He remained where he was and Giant’s hands passed through his body as if sifting sand. Time to end this. Lexx moved painfully slow, fighting the nanites feeding his body with an increasingly powerful urge to evade. He had to allow the hit this time. Vest’s wings slapped the air as he approached Lexx. His fist glowed as he drew back. The punch landed solidly on Lexx’s cheek. Stars briefly flashed across a field of darkness. Ice cold shards ripped across his back coming from a second attack.

He relaxed his wings and fell out of their range within seconds.
