Before Karma knew it he was being attacked. He'd been stunned momentarily by a sudden shriek from the clone as it collapsed in pain. Then, as quickly as it had happened, the clone fired off an energy wave toward him from the Muramasa. Karma reacted only out of pure instinct, raising his sword to meet the wave that would have surely sliced right through him. His blade intercepted the energy projectile and negated the attack, cutting it in half and sending both new waves off to either side of him and destroying the surrounding machines and computers. His Infinite Light Blade rang out and began to glow, eager to fight back against this new opponent.<br/><br/>Karma noticed the clone flinging himself towards his position and waited. Though it was only a short distance, he was sure that he had more than enough time to defend himself. All he needed was for the clone to get a little closer. Karma then suddenly sprung into action, becoming a blur of motion. He rolled forward and slightly to his right, allowing the clone to miss whatever attack he had planned next. Then, without hesitating, he spun back around to face him, swinging his blade with his left in a wide, back-handed arc. He was aiming for the clone's abdomen, hoping to end the fight quickly and incapacitate his foe. He gritted his teeth as he waited for his counter-attack to hit.
