January '09. I couldn't resist the Pokemon reference.

Swords Dance (c) ... whoever owns Pokemon

The blades hit, again and again and again, each time with a metallic "clang".
Neither of the sword-users showed any evidence of backing down, though already covered with cuts and blood, only some being their own. Raising their swords, they engaged in combat again.

"NOW! USE SWORDS DANCE!!"

The two turned, bewildered by the sudden cry.
One looked at the other, the surprise still clear on their face. "... Did she just...?"

The other slapped their forehead. "... Yes. She just made a Pokemon reference."
