As the dark flames neared the man with the luminescent head, he made no move to dodge them. However when the flames were close enough that he could feel the heat emanating from them, he seemed to shrink in size as several coils of wire maneuvered their way around the heat source and reformed as the man twenty yards away as though his entire body had been one long coil of wire.<br/><br/>"Well at least I know you can fight back!" the man said as his head reformed and lit up again. he then filled his lungs with air and livewires began to spread around Shingaku and tie him up. they were not simply electric, but were giving off massive amounts of blue tinted light as well. As this left the yet to be identified 'glowstick' in direct contact with Shingaku, he could only hope that the light would render Shingaku weak enough that Akashi would resume control. Then he turned to Bloodshot.<br/><br/>"I was just gauging your intelligence, as well as adding to mine. Of course your armor isn't conductive! Your confidence alone," he grunted against the pull of Shingaku, who was proving to be quite hard to restrain, then continued. "tells me enough about your choice of armor. tell me though..." a pause and another grunt "Are you fond of shooting people. If so, I am as good as dead, right?"<br/><br/>Then he ignored whatever it was bloodshot was doing to focus on restraining Akashi's inner demon.
