This time Zex just straight up punched Justice in the face. Which was more than enough to stun him.

Justice reeled, curling in for a bit. That did a hec a lot more than a stun, his head rang and he felt it vibrate in his bones. But he forced himself past the pain and tried again to fake attack Zex, reaching his front paws out but again without claws.

He super kicked his chest. Accidently a bit...too hard.

Well that really did it, busting both Justice's air out and sorta busting a rib or two. He dropped back and curled up tightly, gasping after a moment. He couldn't force past this pain, it was around the wrong area of the chest. Thick boned, hec yeah, but the furry's front in their family lines just so happened to be the most risky area of exposure.

Zex froze then ran to him. " Justice! "

Justice clutched the hit area through his fur, eyes shut tight. "I-I'm fine!" He said, gritting his teeth a bit and trying to push himself up with one arm but through the pain, he barely could.

" No, your not. Lets go back before you get seriously hurt. "

He shook his head, left ear twitching. But after a moment his upper half fell limp to the ground again, asthma kicking in and not helping. At all. "Fine..."

He picked him up. " No your not. "

Justice didn't fight, mostly because he couldn't, and was slightly shaking as his breathing became worringly uneasy. "...Zex....you can..." He rasped.
