Tony knelt, gathering energy like a coiled spring.
Suddenly, he rocketed out of the hole and ran
toward the golem at full strength. The statue renewed its
deadly hail, but Tony willed himself to dodge the rocks
until he was almost upon it. He vaulted over the giant
and planted two sharp kicks to the back of its head.
The effort cost too much. Tony botched his
landing and crumpled into a heap on the floor. But his
face broke out into a huge grin. “Didn't see that one
coming, did you?”
The statue fell to its knees before crumbling
away altogether
