You don't hesitate for even a moment, knowing that you can't afford to with how rapidly the situation is developing. You flip the switch on the trap, which humms to life ominously, and pitch it low to the ground so that it would slide across the relatively smooth surface and come to a stop just underneath the malevolent shade. The red light on the device lights up, recognizing a valid entity above it, and the black-and-orange hatch opens up to reveal an almost blindingly bright multicolored otherworldly light within.
Arcs of lightning shoot up from the device and start to wrap around the Shade, which has no choice but to end its assault on Piccolo. It seems to look down at the Trap with panic, especially as the device whirrs louder and starts to slowly but surely pull the phantom closer to the source of the etherial light within it. The Shade's struggles intensify dramatically with each inch of ground that it gives up, while Piccolo picks himself up once more and warily watches his counterpart's almost certain defeat.
To your shock (and everyone else's, for that matter), the Shade's arms grasp either side of the Trap moments before it would get fully sucked in. The phantasmal arms are looking much more solid than the rest of it suddenly, and worse yet the Shade seems to be prying itself up and out of the Trap's maw! Every moment that passes sees the Shade wiggling more and more free and ramping up in power, and you're certain that if you don't do anything, it'll wrench itself completely free! But what could you do without harming Piccolo? Or...perhaps harming Piccolo is exactly what you need to do, to weaken it enough to trap it for good? You're not certain, but maybe someone else would be able to help best - your arsenal of techniques isn't exactly the most suited to dealing with immaterial foes, unless you get creative enough!
>Piccolo seems like the type who would be willing to take a hit to ensure victory...hit him with Flash Lightning, to stun the phantom!
>Soul Removal is extremely debilitating, but takes a while to work...maybe you can weaken it enough with that? You're not sure if it would hurt Piccolo or not through the life link, but it's worth a shot.
>If it's starting to become somewhat solid, maybe you can just shove it back down!
>Look to one of the others for a solution, one of them MUST have a good idea on how to handle this! (Who?)
>Something else...?
