Maelstrom managed to evade his opponent's pseudo-attack, by discorporating just a bit. He sent one more feeble attempt at holding his opponent back, but it barely reached him.
Meanwhile, out of nowhere, someone else was trying to join the fight. "Now it's a party!" He said, hoping that he'd get a chance to somehow subdue his other enemy before dealing with a new one.
