"I have no idea what is going on," thought Ran as he watched events unfold. Mathew had leapt away from the cord. Ran had expected that. But what Ran had not expected was for Mathew to suddenly fly a few feet. And he definitely did not expect Mathew's back to suddenly begin to bleed out of nowhere.

"It appears the other two are on the move..." thought Ran as Mathew reached behind himself. When Mathew's hand stopped in midair, Ran was quick to fly into action. "Fiddlesticks. The stabber didn't manage to scurry away,"

Immediately Ran tied a portion of his end of the cord that was still lasso'ed around Mathew's ankle to the safety line in front of him and then had the cord tug on Mathew's ankle in attempt to trip Mathew up and thereby give Mathew's invisible assailant time to escape. Of course, Ran being Ran, he also had another gambit at play as well. If Mathew managed to react in time to Mr. Roboto's tug to steady himself, it should still create an opening for the invisible assailant to escape. And if Mathew yanked the line in an attempt to pull him forward; the safety line would pull first, snag, and pull Mathew feet-first into a short slide along the ground.

"Not much more than a prank really, but I'll need a bit more preperation before I can really attack again," sighed Mathew as he had Mr. Roboto yank on Mathew's ankle.
