Kate vs The Justin

[Mathew Amtrum]

Boat in a Lake: This one's gonna be more an exercise in balance than in peril, fighters. You'll sit together on a boat, not a big one, but not one you can't move around in either. You'll be rowed out to the middle of the lake and left there. The boat's about twenty feet square each way, making it more like an outsize raft than anything. However, that bad boy is not gonna stay still while you're beating the hell out of each other. So don't rock the boat, fighters, because falling into the water below counts as an instant loss. Hope you don't mind getting a little wet. Good luck fighters.

[THE Justin]

Stu stood. He was liking the situation he was given; nice rickety boat. He excelled in close quarters fighting, which is exactly what this needed. He also liked tossing people about, and one good toss would send anyone overboard.

His opponent was some girl. He didn't know who, and he didn't care. He was prepared to throw her or pummel her or whatever was necessary. Hell, he was already formulating a devastating plan of attack for a quick finisher.

Lets see how things go. AHOY HOY!

[Kate]

A fight was something that Kate always sought out. She loved to fight, which was weird for such a rich bitch like her. Most of them just wanted to screw around, spend money, and complain about things. Kate had other things in life that she liked. So she was sitting in the middle of a lake in a boat with a guy who wanted to tip the entire thing over. Who would win if they both went crashing into the lake?

She offered him a stunning smile, full lips parting and twisting. He was going to make things difficult, wasn't he? Her hands latched onto the sides of the small boat they were on and she supported her weight very evenly between her two hands. Gripping that sternly, she suddenly kicked up, trying to knock her right foot into his chest and send him flying backward and into the water. This was going to be a game of who could push whom over the side first.

[THE Justin]

He was preparing for a devastating attack meant to get rid of him as soon as possible, but he wouldn't expect the quick donkey kick. However, it really only hurt her chances of winning, especially being so close to the edge.

Stu would duck, letting the right foot sail over his head. With both hands he shot upwards, attempting to grab both legs, which were now suspended in the air, and then he pushed. He was trying to toss her over boards, using her own attack against her. It was a smart move, if nothing else, it would frighten her into fighting on his terms maybe.

[Kate]

He shoved her leg, and thus it was a great thing that she had only kicked him with only one leg. Right in fact. And Kate was damn it all flexible, so when he shoved her body pretty much did the splits easily. The cheer leading captain knew how to do the splits.

While he was handling her right leg, her left one kicked him in the ribs. Or at least tried to. The blonde attempted to slam her heel straight into his ribs. She was wearing high heels, and thus the small sliver of heel into his ribs would hurt like a son of a bitch. Maybe she would break a few! Kate loved to break ribs. Made it hard for the other person to move, or breath really. And it would give her a huge advantage in this fight. There was a grin on her full lips as she did this.

[THE Justin]

Stu threw the leg, and watched as the other one equated the balance. *Fine.* He thought, and lowered his arm to absorb the blow, stinging like a bitch from the hit. He grimaced, but decided to try another solution.

As the leg connected, he'd twist his hand around to grab the leg and hold it, hopefully, while he set forth with both of his own feet. By holding her leg he reduced her ability to move, and with the kick he was about to do to her... it would probably send her careening.

Since she was held aloft by her arms, limbs which are not meant to completely support and transport a person, he had an advantage when he sized his own attacks up against her. With both feet connected, he jumped slightly, still trying to hold onto the girl's leg with his left hand, both feet drilled forth to try and impact on her chest.

If successful, there was a good chance the hit would send her flying off of the boat, and if she didn't try to move with the attack, she would have to take the full brunt of the kick. If he missed somehow, the attack would have a good chance of kicking either her arms or her face.

Either way, the attack to try and cut out her support section, her middle, would make this match either shortlived or more interesting.

[Kate]

She'd have to make a point to fight on small boats more often. Figuring out the balance on this thing was something rather tricky. He grabbed her leg and tried to slam both of his feet into her chest. Now then, she could end this right now. Kate could twist out of the way, and lock her other leg around his. They'd both go into the drink and frankly, who would move on in such a situation?

That of course would be her attempt if it seemed like he was going to win. Kate would try to drag him in the drink with her. He had a hold on her leg and pretty much jumped to slam both feet into her chest. She took it. Kate took the hit and grunted loudly from the impact. That one was going to hurt. But the leg he had shoved before? She moved it to wrap around his legs. Then, still bracing herself with her arms, she twisted her hips roughly. Trying to send him off balance and into the water. Granted, she was still connected to him, but if he hit the water first...

[THE Justin]

Stu's feet impacted against her chest roughly. He bounced off slightly, her leg trying to coil around his. However, since he was standing, he only widened his stance, and since she wasn't exactly a snake, her attempts to coil and pull would be for nought.

Stu was getting tired of this. He lifted one foot and sent it crashing downwards towards the boat. He put all his strength into the blow, attempting to shatter the boat area that she clung to so desperately. She had chosen the position that put her closest to the water, and so she would be the one in the water. Stu would make sure of that.

He would continue stomping until the part of the boat that she was attached to would be splinters, good chance that she would fall in the water. Admittedly, the boat would probably sink, but Stu was in the more advantageous position should that happen; he wasn't stuck grasping onto the edge of the boat.

[Kate]

The moment he started smashing into the boat, Kate's tatics completely changed. Her feet landed on the sides of the boat, and her leg muscles moved. She shoved herself up with those hands of hers so they were both standing. The boat wasn't going to last much longer. So this fight wasn't going to last much longer. Who would be the first into the water? That was what was going to make or break this fight.

Her hands balled into fists, and the pretty blonde threw an upper cut into his ribs, or at least tried to. Her chest was hurting something fierce and Kate had a feeling she would find many bruises along her chest later on that evening. One thing was for certain, if she couldn't swim because of the damage, someone better save her ass so she didn't drown. And if they didn't, she'd figure out a way to haunt them forever. Seriously. Punks.

[THE Justin]

Stu's foot splintered the boards when he saw her land, and changed his tactics. The boat was now structurally weak, and it wouldn't last much longer. He grinned that devilish grin that made women swoon and men cringe.

As her fist rocketed forth it wasn't that hard to stop it. A quick chop downwards with his left hand, stopping the blow before it would connect. With his right fist he threw a quick jab, and then swatting her right hand away from the attempted uppercut, he threw the left hand towards her stomach, using their proximity to sneak in under her defenses.

Finally, should neither or both or one of them connect, he'd use the time that she was reacting to slam his foot down a final time, and smash the plank of the boat, which would, if she didn't react in time, cause her right foot to shoot upwards and throw her off balance.

[Kate]

He blocked her, and that smile? Please. Damien had shoved better smiles her way. She had caved to pretty smiles before in her life, the blonde wasn't going to fall for any more of them. Her free hand blocked the one incoming to her stomach. The jab however, grazed her face, making her face hurt a bit.

But when he slammed the plank? Her right foot did come up, but instead of letting it unbalance her she attempted to plant the kick in his chest. She was flexible, and used that to her advantage in certain situations. Kate didn't know if this was one of those certain situations, but she was going to find out.

She sure as hell could kick like a mule.If he grabbed onto her leg, then she'd grab the edge of the boat and jerk him toward the tipped edge. Trying to get him to fall over. If he just blocked then she'd swing her leg down and break the boat where he was standing. And if he did something weird, then she'd react to that as well.

[THE Justin]

Stu felt his knuckles graze her face, and then felt as her foot implanted against his chest. He felt the breath escape slightly as he steeled his body and let her kick hit him, bending at the knees instead of letting it kick him.

As he fell to the plank, now her leg hovering above him, her foot soared downwards.

Mistake!

She was already straddling a piece of broken boat, and Stu twisted himself towards the right, her foot splintering another section of boat. It immediately fell away. The boat creaked. Another strong hit and it would cave in and send them into the drink.

Stu rolled away from the downward kick and towards the section of the boat that was more stable. Kate was now on the losing side of the boat, having stood her ground.

Stu grinned again.

"Check and Mate."

He waited. The air was thick with the tension, the boat rocking slightly. It was large enough to accomodate a spar, but do to their redecoration, it was listing slightly and wouldn't take much more damage.

Stu began jumping. He was on the strong side, and the ripples of pressure sent towards kate's side would begin to losing the planks... and hopefully plunge her into the drink.

[Kate]

Stu was a bigger guy than Kate, physics dictated that the boat would start to lean on the side with more weight. Which considering the guy was skinny, but a great deal taller than Kate... he had more mass. Which as he rolled to one side of the boat, was his side. It wouldn't matter if her side was more damaged, the boat would begin to lean his way.

Kate was about done with this game. Instead of trying to win, as she should, the blonde was going for her other option. Which of course, was making sure that neither of them won at all. A tie if you will. She was on a sort of, in a way, a suicide mission. TAKE THEM BOTH OUT OF THE RUNNING!!!

Stu was jumping on one side of the boat, sending the entire frame into shivering. Kate's emerald eyes could see where the boat was going to come apart in the seams. It was SOOOO simple. There would be no getting out of it either.

She simply timed her jump with his. Jumping over to his side of the boat, making her feet land at the exact moment his did. With such an evil grin on her lips, emerald eyes sparkling.

It was easy to assume someone, if not both of them were going into the water. Kate had jumped when he had. The boat, flipped instead of falling apart. They would both hit the water at the exact same time, under said boat. Kate was ready for it, was Stu?

She swam away and broke the surface, still grinning.

[Shifty Eyes]

Due to lack of reply and Justins current status on the board, Kate wins by default.

Next round will be up within 24 hours.
