They had gotten a running start, made one jump over the railing that surrounded the patio, and then again to flying kick through the window itself to land in the front room of the restaurant, where roughly a dozen Jade Fangs were gathering in response to the intruders that the one man from outside had come in shouting about.  Landing near the front tables, the two Exalted fighters would be able to see that four men - one of whom was the guy from outside - were the closest to all of them out of the crew.  Three of the four attempted leaping power punches, whereas a fourth rushed the pair, weaving through the tables...<br/><br/>...right into Joy's boxing one-two counter.  She sent him sailing back into the crowd of thugs he'd emerged from, and that apparently was enough to make at least some of them think twice about going up against the two girls who had suddenly appeared in their hideout, causing them to head for the kitchen and presumably the back door (to run away and live to get their asses kicked another day).  Aika, on the other hand, went for the guy who had run inside to warn the rest of the Jade Fangs about their arrival.  Her blow dizzied the goon, but did not knock him out.  He was not going to be a threat, at least, not for the moment.<br/><br/>That just left the other two who had charged them, now in close combat range.
