Amber was just getting warmed up. She hadn't expected any of her recent swings to connect with Sabrina, yet. They moved across the Nexus, the faunus chased down her prey. Sabrina was elusive to her with her ability to fly, but she was slow. Soon, her opponent was going to get close enough to do some damage to her. More attacks came from Sabrina's hand. This was likely a fodder move to build up something bigger. Though it would be best to not let this dark ball of power come into contact with her. It may have some kind of lingering effect that could potentially ruin her chances of winning this fight. Caution would be Amber's best approach; caution and aggression.
Sabrina's comment of her Semblance set her caution to a higher priority: Sabrina was analyzing her abilities and attacks. What did she even want, or gain, from that? An advantage about knowing her movements? No. This was something bigger, and Amber didn't want any part of it. "You should worry more about how you're going to not die than how my powers work, Psychic." Sabrina was keeping her away with her Shadow Ball attacks, which slowed Amber down. Even though her Aura Projection helped her move quickly and jump high, Amber still couldn't get close enough. What do I do dammit? Grimm don't use magic like that, and I'm not used to fighting humans. Especially, when their only tactic is running away and attacking from a distance. Jeez this is frustrating me, but keep your cool cat. Anger will only blind me. She needed to switch things up, and quickly before her psychic opponent got a it in first.
Sabrina was just about 20 feet away from Amber now. If she could just get a little closer, her head would roll. Finally, a stroke of genius hit Amber upside the head like a paddle. She swung Razorback over head and into it's holster. With this, she could maneuver more quickly. Just like she thought, she was closing in much faster now, 20 feet slowly edged to five. Amber could see the worry in Sabrina's eyes as she saw the faunus's fist reach out to her.
THWACK!!
Sabrina was flung by the pure force, and landed with a thud on the snow white floor of the Nexus. Amber wasn't going to let up on Sabrina now. Again, she drew Razorback as she ran towards her opponent trying to close the gap again. Using rifle mode would be a bad idea right now, so that will have to wait. An overhead swing came down above Sabrina, who was quite lucky she had the reaction speed to roll out of the way. She was also quite lucky that the ground of the Nexus was engulfing her sword; it was stuck. Amber tugged to get it out, but not before Sabrina charged another Shadow Ball. Unsure of how this move might affect her, Amber reacted with her Semblance. A barrier of pink color formed in front of Amber's forearm, like a shield, and absorbed the blow. Sabrina's eyes could only widen in amazement: What sort of power was this? How did it work? How did Amber do such a thing?
"What manner of power do you call that?" Sabrina asked, not expecting an answer. However, she did get her answer. "This is my Semblance, Aura Projection. It allowed me to absorb your attack." Amber didn't care for the big details on how her Semblance worked, and she wasn't going to explain it to a stranger like Sabrina. Once again the brawling commenced. Now Amber was close, and she was going to keep it that way. Razorback searched for flesh as it's blade carved through the air with nearly keen precision. It was obvious that Sabrina had a talent for running and dodging effectively. If only Amber could land an attack with her Zweihander, that would be enough to slow her down, if not kill her.
Sabrina was now thinking of a way to get back at Amber for the bruise she left on the left side of her chin. It ached in pain and bothered her. Amber was smarter than Sabrina may have suspected, but she was smarter. She flew up out of reach to avoid any more close calls of that blade meeting her skin. As expected, Amber jumped again to strike, but Sabrina was ready this time. With a quick spin to the side Sabrina dodged Razorback, and Amber retreated due to the force of gravity. Now! A shadow ball formed in Sabrina's hand and came down on Amber's shoulder. "Agh!" She yelled as pain flowed through her body like water through a hose. The attack didn't seem to have an after-effect like she'd thought, but the force was matched with a well placed punch. The Psychic slowly floated back to the ground before the constant suspension in the air wore her out to much and rested. "One for one then," the faunus said standing ready with Razorback pointed at her opponent. "Let us see who will get the second first then!" Sabrina replied to her with another shadow ball already forming in her hand. Amber closed in, but Sabrina again tried to keep distance. So far, this fight was a stalemate. Someone had to break it soon.

Quote:Amber used - Super Jump, Razorback(Zwei-mode), and Aura Projection.
She took a hit from one of Sabrina's Shadow Balls, but it didn't seem to hurt her as bad as she thought.
Sabrina used - Shadow Ball, and Flight.
She took a heavy punch to the chin and was flung pretty far as a result.
