Riku didn't see the attack from behind the lizard man, and the tail whacked his legs from under him, almost making him do a complete flip. Using the leftover momentum, and some of his own energy, he slammed the scythe into the ground, propelling him even faster, and stuck his right leg forward, attempting to kick Frix in the stomach, it would knock the wind out of a human, maybe it would do the same for the Lizardman. He heard footsteps, midway there, everything seemed to be moving slow; and decided some other must be fighting. Riku focused back on his target, his eyes glinting with determination.
