NiGHTS grew confident as she saw Saïx stumble and flew in for another Paraloop. However, she hadn't expected that swing so soon, and she gave a strangled cry as his sword swept across her gut, reeling in midair as she attempted to retreat and regain her bearings. That hurt - it had been awhile since she'd actually run into someone who used a sword.

The creature gasped and shuddered, but managed to regain herself long enough to shift into a rocket (yes, really) and dashed towards Saïx in an attempt to knock him off balance. SHe did, of course, have something else in mind.
