So that was it, the female zoan user had the capability to disperse the effects of her punches, so blunt force attacks wouldn't be effective, "You bad guys are fucking stupid you know that right? Why would you reveal that your weaker than me? thats idiotic" the petite human would state. "I never sssssssssaid i wasssss weaker than you, you cow, i ssssaiid i wassssn't asss sssstrong asssss you" the snake would say as she licked her lips. "Itsss a ssshame, your too sssstrong to let live, i wont be able to put some meat on your bonesssss before i devour you" the snake lady would say, her body lunged showing incredibly strength, though Melissa found something stranger in her movements, when moving she would always rebound her tail, moving it in a way so that it was close by her humanoid shaped body. Could that be it? It was the scales that protected her, her humanoid body didn't have scales. Alas it was a theory but one she would need to test out.
So the two would charge, female upon female, the snake was quicker, she had such agility for her large form, it was inspiring to see. but the bush allowed for some well needed hiding spaces, as well as cutting ones vision off once in a while. Inches away and the tail of the snake would come swinging, Now the girl knew that if she were to punch at the tail, the effects would be neutralized. But their is more than one way to stop an opponent who can't be punched. As the tail came for her, the female put all her might into holding her ground. The tail connected with her ribs, she was positive that at least one of them was broken, yet she would hold on, her arms were powerful, enough to effectivly lock the movement of the tail. "I told you, you shouldn't have told me your strength is weaker than mine" Melissa would say with a smile. "BITCHHHHHH" screeched the snake lady, her front body now rushing forth, so she intended to strike with her mouth. Yet the snake lady would be pulled, pulled in the opposite direction as the female began to swing her, the strain in Melissa's face was evident, the female was heavy that was for sure, but now the momentum had taken her, the snake lady being spun around like a lasso, the powerful abdomen smashing into the trees clearing the area.
With a scream of defiance, Melissa would push downwards, being high up in the tree's, this downward momentum would push the snake zoan hybrid through the air at alarming speeds. The snake screamed in pain from the bashing her upper body took against the tree's thus confirming Melissas suspicion. As the snake struck the ground she would release a moan of pain. Melissa would not think it over, the girl was not that foolish. Though huffing and puffing, she would jump through the hole that had been created in the tree's. Falling through the air among pieces of wood. One strike to the head, thats all she needed. She felt the wind flow through her, she loved moving through the air like this, flowing down. It reminded her of soaring over buildings after a thief job, it was marvellous. As she fell though she would remain vigilant, she watched the snake, it seemed moving her upper body was painful. Though the snakes eyes were trained upon her. As Melissa fell the snake smiled, "YOUR MINE" she screeched as she shot the massive tail upwards like a spear. If that had been Leonidas or Coniko, Melissa wondered how they would handle it, could they move in the air? could they dance in the wind?
The tail came up, aiming to strike, Yet the smile upon Melissa's face was evident, she twisted her body seemingly pushing her higher in the air, her foot touched upon the scaly body, and soon instead of soaring she was running down the elongated member. Charging as she pulled her hand back, clearing the distance. Closing in. She would strike, The snake would growl, hissing as her mouth expanded. She intended to eat her. It would come down to this. Her fist moved, with all her strength. It came down to this. Time seemed to stand still, She had connected, connected with the snake, but pain......pain filled her shoulder,..the dislocated bone had shattered, the strike had released a small yet powerful shockwave and her strength, her strength had prevailed. The entire bone of the upper mouth had shattered, the shockwave had bypassed the weak bone and had caused damage to the brain. The snake zoan versus Melissa had ended. The winner, victorious, Melissa Devaroux.
A grimaced was evident as the dead snake remained in its place, her hand moved to the object in her shoulder, her hand grasped the object and pulled downwards. Shattering the tooth from the mouth. Pulling it from her shoulder she gave a soft squeal of pain. The wound wasn't to deep, it wouldn't fully hinder her....unless she had to use that technique. Puffing from exertion the girl would take deep breaths as she jumped from the body to the snake. Smiling, she would move towards the sounds of battling, quickly as blood ran down her shoulder. The pain was subsiding. As she came out of the clearing, she would see Coniko. Yet she could not see Leonidas, she did see that Coniko was in battle. "CONIKO, ARE YOU OK, DO YOU NEED MY HELP?" she would shout, her hand covering her wound. The dirt and scrapes she had obtained made her look somewhat stronger, she would look at the hyena..wondering if she should intervene anyway.
