Zenatori stands up, swiping dust off his body, and says to Akari,

"That's all you're gonna say?"

Akari stares.

"What more is there to say?"

Zenatori stares quietly. She then says,

"I'm sorry."

"Well, good!"

Suddenly, a massive explosion is heard from the other side of the forest, and trees sway as a dust wave blows through them. Akari says, rattling,

"It seems I'll take my leave. If we met again, I expect an immediate surrender."

Yachi returns walking through the forest after she gave the Mashaka her first automorph. She suddenly sees two people walking. One of the people says,

"That automorph was insanely tedious to collect, wasn't it?"

The other person says,

"True, I'm glad we're in this together, though."

Suddenly, the other person stops for a few seconds and says, 

"Aye, Iwasaki, I feel like someone's behind us." 

Iwasaki turns back, then shoots a high velocity ball of fire and and a small explosion occurs. Iwasaki says,

"Well, doesn't look like anything's there, man."

Suddenly Yachi jumps from out of seemingly nowhere and sends an extremely high velocity blast of wind catching the other person off guard causing them to fly through the tree tumbling through the forest. Iwasaki says, "Katashi!"

He glares at Yachi, and they stare for a few seconds before they bolt toward each other. Yachi runs toward him as the other guys emit fire from their hands and attempt to hit Yachi with it, but she manages to evade it and presses her hand against his back, muttering "Expel." The guy flings against the ground, and Yachi grabs him, then slams him through a tree. She says,

"Where's the automorph?"

Suddenly, Katashi comes through the forest, brushing the dust off his body. He then says,

"Isn't sneaking up on people a little bit unfair?"

Yachi throws Iwasaki to the ground and readies herself to fight Suda Katashi.

Zenatori walks throughout the forest and suddenly spots an automorph sitting on a tree branch. He thinks to himself.
"The phantom automorph, it seems these things create illusions as a distraction, but if you can learn their trick, they aren't hard to capture. Using the visual information I've perceived already, I think I get the gist of this."

He bolts forward, and the automorph instantly activates its ability, and suddenly several mirrored images appear in front of Zenatori. He thinks.

He then grabs a random automorph, and Zenatori's intuition was correct. He holds it holds his hand gripping it hard so that it cannot escape. He thinks to himself,

"That wasn't that hard."

He then looks at the sky and thinks,
"Looks like we got around 6 hours before sundown."
