As he slowly pried his eyes open, Ryuko's movement had slowed significantly. Slow enough that Toshiro's survival instincts kicked in, and he dived out of the way of the scissor blade's attack.

Looking around, he then noticed how everything - well, everything in motion - had also seemed to slow to a snail's pace. The sky too... It was like the ship and everything upon it had been whisked away into space.

"As you willed, so it came true. The essence of the Chariot made manifest. " Oh, so this meets the specific criteria for Chariot talking. Strangely, his stand now sported new gold-tinted flairs and highlights on his armour. Odd. "Now there is enough time to set things right. It must not be wasted."

"Right." Toshiro said with conviction. He didn't know if this was a product of his dying mind or reality, but he would make most of it all the same.

A faint tick sounded out through the silence.

First things first - Nui. That accursed doll would most certainly kill them if left unchecked, even if Ryuko magically turned back to normal. So, step 1 is disarming her.

He considered for a moment how he should do that, whether he should literally dis-arm her, or pry the purple scissor from her claws. Focusing hard on his choices, Chariot suddenly summoned right next to him, and a cyan-green light shot forth from the gemstone on its temple. This light formed a 'duplicate' Nui and Satsuki, which proceeded to act out another few seconds of movement at a more normal speed, before pausing at the two of them caught in a stalemate.

'The hell?'

"This is a prediction of the near future, assuming nothing is changed." Oh. That made a bit more sense.

Knowing that, Toshiro replayed the 'premonition', and saw that the next moves were Satsuki attacking and Nui blocking in return. Naturally, then, the best option would be to disrupt Nui without disrupting Satsuki, and, well, Nui's blood spraying everywhere might make her slip, or even blind her temporarily.

So, he chose to take the purple scissor out of her hands instead. Besides, blood creates an awful mess. He used the same folding technique the Ryuko developed for her own scissor, and to his surprise it worked. He slotted the folded blade into his belt, and moved on to his next objective.

A strange stinging sensation was beginning to arise within his head. Hopefully that'd pass soon enough. He can't let anything get in the way of saving Ryuko, nor his friends.

The next part of his plan involved Senketsu. Should the kamui come into close contact with the connections between Ryuko and Junketsu, he might be able to affect the connections between them... somehow...

Say, by cutting them or hell, even just taking Junketsu's place as the one in control. That would come with its own problems...but it was worth a try nonetheless.

"You're coming with me too, Senketsu." Toshiro grabbed the uniform and dragged it with him back to Ryuko.

Man, what the hell was up with his head? It's like pins and needles up there!
