Panicking as she ran into a second monster, whatever exactly it was, she stepped back nervously as she was cornered by the two level 1 akuma. Just as the second one she'd run into seemed about to attack her however, out of nowhere it suddenly exploded, causing Ritsu to cover her face with her arms  briefly from the debris, glancing back up as she saw an unfamiliar figure appear. Only able to assume he was the one to destroy the thing, that assumption was confirmed as he held his weapon and faced the second akuma still watching them.  Coming out of her daze, she nodded her head lightly when she realized he was talking to her "Yeah....I think so, thank you...." she trailed off, before looking to the second akuma that was not closing in on them, getting closer.<br/><br/>At his warning, she nodded her head again. She didn't have to question his suggestion, and considering he seemed more than capable of protecting himself with the way he handled the other creature, she felt this seemed to be something he was used to. Seeing the creature lighting up from the gun-like machinery attached to its body, she quickly headed the strangers advice, fleeing the area. Whatever that creature was, she knew she had nothing to protect herself from it, or so she believed anyways.<br/><br/>She ran a few streets away, before her feet finally slowed to a stop and she allowed herself to catch her breath. Turning around to glance back in the direction she'd come from, and where she'd left the strange man, she could hear an explosion followed by smoke rising from the area she'd just come from, assuming, and hoping, that it was the result of the creature being killed like the first. What even were those things anyways? And who was that man? She didn't recall seeing him before, and the village was small where just about everyone knew everyone. And there was also the fact he seemed hardly phased or concerned with the appearance of whatever those creatures were.<br/><br/>Just as she was considering this, she was abruptly pulled out of her thoughts, almost quite literally, as a large figure grabbed her causing Ritsu to scream. A sneering, broken cackle coming from the inhuman figure as it spoke "Found you~" the creature snickered, Ritsu struggling to yank away from it as she was able to twist enough to catch sight of what had grabbed it. It somehow resembled those earlier creatures she'd run into, though something was significantly different about it. It wasn't quite as large and round like the other two, where the other two looked like large rock grenades of sorts, this one was far smaller - though still significantly bigger than herself, and was more humanoid in the sense it had limbs - though, several of them, having four arms and two legs. Two of the arms were relatively normal, as far as arms went in general, one on each side. However two of the other arm-like limbs looked far more dangerous - not that the other two didn't - and appeared more weaponized, and sharp.
