"Whoa!"
She'd succeeded, well somewhat, he would left her lift him up and over but add a little boost to the lift himself. The Bokken was released as he left the ground and as he was floating above her head he twisted. His arms shot out to support his landing both hands rested on her shoulders as he did this. Now as he came down he'd bend one knee bringing it to right side of her lower back hitting her hard with the momentum of his fall. After the initial hit he'd land on the ground having hit Silk that hard she had have been jerked froward from the force and maybe face first on the ground.
Maybe even her kidney would be hurting pretty bad who knew, this woman was full of surprises and Reinhart wasn't letting her play with him anymore. Unless it was in his favor.

She grunted, the first sign of real pain from her as she fell forward. But she recovered more quickly than should be possible, using her own momentum to roll a bit more to put some distance between then. She pulled up and swung around using one leg. Her shoulders ached from the weight he'd put on them and she knew she'd have a bruised back until she got some of that ointment she had at home. Why in the hell hadn't she thought to bring it. Because you thought it would just be a bunch of ignorant villagers. Stupidity girl. You know he taught you better than that.
She coughed, almost choking. This wasn't good. She needed just a little time to have her natural abilities to work for her. "So...am I ever going to find out your name?"

"Where are my manners?"
Taking his hand to his forehead he slapped himself lightly as if he'd done something wrong. Technically, he had. He'd asked a lady her name before giving her his own. Turning to face her he gave her a smirk and bowed with a bit of scarcasm, such a cliche.
"Call me Reinhart, darling."
With his head bowed he doubted she'd make a move, but with the formalities done with he looked back up to her straightning out.
"Shall we continue our little dance?"
The smirk turned to a grin.

That's as far as he got before she came hurtling towards him, mindless of her own injuries. The blade of the bokken struck out, adding it's 3 feet of length to her own arm length to close the distance and strike at his bowed head witha lash of fury and deadly intent.
"YOU ARE NOT REINHART!"

Needless ot say her sudden action caught Reinhart by surprise, it would cost him his life however, the sound of the few steps she took alerted him. With a quick jerk he twisted his body in a position that would lower his right shoulder and raise his left. Her Bokken would sing past his face and the upper part of his body which was now parallel to it. Following this motion he would thrust his body back to bring himself to a standing position and look at her for a moment.
What had she just said? He wasn't Reinhart? As the confusion threatened to take hold of him he took a couple of steps back rasing his arms to guard. Did she know him? There was familiarity in her yes, but he swore he'd never layed eyes on her till this night. However, knowing his screwed up memory he could be gravely mistaken.

Anger only begest violence. And violence only begets loss
"I aught to kill you where you stand for claiming to be man as great as Reinhart or his son. I know not which you claim to be." She threw her arms in a cross like manner, much as if she was going to come out with two blades in her hands, but instead it was several smoke boms which landed at Cris' feet in an explosion of fire and smoke. Before she faded from his sight, it would seem as if there were tears on her face.
Whether he would charge in or wait till the smoke cleared, she was gone. And the dream ended.

The Tree of Life stood, majestic and proud in it's enormity. The vast battles that had taken place amongst it's branches and within it's roots had left scores of scars and wounds in the bulky wood - but still it stood, beautiful in it's simplicity.
A few hundred feet above the ground, on a wide platform of thick oak, silence grew loud...
...Before a thunderclap announced the arrival of a bolt of lightening, the flash charring the wood and causing a small flame to spring to life - before a steel-capped boot stamped it out.
Tomorrow twisted his neck to the side, a loud crunch audible within the silence. Gone were his civilian clothes - he was dressed in Tribal battle-gear. Massive gauntlets of steel adorned his fists, the armour tapering off at the elbows to a sharp point, Tribal markings adorning the metal. His chest was bare, revealing the war-paint smeared on his scarred skin, and his hair was left loose, covering his painted face.
Held in his hands was a hammer. The head was huge, a square stone set on a wooden handle that seemed too small for the stone's size, yet bore the weight easily. A leather thong was looped around John's right wrist, and his knuckles cracked within his gauntlets as he tightened his grip on the weapon.
He knew how this played out. He'd been here before. Now all he had to do was wait...

A soft breeze carressed the burly Tribal's cheek carrying on it's back a trail of soft sparks and snow white feathers. As the breeze dropped the feathers and sparks slowly drifted onwards and downwards before coming to settle on a branch a little further down from Tomm's own and about 6 foot away. The sparks suddenly seemed to glow as though stoked by some force unseen and in a bright flash of light coupled with an explosion of feathers and sparks the Senshi appeared smiling as the feathers and sparks fell to the ground before melting away like snow.
Her long hair was tied into a tight braid to keep it out of her way with a metal band holding it together at the end. Her usual long flowing tunic had also disappeared, replaced by a Gi like tunic with strange slits in the fabric around her shoulder blades. Her chest was bound though not so tightly as to restrice movement or breathing. Shining gold arm plated adorned her lower arms, running from her elbow to her hand and attached by bands of energy. The plate itself had 3 long thin grooves running down it. The left arm plate had a strange runic symbol etched into it covering the left hand. Plates were also attached to her shin's, much like a footballer's shin pads. The plate ran down to cover the top of her foot and there were 4 grooves along this plate. The metal, whatever it was, was light and did not seem to restrict the Senshi at all.
Juunikyuu reached up and strecthed, arching her back before dropping her arms and rolling her shoulders, grinning up at the Tribal.
"Surprise..." she smiled.

"Ã… helvete." Tomorrow muttered to himself, frowning down to the girl before him. "I didn't expect you."
He sighed, lifting a gauntlet to scratch the back of his neck. "Well...what to do..." He muttered to himself. He had two choices - beat to pieces his lovely little Juuni, no matter what her form, or give up and walk away.
And although he didn't fancy the idea that he was about to fight the little girl he loved as a daughter...this woman before him wasn't her. But was. But wasn't.
He sighed. Life was too hard.
Leveling his hammer to point it to the girl, he growled to her - "Bah, you bring this upon yourself! Gå løs på!!" - before lifting the hammer high, the stone magically sparking as he drew it up above his head...

The grin on Juunikyuu's face widened, showing two pointed feline fangs. Shifting her weight she adopted a ready pose, weight evenly distributed between her feet which were a little way apart with one in front of the other. She shook her arms and in a strange move bought left hand up to bite down on her thumb nail, causing it to bleed slightly before clenching her fist lowering her hand to hip height whilst raising the other to shoulder height. The grooves on her plate shimmered slightly as she began to call on the energy's surrounding her.
"I wouldn't have had it any other way!"

"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! Tomorrow yelled out as he leveled his hammer, lifting it high, the power within the weapon surging - as he swung it down to smash into the platform they stood upon!! The wood buckled hard, the entire branch wobbling vicously as he lifted the hammer high once more, his boots spread apart to gain friction, holding him down upon the shaking platform as energy sparked from the weapon - before he suddenly leapt forward with the shaking of the platform, being launched towards Juuni without warning - before bringing the hammer down hard enough to shatter the thick oak beneath her feet.

There were definate benefits to having the neko-genes within her and this was one such time that Juunikyuu was incredibly glad of them. Her tail, which had been wrapped around her waist uncoiled itself and rew stiff behind her, offering her that extra support as she bent her knees slightly, alsmot hunkering down to the branch. As John luned forwards with his hammer held high Juunikyuu's eyes narrowed and surprising leapt forwards as if to meet him in mid-air. So long as she had gauged her jump just right she would in fact sail through the air beneath the mighty tribal, reaching her left hand out to grab his left leg, tucking her legs up and making herself into a tight ball in order to swing round so that her feet went from behind to in front of her before straightening out again with the intention of using her weight to propel herself forwards whilst bringing John's leg out from beneath him. The blood from her thumb would transfer onto John's leg and as his balance was lost she would let go to land a few feet further down the shaking tree branch.
And if that failed? Well she'd probably end up being stomped on but the blood would still be transferred and that was what she wanted.

((EDIT))
Tomorrow blinked, watching the neko-jin as it began to move.
His brain functioned differently from normal people's. Human in shape and form, it had one distinction - thanks to his electrical powers, he was able to process information fast, almost instantaneously. Not only was this unavoidable, it was needed - because he was so big, his body needed an agile mind to watch for danger, so he could move in time to avoid, attack, or meet head-on.
And it was the latter in which he did this.
His hammer was swinging down, this much was sure. But the neko was faster, slipping beneath him even as the wood shook. Slipping beneath him, he felt the brush of her thumb against his leg as she passed through them - almost.
Tomorrow was slow, this much was sure. But speed wasn't everything. If you had the right reflexes and a quick mind, all you needed to do was get close to your opponant - after that, nothing much mattered. The space was closed, so aggravated movement wasn't nessecary - especially in Tomorrow's case.
So when Juuni tried to slip between John's legs, she did - almost. Acting on reflex, John squeezed his thighs together as he felt her brush him with her thumb, crushing her torso between his legs, trapping her beneath him. Following through with the swing on the hammer, John then pulled his body forward - flipping him up and over himself to slam into the wood in a sitting position, squashing the neko-jin as if he'd sat on her, her legs dangling out from between his in a bizarre fashion.
If she was still alive after having a 600lb Tribal plant her through the wooden platform, she would see that the world was upside down - and was giving her a massive headache.

Juunikyuu made a strange strangled noise as Tomm's thighs crushed around her, feeling her ribs groan under the enormous pressure she was being put under. Without having much time to think Juunikyuu found herself pressed between the shuddering wooden platform and the Tribal as he sat down on her, crushing her spine and chest. A fleeting panic was soon pushed out of her mind by the urgent need to breath and she coughed hard, spitting up a little blood as she felt one of her ribs audiably crack, no doubt John would hear it too.
The blood that Juunikyuu had managed to transfer onto John's leg had began to spread itself out in a runic pattern and now it would start to shimmer softly, depending on the angle of his legs John might see it, her might not but as the blood seeped through onto his skin and began to spread across his scarred fles there would be very little he could do to get rid of it anyway.
Juunikyuu was starting to get dizzy through the lack of oxygen and in desperation she places both palms down on to the rough tree bark and tensed . John would begin to feel a slick and slimey sensation as the two scars on Juunikyuu's back began to bleed heavily before, with a surprising amount of force and an explosion of energy and silvered blood Juunikyuu's angleic wings expolded from their confines.
Juunikyuu hoped the force would be enough to dislodge the Tribal from his position and allow her to slip down the side of the branch and into the lower boughs of the tree, if not then with the amount of liquid energy she was secreting should lessen the Tribal's grip and give her the chance to slip away.

But it wasn't going to be that easy now. Tomorrow was all over her - literally - and she was at the disadvantage of not knowing what he was doing.
So as her little rune seeped through onto his skin, John grabbed the two little legs sticking out between his, the massive hands closing around her ankles beneath her feet as he reapplied the pressure being put on her by his legs - before her wings exploded out from her back...
...Launching them both up into the air!!
Spinning wildly, a hulking mass of muscle twisting through the air with a set of wings flailing around him, they both flew up - before gravity quickly took hold and sent them spiralling down towards the ground.
But there was no way John was letting go. He held on grimly, his grip on her ankles so tight they would crush her bones, his legs twisted around her making escape impossible.
His face was set as he twisted with Juuni, the explosion not fazing him. All he cared about was holding tight to Juuni as they both flew faster and faster towards the ground.
There was no way Juuni could fly away. Her body was lithe, light, and the wings were made so - attached to his weight, Juuni would fall like a rock - and unlike John, the fall would severely hurt her no matter how they landed. John travelled by leaping great distances - a fall from this height wouldn't even faze him.
So it was with a brutally calm demeanour that Tomorrow and Juuni span through the tree, branches tearing at their clothing, cutting and slashing at them - before they hit the ground with a massive boom, dirt and dust exploding out in all directions as they made a crater that would make a meteor proud.
