>Flipping open the watch, you don't notice anything happening.
>You throw all of your charge into a single sun shot, creating and immense blast and sending it at Kanako. At the same time, she sends the spheres gathered around her flying at you! But, most of them touch the sphere and are disintegrated without any difficulty.
>You try to pin Kanako down with more shots, but she is too quick, moving out the way of the blazing sphere and your attacks without too much trouble.
>Then the sun shot explodes, its own little nova of light and heat. Kanako is caught in the blast and sent tumbling a bit before sbe can regain her composure.
>Suwako says something, but you can't quite hear it in the aftermath of the explosion. But you do see her release dozens of shots; each of them waving and hopping through the air like a swarm of frogs.

>You close in on Kanako, shooting as quickly as possible. A shot hits her before she can recover, and she moves away from them. Then she fills the air with a thick cloud of knives, many of the flying at you, while some remain behind.
>You strafe away, but find yourself having to weave through the cloud of knives. Then the other half of them begin to fly at you.
>They are still some yards away. and they're covering a huge amount of airspace, moving along in their slow wave-like patterns.

>You draw back, trying to buy more space between yourself and Kanako's knives. Some of them diverge as they move on, others converge. You think you see a way through it, if you hold still.
>The cloud is very large, and moderately dense. You can make your way through it, you think, but it would be slow and cautious going.

>You almost can't hear her reply over the fight, a sort of mumbled, "I...uh...but..."  You must be close to her.
>You fire a sun shot toward Suwako. As it's not very speedy, you don't think it will hit her. But, it does carve out a nice path through the frogs, at least for a moment. Then ones above and below the cloud's path dip into its wave through their normal weaving motion. Still, it's a lot less crowded and hard to read.
>You follow the shot, and level another sunburst at Kanako. She doesn't seem to see it coming, and the shots clip her before she moves.

>You move out of the frog's way as the sun shot gets close to Suwako. She starts to move out of its way, trying to keep up the rhythm from before. You fire on her, and the sun shot effectively masks your attack; she doesn't see it until it emerges
 through the shot, and cannot react in time, the shot catching her in the stomach.
>You hear a sort of dry sound from Kanako's direction, and suddenly the air is filled with fast moving shots all around you, coming from her direction.
