"I saw it," Alex said, nodding slightly. Dashing to the side, he brought out the nuke and fired four times in succession.  Bringing a hand down to use as a springboard, he launched himself into the opposite direction to fire three more. He rolled to a stop, aiming carefully to fire two final blades. These last two blades were aimed for the head and the back of the guy's leg. Namely, for major arteries. Basically, he was forcing the guy to have to keep moving, and screwing up his focus. Especially for when the older man himself charged in at an angle to swing the rapidly forming sword-blade again, and then chaining with a steel-tipped boot aimed at the guy's skull.
