure" as Tanaka turned around and saw Yoshida and Satou preparing to launch their next attack. Tanaka in surprise said, "Why are Yoshida and Satou attacking us?"
"They apparently are under the same hypnosis as you were and we need to find a way to snap them out of it" said Margery.
"Whatever I can do to help Satou, it would be my honor, Big Sister" said Tanaka.
With that, Margery slightly blushed, sighed and said, "Look, just help me out ok?"
"Of course" said Tanaka.
Just as Yoshida and Satou fired their energy balls towards the others, Tanaka stepped out in front of Margery.
"What are you doing you idiot?" yelled Margery
"I have a plan, trust me!" exclaimed Tanaka
Then, while Yoshida continued to unleash her attack, Satou hesitated.
"NOW!" said Tanaka.
"Got it" said Margery unleashing a fireball at the wall behind Satou flying and toward the ground.
"SATOU!" said Tanaka rushing toward him.
Tanaka was able to catch Satou in time but he was right in the path of Yoshida's attack.
Just as the attack was about to hit, Wilhelmina used her power to try and block the attack, however the attack was able to break through her defense and sent Tanaka and Satou flying and landing right between Wilhelmina and Margery, knocking them out.
"What the? What just happened I know her attack wasn't that powerful before!" exclaimed Margery
"It appears when the hypnosis breaks from another person, the people remaining will get stronger and the hypnosis may indeed be more difficult to break, de-arimasu" said Wilhelmina
At the lower levels
Yuji made it to the lower levels and now would start searching for Shana.
"SHANA, where are you? SHANA!" called Yuji.
As Yuji made his way further, he saw a face in the distance.
"Could it be?" wondered Yuji rushing towards the face.
As he ran forward and the face became clear he cried out
"SHANA, there you are!"
But as he approached Shana, she pulled out her sword and swung at Yuji.
Yuji was able to dodge but got a small cut on his chest from the attack.
"Shana, what are you doing!" yelled Yuji.
Shana didn't say a word.
