>You maneuver a bit closer, then launch a sun shot as the frogs pass uncomfortably close to your wings.
>You fly though the shot, the world aroundyou going bring yellow for a moment. You emerge from it close to Kanako; she reacts with a line of blue cards, but you are able to fly around this easily enough and approach her. You start to fly and have almost made it when you feel something grab onto your leg, jerking your momentum to a painful halt and sending you off balance.

>The combination of flailing, trying to avoid your shots, and Stargazer's prising are enough to loosen Kanako's grip from your leg.
>She is still more or less in line with the sun shot, but with her grip gone, she is trying to move away.
>You turn in midair and try to tackle Kanako! But, being as close as you are, it's really more like trying to give her a hug; there's almost no momentum to your action. Still, you lock your arms around her waist and force her back a little bit. The sun shot is mere feet away, now.
