Nen would put her foot on the lower back of Caffra and with every bit that it came free she tightened her grip around it. The corruption can do as it pleased as long as it would save Caffra’a life, as long as this didn’t continue to endanger the life she was bleeding to protect.
She would brace herself by gripping the orb tighter so tight her knuckles paled, all of them, from the death grip she would see mojo’s dwindling energies transferred from him to the projectile he he was gripping. When he made impact it did little to loosen her hold and she propped her fore arms against Caffra to prevent it from sinking back in.
She wouldn’t say it to his face or really admit it to herself but man that was making things very difficult for her right now.
“Come on Zero! We’ve almost got it!” She would breathe deep and exhale her might to pull this thing out.

Mojo goes sailing for the sword! It's swordin time!
Absinthe is observing, and what she see's;
Cafra's screams turn to a low growl as she gets used to the pain and activates a weapon on her suit which causes energy to explode outward to throw off her grapplers. It's literally a wave of forceful energy used as a pushback when she needs distance in combat, being used at such a close range is abnormal however. (PL: 1,200)
Nen and Zero would of got the orb near half-way out at this point!
Unfortunately both Zero and Nen would lose their grips!

It's working. It's wo-
Ouch.
Zero's grip falters, and he does his best to just grab on to Caffra instead, attempting to hold on and not get blasted away! There's not a whole lot he can do, however, considering the damage he's starting to take.

Mojo would grab the sword with his boosted arms. If doing so immediately knocks him out, then he's knocked the fuck out.
If his ki was being drained after he grabbed it, WITHOUT instantly knocking him out, he would push through; his internal engine would let him do so far easier then most, and this was important. Thankful that among the many skills implanted into him was basic swordsmanship he would fly towards the corrupted Caffra. If unable to fly, he would run.
Fly or run, he would use a minor amount of telekinetic power to reinforce and form bubbles of air around Caffra's ears, denying her sound and hopefully letting him catch her off guard. Once within range, he would swing the flat of the blade at the corrupted ball, mindful of Nen's earlier words and now aware that the sword didn't even need to cut to drain energy!

Nen was thrown and painfully. Both physically and emotionally. The taste of failure was a disgusting and sickening feeling to Nen. She saw what Mojo was doing as she tumbled back, eyes still closed. She caught herself weakly to slow her body down.
She shook her head in disagreement. Honestly she didn’t know what the sword was or what it did but Mojo was just doing his own thing and it was The God of Law’s sword he was messing with. She blamed only herself. Everyone was in this mess because of her. What could she have done differently? She had a few answers but this plan was the most optimal way to get the preferred outcome.
She wasn’t going to recover fast enough to stop mojo but she was getting up regardless. Whatever the result ended up being she would press on. Plans aside that orb had to come out.

Zero was able to hang on for dear life!
Once the blade smacked into the Dragon Ball, everyone would feel the power level from before suddenly plummet., and for the next post Mojo would be filled with more Ki energy than he was used to! (Mojo adds +750 PL for next post.)
Caffra collapses from the sudden feeling of being completely drained of her Ki, luckily Zero is there to catch her fall.
"Quickly... Remove it."
With a semblance of her original self peeking through she wants nothing more to do with this ball.

Looks like his hypothesis was correct, she wouldn't want that sphere after all.
Zero nods, and goes to pull the sphere out with his arms still supporting her. He didn't have much luck before, but maybe one of the others would give him a hand again.

Nen could have made a sack with her ring but she didn’t want to take the extra time just in case something happened. So she took a sash from her waist and draped it over Caffra.
Her intention was to help zero to take the ball then if there was any chance of infection still happening she would guide it to the sash to wrap it up. There was some feeling around as she still had her burned eyes closed. But she would speak as she worked
“Welcome esteemed God of Law Sojun and Sir Larg to New Planet Plant I hope we were able to help in the investigation.” She breathed. Her voice growing into a quiet rasp. “Thank you everyone else for your… h-help…”
The pain in her body was almost too much to bare and she stuttered and nearly buckled with every breath. Ah… broken ribs.

Mojo had to firm his will from the sudden rush of power to keep it from going to his head. Fortunately, years of meditation and a focus on self-understanding kept himself in check. With the new power rush he released his technique boosting his arms. Reaching out with his telekinesis with new energy, he would hold Caffra steady around her torso, very careful to not let the tendrils of his mental power touch the ball that was the cause of the problems. In the meantime, he kept the sword firmly pressed to the ball, maneuvering the sword precisely and carefully to help push it away from Caffra. He would use a bit more of his telekinesis to gently nudge and guide Nen's hands in their movements to pull the ball away, again taking very careful consideration to ensure he or his mind did not touch the ball.
He would speak telepathically to Nen as he did so.
"Let me help you, Nen. I can guide your hands to make it a little easier, and to ensure we keep this sword in contact with the ball. I don't think we want it kicking back up again."
OOC: Mojo current PL: 581 (+750) = 1331.

Absinthe would get up and walk over, reaching down to help pull it out.
"Allow me to assist."
She'd give Nen a glance, but, she unfortunately did not have the gift of healing. For now, getting the job done seemed more important.

Larg would cough as the team worked to remove the Dragon Ball from Caffra. Sojun would look over as Nen spoke.
"Ah, I see."
Sojun would walk over tot he group and reach passed Mojo to grip the handle of the sword as well and with a smile the energy flow from the Dragon Ball would completely cease, Giving Caffra back her full faculties while making it increasingly easy for the group to remove the ball without harming the female. Though she felt extra weak when it finally came out.
"I dropped this, clumsy me."
He would say as he would move to take the sword completely from Mojo. Turning to the others he would put the sword on his back if Mojo let go or not. Caffra would pass out from the exertion of it all.
"Yes. I do believe the assistance to the investigation was rather useful, wouldn't you say Larg?"
"As you say, My Lord."
"Which means I should grant you all a boon before I continue, as per the Law."
He'd stand there looking among them.
"Though time is of the essence I'm afraid, so your request will need to be stated now."

Zero stands there, holding Caffra to keep her from falling to the ground. His eyes shifting in order to watch whomever is speaking at the moment, and when the time comes for him to give a request, it takes all of two seconds of processing before he speaks.
"I wish to be able to pass the entry exam of the 14th Brigade of Plant's military forces. If you are able to assist with a recommendation or in some other manner, I would consider that a boon."

Absinthe would think a moment.
There wasn't much she wanted in general. And she hadn't been depowered long enough to discover any needs she had that weren't being met.
"I seek only a new purpose." she admits. Whatever he could do with that, she'd be grateful one way or another.

Mojo would immediately relinquish the sword to its owner when he approached. A moment's thought sent his staff flying back to his hand to grip comfortably as he pondered the offer of a boon from the man who had helped them, under the guise of helping himself. They spoke as if this happened a lot...
"I would like to be taught how to drain and purify energy as your sword does, in order to help prevent any further issues of this kind."
