Reaching its opponent, the samurai icon loomed over the intruder. The katana swept up above the armored head and poised briefly before flashing down. The sword sliced through the outline clown but failed to connect with the inner chrome shape as the Jiro icon threw itself to the side. The wireframe outer Image vanished with a pop. The samurai took another step forward, twisting its body around to convert the momentum of its swing into another strike. The blow caught the Jiro icon as it tried to stand, staggering it backward. The chrome surface of the Jiro icon blackened where the sword had touched.
