Lucky was shocked that Eric decided to deflect her hair fist with the sword. She wasn't sure why, but he seemed like the type to try to dodge instead. She was even more astounded when he decided to drop the sword and come in for a close strike. She watched his actions in slow-mo, her eyes darting between his approaching form and the sword he had laid on the ground. She knew she could survive most attacks, so she decided in that moment to use one an enhanced section of hair to lash out for the handle of the sword and bring it to herself. 

In the same instant as her hair twined around the sword handle, Eric's palm hit her stoutly in the gut. She winced in pain and the left side of her body also gained the distinctive circuitry patterns that her right side had in response to his attack. The section of hair that went to retrieve the sword came back quickly and placed the sword into her hands. She stood up straighter and her eyes flashed brightly. She raised her eyebrows at him.

[b][color=#53A893]"You might have dealt me a decent amount of pain. Come on now, don't hold back, Eric!"[/color][/b] She tossed the sword back to Eric so he could catch it and gave him a brief moment of respite before four hair-fists, smaller than the one before but enhanced just the same, came at him from all directions. The only way left would be away from her or to her, unless he managed to hack one or more of the hair-fists apart. She raised her arms in a guarding stance, anticipating him closing in.
