[Ash]

It was time to end this.. The neon blades began to spin around, as they did the colors changed, gold and other's silver while the tempo of his phantom music picked up and a horn could be heard. Looking like ninja stars that spun in the air the lanky man pockets his hands in his dancing pants. She had given him a run for his money, but she had no wear to go.  He watched her unlatch the blade on her thigh and spin it in her fingers before catching Devi's Quill in her hand as if she was ready to fight him face to face.  Good, he didn't like this chasing game he lowered his chin as he mentally commanded the weaker blades to attack.

As expected she dodged in a flavorful flip, backwards onto the wall where briefly she hung there. As she looked up with those colorless eyes a line opened up on her cheek before dark blue blood oozed down the side of her face. Her hand was already up when the other blade came towards her, it blocked the gold neon blade, its light and the sparks of the two weapons meeting brightened her face so he could see the eager smirk she wore. She was not afraid of him.

Ash knocked the neon blade into the wall with her's before she launched her light body through the air and towards him. After chasing her for so long this left the DJ somewhat surprised, but he re-summoned the blades she'd destroyed against the wall an brought them to guard against her speedy attack. The crossed like scissors and threatened to cut the blade in half.  More importantly it stopped her in mid-air, leaving her without a platform to save her from a 30-foot drop. As gravity began to pull her down she used it in her advantage, instead of falling to her doom she used her caught blade as a pivot point and swung under them. Momentum carried her up high enough that when she came down she landed on the cube as her dagger clattered against the tile. "You never answered me." She addressed the wager but he still didn't respond.

He reached out to simply push her off, and succeeded. Only she didn't fall, instead she caught his hand. Not to drag him with her but to pull herself up. Seconds later she'd forced his arms around her in a common romantic dance way. Apparently she was paying attention to the song as well. He could appreciate that, but this was a fight. He followed her lead and flung her out of his arms in another easily accomplished move. She dangled delicately on the corner of his cube but was persistent. Well then, why not have some fun?  As a man who can literally carry a tune around with him, he had moves to impress. His feet were as fast as the beat. Holding his hand she mimicked him as best she could in her less than dapper dance shoes, combat boots weren't for dancing. Still she managed.

Both parties, however, weren't exactly done fighting, while Ian distracted her with his fancy foot-work he positioned his blades in the air around them while she came up with a much faster way to end this. In her hand, electricity crackled. It was like pulling the trigger on the starting gun, as soon as he realized she was attacking he sent the blades crashing down while trying to lead her into the attacks with their twirling dance. She was none-the-wiser and most of them hit, the first one making her drop Shocking Grasp. The dark blood from her wounds left splatter marks on his polished brass cube but she continued to follow his lead even as she felt the pain radiate through her.

He lifted her hand over her head for a classic spin, and she followed; spinning twice before their hands met again. Where he was going to push, she pulled, and swooped between his legs. As she did she let go to slide off the cube. Ever the master of falling though she managed to land on the tallest statue that was near him, grabbing whatever hold she could as fast as she could, then the Storm Demon turned and launched her Devil's Claw at the man, the spear head aiming to pierce through his chest.

((Changed some minor details because Ian didn't like my song.))

Ash used her usual strategy but offensively instead of defensively after knocking back one of the two blades, she launched herself towards Ian. Ian guarded using two blades but found his cube a little crowded with the two of them. Trying to push her off he found himself dragged back into a dance. Ian was clever though, he sends the bladed to rain down on the Storm Demon and finally lands those hits he desperately wanted. 

Unhappy about loosing blood all over his cube, Ash escaped the dance of death and retaliated by launching Devi's Claw at the very fleshy Ian.

Red Devil's Claw 
Requires Range Prof
The Claw is unique but roughly a basic looking Grapple Hook. The arms, however, are sharpened like a blade on the outside, implying it can be used in other ways that just a means of movement. The type of metal is unknown, but it is crimson in color, and carries ruins are typical for resisting flames. This does nothing for the wielder, just the grapple. The 'rope' is also strange, in the fact that it is hair. Most likely from a human or humanoid. It's true length is unknown as it has been braided in some places. But Ash has access to 15 ft, if she so chooses to use all of it.
Ash has had this weapon for a long time, and knows it inside and out, allowing her to use it while moving around and is generally using it to do so.
-Modifications: Grapple Shot 
Ash paid a blacksmith to come up with creative way to allow her to shoot The Claw, and he came up with a system similar to a crossbow. Loading the hook into the firing mechanism that is attached to her arm with a heavy duty brace, Ash can then shoot the hook in any direction she can aim it. The rope remains free of the device upon launch, if ever the target's position exceeds the hair's length, Ash will have to give chance in whatever fashion it takes. Ash can use The Claw with this device, or on its own as a regular normal Grapple Hook.
-Modifications: High Power
The Claw shoots from the device on Ash's arm with the power and speed of a harpoon gun. Able to pierce a limb of a giant, without taking her own arm off. The 'rope' is in no way attached to her arm, but the recoil of firing the hook is very real.

In short, Ash is aiming to stab through you.
