Rafael kept his hands up, locking eyes with his opponent. They both had similar abilities, at least one that matched, and while their sources of minions were different, the end result was close enough. Mercury seemed to be doing alright with the zombies downstairs, so Rafael put all his focus on MJ, confident that his friend could hold his ground.<br/><br/>When MJ's attack was sent at him, Rafael countered by slamming a foot on the ground, causing similar vibrations to move along the ground towards MJ. The ground fell apart normally in the places the waves of motion moved individually, but where they met, the panels that fell were reduced to a dust-like consistency. "Gonna take more than that!" He shouted out, sending two more waves of vibration towards MJ with a pair of dramatic stomps to the floor. "By the time I'm done with you, this house is gonna be rockin'!"<br/><br/>And indeed, the house was in fact rockin'. More than Rafael had anticipated. The amount of damage he and MJ were causing in such short time were rapidly weakening the entire building's foundation. The metal framework and concrete layers twisted, snapped, and ground against each other with every passing moment, unable to bear the stress being caused by the rapid movements of their attacks. Glass windows cracked and shattered, or fell out of their frames entirely. A loud rumbling could be heard as the upper floors of the building began collapsing into themselves.<br/><br/>The building was coming down, and it was coming down hard and fast.
