Kimboto's attempt to push Goro back are fruitless, as he stands steadfast
The kunai Yumi throws embed themselves in Goro's armor but cause no damage to him.
Goro: The words of a halfbreed freak mean nothing to me. *clashes with Kimboto again, knocking him back more and exhausting him more from the pressure Goro exerts*

Kimboto: I may be a half breed but I have more humanity than you.*winded*

Kumiko: Have this, freak! *shoots a torrent of flames at Goro*

Goro slashes through the fire and it splits into two gouts that go off behind him. Amiko runs in to try to attack Goro but gets parried. Amiko, being already exhausted, tries to avoid a huge sideways slash from Goro. Her last ditch effort is to shift into her cat form to dart away, and her clothes fall to the ground.
Goro: Eh? *backs away* A cat...

Yumi: Wait, what's happening? *Grabs a container marked with a black water drop from her bag*

Kimboto: Need some help getting that to burn?

Kumiko: Clearly my fire has no effect on this guy. And I'm not about to go at him. I'm not confident in my tekkan skills against him.

Kimboto:How do you think i feel?

Kumiko: Oh screw you, you have sword training, dumbass.

Amiko shifts back into her human form, grabbing her sword on the way, and slashing up wards at Goro quickly. Amiko falls on her knees, trying to catch her breath, and Goro's helmet falls onto the snow in front of her. She looks up and sees the face of Ashitaka looking down at her, complete with his long scraggly hair and thin goatee.
Amiko: A....Ashi...taka?
Goro: .... You....monster! *takes his helmet from the snow and hits Amiko with it, knocking her out, then runs off down the mountain path*

Yumi: Amiko! *Goes over to her to try and help her out*

Kumiko: What...The...Hell... *shoots fire at the fleeing Goro* I want answers, dammit!

Kimboto: I know.*rushes him and slices into his back with his blade.*

It's too late. Running through the white clouds of snow and mist that Goro ran through, Kimboto finds only air and rocks. Goro is gone.

Amiko: *groans* What..happened? I saw Ashitaka!

Kumiko: *kneels down and hugs Amiko* I don't know what happened either, Ami. But I'm scared now.

Yumi: You did? How? Ashitaka died.

Kumiko: I wanted to know how he was deflecting my magic, dammit. *sighs*

Kimboto runs over.
Kimboto: How? Ashitaka is dead isn't he?

Amiko: I'm not so sure, now...*clutches Kumiko* Don't stop hugging me I'm very cold...>.<
Akane: *approaches them* I'm not quite sure what happened. But I do not feel Goro's presence on this mountain anymore...

Kimboto: Do you mind if we rest  here in your home for a while mom? It was a big fight.

Akane: Of course. You can stay for as long as you need to, my son.

Kimboto shifts into his fox form and motions to put Ami on his back.

Kumiko: Yeah, that would be nice. *rubs Amiko's back* Of course, I will. I mean, you turned into a cat for what ever reason.

Amiko: It was to avoid Goro's washing pole, I couldn't get away otherwise in time. And why did Kimboto just switch to his fox form?.?

Kimboto*shifts back* I wanted to help you get inside. by having someone place you on my back.
