"New guys!  You take care of the coward," Joy crowed.  It might not be fair to leave Aika to deal with that one weenie guy, but she was fired up and wanted more.  More of the fight, more of this feeling, of her blood singing in her veins!  She ran towards the oncoming men and drew her right fist back, low to her waist and then grunted, throwing a massive uppercut that sent her shooting forward from the force of her punch.<br/><br/>The first of the two newcomers didn't even get a chance to act, her strike caught him in the stomach to lift him up into the air and send him tumbling.  He landed on his stomach and stayed still, groaning.  On the back of his black shirt was a coiled snake, rising to strike, the body red and with bright green fangs.  His comrade screamed and leaped into the air, kicking out towards Joy, only to be rebuffed by her still upraised fist blocking the hit.<br/><br/>She put herself fully in front of him as he landed, "Nice try, but you've got to do better than that!"
