The Martial Unity

Rui calmly took his new stance as he met Fiona's probing gaze.

The initial predictive model had been completed. Rui had managed to hold on for long enough for himself and the Mindmirror Symbiote brain to work together.

This time, it was his turn to go on the offensive.

POW POW POW!

He began with a flurry of jabs at her, testing her out and feeling her reactions as he continued refining his predictive model.

It wasn't enough to be called a flaw, but one shortcoming of the VOID algorithm was that he needed data in the same areas as the things he was trying to predict by creating a predictive model.

Because of the fact that she had been on the offensive the entire time and he had been on the defensive, he didn't have much data on her defensive patterns. Although he could still predict her with parameters that were unchanging across offense or defense, the predictive model was at its most effective when it had adequate data.

WHOOSH WHOOSH

BAM BAM!

He casually evaded her, having predicted her movements with the predictive model, while launching perfectly placed and timed uppercuts into openings created by her own attacks.

She grimaced as she leaped back, throwing a concerned glance at Rui who chased after her, refusing to let her get her bearings in the fight.

With every attack he threw, success or failure, the prediction model gained access to more and more data that allowed the predictions to become more and more refined.

She knew that she had already failed in trying to defeat him before he evolved to her. The best she could do at that point was trying to win regardless of the evolution.
