Description: Target: Seijyun High girls. Obstacle: Pink Haired Hero. Alias: Amy. Summary: Seijyun High is a land of rich opportunity for a wouldbe theif. Everything is going smoothly until... SUDDENLY PINK DEATH FROM ABOVE. Which is to say, Mignon. Ayame has no compunctions toying with the girl's emotions, trying to force the hopelessly optimistic and heroic girl to realize that the world sucks, people suck, and Ayame is taking your stuffs. It doesn't quite turn out as planned.
Seijyun High is a great place for Ayame to mingle with girls she has nothing in common with but pretends to. Wealth breeds laziness and dull witted minds as far as the girl is concerned. Not that she would be like that if she was ever wealthy. It's just other people, of course. Dressed in school uniform that perfectly matches the expensive, high class uniforms worn by the girls here, the red-blonde haired girl has been able to wander the halls fairly easily, pilfering anything in sight that looks valuable that isn't locked down.
Becoming randomly gregarious and friendly toward girls, she'll shake their hands and walk off with their valuable braclets or a ring or two. She's chatty when she needs to be, indifferent or quiet when she desires not to stand out. By the time people realize they've been robbed, Ayame has already walked along some ways, disappeared around a corner, or vanished down a long hall, never staying in one place for long.
As she walks by one girl, she swipes a long, blue hair ribbon from her pony tail and starts to weave it into her own hair, tying it into a large bow at the top of her head. Smirking, she continues along, slipping more and more things into that expensive travel bag she has around her shoulder. "Ah, too easy," she remarks as she goes on the look out for any quality targets.
Yes. Seijyun High! The greatest school EVER. And Mignon is skipping about it after her amazing upset victory in Metro, that she visited. And Mignon doesn't really know there's a thief on the loose! She's heading through the hallways like any others. And just another girl, she seems simply enough. How happy she is! Another, happy, smiley, ... odd looking female. Her clothes are dressed as if she was the star of some show.
And here she comes, Ayame, down the hall, bouncing towards you! She doesn't notice anything wrong, especially not with what she has with her, and her own hair is mostly devoid of such things. Ninon wears the ribbon! She does have weird looking baubles on her wrists and legs.. but they're around her wrists and legs, and are quite large.
And Mignon approaches the woman as she comes down the hall! "Hiiiiiii~! Mignon's so happy to see you!" She just randomly blurts out, smiling wide, and just being attracted to the woman LIKE THAT. "Mignon's never seen you before, ooh, ooh, Mignon bets you're new here! Mignon's happy to see more people, who are new like her! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"
Ooooh. "What's all this stuff? Mignon's never seen all that stuff before, Mignon bets it's hard to carry around that much stuff!"
Hopping terror at 3 o'clock! Ayame glances toward the girl bouncing with glee that comes down the hallway toward her. The smile she returns Migon's greeting with may be slightly strained but close enough to seem sincere to pass most inspections.
"Hello," she replies, bowing demurely in return, "Mignon is it? It's nice to meet you. It just so happens that I am new here... My name is Amy." She straightens up, eyes widening a little as the pink haired girl zeros in on that travel bag she's packing. Drawing the bag up a little and pulling it closed, 'Amy' forces a fake laugh, "Ah, ha. Just school stuff, that's all." Well, it was OBTAINED on school, anyway...
The younger girl must be a freshman, she muses, based on her height and apparent young age. Ayame probably passes as a Senior, herself. Though she has been known to make herself look younger by adjusting her hair style or donning large, eye-enhancing glasses that tend to subtract a year or two from her appearance.
"Well, it was nice to meet you, Mignon." she speaks, her tone friendly enough. But Mignon is loud, and loud draws attention. She needs to get away fast. "I bet I'll see you around at all the clubs and activities and stuff..." And with that, she turns around to start walking back the way she came... only to notice one of the girls she swiped a money clip from coming in her direction. Erk.
Hm, hm. Time to think fast. "Do you know that girl?" Ayame asks, pointing toward the incoming student, trying to distract Mignon for a split second... Slipping her hand into the back travel bag, she withdraws the small money clip, reaches out and tries to slip the money clip right onto Mignon's black headband, maybe without the smaller girl even noticing!
What? Mignon doesn't look at the smiles! She assumes they're there. Especially with Mignon nearby! How can anyone not be!? It should be illegal, and Mignon would do the sentence.. WITH SMILES. And Smilies. Mignon loves them smilies.
But as the woman bows in return, Mignon bobs back and forth, smiling all the time, nodding. "Mhmm! Mignon's Mignon alright, and Mignon's so happy to meet you, Amy! Mignon's made another friend! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" She cries out, bouncing about Amy and skipping about. "Ooooh. School stuff? Well Mignon's never had to carry THAT much. But Mignon understands!" Well, she's never done too well.
And Ayama is taaaaller. And Mignon's certainly kind of young. Oh yes. Very young! And with Amy speaking about how it's nice to meet her, Mignon blinks a bit.. "Mignon's ... just MET you. Mignon's not ready to just leave you yet! Come back, Mignon's still got lots of things to talk abo-" She flails, following Amy until another girl comes down the hall, Mignon twirling and nearly collapsing. "Uhhhh.. Mignon knows everyone! Because Mignon is HELPING EVERYONE when she can! Mignon's going to help find world peace you know! And she'll fight for it if she needs to also. Because Mignon is-" While she's ranting, the money clip clips to her headband, and Mignon twirls, making it obvious to the other girl, who confronts Mignon! "WH-What?! MIGNON DOESN'T STEAL ANYTHING MIGNON IS NOT A THIEF." She stomps the ground.
Distracctiiooon.
Mignon's very happy. Too happy. The pure joy washing off the smaller, pink haired girl is almost sickening. At the very least, it's quite grating. Ayame's eyebrow twitches slightly, though she maintains her own forced smile in spite the incredible challenge Mignon presents with regards to maintaining it.
But then there's a third girl in the equation. Black haired, Junior the girls call Krissy - a prissy twist on her real name of Kristina. Krissy spots the money clip on Mignon's headband pretty much immediately and scowls darkly. "THEIF! I knew it, you little spaz!"
Ayame just stands off to the side a little, folding her arms over the front of her as she smirks at the exchange. Maybe Mignon won't be so joyous now that she's been accused of something she didn't do. Why, maybe this will even get escalated to the principal! Of course the ne'er-do-well, Ayame, will be long gone by then anyway... But in this instant, she senses opportunity. A chance to ruin the nice little girl's day. Clipping the money clip to her headband was just 'business'. But what comes next? That's pleasure.
Gasping as she pretends to be surprised at Krissy's accusation, she looks aghast as she points at Mignon as well, "Mignon! How could you!" before she nods decisively toward the black haired girl, "Don't worry, I won't let her get away!" Aah, this is too rich. Ayame struggles to avoid smirking as she reaches out to try and grab hold of Mignon's arm and twist the poor girl down to the ground by locking her arm behind her back. Let's see how cheerful Mignon will be now!

And that's about all Mignon has, because Ayame's eyebrows twich, and the Junior girl spots the clip. Mignon doesn't see it yet. "HEY. Mignon did NOT steal anything! Mignon never steals.. how could Mignon get world peace if she didn't WORK TOWARDS IT!?" She argue, but in the end, well. Mignon is not happy at all, and Mignon is NOT TOO HAPPY. It's just enough. Hmmph.
And that's about when Ayame gasps, pointing, Mignon blinks. "What did Mignon do now!?" And that's about when Ayame grabs her arm and twists her on the ground, locking it behind her back! "OWWWWW!" Mignon cries out, twisting and struggling.
And Mignon is certain, now, of what's going on. "Mignon is .. not .. stealing anything .. Mignon MAYBE fell onto it or found it but .. ooof.. Mignon did NOT take anything.. Mignon would never do that.." And to Ayame?
Mignon gets a grip towards her middle. Because Mignon, on the ground, thinks something is FISHY. Mignon never took that .. so the only one else with it was..
GASP.
"MIGNON IS NOT A THIEF BECAUSE SOME ONE ELSE MUST BE! And Mignon bets it MIGHT be uh ..." Blink. Blink. And then she grasps for Ayame's hand. "LIGHTNING BOLT!" Electricity courses through to send Ayame spinning, and spiralling, away from her!
.. Well, Mignon's not sure WHO did it but she NEVER DID see that girl before...

Mignon 0/-------/---====|====---\-------\0 Ayame
Poor Mignon. Innocent as anyone in the world could possibly be. Yet accused of a crime all the same. Ayame has pulled the same stunt on others before. Those hopeless optimists, those annoying people that seem to be nothing but nice no matter what. She knows better than that. No one is that nice. It's just not possible. It just takes provoking them in the right way to bring out their nasty side. She's certain even Mignon has one... Just requires trying to find the right buttons to push.
"Gotcha," she smirks, dropping down to plant her knee in Mignon's back once she's got the poor girl on the ground. Other girls begin flocking to the scene of excitement. There are a number of fighters that go to school here after all, and sometimes impromptu bouts of combat can be the most action packed afternoon one could hope to see! "You really should be ashamed of yourself." she continues, just about to reach over and pluck the money clip out of the headband... but she doesn't quite get the chance.
What Ayame hadn't expected was that the pink haired girl had tricks of her own to unleash. Her wrist grabbed, she blinks, "Huh-?" and the next thing she knows she's being simultaneously blasted and flung away from capable girl, knocking against the wall pretty hard, eliciting a hiss of pain from her. Ow. Whatever that girl did packed a major /punch/. That was not something she wants to experience again at all.
She wants to reach into that bag she has yet to let go of an pull out some weapons... but if she comes back at Mignon with knives, that's going to look pretty suspicious as more and more girls gather around. "Did you see what she just did?!" Ayame challenges back. "Just having powers isn't enough. She has to flaunt them by using them to escape punishment for her crime!"
Admittedly, most of the crowd looks skeptical. A lot may not like Mignon much, but it doesn't take a genius to look at the girl and see that she isn't the criminal sort. The fake student frowns a little. If Mignon is allowed to plead her case, she might be able to convince too many of them of the truth. And there's nothing Ayame hates more than the truth!
Pushing off from the wall, she tries to attack the girl again, this time just trying to trip Mignon back down to the ground so that she can subdue her and do something to keep her from saying anything in her own defense. "Someone get a teacher!" Ayame yells as she swings her shoe-clad foot out toward the poor witch's ankles.

Mignon 0/-------/---====|====---\-------\0 Ayame
Mignon .. has a nasty side? Well. Maybe Ayame will be the first one to find it. Nevertheless, as Ayame drops down to plant her knee into Mignon's back, Mignon doesn't stay like that for long though! And Ayame doesn't stay like that for long either, because she's launched off against the wall, spinning.
Mignon kicks to her feet, and to the girl, Mignon grips at her hair. Ow ow ow!
Mignon can't worry about pain, and Mignon throws the money clip back to the girl. "Mignon didn't know she had it! Mignon never saw it before, but Mignon did just find it on her hair!" And Mignon tries to think of another way to say it, and not lie, but Mignon can't!
AND THAT'S when Ayame gets back up to her feet and starts to try and point at Mignon and make her the evil person, and the mean person! And the not nice person. "No no no no no nooooo! Mignon never hides that she's a witch! Mignon doesn't use her powers for anything but GOOD and Mignon thinks that-" THAT THERE IS A FOOT SLAMMING TOWARDS HER ANKLES.
But Mignon, being a witch, is all too ready for people trying to burn her, and leaping over, Mignon spins, landing on her feet as she turns about, to face Ayame's back.. and then begins to spin as well, baubles raised, as she advances towards Ayame! "Loop de loop~!" She cries, as she tries to smash the baubles into her as she yells out. "Mignon .. huff... MIGNON IS NOT A THIEF!" She pleads, whining almost. She's .. not .. a thief.
But why she's fighting back? She can't /plead her case/ if she's unconscious!

Mignon 0/-------/-======|=======\-------\0 Ayame
"Che," Ayame scowls as Mignon takes to the air, avoiding her strike cleanly and jumping over to land behind her. Where did she go? The disguised thief's brow furows as she glances back and forth, then finally realizes the squeaky sounds behind her are Mignon coming at her again. Whirling around, she tries to hop back out of range and let the girl run harmlessly by, but she didn't really understand the spinning nature of the attack well enough to predict Mignon's trajectory.
The attack crashes into her, knocking her stumbling against the wall a second time where she grunts. Leaning against it, she turns her head to the side to face Mignon, brown eyes narrowed a little. The little squirt is trickier than she thought... If only she could pull out something sharp and show her whatfor. But with all these other girls near by...? Prissy rich girls don't use knives stolen from Gedo High kids, after all.
But there is another weapon she can use - one that is a bit more elegant and less bloody. Ayame sloughs the bag off her shoulder, allowing it to drop to the floor right after pulling a metal tube from it. A button press on the half foot long tube causes it to extend into a full, six foot long titanium pole instead with a metallic, hydraulic hiss. Time to clonk the little poppet upside the head and put an end to this altercation!
"I think everyone knows the truth, Mignon. Denying it isn't going to help..." And then she's on the offense with that long weapon of hers. She has to be careful of how she swings it in a hallway like this, but as long as she stands just right and doesn't try spinning it over her head, she can probably fit her attacks in just barely. A red aura travels down the length of the weapon as Ayame spins the weapon vertically toward Mignon with her right hand, then her left hand, then back with her right again, leaving a wake of that red energy as well. Finally she finishes by stabbing out hard with it, leaning hard into the attack to deliver a finishing strike to Mignon's stomach. "Down you go!" she calls out.

"Geeze.. Mignon is TELLING the truth!" She explains, but that's about when Ayame grabs a metal tube .. and then a pole is created, and Mignon looks at it, blinking. "Aaah.. what are you going to do with that? Mignon's not sure that's very safe, miss." Mignon explains, before she INSISTS that Mignon did it. "Mignon did NOT do it." She exclaims with all her heart, before the WHIRLING STAFF OF DOOM COMES FORTH.
She can't get out of the way, too many students all over! And Mignon, poor Mignon, does not want to rush into them! And finally, it doesn't matter, because after a few beatings, Mignon's thrust away with the pole, rolling backwards and then slamming onto the ground. "Owww......" She finally blurts out, holding her head as things pin all around, yaaaaayy!
Before she gets up, slowly, and brushes herself off. "Mignon TOLD YOU. Mignon never steals anything, and Mignon only fights for what is right! And Mignon is fighting now because you attacked Mignon!" She exclaims with a rather pointed explanation for why! Because she's mean? No. Because Mignon thinks that Amy is ... A DIRTY LIAR.
"Mignon just KNOWS she's never seen you before and that must mean something! Mignon's smart you know, Mignon will figure it out!" ... What you expected her to ACTUALLY think of it? Geeze. That's alot to think about. She's not nearly that fast mentally! "Mignon is going to figure this out alright.. but right now, Mignon's going to make you stop hurting her, Amy!"
And flipping backwards, "FIRE!" The fireball crashes through the air, being created like that and just flying towards Ayame! Weeeeeeeee! It also .. doesn't set her hands on fire? "Wow.. Mignon's never done that before! Yaaaaaaaaay!"

Mignon 1/---====/=======|=======\===----\1 Ayame
The strikes hit home and Ayame thinks that's probably all the beating poor Mignon can take. This is a vicious, long weapon laced with explosive chi after all! Surely that's the end of her victim's ability to defend herse-... or not. Jeez. Fire and lightning and... what's next?! She raises her staff to try and intercept the fireball but it slips right by her defense and blasts into her chest, sending the girl reeling backward as she gasps for air, once again planted against the wall.
Struggling to keep standing after all that, she glares back at Mignon, biting her lower lip as she rapidly begins to reconsider this entire course of action. "Why you little..." she growls, pushing off from the wall, that big mean weapon still in her hands. One of the girls off to the side suddenly points at Ayame, "Hey - that's my hair ribbon!" she gasps, holding up her ribbonless pony tail for all the other students to see what she means.
Ayame grits her teeth. This whole situation is unraveling fast. Staggering backward, she reaches down to heft that heavy travel bag up onto her shoulder with her left hand, her right hand keeping a tight grip on her staff. The rest of the girls have stopped considering Mignon a suspect now... surely this face none of them have seen before is highly suspect. Glancing back and forth at the unhappy students, Ayame realizes the gig is up... and she needs to really consider getting the heck out of her. The only real threat to a clean escape is the little witch herself. That girl is way tougher than she thought. Watching Mignon more carefully, Ayame glares at her from behind the staff. "Just stay back if you don't want to get hurt. That goes for all of you!" she snaps at the other girls too.
"You can get her, Mignon!" Krissy calls out, no longer believing the pink haired one stole her money either.

And .. Mignon can get her? "Okay! Mignon knows everyone is believing in her, so HERE GOES MIGNON!" She exclaims, as Ayame just waits back ... waiting for her! Well, Mignon can't just hang back, and that's a thing that she knows alright! And with Ayame being a THIEF, Mignon .. realizes that now. "Y-YOU'RE A THIEF!?" Krissy, and the others, probably stare at Mignon now. "Mignon .. .MIGNON TRUSTED YOU AMY!" Mignon is all sad now, frowning and everything, and nearly wants to just leand down and just let Ayame go as she cries.. being so taken advantage of when she thought she made a friend!
But Mignon's not that weak! "Mignon ... is not going to let mean old thieves get away with these things!" She cries out this time, running towards Ayame! "Mignon will NOT LET YOU GO!"
And swinging her arms around, she just tries to beat again her with her fists! Just random, relentless wailing! It's not even AIMED right. Mignon is just flailing as hard as she can get away with! And she's doing it as best she can! "Mignon CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!"
Is Mignon .. FALLING RIGHT INTO HER TRAP?

Mignon 1/-======/=======|=======\=------\1 Ayame
If Ayame had half a heart she'd probably be feeling pretty bad about the situation she's put the young, would-be hero in here. Toying with her emotions. Pretending to be nice. Getting her called out as a thief. And then openly betraying that trust in the end. All the flailing little girl does is bring a smile to Ayame's mouth though - an unpleasant mockery of what should be a friendly expression. This situation may have been going south, but seeing the confused girl fall apart just made her day.
"Hmph. Guess people aren't as nice as you thought, are they." Ayame replies with a shrug. When Mignon comes in to try and strike out at her somewhat ineffectively, the staff weilding girl responds in turn by slamming the weapon out horizontally to stop the girl with a strike to the chest, followed by a spin and second strike into her side intended to knock her to the ground.
"But now you know. And if you don't want to get beat to a pulp, you should stay put." the girl retorts, glaring at the other gaggle of startled Seijyun students as well, pointing her staff in their direction as if warning them to keep their distance if they don't want their precious little heads smacked by six feet of titanium.
And then, turning around and flipping her long hair over her shoulder with a shake of her head, Ayame rests her staff on her shoulder and starts to walk down the hall, having turned her back on Mignon... But maybe she's underestimated what kind of beating the girl can take. She doesn't know she battled the rock-solid Brian Battler to the dust, after all. If she did, she'd really rethink this...
And as Ayame slams the weapon out towards Mignon, stopping her, she flails before collapsing onto the ground, slamming hard into the dust .. and twitching. Mignon's hurt alright, but Mignon's only laying face first! It's not THAT bad. Meanwhile, breathing in, Mignon stays face down. "Ooooooooooooooooow..." She says, as Ayame starts to walk out, slowly. And Mignon, oh Mignon, does not just WAIT for things to turn out. Mignon is a go getter.
And right now, she's GO GETTING Ayame. "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey wait. Mignon's not Done with you, missy!" Mignon exclaims, smiling happily.. and skipping a bit, which is odd, as she was on the ground a second ago. And as Ayame doesn't turn around, instead, Mignon has the PERFECT chance to start something! Which is having her arms and hands begin to jolt with electricity, over and over. And thicker. Far thicker than before..
"Mignon's not done with you just YET." And with that. Mignon jams both her hands into the small of Ayame's back. Mignon's happy usually. Very happy. But she just HATES injustice, and with how Ayame is handling things, she couldn't be anything but! And so .. Mignon is going to go out of her way to TRY and harm her. Just this once.
"Mignon is NOT LETTING YOU GO, THEIF!" Jamming those hands towards Ayame.. if they connect, Ayame would be spinning before. BAMF. Launched into the nearest wall! Mignon.. well.. Mignon would be sent rolling backwards a little bit. "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA-" SCORE. Right into the students. Like she was bowling!

Mignon 1/----===/=======|=======\=====--\1 Ayame
Fortunately for 'Amy', Mignon's JUSTICE SPEECH gives her time to realize that the pint sized hero isn't staying down like she had thought she would... She doesn't slow her pace, however, nor even look over her shoulder as she casually saunters along like she's not even paying attention. But that's the way the girl plays. Deception, lies, tricks... What you see is definitely not what you get when it comes to this one.
Mignon's brave charge is met with the thief whirling around on her heels at the last second, dropping that bag to the ground a second time as she brings that staff to bear. The upward, arching swing from the lower end is intended to stop Mignon's attack short before she even gets to land a hit, but her determination manages to get one hit through the defensive sweep, striking the girl in the ribs, shreading the side of the blue blazer from the impact...
But Ayame doesn't stop with that single sweep aimed for Mignon's chin meant to knock the small girl clean off her feet. She follows up by swinging the staff around a second time, the weapon glowing red again, as she sweeps up with a second hit followed by jumping up into the air just a little bring the weapon back down in almost a chopping motion intending to drive Mignon back down into the ground harshly.
Ayame lands and staggers, her left hand pressing against her ribs where she got struck, glaring at Mignon with a degree of ire that's at last working its way to the surface. "You don't know when to quit, do you. You really need to get a clue. You're in way over your head." she rants, trying to sound tough even as she backs up a couple of uncertain steps to stand next to her bag of spoils.
The rest of the girls begin holding their breath as Mignon gets smacked around. Is that the last of their little hero?!
The thief twirls around, and about at that time, Mignon's struck with the single sweep.. and then more and more swinging, the weapon glowing read as she brings it towards the head of Mignon, and that causes the pink haired girl to stagger a bit.. and well, almost collapse. Almost. Okay, she does, and no students are bowled over, either! Win win! But she has to get up, rubbing her head.
That's about, also, when Ayame finishes speaking. Mignon's all flustered. And Mignon is ALMOST down. It's hard for Mignon to stay up herself, and as Ayame tells her she doesn't know when to stop, and that she doesn't have a clue, Mignon nods. "Mhmm. That's right.. Mignon doesn't have a clue! Mignon NEVER gives up and NEVER SURRENDERS! Mignon will keeps going until all injustice in this world is stopped! And you, Amy, are PART of that evilllloooooo loookie birdiess..." Mignon staggers for a bit, twirling, before shaking herself to her senses again.
The girls would see close call after close call, but finally, Mignon raises her hand towards Ayame. "And Mignon is just NOT LIKING YOUR ATTITUDE! Mignon thinks you should smile more, and maybe be nicer, then maybe more people would like you! Because Mignon only sees someone mean and angry right now and Mignon really wants to see it elsewise!"
And that's about when Mignon begins to gather chi in her hands like some kind of giant ball. It grows larger and larger, and finally, Mignon points the ball towards Ayame.
"Mignon .. didn't want to have to resort to this..." She exclaims.. BEFORE WHAT FORMS IS... " GO METEOR!" And like a cannon, the rock like mass of chi is rocketing towards Ayame at an incredibly high velocity and power!
MEANWHILE. With that same power, Mignon is POWERING .. backwards, rolling far far back and splaying out with a trash can overturning on her. "Owwwwwww... owowowoowow.... ewwwwww what's this... OH GROSSS." Evil fighting is just .. so hard.

Mignon 0/-------/-----==|====---\-------\0 Ayame
This time Ayame hasn't turned her back on the smaller girl. Mignon just keeps... Mignon'ing and there doesn't seem to be any end to it in spite her best efforts. Not liking her attitude? Well, it seems that she's gotten the little girl upset, but not in quite the way she intended. Rather than making Mignon give up hope in humanity, she seems to have just strengthened her resolve to see this through no matter how many times she gets clonked on the head.
Mouth twitching a little, Ayame can see the build up in energy from the other girl and reacts in kind as she begins to spin her staff rapidly in front of her. It isn't just as a shield though, as once again the weapon lights up with red, blurring chi forming a swirling, defensive wake around her. "Aaaaaaah!" she exclaims as she pulls from the world around her to form the defensive barrier...
And then the large sphere blasts against her defense, clashing against her own energy with far more power than Ayame had predicted. The two fizzle each other out faster than she realizes as she swings her weapon out to the side at last with the intent to send what enemy remains out toward Mignon only... to find that all that energy she poured into the attack is already spent. Blinking at her non-colorful-glowy staff, Ayame drops forward onto her knees, the staff clanking against the floor beneath her hands as she gasps, having exhausted herself with an attack that never even got off the ground.
"Your talent with energy manipulation is... not bad." the stubborn theif finally allows between gasps of breath, perspiration rolling down her temples and cheeks as she's been thoroughly worn out trying to fend off the valiant hero. A few breaths later and she starts to push herself back up, using her staff for support almost like a walking stick now as she leans against it.
She isn't going to be able to make a clean escape at this rate. It's time to think trickier. "How about... I give back everything and we'll call it even. That sounds fair, right?" Maybe she's just stalling... playing on the gulible girl?
And as Mignon gets up... she stares out at the other woman.. what was she doing.. oh no. THE METEOR!? Mignon looks on, rubbing her head, and forcing herself up. "Owww... Mignon should have went with making herself feel better.." She says, before she looks towards Ayame, blinking... "Wowwww... that was pretty bright. Mignon's seen things like that that are bright! Like lights, and the sun, and all kinds of things!" And as Ayame finally is done preventing the assault... Mignon is congratulated? "Mignon .. is a witch! She knows spells, mhmm, so Mignon doesn't know what you're talking about with energy! Mignon doesn't use that, that'd be silly!"
Nodding happily, Mignon watches as she gasps.. Mignon's not tired either, but she IS getting there, and so Mignon tries again! If the first doesn't succeed, try try again! And that's about when she asks to give everything back and call it even.
that would work. Had she gave up a while ago. "NU-UH. YOU'RE LIE AGAIN!" Mignon is sure of it. She's stubborn when she wants to be. And right now, Mignon is as far in the mud as THREE STICKS. And with all of her big ones gone, Mignon's all out of tricks.. OR IS SHE.
So when the thief gasps for breathe, Mignon.. GOES IN FOR THE KILL!
"Mignon will take care of you Amy, for all the peace in the world, because you're a liar liar PANTS ON FIRE!" She PPHHHBBBTS and then.. "DIVINE WIND SPIRIT!" Spinning backwards, and sending a funnel of air towards Ayame, a big blast of wind that erupts down the hallways towards her, blowing papers, schoolgirl skirts..
AND AIR.
Imagine that, a chi storm blowing AIR.
COMBATSYS: Ayame blocks Mignon's Windstorm.

Mignon 0/-------/-----==|=====--\-------\0 Ayame
Drat. Mignon isn't so easily swayed anymore. She's out for BLOOD!! Or, well, maybe a well deserved detention at least! She calls herself a witch? That's... interesting. Ayame has for energy manipulation. She knows it when she sees it. And so far... the most impressive thing is that Mignon has been able to force a number of elements into existence. Lightning, fire... and yikes, now wind too? The compliment wasn't that Mignon could keep flinging it but rather that her mastery of elemental chi is better than the light haired girl has ever seen.
Tensing her muscles, she bunkers down behind her staff, allowing the sturdy weapon to weather the worst of the small cyclone sent her way. The blast smashes her guard, sending her stumbling back as she just barely manages to remain standing. The metal tip of the staff clangs against the floor, supporting the worn out girl as she gasps for breath, breathing through her mouth as she looks back at Mignon a bit nervously now.
"Fine," she growls, "You asked for this." Rising up to her full height, she hefts that staff and CHARGES Mignon, swinging the weapon every which way. The attack is clumsy, her body struggling to keep going, but with how she just keeps swinging, if Mignon is unlucky in getting out of the way, the poor girl is going to be in for a world of trouble. "I'm sick and tired of girls like you, with all their talk of justice and doing the right thing. It's so fake it makes me nauseous! It can't possibly be real!" she shouts as she keeps on swinging, jabbing, and going all out with trying to clobber poor Mignon.

As The staff slams into Mignon, Mignon thrusts herself forwards! And well... there's not much to say about this. Mignon spins towards Ayame, and at that time, Mignon is slammed by the staff. And then she crashes to the ground, struck hard on with each strike before being flung into a trash can.
Mignon doesn't even have any time to do anything.
She's just out.
Some justice seeker she is!
The vicious assault elicits a gasp from the student body that's gathered around to watch this battle carried out. The girls have already started murmuring among each other about the nefarious theif in their midst that Mignon battled to a standstill until having been struck viciously after a Ayame tried to bluff her way out of this mess in the end.
At last she's dropped the little witch into the trash, however. "Hmph," the girl grunts, leaning forward against her staff for support, she scans the mob of Seijyun girls that have gathered around and realizes... there's no way she's fighting her way out of this with the condition she's in now.
Back peddaling rapidly, she presses a button on that staff of hers, causing it to collapse back down to a far more portable size. Her hands dart into that heavy back of STOLEN GOODS she was carrying around and withdraws a couple other indescernably small objects that she stuffs into her blazer pockets. The other weapons she had had in there. "All your stuff is in this bag!" the girl yells at the encroaching mob. "Better get it before someone else claims your things first!"
And with that, she abandons the bag behind on the floor, hopping up to step on one girl's shoulder and then run across the headtops of the rich girls to get to the other side of the mob, landing with a pained gasp as her feet touch down.
Some of the girls notice her getting away, but most of them are mobbing onto the bag itself, each wondering if their own things were in there. Running away as only a craven thief knows how, Ayame is outta there!
COMBATSYS: Ayame has ended the fight here.
