Allen noticed it and prepared himself. However, although he did so, the beast arrived in front of him before he had anticipated it. The beast, then, knocked him off Stripes' back as it leaped on it.
Then, beyond Allen's expectation, as he was falling, the speedy beast followed him.
For whatever the intention of the beast, Allen prepared to counter it. But first, he had to survive the rampage of the beasts.
With a burst of divine energy, Allen burned some of his divine energy and propelled himself shallowly in the sturdy space of the shrine. As he did so, Allen disappeared from his location and reappeared in the part that no longer has beasts' stampede.
Meanwhile, as he did so, Stripes finally noticed that Allen is no longer on his back but he momentarily received Allen's message telling him to continue and he will follow. With that, Stripes reluctantly looked away and concentrated on heading towards the center.
