Lana grinned and drew her sword, saying so quietly she was almost whispering, "I look death in the eye and say, 'you can have me if you can catch me first'."
She took note of the glowing eye, silently cursing her impending battle with yet another magic user, it seemed. No matter, though, she just had to make sure she was quicker than him. She got onto the balls of her feet, ready to move the moment he attacked. She studied his body structure carefully, writing herself a mental map of his body and where she needed to hit to get him down.

*He started by flying into the sky then swooping down to her swinging his blade at her head.*

Lana raised her eyebrows as she watched Angelus rise high into the sky.
'Greeaatt...he can fly, too.'
Lana made no other motion except for a twirl of her sword in her right hand. The blade, being long and heavy as it was, drooped low to the ground, but ready to strike. She waited patiently for Angelus with an unblinking eye. As he sped towards her, she stopped, watched, and waited for the precise moment where she swung her own sword up to meet his, blade to blade.
She gripped her sword tightly, and her face hardened slightly as she dug her feet into the ground to keep from being bowled over when he flew into her--she knew he was going to come fast at her, but not that fast.
After bouncing the blades, she took the few lulled seconds and dove to the ground, rolling off and around the side of him and as she leaped up to her feet, she swung her sword upwards at his backside.

She blocked it!? Great, this might be harder then I had hoped.
*Angelus rolled out of the way from her sword which almost hit him.*
Angelus: Your strong, but I have been picked to wipe you people off the map! And I won't fail! *He rushed forward slashing down at her.*

"Oh hooo, I get it now. You're one of those little 'heroes', right? Look, buddy. I don't have anything against you or any of your other creepy friends from Earth, but I do have a duty to fulfill--that duty at the moment is to stop you from tresspassing on private grounds--" as Angelus' sword came down at her, she lunged to the side and tried to do a flip using her left arm to hold and push the weight of her body. She failed as her weakened arm gave way and she fell sharply to the ground; a hiss in pain, and she rolled quickly again to the side in case he was following close behind her.
"Who in the hell do you think you are, anyway?" Lana saw him come again and she brought her blade back up to block.

"COME ON ANGELUS!!! BEAT HER!!" Trucido yelled. He watched the battle from above. He rooted on for Angelus like this was a game to him.

Angelus: My name is Mark Angelus Fri, and I will be your death Surmata! *He yelled pushing their blades away.* Man this is boring, I wonder if Pizza Hut delivers out here...? *He joked holding his giant sword with one hand pointing it at her.*

"You...fool...your little friend 'Angelus' will never defeat Sumata. He is having difficulty merely battling me, a Captain. Imagine him up against one of the Sumata 13, or even The Boss..." Lana hesitated slightly as she really didn't want to refer to Trucido as a "fool," even if she was acting.
"'Mark Angelus Fri', I don't fear you. You won't be the death of me as death itself will be the death of me..." She said to Angelus as she rolled her eyes at his comment. She didn't understand what Pizza Hut was, nor why he was concerned with it delivering whatever it had, but this was no time to discuss it. She lunged at him and tried to fake a hit with her sword so when he brought his own to block it, she swung her leg up and kicked at the hand that he used to hold his sword tightly.

Angelus: I was just surprised the someone who is hurt could fight this good, I was not afraid of losing. *He closed his eyes as wind started to gather around him, then the wind picked him up from the ground, the blades of the fallen soldiers started to go around him. He waved his hand and all those blade including himself went launching at her.*

"Wow" Trucido looked at that attack "That is a nice attack!"

Again with the magic, and Lana was no good with magic. Inside her mind was racing with thoughts, hoping something would come to her mind to get herself out of this mess.
The darkness was her only escape, the only answer that came to her head. She wasn't going to run away, nor was she going to turn her back on him. Watching the swords surrounding him, she sheathed her sword and took a large step backward--there was a hall darker than night that she could disappear to only steps behind her. About the time that he launched the swords and himself toward her, she used the capacity of all of the speed in her legs to throw herself backwards into what could have been a dark abyss, trying to take advantage of its emptiness to find her way around the other end of the hall in a matter of seconds. Her plan would be to show up behind him, unscathed, and proving that she didn't need fancy magic tricks to fight, she just needed her territory and some well thought out strategy.
It worked, except for where some of the blades almost seemed to know where she was going. As she emerged from the dark, a steady line of blood slipped down from her shoulder and over her chest. She bit her lip at the pain but readied her sword again.

*He turned to her and smirked.*
Angelus: Interesting move, but you will die this time. *He raised his hand.* Death! *A Reaper came out of no where, holding a scythe right above her then swung down at her.*

Lana watched as the Reaper appeared before her, and though it threatened to take her life, she showed no sign of panic.
'Heh...jerk...' was the only thought that came to her head, and she stared straight on at it, almost like she dared it to strike her. As the Reaper raised its scythe, memories of a young red-headed girl came to her--the red-headed girl who used to pick flower bouquets with her mother while they waited for her father to come home; the same red-headed girl who sat crying alone in the streets, lost and searching for her family who ultimately abandoned her; the girl that was taken in by the loyals of Nerezza and began training to become part of the army; that girl that was brutally beaten until she was able to find a way to physically put a stop to it, and better anyone who dared to try to hurt her again; the girl who became the red-headed adult woman who challenged and destroyed the Sumata Captain of Nerezza, taking the position herself...
Who became the burnt-out woman standing here at this moment, staring Death in the eye. She did an odd thing, then.
She smiled.

*Angelus looked at her confused, although the Reaper didn't wait like Angelus did, it swung down at her. Angelus's eyes widened almost regretting doing what he did.*

There was a clang of swords. Trucido had stop Angelus from killing Lana. "Hold on. You are going to kill her? Like that? No, She wants that. Do not grant her that wish. Instead..." Trucido said as he turned and pulled out a dagger and stabbed her in the arm. "This has a poison, it does not kill the person but it is very painful and has a paralyzing ingredient but she be able to move in a day."
