[ That punch sent reverberations through the entire robot, which was already starting to tip like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Now it's tipped over into toppling, and Nico's first instinct is to hold on tighter and ride it down.
Then he realizes - the way it's twisting... he's about to be squished. The huge robot is casting a shadow much wider than Nico, though, so it's no trouble at all to reach into that darkness and just - poof.

The momentum doesn't stop when he shadow travels, and Nico trips on some spare parts and sits down hard on his tailbone. Remember when he was just helping the blond kid? Yeah. This is what happens. Every time. ]
