"Heeheeheehee," Alonne snickered behind her mask, "so the cat finally decided to come out of its bag huh?" The masked woman's actions seemed quite deliberate, almost like a child poking an animal with a stick or even a predator playing with its food.

Edwin witnessed the stand-off before him while loading the canister into the chamber of his weapon."I'll need some time to charge this thing up," he thought to himself, ''"hopefully Miss Rockbell will be able to hold her own, but..." ''He could not muster up an answer to his suspicions nor did he have the time to do so, explosives are always a frighteningly finicky way of fighting and he would need every second to ensure his and Maroon's safety before firing.

With the battle now between the two women, the situation seemed more heated than before. Alonne twirled her glaive around playfully around her body, manipulating it in various ways to show her mastery over her weapon. Maroon on the other hand had begun to release her hidden weapon from the concrete floor. With a firm pull, she dislodged it and the flimsy rag covering it fluttered away with the wind leaving a sleak monstrosity of a weapon. It was a simply, one-edge sword with a length that matched Maroon's height. While mainly black in colour, the edge was a reflective silver which showed dedicated and precise craftsmanship. Furthermore, its lengthy handle suggested it as a weapon of pure control and ruthlessness.

Maroon held the blade with an ice-pick grip with the cutting edge of the sword facing horizontally upwards. It was a relatively light blade for its size and no doubt had some sort of reinforcments to endure high energy impacts without damage.

Suddenly, Maroon flashed a devilish grin and with little warning she tore a Red Dust cannister off of her vest before charging straight at Alonne.

"And what do you think you're doing?" Alonne chirped without moving an inch. Seconds later Maroon launched the cannister cruising towards her. "A grenade? Are you serious?" she mocked Maroon before splitting the cannister in half before it reached her spilling the contents into the surrounding air. Maroon's grin turned into a manic smile as her plan of attacked fell into place. She reached with her left hand into the Dust cloud as quickly as she could before it could dissipait and snapped her fingers, generating a spark. In an instant, the whole clould combusted into a glorious ball of fire and energy knocking Alonne several feet back in other to dodge it.

"Real neat, kitty! Show me more." the woman bantered.

"Ugh, don't you ever SHUT THE FUCK UP?!" Maroon howled bwfore continuing her attack. As the ball continued to combust and with her hand still in it but protected by her glove, Maroon used her Semblance again, this time, to reduce and absorb the energy of the explosion. Over seconds, the ball disappeared and Maroon bounced back towards her target. Before their confrontation, she ran her left hand over her blade painting the energy of the explosion back into her sword making to glow a fiery blue.

A single uppcut swing was all it took as Alonne defended herself with her glaive but as soon as contact was made, the explosion reignited from the point of contact sending the blade of Alonne's glaive right off its pole.

"Now! Do it now!" Maroon yelled.
