Welcome to Gaia! ::

Description: A square stone platform raised three feet off the ground. A stadium of a crowd surrounds the entire field (so ignore the backdrop in the above picture).

Field Measurements:

Stone Platform - 40 x 40 yards
Surrounding Grass - 15 yards between the platform and the audience

Ten Count Boundary: As soon as both feet touch the grass, the ring out count begins. Going higher than forty yards into the air starts a ten count.

"What?..Now?"

The blonde hair woman would ask as a tournament official escorted her to the arena, she had barely managed to sort herself a hotel room before being ushered away and told to prepare for round one. Luckily as she walked up to the edge of the platform she was handed her weapon kit, it contained various pointy objects, all of which she had come to know and love.

"Hmmm...I think I might just stick to the original for this one."

Dismissing the bag entirely in favor of the custom made trench blades that were neatly concealed in the outer sides of her knee high, steel toed combat boots. She certainly was a sight to behold old Jay, her blonde hair shinning under the sun, silver tinted eyes which bedazzled many a man, woman and beast, and of course the usual tight black dress which she always seemed to wear. b***h must have a hundred of them in her wardrobe, since majority of the time they tended to get torn off during her rather full on matches.

Finally the woman would step up onto the platform, looking around at all the faces of people she didn't know..Hoping that Bishop would be watching from somewhere in the crowd. She was determined to make him proud.
It took a while before she spotted her..Opponent?...

"Is...Is that a giant cat?..."

Jay had to stare...It was a giant cat, and all she could think was...CUTE!!!!!!!! So naturally it would be a few long seconds of silence before she opened her mouth to say.. "Are you related to Mana by any chance?"
It had to be asked, since Mana was the only other cat like being she had ever met.
taking a few steps forward a smile formed on full lips as she thanked the heavens the cat was shorter than her, not that she was terribly tall at a whopping 5'4". But it made her feel good regardless.

"The names Jay, lets have a good match eh?"

Speaking politely with a genuine smile she would slide her right foot back and turn so her left side faced the cat, reaching down to quickly slip the two knuckle duster handled blades from her boots, fingers firmly grasping them while the eight inches of steel beauty revealed themselves to the world. As this happened Jay would begin shifting her weight from left to right...Almost bouncing like a boxer on her toes.
Both arms held before her with the left hand hovering over the right, both blades protruding outwards from her clenched fists.
Slowly bouncing her way inward towards the cat, leaving roughly fifteen yards between them.

Well the sarcasm was unexpected, not that it fazed Jay in the slightest. She was more or less disappointed with the reaction, all she wanted was a yes or no answer.
Then the cat spoke some kind of proverb? Nope, it was more like gibberish to her ears. A bank expression would be her only reaction to this though, since now was the time to move, despite the distance between them she had an advantage...Compound V. This allowed her to move very fast, at a run of course. But the cat would find that out for herself soon enough.

"Really a fan? Alright then...Lets do this!"

Jay would say as she suddenly turned face, launching herself off her left foot into a sprint never dropping her arms, she was agile and had a natural balance that would be 'almost' cat like, being a former dancer and all.
Besides fifteen feet wasn't that big of a distance to close anyway, especially since she was moving far quicker than a natural human.
If she managed to be unhindered she would stop on her left foot, sliding it forward and turning to bring her left arm out while once again facing her opponent with her left side, aiming to slash horizontally across the cat's shoulders/ collar bone. This was more or less to force the animal to step back or react with that pretty little fan of hers.
The last thing the feline would want was this woman up in her grill, Jay was dangerous at the best of times...Deadly when in close quarters.

Well that was unexpected to say the least, a snake headed projectile was shot out from the felines left hand...and unfortunately it was attached by a ten foot chain, how the cat managed to conceal ten feet of chain was beyond the woman but either way she was going to take advantage of it. Since her guard was already up it was simply a matter of reacting how any trained fighter would...move your arm infront of the threat in order to protect your vulnerable spots.
In this case she happened to be facing the cat and saw the flick of her wrist...the snake head flew out and Jay would raise her right arm to take the fanged bite on her forearm, yeah sure it hurt, but she had delt with worse. Now however she would dig her heels into the platform to bring herself to a sudden stop, this was coupled with her right arm twisting twice in order to wrap some of the length of chain around her arm and grip it in her hand....
Little Ms Kitty was in for a surprise.

You see Jay was so much more than an attractive woman, she was what many would call talented, she had the strength to roll with the heavy weights.



It would be within seconds of grapping the chain with both hands now to claim even more length(which is entirely possible with the trench blades in her hands.) she would yank it towards her with enough force to literally pull the cat clean off the ground. Oh how she loved being strong as well as fast. So if this all went according to plan the cats swipe would be cancelled out, like her intended actions before that.
And if the cat was pulled in, assuming the chain is attached to her arm still? She would be met with a snap kick to the face, considering Jay would of pulled her in and with the momentum of doing so turned side on and tilted to her left in order to lash out with her right leg.

!  

A suprised cry of pain escaped the brawler as the chain morphed and suddenly dug into her flesh, blood streaked down her arm from the lacerations and dripped steadily to the ground beneath her. What the hell happened? This was nothing like the woman had seen before and now she was in a bit of trouble, since the snake head had clamped down on her forearm and wasn't going anywhere in a hurry.
She had seriously underesitmated the cat, a mistake she would not make twice. Gritting her teeth she would loosen the tension by letting her arm go limp by her side, butthiswould bewhen thecat decided to attack again, this time with some kind of air move? Great, she was facing a metal morphing magic ninja cat. This was just what she needed.  

Thankfully she was fast on her feet, able to throw herself down and forward. Rolling under the cutting blast, the thin metal wire looped in the air and took the brunt of it. Whether it broke or not was yet to be seen. But right now she was literally in the cats face, having rolled side on and twisting to bring one hand down to push up as the toes of her feet were brought up to continue the motion and launch herself forward again. Taking full advantage of the momentum from the roll, she would be atop to cat with her left arm bent at the elbow infront of her chest, the right half extendedas if to try and hug the cat... Which was true, she wanted to grab the cat in a half hold around its chest.  

If all went to plan she would finally have her hands on the petite feline. In which case Jay would bring her left elbow up to try smashit into the top of the cats right shoulder, which given her increased strength would hurt a fair bit. The intention was to give her a dead arm, if not dislocate it completely.

I forfit the match. Sorry Midus.

I just found myself forcing posts, and that isn't fun.

So good luck Ms Kitty.
