Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

As he righted himself into his regular stance, he wanted to try and jab again, but it was pretty obvious he was going to do something else. I rammed at him back, but what I didn't count on this time was repeating the follow up again, this time with a right fist from below. I didn't know where exactly he struck but I could feel it dig into my body. It didn't hurt too much though. However, that he struck from below gave me an opening to literally stomp on his foot and follow that up with a knee to the stomach. "Eh, it's late and I'm tired. Cut me some slack." I sounded like I yawned there. Hope he didn't see me wince!

He was surprised. She was definitely stringer than she looked. She managed to counter his ram well enough with her own body, despite the size difference. She hadn't counted on his follow-up, though and he felt contact. It was a definite hit, he almost wish he had been able to put more power behind it. He felt a sharp pain in his foot and his footing was briefly lost. He wrenched his foot back just in time to receive a shot to the knee. He stumbled back a few steps, a bit surprised and flashed her a look of admiration. She was now better than 90% of the people he had fought.
He grinned confidently to match her airy tone. "I know right? I guess that's my bad, but I was trying to get a good luck vibe for this. Still, I haven't right since a couple days ago." He had slept fine. That was a bluff. He couldn't have her thinking she had actually done any damage. His stumble was a bit of a giveaway, but not enough to show how much it had hurt. The Brute tactic would work still. He eyed her up and down once more. She definitely wasn't heavy. Yeah... It'll work. He began to bum-rush in a charge again to attack her, but insytead of ramming like he had before, he instead bent himself forward and attempted to grab at her legs, using his momentum to flip into the air over his back.

He stumbled but well, I kinda saw through his little quip. Nothing better than a bit of chatter in the middle of an innocent scrap. I could tell that at this point in time, he definitely preferred to talk with his fists than to talk with words. I could easily see that as he seemed more excitable and eager in his movements. It was very easy to sense his currently brute-force approach to the situation, but of course I had to expect the worst at all times. Sometime during this instant and the next, he had bent forward in an attempt to get me into a lift. Yep, he was diving for my legs. That's... Kind of the epitome of brute-force when I think about it. He had to hesitate at first though since he hadn't fully assessed my weight beforehand. Kind of a big mistake, when you think about it, since it had prepared me for a strange maneuver I didn't think I'd ever find myself doing.
As he got closer to me, with his arms ready to grab my legs, I forced my hands down on his shoulders, he had already bent forward so while he was more grounded, that would have made him fumble the positioning of his arms, to which I followed up by flipping forward myself over his back by pushing off his shoulders, the force of which should make him stumble forward. I don't count on it actually injuring him, though.

The move caught him off guard. For a brief second he wondered if he was in one of those fighting games. He felt himself pushed forward and quickly projected his hands in the proper position to catch himself. He rolled, partially. The angle of momentum had been too steep and he felt his back hit the ground with a thud. That one hurt a bit. He blinked up at the sky and instantly moved into his next attack. She was towards the direction of his head, so he swung his feet into the air and rolled backwards on to his soles. They wouldn't survive the night. Without skipping a beat, he used the momentum from his backwards role, to turn left and leap at his opponent. He whipped his left elbow out, using it to cut through the air between him and her and to deal a devastating blow to the side of her head.

What the Chri-- Crack! Mother of lord... That was kind of painful... I found myself having to spin a bit to the side to mitigate the searing pain from that sudden strike, and even then I found myself a little disoriented, but it wasn't.. Much. I found myself coughing, but I knew that it was a fierce blow so he would need some time to recover and collect himself, during this moment I forced myself to squat and bend forward, bracing myself and then doing a full right-shoulder ram directly into his now-exposed chest, as he had already done a motion to leap in order to strike at me. I coughed again and realized from the stinging sensation on the side of my head I started to bleed. Damn, son. I tried to ignore it but it was going to make my dizzy. Hngh. If only I were stronger...! Still, I had to try. He had already done the first move and I sure as hell wasn't going to pussyfoot my way out of this one. It was too much of an opportunity not to. I feel bad for his shoes though. They were going to be positively destroyed after this.

He had been expecting it. The woman had shown she was resilient. Most typical opponents would have been completely unable to fight back after a blow like that, but her strength seemed almost otherworldly for her size. 95% better than the people he had fought in his life. He had tried to brace himself for the attack once he saw her begin to make a charging motion. It still hurt. He found himself digging his feet into the dirt and still sliding backwards. He felt his toe touch gravel. Well... there they go, I guess... shit. He knew this was another opportunity. He grabbed at Alisa'a sides and attempted to pull her lower half into the air. He would then let go to drop her on her head, another hard hit, but it shouldn't be fatal. For the Shoes!

Oh, crap! I fell for it! What was I thinking! Shows that's what happens when you try to blitz a man who has several inches over you and probably weighs almost twice as you... Then, I felt something. He grabbed my sides and tried to lift my lower half into the air and, if he were dramatic enough, attempt to literally piledrive my head into the ground. Are you fucking nuts, mister?! No, what I would do is to force my body weight on him before he lets go of me so maybe I can break my fall on his body, or something. Yeah. He pulled my lower half into the air, so I end up helping him by relaxing my weight, and because he ignored the fact my arms were still available, I also grabbed at him, gripping at his legs as tight as I could as I then eventually began to force my lower half against his force of gravity. Bet you didn't count on this one, did you, sucker! However, this awkward position was beginning to take its toll on my senses as I felt myself getting a little dizzier. Urgh, this head wound...! Jesus Christ.

Wow... Lot felt his feet go out from under him, pulled by the woman. Better than 99% for sure. He felt gravity's pull and hit the ground with a crack. His body had borne the weight of two and the impact was much worse. His head had smacked into the gravel and he felt an intense pain in the back of his head. His body ached. He winced before opening his eyes. At this point is eyes were parallel to the inside of her thighs. And judging by the pressure, she would be right at... It's been a while since I was in this position. He snapped his eyes open and shoved the woman off of him before attempting to roll sideways onto his feet. As he began to bend his legs to stand, the pain in his head intensified briefly. He swung his hand up to where the pain radiated from and felt warm blood. She had gotten him good.
She had fought well. Lot was significantly impressed. "I admit," Lot said, panting slightly. Pain had a way of wearing on endurance. "I think I grossly underestimated your skill." She had fought with intense passion that showed that she was not just mindlessly spouting off garbage. She truly believed in what she was saying. Fists spoke better than words in this case. "Let's say we call this quits at a draw and try to talk this out a bit?"

I ignored the rather compromising position I had landed myself in before being thrown off the man. I weakly stood up and shook myself to regain my composure. I kept a hand to my head where the blood had poured out. Just about the entire left side of my face was red, I estimate, judging by the amount of blood that stained my hand after that. No wonder I felt so damn dizzy. I'd have to dress this wound back at home, if I could even make it back home without freaking passing out. I'd have to say that was rather strenuous. Then again, this man was... Easily twice my size. Roundabouts. "I'm too tired to talk right now, officer. As you can see, we both look like trash. I need to treat my wounds. You probably need to, as well. I need to go home. It's kind of far from here. We can talk it out at another time." I coughed and kept my left hand on my head wound. Yeah. Looking like trash was one way to describe it. I could taste the blood already. I almost stumbled to the side but for the most part I was able to keep my composure. The guy was tough but at least I was able to stop him from injuring me any further.
"Take care, officer. Maybe during the day time." I weakly found myself saluting the guy and turned around and limped my way back before he could properly respond. I had a huge-ass headache and all I just wanted was a hot bath or shower. And then lots of sleep.

Lot was about to move to try and stop her, but his head seared in pain when he tried to jump up. He supposed he agreed with her statement. There was no sense standing around talking when they both had bleeding head wounds. Hers looked particularly bad. He was actually pretty satisfied he had ended it where they had. It would have probably escalated into a weapon fight of some kind. The woman no longer seemed the type to not have a weapon on her.
He glanced down at his shoes. The soles were completely coming off at this point. He sighed and struggled to his feet and stood there until he regained his composure. Once he felt focused enough, he forced a casual walk away from where they had met and went to return to his apartment. The wound would need a bandage. He tossed his shoes in the trash on his way there.
