For as quick as Juno was, Hyperborea was that much quicker. Any joy that the senshi had over landing on her knees, and not in a more prone position was quickly dashed as the other girl quickly recovered and grasped her wrists. It only took a moment her the knight's foot to settle against her stomach and suddenly Juno was flying again. Her fall and hit against the ground was not nearly so graceful as Hyperborea.
Groaning a little, in pain and annoyance, Juno hopped up to her feet once more, finally grasping the fact that she had no other choice. She didn't have time to recover versus this opponent - nor time to really think or strategize (not that she did very often). But luckily, Hyperborea had given her the gift of distance.
In close range combat Juno rarely ever had the advantage. But at a distance she could really shine, and she'd take advantage of the gift given to her.
Lowering her shoulder Juno charged, seemingly intent on plowing into the tiny knight. However when she neared Juno rolled forward, her hands pressing against the ground in a handspring that sent her flying feet first at Hyperborea.

Iris_virus let me know if I need to change anything in my summary of the fight
Hyperborea realized the ploy too late as the senshi girl's handspring into a double drop kick connected with Hyperborea's chest. The young squire was sent flying back against the trunk of a tree.
Now this time Hyperborea got the breath knocked out of her. She wanted to call time out and catch her breath but she knew that wasn't an option. She got her breath back as quickly as she could giving herself no time for recovery. Clearly giving Juno distance was a mistake.
The fight continued on for several minutes with the two trading blows. For every punch, kick, or throw Hyperborea managed to land Juno was able to retaliate with some impressive acrobatic attack.
Hyperborea had managed to bust open her lip and she knew she had a good number of bruises forming on her body but at the moment she didn't care this woman was an amazing sparring partner. While she loved sparring with Penthe and Chaonis, because the both of them were significantly stronger and faster than her it was never a truly close fight. But this girl was basically her equal.
Eventually though the fight had to end and Hyperborea was determined to claim victory. Her opportunity arrived when she was able to get close enough behind Juno to use a choke hold on her. Hyperborea managed to get one arm around her throat and locked her leg on the inside of the girl's leg. She purposely threw them off balance so that the two them would collapse to ground. She wrapped her other leg around Juno's stomach and put pressure on her. Her free arm then grabbed Juno's free leg effectively neutralizing any method of retaliation from the super senshi. She had trapped her in a one-hand strangle, she put pressure on the girl's throat. "Tap, I've won. There's no point in me choking you out." Hyperborea said between labored breaths.

Had Juno been asked ahead of time whether she thought Hyperborea was a worthy opponent she would have likely said no. Between her tiny size, youth, and the fact that she seemed easily flustered and accomodating Juno could hardly have guessed what the knight would have in store for her in battle. She had underestimated Hyperborea completely and utterly, and by the time she realized it it was far too late.
The battle was fierce, the girls exchanging blows back and forth. For awhile it seemed even enough, neither gaining too much of an advantage as they littered each other with hits that would likely leave bruises and aches for days afterwards. And the further they went the more excitable the Amazonian senshi seemed to get, it truely was a worthwhile and amazing fight after all.
Hyperborea was impressive - fast, tough, and calculating. She excelled in forethought and strategy, something that Juno had always failed in, and it was only a matter of time before it came to bite her in the a**.
The squire had managed to avoid an attempted kick from Juno, and used her sudden position behind Juno to latch her body to the taller warrior. In a moment there was pressure against her throat, followed quickly by pressure at her stomach and then knees. Surprise and the strange pull from so many directions was enough to knock her to the ground.
The fall and Hyperborea's leg on her stomach expelled the air from her lungs. The arm pressed firmly against her throat preventing her from sucking any air in to replace it. And Juno acted as she usually did, more like a wounded animal then a calculating warrior, thrashing as much as she could. Which wasn't much as Hyperborea's arm held firmly onto her leg, and her body weight kept Juno practically pinned.
The knights words were heard, but Juno did not heed them immediately, trying relentlessly despite her lack of success to free herself. It wasn't until it felt like her lungs were going to burst, black spots beginning to swim before her eyes that her struggling finally ceased, hands falling limp. Defeated. She wasn't sure what hurt more, her chest or her ego.
There was only one bright side - at least this had just been a friendly fight. Aurelius Ambrosius Nope, looks good to me! Juno's a bit to proud for an immediate tap though. XD

Iris_virus I think we can start bringing this to a wrap
Once the woman went limp Hyperborea immediately released her. She checked to make sure she was breathing ok before moving her over to softer ground to recover.
Hyperborea ran off. She knew of a convenience store relatively close, especially when running at squire speed. Transforming back into ciel she entered the store. She did get some strange looks from cashire, which wasn't surprising since a 14 year old girl (who looks even younger) looking like she'd just been mugged walked into his store. However when she told him he could keep the change on $100 bill he wasn't inclined to ask questions. She bought two purple gator-aids and a bottle of water just in case juno didn't drink gator-aid.
She transformed back into Hyperborea once outside the store and raced back to Juno. She saw that the senshi was back awake by the time she returned.
"Here." She said tossing a gator-aid her way. "I also have a water if you'd prefer that."
"That fight was amazing, You almost had me. You have to teach me that fighting style of yours its so cool! Cest incroyable!" She said as she unscrewed the lid of her drink.

One moment she was fighting and the next... she was just laying there on the ground, her sparring partner gone.
Juno's made a face of confusion, but as her throat sent a shooting of aching pain she was quick to piece together what had happened. Her and Hyperborea had been fighting... and the knight had had her locked in a nasty headlock. She must have passed out. Which meant... she lost?
The senshi growled, stopping almost immediately when the pain rattled through her already tender throat. So instead she simply lay, feeling the coolness of the condensation beginning to form on the grass, her eyes gazing towards the stars.
Juno was a pretty terrible sport in that she hated losing. Absolutely hated it. It was perhaps best that Hyperborea had left, as Juno found it unlikely she could have dealt with any taunting or proud bolstering from the winner of the match. And Hyperborea had been amazing, it was hard for Juno not to admire the moves of the other girl and think about them. Lounging for another moment, she finally pushed herself up, sitting as she waited for her head to stop spinning.
A voice caught her attention and she turned just in time to catch the drink tossed towards her, her eyes narrowing once more in confusion. The knight had left and returned? Why? Her confusion only grew as the other girl began complimenting her.
"Why would you want to know mine when you are winner?" She asked finally, laughing a little bit as she unscrewed the lid of her drink and took a long sip, letting the coolness sooth her throat. "You are plenty tough and fierce." It was about as much as Juno could vocally muster in compliment at the moment, ego still awfully sore. Yet she wasn't trying to immediately run away either.Aurelius Ambrosius Oops, I had meant for her to tap out right before she blacked out. But I'm perfectly cool with her not and actually passing out, it's pretty IC either way. XD *fluffs Hype - didn't mean to traumatize her if I did*

Iris_virus Sorry I misunderstood sweatdrop , she is alread a broken baby this isn't enough to break her more XD. do you want to wrap on the next tag.
"You know my Pépé used to tell me 'C'est le ton qui fait la chanson.' It means: it's not what you do it's how you do it." She said as took another drink. "Yeah I won but it wasn't like I steam rolled you. You put me through the paces." She said gesturing to the bruises and cut lip. "Not that many people can do that with out the benefit of being a eternal, knight, or general."
"And to be fair as a squire I am naturally stronger and faster than a super Senshi. If you were also a knight...well who knows." She said with a shrug. "I'm tough, whose's the girl who choose to be choked out rather than give up. I would have tapped if I had been in your position." She said with a laugh.
"So what do you say I could teach you some judo and you could teach me some of your gymnastics fighting. The best way to get better is to branch out and learn new styles, if we do that the Negaverse won't be able to touch us." The next part was the more awkward part for Hyperborea. "If you're interested maybe we could make this like a regular thing meeting up to spar and train. You were really fun to fight." She held out her hand for the other girl.

The electrolytes in the drink were probably doing her good, but at the moment Juno was only focused on the pleasant feeling of the cool liquid on her sore throat. She had a sudden wish that the magical pocket of the universe that housed her phone when it wasn't in use were refrigerated, so that she could keep drinks there to pull out when necessary, because it certainly was nice after an exhausting fight.
Hyperborea was trying to make her feel better, instead of rubbing in her victory. Which was strange - but not at all unpleasant. In fact it kept the senshi lounged in her position instead of trying to immediately pick another fight or run off.
In the end it still felt slightly patronizing however, that someone so young would insist that she was stronger and that Juno should just feel proud or lucky that she was able to stand up to her for as long as she did.
It only stoked the fire of desire for a rematch at some point, something that was offered before she could mention it herself. Not only future sparring, but the offer to teach her some of whatever magic Hyperborea had used to beat her? The Amazon's hand extended, taking the knight's before giving her a firm couple of shakes. "Yeah okay. We can meet and spar again sometime."
It was after all pretty nice to meet another strong ally, one that she's hoped from her comment was actually aggressive towards their enemies and didn't just sit around chatting with them. Maybe there finally were a few battle worthy knights and senshi roaming the streets - it was about time. Maybe something would actually get done now about the Negaverse and Dark Mirrors.
Shifting to stand, emptying the rest of her drink in one large swig, she stretched her aching muscles. "Send me note sometime when you are ready and we will meet again."
"Tchau Hyperborea." Juno waved a hand up over her shoulder as she departed, headed back towards her home, her thoughts wandering over the other girl's words. Learn new styles and skills? That didn't sound like bad advice at all. Aurelius Ambrosius Not your fault at all! I am terribly vague sometimes and can totally see how you read it that way. heart Fin! Thanks for the rp!
