With his arm slapping against his own chest, Kanitah noticed that Fury had moved away from his snatch. This position wasn't a good one, not at all, he had no guard up and Fury was moving in for massive strike. Even with his durability, Kanitah couldn't take that punch, that's a killing blow. Even worse, this was his fault. The grab was instinctual instead of planned, Kanitah had put himself in this situation. Taking the punch would be stupid, he didn't plan to die today. That was not on the agenda, he still needed to find his daughter. So, what were his options? 

Fury was going to plow into him with a ridiculous amount of force, either killing him or burying him in the dirt. Neither option sounded particularly enjoyable, but being buried at least left him alive. For now. 

The only option that he had was to survive. 

Kanitah whipped around and stepped into Fury's blow, his right arm totally useless right now. He couldn't raise it in time, but his left arm was free. A punch wouldn't work, he wasn't faster than Fury. All he could do was to bring his left arm up to his face as he stepped forward.

Stepping into the strike was the only thing that kept him from being decapitated by the Fireen's punch.

Fury's arm slammed into his shoulder, his fist missing his head but the metal at the base of his gauntlet beat at the side of his neck and edge of his shoulder. 

As Fury followed through with the strike, Kanitah was plowed into with the energy of Fury's charge. The stout warrior was slammed head first to the ground, his own weight causing even worse pain as he slammed into the earth. The wind was knocked out of him, survival was great, but the pain wasn't. In the fray, Kanitah had lost sight of his foe. 

Only one of his eyes listened to him, he tried scoping out the area with just one eye.  With a shove he rolled over onto his stomach, his right hand splayed out and his left pressed against his chest. Kanitah still didn't see Fury, the only thing that he could see were splotches of light. He had hit his head pretty hard against the ground. 

Man, that grab had really put him in a bad spot.
