Without hesitation the Arbiter kicks off the ground, surging towards you and spinning on his approach. His blades flash, you raising your blade up defensively while raising your left hand up overhead, judging his distance as he approaches. Then, at the rate he's moving you know when he'll be in the right spot, swinging your hammer down. But, to your surprise, he suddenly stops! Throwing both arms aside he stops his now seeming controlled spin completely, your hammer blow going to swing through empty air and leave you wide open.
“Tch!” you seethe through gritted teeth, seeing your opening with his arms wide and surge forward. Thrusting with the end of the Gravity Hammer, the flat of the striking surface slamming into his chest.
“Guoh!” he wheezes, caught completely by surprise with your sudden change in attack and is knocked backwards. As if by instinct he raises both weapons up into a cross, protecting his head and upper body from any follow-up attack. But he doesn't guard low, you diving in and swinging with an overhead sword chop. He raises both weapons, catching the attack but leaving his lower body wide open. Which you take advantage of, swinging the hammer into his exposed right side. The weapon activates, the shock wave exploding out from the hammer head and sending Khor 'Vadam flying. “Kuuaah!”
“Come on, is this the best you can do?” you call, blasting back towards him once again. He flips backwards, reorienting on you before dashing forward once again to meet your charge head-on.
“HAAAAA!” he shouts, flipping forward a full circle and swinging both blades down at full power. Raising your sword once more, you block both blades with your own, stopping his powerful charge. Once again he's left wide open, you thrusting the end of the hammer into his chest to knock him back away from you, following up with a thrust from your sword. Again he raises both weapons, crossing them and deflecting the point aside, narrowly avoiding the edge and point of your magical greatsword. But as he moves outside your right thrust, you see him draw his right blade back, aiming to thrust the weapon at your head. With no time to bring your sword back up, or spin around to bring your hammer to bear you have no other option, ducking. The blade whistles faintly as it passes harmlessly overhead, twisting your body counterclockwise and swinging the hammer around in a powerful backhanded strike.
