A Rush Down

Ramlethal crossed her arms over one another, her fingers spreading out and bending. She then swung them away from each other, signaling her Great Swords to fly down to her opponent. The swords crackled with a bright green energy as they flew forward toward Noel, who had prepared herself for the attack. The former NOL lieutenant dodged the first sword, which crashed into the ground, sending brick debris all over the place. As for the second sword, Noel took a different approach to avoiding it, hoping over its tip as it went to impale her; this in turn allowed for Noel to land on top of the massive weapon and run up until she reached its handle. The blonde raised her pistols and pointed to where Ramlethal was floating, or at least where she had been.

Noel was taken aback to see Ramlethal missing, and before she even got a chance to begin looking around, the blonde was met with a swipe to the face from the Valentine's bandaged hand. Ramlethal followed up her attack with a kick, the instep of her non-bandaged foot connecting with Noel's face, allowing her to catch a glimpse of the text written on the white strap around her foot. "What is Right. When all that is-" was about as much as Noel could read before she was sent flying off the sword by the blow.

The clone landed butt first onto the hard brick ground, causing her to wince in pain, "Ow, my butt!" Noel groan, rubbing her part her backside that she felt the most pain in. Soon, Noel would notice a large shadow looming over her and looked up to see what it was. Of course, it was none other than Ramlethal preparing her next attack, having lifted both her swords and arms up and was ready to lower the them back down in Noel's directions.

The Nox Nyctores user quickly sprang into a crouched position, and as Ramlethal lowered her arm, she slid right at the same time the swords flew at her, narrowly avoiding the blades by going underneath them. While sliding, Noel aimed at Valentine, who moved out of the way. But, despite having moved away from where Noel was aiming, when the clone pressed down on the trigger of her Bolverk, an explosion started to form at Ramlethal's position mid-dodge. Once again, there was no projectile—just an explosion that started to form out of thin air. Ramlethal's eyes widened as she watched this happen, launching herself even further forward to avoid the explosion, avoiding the attack mostly successfully aside from a chuck of the right side of the cloak getting taken off from being caught in the attack.

Ramlethal landed on the ground in a crouching position before standing up to assess the damage she had taken, lifting the right side of her cloak closer to her face. Her cloak seemed to writhe slightly as a liquid with the same viscosity of blood pouring out of the hole formed in it. The platinum-blonde girl dropped her cloak back down and turned around to face her opponent, an annoyed expression present on her face as her sword returned to her sides.

Noel quickly recovered from her slide, returning to a combat stance before pointing her Nox Nytores back at Ramlethal. The Valentine would respond by raising her arms, but rather than sending a sword to attack, she instead formed a transparent green barrier in front of her, ready to block the oncoming attack.
