>You bank rightward, moments before the behemoth's jaws snap where you were. You should have enough clearance to avoid its horns.

>You make your way past its horns and stab into its neck. You've already opened one wound hear, and have time to cut another into it before the behemoth can jerk away from your blade. The wound beneath this one barely has any purple to it at all.

>You look back to see the behemoth is rising up a bit. You also see Futo keeping her distance, tossing some colorful danmaku toward the behemoth's head.

>You fire at its wing, While it often has a reasonably easy time dodging its head and neck away from such things, it has a harder time moving its wing out of the way. The danmaku pelts it fiercely before it can twist itself away, interrupting its ascent, and you see more of its purple glow extinguished.
>Rising upward, you are able to catch up with the behemoth as it gets away from your attack.

>You do so, and note some motion beneath the behemoth, a brief glimpse of green and flash of danmaku. Tojiko, perhaps?
>You fly toward it's lower neck, sword ready, as it starts to roll in midair, turning its underbelly toward you. Its less-injured wing lashes out behind it, away from you.
