Snippet #2414103

John could have swatted the woman out of the sky as she fell like a child learning to play baseball, but instead let her fall. She did not waste time however, and rolled over to lash out for a furious sweep attack... and failed. He had been gripping the ground the moment before, and this vice-like lock meant he was as immovable as a lighthouse. Her leg crashed into his and stopped. It was like kicking a building.

John instantly took advantage of this, using her stalled leg and complete loss of momentum to detach one of his legs from the ground to grab hers. His taloned foot closed around her ankle like an alligator's jaws around the neck of a zebra. He instantly took to the sky, an unworldly wind billowing upward towards his wings with titanic force. The acceleration alone meant it would be near impossible, for anyone dragged along, to even lift one's arms or legs towards the sky. At this point, Juri would be a rag-doll.

"Do you yield?" He yelled through the whistling wind, gaining altitude at a faster and faster pace.
