Unlike the first time, his prey managed to protect itself, even though shielding his chest with his arms would only get him so far. Still, the Heartless scratched red marks down Tsurugi's forearms, as if it could claw right through them and eventually reach his ribs.
But the one with the sword wasn't going to stand idly by. No, those with hearts, they protected each other. They cared.
Honestly, the Anti-Form hadn't expected to be shoved, and that was enough to take it by surprise. When the sword swiped down, it caught him in the head, forcing him to backpedal further until he landed on all fours. He lifted a bloody claw to its head, and while the pain throbbed there, he didn't bleed. There might be more darkness swirling out of that area now, but that was the only indication that he'd been hurt.
Clearly, he couldn't take down the weaker one until he took out the one with the sword, and so the Heartless switched strategies and leapt straight for Kratos, hoping to find an opening so he could pin him to the ground.
