Sends Nemean Titan through a building

He spun, turning quickly, and I almost missed seeing it. The violet beam slashed out, striking at his hand, following something in the air, the beam stopping short instead of continuing down to hit the city, because it touched something.

I flew to one side, and felt the air woof as it whipped past me. A dark, ice-crusted bit of concrete chucked my way, surreptitiously.

A second woof, a moment later, lower impact because I'd moved further away, and it traveled a slightly different course.

That would have ended me.

The card up his sleeve now spent, he wasted no time in repeating the effort. I saw Crystal and my Aunt Sarah use forcefields to block or deflect chunks of concrete I couldn't even see in the gloom.

I'd run into a wannabe ninja who hadn't thrown actual ninja stars with the accuracy this monster was hurling slabs of concrete and roofing.

I shot it, training my laser on it in hopes of putting it of balance. The beam had no recoil when I fired, but it did have an impact as it struck home.

Arms around its head, hand still placed roughly in the beam's way, it crashed through a building that was already toppled, and dust exploded around it as it brought its arms out to either side.
