As Yoko's blade was expertly parried, she clenched her teeth and swore under her breath. She was sure she had been swift enough with her attack for it to land, but the alien's speed was incredible. Before she could even recover from her miss, Warhorse's fists collided with her head, sending her reeling backwards in pain.<br/><br/>"Yoko, are you all right?!" Rika screamed over the neural link. "Maybe you better get out of there while..."<br/><br/>But Yoko reset her combat stance and shook off the blow. Unfortunately in this case, her father's stubbornness may not have been the most helpful of traits as the woman she was facing was clearly stronger and faster than she was. Grasping her sword tightly again, she bolted forward and swung.<br/><br/>But even if it hit, she didn't know, because it obviously didn't do enough to slow her enemy down. Another backhand struck her, and this time it sent her entire body flying backwards into the wall. She screamed out loudly, but her voice went silent a moment later as the force of the blow knocked her out cold.<br/><br/>The crowd that had been watching the fight was stunned. The Scarlet Sentinel had been defeated so easily? Half the crowd ran in terror, but the other half remained to see what happened next.<br/><br/>((First blow hits since I can't beat that))<br/>((Potency: 3))<br/><strong>Hit: 13 Damage: 14</strong>http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=443328<br/><strong>Dodge: 12</strong>http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=443320<br/>((Potency: 0))<br/>((Even if my hit hits, it doesn't do anything significant.
