537: Wind Down

They were too close to each other, the power behind the strike was such a that Cole had never brought to bear before. It was intense enough that he could hear his bionic arm creaking in protest as Black Malakai broke through Katunik's defense, smashing his energy swords to a million pieces as glowing metal fragments explode everywhere.

Most of them stabbed back into Katunik's body, riddling the Alien with holes as Cole moved past him, his Black Blade moving through his neck. Katunik's breath got hitched in his throat as he let out a shrill scream that was totally unexpected of the alien swordsman. But Cole stopped the sword before more than an inch of flesh had been penetrated. It would still be a fatal wound because Cole could already feel he had cut through some artery, but it was enough to keep the alien alive long enough for them to save his life.
