Vanessa was greeted by a scythe-wielding female member of the Rebels, a scythe far too huge and heavy for her own good. Another greeting followed soon after, in the form of a swipe to the legs. Thankfully, the Rebel's speech gave Vanessa enough time to brace herself for possible attacks and she barely managed to sidestep away from the scythe. She parried the following attack and slashed her sword in a horizontal motion, sending a wave of fire forward, scorching a few Rebels in the face. Unfortunately, the one with the scythe managed to dodge her attack by leaping backwards, but Vanessa could tell that she was visibly exhausted by merely swinging her scythe. 

"Stand down now little girl, we can end this quick, one way or another." said Vanessa in a commanding tone towards the girl. She would much rather spare a young life, but if she were to force her hand, Vanessa would make certain that her next strike be precise.
