The trick works! Although it's a bit awkward, she manages to take the plant by surprise and break free of its grasp. It lahses angrily at Kai, striking him, but not hard enough to do much, trying to grab Momoko again, but unable to get a grip. Kai attacks furiously, severing several of its tendrils. He moves between it and her, kicking her clothes back to her. "Get your things, we need to get out of here!"<br/><br/>The plant now behind her, on the opposite side, waves its vines... but most of them were damaged or broken n the struggle over her, earlier, and don't pose too much of a threat. We hope.
