The box for a machine hums as it's activated, and the centre of it starts to open up, the stalk of the equaliser rising high. Tidus gives up on his uselessly bashing of the vine, mainly because it's decided to pull him back down to the ground, dizzying him with the knock to his head and back.

And it's dragging, the vines also attempting to drag Taiki too. There's a burst of flame that Tidus manages to spit out from his hand at the vine around himself, but it catches at his skin too, flames licking at his face.

It's not enough - but Taiki will find first the vines around him disappearing into nothing as the equaliser finally blossoms, a light glimmer in the air as it spreads it effect outward from itself.
