Counters Oni Lee with clones

Oni Lee disappeared from the rooftop across from me, but I already knew his pattern, and as he appeared behind me, one of my own formed from shadow and vapor and crushed him before he could move. As the ash fluttered and fell, one, two, six more formed around me, positioned like an honor guard or the Secret Service.

He reappeared back on the rooftop he’d just left, regarding me with what I might have called caution, in another person. In someone like him, it could just as easily — and far more likely — have been a predatory examination of my weaknesses.
