The light show that was Raye's transformation sequence managed to distract the guard enough for him to be surprised when the punch came. It connected and sent the man sailing across the alley into a pile of garbage bags. He's hurt, but alive. Thanks for pulling that punch.

Rakka coughed quietly, still doubled over in pain. She looked up blearily as the fight started, tears in her eyes. "Raye... be..."

One of the other men charged Raye, fist raised to hit her while she was still distracted and moving faster than a normal human should be able to move.
