>Sanaside: We may not be able to do Za Warudo, but we can at least do Za Region to move quickly to her left and give her a pokin' in the armpit.
>Tranceside: Go high! Occupy that sword in her right hand.
>Janaside: Axe up them knees, she don't need 'em no more.

You use your time magic to quickly close the space between yourself and your enemy. Aiming your lance at her left armpit, you thrust outwards... But something has deflected your blow! She must have moved her left arm to parry, but looking now, it seems as if it hasn't moved at all.
> :V You jump into a quick flying dash at the false rurouni, and bring your sword down on her right side. Ruro, for all her fakeness, seems to have little trouble parrying your strike, and even knocks you off-balance. It seems she's trying to knock you into the cloud of petals behind her (and on your left).
> :3 While Not!Ruro is occupied with the attacks on her sides, you rush her head-on! taking a wide swing of your axe at her legs, you feel a whoosh of air as she jumps over your axe. She seems to be hovering for a little while, giving you a bit of time to recover from the slow swing.
>petalsord: the big girl... HASS the stabbings
>The fake Ruro suddenly swings her left arm outside of the cloud of petals. Whatever she just slung at Jana seems to have hurt badly, and Jana was too slow to avoid the hit! She falls forward, bleeding from three wounds between her shoulders. Whatever caused those wounds isn't visible.
>
Only you seem to have been able to perceive what your enemy just did. When she swung her arms, there were some thin blades in her hand, between her fingers.
