Deimos darted forward and began to pummel Okra with her fists. Okra took one in the gut, and gasped for breath.
"Nice...one…but it's not happening again..."
Okra dashed to Deimos's side, turning as he came up behind her. With a shout he planted his foot into her side. Deimos half-turned and her back absorbed most of the blow, but it still hurt. She was forced back slightly. She then jumped up and glared. She ran at him and fists flew. He dodged easily but missed her foot coming towards him. Okra looked down just in time and started to move. The kick, aimed at his vulnerables, instead hit the side of his hip. He was knocked backwards, his feet sliding out from under him on the slippery floor. Deimos lunged towards Okra and lashed out with her foot again. He saw it coming and grabbed it in mid-kick. He quickly twisted her foot and she flipped over and landed hard on her stomach. Okra looked down at the girl before running up the wall. Kicking off of it, he held both feet downward to land on her back. Deimos saw him coming and rolled quickly out of the way. His feet just grazed her body. Okra crouched as he landed heavily on his feet. Looking to his left, he struck out with his foot at the still rolling girl. Deimos gagged slightly as the foot hit a rib. The momentum helped her roll up though. She staggered up and glared daggers of pure, blind hatred at him. She charged again, though more slowly than before, and struck at him with her fists. Okra, still crouching, ran up the wall and jumped behind Deimos again. Whipping around, he shoved his elbow towards the back of her neck. Deimos was shot forward and she slammed into the wall. She spun around, gasping for breath, but kept coming. Her ki was keeping her from feeling most of the pain. Okra smirked as he looked down at the smaller girl.
"You're a little slow. Maybe you should give up before I pound you into the dirt?"
Deimos's eyes burned with mindless hate.
"You seem to be a bit scared. Maybe you should try to fight with your fists like a real man." she challenged.
Okra cocked an eyebrow as he regarded her.
"Heh. Scared, am I? I'm simply playing on my advantages. You should be the scared one, you haven't completely dodged a single attack of mine."
Deimos spat.
"I'm not afraid of the pain." she sneered. "Though it is obvious that you are."
She stopped a few feet away from him and then spat into his eye. Okra's eyelids snapped shut just in time, preventing the spittle from hitting the eye itself. He ran a finger over his eye and wiped of the spittle. He flicked most of it to the ground, and then stepped forward and wiped the rest of it on Deimos's shirt.
"Well, you want to see me strike with my fists?" Okra asked "Well, let's see how you like this."
Okra's hands blurred as he unleashed a flurry of punches at the girl. Deimos curled protectively and most of the blows fell harmlessly about her. She lashed out once or twice and hit him as he hit her. The taller boy's attack was defeated by a well place punch from Deimos. She took advantage of his surprise and began to pummel him savagely. O stumbled back, catching a fist to the face and another one in the stomach. He leapt backwards before he could take anymore hits. His eye twitched.
"You're powerful...but you haven't seen nothing yet!!!!!" |
