[h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2]

Smoothly, in the blink of an eye, Youmu had drawn Roukanken. There was the harsh sound of each blade meeting the other, and a sudden shower of sparks. Her opponent seemed adept with the blade as well... so, quite simply, she would have to surpass him! For the moment, both of her hands were in the hilt of her exceptionally long sword, the blade of Roukanken exceeding her own height. She may have been quite a small girl, but the fact that she was wielding a sword that was longer then she was tall was still a rather unusual sight. Narrowing her blue eyes, the small, pale girl slide Roukanken along the length of the man's sword and suddenly twitched her wrist, forcing the weapon to the side! Invoking danmaku rules on her blade, she immediately stepped to his right and unleashed a rapid flurry of thrusts!

[h2]Abigail Williams[/h2]

Ah... her defense was working! She still didn't understand why she was being attacked, but Abigail knew that this person was hurting people, and that was enough for her. She had to do everything she could to stop them, but that meant waiting until she had an opening. She could afford to do that, as far as the small girl was able to tell. The strange, pale woman's attacks simply weren't capable of cutting through the barrier of glowing tendrils that she created. If there was even a brief pause between her strikes, the little blonde girl felt confident that she could counterattack in that instant!

Until the woman stabbed herself.

In a moment of horror, Abigail's jaw dropped. Why... why had she done that? What reason could she possibly have had to do that to herself? it didn't make any sense to the Foreigner-Class Servant, and she couldn't even bring herself to attack when it appeared that her enemy had committed suicide.

At least, until the swords suddenly blazed with blood and fire when they were torn from her body. Surprised, Abby attempted to step back in shock, but that wasn't enough. The swords were now slicing through the tentacles she had summoned easily! Only a few more blows would sever them completely...

She had to... she had to stop that! Abigail couldn't let the enemy break through and attack!

"I... I..."

She took a deep breath... and suddenly let the tentacles part.

"Stay away!"

Crying out her somewhat panicked battle-cry, a brilliant glowing beam erupted seemingly from the center of her forehead, tearing towards the pale woman!
