[The good news is that he can still run towards her - it's just a flesh wound; his leg muscles work fine despite how nasty it looks. He grabs her offered arm, trusting her strength to pull him up securely.
As soon as he's seated behind her he wraps the injured (but likewise still functional) arm around her waist, keeping the other ready to fend off the wyverns with Muramasha if they dare attack Pegasus physically... and they don't seem to be opposed to it. While the lizards, left behind on the ground as soon as the winged horse takes off, can only scream after them in anger, the two wyverns appear determined to tag-team the new element on the battlefield.]
They're trying for a pincer attack!!
[While the winged beasts didn't coordinate their attacks until now they're seemingly eager to change gears, flying on either side of Pegasus until they almost overtake him, then throwing themselves at him with open maws. Hijikata nullifies their fire breath effect - by now he doesn't even need to use hand gestures to guide himself anymore; just determining that he'll apply the magic is enough -, but the enemies simply proceed to try and sink their teeth into the white mount's wing and neck, respectively.
If Rider can outmaneuver them despite the effect of the Darkness on her powers she may just be able to widen the gap between them, at least temporarily, but if not Hijikata will get physical with the aggressive monsters.]
