The Martial Unity

Fiona threw herself at Mia multiple times, being blown away each time. She could have chosen a route where she used evasive maneuvering to dodge Mia's aim, but instead she thrusted herself headfirst into Mia's super-powered attacks.

Yet each time, she managed to reach further and further.

FLICK

She managed to touch Mia's face, earning Mia's shock, before the sound bullet touched her.

BAM!

She swiftly landed a blow before the attack could push her away

Mia skidded back despite guarding it, immediately setting up a sound attack.

Yet it was too late.

POW!

A swift kick to the jaw sent her flying across the arena. Fiona didn't even wait for her to gain her bearing.

BAM BAM BAM!

She pummeled Mia ruthlessly.

POW!

The second strike to the jaw.

THUD

Mia collapsed as she lost consciousness.
