His ankle slips from the grasp of those first tendrils. As fast as the strands of manifested thought are, they're still not quite fast enough to get a good hold. They miss again on the second, third, fourth attempts to stop him, until he's nearly in arms reach of Dipper, but the force that hurtles at his gut is impossible to maneuver around and he's pushed back as it smashes into him.

It doesn't take long to recover however and within seconds he's attempting another charge at Dipper but finds he can't get far. Those few seconds are enough for Dippers teke to wrap around his leg and they send him crashing to the ground with a hard crack the moment he tries to stumble forward.

Still within only a few feet of the other Legionnaire, he tries in vain to wildly swipe at him, only managing to claw at the ground, gouging marks into it. Furious the possessed speedster shrikes, voice altered into a piercing inhuman sound as his uncontrolled molecular vibrations increase violently, speedforce energy crackling off of him. Shallow cracks start to form in the floor underneath him, some of the material even peeling away in thin frayed strips under the stress of his contact with it.
