(S9/Ant) Antoinette pushes hard against the Dwarf, raising her sword just in time as his Zweihander comes down on her. She underestimates its speed and almost doesn't block it in time, stopping it just above her head. They lock, forcing her to inaction for a precious half-second as she sees Rebecca.

With grunt she forces her way to a sideways leap, deflecting the Zweihander. She tilts midair, hitting the ground in a roll. Coming out of it, she leaps up and throws her shield with a shout of exertion, and it whistles as it cuts the air.

It intercepts the lightning bolt, and both disappear in a burst of energy.

The crowd erupts and leaps to its feet. Lucida scrambles upright, fighting her way past Sun-Mi's boobs. "Papa! Papa, did you see that?!"

Thomas struggles under the pile that consists of his daughters as he tries to get back up.

The shield reforms on Antoinette's arm, almost not in time. The Zweihander catches her shield on the backswing, sending her sprawling and rolling across the ground. Instinctively she rolls again, the massive sword crashing down where she once was, catching her main wing. She gives a yelp of pleasure as it passes straight through. For a split second, she gives in to the sensation.

(I c-can't let my Lord see me lose myself, not before he has me...)

She grits her teeth and does a kip-up, readying herself to charge back in.
