Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sure, this is just a warmup." Emma said, taking her stance again, she hadn't even broken a sweat yet, even though it looked a bit different with all the water on her. "You'll know when we get to the actual sparring phase." When they got that far Emma expected Imogen to fight as hard as she could, because Emma would be doing the exact same. It would all help Imogen in the end...if she wasn't too sore in the morning.

Emma nodded and ran straight ahead, there was no use feinting strikes as Imogen hadn't tried to attack, so Emma could be as straightforward as she wanted to now. Emma used her superior speed to close distance quickly before throwing a powerful straight kick at Imogen, easily dodged with a backstep, but she wanted to see if Imogen was more creative than that.

Emma saw that she was going to fall anyway, so why avoid it? She leaned back and placed one hand on the sand while leaning against it with her leg that wasn't suspended in the air. She had put herself on the ground, but not in a way she couldn't defend herself from here, but she needed to get back on the offensive, defense was all fine, but it didn't win battles. If Imogen let go of her leg then she could continue what she was doing to start off with, if not then Emma was already preparing a plan.

Emma wasn't so easily affected by this due to the way she'd been trained, there was no following pain either. Emma rolled backwards before sighing, she couldn't fight very well with her clothes weighing her down, her attacks would be delivered slowly, to a point where Imogen would be able to counter them with less difficulty. Emma removed her shirt and ripped off her pant's legs up to her thigh, good enough for now. With that done Emma ran forward and kicked the ground instead of Imogen, aiming her leg so she kicked up sand at Imogen's face. Hoping that distracted her Emma aimed her fist straight at Imogen's chin, a simple stunning uppercut to improve her chances to get another strike. If she landed one she was more than likely to land another.

Emma was stricken, but completely unaffected by the strike due to her immunity against pain. Emma turned her head back the right way since her neck didn't break or anything and with her other hand threw a powerful uppercut that would send Imogen soaring if it connected. She may have done this already, but this one was different, faster, more powerful because this time ki was added to her strike. To ensure it was impossible to miss Emma added a second technique to her uppercut so she didn't even have to touch Imogen to send her flying.

Punish
Rank D
Description: A powerful uppercut. The skill itself may look simple, but it has enough force to stagger all but the strongest foes. If this skill connects with the enemy's chin, it sends them flying with the force of a C-Rank attack, but it's doubtful anybody will let themself get hit in the chin that easily.

Lunar Basics: Strike
E rank
The user punches at the foe, and their Ki takes physical form, striking the foe in a ball shape, about 2 feet in front of the fist, or shorter if the foe is closer. This attack causes painful bruises.

Emma stopped mid-strike to glance at Darion before waving. "Not much, I was just sparring with Imogen." She said, gesturing to her opponent. Since Emma had to remove her shirt and part of her pants to keep from being weighed down she could tell how cold Darion really was just from standing near him, not to mention she jsut felt really exposed now...she couldn't exactly fix that until she returned to her room. "Haven't seen you around in a while, you get any training done?" She asked, crossing her arms, her grey lifeless eyes examining him once more.

"Alright, there's no problem with a quick spar." Emma said, taking her combat stance once again, she'd grown more powerful since the last time they fought so this time instead of being on even ground she had an advantage over him. She had to remaiend focused though, since she was stronger than him if he won then they'd be on the same level again. "After you."
