Ricky transformation is happening real quick. The moment Jada's sword arrived, Ricky right hand is already turned into diamond and block the sword.
TANG!
Jada take some step backs as she find her blades unable to deal any damage in Ricky's skin. She put all her attention on Ricky movement and ready to react anytime.
Meanwhile Ricky just remains on his spot. He looks like he is ready to fight and believe that nothing can hurt him when his superpower activated.
Unfortunately, it just a front show from Ricky. Ricky right hand is actually feeling numbs from taking Jada's sword head on. If someone really pay attention to it, they can see Ricky hands trembling in pain.
"Don't blame me if i kill you Jada.
I already consider you my friend, but Sinclair has saved my life and i will not let him down! "
