Brandon's pupils narrowed as Selena closed the distance in an instant, her presence smashing into him like a tidal wave.
The sand beneath his feet liquefied from the pressure alone, and his blazer snapped violently behind him.
*screech-*
Her fist slammed into his guard, black-red ether detonating on contact.
He blocked it with his forearm, twisting his body and dispersing the force in a burst of blue ether.
Selena didn't give him a moment.
She drove her knee toward his ribs, but Brandon twisted his torso and caught it under his arm.
Crimson lightning crawled over his skin as her ether tried to eat through his defenses.
He pulled her forward and slammed his forehead into hers.
CRACK.
Selena's head snapped back, blood spraying into the air in a crimson arc.
But instead of collapsing, she laughed "Ha... Hahaha."
Her hands shot up and grabbed into his shoulders as she headbutted him again.
Brandon quickly countered with a brutal elbow strike to her sternum.
BOOM.
