*His hands and arms are bleeding sluggishly from scratches, and a lucky hit catches him in the side unawares. He breaths out sharply, and more of his weight on the doppelganger turns into dead weight. Normally this would be enough, but all L is looking for is escape, not victory. A second strike catches him near his neck, and the back of L's head rams into his nose, and he's realizing that if he doesn't end this soon, he might be knocked aside just long enough to have to start all of this over again.*
