***
The old man appeared between Josh and Bernard as they bulleted forward!
The two were alarmed but there was little they could do because the old man had already made his move by the time they even thought to counter!
Bernard saw the old man swing his cane, but it turned into a green blur that vanished from his sight before he felt tremendous force strike against his chest and launch him backwards!
Bernard felt his insides disagree with the forward and backward forces that assaulted him at the same time but in the end he flew across the room and knocked against the wall with a terrible thump!
Josh used the time the old man had taken to beat Bernard and gathered his bearings before he launched a punch with his fist looking like it would disappear from existence at any time!
It warped under the effects of his innate ability as Josh activated his extension in the next moment!
Lonesome Fist!
