Gene saw what was going on scant few seconds before it happened. With the shifting of his opponents weapon he realized that he'd been had. However a good theif always knows how to get out of trouble. Luckily that happened to be Gene's specialty. As the wires wrapped around the blade of Gene's naginata he pressed the button on the middle section once again. As Silver pulled up he would find that the blade he had wrapped the wires around had rapidly retracted back into the staff much like a sliding or telescoping knife.

Sparks flew as the blade slide against the wires and withdrew it self just in the nick of time. Gene tried swithcing up his strategy and this time went for a low strike at Silver's knee trying to press his attack quickly. However there was a slight delay to the attack. While Gene barely managed to avoid being disarmed Silver did manage to force his weapon up some. Thus he had to reposition his grip in order to get off a proper attack. It was a small thing but for a thief it could be crucial. Gene was hoping that his quick recovery and avoidance of being disarmed caught Silver off guard.
