Hidden strength and strike resolution for allies

If an ally were to play a hidden strength so it would burn, will the strike of the ally be resolved? For example a reanimated corpse gets hit for one and uses its hand strike. Then during strike resolution a hidden strength for two blood is played by the corpse, will the hand strike for two be resolved or will the corpse just burn straight up first?

Hidden Strength
Type: Combat
Requires: Fortitude
Cost: X blood
[for] Prevent X+1 damage.
[FOR] As above, with an optional press.

Yes the strike will be resolved (assuming the opponent didn't strike with first strike) as damage prevention is after strike resolution.

Damage prevention is part of strike resolution ( Complete Rules Reference VI.C.2 ). However, damage inflicted must be handled (prevent or heal / avoid destruction).

So you burn the Reanimated Corpse, and the opponent has to deal with the 2 damage.
