Neku wasn't exactly thrilled with the way things were going. Desco was back in the middle of things, and taking the Reaper's side to boot. Rand got outmaneuvered and Neku had to cut the lightning tether before Nyeseth could force the man into it. It looked like Rand could use some psychs Neku hadn't seen before; that sword of fire was pretty nice. He backpedaled as Desco's tentacles reached out for him, repressing the instinct to attack and dashing backwards and to one side.
Those things had a lot of reach.
The tentacle reached out and slapped Neku in the chest, latching on like a gigantic octopus, but with teeth. The other one flung itself forward, sweeping Neku's legs out from under him. He gave the attached limb a hard shove as he fell, freeing himself from that mouth with a sound of tearing clothing and skin. A not-insignificant amount of blood decorated the flat ground as Neku hit, wincing and yelling in pain and noticing Nyeseth closing in fast. He spoke to Desco as he rolled to his feet, already activating the psych on his Black Jupiter and Black Uranus pins. "Desco, this doesn't concern you! Get out of here! It isn't safe to be around a Reaper!"
The teen, forced to use arm motions to keep his concentration, slashed upward through the air with his left arm, trying to lead Nyeseth with the pillar of ice that he was summoning. Then, he swept the arm diagonally down, sending a bolt of lightning from behind Nyeseth to just next to Neku. He didn't bother sustaining the psych this time, instead backpedaling to keep both the Reaper and Desco in sight. "Getting little girls to fight for you? That's just low, even for a Reaper." The situation reminded him of when Shiki had been possessed by Kitaniji, and the memory made his blood boil. He'd paid the Conductor back for that, and he wasn't going to let some Harrier in a kimono get the best of him.
