Once more, Melina's plans did not work exactly as she planned. Tulius was surprised to see her jumping in front of her, but he was so fast that he could not stop and managed to dodge her staff for the first time. However, her punch caught his face and cause him to get dizzy momentarily. This is exactly when Melina took advantage of his momentaneous low level of attention. Tulius just felt the strong female body pushing him backwards to the ground in order to pin him. When the dizziness passed, it was too late - her staff was laid across his neck. Tulius grabbed her staff and forced it up, but the female had the advantage of using her muscles and weight at the same time. Tulius growled as he failed to get rid of her.
