It was strange the fact that someone had been so dizzy yet could easily avoid such fast attacks, afterall seeing multiple targets would putt doubt as to which direction the real hit was coming from, meaning it would be easy to dodge the wrong image annd even move in to a shot. Kuma shrugged it off as his foot was grabbed, noticing the shift in Foust's body Kuma pushed up with his foot, lifting him into the air as Foust's foot came across, he used it liike a stepping stone with his free foot, pushing up from it again to lift him a little higher, he was now above Foust, his foot still gripped. Letting gravity do it's works he slammed his free foot down on Fousts hand to force him into releasing it. As he dropped to the ground he slammed his open palm into Foust's face, following it through putting a great downward motion force upon Foust.
This would atleast knock him downward if not slam him into the ground with his head cracking off of it. Kuma wasn't aimingg for big injuries but had a full intention of testing Foust in the most random of fight styles, this would definately give him less of a worry when fighting a hollow with no real thought behind their technique, simply going for a win. Kuma didn't even care for a win hhowever, he was just in it for the fun.

Seeing the owner of the foot Foust held jump and attack with the free foot was predictable. Then again, he had few choices to make at the time. The kick had just missed, so bringing it down was an order. Still holding Kuma's foot and having both feet on the ground, Foust watched as the man in the air tried to strike his hand. Before the foot could make contact with the hand that held the other foot, Foust yanked the leg towards him. Pulling it in, he jammed his free hand into the back of the knee, applying more force as he swung the body in a throwing form.
Swinging the Kuma by his leg downward, he then let go, and watched as his partner started to go away. He wouldn't land far, or be in much pain, but being thrown like hat had to be impressive. After letting go of Kma, the Taekwondo fighter ran towards his back. Before Kuma could hit the ground, Foust launched a mighty front kick. His opponent wasn't facing him, so it would be harder to dodge the atack like Foust managed to when he was dizzy. If the attack landed right, his foot would come in contact with Kuma's back.

Kuma had reached the ground with a hand as he was thrown and pushed himself up to his feet before rolling backwards in a smoove motion, completely avoidin Foust's kick as he moved under the foot. Moving up to his feet as Foust still had his leg out Kuma grabbed it and pull it down as he forced his knee into the side of Foust's leg, right by the knee joint to force it in a way it shouldn't go. At the same time he brought his right arm down in an elbow to slightly higher up the leg to further damage the joint. His grip still intence so the leg would begin going numb from lack of blood circulation. Kuma was focused and nothing was going to cause him to lose his goal of landing these strikes. Simply waiting for his next move after this.
The tables had turned now as Foust had been captured, however Kuma had moved for the strikes as soon as he caught the leg giving Foust next to no time to notice he was caught let alone react.

With Kuma getting up, and grabbing his foot, Foust had only a few options, or else he would have to deal with the oncoming attack. A knee coming from the side, the plan to stop it came into action. While, he began to move he didn't notice the elbow coming at the same leg.
Using the foot that kept Foust standing, he jumped up a little, and planted the foot onto Kuma's knee. With some force behind it, the foot stopped the attack. When he did this, it made him a little higher and closer than Kuma. Since he was so close to Kuma now, he was able to bend his leg a little, tightening his knee as the elbow came in contact with it. Itbwas tense already, so there was barely any damage.
Leaping off the Kuma's knee, he started to go higher into the air. He could feel the strength against him as he jumped, for Kuma was still holding his foot. Being pulled back basically, Foust threw his foot up vertical. Then, he slammed his foot down onto Kuma's shoulder causing immense pain.

Kuma felt the sharp pain as the kick crashed down upon him, gritting his teeth he yanked down on Foust's leg as he dropped his body, this was in order to to drop him to the ground. Letting go with his hands he let the body drop as he jumped back. Breathing heavily from the continuous movement both had to be drained heavily. Coughing slightly Kuma took a quick swig from his whiskey bottle as he waited for Foust to stand strong for the final blows. Kuma gripped his fists ready to give it his all. He respected Foust and knew that he had skill, even though they hadn't given their all they had performed well and caused damage to one another. Returning the bottle to his belt Kuma looked on to Foust as he untied and removed his hat, dropping it beside him the wind picked up slightly. "I have enjoyed our spar, shall we finish it with a bang?" Kuma asked as he knew even though he wasn't badly injured he was too tired to continue for much more.
He shifted into a stance, his body facing sideways with one arm low, covering the front of Kuma as the other rest beside his chin, ready to attack. He bounced on the spot as he waited for Foust to prepare himself.

When Foust hit the ground, he was flat with his arms and legs now outward. He looked like he was going to just chill in that spot, and maybe even go to sleep. Springing up to his feet, just as Kuma took a swig of his alcohol, he started to wonder if it was a good idea. Even if you were thirsty, alcohol wasn't the best thing to drink. It can make you les hydrated, or so he thought. Moving away from the whole alcohol business, Foust prepared for the end of the battle to come. He had one main issue, and that was his feet. They were jiddery as if he had just dran an energy drink. From the training he went through, tired was one of the farthest thing from him. He was trained to go long amounts of time without getting tired, unless pushed to limits. Foust wasn't close to his limits at the time, and actually, things seemed to be calming down. One thing was clear, the end was near. Kuma probably wanted to win, but Foust didn't care who won. As long as he was satisfied with the results, then he was fine.
With his hands now at his belt, his left foot in front of the right, and in a sideways horse riding stance, he waited for the next move. Unsure of who would make the next move, both shinigami seemed to b staring eachother down. It was like a old western shootout between two people.

Kuma found the stance's almost funny, the two of them, waiting...waiting. It couldn't have been much more dramatic, but just to try Kuma took another drink, followed be a sigh as if it had suddenly became more harsh on his throat, he then wiped his mouth with the hand that had the bottle in and threw it to the ground. The whole time with a stern look upon his face, keeping his eyes on Foust's. It was the perfect time, just like in all action scenes, the two fighters have their final charge, one would come out victorious, one would not, either would be happy to have such an epic end to a spar though.
Kuma gripped his fists and prepared himself. Sprinting forward he decided it didn't matter if he won or lost but simply one final blow would be nice to land. Darting forward, he waited until he was a couple of feet infront of Foust before he dropped his body as he ducked down and circled his torso, coming up of foust(the direction his body was facing, not the way he was looking) He brought up a right fist to come in as a hook aiming straight for Fousts head, the shot was quick and had power but because of Kuma's momentum his body still wanted to keep moving past Foust, meaning he couldn't throw enough power into another shot to land a good combo, he had simply thrown a left hook to follow quickly behind the right, hoping to catch Foust off guard, but his momentum had taken to much now and Kuma couldn't throw any more punches that had potential.

While watching Kuma run up on him, he started to catch on to where he was going. Without moving, he let his opponent get close enough for an attack. When he swung with his right fist, Foust spun around the on coming fist, performing a three-sixty as well. Now he was behind Kuma in a sheer second, and was already attacking. With his left foot, he jabbed it into the back of Kuma's right knee. This would result in him being forced to fall forward. The tactic could hurt him if he landed on his knee wrong, but wasn't intended to. It was to make Kuma even more tired. If he was too tired to fight, then he would no doubt lose the fight. Foust wanted to show that e was nowhere near giving up. He would end up going past hus limits in a fight if he had to, but would probably pass out too.

Kuma simply felt the air as his hands missed their target, Foust had already shifted behind him and as he dropped his foot into the back of Kumas knee it helped in a way. Kuma moved into a roll as his body had began to drop from the kick to the back of the knee. Standing a few feet away from Foust Kuma caught his breath and watched on as Foust stood, still looking ready. Kuma too had great stamina but the shot earlier to his shoulder sent some kind of wave through to his chest, causing his breathing to be slightly off compared to usual, however Kuma had managed to correct it by now and as he regained his energy he smirked to Foust in his playful way. He decided he would let Foust attack first as Kuma was far more skilled at counter attacks, yet he hadn't had the chance to show it to his friend. Waiting in his usual stance he beckoned with his hand that rest beside his face.

Running after Kuma, Foust realized upon arriving up close to the man, that he was planning to do some type of counter. With this in mind, he kicked at Kuma's legs with his right foot, but pulled it back extremely fast. The same foot then raised up with the same speed, if not faster, to connect with his opponent's gut region. Once again, the kick didn't go through and hit him, but quickly come back. Using his speed, Foust side stepped to Kuma's right, then spun around his back to his left. To complete the spin, he raised his right foot, and with a small jump, kicked at his head. Showing off some of his skills, the thought that he might have to counter the counter attack that Kuma could make, would be hard. He is capable of doing so, but would be hard depending on what th man would do. Still, his attack was fast and powerful.

Kuma watched as Foust ran at him. It was what he wanted but he had to be lucky to get the perfect attacks to counter. As the first kick came up Kuma was waiting for it, he decided for what he had planned for it he needed it to contact him in the slightest so that he could use it against Foust, however it stopped and pulled back, this surprised Kuma as he watched it happen again but this time faster. Kuma now had the trouble of having to see if the attack was a fake or not, after all it was only that he wwanted the kick to contact before he made his move that saved him, otherwise he would have moved in and fallen into the trap.
Kuma had no time to contemplate the change in tactics as Foust moved behind him, twisting his body and ending with his foot coming toward Kuma's head, with speed. Kuma dropped his body down to duck under the attack. He lifted his hand as he ducked his head to catch the foot, it had alot of power and Kuma had to grip it hard in order to catch it. Slamming his spar hand down he smashed it downward aiming for Fousts knee, it did not have full power in the blow but enough to weaken the leg and possibly cause limping, the point of the attack was simply to prevent Foust from kicking as strong and often.

His free foot had landed back on the ground when Kuma caught the kicking foot. Once he felt the tight grip, he jumped up with the standing foot. Since he had to act quickly, Foust turned his upper body to help build momentum as he kicked at his opponent's face with all the force he could gather. As he performed the kick, he slightly bent his knee, and tensed it up just in case it would get hit. This would decrease any damage aimed at it, but would still bring quite good bit of pain. Both of there attacks were happening at the same time, leaving about no room for evading. It would result in a kick to Kuma's face and Foust being hit in the knee.
The punch to the knee was ahead just by half a second, but managed to hit first. It felt like he had tried to knee a tree, and the colission against it's bark would send a shock wave of numbness throught his leg. A quick vibration was felt goiing from his knee to his foot. Setting aside the pain, he powered through with his attack, which was not even a second away from hitting Kuma.

Kuma knew what was coming, he had seen Foust moving, leaving it a choice of an eye for an eye or back out of the attack to avoid the injury. However there wasn't enough time to think of a counter and the strike was too crucial to back out of, strategy wise. Kuma felt the foot reach his face straight after he landed the blow, the kick was hard and caused Kuma to drop his grip, stepping back he held the side of his face briefly. "Good shot" Returning to his stance Kuma moved forward throwing a straight, stopping it before it got too close he had faked it to mask the the idea of anothe shot to the knee. Kuma threw a kick forward at Foust's knee with moderate force as a test to see how Foust would react to the injured leg being attacked.

Landing on the ground, he jumped up nodding in acknowledgement to Kuma's compliment. Then, the drinker came up close for a straight, but Foust had an odd way of blocking it. Bringing his hurt knee up to his chest, it slanted so that the shin would take the impact, but the punch was pulled back. If it wasn't for the idea of using his leg as a way to block, he would have taken Kuma's masked kick to the knee. With the opponent's attack being evaded by sheer luck, there was an opening.
Leaning back, he balnced on the foot still on the ground for balancing. Since he went through Taekwondo training, his balance was incredible now, unlike when he fist arrived in Squad Seven. The leg that was being used to block, thrusted forward at kuma with as much speed as Foust could gather given the distance and position he was in. Even though they were really close, his kicks could be quick still. It was amazing how these two were continuing to go at it, but didn't seem to want to give in to losing. The more they fought, the more they were both beginning to get weiry. They couldn't go on forever, since they were both only shinigami, not gods. As much as they would love to make the battle finish in a way to favor both of them, one had to win, and the other had to lose.

Pulling his arms across into an 'x' formation Kuma took the blow directly in the centre, pushing his arms against his chest he was forced back slightly as his feet scraped against the ground. Kuma pushed away with his arms giving him momentum to move further back and applying pressure to Foust via his foot, testing his balance in some ways. As Kuma had moved back he glanced over his opponent attempting to find a way around his weak spots. The knee was the easiest target, however Foust would no doubt be protecting this now, possibly leaving other openings, one advantage Kuma would have now is the fact he could still move fast with both legs well, however Foust would not be able to use his speed so much as to avoid weakening his leg to much. On the other hand Kuma had a badly worn torso from the blows and constant twists and turns, his body couldn't handle many more quick twists.
Darting forward Kuma used his speed to moved around Foust as he attempted to out run Foust's line of sight without ducking or diving to avoid further injury to himself. He moved in with a hook punch for the side of Foust's face with a decent ammount of power, if the blow was successful Kuma intended to follow up with two quick jabs, one to the head, straight on, the other as an escaping blow as he wanted to push back to escape before injury, knowing full well his body was open whilst being so close to Foust, he simply hoped he had been to fast for Foust to catch the oncoming blows.
