[The flesh that Morph was expecting to rend simply isn't there. Their claws instead hit something solid, but ghostly, a figure in a pose like it's willingly taking the pain that Morph's trying to dish out. Their eyes widen in the few seconds that it takes to realize what's going on, right before Scott's optic blast nails them in the chest.
The force of it sends them flying across the street. They slam into the wooden boards covering a second story window, then fall to the pavement, hitting it with a sound that's more of a splat then a thud. Try as they might, Morph can't hold onto the gnosia form any longer - they're looking distinctly melted now as they struggle to push themself up on the extra arms that are slowly retreating into their body, their form shrinking back down, the faux outfit and scary features shifting away slowly but steadily. The power was gone, leaving Morph over-exerted and hurting from the damage of the fight.]
I can't... not like this...! [Despite the state they're in, Morph is trying to stand again, the urge to kill overwhelming their instinct to survive - though they're having trouble just getting up onto their knees.]
