En Garde!
The ref shouts

The strip lights up with

Footsteps

chasing after each other

Sword points

To the chest

Deflect

hit the wrist?

Attack from behind, 

Always maintain right of way

Then the score is 4 to 4. 
The crowd screams in your ear

You lunge

Attack

Parry Forward

and 

Bloody hell

You missed.

The beep from the opponent's blade is mortifying

You salute

Beat blades

And turn back your teams disappointed faces

Bite your lip

Nails cut into your arm

And know you're the reason they failed
