Flood quickly threw his gun in the air and pulled out his Katana. He began blocking and redirecting her strikes. There were a few close calls but otherwise no direct hits. He pushed away from her on her final strike then grabbed his gun out of the air and holstered it. Flood smiled and motioned the universal bring it on sign with his free hand before rushing her with a series of random slashes and stabs that seemingly had no pattern. If observed closely enough though it would be noticed that every 4th attack was a diagonal slash.

Kijani fell into dodging, her body acting on sheer reflex. Flood wasn't the only one who could improvise. She twisted and darted and dodged, and eventually found the rhythm in the dance. One she could exploit. She waited for her opening to come around again, before she leapt the diagonal strike in a burst of agility, dropping inside Flood's guard and slamming the book she was holding upward into his face. The book was already weighty, but added to Kijani's will it carried the force of a half ton. She made sure to angle the strike in such a way that if it connected, it would shove the cartilage of Flood's nose upward into his brain. This was supposed to be a true fight, and she wasn't going to play nice.
