"Aw, that's no fun. How about a little game?"

*Instead of rushing straight at the swordsman, Yakaiyo turns tail and runs behind the nearest tree. She couldn't afford to take a slash; unlike a thrust to the gut, it could destroy her entire chest, or pop off a limb. Something she couldn't quite handle yet.*

"I'm not here to play games, murderer." The aura around his blade grew stronger. "You've had your chance to surrender."
He turned his head and muttered something to the mage. The latter gave a nod in response and channeled his aura further. The cyan color shifted into a crimson one. He pushed his hands together as the energy erupted ablaze. It seemed like a fireball in preparation, visibly and audibly. The mage held his action, waiting for an opportunity to strike as he stepped a bit closer.
The general got close enough to the tree. After that, an unknown source of energy unleashed from his boot as it propelled his next step forth with impressive speed. He stepped to the right side of the tree as to peek behind it. In the meantime, he had raised his sword above his right shoulder, the one revealed to the other side of the trunk. It was already pointed towards his target area of attack and was prepared for a thrusting motion. He speared the blade forth with an attempt to pierce whoever hid behind, the aura in the edge bursting in white smoke to empower his strike.

*The armored warrior would find that the treton was not where he thought it would; instead, she was nearly above him. Yakaiyo had waited, clinging against the side of the tree. Her left shin would push away the sword thrust, and she drops her entire weight onto her elbow, slamming it into the elf's head. The force may have caused massive impact in Yakaiyo's arm, but she didn't care. It's not like she would feel it.*

"DIE, WRETCHED SCUM!"
