[Akira can't do much to avoid the creature's appendages at such a close range when he's trying to keep the guardian pinned; as a consequence, there's a few tears in his wings and shallow cuts on his arms already, oozing murky yellow blood. He understands without even looking over that Dextera hasn't been able to get a shot off yet, so if there's something he can do to speed this up...
Suddenly he's struck with a more creative idea than brute force. He lets go of the monster just long enough to grab two of its appendages instead, wrapping them around the tree until it's effectively tied in place by its own arms. If it wants to escape, it risks damaging or breaking them altogether.]
Dextera, now--! [Akira's cut off as one of the remaining appendages shoots forward, piercing him through the chest. Another plunges through his stomach and twists its way in, trapping him in place. The two are at a stalemate.]
