Metal slices and tears, claws rend and rake. The cyberblades move too quickly to be avoided. Tikki doesn’t try. The elf has the advantage of speed; Tikki has power. She uses her paws like mallets, then rams the elf into a wall and drives her down to the floor. The belly blade stabs again. Tikki staggers back, wounded in a dozen places, and then the elf staggers up onto her feet.
