Path of the Hunters - NSFW

She easily dodged, grabbed the blade as it passed, and held it in a reverse-grip. She then charged in, looking to slash at the dog's chest.

Aurélie let the blade go through, sweeping the echidna's legs out from under her.

She quickly dropped the knife, grabbed her dress, bringing the dog with her.

She tumbled, landing on her feet easily.

She quickly got to her own feet as well, reset. By now, some students were muttering about that last exchange. They could have sworn they saw the knife pass through Aurélie like it was never there...

Aurélie shifted her stance, studying the echidna. This was better, so... The dog made the first move this time, aiming her fist for Elesis's gut.

Elesis shifted to the side, grabbed her wrist. She brought her other elbow to smash into her face.

The dog ducked, brought her hand around to punch Elesis in the side of her head. She managed to free her arm and brought her own elbow hard into the echidna's back.

The echidna ducked down, rolled behind Aurélie, sweeping her feet out from under her.

Aurélie quickly did a hand stand, making it to her feet again easily, a blade already making its way to the echidna's head.

Elesis had already turned to face her, caught the wrist, bringing her other arm in for an uppercut.

The dog braced herself for the blow, jerking her knee up and into the echidna's gut.

The echidna could feel her fist ram home into the dog's chin, but also felt the wind knocked out of her from the knee she received.

Aurélie quickly spun, ramming her elbow into the echidna's back and sending her to the floor.

Elesis rolled, getting back to her feet in an instant. She took a deep breath, resetting her stance.

The dog didn't feel like giving her any time, however, and was quickly on her again. She delivered a quick series of blows - an uppercut to the chin, an elbow jab to the stomach, and a swift punch to the back and had her on the ground again.

The echidna groaned softly, gritting her teeth. Aurélie was getting serious now!

She backed up, blowing out a breath. It still felt as though Elesis was holding back on her. It was frustrating, but she also assumed that she had an ability such as what Cross and Nova had. She'd been with them, after all.

Elesis took this break to her advantage. On her feet in an instant, she charged Aurélie with speed unlike what was displayed, shooting an uppercut to the body, followed quickly by a straight punch to her chest. She could feel her hands growing hot...

Aurélie dodged the second punch quickly, two blades spinning between her fingers. Her eyes were no longer dull, but dark. Whatever Elesis was hiding, she wanted to know. Fighting to not kill was forgotten.

Elesis skidded to a stop some feet away from the dog. When she turned back to the dog, she gave her a piercing glare, her hands visibly glowing with heat...

"That's enough!"

She didn't hear Nova over the roar of the flames that engulfed her hands. Her stance changed, became almost feral.

Aurélie's changed as well, knives spinning entirely too fast to be seen.

With a ferocious cry, Elesis charged in, a hand scraping the ground, which went up in flames.

The dog rushed forward. Fire? Fine. Without her hands pausing, the blades were changed into fire-proof ones and she tossed them both at Elesis, more springing to her hands.

The blazing echidna knocked them away with her other hand, and kept her course. When she was close enough, she took a wild swipe at her. If it didn't hit, the heat wave was sure enough to get her.
