Aika didn't have speed blessed by the gods - not at the kind of level Joy could display - but she was quick enough on her own two feet.  The quartet of fighters that had initially engaged the pair of Exalted seemed to realize their error - the man furthest back being the luckiest because he did not have to run face first into the wall of fists that was Aika and Joy.  They drew back, playing defensively to try and buy time - not that it mattered.  Joy's open hand strike sent her own target spiraling down onto the ground; Aika's roundhouse kick bounced him off the pavement of the alleyways.  "Not that I'm expecting any of you to, but if you happen to survive us, go back and tell your boss the Viper her days in Hisashiro are<em>through</em>!"<br/><br/>The last two men, the ones furthest back, seemed to slowly be edging away from the fight - the two that remained of the initial four were trying to, as well, but they had the disadvantage of being in close with Joy and Aika; the Tennin fighter spared a quick glance over her shoulder to Kanami - she was still standing there, ready to take on anyone that managed to move their way past them.  The girl kept looking down the side streets, hoping to spot any other Fangs...so far, nothing.
