[i]The sword and dagger combo, while interesting, was not what he was currently busy with... in fact, it seemed as if the real Amanda had lost the man's attention entirely and utterly, his brain racing as he... well, got ganked. He had never quite stopped, however, though he certainly did when he heard the clone jump at him. He stopped himself in his tracks by activating the ferromagnetic soles of his boots with a mental command, his energy thrusters giving a quick boost to keep him from falling over. A blink later, his soles deactivated as he turned around in an instant, energy-saber raised, the tip pointed at the leaping hardlight fake. It had happened in a mere second, the man going from full sprinting to dead stop in the blink of an eye. First, his back faced the clone, then so suddenly, she was about to impale herself on Jason's discount lightsaber, the real Amanda still a good seven meters away from them both. In the time it would take for her to do something with that sword of hers, the clone would've already been impaled, really. Unless she could move in the middle of the air when the plasmatic tub of the blade was only inches away from her solar plexus.[/i]
