Taking on the youma alone was perhaps not one of his best ideas, but what else was a cat to do when the icky nasty cross between weed matter, octopus and some sort of horned thing had come lumbering along like that?

Besides it wasn’t as if he’d just gone and charged the thing.

In fact there hadn’t been any charging involved.

Instead he had been at the park, up in a tree and lying sprawled along a branch when the youma’s aura pinged against his senses.

So he had used his communication device to call Athene and leave a message on his senshi phone before stretching and standing up with the intention of trying to track down the youma.

As it happened the youma, nasty thing that it was, had in a way come to him - or at least it had come by his direction and he couldn’t in all conscience leave it alone to do goodness knows what.

Besides it wasn’t as if this was the first time that he had dealt with a youma.

And so he had waited until the thing was passing beneath his branch before launching himself down and at it with a hiss and claws out.

He struck, claws striking true as he raked at the thing causing it to let out a loud growl, but he wasn’t expecting the lucky (at least he was calling it lucky) blow from the tentacle-like appendage growing out of the thing’s head that knocked him off and sprawling.

Hi Daffu, hope this works as a start - let me know if you want me to change anything. Sorry for double quote - tossed a ref in on what inspired the youma in case you wanted it
