Mikey didn't budge. As Jeff prepared his attack, he fired a third lance at him, and waited for the orbs to converge on his position. At the last moment, his body pulsed outwards, expanding into what looked like a projection of his battle bubble, and negating the four wind-spheres with its explosive design. Mikey's battle bubble had its weaknesses despite being a pretty tight defence. It made him slow, costed quite a bit of energy to sustain, and could be popped with focused attacks when it came out. But this new technique didn't have any those weaknesses, despite requiring faster energy output to activate. His [i]burst bubble[/i] retained defensive resolution, but could also deflect attacks, be used offensively, and be activated in a blink of an eye. Of course, it still had one crucial weakness, but he wasn't about to go shouting it across the battlefield. Mikey fired a fourth lance at Jeff right after his burst bubble concluded, fading into a subtle spray of water and energy, aimed to lead him if he attempted to move.
