Snippet #1730502

Alex Sledge V.S Kaylen Grey

The sudden action from Shinigami drew Alex's attention, blinding him to the surprise attack from the female in front of him. He felt a sudden, heavy impact on the side of his head from Kaylen's combat boot, causing Alex's vision to swim and making him stumble to the left. Alex regained his sense of balance just as Kaylen swung a left hook aimed at his jaw, The Ranger moved his head outside of the punch, and brought his left forearm up to intercept her own, causing her momentum to carry her strike way past it's intended target, opening her up for a counter attack.

Alex swung a hard right hook at her temple, but to his surprise, the agile woman ducked under it and spun towards him in the same motion, building momentum for the uppercut she delivered to Alex's gut.
Alex moved with the punch and tightened his abs, minimizing the pain and damage as he moved back.

Alex regained his combat pose and studied his opponent. Her power was all in her long legs, accompanied with her reflexes, this made her a dangerous opponent. Alex knew in order to win this he'd have to get inside her leg reach.

The ranger took a breath and charged her, Kaylen attempted to deliver a high kick, but it was batted away by both of Alex's arms in mid stride, knocking her off balance and leaving her defenseless as Alex rammed his shoulder into her chest, causing them both to tumble on to the ground.

Alex came out on top and delivered a brutal punch to the center of the Marine's face, sending a gout of blood from her mouth to spatter on the white floor of the hallway.

He attempted another strike, but Kaylen moved her head out of the way and instead, Alex's fist cracked painfully against the floor. Kaylen took the opportunity to slam her knee into Alex's groin, drawing a sharp gasp from the ranger before she slammed her fist as hard as she could into his nose.

Alex fell off of her, but couldn't recover quick enough to avoid the savage kick she delivered to his mouth after she rose from the ground. Alex shook his head to clear the stars that seemed to be dancing in his field of vision, then crossed his arms in front of his face to deflect another kick.

Alex rolled away just as a third kick from Kaylen glanced his shoulder, and she pursued him. As he got up, she attempted to knee him in the face to put him back down, but Alex twisted his body and leaned back, Kaylen's knee just barely missing his face. As the marine lost her balance from the miss, her right knee stretched out in front of her, Alex brought his right elbow around and it caught Kaylen in the lower abdomen, doubling her over, then before she could recover, Alex came up with a vicious uppercut to the center of her stomach with enough force to bring both of her feet half an inch off the ground.

Kaylen dropped to her knees, gasping for breath. Alex simply walked back, keeping his eyes locked on her, but aware of the struggle between Seph and the other man, as well as the eyes trained on both fights. He spit a mouthful of blood on the floor, and wiped the oozing blood from his sore nose.

"Ready to throw in the towel?", he asked the gasping woman on the ground. He spread his arms. "It doesn't have to be like this".
She started to get up.
Please, for your own sake...just stay down, He thought to himself.
She stood up, wincing as she straightened.
"I have to hand it to you, your one tough chick", he said, hoping his show of mercy and the compliment would disarm her.
She ignored him and began to walk forward.
Alex went back up in his battle stance and waited as she drew near, and for a few seconds, they just stood there, fists up and bouncing on the balls of their feet.
Kaylen swung, and compared to her first few hits, this one was slower and weaker, evidence of the punishment she had taken. Alex brought his left arm up and stopped the strike aimed for his temple, then he delivered a right hook that caught the hurt and exhausted Kaylen right in the jaw, and immediately, she went limp.

Kaylen's legs buckled and she twisted in mid fall, but Alex caught her arms. At least it was something, Alex hated striking women, and in fact this was his first time fighting a woman, and so he grudgingly held on to at least a bit of chivalry as he let her somewhat-gently fall to the floor.
