Nia herself was taken aback by the sudden surge of speed, propelling herself past what her physical limit could achieve. She tackled Raven as Jorm took hold of their Master, retreating towards the Ascension Gates below. Despite the ruin, it alone stood untouched.
"Raven! Get ahold of—" Nia's words were abruptly cut off as a powerful knee struck her in the abdomen, stealing the air from her lungs. The impact was so intense that it sent her hurdling through the air, the force of the shockwave carrying her for miles. Meanwhile, Raven, her attention fixed on her Master, moved with a speed that defied comprehension, a blur of light energy hurtling towards Jorm.
