As Ny'kara began to make a move for Kaela, Carlos knew it was up to him to act — to protect her. His body was battered and far from recovered, but that didn't matter anymore. Summoning the last reserves of his strength, he charged forward at full speed toward Ny'kara.
Reaching him in a heartbeat, Carlos threw a powerful kick straight at Ny'kara's torn stump — the wound still oozing blood from earlier. His foot slammed into it with a loud, sickening thud. But Carlos wasn't done yet.
In one swift motion, he surged lightning through his leg and into Ny'kara's bleeding stump. The energy crackled violently, building to a sudden, explosive blast that erupted from the wound. The force of the explosion sent Ny'kara crashing to the ground.
'Now that he has wounds without his armor... I'll be able to take over from here. After all, I'm the only one still standing.'
But Ny'kara wasn't finished either.
