The way to Paradise was only several feet away from Jenova, and what stood between her, and her Promised Land, was Holy Knight Agrias. With a defiant look, the knight raised her sword up, and pointed the blade at the one who supposedly stood for evil.
"Hold there!" Agrias would call out, her amber eyes glowing a soft gold, " I propose a challenge, a play of swords if you will, before another step is taken toward such paradise!"
The blond woman took a fighting stance, "On Guard!"

This land felt comfortable to her. It called out to her, begging for her to come forward to the beautiful place it promised. Something called the promised land was right in front of Jenova. However, a person now blocked her way. It was someone she had never met before. "To have stopped me from such a place... Are you a gate keeper? Why? Why must you stop me? I have no need to fight." Her voice came out soft, almost unsure of what it meant to have a holy knight keeping her from her goal.

"Show me you are deserving!" The knight called out, her sword releasing an eerie blue aura as she charged forward!
"HEIIYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" she yelled loudly, raising her sword to striking position!

Jenova knew something was wrong if someone was in the way. For some reason, something inside her told her that this person was not a gate keeper. This person was just looking for a fight. Moving Masamune out of her sheath quickly, Jenova twirled out of the charge, aiming for the intruder's stomach.

-K-PANG~!- the metals of the word seem to spark at the brush of one another. Agrias had twirled out of the stomach hit to have the Murasame blade brush against the cloth of her vest, and she would keep it at a certain distance using her sword.
She moved past her, and prepared "Come now, Mi'Lady! Do not hold back on mine account!"her sword began to glow a bluish color, "Life is short…Bury! Steady Sword!"
Agrias slashed her word forward, and from it, decent sized icicles shot out toward the other woman, a blizzara-like attack, if you will.

Jenova's body naturally dodged a few, cutting into three of the icicles. Her hands had never left the hilt of Masamune. Pushing forward, she aimed again for Agrias' stomach. This was not the time to enjoy a sword fight for her. She was so close... Close enough to see the very land.

Agrias growled, slicing forward to deflect the lengthy blade, reaching forward to push the girl back, away from the gates to the promised land. She wanted to see how badly she wanted it!
She held her sword up, glancing back through the gates... seeing a glimpse of Ivalice-- the fallen city, who she still had to protect!
She looked toward Jenova, and charged forward, releasing a new attack, "Have power from the sky and strike!!" her sword glowed a gold aura, "LIGHTING STRIKE!"
Agrias sliced downward, and a bolt of electricity released from her blade, in striking distance of the other female.

A lightning attack, she noted, would not be easily dodged. She pulled her blade forward, letting it catch the lightning bolt at the end. Letting it reach the way up, she made her way towards the intruder again. When it had about an inch to go, she aimed towards the knight's shoulder with the lightning still attached.

Agrias backed away, looking at the lightning charged sword, 'damn!' she thought- if she would deflect it with her sword, it would cause massive damage, and even with her taking the attack, it would create similar damage, she had to be quick!
She continued to avoid as much as possible, trying to take the damage in slow quantities, panging her metal shoulder guards against them to drain the lightnings power before striking with her sword once again.
"Ah! Rather good with your blade!" The knight grinned, always liking a challenge, "Respectable qualities!"

The intruder kept talking, as if nothing was wrong with their current actions. She waited until the lightning charge left Masamune's blade. She jumped backwards, re sheathing the sword. When Agrias got close enough, she unsheathed Masamune enough to aim right to the shoulder with one hand. Her other hand soon came to the hilt.

Agrias did not understand this fighting style. When she saw Murasame being sheathed, she charged forward, only for it to be unsheathed at tremendous speeds! The blade was able to strike at her shoulder, but to the shoulder guards, "ACK!!" she cringed, a bit of the blade able to penetrate the metal there, causing a slight surface injury against her skin.
She backed away, and kept her ground, "Hrm! "

"Get away from that place, or I shall kill you to obtain it." Jenova spoke, her voice sharp. There was no doubt that she saw this as life and death.

"Nay! I cannot oblige such request!" She hissed, her eyes determined as she pointed her blade towards Jenova once more, "I cannot give such a place so easily!"
"Life is short!" She yelled out, her eyes gold and armor glowing a heavy blue along with her sword, "Bury! JUDGEMENT BLADE!"
Unlike before, the shards of ice were much bigger, and they came in waves towards Jenova when they were released from the sword.

Jenova's body moved up, jumping on each shard of ice that was flung towards her. When she had gotten close enough, she turned her body around enough to change the direction of the ice towards the caster.

"Using my own attacks against me..." Agrias grinned, this was what she expected, "The devil’s spirit of restlessness…Split Punch!"
She thrusted the blade forward, and a gust of air extended from the blade, and when she struck down, she hit each icicle blade, and launched it back towards Jenova, in smaller, randomly directed trails towards the target.
