Jade stumbled to her feet, taking deep breaths. "Yeah. Yeah... I'll try that" she said, unsheathing the saber he gave her earlier. Once again, Jade entered her accelerated state and ran towards the warden, aiming to take his head off in one clean sweep. And in that moment she went to strike, Jade discovered that swinging your arm at super-speed, and swinging a metal stick in a wide arc at super-speed were two very different things. Wind resistance quickly took over and slowed Jade's swing down just enough that her opponent was able to see it, and therefore duck it, sending Jade tumbling tumbling behind. "[color=39b54a]DAMMIT![/color]" she shouted, getting back up to try again, but this time she tried altering the timing of her swing, hoping to fool the marine. Sadly, it didn't work and he managed to block, hard. Jade noticed a split appearing in her saber and jumped back to give herself some room '[color=39b54a]If this keeps up, I won't even have a sword to fight with... unless... maybe[/color]' She thought, looking at the blade '[color=39b54a]What the hell?[/color]'. She charged the man again, but this time, she held her blade straight, using it like a javelin as opposed to a sword. Sure enough, it worked, and the metal found it's mark being driven deep into his abdominals. Of course, this led to another problem... Jade couldn't stop going forward, nor could she retract the sword fast enough, causing the rest of it to shatter, leaving her with a poor little stump. "Oh, crap".
