Raw, mindless fury was helpful. It didn't make it any easier to strike with an intention of knocking her out for her own sake. No, she couldn't immediately go on the offense, but rather had to stay on the defense. However, it was helpful for avoiding the blow. One of the trees nearby didn't fare so well, but Neo managed to make her way back in a fast sommersault while her partner came in from the side to swipe with her umbrella, intent on blocking the blow before jumping back.

For the moment, she was trying to keep Anna busy, each of her two clones lunging in just long enough to give the other a chance to get away. It was a constant back and forth that she hoped was winding her a little bit. However, she had a bad feeling this wasn't going to be an easy little battle attrition, not with that hideous shriek coming from her crazed friend.
