[color=f6989d][h1][center]Vicki Victory[/center][/h1][/color] Just a moment before the shadow clone could impale her, Vicki placed her gauntlets into x-formation, guarding her vulnerable flesh. The metal-on-metal impact resounded with a mighty [i]clang[/i], and Vicki was forced to lean back slightly from the recoil. Vicki pushed back the shadow clone with a forceful shove from both gauntlets, causing it to stagger backwards. In one smooth motion from the push, Vicki brought her left arm down low, priming the boosters. The steel-plated fist rocketed into an explosive uppercut, landing square on the shadow clone's chin. The black figure went flying, and disappeared in a puff of black vapor upon hitting the ground. Vicki resumed her boxing stance, bouncing from one foot to the other, her yellow gym shorts flapping from the motion. Just a few seconds ago, she was terrified for her life. Now, Vicki was absolutely enjoying this, even knowing that her life was on the line. She bared a grin at Garrett, taunting him,[color=f6989d]"Is that all you got, crouching tiger?"[/color] [@Ambra]
