He wriggles around in Strange's paws for a second, then looks back up at him. "Yeah, I can do this!" His body disappears from underneath Strange as he teleports himself behind him, across the arena. As soon as he reappears, the fake Nightwings all fly together and turn into a large dark orb. Nightwing directs this orb over to Strange and smothers his head with it. Since it is only an illusion, he doesn't feel it and he can still breathe, but he is now surrounded by darkness - he cannot see anything, and Nightwing's scent is all around him. Nightwing smiles to himself and quietly starts flying again, almost ready to put his plans into the final phase.
