Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nix had a brief flash of worry: what if that senshi really is a doll? Slamming into that would probably hurt him more than the doll...

...Luckily, though, it turned out his target wasn't a doll, just had interesting makeup. Granted, the way he determined that was blocking a punch, so that didn't feel great. Still, it was expected, and Nix didn't spend all that time training to fight for nothing...so taking a hit on his arm didn't even slow him down a s he swung his other fist to ring doll boy's bell.

No time to look around at anything else in this moment, Nix was fully focused on what Mali did, and where he should land his own hits.

It was a pretty late realization that he'd taken too long in dealing with the senshi--there was something moving behind him again that wasn't barf. So instead of swinging a second time, he followed up his swing at the head with spinning off to the side and letting the monster's claws dig into Nix's glove, which bore the brunt of the hit.

He grunted from the force and shook his head. "Mmm, nope, not gonna let you dig those into me again!"

Not that there was all that much choice. All he could really do in that moment was continue the motion of his spin to swing an open palm (which had previously been a fist going for the enemy senshi) to slap his attacker and maybe knock the...creature off balance enough to get the initiative on both of them again.

Grabbing Nix's uniform, as it turned out, wasn't really all that much different from grabbing a person with just unusually textured skin. He wasn't expecting to get manhandled over, but once he was lifted, he actually twisted himself in a way that facilitated rolling over the top of the corrupt senshi.

As he was released, he let out a small, not even slightly frightened, "Bye~" before dropping down and using his Big Tongue to grapple himself to safety a couple floors down. He sat down on a ledge that wasn't direclty in sight if one were to peer over the edge. He looked up for a moment, and considered his options.

"Rude," he muttered.
