With Urie in the lead, the Quinx Squad arrived[8] in the middle of the fight between Floppy and Mutsuki. Urie shouted orders as they attacked in a set strategy used by Arima Squad, he was confident that Hsiao could take the position of Take Hirako in the formation. They charged as Hsiao flung her coat to the side before Urie made his first attack against the ghoul, Hsiao charged from behind and sent a powerful kick that met at Floppy's front as he turned, causing his attention to shift to her on his front side. Following this attack, she told Shinsanpei Aura to go low, and he stabbed Floppy in the back. The formation went awry when Higemaru was too close for Saiko Yonebayashi to finish the ghoul. After Floppy and the Owl ghoul spoke and Owl planned to leave with Akira Mado and Yumitsu Tomoe, she and her squad, minus Higemaru and Shinsanpei who were both injured, continued to fight against Floppy.[9] As Floppy activated his kakuja, Hsiao attempted to engage him in a battle, only to be quickly repelled and defeated.[10]
