AN: Another short chapter! Poor Yumi, maybe I should let up on her... Read and review and maybe, just maybe I'll add another chapter before tomorrow.
"Yumi, two crabs ahead," Jeremy announced, "And you've just lost another five life points."
"Thanks, Jeremy," Yumi replied. The crabs stepped onto the path ahead of her, blocking her route to the others. With a flick of her wrist, Yumi's fan was unfolded and ready for battle. Her fist toss went too high, and she was barely able to dodge the crab's beam. As Yumi set up another throw, both the crabs charged up their lasers. Yumi threw her fan at the first one and struck home just after both the monsters fired their lasers. The first beam struck Yumi on the left arm, and the second hit her on the chest.
"Yumi, you've lost 20 life points!" Jeremy exclaimed.
Catching her fan as it came back around, Yumi aimed for the last crab. The blast the last crab was charging never had the chance to cause any harm, for Yumi's fan struck true and all that remained of the monster was a few fragments.
"Another five life points down," Jeremy said worriedly. "I think the rate at which you lose life points has increased. Yes, it has. That time there was only 30 seconds between the losses. Yumi... that means you only have 9 minutes left!"
