Bruce flipped while he was airborne, agoniki burning his body while partial paralysis kept him from forming a new platform for himself. 

By sheer luck his left arm struck another floating piece of the tower, and he forced his hand into a hook to latch on. The general pain throughout his limbs was like blaring white noise, an obstacle to his focus more than debilitating damage since the attack had been secondhand. 

He somehow hauled himself onto solid ground, taking a knee.

Bruce grit his teeth, and manipulating his stone form, re-broke his arm, forcing the pain into a focal point that sharpened his concentration and forced him to his feet. He swiveled around to face Zelraka. He mended the self-imposed damage to his right arm. In actuality, it might have been beneficial to make the break complete and clean. It almost felt natural once he'd asserted his Sage state fully again. 

[color=0072bc][b]"Two minutes,"[/b][/color] he murmured, guessing the rough time that had elapsed since he made his initial estimate. That left eight at least, if he understood how Nexus had damaged him as well as he believed. [color=0072bc][i]'That means I've got four.'[/i][/color]

Bruce watched Zios throw himself straight back into the fight. He listened to the pulse of the earth he felt, discerning it apart from the agoniki and the paralysis that was steadily leaving.

Bruce brought a massive amount of the sand he'd spread earlier to himself, shifting it into a huge, hulking form with hands as big as Zelraka. A mouth came up from the platform Bruce had stood on and closed around him, stone hardening between the crack that had been an opening until it was gone. Without any base, the creature couldn't stand, but its reach let it bring one hand up beneath the fusion of the two Order members, the other arcing down to meet it from above.
