"And can military secrets be divulged, you traitor?" he shouted. "Hand over the sword, now!"
"As you wish."
Noor threw the sword toward the lieutenant, who was taken by surprise. He leaped backward, avoiding the sword, then skillfully turned, grabbed its hilt in mid-air, and turned to Noor, only to find him standing in his place. He charged at him and stabbed him with a wide, deep wound, but he felt as if he were stabbing the air. Suddenly, he found himself stepping on a round metal object. This object quickly lit up and produced a steel net that caught and tied him up. Then Noor appeared from between the trees.
"You've fallen into my photonic copy's trap," he said. "You should be more careful next time, Lieutenant."
"You are assaulting a lieutenant in the greatest empire in the universe!" the lieutenant shouted in anger. "Do you know the consequences of this?"
