Yang was retreating as she went on a full defensive effort. The Twins had her on the ropes, but a calm collectives held Yang together. She even dared to take some glances over to see how her new friend Amarok was doing. It looked like he wasn't doing well. Amarok had just taken a blow to the head. [I]Come on dude! Hold in there![/I] Yang screamed that in her head as she kept up her defense.

Perhaps it was the dire situation of Amarok but Yang felt like she had to turn the tide of battle. She'd have to drop her defense but she decided to take a chance and knock one of the Twins away, even if that meant taking a blow or two. In between Melanie's kicks and Malachite's kicks, Yang threw a punch directed at Malachite. Assisted by blast from Ember Cecilia, the punch connected but Malachite had managed to raise gauntlet and defend against it. The blow knocked her back a few steps, however, and hopefully that's all Yang needed. She turned to face Melanie and as Yang predicted, Melanie planted a hard kick to Yang's unprotected side. Yang grunted but quickly caught Melanie's leg before she could pull it away. Yang gave the now worried Melanie a grin before pulling Melanie in for a punch to her precious face. Melanie rose her arms up and blocked it but the intensity of the blow caused her hands to bash into her face. Stunned, Yang spun and threw Melanie aside, but she stayed on her feet and charged Yang again.
