At first, nothing happened as Drake and Johnny circled each-other. The Marauder eventually made the first move, switchblade flashing through the air. He was fast, faster than Drake, who only just managed to deflect the blow with his truncheon. Johnny swiped again and again, displaying a remarkable accuracy.
Drake realised that his opponent was heavily reliant on his knife. Maybe too reliant, if he could get the knife away from the Marauder, Drake could easily finish the fight before either of them got seriously hurt.

Rather than press his advantage, Drake waited for his opponent to retrieve his weapon and stand up. Instead, Johnny flung a handful of dirt into Drake’s face, blinding and disorienting him…
