The second after Sadako said "labs," Ben grabbed Sadako's ankle and twisted it, causing her to fall.
"I don't think so, Ben," she shook her head, pressing a button on her remote.
His body shook as he struggled against her control.
Kuri kneed the Hanyou holding her in the stomach.
"Leave Ben alone!" Kuri shouted, running towards her, intending to grab the remote.
"You can't save him now, Kraehe," Sadako said as she stuck the remote in her pocket and grabbed her wrists. "You lost once, can you bear to lose again?"
She knocked her to the ground. Everything was spinning, and Kuri felt myself shaking. Chaos had brought her to her knees again. Just like before. If she'd killed Inuyasha through her, wouldn't it be easy for her to kill Ben? Kuri had thought again that Kuri was invincible. Kuri forgot how strong she could be, given the right ammunition. Kuri should've faced her alone.
Sadako raised a hand, to hit her apparently, but she was grabbed from behind and thrown across the room.
Kuri looked up. Ben was staring at her.
"You okay?" he asked her.
"You…" Kuri stammered in shock. "Never mind…sorry, let's just get her, okay?"
"Okay," Ben replied.
Kuri pushed Sadako against the wall again, forcing her hands to her sides, so she couldn't use the remote.
"Ben, get the remote," Kuri said. "She can't move."
Ben ran and got it, and smashed it to bits.
"What did you do with the Omnitrix?" Ben asked her.
"I'm not telling you where it is," she replied, somewhat painfully from the pressure.
Gwen, Kevin and Reiko showed up behind us with four angry Hanyous (not counting Ben and Kuri).
"There are eight of us, and only one of you," said Ben.
"I could just probe your mind," Kuri said irritably.
"Try it, and I'll kill you," she said. "I'm not putting the Omnitrix on quite yet, I thought maybe, just maybe we could make a trade."
"What do you want?" Ben asked her.
"Her sister back on her side," she said. She smiled at her. "Release it. Release her from your claws."
"You're not considering this?" Ben asked her.
"No more deaths," Kuri said softly. "No one gets hurt…"
"I promise," Sadako said. "I just want to be the same again."
The room was spinning again.
"You can't just trade yourself!" Gwen yelled from behind her.
"She's lying to you!" Kevin yelled at her too.
Sadako remained silent. She was testing her.
"You…can't do this," Ben said to her.
"You did," Kuri replied coldly, and stepped to Sadako's side.
She grabbed her arm, and dropped some watch-like alien device on the ground in front of them.
"Even trade," she said, and led her out.
