[Goku -- no, Seiten Taisei goes down, face-first into the ash, his long hair settling in a halo around his head. He heals too quickly for Hakkai to have much time; he takes advantage of the pause as best he can, sitting up and scanning wildly. Where is his limiter? Surely, surely it can't have shattered, it must have been removed; if it's shattered, nothing but personal intervention from a boddhisatva is going to save them. Therefore he will assume it is not.
He can't see it nearby. There's no telltale gleam of gold--
-- and, faster than he'd expected, Seiten Taisei is up again, clawed hands closing on Hakkai's arms and bearing him down flat to the ground. He might not want to kill Goku, but, demonstrably, the Sage has no such compunctions about him. His head hits the ground hard enough that he's the one seeing stars, too dazed to dare teleport, but he struggles for his life, twisting, kicking, clawing at any flesh he can reach.]
