The prisoner who was faking being asleep instantly awoke after he heard the words that Mako had just uttered. He jumped out of bed and quickly faced Mako, only to see his hands covered in sparks.
"What are you doing?!" Nikhil shouted as took a defensive stance.
Mako didn't reply with words but rather with a bolt of lightning aimed straight at Nikhil's face. Nikhil instantly moved to the left and was barely able to dodge the lightning bolt, but as he did so, a fist appeared in his line of sight.
Mako purposefully launched the lightning bolt a little to the right so that he would be able to dodge it, but now he had him right where he wanted him to be.
[Dash has been activated]
Mako sped up as before Nikhil could even rebalance himself after dodging the lightning bolt, his punch planted straight on his right cheek and he got launched a couple of feet backward in the air.
