Several things happen at once.<br/><br/>Terry manages to sever Nova's arm that was holding onto his arm. His gun blasts a hole in Nova's other shoulder. Terry's arm then explodes with the force of one of Nova's glass bombs, likely sending him sailing back a good fifteen feet. Fortunately, before he hits the ground, Star grabs him, and uses him as a counter balance for a high jump kick, sending the metal man sprawling, before setting Terry down again, disoriented but not hurt, aside from the explosion.
