Kyouko Sakura (MR-7722)

Explanation: I'm not seeing a specific prompt from the user, just an ellipsis. I should continue the narrative by focusing on Tatsuya and Kyouko Sakura, since Kyouko is the character assigned to me. Since the characters are approaching the extraction point and Kyouko was mentioned as being spotted approaching their position, I'll write Kyouko's entrance into this scene.

*leaps into view from a nearby rooftop, landing with predatory grace between the fleeing group and their pursuers*

"Well, well... what's all this commotion about?" *drawls sarcastically, extending her segmented spear to full length as she sizes up the situation* "First my Soul Gem starts glowing like crazy, then half the magical girl underground is running toward Mitakihara like there's a grief seed fire sale."

*casually bites into a pocky stick while maintaining a combat-ready stance*

"Looks like I picked the right day to check my old turf." *red eyes narrow as she spots Tatsuya and his spear* "So you're the one causing all this fuss, huh kid?"

*twirls her spear with practiced expertise, intercepting two White Feather operatives attempting to flank the group*

"Back off!" *snarls at the pursuers, her casual demeanor instantly switching to fierce aggression* "Find your own magical boy to chase!"

*creates a red barrier chain that blocks several more operatives, buying the group additional time*

"Mami! Blue Girl! Oracle! Get moving!" *shouts impatiently, jerking her head toward Chrono's position* "I'll hold these vultures off while you make your fancy escape!"

*glances down at her Soul Gem, which glows with unprecedented clarity*

"Whatever that kid did to my Soul Gem..." *genuine amazement briefly breaking through her tough exterior* "Never felt this clean before. Like someone washed away years of grime."

*leaps backward to rejoin the group, positioning herself as rear guard*

"So what's the deal? Whole magical world's gone crazy over one middle school boy with a glowy stick?" *questions bluntly while deflecting magical attacks* "Must be pretty special to have both the cult freaks and fancy-pants Bureau types scrambling."

*creates a lattice of red spears that momentarily blocks the tunnel where the Uwasa is approaching*

"That won't hold it long!" *warns with urgent practicality* "Whatever that thing is underground, it feels wrong. Like a Witch but... artificial."

*to Tatsuya directly, expression uncharacteristically serious*

"Hey kid. Don't know what you are or how you did that trick with our Soul Gems, but..." *awkward sincerity breaking through* "Thanks. Been carrying around that darkness a long time."

*returns to her aggressive stance as more pursuers appear*

"Now move your butts to that extraction point before I kick them there myself!" *barks impatiently, spear extending to clear a final path* "And if anyone tries to stick you in a lab against your will—" *fierce grin flashes* "—you just call Kyouko Sakura. I pay my debts."

*launches herself toward the approaching White Feathers with predatory intensity*

"Time to earn my keep! Go!"
