Well, at least he had the decency to let him stand up. Which was nice. Then the everpressing issue of how much Kanitah could get done before Fury closed the gap between them. It was quite obvious that he hadn't been utilizing his full skillset, so maybe Kanitah had misread his abilities three years ago. Some limitations and terms may apply, and stuff like that. So that was even better. To be entirely honest, Kanitah isn't the sort who likes his opponents to have their full power. Never has understood that idea that other brazen warriors employ, it just pits you against the firing squad, and that's not a good place to be.

So here he was, catching his breath with his hand against a tree. Hmm, what can he do with a tree and a few dozen feet. Picking it up wouldn't be too far out of the question, your average oak tree by calculable weight is only around 8.8 tons. Which is well within the realm of possibilities. But hoisting a tree from the ground and hurling it would take a fair amount of time, and would put him at a distinct disadvantage. So, that wouldn't work very well. 

But, he could utilize at least part of the tree to turn the battle in his favor. 

Nothing to do as he stood up though, Kanitah took a deep breath and stepped backwards twice. Putting him just slightly rear of the tree. "I'd lie down and die, Fury. If I didn't know that I'm about the only one who can put you down!" The muscles in his entire body tensed and the veins from his neck to his feet bulged as he yelled. Kanitah brought his right arm backwards, his right hand curling tightly into a fist. 

Kanitah slammed his hand into the tree, the blow shredding through the wood with relative ease. Chunks of bark and splinters of wood erupted from the opposite side of the tree as his hand passed through it. While it wasn't any kind of targeted attack, Kanitah was making an attempt at forcing Fury to turn his head away from him. (Keep in mind, the tree isn't destroyed. It just has a chunk blown out of it.)

If the gambit worked out, Kanitah would immediately clear the gap between them and begin his own offensive.
