[Post Theme - Cold Intent]
Pain.
There was risk in approaching the target, of course. A calculated risk, but a risk nonetheless. The passive lightning shield that crackled around the storm god lashed out at him even as the seals took. One, two.
Makoto flung himself backward the second he felt the seals take. There was no resistance to them. No defense save the lightning surges. No conscious impulse attempting to override the seals.
Good. The semi-disjointed thought processes he was running on ticked off the minor objective as successful. Continue--
Another burst of lightning, cutting through the useless defense. The winds around him ceased to blur as the lightning disrupted his grasp on the difficult elemental chakra, even warped as it was.
Problem. Adjust.
He lashed out, still calculated, not blindly, with intent to knock the enemy off balance. Timing his movements to Katsuo's in perfect sync, moving with just a fraction more speed--
Heavy hitter assisted. Success.
...Throughout it all, he was not visibly reacting to the pain, not to mention that he had apparently shrugged off the electrical disruption to his vision that was still, in fact, technically affecting him.
Swaying slightly on his feet, expression blank, he turned to analyze the field. Something was assisting him with his normal processing, speeding it up and stripping emotion from the context entirely. Not a single quip made its way across his mind as he mapped out his next movements methodically.
Attack, a small voice whispered inside him. Attack.
Details about the surrounding environment being stored, catalogued for analysis later--
Attack.
Go.
Their armored ally was down. Unconscious? Most likely. Leave that to the medic.
Attack. Nownownow.
Small or big? He'd been holding back, conserving his reserves, but now, after a hit like that, was surely the time to press the advantage.
Yes. Go big. Attack. Hit hard.
Yes. No use in holding back anymore. Full blast.
Move on instinct, you know you want to.
Let go.
Disturbing things were happening with his teammates. Should he not focus on that?
No.
Let go...
