Bruce's mouth twitched into the briefest grimace at Blup's assessment of the situation- without an effective way to utilize his Ki against the opponent, he was essentially left with the ability to taunt and goad Rajaka into breaking something he wasn't supposed to. And though that seemed like it might turn out to be enough to survive, it was also... unsatisfying. 

His introspection was interrupted by Jeff calling to him, and he could sense the surge in power from his platform. Rajaka's Ki continued to intensify. He glanced at the seething giant- his pride refused to believe that he couldn't find some way to strike back, even if the attack proved ineffective. He recalled the lesson he and Ross had finished not hours ago. This was [i]real[/i], and there were bigger things to worry about beyond this fight. Bruce called on his blade, unsheathing and hurling it in a wide arc around and behind Rajaka, outside his Ki antibody radius. The sword landed, blade lodged in the ground. 

[color=0072bc][b]"I'm ready for that extra boost, Jeff."[/b][/color] Bruce said. His robes fluttered, and particles of dirt became visible around his left hand. Where did the material come from? He couldn't have reacted fast enough to bring any with him once Shaidra grabbed them. Yet there it was, and the earth shifted in color, covering his hand like a second skin and darkening. He titled his weight back to aim himself away from Rajaka, setting a trajectory that also brought him away from Jeff- no sense in putting both of them in danger. Almost imperceptibly, he winced as though some process of his actions were causing pain, yet all he did was smirk at their opponent.
