When Ultima went off Mary dove to cover Saori, but it clearly wasn't enough. She knew how all of this worked. She knew what the Jobs and the Crystals and everything else in this world did in their favor. She also knew it was something that couldn't be counted on, and that is where the seed of worry bloomed in her gut.

She cradled Saori's limp body as the two of them smoldered from the WEAPON's attack. She glowered up at the beast, knowing what she had to do. Gently setting Saori down, she then turned and stood to face the WEAPON. One hand went up to draw her hood from her pirate garb. The other flexed its wrist, the hidden blade springing out and back again.

"I'm takin' you out of this. Once and for all." She murmured to herself before taking three strides and seemingly vanished from the field.
