[center][b][color=ed1c24][h3]Alexis Tomer, The Fire Fighter[/h3][/color][/b][/center][hr] Alexis had one thing in mind and only one thing. She wanted to get this hit in. It had all of her might and with the amount of her power thrown into it, it very well posed a threat to Casana's life. Even though this is mostly an advanced sparring match, Alexis wasn't going to hold back. Regardless, it would seem that Casana wouldn't be able to get her hit in as she was suddenly hit in her gut. Alexis blinked a few times. To her, time froze around her. It wasn't exactly that, but the image of her getting struck in the gut played over and over like a broken record. the hymns of the angels playing in the background as the newly-formed blunt-force weapon planted itself into her exposed gut area. And then time unfroze for her. A single moment passed and Alexis coughed up blood, the crimson liquid being forced upon Casana's clothing. In the real time of the battle, Alexis' vision started to now blur due to the fact that her gut was struck so hard. It was due to this fact that her Fighter's Spirit started to waver. The sparks of fire flashing. Each flash lowered her form closer and closer to the ground. Alexis tried all that she could to get control of it and stay suspended in the air, but to no avail. Alexis just was hit too hard to keep her Fire Aura in its entirety. As a result of this, Alexis was plummeting to the ground like a meteor from the sky with only the ground to be her cushion. About three feet from the ground, Alexis took conscious up again. She flipped her body as her stomach area was facing the ground. She was able to position her body in such a way that, while she was able to somewhat land safely on the ground, her right knee and hand scraped against the ground. All the while, her gaze was directly up at Casana. It did not shift at all. A burning anger now lit up Alexis' eyes. Her single focus was winning by any means necessary.
