Seto watched on in stunned silence as Graye went flying far further than he would've thought possible. That hesitation lasted but a moment as he activated his Quinque and met the tail coming at him with four of his own. They strained against the brute strength of this Chimera before suddenly the pressure left.
The Chimera was lifted full body by a second tail by Ketsu, slamming into the ground moments later. Before Ketsu could continue the maneuver, the Ghoul planted his feet back beneath him and put opposite force to that which Ketsu was applying. It became a tug of war of sorts, neither side gaining the advantage.
Suddenly the tail nearly doubled in size as another merged with it, shrinking just as quickly and slipping out of Ketsu's grasp. Before it could get very far, however, he clamped back down on it, causing the Chimera to growl in anger.
Meanwhile Seto was looming from the side, coming in the flank the beast. As one of his green tendrils swung out, the beast jumped backwards, tugging Ketsu along with it in an attempt to knock the young Investigator off balance, and surprisingly avoiding the attack by Seto, who paused to consider his options.
Given the relative close range of his partner and the rogue Ghoul, he could operate freely without risking injuring Ketsu. For the moment he'd need to wait for the opportune moment to strike.
The Ghoul, upon pulling Ketsu forward, swung out with one of his Koukaku fin blades at the young man's mid section.
