As soon as Chaser finished his sentence, Atlas suddenly flew toward us on rocket boots. He pulled his fist back and slammed it into my face, knocking me flat on my back onto the floor, where I lay stunned from the blow.. I looked up to see Atlas raise his fists above his head to bring them down on me, but then Christina’s energy ropes wrapped around his arms and jerked them down, nearly causing Atlas to lose his footing.
“Jack, get him!” Christina shouted. “Now, while I have him distracted!”
Shaking my head, I jumped to my feet and aimed a punch at Atlas’ mask. But he immediately flew upward into the air, with my fist completely missing where his head had been mere moments before. Christina yelped as she was yanked into the air with Atlas, screaming for help as he flew around the room.
