Two of the three thugs had decided to target Aika - and one of them was the unfortunate target of Joy's attack.  Caught off-guard, he barely had time to react before her flying knee hit him in the ribs, and zeroed his health bar, putting him to the ground.  Aika decided to target the other man on the wings, using her Bridge of the Mirror to soar through the air, multiplying herself into refracted images.  The goon did swing, but he hit an illusory copy and not Aika herself; the Tennin's flying kick got him in the neck, and he also went down, almost simultaneous to Joy's target.  Speaking of, Joy grabbed at her fallen victim and discovered more food in his pocket.<br/><br/>"No kidding.  But hey!  It's a full-up, so it's essentially an extra life!"  Looking up the street towards the train station, Aika spotted more goons closing in.  "Joy, three more inbound!"  They would need to start coordinating who went ahead and who stayed back - that would be an essential skill in later areas, when there were going to be more and tougher opponents.
