I personally ship Sonadow [Knuckles]

Her eyes tracked his movements fairly well, she was able to see his speed before he moved thanks to her lenses, his strength, and how tough he was all in relation to her. The plan was simple, spar with him until he showed whether or not he had any special abilities. Rushing in without sparring a bit and seeing how he fared was reckless even if she could see his current physical capabilities.

The text-book jab was simple enough, as it began to shoot out her right palm would strike across softly to his forearm, pushing it across his body. Her right foot drew back slightly at the same time, her knees bending and her head? Would strike forward in a headbutt toward the bridge of his nose.

(OOC: I fucked up, quick retcon, she used the back of her left hand to deflect that earlier hit, too late for me to edit the hit working unless you'd rather just assume it hit and he followed up, your choice. Forgot she has one arm, it's a relatively new development.)

The shoulder connected with her head, and was quickly quickly followed up with his right elbow swinging across. Her left arm came up and took the elbow strike to her forearm, a slight sting from the blow but otherwise absorbed pretty well. Of course, that left her undefended to the grip of her tank top, pulled and stretching as he launched his head for hers. She quickly tucked her head down so that the brunt of the blow would be against the thicker part of her skull, still giving another stinging pain but hopefully catching him in a more vulnerable area.

Sarah's left hand would reach out to grip the guy's shoulder as her left knee would come up to strike toward his solar plexus. She needed to wind him to catch a moment to adjust herself better to his fighting style, so hit or miss she would attempt to disengage a little by strafing away from him and adjusting to a kickboxing style to put some more range between them and use her legs to her advantage.

(OOC: Nah bro, makes perfect sense)

"Eyes front Soldier," She told the guy when his eyes went downward. As he struck her knee and pushed into her body. Rather than have her body twist in on it self she hopped off the ground in the same motion pushing her hand hard on his shoulder, fingers digging under the collarbone to give something for her to connect with. Her right knee would shoot up in the motion for his face, the upward motion would put her higher up in relation to him, but with the twisting motion would still ground her, but with her significantly higher up than anticipated so that he wasn't mounting her.

She didn't mind taking it to the floor at all. Hit or miss the knee toward his face would be followed up by bringing her knees up toward her chest and kicking her feet outward, straightening her back to kick him off/away from her and give her time to vault herself onto her feet.

The kick came in for her and she simply rolled away from it, as she rolled over her elbow her hand planted and pushed to get her up quickly. Of course, the kick handn't been completely avoided, it had brushed against her shoulder along where her healed closure on her arm was. It stung a little bit easily manageable. "You're a bit of a scrapper."

She shuffled her feet back and froth, sidestepping around him and shifting right forward, left forward, right forward. "So, got any tricks up your sleeve or is this all there is to you?"

The crater didn't catch her off guard necessarily so much as tell her something new. She felt the shockwave damage but it was more like a tickle to her, not really hurting so much as just being a mild discomfort. His shoulder charge carried slightly more oomph into it, but she reacted quickly, her left arm would wrap around his body and left him up before he was able to hit him with the double fists. She felt a surge of strength through her body as she would stand tall and leap, bringing her leg's up as she would drop down to the center of the hole in a piledriver of sorts.

"I haven't even yet!"

Given her height and the fact that she got a grab higher up on her body she had changed her plan, her thigh would be out of his reach but her hair would be fair game. As to where they went? Change of plans with the change of the grab when she jumped she actually jumped backwards and would push him up even higher in front of her as she fell back so that he would come crashing down hard on his back.

She would roll over immediately in a three point stance with her only arm, and would look straight into his face. "Nice try, Im' a little quicker on the pickup than that though."

She'd await an attack from him, and be ready to counter it.
