He’d expected the liver blow to stun her long enough to prevent an immediate counter but she surprised him with her toughness.   That strike wouldn’t keep him down however and he was right on the gambler’s tail as she leaped away, diving underneath the wave of cards that followed. As he rolled to his feet, his legs had shifted burnt orange and digitigrade once more. It was a better transformation for their more mobile fight.<br/><br/>As he approached he tried to slide beneath the cards she had launched at him but his fatigue cost him and one of the cards slammed into his shoulder hard. He winced and could’ve sworn he hear he pop of his left shoulder was dislocated from the raw concussive force. It screwed up his follow up and as he returned to his feet he stumbled for a second. When he recovered from his stumble and caught back up to the retreating Destiny he launched a middle kick to cut off her retreat followed by another kick, this one aimed at her followed by a round house kick aimed at the ribs on the left side of her body.<br/><br/>He was putting more power into his strikes but they were slower, riskier. He needed to end this fight soon. The damage and the fatigue were piling up. This was a close fight and he knew he could come out of this fight with his head held high win or lose but still he continued. He might have been able to hold his head high but there was no way he would be satisfied if he lost
