"I'm ready to try." Besides, his pride says that he can't get shown up at EVERYTHING she does. So Akihiko plants his feet, even as the electricity races along his arms and nips at his face. He replays what he just saw her do, wondering if he can manage anything close to that.
Especially since that target is still in the air, and he doesn't want it landing in one piece. Akihiko braces, settles into a boxing stance, and then steps forward with a sweeping upper cut. His heart is still pounding from that shock he got, but somehow the cadence has switched up; its more like excitement, like he's stepping into the ring after getting just the right read on his opponent, and flowing through moves he's practiced a dozen times.
This time he doesn't need his Evoker to call down lightning. He snaps his fist out, and the lightning goes arcing up from his limbs and strikes through the alligator, clean as an arrow shot. Akihiko tries not to stare as it falls towards them. He's torn a good chunk out of the monster... But he also feels like they need to finish the job when it lands.
"One more shot, and we've got it." His voice almost crackles a little with left over lightning. And it's probably for the best he can't see his own eyes, with the little flecks of yellow in them; color that wasn't there before.
