Patuq was surprised at Kiken's immediate rush back to attack. Although on the outside he seemed frustrated by Kiken's constant close range assaults, Patuq was actually somewhat enjoying himself and the intensity of the battle, forcing him to focus more than he had in quite some time. The airbender's initial flinch back from the jet cutters had given Patuq just enough time to begin condensing a mass of water over both hands.

Patuq was able to dodge Kiken's air punches to his head rather quickly by shifting his head left and right, although the third punch did graze his left ear slightly. The stab towards his heart seemed initially like it would hit its mark directly. However, at the last second, Patuq shifted himself backwards and used the water from his left hand and bent it around the edge of Kiken's air blade into a shield and froze it to catch the sword and hold it in place inches before it punctured his chest. With the sword stuck place in and knowing it would most likely take a moment for Kiken either to release the sword or move with it, Patuq went for another attack. With the water around in his right hand, Patuq formed two more jet cutters, larger than the previous ones, and fire them at Kiken's arms in hopes of either ripping them off or at least severly injure them.
