"Damn," Uranus said. While she'd doubted they were illusions, part of her had hoped they might be. Before Neptune could ask whatever she'd planned to, the creatures were charging.
"World Shaking!" Uranus shouted, bringing her hand up, then down and slamming it into the ground as the lizards rushed forward. Her attack let loose the same time as Neptune's, and to similar effect. The lizards the attacks had hit were slammed into the ground, but were still conscious. They shook their heads, as if clearing them, and turned to run the opposite way, which, Uranus noticed, was towards Tonks-san and two others, whom she could see in the distance.
Whether the lizards were retreating or choosing new victims, she didn't really have time to consider, as more sprang out around them. She moved to unsheath her Space Sword, but before she could, one of the lizards had grabbed her from behind, pinning her arms, and hoisted her up into the air. "Whoah!" she said, startled, for a moment, into inaction. Where had it come from, and how had it gotten a drop on her?
