KS29

Ciel chased after, preventing her from creating distance. She hacked and slashed in a wild flurry, focusing more on strength and unpredictable movements than skill. Neo had no trouble blocking each, but on the fifth strike she fell for the feint, moving to parry another hasty strike before Ciel let go of her sword entirely, leaving it hanging in the air as she swept low and spun, slamming her heel into the back of Neo's knee. The moment the girl fell she was on her, struggling to break the sword out of her grip.

Neo flipped the lower half of her body back, driving her knees into Ciel's back. The armour protected her a little, even if she felt the impacts. She slammed Neo's wrist against the rooftop until her fingers opened reflexively, dropping the weapon.

"Surrender," she demanded, activating her speakers so the girl could hear. "Give up now and I shall ensure your safety. You will be taken in for interro-" Ciel cut off as a leg wrapped around her neck from behind, Neo somehow bending almost double to manage it. She was dragged off when the girl straightened, putting incredible pressure on her throat. She fell back, hitting the tarmac, but caught Neo by the ankle when she tried to run.
