The monster was very focused, Tsubasa noticed. It had already forgotten that it had two other opponents, as it was bound to do every time it shifted its target. The Kajiki Sabres had no effect on it except to hold its attention. That was all he needed to know. The time to turn the tables was appropriate.
"Look out for the sign," he said to the one using the Cheetah Legs. Tsubasa could guess what he was trying to do, and only hope that he would time himself right. If the plan to reduce the monster's density goes well, the attack would work a lot better.
He then rushed close to his partner, confident of being unthreatened but conscious of holding his partner's split attention. "I will give you something to disable it for a second," Tsubasa said while stepping left and right, back and forth alongside his partner. "Use it only when you see the sign, I'll take over for now." With his instruction given, he kicked the monster in the chest, watch its body start to turn as confirmation that he had its attention. He dodged a fist and pedalled back far enough to buy time and then comitted to memory the Karasu's deduction.
He pulled the ejection knob on his driver and the powers of Karasu was immediately cancelled. "Catch," he called to his partner, forgetting to use his female voice, as he tossed the Medal to him. The monster no longer had its fists clenched. Its hands were wide open as though in a grabbing gesture. He ran in a half circle, manuevering the front of the monster within his partner's line of sight, and with a burst of faith charged into the monster's belly. As he thought, he was absorbed into it instead of feeling the equivalent of running into a brick wall. There was nothing else he could do except to trust that Karasu would tell his partner that the rim of swirling metal framing his drowning form and the area around it is the monster's weakpoint.

Yamato caught the Crow medal, and then watched as his comrade was absorbed.
"That's great-" Yamato began, about to launch into a length complaint about how this was a dumb idea, but he then noticed the swirling medals in the creature's stomach. "A weak spot! That's actually great!" he added, getting a little carried away. He looked at the medal in his hand. So this will disable it? Better give it a shot... Yamato thought, taking out the Lion medal and putting the Crow medal in its place.
"Crow, Kajiki, Hayabusa!" the driver announced, as Kamen Rider Cross's head changed from the Lion head to the Crow head. It was now purple, with a cruel looking beak formation on it. Yamato gave a little shrug, and glared at the medal monster, a purple light surrounding the monster, as he disabled it with the mental powers of the Crow medal.
"Heads up!" Yamato called out to the third rider, hoping he'd act out, because he assumed this was the sign..

Right, that was more in line with what he'd expected. Swirling cell medals, a target, the place to hit. He chose now to dash, taking a curved path, toward the front of the beast. He had a clear leap at it's chest, if he was right... And he probably was. He wasn't even sure if this plan would work... but with no other advice, he jumped at the thing's chest, unleashing a rapid barrage of kicks, trying to keep the hard shell from reforming long enough for the guy with the fish-arm swords to do some real good.
It's entirely possible, of course, that the plan would fail. He was aware of that, but he had literally no better idea, and though he didn't know it, the other rider was far more likely to hit the target without accidentally skewering any people.

The combined effects of the psychic attack and the kicks worked well in weakening the monster. Medallic metals streamed steadily from the points of impact unitl the monster split into two from the midsection. The effect of the psychic incapitation also ceased at that moment and the monster was conscious once again, both its halves reforming into smaller versions of its original form. The one which formed from the legs went after marvelous, while the other continued to stalk Tsubasa, whose hands were full with the medallic items. Without his transformation, Tsubasa no longer had the reflexes to dodge the incoming grip and was once again in the process of absorption, except it was not one he had planned for.

Yamato watched in shock as the monster split into two, and absorbed Tsubasa. Great... this makes things so much easier. he thought rolling his eyes.
"Yamato, use the Amatsubame medal, it will have a similar effect to Cheetah." came the voice of Tau, his supervisor. Yamato nodded, realising that Tau probably couldn't see that. It didn't matter. He swapped the Kajiki Medal for the Amatsubame medal.
"Crow, Amatsubame, Hayabusa!" the driver yelled, as Yamato ran at the half that had absorbed Tsubasa, stopping it using the powers of the Crow Medal, and began punching at it rapidly with the Amatsubame medal's powers. His fists began to churn through the medals that made up the yummy, and he caught a glimpse of Tsubasa.
"Grab one of my hands, we need to help the other guy!"

Souji continued to smash away the chest of that... whatever it was with the rapid pounding force of his kicks. He wasn't sure if it was even shedding medals, though he could hear them pushed aside... That struck him as odd, but he had no time to think too hard about it. His legs ashed against the beast rapidly, avoiding the other rider and the people inside the beast with relative ease and grace. He hoped the other rider could deal with the situation right now. He had been left out of the plan, so he was... fairly in the dark as to what the hell they were doing.

Tsubasa thought he would be a goner for sure. Without the constantly analyising abilities of Karasu, he could not feel anything but fear of his impending fate, let alone calculate his chances of survival. He screamed, but his voice was muffled in the fury of Medals. He could see no one else around him. That must be the fate of all who the monster took, consumed to the soul.
Then the Medals behind him started to feel lighter, and he could begin to see the outside again. He almost hesitated to grab hold of Cross, afraid that it was an illusion but a fake chance was better than no chance. So he did as told and let himself be pulled out. Unlike the first time, he did not carry any Medals out with him.
"There's no one inside," he whispered, still reeling from the experience. He did not notice the two monsters in their weakening states, but even if it were not him, Cross had Karasu and he would be able to tell that the moment to finish has revealed itself.

Yamato pulled Tsubasa free, and pushed him out of the way, as he surveyed the situation using the abilities of the Crow medal to figure out his next move. It didn't take long for him to deduce that split into two, the monster was only weaker, and would not have the same defensive capabilities it had previously. Another factor contributing to their weakness was that one of them had lost a signifcant amount of medals after Cross had retrieved Tsubasa from the monster, and the other rider had managed to disrupt the medals of the other half as well.
"Let's finish this." Yamato said calmly, using the Cross Scanner, as he dubbed it, to scan the medals.
"SCANNING CHARGE!!" it announced, and lights ran from the Amatsubame section of Cross' chestplate, and along his arms to the Amatsubame fists.
He ran at the half of the monster he had pulled Tsubasa from and punched it, an explosion of wind power created on impact, destroying it, and sending medals flying. Standing back up, Yamato looked to the newcomer.
"I'd suggest doing something similar, we don't need to drag this out."

"Right." He said, Kicking the creature hard one more time. He grabbed and slid the scanner across the medals on his belt, before tossing it aside.
SCANNING CHARGE
Silver-white pulses traveled toward the shielded right arm, causing the fingers to glow bright white. This effect continued as Marvelous landed, and he smiled, slashing his arm forward, throwing a positively wild strike at the target, hitting deep within the still-reforming pool of medals. Energy flooded forth as the fist smashed the center of the creature's torso, before it continued through, creating a large hole through and through. Marvelous turned away, arm pulling through the hole and returning to normal as the Yummy fell to it's knees and exploded in a wild shower of medals behind him.
He dusted off his hands, looking at the other Rider.

Tsubasa turned away from the pile of medals, not able to bear the sight of it. There was not a single person among the metal. It confirmed that all the people the monster had attacked would never be seen again, and it firghtened him to think that he could have joined them very nearly. The full impact of the experience finally took its toll on him and he felt weak at the knees, and was unable to keep himself from a quiet sob.

Yamato took his belt off, the Cross armour dissipating around him, and he turned and looked at Tsubasa, who was on the verge of tears. Yamato wasn't the type to cry very often, and even comfort those about to crying, so he awkwardly stood, not quite sure what to do. Wishing he'd used the Crow medal before doing anything, he flipped it up, and caught it as it fell back into his hand.
He walked over to Tsubasa and offered him the crow medal back.
"Don't worry too much. We did what we could, and at least you're alright." he said, slightly awkwardly, but with a weak attempt at a reassuring smile. Yamato turned his head to the other rider.
"I'm Yamato. It was good to have your help... are you with Foundation X?"

He could see the tenseness in the other rider, and that feminine form he finally got a good look at caught him off guard. He'd seemed so manly while the Dopant was running around... But now, she seemed vulnerable and girly. And he was actively confused about which pronouns he should be using, because of it. When the other rider dispersed his armor, Souji did the same.
Huh. Foundation X riders? He frowned, then pulled a candroid out of his pocket... Reddish orange, in fact. He pulled the tab, and the can opened up. It let out a mechanical chirp, then unfolded it's spiral wingtail, lifting off his hand. Another chirp later, and his Ridvendor turned back into vending mode, dispensing more Kujaku candroids automatically.
"No. I'm with the Kougami Institute. You can call me Watanabe. Now, get your share of this mess and get your friend somewhere quiet." His spoke with a bit of bitter disdain, though it wasn't anything personal. It was an occupational thing. He glanced at the rider who'd thrown herself into the beast once more, then looked away, frowning. He was clearly confused about the issue.

Tsubasa slowly looked up for a brief moment, half dazed and half still shaking until he saw the Medal. He had forgotten about it and also did not feel right to care, but it was his after all. So he picked up the indigo coin and brought his gaze down again, fidgeting with the artifact in his hand.

Yamato sighed a little as he watched Tsubasa take the medal.
"Don't take it out on yourself. If we hadn't done anything only more people would've ended up dead." Yamato stated, turning his gaze back to Watanabe.
"Kougami Foundation? Never really heard of it." He stated, honestly. The name rung no bells, and he wasn't surprised, he'd been out of the country for a few years, so some company may have gotten big without Yamato's knowledge of it. He shrugged, and picked up a large handful of medals, taking them to his bike, and placing them in a storage compartment located beneath the seat. "I don't need too many." he added.
Yamato looked at Tsubasa. "Come on, grab some medals and let's get back to headquarters. We need to debrief." He said, still unsure what to say to his comrade. Comforting people was from something Yamato excelled at, and he wasn't too keen to start trying.

Watanabe kept his eyes on the vulnerable one's back. But He was with Foundation X... No reason to completely ignore suffering. Never has been, never will be, because Kougami's intel was all sorts of anecdotal and... A Kujaku candroid floated across his vision, and he looked back across the group... Quite a lot of them had coins. He snatched the coin out of this one's hand, and looked sternly at it.
"Now, find my helmet, and bring it to my bike." The Candroid gave another Digitized chirp, and flew off. Souji stepped forward, headed toward the one who was clearly terrified. He pocketed the medal as he walked, holding into it.
He turned his head, looking at the other clone rider, and frowned, before looking back toward Tsubasa, frowning. Yamato would almost certainly catch that, if he looked. He rubbed the corners of his mouth and cleared his throat intently, turning away. He turned back almost immediately, frowning again. He walked forward, all-but-dancing into Tsubasa's field of vision.
"Hey. You hungry?" From here, he really couldn't tell about the person's gender. He was... He shook his head. This isn't the time to be thinking about that kind of thing.
