The blonde man rejected the orange-y-haired girl's offer of peaceful diplomacy. Something not unusual.

With a spread of his arms, Relius' robotic companion disappeared into thin air. Alex was now sure this guy was no pushover as he prepared himself for any tricks the blonde man had in his sleeve. It was also time for Alex to find out if he's still got it.

Relius ordered his blob ally to engage the girls as he himself went to deal with Alex and the guy next to him. Relius leapt forward for Alex's ally and from, seemingly, his cape came forth a large mechanical fist to deliver a vicious uppercut against him.

Alex was quick to react. Whatever happened to his ally, the Blacklight virus immediately grabbed hold of Relius.

Should Alex be lucky (i.e. successful), he would, almost effortlessly, hurl Relius some distance away. He would then follow up with an attack from the air, his curled up fists ready to smash Relius into paste.
