He skidded across the floor. Before he could fully recover, the corridor ahead imploded.
Joachim burst through the wreckage in pursuit.
Julius rolled aside just as Joachim's strike came down, the blow pulverizing the floor where he had been a second earlier. The shockwave rattled the hallway.
Julius planted a foot, twisted his body, and drove his fist forward.
The Knightframe's punch connected squarely with Joachim's torso, the impact detonating in a burst of shattered crystal and flesh as the fight spilled fully into the halls of Zima-12.
