Okuyasu wails on the Chocobo Eater's head with his fists. That'll teach it! His focus is entirely on it even as it attempts to buck him off. Fat chance, this is Okuyasu he's dealing with!

Uendo's familiar voice does nab his attention. "Huh?" Something about an attack? Uendo stands up straight and a familiar portal opens up--bad news. Okuyasu releases his grip on the Chocobo Eater, falling onto the sand below. As the air crackles with hints of thunder, he twists onto his stomach, pushes himself up, and makes a mad dash out of the range of the attack.
