[i]Hardlight and some kind of plasma edge. Overcoat won't do anything against the likes of those. [/i] Lucien twirls to the side and shoulder charges into the blow whilst ducking, his wide-brim hat being caught by the shadowy blade from Lance's mouth. He allows the Dragon Blade to cut a bit into his chest before twisting once more and letting the sword skitter off his ceramic pauldron. The white katana was parried away just enough by Lucien's flaming sword to take a slice out of his back but ultimately just cut through the whirling leather of Lucien's coat. In a flash of two motions, Lucien's gas mask is on - and a nanosecond after - three shots are fired point-blank into Ronin's stomach, armour piercing .45 colt rounds. It seemed that his reflexes and perception became quite formidable upon putting on the mask. His armour shoulder then rams upwards into Ronin's solar plexus - it wouldn't do much even if he was armoured, but it would drive him back. He was too close for any of Ronin's blades to be of effective range.
