Araki (4, 8)
"Oh…" Dread colored Araki's voice as the sound slipped free as the Rift Beast's projectile transformed and finalized. He could feel the thrum in the air, the pulse of the massive creature's heart that lit the red veins aglow. Just as it lowered its body to aim towards Cykes behind them, Araki also crouched to prepare for the destruction that would accompany the projectile's launch. His hands moved quicker than ever, the streams of water whipping around him with enough force to shatter stone. Eyes glanced aside for a moment to take in the two at his side and with a grimace he figured they needed his protection more than himself.
And then the world shattered with the loudest noise Araki had ever had the displeasure to hear. The sound smashed into him, but even as his world blurred he refused to stumble even a step backwards. With a deep breath, he spun and threw the two streams out to his sides. Expanding as they were set loose, the streams formed into walls of water that carved their path through the cracked ground in front of the two beside him. As he himself came to a halt, Araki dropped to a knee and slammed his hands into the ground beside him; just in time to brace for the projectile passing over head.
The water walls did almost nothing, shattering into mist the moment the compressed air hit it. Araki on the other hand managed to hold his position even if it was far from pleasant. As low as he was the force had simply tried to smash him into the ground rather than lift, and the fact he'd sunk a few inches into the dead ground was rather telling. Rising from the imprint, his first instinct was to glance backwards to see the devastation, but something else required his attention and focus. Throwing his arms up, his eyes narrowed as strands of invisible energy shot out to catch the individual that'd arrived into the clearing with him. The strands quickly wove themselves into an invisible blanket behind the man; one that was strained the moment Raiga crashed into it. With a wince the construct stretched before it snapped apart, and Araki growled in annoyance as he set to weaving it together once more. At the very least he'd managed to bleed a good chunk of the momentum away, but there was still more he could do.
Despite his attention being mostly focused on making sure Raiga didn't eat a few meters of dirt on landing at the moment, Araki nonetheless yelled out, "If anyone needs protection, I'll stick close!"
