The web was gone. The purple light was gone. Blue hair lay in the water and Mio was already moving.
Jii's gauntlet hit the Queen's torso at the sternum. The impact knocked Amori loose from the Queen's arm and the girl splashed into the shallows behind them.
The pearl surface cracked chitin and the force traveled through Mio's shoulder and spine into the concrete under her feet.
The Queen's second mouth opened. Adhesive spit. Mio was past it before the glob left the black gums. Zero Hesitation.

Sixteen strikes. Four seconds.
The first four hit clean. Pearl gauntlet into the junction where human torso met crab shell, twice, then obsidian fist through the right pincer's joint. The one still wet with Chi-chi. The first of the Queen's two remaining legs crumpled on the fourth strike and the crab body listed sideways.
