He allowed the sabre to cut across the hard coat covering his chest as he smiled. A genuine happy smile, not out of cockiness or sarcasm; enjoyment of the fight. Halfway through Jackson's slash he turns his blade to himself and stabs through his own stomach, impaling himself. Waves of extremely hot flame radiated off of the man as AJ felt heat rising up by the nanosecond... With another flare, two great wings of pure blue flame erupted from his back. He then brought his sword forth quickly from his own stomach, pommel smashing Jackson in the solar plexus with his katana whilst grabbing his sabre hand with his free arm. He then formed an ashen dagger from the blood coming out of the wound Jackson caused and stabbed it into the elbow of the hand reaching behind. They were once again in a CQC deadlock, but it seemed that the stranger had the upper hand this time.
