>>5369254…Or at least, that’s what you would be saying, if she didn’t send her Spirit Bits out and somehow track Peppa’s movements! She sends each of them some good distance above where Peppa apparently plants her Ki mines, then waits for the right moment, focusing her energy around herself. The moment Peppa reappears with Instant Transmission, Kamehameha charging in her hands, right behind Pantea, the purple-haired girl’s aura surges white and then condenses around her torso. Pantea jets forward, Ki trailing behind her like wings of light, catching Peppa off-guard.
Pantea then has her Spirit Bits fire down at all the Ki mines as Peppa attempts to get the upper hand again by trying to knock her into them. That’s enough of a surprise for Pantea to be able to turn around and hit her with a Charge Shot! But before she can follow up, Keli teleports to Peppa’s aid, getting her out of danger and letting a dark aura surround her.
Huh. You can guess it was something Izzy did with that Solar Flare, but that’s still a surprise. Peppa’s relied on her stealth skills for quite a while, so stands to reason someone would try to find a way to counter them.
…And at the same time, you notice the Fu beside Pilaf very subtly shimmers and then splits in two, with his copy disappearing from view in the blink of an eye. Most everyone else is too focused on the fight to really catch it, but you certainly do.
