The goon Aika had struck wavered in place, his head back, eyes staring glassily upwards.  Joy could see a swirling pattern of five pointed stars in yellow and white spinning over his head.  That was jarring, given how real this was otherwise.  How real it looked, how real if felt.  Her blood was pumping in her veins, singing through her body as she did was she was born to do!  To fight!  To win!<br/><br/>The Jade Fang mook opposite her was telegraphing his punch so much that he should have had a Western Union logo on his fist.  She put her weight back as he threw the punch, taking a half step back to weave just far enough that his swing went wide, pulling him off balance.  His eyes bulged as the busty brawler stepped back in and swung her right fist in a classic boxing cross, catching him in the chin and spinning him back in a half circle.  His life bar drained down to flashing red, but the man shook his head and stood up straight once more.<br/><br/>Beyond her, Aika moved with the grace of flowing water in a circular step that took her around her opponent's strike, then back in just in time to deliver a blow with the heel of her palm right to his forehead.  The man grunted but wasn't rocked back, his life bar just chipping down one notch.  "You look so pretty when you fight," Joy complimented her.  "But sometimes, you just have to hit 'em hard!"
