"You might not have revealed all your abilities yet, little cat... but if you save them up for too long it's going to be too late. I on the other hand... I'm going to finish this. Now." She did not fly anymore as the advantage of being out of Amber's range was effectively voided by her ability to use her sword as a rifle. What a tricky, annoying opponent... ah, but she‘d defeat her yet. She had taken on much worse opponents with her Pokemon team, and now their powers were in her hands. On the other hand, Amber had gotten her good… the bullet in her shoulder was hurting like hell, and the stabs in her stomach only slightly less so. She needed to take care of that bullet first. “Ghh…!” She groaned as she reached her right hand – the unoccupied one – over her shoulder and surrounded herself with her psychic aura once more.
Amber slowed her steps and kept Razorback at the ready but still drew closer to Sabrina. Then suddenly, her instincts and reflexes prompted her to raise the massive blade and defend herself with the flat side when Sabrina sent something small flying at her. “That’s my bullet!” She exclaimed when she noticed the bloodied metal piece that bounced off her blade and fell to the ground – the bullet that had been lodged into Sabrina’s shoulder moments ago, before the Psychic had pulled it out with her Telekinesis anyway. She gave her a pained grin and raised more bricks from the ground that she began to bombard Amber with, though it only really slowed her advance. She could see the bricks coming, and easily deflected them with Razorback in sword mode. Plus, Sabrina only had one hand she could use with her left one still being on her cheek and her concentration was nowhere near as good as it had been at the start of the battle. The multiple injuries and prolonged concentration to use her various abilities were mentally straining her.
But on the good side, she had seen enough: Amber might have more abilities, but Sabrina had made out the bulk of it, or so she believed. Especially the sword-rifle… copying its mechanism might be difficult but she had gotten the rough picture. The other things were not quite as useful to her. It was time to end it. Amber was only two steps out of reach from striking her with her sword, but Sabrina was counting on that. She ripped another two bricks out of the pavement behind her opponent and flung them at her back. Amber was likely aware of it, but she was within reach to attack her – and a straight up trade was favoring her.
“Got you!” The cat-girl then shouted and brought Razorback around in a broad swing aimed to slice Sabrina in half at around stomach height, just as the two bricks hit her back, one got her left shoulder and the other got her kidney, on the right. While her blade kept going, the hit in her kidney made her fall forward like a sack of potatoes, caught in the momentum of her sword. And Sabrina took that moment to bring out her last trump card: she had turned her hand to face the palm at the incoming sword and used her Barrier to create a glass-like wall that redirected the blade upwards diagonally, allowing her to dodge under it although the barrier shattered from the impact and she nearly toppled over herself. What she had not taken into account was that because Amber was falling forward and she had ducked, their heads were coming to equal height, and sure enough...
BUNK!
... their foreheads were knocked against each other, Sabrina stumbled backwards from the hit and Amber needed to let go of Razorback to avoid its momentum slamming it into her opposite-sided shoulder, whilst she landed face-down on the pavement. She was a fighter however, and a cheap shot wasn’t enough to keep her down. Sabrina herself barely had any time to recover before the catgirl was back on her feet, Razorback in hand and hissing at her before she took a stab at her opponent, which Sabrina dodged by moving backwards, just out of its reach.
“I hit your kidney, if we keep fighting now you’re going to risk losing it. Shall we just call it a draw for today?” She asked, semi joking. She would be happy to end it, but she doubted that Amber was going to.
“What’s the matter… getting cold feet?” Amber asked, sure enough. Then she pressed her left hand on her right hip where her injury was, and used her Aura Projection to create miniature shields around the spots where the internal bleeding was, forcing the blood back. “We’re only just getting started.”
Sabrina squinted her eyes and didn’t reply, nor attack. Instead she observed, trying to make out what Amber was doing with her projection. She could make out the shields forming on her skin, but she didn’t understand what she was doing. As a result, she gave Amber ample time to “dam” the internal bleeding temporarily, leaving injuries that would do for the duration of a fight, though they would need tending to later. Then Amber raised Razorback and switched its configuration to Rifle mode, aiming it at Sabrina who in turn raised her hand, with a new Shadow Ball shaping between her fingers. They both were injured and exhausted. It would be over soon, one way or another.
