As his opponent brought the large sword up into position, stepped forward and began his swing, Xukhezur ducked forward and to his left, almost dropping to a knee. As the First Tsurugi was brought to bear, he raised the short sword in his left hand to bear and push against it, in an attempt to divert the trajectory of the large weapon enough to let it pass over his head. Meanwhile, Xukhezur brought the katana in his right hand about in an attempt to strike at his opponent's closest leg.

Xukhezur knew his weapons could be used to generate psychokinetic missiles identical to those produced when his martial arts strikes were used tandem with the necklace he wore under his protomorphic jump suit, each of which would behave as though he had actually thrown the corresponding weapon in and of itself. However, he wasn't looking to risk killing his opponent outright, only to perhaps cripple him severely enough that it would bring the fight to a definitive end. Though, not to be cruel or ungrateful for his opponent's participation, Xukhezur was prepared to utilize his means of healing others and making them whole again, should it prove necessary.
