But as Chaya does, you see her blazing golden aura contract, tightening around her body as she takes on her version of your Energy Body. Kaliflor smirks, then charges in, ferociously slashing with her newly-made energy weapons.
“Look out sis!” Karn Jr calls up to her worriedly. “Don't let her cut you!”
“Nah, big sis'll be fine.” Maz says confidently, yet you see him sitting on the edge of his seat. “Go get her Chaya!”
“Hrmm...” you mutter, watching the woman's fighting style completely change. Gone are the kicks and knee strikes, focusing exclusively on using her bladed limbs to attack. Her strikes are ferocious and swift, yet still not beyond your daughter's defensive capabilities. Your daughter focuses entirely on evasion and counter blows, not bothering to test her Energy Body's strength against the flashing claws and instead relying on her Su Ma even more. Flipping, twisting, and spinning past the other woman's slashes.
However, as Kaliflor presses the attack, you begin to see a pattern to her attack. Every dash in is led with either a wide, sweeping right slash, or a blindingly fast left thrust of her claws aimed at your daughter's chest. From there she deviates into different strikes, different slashes, backhanded slashes, uppercuts, and overhead rakes, but each attack starts with either of those two attacks. For a moment you wonder why, wondering if those are the only moves she knows to open her attack, but as she demonstrates more and more varied slashes with her claws, realize the truth. It's not that she doesn't have more opening attacks, but she's trying to convince Chaya those are the only openings she knows. No doubt to bait her with a feint as the fight goes on.
“I see.” you mutter as Kaliflor continues her frenzied attacks. Your daughter flips and spins around her various slashes and swipes, landing her own strikes after three or four strikes each time. With every blow Chaya lands she sends Kaliflor flying, recovering after a few moments and dashing back in for one of her two opening attacks. This pattern repeats for a couple minutes, until as Kaliflor dashes in you feel something different. The tension in the air changes, she's going to try it. This is the time.
“HAAAAAA!!” Kaliflor bellows, dashing in and making as if she's about to charge in with another flying right. Chaya moves, predicting the blow once more. But this time Kaliflor feints, stopping her right and twisting clockwise with a turning left kick. However, your daughter was still ready, catching Kaliflor's ki blade-shrouded leg in both shielded hands. “What?!”
“Come on now, did you really think I wouldn't be able to see through such an obvious trick?” Chaya taunts, flipping and dragging the woman along before pitching her straight down.
