At least the Shin'o Academy student could still be relied upon. Even had he been put down for the count Mirajane would have still prepared to combat this newest threat with every bit of confidence as she had now. This powerful determination was the result of her past and having repeatedly been put in life or death situations even as a child, though to others it could easily be confused with arrogance. For her part Mira acknowledged the current circumstances were almost certainly stacked against her and her fledgling ally, but fleeing was clearly not an option here and as such defeating this foe was the only path available to them.

Upon her ally's acknowledgement of her statement, Mira gripped her copper blade with renewed vigor and sprinted forward. As Takehiko began reciting his spell's incantation Mirajane reached the massive Demon and deftly dodged out of the way from an incoming punch with one of it's mighty fists. With one of it's three fists now lodged solidly in the ground, Mira took advantage of her foe's position and struck out with her Zanpakuto by slicing across the back of it's arm. Despite landing a direct hit, Mira had barely managed to break the monster's skin without doing any significant damage to it. Unfortunately the time it took for her to land the blow was enough for the Demon to withdraw it's limb and prepare for a follow up attack.

Right as the behemoth came close to slamming it's boulder-sized fists onto Mirajane's significantly less durable body, suddenly a red glow covered it's silhouette and froze it in place. However, it was clear even with Takehiko having used a full incantation to empower his Kido Spell the Demon would not be restrained for long. Seeing another opportunity to strike, Mira leaped up and grabbed the beast's arm which she used to swing up and land on it's muscular shoulder. With no time to waste the Shinigami lifted her Zanpakuto and thrust it's razor sharp tip into the Demon's eye, sheathing it in it's head; after all, one guaranteed weakness of practically any living creature was their eyes. At this point Takehiko's spell broke and the Shadow Fall soldier collapsed in a heap on the ground, apparently killed in one go by their combined strategy.

Even with both hands wrapped around her Zanpakuto's tsuka Mirajane struggled to withdraw her blade from her defeated enemy's skull. Evidently the tip had gone made it's way through back of the creature's head, and thus the weapon was lodged in it's rocky skin like Excalibur. "Give...it....back..!" Without any warning a meaty fist struck Mirajane on her side, immediately breaking her left arm in multiple places while simultaneously knocking the wind out of her chest and causing her to grasp for breath; however that wasn't all as she was sent flying through the air into a stack of near empty crates near Takehiko which did not serve to soften her landing much at all. With an incredibly loud and animalistic ROAR the Demon rose to it's feet and turned to it's remaining enemy. With a gruesome squishing sound beast removed Mirajane's Zanpakuto from it's eye socket and threw the copper sword at Takehiko with enough power to send it whizzing through the air at a rapid speed.

In terms of ideal situations, this was going alright but he couldn't hold it. He panted a bit as he felt the sweat drip down his jaw. That was a big creature to restrain with that kido even with a full incantation. Something didn't feel right as he glanced at the creature for a while. It seemed like it was down but when he saw movement. Its body still held the beat of life within it. They'd lowered their guard far too early in this situation. His choice was to shout or ready himself quickly as he saw the fist making an impact with her. Trouble was, he wasn't sure he could react that quickly. She'd been injured badly and this situation didn't seem to improve any. Takehiko couldn't catch her he just wasn't quick enough. Because a sword had been sent at him which he quickly avoided. Not having enough time to avoid that and help her. It would hopefully skid across the floor. Its body was hard making it difficult to manage in any case. Takehiko needed to think and quickly for this to work. He'd need to apply his mask most likely to get anywhere with it.

But keeping the leaps in logic to a small amount his flash step and kido were his skills of merit. Takehiko hadn't gotten very far with his skills as of yet. So the idea of him causing damage to it where she couldn't. That was unlikely but she had already inflicted injuries on it. How much gas did he have left in the tank was the question. Takehiko stood where he was for less than a minute. Considering his options to buy her some time. He was going to have to use some desperate measures to close this out. Soe he hoped he could predict the moves correctly. ]The kido would have to be used in order and likely fast. He needed to buy her some time at this point in the junction. Takehiko saw the damage done to its eye and decided a direct move would be best. Applying his mask now for a bit more juice though he couldn't hold this long. He knew what the goal would have to be. He'd need to get up close and person inhaling a breath he used a flash step. Releasing a full power Byakurai in its eyes.

Using one hand to do this while his other hand prepared to parry a blow with Seki, or repulse A small blue orb would appear when the side of the swing was detected. It had enough extra push on it to send the arm flying away from him. Trouble was he couldn't really say this was a brilliant idea. Takehiko had to make sure to keep moving at this point after this portion. He moved away from it now, slowly guiding it away from her. Mira needed time to recover and get up again. At worse case, they'd need to call on some back up of some sort. Hopefully having blinded the big brute with the shots to the eyes he had some advantage. But he doubted it as his mask began to crack already. Damn it nothin lasted long enough as he felt his tank getting near empty. Slowly his hand touched his zanpakuto blade drawing it. Nothing could be done for it with how low he was getting on energy. His blue eyes had returned almost from the yellow color they became with his mask.

So in terms of the goal if everything had gone as planned Mira now had its flank. Takehiko was sadly stuck facing its big ugly mug. What he wouldn't give to have a release or more spells under his belt. Kido was such an expansive art for those who used it. But at the moment ten of each spell were all he had to work within his knowledge. Takehiko didn't know if he could really cut this thing as it stood. He was sort of drawing on empty out of his well at this moment. He needed time and maybe some stamina pills. To bring back lost energy that had been expanded on this endeavor. Sweat dripped down his body from head to toe as he felt danger was near. But that was fine by him really in this case he was helping. He couldn't heal her injuries at the moment. Because well a rather large demon seemed against the idea also. Takehiko didn't know much about it but if he had the energy now seemed like learning time. Breathes came and went as he waited for a response from the massive monster.
