As soon as JJ had finished his attack, unsuccessful or otherwise, he shoved JT away. This propelled the two men just far enough way for JJ to actually see the incoming attack, and catch it with Despair. The two blades clashed, energy against energy. However, any brilliant light that would be created in any other battle was simply drowned out by Despair's aura. JJ then delivered a surge of strength, pushing Hullbreaker away, and pushing the two men even farther apart. When JJ had floated out of range, he threw Despair into a nearby asteroid as it landed blade-first. However, JJ did not teleport. Instead, he retrieved the bow he carried and usually attacked with before R&D appeared. He pulled out what remaining arrows he had after Hullpiercer hit his quiver after being stabbed. He pulled out a normal arrow, and a black aura similar to Despair's formed around it. JJ notched the arrow, and fired for JT's chest. He then quickly notched another, and then shot for JT's neck.
