Well, the Aramitama seemed to have left their immediate area, but there was still a fight on, and Faith didn't intend to leave her sister and the others in the lurch!
"Come on Minato, let's go, we gotta go help!"
And she immediately went charging up the stairs; it was when she got halfway up that she abruptly realized: A. she'd destroyed her previous clothes, and B: her current clothing was rather less modest than she would have preferred. So the blonde girl promptly turned rather red, and the rest of her ascent of the stairs was very much embarrassed.
Faith goes upstairs to rejoin the battle, using an alteration to make this roll a 1!

Yoake gasps loudly, holding her butt in pain. "Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch! Too rough!"

She regains her composure, and, seeing the chaos in front of her, simply uses Dump Butt Roll, preparing her next butt attack.

In any other situation, Minato might enjoy the fact that he currently had a nice view up a pretty girl's skirt.

Of course, they were in the middle of a fight, she was clearly embarrassed and it would be rather rude of him.

So he averts his gaze and nods.
"Right, gotcha!"

Yuki grinned as she completely wrecked the cyber-gimp-thing. This thing was an absolute joy to use. Did that make her a psychopath? Chainsaws are a pretty psychopath-y weapon. But she was confident she wouldn't enjoy it being used on a person. But how could she know? Do psychopaths know that they're psychopaths? Was the fact she was double-checking proof she wasn't? Was she getting way too into this escapist's dream come to life? Was she being way too introspective? Why was there a guy in a bear costume who'd just come out of a back room? Did the lube on the ground have hallucinogenic ingredients that was becoming a gas due to the fire and causing her to see all of the really really weird and awesome and please pass the brain-bleach-y stuff happening with Yoake?

All of these were great questions that she should really answer or get tested for but first, killing a gimp-looking thingy... was it enjoying this, if it was a gimp? Wait, focus on the killy parts.

"Ohhh no you don't!" Yuki says, grinning, before she intercepts with the chainsaw - aiming to cut right through the offending limb, and then following through to it's gut and rushing it into the fire - her shield would protect her!

The Cybergimp's weapon rends crimson, slicing through the air and into Yuki. The girl simply lacked the finesse to counter it. What she didn't lack however, was raw power, and as the weapon cut into her, her chainsaw cleaves through the arm that held it, severing it in a spray of sparks and black ichor. Before her weapon could continue however, her quarry dashes forwards toward Noriko, its remaining hand clenched into a fist as the girl drops and yanks her spear, soon to pass it completely.

Its fist slams into her gut.

It wasn't a clean hit, being made at an awkward angle and glancing away from her dress-like armor before it could deal as much damage as it should have, but it was powerful nonetheless. Yuki stumbles back into the flames, Noriko finds herself launched away from the clash, sore and now lacking her shielding, meanwhile the Cybergimp hurtles away into the lube inferno, spinning in mid-air to hurl now-ignited sqweels at the two maids.

The Aramitama's shot explodes outwards and... straight into Shef's waiting portal. That's it. There's not really any tension in it either, the shot wasn't exactly a surprise after all. Portal goes up, bullet goes in, bullet goes out, Aramitama achieves fuck all. What follows is a few seconds of just awkward staring followed by the Aramitama up and leaving. Just fucking pulling the disappearing act again.

Minato and Faith move up the stairs to utter fucking chaos, with the main highlights being some kind of cyber gimp dueling Yuki in a puddle of burning lube and a tuxedo-clad Yoake sharpening her rear end.

"Tracked down your mystery Aramitama. It's currently on the Sendo-Tokyo Express. Correlated its appearances with the timetable and it's a match, the heart of the Anomaly is somewhere on that train. If I were you, I'd just go for the Aramitama themselves, not like the Anomaly will do much good for it if it's right next to them."
"We've dispatched cleaners to your location, do you have any plans for how to catch up to it?"

Noriko is more agile than the Cybergimp and has better overall speed, however it had superior burst speed, so given they were moving roughly towards each other over a relatively short distance, it was able to close in before she exited its range. It has pretty high Close Combat, so ultimately it was able to land a hit, though not nearly as decisive as it was hoping for, especially thanks to Noriko's scale armor dress.

The Aramitama basically just fled because it couldn't do really, anything at all currently. Minato had a shield that would take too long for it to break so it went up a floor, but Shef was basically blocking the way in. Shef's portals are capable of countering a direct charge, and then when he revealed his ability to just portal up its bullets, it just decided it wasn't worth the work and left.

[Strider03]

"Got that. Not sure how we'll catch up...anything but the boat, hopefully." Shef turned and noticed Yuki charging the amalgam of Mononoke. Chainsaw should finish it...better than shooting it for now. She's too far away. And so, at the girls behest, Shef extended his hand, and summoned a portal to land Yuki directly behind the gimp.

Portal Yuki behind the gimp. Use an alteration to take a 5.

Well, that hadn't precisely gone to plan. Quite the opposite, actually, but the hit wasn't exactly unexpected. . . What it was, however, was painful - and now the thing was throwing flaming sex toys at her. She leapt upward, boosting herself through the air and basically attempting to bounce between the floor and the ceiling as part of her evasive maneuvers. Meanwhile, she drew her spear upward with invisible hands, aiming to land a decisive impaling blow at range. The weapon floated up ominously, expanding in size once again. . .

"Omigod, wha-- wha--" There was so much input Faith was getting, from seeing the scene of the chaos and watching Yuki fight and hearing Enn and Winter talk, that Faith just had to take a brief moment to process. First: "Yuki!" Faith quickly shoots a beam at the strange amalgamous thing, panicfiring upon seeing it fighting her half-sister, and then: "Wait... the Aramitama is ON THE TRAIN?! Oh, my God! We have to hurry!"

Freedom Beam the enemy btw

"You handle that thing, I'll call our ride."
Minato turns on the communications in his suit. It was a useful feature; Tsukasa had it installed after he had ended up in a love hotel on the other side of Tokyo without his phone and had to drag himself to a nearby library to get someone to pick him up, back when they were still working out what worked with the suit and what didn't.

The days of working out all the kinks with the Gaia Driver were not fun days.

He contacts the Kumon family driver. Minato may have had a driver's license, but he knew enough about their family driver to know he was probably better at catching up to a speeding Aramitama.

[Twinwolf]

Yuki is not content to sit around in the fire. She gets up, chainsaw whirring. "Ow, ow, ow, hot, ow!" she says. She sees the thing still alive, although maimed, and decides she'd like it better dead. "Hey, french guy, portal please!" she shouts, charging ahead into the portal that Shef opens, and coming out behind the flying gimp. She brings down the chainsaw on it as it flies, laughing like a maniac.

A crash. A flash of light piercing a plume of debris, and then, silence.

Noriko's spear had hurled itself and expanded with explosive force. It tore into the Cybergimp as it tried to dodge, half-piercing, half-pulverizing its way through one of its legs, severing the limb at just below the pelvis, and before it could even react it finds Yuki's chainsaw revving up to finish what it had started, and Faith's beam engulfing its head.

There really isn't much of it left.

The room collapses back into more mundane dimensions and in the moments after, Minato and Yoake would find that Faith and Yuki are looking awfully distracting right now.

Spoiler: Notes (click to show/hide)

In future I would suggest coordinating your attacks more. When I receive actions I assume they are performed as soon as possible by default. But in situations like this, you'd wanna do something like saying that you perform it during or after Noriko's attack as her Requiem makes evasion incredibly difficult, meaning even if the gimp blocked or dodged it, they'd have likely been vulnerable to any attacks timed after it.

To try and illustrate it better, say you're fighting a melee Storm Mind, which can dash. If two people just say to attack it, it has a very good chance of using its speed burst to get out of the way, but if you instead had one person attack it and the other person specify to execute it when it tries to avoid the first attack, you'll have a much better chance because they can't change direction easily during a burst.

But yeah tl;dr as enemies get more sophisticated, you'll get better results timing and coordinating your actions better. Besides, it lets you do combination moves like firing a beam

[Powder Miner]

With the final present enemy thoroughly removed, Faith no longer had anything left to distract her, and she looks down at herself... and her crimson blush from earlier returns in full force as she once again realizes her state of dress and how stuck she would seem to be in it. Oh, and also she's in an "adult" shop dressed like this, so she has THAT going for her too!
"Whyyy? And why here of all the lousy, rotten places? Oh nooooo..."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Minato passes her what appears to be his blazer. It's not particularly clear when he took his blazer off, but here it is.
"Here you go. I don't have anything else for you to wear, but this might kinda help. For now."

[Chevaleresse]

Noriko, for her part, just keeps her Regalia on for the moment, not wanting to be in a similar situation to Faith's. Which she was definitely not looking at. At all. Not Yuki, either. Nope. She pulled at her nonexistent collar as she spoke. "So, um, are we going to chase after that Aramitama, or. . . ?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"My driver's on the way. He knows a few shortcuts. We'll catch 'em."
