The two Clevelands could only stare with wide eyes at each other. None of the two knew how to react so they just stared at each other with heavy breathing. Analysing whatever the other did, they stood ready to attack.

"Who are you?" Repeated Cleveland again. Her clone simply directed her guns at her. "As if I tell you that you siren."

Cleveland twisted her scythe, looking ready to attack. "Then I will beat that out of you." The other girl just adjusted her aim. "Then come and try it."

Shooting her armaments Cleveland released her main guns force but the siren evaded them by attacking with her scythe. Using the chance to launch an attack Cleveland swung and sent an energy blade the other Cleveland didn't expect. She raised her arms but only managed to barely block it and was sent into the wall but she quickly jumped out of that one. She ran at Cleveland guns blazing and engaged the siren in a fistfight.

Cleveland blocked the initial shots by just crossing her arms. The other Cleveland got close but hit the siren's arm with barely enough force to push the siren. Cleveland let out her tentacles that grabbed her clone, which surprised her a lot, and restrained her mid air for a second before delivering a hard punch into the ship's chest, sending her across the room with a loud boom.

"So you finally reveal your rigging siren, looks like an Observer one." Concluded the panting ship. "Yet you lack the guns, that's good." She picked herself up before rightening her guns again. She felt wobbly on her legs but didn't let her enemy see that. " Damn you are stronger than the usual siren. Didn't we kill all of you high ranking ones?" She held her chest, which hurt a bit.

"You came damn close to killing all of us." Said Cleveland and readied her scythe. "And I am indeed stronger than the usual siren. So I ask again, who are you?"

"Is your head broken clone? You know damn well who I am." Said the other Cleveland. She shot and Cleveland sidestepped the shells. "Why won't you just die like the rest of you?"

Cleveland looked and began laughing. "I know that you are a clone. Also I am sorry but dying isn't on my Santaprise list."

"You know Santaprise?" Gasped the shipgirl, surprised. It was originally an eagle union legend so the ship had no idea why the siren knew about it.

"Why do you look so shocked, everyone in the Eagle Union knows of her. The Enterprise of Christmas that brings out presents to us-." The siren said but had to block fired shells from the other Cleveland.

"Don't you dare to say that you are one of us!" Screamed the shipgirl as she jumped at the siren. Cleveland had no time to react and was hit in the chest but barely moved. Continuing the shipgirl shot her point blank before throwing several fists. Cleveland did the best to dodge but the guns at this range, while not penetrating her skin, still hurt like a baseball bat. But she had one advantage once she managed to slam her scythe into the ground and disbalance the shipgirl.

Using the moment she threw fist after fist. The two might share the same fighting style and could anticipate how an attack was coming and block them but the siren did possess a lot more physical strength then the shipgirl so she continued pushing the ship back.

Given that Cleveland had more experience in close quarter combat from using her scythe and having more limbs at her disposal, something the other Cleveland definitely lacked, the winner of this skirmish was clear. Strike after strike hit the shipgirl and injured her greatly before the siren succeeded in kicking the ship on her back. Diving onto her she pushed her scythe against the ship's throat and pushed her down. Her tentacles restrained the ship's rigging and body so she could only struggle but ultimately do nothing against the siren's strength.
