The incoming shadow ball was unavoidable now. But when Blade was standing before as Zorro fought with Damon and Loki, he was actually preparing another Doom Desire attack, which happened to activate right on time and cushion the blow. The two attacks collided long enough for Blade to move out of the direct way, still getting hit by part of the attack. Blade cursed under his breath, but wasn't seriously injured.

Loki grinned, "Yes sir."
Blade lay there silently resting. You haven't escaped me yet, Deserters.
