[Fortunately he hit the first Regal Mother, and this is where Xigbar can note a heart floating away that none of the others seem to notice. Minato is the field leader instead of Mitsuru because he's 'special' - that would have been mentioned, but details left out.

Xigbar's shots certainly hurt the Mother, but she survives to attack Ken. She hits him pretty hard and he's knocked down. So it attacks again - Minato this time. Fortunately, this opens it up to Koromaru summoning Cerberus and finishing it off with an agi skill. Minato appears spaced out for just a few moments afterward.]

...Everyone okay?
