The Heart's legs are swept out from under it, but the abberation does not fall far. Several long tentacles, the lower wings, and spires of bone shoot down to support its weight. The upper two wings pull forward to close around his body as the kick lands squarely in the face. Skin is torn and his head deflected, but the bone structure within seems unharmed. From this position, with or without Ryu's leg trapped, The Heart's right foot would strike out at Ryu's body, aiming to crush his ribs. If his leg was trapped his two hands would attempt to grab it and sink its claws into his leg, or failing that crush it in his powerful grip.
