Welcome to Gaia! ::

There it was, Emma was lucky...Darion wasn't able to tell that her hitting him with that would only be a tap. That tensing of his body...Emma knew well what would follow after. Emma's body was coated in ki once more as she ducked beneath Darion's arm. "Here goes, make him notice it!" Emma quickly rose up, practically dragging the wind on her left hand, it was like a rocket as it approached Darion's chin. "Take this!" Emma shouted, something she learned a while ago that seemed to be true...if you shouted something, anything during an attack it had an added impact. Since Emma already hit like a train then it would be interesting to see Darion's reaction to the strike if it hit, even more so if it hit him in the chin. She had no doubt Darion would be stunned for a moment, that would give her some time to breathe.

Shuffle
Rank: E
Description: Shuffling is a skill paramount to advancing as a boxer and is often chained to other techniques. The user uses their quick footwork to dodge incoming blows if they can. Dodges can be done in any way, including ducking to the side or leaning backwards. The skill increases speed by a single rank during the dodge.

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.

"Denied." Emma seemed to be holding her right hand back, this time it wasn't because she wasn't right-handed. It was preparation for a very powerful strike. Almost instantly, or at least faster than Darion's eyes could follow, Emma struck with equal force to Darion's skill. Shattering his plan, and the ice, right then and there. This almost meant her uppercut followed through, and she wasn't restricted by herself since she drew her right arm back to its previous position. It was just a matter of hitting with it, and Darion already wasted his chance to stop Emma from using Punish, unless he got really lucky, or really fast here there was no time to counterattack her. He didn't even get the chance to break the distance between the two.

Shadow Boxing
Rank: C
Description: This is a simple punch, but it's power could easily knock an opponent to the ground in intense pain. A forward strike so fast it can't be seen, this is used to catch the opponent off guard and possibly strike them in the face, the force is so strong it could easily break a nose like crushing a piece of paper. This can be aimed anywhere, but is more effective against the enemy's face.

Emma had seen that guard before, Fenrir did it a lot...Darion had been training it seemed. Emma knew of only one way to deal with this without the use of her weapons. Her fist came in to contact with Darion's elbows, but something was off...she wasn't bleeding, she wasn't even hurt. In fact, Darion was the one who would be hurting soon since he allowed Emma to touch him. Every bone in Darion's arms would shatter from Emma's touch, she pushed out so much ki from her own arm's in to Darion's that he would no longer be using them in this battle. "It's over!" Emma shouted, she then stood up and took steps back. Her arms refused to move now...in fact...there was smoke coming off of her arms, she guessed she overdid it a bit with that punch. "Hurts, doesn't it?" Emma asked smugly.

K.O!!!
Rank: A
Requires: Shadow Boxing
Description: The boxer uses a skill that can take a foe out with just one touch. If they connect a punch to their enemy's chest they can push out a large amount of ki and increase its force, breaking their enemy's bones and putting them in intense pain. This also throws them off their feet. This technique drops mobility in the user's arms and makes them useless for ten posts. It can only be used twice per battle. If the user misses, they won't lose the use of their arms and can try again, even though they just wasted one of their tries. This can be done on any part of the enemy's body, but it won't knock them out unless it's the chest or the face. It will still break bones, however.

"You're lucky I didn't hit you in the chest, you would've passed out in a second, there's a reason that move is called a K.O." There was still smoke wafting off Emma's arms...she couldn't move them at all. "I've got a lot more where this comes from, Darion. You'd better use the time you've got to finish this...not like you have a good chance with the bones in your arm broken, right?" Emma sounded smug. "I wonder how hard I'll have to squeeze your arm to make you pass out...I could do that, or I could just do that move again and turn your bones to dust." Emma was walking around in a huge circle, keeping her distance from Darion now. True he could still fight with his bones broken, but Emma doubted he'd have to will to continue if she turned the bones in his arm in to literal dust. She wouldn't even have to go that far, with his broken bones she just needed to get a good hit in to shatter them for good...at least until he went to the nurse's office.

"Scared? Of you? Haven't I beaten you twice already? You should've learned this taunting thing doesn't work on me." Emma had a smug look on her face, he did this every single time, and every single time he did it he always lost. "I sort of...overheated my arms, so I'll be waiting it out. And before you get any dirty thoughts in your head just let me say now you're not allowed to take advantage of the situation." Emma's walking around in a circle tactic kept Darion a fair distance away, but it also meant she wasn't really getting anywhere herself. "For now...I'll stay on defense, I'm not too good without my arms."

Emma smiled when he stopped moving for a second, he was bracing his body for something. Emma did a fancy little move and dodged to the side, completely passing Darion by. In fact, due to her speed it's like she wasn't even there in his eyes. "Is that all you've got? You plan to charge me?" Emma chuckled before turning around to look at Darion and backing away, still needing to wait it out a bit before continuing combat. Until then all she could do was try to control the battlefield. "Come on, show me what you can do. Stop holding back." Emma was disappointed in him, he had so much potential, but it seemed like he wasn't trying as hard as he could.

"You're trying too hard." Emma quiped, throwing her body back with enough force to flip for a second before landing on her feet once more. Emma didn't know if she could say if she was reading him or not, to her he was moving very slowly...his movements were obvious...he wasn't prepared. "Spikes won't do you any good." Emma said, using her speed to keep an advantage over Darion. Even though he was running at her she was going the opposite direction, and since she was so much faster than him there was no possible way for him to catch up. Just to be a jerk she stayed sixteen feet away from him at all given times from this point until her arms could move.

"You're an idiot, worse yet, you are a brash idiot. Are you honestly so foolish as to believe I would fight you without the use of my arms? Think, what is a boxer's favorite weapon?" Even though Emma didn't show strong emotion she was annoyed with Darion, if he assumed fights were just rushes then he was sorely mistaken, that's why she was going to punch his face to the other side of his head, then maybe he'd understand that a fight wasn't all about brute force, it was a battle of strategy, and that was something he lacked.
