Yakito was flattered to be a source of excitement for his opponent, and that anecdote about how he met the Saiyan Queen and got his ass absolutely handed to himself by her would probably be something shared with a guffaw around a good snack. But now wasn't the time; Yakito spiraled out of control like a quarterback seeking to knock the wind out from anyone standing in his way.
Things didn't go as expected, however. There was a little je ne sais quoi, a viridian gleam in Gira's eyes that heralded something quite familiar. This took him back to when he first met Ticoga, actually; his sparring tryout with the Emperor found him being on the receiving end of twin eye beams of crimson ki. Back then, it came out as quite the travesty that Yakito did not know that shooting energy out from non-hand body parts was even a possibility. Thanks to this scuffle with Ticoga, Yakito had learned a great deal about the application of ki for offense and defense.
Would today prove as instructive?
No way to know! All that Yakito was certain of was that he needed to get out of harm's way, but the impetus of his charge made it nigh-impossible for him to halt himself. As such, his pupils became dilated slits and the world slowed down to a mire around him, instincts overtaking the likes of inhibition and tactical thinking to take a split-second decision; by crossing his forearms in front of his face, he was able to weather the payload.
It blasted him away from Gira. With a triple backflip and a bit of concentration, though, he was able to make a smooth landing punctuated with a soft thud! "Thanks..." He whispered, his voice hushed further by the sparks lancing around his crimson aura in discordant arcs. "LET'S SEE HOW YOU HANDLE THIS!" A bandaged palm blurred downward to the drop leg holster fastened to one of his thighs, whipping out a state-of-the-art ray gun with sheen red paint embellished by black streaks. He pulled the trigger, causing the microscopic needle-like protrusions dispersed across the firearm's handle to jut out to feed on his ki. In the blink of an eye, a torrent of red spheres was fired at point-blank range as Gira tried to roundhouse kick Yakito.
