Description: Team Jizumi vs The Goochi Goochi Duo! All four fighters are blindfolded and must fight without using their sight on Niki Beach! [Winner(s): The Goochi Goochi Duo!]
The day was about as perfect as you could get on a beach. The sun was shining, there were few clouds in the sky, the ocean was blue and playful, and the sands were warm and inviting. Thanks to the winter season, it wasn't even too hot or humid, making it absolutely perfect day to spend at a beach.
The area had been forcibly cleared out for this tag team battle, with the only real marking for the site being a lone medusa statue. The snake haired woman is wearing beach appropriate attire and was aethetically pleasant to look at. She had arms out from her body in a bowed 'T' formation, with her palms pointing upwards. In each hand she holds a small but wide brass cup, containing a sizable candle in it. The flames were already lit and seemed to serve the purpose of drawing the team to this exact spot. At the base of the statue also sits a brown sack, loosely tied and begging to be opened.
Azumi is the first on the scene and despite the occaisional cool breeze, the werewolf is crouching on a nearby palm tree, using it for shade while she waits for the other people to show up. Feeling a little bit better about her appearance since that first party day, she's dressed in a rather simple looking white one-peice swimsuit. She doesn't seem to be terribly comfortable in it, but this was a battle where people would mostly be blindfolded, so who really cares?
The Red Witch, who has been on the island from the first day, has been both impossible to find and really easy, depending on how hard you weren't trying. Either lost in the kitchen store rooms, or any one of the number of different places food could be found (does room service come from someplace and if so can you be lost there?) Anyway, she's here now on time or early, still munching on an apple she found from who knows where.
Dressed in her usual attire, a misnomer because she only appeared on the scene from out of thin air fairly recently and didn't seem to exist prior, but short of digression, she is in a red dress with long flowing sleeves that tie to the dress as though they are seperate pieces. Dark round shades (of course) a witches hat and a broom. Except today she has a new piece of attire. A red blindfold. She apparently already has her on.
"Man it's dark out here, like seriously who turned out the lights and could they turn them back on again?" Yeah, she's still wearing her shades under the blindfold which you can tell because of the shape of the blindfold.
Another fight on Zack Island, and this time it's out of respect for Medusa, meaning that everyone has to be blindfolded. For some that may make things seem a little more difficult, but Mila's not minding it one bit. Wearing her orange, yellow, and black striped bikini from before, she also dons a black blindfold over her eyes. Yet there's still a grin on her face as she gets herself ready to fight. "This is gonna be rather interesting. Not knowing what you're up against until it's too late, having to take a random guess at what's going on. I wonder if those grandmasters who are trained to fight blindfolded would be able to do this?"
Without waiting for an answer, Mila simply continues to warm up, although she does bump into Naerose a few times. "Hey, nobody turned out the lights. You're blindfolded, remember?"
Knowing there was a fight scheduled, and after having made the point about sticking with her teammate on the yacht (she swears it might still be scuttled), she's right behind Azumi. Jira herself is new to the island and is using her new partner as a compass.
Once she's at the eerie statue, with Azumi and someone that is dressed like halloween's invaded, Jira feels pretty normal in her swimsuit. A one piece slingkini with extra stability, probably bought before she came to the island. Little of her figure is to the imagination, except the bits that would turn the rating to NC-17!
A little confused and disoriented, she examines the bag at the foot of the statue and peers inside.. hoping that it had the blindfolds that were mentioned at the 'preview announcement'. If so, she grabs one, removes her sunglasses, and dons it!
The bag did indeed contain four blindfolds to be used, but judging by how the others had decided to come here with said blindfolds on...these may not be nessessary?
Azumi makes her way towards the statue once it seemed that the others had arrived and sighs, wincing at the bright weather as she leaves her shade. Once Jira's finished with the bag she takes the next pass at it, removing a black blindfold. She takes a moment to study Jira and sniffs in her general direction. Satisfied with that, she brings the blindfold up around her eyes as well, tying the cloth down.
"Ah...do we have a start bell or anything...?"

"Start bell? Who needs a bell? Let's just get it on!" Mila calls out in the direction of Azumi's voice. "We may be dancing in the dark, but that's all right. I like a good challenge in my fights now and then!" She taps her fists together then gets into an actual fighting stance for real this time. "Now let's go!"
Mila steadies herself and attempts to advance on the direction she believed Azumi's voice to have come from. "Here I come!" She says as she throws a swift left jab forwards, almost like she's trying to feel around for her opponent.
As soon as the blindfolds are all on, or atleast Jira's is, her body bulks up. She becomes more muscular, and even seems to be a bit taller! It might be fun for the cameras purportedly recording the whole island as her suit seems tighter on her increased size, bosoms held more tightly by the straps of her swimwear and a little bit more tasteful groin and rump are exposed, but it's still modest enough compared to some -other- scraps of material around here!
"I agree, let's get this over with." she states, in the usual pair of voices she exhibits during her televised events. She kind of remembered where that red-wearing 'who turned the lights out' came from! Using that as her guide, Jira pools her psionic energy into her right hand and hurls it in a fast, overhand throw.. hopefully at the witchy girl.

And meanwhile Naerose was like totally not prepared for what came next. She was all like chilling eating and apple and huh, people are talking and then Bang. She's nailed with a mouthful of energy that is like not even a little tasting like an apple. This apple is bad. She's pretty sure she had a bad apple.
"Waaa, this blindfold thing is a drag, I can't even tell when I have a bad apple," she complains and then decides the only way to solve this problem is do the same thing right back at it, so she whips her arm around and clings a flurry of icy darts in the direction of bad apple.
"I hope there is ice cream later," she muses and pouts, which no one can see, but believe me, it's an epic pout.
Azumi extra senses are going to be quite useful in this fight. Her ears detect a sudden change in her surroundings, with the one who just talked coming after her. She raises an arm to block the oncoming attack, withstanding it and smiling as it seemed like it didn't rattle her as much as she imagined it might.
She keeps her mouth shut and returns the favor to Mila, charging her non-blocking hand with green chi-energy and throwing a vicious looking uppercut, hoping that the girl was still close enough to hit.

Almost like an unconscious reflex thing, Mila's hands rise up quickly, attempting to prepare for a possible counterattack after being blocked. Mila's instincts turn out to be on the money, as she finds herself being hit in the arms with the uppercut. She grunts a little but is barely fazed by the actual blow. "Not bad, actually," Mila says, trying to isolate the direction of the blow and where it came from, although Azumi could easily have changed positions by now. Attempting to use her ears and (possibly) sixth sense, Mila attempts to circle around what she thinks is Azumi.
"They could've had us do this at night, you know," Mila says to no one in particular, "But that wouldn't be as challenging." Sticking out her leg, Mila attempts to check to make sure there's nothing hard in her way that could cause her to stub her toe or something similar with her next attack. "I like this better!" Mila attempts to leap slightly and deliver a forwards snap kick at (hopefully) Azumi!

"Then why didn't you pick your snack -before- the match?" they ask the whining target of their blast. Groaning, pain-laced psi doesn't taste all that good, to be certain. Akabara picks up on inbound energy and has Jira push both her arms forward, in attempt to redirect the attack. But in the end she's just spiked and sent to her knees from sickening natural energy before she can project.
"If this is 'ice cream', I think I can do without."

"What? No way! You can't pass on ice cream, are you crazy? If they have crazy people on this island than woah, I mean like woah. Seriously, when I'm allowed to take this blindfold off I am going to be all like, lets go get some ice cream and you're going to be like wow yeah, I thought you'd never ask! Cause that's what happens when you get ice cream!" >_<
Then it occurs to Naerose that she just talked to a bad apple that she'd been eating for a little while and that's kind of weird,
"Um wait, you're a talking apple? Now that -is- creepy." She extends her palm toward the talking apple and shouts,
"End Creation!" and tries to blast it where it is delicious and ice cream hating and still an apple.
Azumi grumbles as her uppercut grazes off mark. While generally being able to tell where someone was is easy enough...what they were actually doing is something else entirely. She starts to back off a little bit to regain her bearings, when at that exact moment, a kick catches her in the side of the head. It's not the heaviest blows, and it's out before she could use that as an approximation of where to attack next.
However, as she talks again, she puts two and two together and prepares an attack of her own. She steps forward and makes a wide roundhouse kick in in Mila's direction, a bit of wind following behind it. Just as soon as the first attack finishes, she follows up with a second roundhouse kick.

Sensing the incoming attack from Azumi, Mila steadies herself, and then she... rushes in?!
Yes, Mila chooses to rush in towards her opponent instead of just backing off. Reaching out with slightly shaky hands, Mila attempts to grab for her opponent, and catches Azumi's leg. She uses this opportunity and the momentum from the catch to literally spin around behind her opponent, using the location of her leg to figure it out, and then grabs her from behind. "You're going down, and so am I!" Mila rolls forwards, landing flat on her back, with Azumi coming down beside her.
"But you're going to have a bit of trouble getting up!" Mila adds as she bends Azumi's arm back, having grabbed it during the roll forwards. Once she's done her attack, Mila rolls backwards onto her feet, a little disoriented at the moment from what just happened and knowing that she's a little more vulnerable right now.

All the babble from Jira's selected target makes them easier to locate and turn to face. Confusion would certainly be her, were it not for her partner calling the shots. "Food and battle have no place together. I do not see why you continue to talk about it." they reply.
As if to further cement their point, Jira's limbs shine a bright and luminous white with psi.. though the cameras may only pick up flickers of this event. It spreads to cover her whole body like a second skin, shining and luminous, solid to anyone nearby, enough to be mistaken for her wearing light. But those at home only see her flashing.. did the broadcast give a warning to those with epilepsy at home?
With her luminous coating in place, and again the warning that something nauseating is coming her way, Jira quickly reacts by rushing in close to the source of this energy from her foe, and slams her fist into it, the impact accompanied by a wailing burst of psionic energy that bleeds out pain. Followed quickly by a quick counterclockwise spin to grab the impact point and give it a quick, single-rotation throw straight to the sand while also injecting more of her woeful energy into the target.
"If you are, however, still enthusiastic, perhaps we can continue the conversation after the fight is finished."
Waaaaa this apple is seriously causing problems for Naerose. She's not sure how to be more serious than talking about food either, this apple is clearly loopy.
"Well it's bad enough I'm talking to an apple," She contents after saying something to the effect of blarg as she gets struck, "But now that I'm seriously considering joinign the apple for ice cream later, that's a first, even for me, but umm ice cream so yeah . I'm game." She smiles which you totally can't see then tries to strike the apple with her broom, ba-bang.
Azumi didn't have time to register the arm lock; without having visual confirmation, it's really difficult to tell what exactly was going on. As soon as she's grabbed from behind though, she immediately knew what had happened. She's brought out of her manuver and into Mila's hitting the ground and taking a pretty good amount of damage to one arm. As soon as she's able she slides her arm out from Mila's grasp and rights herself, landing her feet back on the warm and flexing her damaged appendage, growling a little bit.
Not seeing much else she could do in this situation but press the attack, she charges in herself, aiming to plant a pretty mean elbow into Mila's belly. If that connects, she follows up with a hip-check body slam, throwing Mila into the sand directly below her.

Apparently, Mila's ears are improving, or she's just getting a better sense of how to try to detect where her opponent is. Even with her blindfold on, Mila still manages to step to the side just in time to avoid being caught by Azumi. Her feet shift and she finds that she's not hit at all. Apparently, Mila's getting the hang of how to fight while blindfolded. "This is very interesting. Maybe I should challenge an MMA opponent to a battle like this. We may not see much but the crowd will have a unique sight on their hands."
Mila doesn't say anything else after that though. She simply attempts to try to sense where Azumi is. She looks like she's standing there listening for something, even if she doesn't really hear anything. Almost like her senses are slowly getting better by the minute. When Mila thinks she's got a sense of where Azumi is, she attempts to deliver a swift roundhouse kick, heel first.

Satisfied in having quelled the attack, Jira resumes her guarded stance. Knees bent, arms down to her waist with hands forward and open. Only listening to what made sense, Jira smiles... not like any of the fighting present can see.
Jira's not used to fighting like this, but her partner is. The swishing sound of a broom has her bracing for the hit. Once the cleaning implement hits her, Jira has all the information she needs to grab onto the broom and raise up her left leg and send a brutal, energy-sodden kick to where the most mass adjoined to the broom was. In this instance, Naerose's chest. She releases her grip on the broom once the hit connects and shifts again into her guard.
"Distracted?" they ask in a curious, yet dissatisfied tone.
Well this is a first for Naerose. "I can't believe I'm losing to an apple," She comments after getting knocked back again. She's really feelnig it too. "An Apple!" she exclaims and then shakes her head doing a single spin in place, dragging one toe before the ground beneath her glows in a strange glyph.
"Soshite!" Apparently she uses other langauges sometimes.
"Tsuki-ten, Suisei-ten, Kinsei-ten, Taiyou-ten, Kasei-ten, Mokusei-ten, Dosei-ten, Kousei-ten, Gendou-ten-" And really it almost seems like nothing is happening initially as she makes broad sweeping gestures with her arms with each word, except then there is the falling burning spheres of energy,
"It's hard to miss with Starfall!" Naerose exclaims with a grin.
Azumi isn't having much luck as it seems this woman is more versed in blinded combat than she is. Then again, only one of them had to deal with a complete body transformation...she assumed. Anything was possible I guess, but it's extremely unlikely. Getting back to the fight at hand though, the elbow catches air, as her opponent had already moved and seemed to be about ready to kick her again. Sensing the shifting of the sand nearby, she raises a hand to parry the foot by the ankle and blow it aside, hopefully sending the woman off balance.
Leaving very little time for her opponent to recover, the werewolf rushes in and bites Mila in the shoulder, but only for a second as she runs by and yanks her head down, having the intention of spinning Mila on her feet. If that worked out properly, she follows up with a firece hook to the face from the opposite direction of the spin.

Mila doesn't know what's going on... or that she's even fighting a werewolf! It's not until she feels the strange pain in her shoulder does she tighten herself up and assume a defensive stance. The pain in her shoulder is mostly trivial compared to what could've happened if her other arm hadn't been raised to protect her face. A mere strike compared to what could have hurt even more. "Wait a minute, did you just try to BITE me? You're so lucky this isn't an officially sanctioned MMA fight, or you'd be getting disqualified right about now!"
And then her instincts take over, almost like she's forgotten about being blindfolded and is attempting to pretend this is just a normal fight, using her belief as to where her opponent is and how she feels the whole thing is set up as a way of trying to keep things going normally. In this case, she attempts to tackle into Azumi, and if successful, take her down in a standard MMA fashion.

Still not seeming to be as confused as she should be.. maybe she's ignoring the nonsensicality of her foe? This suddenly turns to dread.. chanting is never -ever- good. Especially not when there's that disgusting chi energy that neither Jira nor her partner want to deal with. Thus, there's only one answer. Cross their arms and crouch down and summon up all of the natural energy Jira's body puts out and. OW!
Despite her stance and ability to guard against the attack, Jira's made a deep impression in the sand and fervantly brushes her arms, looking a little ill.
Quickly Jira springs up to her feet and rushes at her foe, where the residue of chi was the strongest, and plants her closest foot into the sand, then twists her body around and aiming to get a nice knee strike in somewhere high on her foe's body. Ideally her neck or shoulder, whichever works.

There are fighting senses that causes people to move and know and sense and whatever-! The fact is Naerose just happens to bend down to listen for the sound that usually accompanies causing the sky to fall and that is sizzling. Usually whatever she calls that hell fire on doesn't get back up, so she's a little surprised to instead hear movement and maybe just by dumb luck (who knows really) happens to be bending down and the strike just wizzes right on past her. She turns with a gasp and then says,
"Bad apple! End Creation!" and palm out tries to blast where she probably assumes said bad apple went.
Azumi seemed to be getting the hang of this girl's very stocky movements. She grins when Mila complains about the bite, again, choosing to remain silent for the time being and letting her opponents work themselves into overdrive trying to keep track of her movements. It wasn't much, but it was something. Catching onto the MMA fighter's footwork, she simply front flips over Mila's advance, lettering her grab air for once. She lands on the sand behind her and suddenly gets...an idea.
She charges a bit of her chi into her hands and claps them together, starting a whirlwind about where the other woman had probably stopped her grapple once she realized her opponent was no longer there. At that moment, the whirlwind bursts upward, sending the girl spiraling into the air. Azumi leaps up after them and latches on, grabbing Mila by the midsection and joining her spin. The werewolf wrenches the both of them back, hoping the spinning would disorient Mila enough to not realize that they were both headed to the ground, head first. Right before impact Azumi escapes, pulling herself into a series of backflips before sticking the landing.

Mila doesn't know where Azumi has gone, and thinks she's still in front of her. A mistake that could've been costly, as Mila finds herself caught by Azumi and hitting the ground headfirst, rather hard no less. She finds herself with a bit of a headache. She'd also be seeing stars if she could see, but as it stands, she's just got a bit of pain in her head, and she forces herself back up onto her feet. She tries to figure out where Azumi is by listening once again. "Seems I got a bit too cocky there, but everyone makes mistakes."
Is she really talking to Azumi or just to nobody where she thinks Azumi is? Mila doesn't know, but she does attempt to go in with a firm body blow in hopes of reinforcing her point about making mistakes.

Jira's frazzled and off center, probably why her kick missed. They make a mental note to build up some way to compartmentalize pain into immediate fuel. As Jira's knee misses, the glowing layer of psi over her body fades, leaving only her limbs alight with her energy's glow. Unfortunately, this leaves her in NO position to stop the next attack, only registering it enough to draw her hands up and get hit head-on, sent into a long backwards stagger, that ends with her falling forward and onto her face... her breasts might have contributed to this eerie faceplant more than anything else.
Is she even breathing?
Ooooh no, Nae isn't falling for that this time. See she's started to realize something about this apple. It's more than just an apple. Apples are sweet and delicious and definately do not hurt this much, I mean yes you can eat a frozen apple and that might hurt and then there are those crab apples you shouldn't eat (but she probably would anyway) and then there is how apple pie goes bad really quickly and gets kind of moldy, but you can totally scrape the mold off and it's fine right? Not this apple though, it's the most meaniest craziest apple she ever met. So she tries to zero in on the spot where said apple landed and pokes it with her broom to see if it's still mean or if it's tasty yet.
Naerose is probably going to try to eat Jira and end up in an awkward situation where she realizes that's not cool.
Azumi knows just what sort of attack she just landed and knows that now that she seems to have the advantage, to press it as much as possible. Mila's punch is right on the money, but the ninja minimizes this by letting it brush past her chest while readying a punch of her own. She crouches down as she stays in close and leaps upward with her fist extended, doing the best impression of a shoryuken this side of a shotokan school.
A shoryuken? Mila's heard of it, but wouldn't know that's what it was supposed to be since she can't see it.
Nevertheless, Mila gets hit and goes stumbling backwards a little, before landing on her rear. Then she gets up and dusts herself off. "Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark," Mila says as she advances on where she believes Azumi is now. She attempts to reach out and grab for Azumi with one hand. If she's successful, she'll hold the woman with one hand, while the other hand delivers a swift punch to her temple.

Still... so totally still. Jira's not moving at all, not even when her hungry, apple-obsessed foe moves in and pokes her with a stick. Jira's not out yet, maybe soon, but not yet! After that hearty poke she reaches her hand up and grabs the broom. She pulls on it HARD to get to her feet, and to pull Naerose into an impromptu hug, filled with cushy boob-y goodness. That's before she lets out a couple tears that Akabara can't hold back and projects a large bubble of white light... and to Nae, if she doesn't escape, pain and the cries of torment and torture. Lots of pain, and noise, and to everyone else, light covers space enough for two... for about ten seconds which is where Jira stands and sets her foe unto their feet... or just, y'know, stands up.
At this point, she looks like she's barely able to be on her feet, a few dribbles of glowing, white liquid start coming from her nose.

To be entirely serious, what was Nae supposed to do? She was poking an apple to see if it was okay, so I mean, what do you BLARG. The Apple is not fried! The apple is not cooked, the apple is.. Doing something and the apple is.. Kind of soft?
"I knew this apple was rotten.." She says as she is released from the hug with burning lots of burning, but on her way down she gives the apple a parting shot. Literally a parting shot. She sends a flurry of those icy darts in the air after the apple before landing in a heap of dust and sand that makes a little cloud around the witch. On the plus side, at least she can take off her blind fold.. er.. sooner or later.

Azumi seems to be kicking back and taking up temporary residence inside of the 'Zone' because she seems to be on point right now. When she lands from the punch, her ears flutter open to their maximums, anticipating the next attack. And as soon as she overhears that comment and the pressure of the sands nearby, she raises a single hand in the direction that Mila seemed to be. As soon as her hand approaches, she parries it, again slapping it out of the air as she brings up a foot and tries again.
She spins around and delivers a mighty roundhouse kick, aiming for where Mila's face was, but instead of following it up with a second roundhouse, she pulls her foot back and executes a flash kick, somersaulting backwards while moving forwards, again aiming for her opponent's face.

Somehow, Mila's senses come back up again because she raises her hands and is able to protect herself for the time being while finding her arms taking most of the damage. "This is getting to be a rather challenging fight, I'll give it that," Mila comments as she tries to use the sensation from the attack to try to deduce where Azumi is now. She tries to go in and deliver a simple takedown-style throw, almost as if to indicate she's not done yet.

At this range, there's no way Jira can prevent herself being hit from the icy attack from her foe, wincing and staggering.
"I thought I said that was.. bad." Jira's about to faceplant again, the glow in her limbs rapidly fading. There's only one thing left for her to do, and that's punch the daylights out of the last opponent to help her team. But it's getting a bit difficult to see and everything, well without the use of eyes to begin with. She stumbles over to Mila, hearing a very distorted mention of challenge. Jira looks ready to sling out an attack, but she trips on an errant seashell and spins through the air in her fall, trying to just grab at Mila's body -somewhere- and hold her still!

Azumi 1/---====/=======|=======\-------\1 Mila
Azumi didn't get enough time to land her last attack before she senses Mila's close proximity. Knowing her opponent was a grappler, she braces for a grab, and sure enough, Mila comes at her with one. She flings a hand out towards the sand as she hits it, absorbing the shock of the throw before she expertly tumbles out of the way and rolls back to her feet. She starts to pant for breath after this, knowing full well that this fight was beginning to tax her strength. Her opponent likely isn't doing much better though.
She stands up straight for a moment and takes a deep breath, channeling her willpower for this next attack that she couldn't even see. She claps her hands together once hard and stomps her foot, draining herself of her chi and planting the beginnings of a tornado at Mila's feet. After a second, the tornado erupts into a tall column of air that forces Mila up with it, whirling her around generally causing quite a bit of disorientation. Azumi controls the tornadow at this point, throwing her hands up...and around in a lazy circle, with the tornado following suit. After a few seconds of airtime though she brings both of her hands down and brings the maelstrom down with it, slamming Mila into about the same spot she had taken flight from, letting her opponent deal with sticking the landing. The winds from the tornado dispurse, blowing out the candles in the medusa statue as well as rock any nearby foilage.
Not being able to fight because wow fighting hurts and Nae is utterly exhausted, well that doesn't mean she's actually taking a dirt nap. In fact it means that she finally has an excuse to be lazy. After a moment she sits up a bit and pulls something out of her hat, it's a bag of those gummies you get from Japan-nese imports with fruits in the middle, those things are the BOMB. They're better if you freeze them first, which Nae hasn't done, despite giving a healthy dose of freezing to Jira, anyway, she starts popping them in her mouth.
" Oh man this is tasty." She says.

Azumi 0/-------/-------|=======\==-----\1 Mila
Not sure what to expect here, Mila simply raises her arms in a defensive stance and finds herself being hit hard once again. Yet she still remains standing but her steadiness is starting to give out. Not to mention, having been fighting without being able to see does take its toll after awhile. She's starting to forget where everything is and is almost starting to feel like she might be losing her mind a little. Nonetheless, Mila toughs it out, attempting to use a hook punch where she believes Azumi to be.

[ \\\\\\\\ < > ///////////// ]
Azumi 0/-------/-------|=======\==-----\1 Mila
Jira, now utterly unconscious, looks very... probably concernfully still in the sand. Until her arm jerks up in the air like a puppet being janked, and pulling her blindfold free in the next action... and half-donning her shades to watch the last of the fight sideways in the sand. If Jira were conscious, she'd be dry-wretching from all this chi. Luckily, Akabara can handle it from here.
Azumi is quite surprised that her target seems to have not only survived eating all of that, but is still coming at her. She must be quite the beefcake, for sure. Never the less, she needs to take some time out herself if she's going to survive this battle. She leaps backwards from Mila and lands a good few feet away, entirely evading the jab as it was coming at her. She stands up straight and collapses her fingers over one another, leaving only the pointer finger and her middle finger extended. She takes another deep breath and starts to channel her chi, a stiff wind blowing from her current spot. A sudden burst of wind also erupts from that area, perhaps signaling that this was going to be a very quick charging session.
COMBATSYS: Azumi gathers her will.

Azumi 1/------=/=======|=======\==-----\1 Mila
Mila isn't aware of what Azumi's doing really. She can't see, remember? Still, she senses where her opponent is somehow, and decides that there's no time like the present to try to finish things off. She takes a few steps forwards, almost like she's trying to move around while using her sense of hearing to try to identify where her opponent is. Then she attempts to do a leaping forwards knee strike.
It occurs to Nae a little while later she can take off her blindfold too, and does, then adjusts her shades and moves to the side of the area.
"Huh, everyone is wearing swimming suits," She says, in her dress, then adds, "I could swim in this." She decides and sits down on the edge to munch on her jellies and watch the battle that is going on, or get distracted by a bird.

Azumi 1/----===/=======|=======\==-----\1 Mila
Azumi manages to get the block off, but she knew that this was going to come down to how well she could move under duress, as her body had taken enough damage during this fight to be problematic. She's still panting to catch her breath when the meaty kick comes in, the ninja bracing her arms down to block the next attack, which sends her back a few feet in the sand, scratching those weird, digitrade feet of hers.
Knowing it was now or never takes that space that she was just forced to take and gets back into close combat again, leaping high into the air and using jets of air from her hands, comes down with a dive kick on top of Mila's head, her toe-claws extended outwards for maximum damage.

Azumi 1/---====/=======|=======\===----\1 Mila
With her senses on alert, Mila could somehow sense the movements of her opponent, and she thought she could avoid her. But it wasn't to be. Mila gets hit in the head as Azumi intended, albeit in a slight manner since Azumi only hits part of her head. Now starting to feel a bit more like she's really starting to lose it, Mila decides to try to react instantly. She crouches down then attempts to pop up with a swift uppercut. Whether she connects is anyone's guess!

Azumi 1/---====/=======|==-----\-------\0 Mila
Azumi's foot didn't land on point, but rather than abort the kick and land on the ground, she lands her other foot on Mila's shoulders and frontflips away, avoiding the uppercut as it tried to reach her and she was again behind her opponent. She takes this time to charge a bit more of her chi into her hand to form a rather large shuriken, when she then throws directly into the back of her opponent and keeping her distance from her for now.

Azumi 1/--=====/=======|==-----\-------\0 Mila
Almost like an instinct, Mila's hand shot up quickly, somehow sensing where the attack was coming from. As soon as she felt the pain from deflecting the attack, Mila quickly spins around. "I've got you now... I think!" She tries to come in quickly again, this time attempting another MMA style takedown. From the way she's moving, it looks like she's in a bit of pain, yet she's not letting it stop her.
"Awww." Naerose comments, because she's out of her gummies now. She takes off her hat again to rummage around inside and comes up with a comic book. She decides to read it even though it seems to be missing pages and only occasionally looks up at the match. Off handedly she remarks,
"It's a good think one of them is clearly a werewolf or I'd be confused about whose who right now." She's probably taken a few too many hits from Jira.

Azumi somersaults sideways as she hears the woman make her way back over towards her. She spirals out of the way of the grapple, landing somewhat nearby. She's still panting though, as this was a bloody exhausting battle! The werewolf rights herself, sticking the landing before keeping the chi-factory going by throwing a pretty nice sized punch right about where the girl's chest should be. A small cyclone of wind brims around her wrists, aiming to do as much damage as possible.

Azumi 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|====---\-------\0 Mila
Somehow, Mila's senses return long enough for her to grab the arm and administer another rolling arm lock. "Looks like I got you this time!" She says as she administers the forwards roll then the bending of the arm. She gets up slowly, wondering if Azumi will come after her again...
Azumi couldn't keep up the dodging forever; she was fantastically tired. Her punch was easily read, and Mila's reactions were spot on, catching her arm and bringing it down into another lock. She whines in pain at that final time, finally not having the energy or the will to get back up. She does take this exact last moment to hopefully land a similarly damaging blow. Using her other arm and gathering all of her chi, She flings a minor hurricane of wind at Mila, blowing her upwards into the sky....same as before but no where near as directed. She'd likely travel a good ways up before coming right back down on to the sand below.
"D-d-damnit...I pushed myself too far. Your defenses are...insane..."

"It's normal," Mila replies as she assumes her defensive stance one last time, almost like she's starting to grow tired of guessing and is just playing it safe. It hurts and she almost goes into the air, but only a little. It's almost like a short jump, but the rise causes her to lose her balance and then fall on the ground again. This time, though, Mila knows that there's no more fighting, so she simply gives a slight thumbs up. She doesn't remove her blindfold though, not wanting to risk offending Medusa or anything like that.
COMBATSYS: Mila has ended the fight here.
