The air was charged with tension, the dank, dark cave echoing with the sounds of struggle. Beneath her mask, the mysterious woman allowed a smug smirk to spread across her face, pleased with the initial success of her plan. Yugo, caught off-guard, acted swiftly. With his body in an enhanced state thanks to his Overdrive technique, he twisted and struck at the sticky, expanding gum with his left hand, attempting to avoid entrapment. His actions sent him catapulting upwards, feet aimed for the safety of the cave's ceiling, seeking leverage and escape.
However, the masked woman's concoction proved more formidable than Yugo anticipated. His left arm, while initially breaking free, didn't escape entirely unscathed—the gum clung tenaciously to his hand. The resultant tug-of-war saw Yugo straining against the pull of the elastic trap, while the masked adversary endeavored to slam his agile form into the rocky ground below. The pull from the woman was intense, stretching Yugo's arm uncomfortably, threatening dislocation had he resisted.
Yugo grabbed handfuls of gravel, hurling them with all his might towards his captor in a spray of makeshift shrapnel. Six sharp stones cut through the air, targeting the masked woman's left hip in a desperate bid to break her focus and free himself. Yet, before the projectiles could cover even half the distance, she yanked sharply on the gum tethered to Yugo’s arm. This swift action drew a portion of the gum up like a shield, interceptively catching and deflecting the incoming gravel with astounding efficiency.
Despite Yugo's enhanced abilities, he would find himself ensnared not just physically but tactically. Every attempt to pull away or dodge was manipulated by the masked woman through the gum's connection, forcing him to move in patterns dictated by her whims. If the scenario continued to spiral. it would leavr Yugo grappling not only with the physical entrapment but also the realization of his precarious situation under the cavernous roof, far from any straightforward escape.

In the murky depths of the cave, the atmosphere thickened with the intensity of the unfolding duel. Gamu, demonstrating a prowess and familiarity that hinted at extensive training with the Overdrive technique, reacted with a strategic precision that seemed almost prescient. His eyes narrowed, anticipating the masked woman's movements as if he had seen them a thousand times before in the practice fields.
As Gamu whirled around, he unleashed a perfectly timed counter—a viscous glob of gum aimed directly at the masked woman. The masked woman, not to be outmaneuvered and understanding the depth of Gamu's skill, accelerated the neural pathways between her brain and limbs. This boost in synaptic transmission granted her extraordinary reaction speed and agility. With a swift motion, she
extended her arm upwards, touching the cave’s ceiling, which was perilously lined with stalactite-like spikes.
With a forceful yank, she dislodged several of these natural spikes, sending them hurtling downwards toward Gamu. The strikes were fast and furious, designed not only to hit but to corral and confine Gamu, reducing his spatial options for evasion. Each spike sliced through the air with deadly intent, aimed to trap or impale.
In the event that Gamu managed to dodge these lethal projectiles, their impact with the hard cave floor was calculated to create an additional tactical advantage—a billowing smokescreen of debris and dust. This sudden visual obstruction was meant to disorient Gamu further, masking the masked woman’s next movements and setting the stage for a follow-up attack. In this high-stakes game of cat and mouse, every move and countermove was a test of wit and will.
