[b]The nice thing about Damien's daggers was the slit in between the double blades... He called the section the disarmament canyon. Extending the daggers, the two blades caught the thin katana blade in between the slits as per design, as he twisted it so get katana struck him sideways... And while it did hit... It was at the wrong angle to do damage.[/b] [i]"I'll teach you something, Sunshine... There's always a bigger, simpler trick out there... If you haven't thought of it... Someone else has. In a place like this... It's always up to you to reinvent your combat skills."[/i] [b]Damien kept his daggers in place, keeping the blade angle off so he could stay safe... She had will, she had fire, and she had the prowess... Now she just needed to know how to use it.[/b]

[spoiler]Apologies for the extremely late reply. Busy week.[/spoiler] [i]The girl's eyes widened at the move Damien had pulled off, although she almost immediately reacted after he had finished speaking. Her right leg suddenly reared back, while Ella tightened her grip on the carbon katana's handle as she then proceeded to aim her knee towards Damien's stomach. The intent of the attack was to try and knock him back to where she was able to both stun him and retrieve her weapon.[/i]

[b]Damien let the blow come, slamming into his stomach. His armor unfortunately absorbed most of the blow, but he left himself open for her anyways... Contingencies aside... He wasn't going to spend his days plowing through people because he had some really strong devices.[/b]

[i]This time, Ella aimed another kick towards Damien, except towards his chest and with much more force than before. It was also considerably quicker, although one could still dodge the attack. Ella herself didn't seem to be tiring, but she didn't want to swing at Damien and hurt him, even when within a simulation.[/i]

[b]Again the kick collided but the armor seemed to move with the force to dampen the blow... On top of it... He seemed to be wearing layers.[/b] [i]"Impressive feet... Let's see if we can shake them off..."[/i] [b]As soon as the rattling in his chest piece stopped, he took a large backstep, three intricate barrels raising up from his left arm. Then, the sound of a small pin turning and then the uncoiling noise of a steel cable rushing out, a grapple claw on the end, rushing towards her left ankle.[/b]

[i]Ella wasn't used to devices and such in combat, so when the grappling hook was fired at her ankle by Damien, she only widened her eyes as it found itself embedded within flesh. [/i] [i]Ella yelled out with pain, reeling over and staring at the hook embedded within her rather unarmored knee. It hadn't sunk in too far, but it still hurt like hell to her. Grasping it with her left hand, Ella tried tearing the hook out, even though this was causing more pain than before.[/i]
