For a bare moment Ran's mind jolts back to the rats, swarming and hissing, diving for her with bared teeth. Panic surges through her nerves until she cuts through it.
"Zepar!" Her voice rises, sharp. "Cleave!"
A woman, winged and enormously tall, emerges from empty space as though stepping through a misty curtain. Her face is impassive, eyes blindfolded, her hands folded over a massive, heavy broadsword set with a great, gleaming eye. At the word, the sword sweeps into movement, the blade hurling down on two Shadows. They shriek once, dissolving into dark clouds of mist.
Zepar folds her hands over her sword as before, vanishing with a last gleam of sword-bound eye and smoldering feathers.
Ran is already after a third Shadow, ducking under his pipe and diving her fist deep into his stomach. But that still leaves at least a couple bearing down towards Shinichi.
